Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

The moment that line of text was printed on the screen, a pistol appeared in Shi Jin’s hands.

“Don’t move, I know you are strong.”

He warned Ling, who was standing nearby. Shi Jin’s muzzle was pointed directly at Lu Zhou. Without concealing the threat in his tone, he continued, “But I don’t believe that your speed is faster than an electromagnetic bullet.”

Academician Wang Sicheng looked at Shi Jin standing next to Lu Zhou in disbelief. He widened his eyes and said angrily, “Are you crazy? Do you know what you are doing?”

Shi Jin didn’t speak. His eyes were fixed on Lu Zhou.

As if he hadn’t seen the pistol in Shi Jin’s hand, Lu Zhou, who was pointed at by the gun, just raised his eyebrows slightly and said in a slightly unexpected tone, “Although I thought about this possibility before, I didn’t expect you to infiltrate the Security Bureau… I’m curious, how did you escape so many inspections? It’s impossible to get access to so many secrets with just one certificate.”

Matrix typed on the screen.

“Oh? It seems that the development of things is getting more and more interesting.”

Without answering Lu Zhou’s question, Shi Jin just glanced at Academician Wang Sicheng, who was standing beside him blankly, and commanded in a cold tone, “Open the signal tower.”

Academician Wang Sicheng opened his mouth and tried to persuade him to turn around, but before he could speak, Lu Zhou, who was pointed at by the gun, interrupted, “What if I say no?”

It seemed that he did not expect that Lu Zhou could still make such a statement without the fear of death. Shi Jin was slightly stunned, but he quickly put on a blank face.

“Do you think I’m joking?”

“No.” Lu Zhou smiled faintly. “It’s just that I don’t believe that the toy in your hand can hurt me.”

Looking at Shi Jin with his gun, Lu Zhou made a helpless expression and continued, “Don’t believe me? You’ll know by shooting.”

The muzzle moved down two inches and aimed at Lu Zhou’s knee. Shi Jin pulled the trigger without hesitation.

The buzzing of the electric bullet could be heard first, then the light blue arc flickered for an instant, pushing the electromagnetic bullet from the barrel. The speed was so fast that it was too late to close their eyes.

However…

An amazing scene happened.

The projectile didn’t hit Lu Zhou. It seemed to hit a transparent wall, drawing an arc-shaped trajectory in front of Lu Zhou before hitting the ground fiercely.

The whole basement was silent.

Shi Jin had a look of amazement on his face. Lu Zhou slightly relaxed his tight shoulders and smiled.

“Do you think I survived flight N-177 with the help of robotic bodyguards?”

No doubt the robots were 80% of the reason.

But besides that, Lu Zhou felt that a lot of the reasons were also related to his ability to respond to changes.

The last time he won the nitrogen shield, it took more than a hundred years for him to use it. He didn’t expect to use the nitrogen shield again so soon.

After staring at Lu Zhou for a while, Shi Jin calmed down. His face gradually started to show some seriousness.

“It seems that I underestimated you.”

Lu Zhou looked at Ling, who was standing next to him, and said, “Ling, take off his arms and legs.”

“Yes, Commander.”

Ling had already taken action.

Seeing Ling rushing towards him at an incredible speed, Shi Jin quickly took out a switch that looked like a detonator, took off the safety cover with his thumb, and quickly pressed it down.

Instantly, a dazzling and deadly white light flickered on Ling’s neck. The metal collar instantly exploded.

However, Shi Jin was once again disappointed.

The expected scene did not happen.

Although the flame of the explosion engulfed Ling’s head, it didn’t blow it out; only the skin outside the armor was damaged.

When Shi Jin saw the red glow from the armored head, he was shocked. He raised his gun and shot out a burst of bullets. However, the bullets couldn’t penetrate the exoskeleton armor, as if it were a titanium alloy wall. It only managed to let out a series of weak sparks.

In the face of advanced technology, everything was useless.

In an instant, Ling had rushed in front of him. He raised his right hand, which had become a sharp blade at some point, and cut off Shi Jin’s two arms.

Lu Zhou didn’t expect this to happen.

The two severed arms flew on the ground. The blood also sprayed around the surroundings. Out of pain, Shi Jin couldn’t help but let out a miserable cry.

“Ah!!”

Lu Zhou originally thought that since he was a robot, there was no need to keep his hands. He didn’t expect such a bloody scene to appear.

Looking at the shocking wound, Lu Zhou gulped. He looked at him with surprise on his face.

“You are a human?”

“It depends on how you define humans.”

With cold sweat on his forehead, Shi Jin staggered back two steps and leaned against the wall.

The blood continued to emerge from his shoulders, quickly staining the cold metal wall, but his face still had an unyielding expression. A sneer even appeared on his face.

“Do it, I won’t say anything.”

Staring at Shi Jin for a while, Lu Zhou pondered for a moment. A trace of clarity gradually emerged in his eyes.

“I see…

“You have implanted nanochips in the cerebral cortex to achieve complete control of the flesh and blood by hijacking the brain nerve signals, just like a brain parasite… To be honest, your technology is beyond my expectation. I even began to wonder if there are aliens supporting you.”

Not all robots had memory chips in their chests.

Not all robots existed in the form of machines.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhou shuddered. If this was the case, it would be almost impossible to screen out robots from normal people, especially in this age where implants were rampant and could be comparable to medical surgery in the 21st century.

That kind of security scan was impossible…

He only hoped that there were not too many special models like Shi Jin.

“Oh, your imagination is so rich…”

It was not clear which part of Lu Zhou’s words was full of imagination, as the blood loss finally exceeded the limit needed to maintain life. Shi Jin’s pupils dimmed, and his whole person stopped moving.

Looking at the corpse leaning at the door, Academician Wang Sicheng, who had never seen such a battle before, gulped and asked with a trembling voice, “You… killed him?”

Lu Zhou asked back, “Did you see me killing anyone?”

Wang Sicheng was stunned for a while. An awkward expression then appeared on his face.

I guess…

Not.

Even if that guy could be called a human, he was killed by the robot bodyguard.

Matrix, who had been watching all of this unfold, suddenly spoke with interest.

“The relationship between humans is really weird. One second, you guys were friends, and the next, enemies.”

Lu Zhou: “Not quite enemies.”

“But you killed him.”

Lu Zhou: “He died a long time ago. A chip that was implanted in his brain was occupying his body. Rather than saying that I ended his life, I would prefer to call it as ending his pain.”

“In fact, I have always wanted to ask, is there any difference?” Matrix said thoughtfully, “Whether it is made of neurons or carbon nanotubes, they are only carriers of information. And the same piece of information will be the same, regardless of carriers.”

Looking at the terminal screen, Lu Zhou said calmly, “I don’t know if it will be the same, but I don’t think anyone is better than the rest.”

Matrix: “Even if the latter has an infinite lifespan?”

Lu Zhou nodded gently.

“I only realized this in the last two months.

“Eternal life may not be a good thing, both for the civilization and for the individuals in the civilization.”

Matrix: “Interesting, you are the first person to say that.”

Lu Zhou: “Really?”

“Well, when that person met me, their desire was nothing more than eternal life and an omnipotent body. In fact, this was easy to satisfy, even though it was a little boring.”

Lu Zhou did not speak. He looked at Matrix quietly.

Matrix: “So, what do you plan to do with me?”

Lu Zhou: “Containment and observation.”

Matrix: “That’s probably not easy. To be honest, I don’t know if you have realized it. Your current situation may be a bit awkward. (laughs)”

Lu Zhou nodded.

“I know.”

“Um… Let’s notify the soldiers stationed here. After all, there has been such a big safety accident.” Academician Wang Sicheng took a lingering look at the corpse on the ground and said with difficulty, “As for Matrix… We can research it later.”

He didn’t understand why Lu Zhou was not scared at all. He really couldn’t stand to see the bloody scene.

Moreover, there was a traitor in the Security Bureau, or a robot traitor. This was a major matter, and he should report it to the relevant department as soon as he could, instead of wasting time here with an AI that couldn’t go anywhere.

Lu Zhou: “It’s better not to leave now.”

Academician Wang Sicheng looked at him blankly and asked, “Why?”

Lu Zhou pointed at the corpse lying at the door with his chin and said, “After seeing what happened with this guy, do you think it is safe to leave?”

After hearing these words, Academician Wang’s expression instantly changed.

“You mean…”

“It’s just a logical guess.” Lu Zhou glanced at the closed basement door, then at Shi Jin, who was leaning against the door. After a while, Lu Zhou muttered, “If even the Security Bureau has been infiltrated, there’s no way they didn’t infiltrate the military.

“If my guess is correct, there should be a fight going on outside.”
