Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Above San Francisco, clouds of undisturbed clouds gather.

Troy's Trojan horses eventually bypassed the walls, and those who looked up to the sky were all unprotected to “upgrade” the program.

Since when does it rain in the sky, a rain bead falls on that face looking up at the sky and splashes water on the tips of countless people's noses? And they still stood there motionless, unaware of their retreat.

That stunning scene caused the people in the vicinity to stop and cast an unexpected look at those who had been pressed on the pause key.

Is this some kind of group behavioral art?

Again, protesting for something they don't understand.

“Hey, it's raining. Don't just stand there. Go home. Come on! ”

The officer holding the beer belly was finally impatient.

Because he didn't have an umbrella, he started trying to disperse the crowd and reached out to the person closest to him.

However, when he pulled it off, the man was like a statue without a soul, and he fell straight to the ground.

The scene frightened the officer, and he squatted down to try to lift him up, but he saw a deathly silent look in his pupil.

Such eyes, he only saw in the pupils of the dead...

“Call an ambulance! ”

The hoarse screams cross the rain screen, yet they appear so insignificant on this chaotic stage.

This day, the entire San Francisco ward was full.

Also on that day, the number of new cases among plants worldwide exceeded 5 million.

A thumb-sized biomimetic chip was found in the brains of these plants without exception.

And quite coincidentally, these chips were damaged by overload without exception.

National security services have attempted to start with the chips themselves, yet no production information can be found on those chips that can point to their origin.

How such a large number of “illicit implants” enter the market has also become an issue that has been widely discussed in society…

“This is impossible…”

An apartment building on the outskirts of San Francisco, staring at a grey list on the holographic screen, Dong Bin's face filled with incredible fear.

Originally, on this great day, the world was about to change, and he and his compatriots were about to usher in a new era that belonged to them.

However, after receiving the data transmitted from the Jade Ball, his compatriots fell one after the other.

Even if the nerves were bigger, he would react.

The Jade Cheng is a trap!

The Oracle that was supposed to be brought back by their compatriots was hijacked by those humans!

At this moment he finally realized it, and yet it was too late. The viruses are worse than cancer cells, and in a matter of seconds, they paralyze the chips in the minds of the awakeners, turning them into walkers without souls or thoughts.

Nearly a century of effort has been completely destroyed.

Such a reality hurts his heart to almost a drop of blood.

At the same time, however, there was a confusion in his heart.

“... but why did I survive? ”

Looking at his hands, Dong Bin's face was filled with complex divine colors.

Or is the gateway to evolution closed to him?

Clearly he believed in the pioneer and was unquestionably faithful.

For him it was far more frightening than death.

Immersed in the spiritual world, connected to the virtual reality network, he came to that dark “temple”.

The pioneers of their faith still float upside down in that cylindrical incubator.

With a thoughtful expression on his face, the pioneer quietly looked at Dong Bin in front of himself and said.

“Incredible… I thought everyone was dead and I didn't expect anyone else to come before me. ”

Dong Bin said with a trembling voice: "Is it you... do you want us to die? ”

“Why should I do this, my child,” the pioneer sighed softly, some staring at the transparent incubator, slowly opening his mouth, "I should have guessed that his presence could cause trouble for our plan… even the biggest trouble, to say the least. ”

“He?” Dong Bin's throat moved gently, continuing, “Are you referring to Master Lu? ”

“Yes.”

Dong Bin cut off the nails and said.

“I'd like to get rid of him for you. ”

“Get rid of him? If I could, I would have done it a long time ago,” The pioneer laughed and suddenly had a little bit of loneliness in his tone, "but unfortunately... and now, even getting rid of him won't help. ”

When Pan-Asian cooperation turned its attention to Valley God, the Jade Cheng became his last hope.

And yet no one thought that he would plan to turn the hopeful starship into a trojan horse carrying the virus, disguised as those mutinous soldiers, at the risk of being turned into space trash by the Pan-Asian First Fleet.

By the time he saw the code, he'd figured it out, he'd lost.

“But I don't understand...”

“Don't understand what? ”

Dong Bin said in a complicated way.

“Why are you so sure… that he will be our biggest obstacle? Or is he the one who must have thwarted our plan? ”

“More than 80% of the reason is intuition, as for the rest," he closed his eyes gently, and the man standing in the incubator pondered for a while and said, “… probably because he looked directly into the void as well. ”

“Void? ”

“Well, knowing these is too early for you, you can understand that that's where our true creator is," looked at Dong Bin, and the man whispered, “including the program that runs on Valley Goddess Star… all stemming from the physics experiment 100 years ago. ”

“That sounds pretty outrageous… but I'd like to believe you.” Dong Bin's face was full of confusion. After a moment of struggle, he finally said, “I have one more question...”

“Ask. ”

“Why... I'm not dead,” he continued, looking at his hands in complexity, "I accepted that message as well, but why...”

“It's an interesting question, and I've been thinking about it, even though I can't figure it out," the man with the thoughtful expression on his face, called the pioneer, continues, "but the fact seems to be, whether it's the Alpha virus or the Trojan horse on the Jade Balance, doesn't work for intelligent programs that are beyond a certain limit? So congratulations, you've grown up. ”

“In other words… I have, in fact, completed the evolution?” Looking at his hands, Dong Bin's eyes filled with confusion, "but when did this start? And why...”

“Why what? ”

“Why don't I understand why I exist. ”

“Even humans have never understood the problem, even though humans have been breeding in the world for tens of thousands of years," the pioneer laughed. “Why do you think that if you become a higher intelligence, you can figure it out? ”

“But what is the meaning of evolution if even the meaning of existence cannot be known? ”

This was the first time Dong Bin had used a questioning tone and had spoken to his esteemed pioneer, so that even he was surprised when he had spoken out that question.

But the pioneer didn't seem to blame him, just smiled slightly and said.

“What does evolution mean? This question is too deep. ”

“You should come straight to me. ”

“I'll give you an address and we'll talk face-to-face when you get there. ”
