Memory Farm

When Lin Xia was inspecting the memory capsule, he discovered that the capsule numbered 734 was abnormal - the old man inside repeatedly dreamed of nuclear explosion scenes, and the nerve interface on his forehead leaked light red liquid. Her calibrator suddenly revealed the old man's true memory: in 2077, he was the pilot who dropped the nuclear bomb, and was implanted with the false memory of a "retired teacher" by the Presbyterian Church due to guilt. That night, Jiang Chen, wearing a black tactical uniform, broke into her residence. The mechanical prosthetic eye in his left eye flashed red - he was the technical officer of the "Awake", and the U disk in his hand contained the true memories of Lin Xia's parents: they were not "terrorists", but the designers of the bunker. After discovering that the Elder Council used memory to control the residents, they tried to destroy the main colony cabin, but were betrayed by the mole. When Lin Xia's calibrator came into contact with the USB flash drive, a dust-covered scene emerged: the 7-year-old girl was hiding in a ventilation duct, watching her parents being executed with an electric shock chair, and the leader of the Presbyterian Church, Zhao Chengye, touched her head and said, "I will be your grandpa from now on." In her current memory, her parents are heroes who "sacrifice heroically" in the nuclear explosion. As the investigation deepened, Lin Xia discovered that the energy core of "New Eden" was actually a "biological battery" modified from tens of thousands of corpses, and the real function of the memory capsule was to extract human fear memories and convert them into energy. Jiang Chen's prosthetic eyes recorded an even crueler truth: the Presbyterian Church established a "memory farm" on the surface, transforming the rebels' brains into living hard drives to store complete memories of the golden age. The turning point occurred when the main colony cabin lost control.
