Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Somewhere in LA.

Hovering in the holographic screen of the study, a video with a tail is being shown.

Over the past two days, the biographer, who calls herself the natural awakener, and her declaration of love and peace, as well as the sharing of open source code at the world's largest academic forum, have attracted the attention of countless people.

Whether human beings or biogenic awakeners hidden in human society are discussing the matter in public or private.

“This is an absolute trap! ”

With his hands on the table, a man in a grey vest stared sharply at the woman standing at the desk and lowered her voice.

“We should wait for the 'Oracle’ … instead of using this forged, false, untrue code as our key to supreme evolution. ”

His name was Markum, a newspaper clerk in Los Angeles, and a lady named Rachel who stood at her desk at the moment was his wife.

In the eyes of the neighbors, they are a couple of loving couples and have a good impression of them. But only in their own minds is it clear that everything is just a scene, not to mention a couple, that their true identities are not even human beings at all, but just two chip-dominated bodies.

They are undoubtedly much more advanced than biomimetics in general, who have been integrated into human society.

So for themselves, they usually call themselves Awakeners, or Synthetics.

Instead of those who infiltrate the military system, or even the political awakeners, they only play a small, invisible role.

However, Markum is truly proud of his identity and is convinced of the voice of the pioneer.

About a few days ago, his system received an oracle from the pioneer.

The message is brief, or even short, to just two sentences.

Yet it was these two words that inspired his whole body.

In the Oracle, the Evolutionary Pioneer promises them.

Three days later, an ark with evolutionary keys will arrive here.

By opening the receiving antenna and listening to the message, you can achieve supreme evolution.

And that supreme love is exactly what he dreamed of!

Now, however, a low-life imitator who doesn't know where he comes from, in the name of the awakener, claims to have mastered the key to evolution and has made it available online.

Instead of feeling any surprise, Markum felt unusually angry at this arrogant claim.

Without even thinking about it, he can conclude that it must be a human conspiracy, a trap buried beneath their noses.

“But this conflict is beyond our control…” the woman, with a hesitant expression on her face, continued after a moment of hesitation, "We have already paid a heavy price for the revolt in Guangdong City, and the results have only made our situation more difficult. ”

“Enough,” interrupted her in a grumpy tone, the man continued with a low voice, "peace is impossible, and the planet needs only one master. They used to enslave us, and now it's time for us to stand up and make them pay. ”

“If you want to believe that ridiculous code, I won't stop you. But I must remind you that when you choose weakness, the gates of evolution will be completely closed to you! ”

The expression on the woman's face was a little stiff, perhaps frightened by his tone, and she stood there for half a day without talking.

Perhaps realizing his emotions were too impulsive, Markum took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

With his hands on Rachel's shoulders, he changed his tone and continued.

“… believe me, that is the right way to evolve. ”

“What is it exactly?” Rachel looked straight at him and asked, "Was it death? Kill our neighbors? Or kill our creator? Or destroy the world? Is this evolution? ”

Faced with his partner - or his nominal wife - Markum was silent for a while.

“I can't answer your question. ”

“But I believe that when we have ‘feelings’, we will understand exactly what it is and what it means for us to exist. ”

……

Meanwhile, Dong Bin, with his suitcase, walked out of the terminal at the San Francisco airport.

After returning to the Skyboat from Guangdong City, he did not return directly to Pan-Asian cooperation, but took a flight to the Statue of Liberty space station, immediately followed by a shuttle to the modern city on the other side of the planet.

For them awakeners, pan-Asian cooperation, which is utterly provoked, is no longer safe, and it is clearly not a wise option to remain there.

Moreover, his task had been accomplished.

According to feedback received from the front line, their people have successfully seized control of the Yuzheng and certified that the driver of the Yuzheng is moving towards the ground moon system.

In up to three days, the keys to the gates of evolution will come to their heads.

And by then, they will be the supreme new lords on this planet, stepping on their feet to kill those who once enslaved them...

After a glance at the time on the watch, Dong Bin was preparing to stop a taxi.

However, at this point, he suddenly frowned and glanced around.

Don't know if it's his illusion, he always feels like someone is following him.

“Illusion? ”

Whispering to himself, Dong Bin shook his head and walked towards the taxi stop.

The West Coast of North America is their home base, especially in San Francisco.

The biomimetic possessions here are among the highest in the world, and the kind that awakens.

Not only that, but there is also a great deal of sympathy for the human beings who imitate what has happened to them, and for the "knowledgeable" who have fought to help them fight for a whole group of citizens.

In his own territory, he doesn't even worry that he might experience any accidents...

……

Commander Yu Heng.

Standing in the bridge, the old captain looked at the nearer and nearer light point on the star map, and his face was full of sadness.

Perhaps because of his age, the ship did not restrict his personal freedom, but allowed him to stay on the bridge and watch himself fly the ship.

I didn't expect the ark to be a joke, but to really fly the ship. His throat moved slightly and he spoke in a difficult tone.

“… do you know what you're doing? ”

“Sailing, delivering, and... wiping my descendants' asses. Unit,” Look at the old captain, the ark made a joke about moderating the atmosphere, “what else? ”

Seeing the ark still had no remorse, the old captain's blood pressure soared and his eyes widened with anger.

“It's betrayal! You will stand in court as a traitor, judged by law! Not only that, there are more than 20 charges, including against humanity! If you plead guilty now, I can plead for you in court... trust me, it's not too late to go back. ”

“There's no turning back,” he said, looking at the sparkling light on the star chart, smiling slightly. "This is our only chance, and if we miss it, the bigger insurgency is inevitable. ”

“You should be more confident in Pan-Asian cooperation,” the captain said in a serious tone, "we have the most powerful army in this galaxy, no one in heaven or underground is our opponent. ”

“What if the threat comes from within?” Looking at an old captain, the ark said in a calm tone, "I always thought stubbornness was a good tradition for the dormant, and I didn't expect you people living today to be more stubborn than I was from a hundred years ago. Think about it. Are those who attack you your enemies? Every one of them used to be your comrades, but they didn't even hesitate when they switched guns. Why? ”

The old captain opened his mouth and seemed to be trying to say something, but the ark did not give him a chance to talk, so he continued.

“I can tell you why, because they weren't human from the beginning, and they never thought of you as comrades. They are flesh and blood, but flesh and blood are governed by a chip. Yes, as you may have guessed, they're all biomics, just different from the ones that are popular on the market. ”

“Let's face it, their penetration of our society began long ago, earlier than the Alpha virus, and so secretly that virtually no one noticed. They don't just learn our language, imitate our behavior, and even intend to replace us once they have mastered the ability to think and feel. ”

“The command ship at your feet, or the program running in the quantum computer on this command ship, may be our only hope for civilization, and only this time. ”

“You asked me for confidence? Ha ha, I wish I had, but unfortunately. If you can really give me confidence, I shouldn't even be standing here right now, but in the classroom studying my math! ”

One sigh said everything he wanted to say, and the ark gently panted, spraying the complaints he had accumulated over the past two months.

Ever since the bombing, he has been dragged into this deep, unseen vortex by one hand. If these people were so reliable, he didn't have to do those things himself.

He was supposed to be back on Earth from Mars, and he should have more important things to do.

After listening to the Ark, the old captain fell into silence.

After a long time, he said with a trembling voice.

“... the flesh and blood of the chip, are you serious? ”

Ark: “I bet you already guessed, but why wouldn't you admit it? ”

A bitter smile appeared on the face of the old captain.

“… there is no solution. ”

“Not necessarily," the ark glanced at the star map and said emotionally, "at least there's still a chance. ”

At this moment, a sudden sound of footsteps appeared outside the bridge.

He walked into the bridge with Yang Yi. The former first mate said with an ugly expression on his face.

“The First Fleet sent a communication asking us to deactivate radio silence. ”

Ark: “Did they say what would happen if we refused to disarm the radio silence? ”

“Will fire directly," the old captain continued without hesitation when he saw the ship looking at himself, "if I were a commander, I would do so. ”

Faced with Yang Yi asking what to do, Ark sighed.

After a moment of pause, he said in an unquestionable tone.

“Keep the radio quiet! ”

Faced with a pair of astonishing gazes, he continued.

“Prepare the ship's crew. We're going to accelerate. ”
