Hearing the technical supervisor's explanation, Selena fell silent for several seconds before replying expressionlessly, "...A simple and effective solution."
She then took two steps forward, arriving before the hemispherical crystal device that housed the "Main Brain." Inside the transparent shell floated an artificial brain resembling the organ of a giant. The sight would have been somewhat mentally jarring to ordinary people, but for Selena, who had come from The Sleeper, it was merely an ordinary research subject.
Her line of sight swept over the metal electrodes fixed within the grooves of the brain tissue and the various conduits inside the container. Lopenny stepped forward as well and introduced the details of the device to her. "The Biomass pipelines connect to the containers from below, continuously delivering nutrients from the division pools to the Servo Brains at every level. Three independently operating pump systems maintain the circulation of these fluids. Even if one or two pump systems encounter an accident, the Servo Brains will not shut down from lack of nutrients. Each container also has independent filtration and alarm devices at its base. If toxic substances enter the circulation system, or metabolic waste in any section of piping exceeds the limit, the control center will know immediately."
"What if the toxic substances exceed the system's processing limit?" Selena asked without turning around. "Or if some other disaster cuts off the entire 'tower' from the outside... Please do not think I am deliberately making things difficult. After all, anything can happen in the real world. Over the past seven hundred years, I have witnessed far too many unimaginable disasters that affected entire systems."
"Of course, your concerns are necessary, and we do indeed have an ultimate protection plan," Viscountess Lopenny said with a confident smile. "Considering that the most precise and expensive
