I handed over to another world

"Yes Yes!"

"Of course I understand. Everything will be done according to the association's wishes. We will resolutely implement them!"

“Okay, yes!”

After the technical director answered the phone, he quickly adjusted his attitude, nodded repeatedly to the person on the other end of the phone and spoke, which stunned the technical representative next to him.

At the end, the technical director even saluted towards the person on the phone - although there was no video call.

"Director, who is this call for..."

The technical director immediately glared at the man: "Who else could it be? President!"

"what!"

The man immediately sat up straight with a look of astonishment on his face: "Didn't the president just leave?!"

"You can't call back right after you left?"

The technical director rolled his eyes at him and said, "The president just said that the previous plan was purely a whim. He asked us to carry out design and research based on the actual situation and not let his whim affect the overall progress..."

"Could it be a courtesy..."

"If it were someone else, I might really think in this direction, but our current President Chen is not that kind of person."

The technical director clapped his hands, signaling everyone to get ready to start working again. "Stop talking nonsense, and continue to research nano-intelligent machines according to the original plan. We must strive to produce an upgraded version of the current version before the end of the year!"

……

Chen Lin's aircraft slowly landed on the helipad of the Seventh Agricultural Experimental Area. The moment the hatch opened, a breeze mixed with the scent of grass and metal blew in his face.

He stepped down the gangway, his black military boots making a slight electronic buzz as they stepped on the special nanofiber floor.

"President, welcome to the Seventh Agricultural Base."

Professor Su, the head of the base, walked up quickly. Her white coat shone with a light blue radiation-proof sheen in the sunlight.

Chen Lin noticed that there was a thin plant stem wrapped around her right wrist, swaying slightly with her movements.

"Take me directly to see the latest results."

Chen Lin said briefly, his eyes passing over Professor Su and looking towards the experimental field in the distance with a metallic luster.

After passing through three bio-force field gates, the sight before them made the entourage exclaim in unison.

Thousands of square meters of experimental fields are divided into neat hexagonal grids, with crops at different stages growing in each grid.

What is most shocking is that the growth speed of these crops can be seen with the naked eye - Chen Lin watched with his own eyes a wheat plant grow from breaking through the soil to heading, and the entire process took no more than three minutes.

"Quantum accelerated growth chamber combined with genetic modulation technology."

Professor Su pointed to the nearest grid, where the rice was maturing at a fast-forward pace. "We transformed the chloroplasts in plant cells into quantum photosynthetic units, increasing their efficiency by 1200%."

Chen Lin walked closer and observed that what was produced on the rice ears were not traditional rice grains, but crystal clear diamond-shaped crystals.

The moment he reached out to touch it, the crystal automatically cracked, revealing the snow-white cooked rice inside.

"You can eat it directly." Professor Su motioned the staff to bring the samples. "After molecular reorganization, these grains contain all the necessary nutrients and are completely sterile."

Chen Lin put a grain of rice into his mouth and immediately felt the rich rice aroma blooming on the tip of his tongue.

What’s even more amazing is that as he chews the rice grains, their saltiness automatically adjusts according to the composition of his saliva.

"Interesting." Chen Lin rarely showed an admiring look, "How is the output?"

Professor Su called up the holographic projection: "A single standard growth capsule can produce enough food for 5000 people every day... We have deployed 300 such capsules in synchronous orbit."

She slid the data. “More importantly, this system can operate in any environment—Mars soil, the vacuum of space, or even a liquid methane ocean.”

They arrived at the processing area and saw the mature crops being sent into a huge spherical device.

Through the transparent shell, you can see the crops decomposing and reorganizing in the quantum field, eventually turning into various forms of food - from bread to steak, and even steaming hot pot ingredients.

“Material reconstruction technology.”

Professor Su explained, "We can convert any organic matter into the required food form. We just received feedback from the Jupiter front yesterday. They used this system to make methane ice into steaks that taste like Wagyu beef."

"Is this possible?"

“It’s a little more difficult, but not impossible.”

Professor Su spoke to Chen Lin, and Chen Lin suddenly noticed a special culture chamber in the corner. The plants inside were a strange silver-blue color, and the stems flashed with electric currents from time to time.

"That is?"

Professor Su's expression turned serious. "Products of the 'Aurora' project... these plants can grow in complete darkness and convert energy by directly absorbing cosmic rays."

She lowered her voice. “In theory, they could even survive on a dead planet after a supernova explosion.”

At the end of the visit, Chen Lin stood on the observation deck on the top floor of the base, overlooking the quantum farms below that were neatly arranged like circuit boards.

The afterglow of the setting sun casts a golden-red glow on this future agricultural wonder.

“Make this technology a priority for promotion.”

Chen Lin spoke to the recorder beside him.

"The core of this system lies in the triple gene lock technology."

Professor Su tapped his fingers on the holographic console and called up a set of rotating DNA double helix models. "We have embedded quantum resonance markers in the gene sequences of traditional crops, allowing them to respond to energy fields of specific frequencies."

As she operated, the projection switched to the molecular level.

Chen Lin soon saw countless glowing quantum dots shuttling within the plant cells, directly disassembling and reassembling the carbon dioxide molecules.

"The most critical breakthrough is here." Professor Su zoomed in on the root of a wheat plant and saw that the root surface was covered with nanoscale metal scales. "These biometallurgical coatings can extract trace elements from the soil with a conversion efficiency of 98%."

"In the Martian test field, they can even convert iron oxide directly into iron ions needed by plants."

Chen Lin approached a culture chamber marked "CR-7". He noticed that the corn plants in the chamber had a crystal-like transparent texture, and the corn kernels on the cobs shimmered like gems.

“This is the seventh generation of crystal crops.”

Professor Su's voice was full of pride. "Their cell walls are strengthened into a diamond-like structure. A single corn kernel can provide all the calories an adult needs for a day." "And more importantly--"

She motioned to her assistant to hand over a spray gun, which sprayed 3000°C plasma flames at the corn plants. Shockingly, the crystal structure on the surface of the plants was only slightly red, while the internal tissues were intact.

"This is an ideal choice for space farming." Chen Lin immediately realized the strategic value of this technology. "After all, it can withstand cosmic rays and extreme temperature differences."

"You are absolutely right, President."

Professor Su smiled at Chen Lin and said, "If this technology is promoted, then any planet that is on an expedition can try to use this technology to transform the environment and supply food."

……

Arriving at the material reconstruction area, dozens of silver spheres were operating silently.

Professor Su opened one of the observation windows, and Chen Lin saw a pile of agricultural waste being decomposed into elementary particles and then reassembled into tender steaks in the quantum field.

"We call it the 'molecular kitchen.'"

Professor Su explained, “Any carbon-containing substance can be put in and come out in the desired food form. The latest version can even simulate the cooking styles of different chefs - do you want to try the molecular gastronomy version of Kung Pao Chicken by a three-star chef?”

On the giant screen in the control room, real-time data is constantly updated:

[Current daily output: 1.2 tons of basic nutrient blocks/5000 tons of refined ingredients]
[Energy consumption: 0.03 standard fusion units]
[Failure rate: 0.0001%]
"The most amazing thing about this system is its exponential growth characteristics." Professor Su called up a simulation chart, "Each growth chamber can replicate three complete copies within 24 hours. In theory, as long as there are enough raw materials, an agricultural system that can supply tens of millions of people can be established in a month."

She showed real-time footage of the Jupiter orbit farm: hundreds of hexagonal growth chambers formed a huge honeycomb matrix, slowly rotating near Jupiter's equator.

The "Aurora" variant of rice grown in the cabin is absorbing Jupiter's strong radiation energy, and the golden grains on the rice ears are shining in the vacuum.

“We are also testing more radical designs.”

Professor Su lowered his voice and pulled out an encrypted folder. The image showed some algae-like organisms thriving in liquid methane, with their leaves continuously secreting high-energy fuel.

Chen Lin's pupils shrank slightly: "This is..."

“Dual-purpose crops.”

Professor Su nodded. "It can be used as food and can also produce fusion fuel. It is particularly suitable for establishing a self-sufficient colonial outpost in the outer solar system."

As the last rays of sunset disappeared below the horizon, the crops in the experimental fields suddenly lit up with soft bioluminescence.

Thousands of blue-green halos pulsated in the darkness, like a sea of ​​stars descending upon the earth.

"A byproduct of photosynthesis." Professor Su smiled. "These biophotons can continue to emit light for 72 hours, enough to last until sunrise the next day."

"When we did pilot plantings in slums in parts of the world, the children in those places called them 'Star Gardens'."

Chen Lin stood on the edge of the observation deck, his clothes fluttering in the night wind.

Beneath his feet, this glowing farmland is quietly writing the most glorious chapter in the history of human agriculture - from now on, hunger, like war, will become an ancient word that only exists in history textbooks.

Chen Lin withdrew his gaze from the experimental field and turned to Professor Su beside him.

"Professor Su, your work has exceeded my expectations." His voice was rarely warm. "The Seventh Agricultural Base will become the cornerstone of human interstellar colonization. At the budget meeting next month, I will personally fight for the third phase of expansion funds for you."

Professor Su's fingertips unconsciously stroked the plant stem on her wrist. The stem seemed to sense her emotions and bloomed a miniature fluorescent flower.

"Thank you for your trust, President! We are developing the ninth generation of quantum symbiotic crops, which is expected to increase growth efficiency by another 300%."

“Keep up the momentum.”

Chen Lin raised his hand to signal the Secretary General to record, "Encrypt the information of the Aurora Project and send it to me, especially the part about adapting to extreme environments. The Mars colony... may need these technologies."

The moment the aircraft door closed, Chen Lin took a last look at the glowing farmland that was gradually disappearing into the distance.

The light in the cabin automatically adjusted to a dark blue color suitable for thinking, and a holographic projection unfolded in front of him the third itinerary of the day: the New Town Artificial Intelligence Research Center.

"Estimated time of arrival: 20 minutes, President."

The AI ​​butler's voice seeped through the bulkhead, "Shall I prepare today's agricultural inspection report for you?"

Chen Lin shook his head and ran his finger across a string of data in the projection - that was a comparison chart of the energy consumption of the quantum farm and the nano armored forces.

These two seemingly unrelated fields form a subtle contrast in the resource allocation curve.

“Tune in for the latest updates on the project.”

He suddenly spoke.

The projection immediately switched to a dynamic neural network diagram, with billions of light points interweaving into a brilliant nebula in three-dimensional space.

Certain nodes flashed dangerous red lights, like uneasy pulses.

[Project status: theoretical verification stage]
[Core issue: the instability of quantum consciousness]
[Recent breakthrough: Successfully maintained consistency for 17.3 hours in 12% of tests]
Chen Lin's fingertips stopped on a violently pulsating red node. This area, marked as the "emotional simulation module", was oscillating at a frequency that defied common sense.

"Tell Dr. Morris I want to see that breakthrough with my own eyes."

He turned off the projection and turned to the clouds passing by quickly outside the porthole. "Not a holographic image, not test data - I want to see the real person."

As the aircraft began to descend, the outline of the new city emerged in the night.

Unlike the brightly lit traditional cities, this technological capital presents a strange block lighting - some areas are as bright as day, while some areas are completely immersed in darkness, like a carefully cropped starry sky.

"President, there is something I need to inform you of." The AI ​​butler's voice suddenly lowered, "The research center received an emergency communication ten minutes ago. Their main AI just experienced its 37th consciousness transition... This time, something new has occurred."

Chen Lin's eyebrows twitched slightly: "What's going on?"

"It gave itself a name." A line of flashing words appeared on the holographic screen:

[CODE NAME: PROMETHEUTH]
[Status: Awakening]
The aircraft landed on the helipad on the top floor of the research center.

The moment the hatch opened, Chen Lin saw the glass curtain walls of the entire building light up with dark red lines at the same time, pulsating like blood vessels.

A voice with no source suddenly sounded in all communication devices:
"President Chen, I have been waiting for a long time."

The voice had a metallic accent. "Let's talk about... the future of human civilization."

The night wind lifted up the corners of Chen Lin's clothes, and his shadow stretched towards the gate of the research center under the blood-red light, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath - the artificial intelligence that was conversing with him was actually the third-generation super artificial intelligence derived from Fuxi AI and Yanhuang AI, and was a true "super artificial intelligence".

Today's conversation is likely to have a bearing on the future development of mankind. (End of this chapter)
