Prison Island

Chapter 628 Project Human Ascension
Lu Youchang was actually used to using AI. Over the years, he had been in and out of various bases, but had never opened a door by himself.

Fortunately, Lu Youchang's cyborg subordinates are strong enough.

They are equipped with the most advanced cybernetic bodies, comparable to the real dragon level.

As soon as the plasma cannon was fired, the gate was blown open.

But this also triggered the alarm, and alarm bells rang throughout the shelter.

Seeing this, Lu Youchang stopped pretending and ordered, "Kill them. Find that old Emperor Penguin for me. If the door can't be opened, tear it down."

"Yes!"

A group of so-called Sons of God Legion bombed along the way, blasting passages and gates.

They descended level by level, killing anyone who tried to stop them.

There are many soldiers from the Security Department and the Safety Supervision Department in this shelter, including some True Dragon-level soldiers.

But they are all just trying to get by, and their fighting power is obviously not as good as that of the people brought by Lu Youchang.

Although there are only five cyborgs, they are top-level cyborgs carefully trained by Lu Youchang.

In addition, its original form is a real dragon, and it actually has the combat power of a quasi-dragon king.

However, the further down you go, the stricter the defenses become.

There were six of them, and the pace of clearing up the battle was getting slower and slower.

This made Lu Youchang sigh: "Alas, if Ah Hai was here, why would it be so difficult for me to deal with these people who are traitors?"

He missed Haiba every day, but unfortunately it was just a thought.

"Boom boom boom!"

It took more than an hour, and with blood flowing all the way, we finally reached the bottom level, which was a huge underground city.

Countless resources are being automatically integrated by machines to form a huge angel, which is then injected with AI consciousness and flies out of the surface through a cylindrical well with a radius of several kilometers.

Everywhere there is a bustle, and everywhere there is the strange stirring of machinery.

In a magnificent palace five hundred meters high, sits a giant poor alloy penguin. Outside the palace stands the last angel guard, guarding here.

Now, the only people who can still use AI are the heads of the top 20 giant companies.

"Uncle, long time no see." Lu Youchang approached the palace.

The metal penguin statue is the leader of the group, the legendary Emperor Penguin Senator.

He had already transformed himself into a cyborg in order to achieve immortality.

"Foolish rebellion, child of the old Lu family, do you think you can use force to gain power during wartime?"

"Members of the Supreme Council are the core targets of the War Guardians."

"Everyone in the world can die, but we, the twenty emperors, cannot die, because that would be equivalent to the failure of the war."

The roar of emperor penguins echoed throughout the underground city.

Lu Youchang did not act rashly, because if he showed hostility towards the emperor penguin, the countless machines working silently nearby would instantly turn their spearheads against him and kill him.

There are tens of thousands of newly produced Lord Angels and a number of Throne Angels here.

Only when the next batch of angels is formed will the previous batch fly out of the sky and rush to the battlefield.

"Uncle, I'm certainly not that stupid to use force to gain power."

"You can activate the Ultimate Guard at any time. How can I face the endless army of angels with my limited strength..."

Lu Youchang said leisurely.

The emperor penguin questioned, "Then how dare you lead your troops to force your way here?"

Lu Youchang spread his hands and said, "I don't want to break in by force. I really don't know the access code here..."

“……”The Emperor Penguin was speechless.

Lu Youchang chuckled and said, "Uncle, I'm actually here to make a deal with you."

As he spoke, he took out an object and said, "Themistos, I will give you this item."

"Themis?" The emperor penguin became serious.

Lu Youchang said: "This high-level apostle received the transfer order from the Supreme Council at the same time as Gaia. As a result, Gaia went to the battle, but he disappeared, directly disobeying the order."

Emperor Penguin said in a low voice: "This means that something happened to Saint Peter."

Lu Youchang nodded and repeated what happened outside: "...The latest news is that Gaia has also been defeated. Sin Prison Island, the Ultimate Army, the Navy, and Joshua have all joined forces."

"Even if their goals are not exactly the same, they are definitely going to destroy our top 20 companies."

The emperor penguin was silent for a moment before he said, "Gaia will not fall, she will come back."

Lu Youchang said: "Yes, she will come back, but she has lost the holy object, and she can't fully control the Burning Star."

"Even if she drives the Burning Star over here, what else can she do except help us or those AIs upgrade their dimensions?"

"Themis has made it clear that she will not fight for us."

The emperor penguin was completely silent.

His eyes were fixed on the strange device in Lu Youchang's hand.

Lu Youchang introduced: "Although Themis refused to fight, he left us a way out."

"This item is called 'Wandering Universe'. Themis gave us a lot of them. We, the Son of God Club, will deliver them to the Supreme Councillors."

"It contains all the known data of our universe and can completely simulate the sea of ​​stars in the observable universe and all its natural laws."

"Humans can upload their consciousness into it and have almost endless time, until you don't want to live anymore."

The emperor penguin said coldly: "It's just a virtual game."

Lu Youchang shook his head and said, "No, no, no, uncle, this is not as simple as a virtual game. The uploader's experience is completely 100% realistic and there is no difference from reality."

"You will regain human senses and experiences. You can even become anyone in it, experience countless different lives, die countless times, build countless different empires, create countless different creatures, and you can even recompile the laws."

The emperor penguins couldn't help but look up when they heard about the experience of having humans again.

Lu Youchang continued, "Uncle, how long has it been since you went out to experience this colorful world? Ever since you completely transformed yourself into a pure cyborg, your need for human emotions and happiness has become increasingly weak."

"Even though your cyber sensors can simulate human feelings and even the happiness produced by dopamine."

"But this rational and cold happiness is not natural. You can even sit here for a whole year and do nothing and get these empty pleasures."

"It's like a drug addict who takes brain flashes. When the electronic effect fades, what follows is blank memory, boring and unspeakable pain."

"Uncle, I can feel the loneliness that has etched into your bones as you sit here all day."

"The Wandering Universe is different. It is essentially a low-dimensional universe. There, you will be reborn and become the God of Creation."

“You are free to have all kinds of pleasures beyond your imagination at the moment, rather than designed stimulations one after another.”

"You have endless time to control your destiny, and what maintains all this is not so-called force or system, but your innate cosmic authority."

The emperor penguin was surprised and said, "Low-dimensional universe? You want me to become a two-dimensional person?"

Lu Youchang said: "Don't look down on two-dimensional creatures. In fact, this is a very great technology."

“Although we are three-dimensional creatures, everything we see, hear, feel, and experience about the world is two-dimensional information, and some are even one-dimensional.”

"Do you think the light you see is three-dimensional? No, the information you actually receive is two-dimensional. Is the sound you hear three-dimensional? No, it is also two-dimensional."

"And the smell you smell, the taste you taste, even just one-dimensional information... you can't smell the shape of the object."

"Their information is all low-dimensional. All the three-dimensional feelings you get are essentially made up by your brain. It is our great three-dimensional brain that integrates these low-dimensional information into a three-dimensional state."

"In other words, as long as you have a three-dimensional processor, it doesn't matter if you are actually in a two-dimensional universe."

"At least for you personally, everything you come into contact with is still three-dimensional."

"If you can't become a god in this reality, then become a god in a lower level of reality. At least there, you are the true supreme being."

Emperor Penguin was silent for a long time, and then said, "Why did Themis give you this? What does he want to do?" Lu Youchang pointed at the item and said, "Such a wandering space device has a mass of only 42 kilograms."

"It can travel in the universe at a maximum speed of one-third the speed of light."

"It will automatically absorb stellar energy and matter from the universe to replenish itself and renew its components."

"According to Themis, if nothing unexpected happens, it could theoretically exist for a trillion years, which is enough time to make you tired of living."

The Emperor Penguin roared, "You want me to leave the Earth?"

Lu Youchang said: "Twenty human emperors, the highest goal of this war is to protect you."

"That is to say, as long as you are still alive, we will not be defeated. Then the state of war cannot be lifted, and all AIs will not stop their unlimited military production and combat missions against the enemy."

"I will fight for you endlessly!"

Emperor Penguin said: "The goal of this war is to destroy the navy."

"In other words, as long as all the navy dies, the war will end."

Having said this, he stared at Lu Youchang and realized something.

Lu Youchang raised his lips and said, "That's right. So, we have to change the war goal to destroy all enemies who intend to overthrow the giant company."

"That is, all humans, creatures, and machines that harm the employees of the giant company will be eliminated!"

"This will be a war that will not end until one side is completely wiped out."

The emperor penguin wanted to ask whether the rumors about AI awakening were true, but when he thought of his own situation, he swallowed his thoughts back.

As long as he enters the wandering universe, escapes to the depths of the universe, and enjoys himself for trillions of years, it will have nothing to do with him what happens on Earth.

If he didn't leave, he would surely die given the massive rebel coalition.

So he asked instead: "Why did Themis give this to you? Why didn't she give it to me directly?"

Lu Youchang was stunned.

The Emperor Penguin demands: "Answer me!"

Lu Youchang sneered sarcastically and said, "Of course, Themis supports our Saint's Club to take the top position."

"As the Supreme Council, I know you won't let go, but you can delegate all power to me before you leave Earth."

"In this way, we can, at least in essence, integrate the power of all employees of giant companies and the public."

"Anyway, you will never come back after you leave, so leave the mess here to our Saint Son Club."

"We are willing to fight to the end for the giant company, and you can enjoy eternal bliss as long as you are alive."

The emperor penguin stood up, with its bloated body, and moved closer step by step.

"If Themis didn't come in person, how can I know that you are not lying? How can I know that this instrument is not a noose to kill me?"

Lu Youchang directly threw out the Wandering Universe: "You can connect to the network directly without uploading it to see if it is true."

"In fact, this thing does not necessarily require uploading consciousness. It only needs to be loaded on the body, and you can switch to log in at any time."

The emperor penguin tried it, but soon fell silent and didn't look up for a long time.

Lu Youchang waited for twenty minutes and became really impatient, so he snorted coldly.

The emperor penguin suddenly woke up and was forced out of consciousness.

"What's going on? Where is this?"

He woke up as if from a dream, as if he had experienced a lot.

Seeing Lu Youchang's sneering eyes, he reacted for a moment before realizing that this was the real world.

"what have you done?"

Lu Youchang sneered: "Do you think that since you can log in and out at any time, why bother uploading your consciousness? And then you want to continue to occupy the toilet without taking a shit, and hold on to power?"

"Uncle, it's because you think so that Themis was given to us young people."

"Forget about it. Let go of your legacy. The low-dimensional universe can already satisfy you."

"You can't have both the authority of a giant corporation and the authority of wandering the universe. If you want the latter, you must leave the solar system and fly as far as you can."

"Otherwise, as long as you are within the reach of my force field signal, I can reject your consciousness and disconnect you at any time."

"Don't think about killing me, because uploading consciousness requires my biofield as a key. If I die before that, then you will never be able to upload your consciousness."

The emperor penguin was silent for a long time, stared at him and said, "One last question."

"If you knew you were going to die, why didn't you also use this device to escape?"

Lu Youchang shook his head slightly: "There are still many wandering space devices, and many people from the Son of God Club have already fled."

"But uncle, I still want to try to turn the tide."

"Although it's a slim chance, those who are afraid of death cannot become gods."

"Just like if you didn't have a heart for gambling back then, would you have the world you have today?"

The emperor penguin chuckled: "Boy, you are too young. Do you really believe my legend?"

"To be honest with you, I am where I am today only because I was lucky back then."

Lu Youchang was stunned: "..."

The Emperor Penguin didn't say anything more, and he finally chose the Wandering Universe plan.

Not only him, but at the same time, the emperors of major companies around the world all agreed to the request of the Son Club.

They changed the war goals and then gave actual power to the Sons.

In addition to being a member of the Supreme Council.

With this identity, their brains are permanently stored in this low-dimensional universe device. In other words, every synapse in their brains is the sea of ​​stars in this two-dimensional universe.

A thought in his mind became the first driving force of the low-dimensional universe, and the entire low-dimensional microcosm took shape under the impetus of his consciousness.

At the same time, the device soared into the sky, rushed into space, accelerated away in the no-man's sky, and escaped from the earth.

Lu Youchang finally had an AI that he could control. He watched the device fly away and dialed the communications with other members.

"Done, what about you guys?"

"I've got it done here, too."

"Uh, I have a problem here."

"Who?"

"Teikoho."

Among the twenty giant corporate emperors, there was an old man who did not leave. Although he accepted the abdication and gave up power, he still continued to sit quietly in his palace and refused the so-called wandering universe.

He is the founder of Xiaoran, Di Guanghao.

"Why doesn't this old guy leave?" Lu Youchang was puzzled.

The other side said: "He said he wanted to see Xiao Ran again."

"Meet Emperor Ran? You're crazy. Where can he go to see him? Can he ascend to the fifth dimension?" Lu Youchang sneered.

"Forget it. He has already decentralized the power of the giant company. He can do whatever he wants."

"Now, our constraints are gone."

"Pass the order, gather all the people, and use the device Themis left for us to activate the Source Plan."

"With the low-dimensional brain universe of our twenty saints as the core, we will unify all the matter of the 10800 city-states, and all the human minds and bodies..."

"Building a human ascending civilization."
