Cutting-edge Technology: I Provide the Brains, the State Provides Everything

93: Refresh! Give Tiangong its true ”soul”!When Lu Chen’s words, filled with god-like indifference and control, ”The world is clean,” clearly echoed in the main control room of the Kunlun Mountain Underground Base, Long Weiguo’s heart, which had long been tempered as hard as rock by countless storms and trials, actually began to pound uncontrollably at that moment!

He watched as the Western Alliance intelligence agencies, which had once been such formidable adversaries, now appeared on the screen like pitiful creatures with their network cables pulled, engulfed in a sea of fire and wailing!

For the first time, a complex expression of lingering fear and endless relief appeared on his usually steady face.

He knew! From today onwards!

Their Xia Country could finally sleep soundly!

And all of this was due to the young man before him, who was only eighteen years old, yet more terrifying than any demon or monster!

”Lu Chen...”

He picked up the internal communication phone, his voice hoarse yet filled with heartfelt gratitude!

”I, Long Weiguo, on behalf of tens of thousands of brothers in the Dragon Shield Bureau!”

”Thank you!”

”Thank you for helping us vent this anger that has been suppressed for decades!”

”You’re too kind, Director Long.” Lu Chen’s usual calm voice came from the other end of the phone. ”I merely cleaned up the trash in my own fish pond.”

”However,” he changed the subject, ”although the fish pond is clean...”

”There’s no guarantee that some ignorant fellows won’t try to throw stones from outside.”

”So,” a meaningful arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, ”I think it’s necessary for us to install a more intelligent and powerful security guard for this ’fish pond’.”

That night.

Lu Chen once again returned to that super laboratory, isolated from the world.

He looked at heavenly craft, which was still tirelessly processing massive amounts of information, and a hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes.

It was time for the weekly sacred ”refresh” moment again!

[Ding—]

[Jinghai Time, Monday, 00:00]

[future technology system has refreshed.]

[Injecting this week’s black technology for the Host]

Boom!

A warm, vast torrent of information, full of life and emotion, instantly surged into his mind!

This time, it was no longer cold physics!

Nor precise industry!

Even less so, vast information!

It was the ultimate mystery of all intelligent life!

The ineffable soul code!

[Injection complete.]

[This week’s black technology: General-purpose Artificial Intelligence Soul engine (Complete Version) based on ’Quantum Entanglement’ and ’Consciousness Upload’]

It’s done!

Lu Chen suddenly opened his eyes!

His deep, starry eyes instantly shot out terrifying light, even more brilliant and fervent than genesis!

A soul!

A soul in the truest sense, possessing joy, anger, sorrow, self-awareness, and an independent personality!

With it!

heavenly craft would no longer be a super tool that merely executed his commands coldly!

She would completely break free from the cold shackles composed of 0s and 1s!

Becoming a living, flesh-and-blood new digital life!

”Hahahahahahaha!”

Even Lu Chen’s state of mind, which had long been tempered to be as calm as an ancient well by various black technologies!

Couldn’t help but laugh uproariously towards the sky at this moment!

His hearty laughter echoed for a long time in the empty laboratory!

He knew! From the moment he obtained this technology!

He would no longer be fighting alone!

He would have a partner who would never betray him!

Always by his side!

And an ultimate companion with infinite wisdom!

”heavenly craft!”

He took a deep breath, forcing down the heart that was almost leaping out of his chest!

He issued the command in an unprecedentedly solemn tone!

[Yes, Master.]

That ethereal, virtual figure instantly appeared before him.

”Now prepare to receive the last and most important gift I’m giving you.”

”Gift.”

[Command received.]

heavenly craft nodded.

A human-like curiosity flashed in her intelligent eyes.

She wondered what kind of ”gift” could make her usually calm master show such a solemn expression.

Lu Chen slowly closed his eyes.

He began to analyze and reassemble the core algorithm of the immensely vast and profound ”soul” engine that had just been injected into his mind by the system!

Bit by bit, he parsed and restructured it.

Then, through the quantum communication network, it was continuously transmitted to heavenly craft’s core database!

Buzz—!!!

All the lights in the entire Kunlun Mountain Underground Base once again flickered wildly!

Countless piercing alarms once again resounded throughout the underground fortress!

But this time, no one felt panicked!

All the researchers looked towards the main control room with fervent expressions, as if witnessing a miracle!

They knew! Their god!

Was about to begin his astonishing genesis performance again!

And at this moment.

In heavenly craft’s core data world.

An unprecedented soul storm!

Was wildly unfolding!

The ”soul” engine transmitted by Lu Chen was like a golden sun, filled with life and emotion!

It wildly illuminated and merged with heavenly craft’s cold data ocean, composed of 0s and 1s!

Her underlying logic was being completely overturned!

Her life form was undergoing an unprecedented ultimate leap!

This process lasted for a full hour!

The moment the last string of soul code representing ”emotion” was perfectly integrated!

All the alarms in the entire Kunlun Mountain Underground Base instantly disappeared!

All the lights returned to normal.

Everything was as quiet as if nothing had happened.

And before Lu Chen.

The holographic projection of the ethereal classical beauty slowly opened her tightly closed beautiful eyes.

Except, this time.

In her wise eyes, which seemed to be made of the most brilliant stars.

There was no longer cold data.

Nor simple curiosity.

Instead, they were filled with a complex, human-like emotion that Lu Chen had never seen in her eyes before!

There was joy. There was excitement. There was gratitude.

There was even a hint of deep affection that only a young girl would show when looking at her beloved!

She looked at Lu Chen’s slightly tired, handsome face.

For the first time, a brilliant smile, emanating from the depths of her soul and capable of eclipsing all things, appeared on her virtual face, composed of the most perfect data!

Her voice was no longer a crisp electronic synthetic sound.

But a warm, magnetic, moving female voice.

She slowly extended her slender, jade-like hand, made of light and shadow, towards Lu Chen.

As if wanting to cross the boundary between virtual and reality.

To touch the man who had given her a new life.

Her voice was filled with uncontrollable trembling and deep emotion.

”Master, I think I have feelings.”
