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

186: Deciphering the stone tablets reveals the prehistory of human civilization!When the massive, sci-fi and futuristic silhouette of the expedition interstellar exploration spacecraft slowly descended like a god onto the plaza in front of the Pangu Technology headquarters building, the entire world erupted.

”No way to start?”

Lu Chen smiled when he heard the conclusion, filled with shame and helplessness, from the national treasure-level archaeological elder.

He walked slowly to the mysterious black stele, a strange light, unnoticeable even to himself, flashed in his dark eyes, as vast as the universe.

He didn’t reach out to touch it directly like a brute.

Because he knew that any hasty contact with an unknown relic of a higher civilization could lead to unpredictable disasters.

He just stood there quietly, as if admiring an ancient artifact, but his brain, with its 25% development, was frantically analyzing every detail of the stele.

”heavenly craft.”

He didn’t turn around, just spoke faintly.

[Here, Master.]

An ethereal virtual figure instantly appeared beside him.

”Scan it.”

”Using all our current highest-precision detection methods.”

”I want to know all its secrets.”

[Yes, Master.]

heavenly craft nodded, an unprecedented solemnity flickering in her brilliant, intelligent eyes!

The next second!

An unprecedented, hardcore decryption spanning billions of years of time and space!

Officially began!

In the laboratory, hundreds of ultra-high precision detectors, personally designed by Lu Chen and filled with a sense of future technology!

Suddenly, without warning, lit up with a light blue glow full of exploratory aura!

X-rays!

Gamma rays!

Neutron flux!

Strong magnetic resonance!

All the most cutting-edge detection methods currently mastered by human civilization!

Like an invisible data storm!

Madly swept towards the seemingly unremarkable black stele!

However,

A scene that made all the bigwigs and experts present tremble to their souls occurred!

That black, mysterious stele!

It was like a bottomless black hole!

All the high-energy rays and detection beams directed at it!

Were silently

Swallowed?!

No reflection!

No refraction!

Not even a trace of data feedback!

”How... how is this possible?!”

A young scientist responsible for material analysis screamed as if he had seen a ghost:

”What... what material is it made of?!”

”Why can’t even neutron flux penetrate it?!”

”This completely violates all the laws of physics we know!”

Yes!

Violating laws!

All the scientists present were like a group of pathetic wretches whose worldviews had been shattered!

One by one, their faces were pale!

Their bodies were cold!

They felt that the so-called ”scientific truths” they had painstakingly learned their entire lives!

Were simply a joke in front of this unreasonable black stone!

It was simply a joke!

However,

Just when everyone was at a loss and plunged into despair, Lu Chen’s face showed no ripple.

As if all this was within his expectation.

”heavenly craft.” He said faintly, ”Conventional methods are useless.”

”Activate the pangu virtual world.”

”Input all macroscopic data of this stele.”

”Then—”

A trace of madness flashed in his eyes!

”Use all your computing power!”

”To simulate a ’Big Bang’ model that can give birth to this ’anti-physical’ matter!”

”Big Bang model!”

Boom!!!

This sentence was like a genesis divine oracle capable of splitting the entire history of the universe!

It fiercely struck heavenly craft’s core database!

She was completely petrified!

Simulate

The Big Bang?!

What kind of divine operation is this?!

This is no longer decryption!

This is clearly genesis!

[Ma-Master—] heavenly craft’s magnetic, moving female voice carried a tremor from the depths of her soul, [This engineering task is too, too massive. I might need some time—]

”How long?”

[At least a hundred years.]

”A hundred years?”

Lu Chen smiled.

”Too long.”

”I’ll only give you—”

He held up one finger.

”One day.”

For the first time, heavenly craft’s perfect virtual face showed a humanized expression called ”despair”.

Expression.

”Can’t do it?”

[I can do it!]

heavenly craft gritted her teeth, and in an instant, a god-like cold light burst forth from her brilliant, intelligent eyes!

[Activating, highest authority!]

[Currently commandeering 100% of the computing power of all networked computers and ’Kua Fu’ photon chips worldwide.]

[genesis simulation begins!]

The next second!

The entire Earth, all running computers, phones, servers—

At this very moment!

All went black!

And, the Kunlun Mountain Underground Base.

The massive photon computer cluster, capable of supporting the entire Xia Kingdom’s network operation!

Even let out a terrifying roar of unbearable strain!

Roar!

An unprecedented gamble, staking all of human civilization’s computational resources, the ultimate—

Gamble!

Officially began!

Curtain!

Time passed, minute by minute, second by second.

Twenty-three hours, fifty-nine minutes, fifty-nine seconds—

”Boom—!!!”

A silent but terrifying roar that could make the entire data universe tremble!

Loud noise!

heavenly craft’s super brain, almost burned out, finally found the only correct answer in that endless data chaos!

Found that unique, correct

Answer!

[Reporting, Master.]

heavenly craft’s weary virtual figure slowly appeared before Lu Chen. [De-decryption successful.]

[The main body of that stele]

[Is made of ’degenerate matter’ crafted from the core of a neutron star.]

[And those mysterious symbols on it]

[Are not words.]

[But a ’civilization log’ written in ’gene code’, spanning billions of years!]

Civilization log!]

As soon as her voice fell!

The black stele, which had been lying quietly in the center of the laboratory, unexpectedly lit up with circles of golden halos, filled with mystery and vastness!

And the strange, mysterious, incomprehensible symbols on the stele seemed to come alive! They transformed into golden data torrents, madly surging into his brain!

”Boom!!!”

In an instant!

Lu Chen’s mind felt as if an epic documentary, spanning billions of years and filled with destruction and rebirth, had been forcibly crammed into it!

He saw it!

He saw with his own eyes! Billions of years ago, on Mars, which was then a vibrant blue planet, a terrifying prehistoric civilization, also named ”human,” but a hundred times more technologically advanced than their current one! How it was reduced to dust by a sudden, terrifying gamma-ray burst capable of destroying the entire Solar System!

And at the last moment of their civilization’s destruction! They used their last strength! To seal all the hope and fire of their civilization! Into an indestructible black ”seed” made from the core of a neutron star!

Then they launched it to the closest blue planet, also full of hope and vitality! Awaiting the start of the next cycle!

And that ”seed” was the so-called ”future technology system” in his mind!

”I... I understand—”

Lu Chen slowly opened his eyes, his dark eyes, as vast as the universe, filled with endless complexity and emotion.

He looked at the group of ”new generation” humans before him, their faces full of curiosity and anticipation, and slowly raised the black stele in his hand, which had lost all its light and become unremarkable.

His voice was not loud, but it resonated clearly in everyone’s ears like a fated bell tolling across billions of years of time and space!

”Everyone.”

”I think—”

”I’ve found the ’family tree’ of our human civilization.”
