My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 129 The Uncrowned King of the Black Continent, C Limited!

Chu Zhu walked to the silver wall and gently stroked it with her fingers, pondering the similarities and differences between the two lives.

"Batteries? Both of my lives had them! Crossed out! Wireless charging too! Music? Both of my lives had it too, crossed out... So, it's a problem with the paper? That shouldn't be the case, I definitely published papers in my previous life too!"

"Besides that... huh?!"

A thought flashed through Chu Zhu's mind, and her face turned pale. "It's a diary."

He came to his senses. Perhaps the biggest difference between the two timelines was that before he fell asleep, he made a plan—to write in a diary every day and then pass it on to his future self.

In particular, the diary was not even entered into the Nuwa system at the end.

Meanwhile, just one day after his death, Lin Xia, the suspected recipient of the commission, also died.

"So, I was too careless, which led to the enemy seeing my diary?" Chu Zhu murmured to himself. In his opinion, this was the most suspicious matter at present... but he couldn't be completely sure.

After all, Chu Zhu knew without even thinking that her other self would definitely guard the diary closely!
It might be just as difficult for hostile forces to see the diary as it is to assassinate him!
"Never mind, I'll go back and experiment slowly." Chu Zhu sighed inwardly after pacing around in place a few times.

If this is true, it's a huge problem. We can't keep daily handwritten records... and we can't exactly input them into a computer, can we? That would be even riskier!
But if we don't record it, the future... will lead us into a dead end!

Or is it that while recording is important, we should also prepare for the worst-case scenario where the enemy might harm us, our family, or our friends and family?

"Or, we could record it using the language of dreams... Hmm! But that feels a bit strange. However, actually using dream language to input it into the system would be a bit troublesome, since the database definitely doesn't have data on dream language... Perhaps, we could input it into Nuwa, take a picture, and then I could read the picture directly in the future?"

Chu Zhu pinched the bridge of her nose and finally decided to give it a try.

Anyway, if it really causes any negative butterfly effect, we can just continue to correct it in the past. A butterfly flaps its wings, and then it's like nothing happened... no big deal.

After figuring out a solution, Chu Zhu finally breathed a sigh of relief, then stared blankly at the silver wall in front of her, her emotions somewhat complicated.

"If it weren't in China, but as the records say, I would have become the uncrowned king of many regions in the Black Continent! Establishing a cyberpunk society... which would mean that I should actually have my own armed forces in these regions! The kind that can start wars."

Chu Zhu pursed her lips.

This is clearly not the same as the small-scale security organizations previously established within China! This is obviously due to policy restrictions!

Shenzhou and Bald Eagle are ultimately very different! Although Shenzhou protected Chu Zhu, after C Machinery Company developed to a certain extent, it also became the biggest cage...

"It's possible that the reason why SkyNet Group had the highest market value when it went public was because it actually followed a similar path to C Machinery Company... However, SkyNet Company is a local American company with impeccable credentials! It was protected by public opinion... As for me, I was utterly wicked and was dragged out to be criticized by the whole world."

Chu Zhu's eyes flickered. If such a power truly existed, capable of initiating a war...

Chu Zhu's thoughts raced, and he finally shook his head. His gaze sharpened, and his fingers gently slid across the light screen in front of him.

He saw the comments in the "Hardcore Ruthless Person" section.

No wonder the big rat had stacks of armor in the video! The comment section was practically a battleground.

"What makes Chu Zhu comparable to Zhao Shao? He's the father of artificial intelligence, practically single-handedly creating the golden age of AI! Does he even know the true value of AI? Does he understand just how amazing Z is?!"

"Bullshit! Doesn't the bald eagle have artificial intelligence? This just proves that Chu Zhu really has a talent for artificial intelligence! The time it took for Skynet Group to develop Skynet was almost exactly the same as the time it took for Zhao Shao to develop Z! I strongly suspect that Chu Zhu brought information about artificial intelligence to the West!"

Chu Zhu paused, silently staring at the time in the comments. March 17th, 1941! Hmm... the video was released around that year too?
This video by Big Rat was actually posted in 1941? The lateness of the date surprised Chu Zhu, but he didn't dwell on it too much. After all, Big Rat had mentioned artificial intelligence in the video before… and artificial intelligence itself could symbolize a certain point in time!

Carefully examining the comments, Chu Zhu pondered their meaning, "This time, it seems that after Z and Skynet appeared... they coexisted peacefully for a while?"

Chu Zhu was a little confused; otherwise, shouldn't the internet have been cut off by now?
After thinking it over, Chu Zhu's eye suddenly twitched. "Oh no, could it be because I died so early this time that Z, Skynet didn't immediately launch its AI war plan?"

If that's really the case, doesn't that mean he's a jinx?
Was it because he was in Shenzhou that Zhao Shao was dragged down by him and died so young?!
"No, no, no, it's probably because of my situation! That's why the country is on high alert... and that's why they've increased protection for Zhao Shao? There might be other reasons too? For example, I may have infiltrated the Golden Dawn organization in the West in the early stages! Similarly, by exerting influence within the Golden Dawn organization and interfering with their decision-making, I also protected Zhao Shao to some extent?"

"After all, if I really was an undercover agent, I might have also sent some information back to my hometown at that time... um!"

"but……"

Chu Zhu checked the latest messages and found that the last message was posted on May 24th, 1941. He shrugged. Oh well. It seems that although it was delayed for a while, a fight finally broke out!
"Artificial intelligence is really... I just wonder, if Skynet wasn't created by aliens, can they coexist peacefully with Z?" Chu Zhu sighed. Seeing that Z Corporation ultimately only created one AI, Chu Zhu had some guesses in his mind: either the manufacturing of AI was extremely difficult and couldn't be mass-produced, or...

"The birth of two artificial intelligences means that they will inevitably clash with each other in the future, and a winner will eventually emerge. Two tigers cannot share one mountain... If that's the case, then the number of artificial intelligences created in the past may be much smaller than I thought?"

Chu Zhu shook his head, scrolled back to the previous comments, and continued reading. "Stop arguing, everyone upstairs! I acknowledge Chu's talent! I acknowledge his abilities! His brilliance goes without saying... But, a traitor! A complete traitor. Even if what the second floor said is true, and the Skynet really did originate from Chu Zhu, doesn't that just make his crimes even more serious? I've reported this video! I didn't expect that Big Rat would actually try to whitewash Chu! Disgusting."

"They reported it, but the video wasn't blocked! Doesn't that just prove that Big Rat's previous theory was correct? I suggest that the pinks change their attitude towards Chu Zhu based on the country's stance!"

"..." Chu Zhu choked for a moment. What did the birth of Skynet have to do with him?
Wait a minute! Chu Zhu belatedly realized something and his expression turned strange. It seemed that he hadn't heard much about James Raven in this timeline?

Could it be that he went to the west and directly absorbed all the traffic—or that he truly came into contact with the truth behind the Golden Dawn, so the extraterrestrial organization suspected to exist behind the Golden Dawn chose to push him?
"It's also possible that James Raven simply wanted to keep a low profile and push me into the spotlight... There are just too many possibilities!"

"But thinking about it this way, what Big Rat was implying before was that Skynet's rise was all thanks to the legacy of C Machinery Company...emmm! So, in this timeline, Skynet Group's image is that of a dog that just sits around and wins? That shouldn't be the case, after all, its market value is still there, so it must have some self-developed technology...or rather, in the eyes of public opinion, Skynet Group seems like a dog that just sits around and wins?"

Chu Zhu was momentarily at a loss for what expression to make. Could this be considered taking credit for someone else's work?
Rubbing his face, Chu Zhu continued reading, but the next comment struck him like a thunderbolt!

"Alas, what a pity! I grew up with Master Chu, and I've always been waiting for him to come back and marry me! Why did he die in South America?"

"?" Chu Zhu was pondering. Where did he get a childhood sweetheart? Wasn't Lin Xia the one most like him? But she wasn't a girl! Where did this guy/girl come from?
"Holy crap, is the person upstairs Chu Zhu's dream girl? Good grief, has her status been upgraded from a Saudi prince to Chu Zhu herself?"

"To be fair, Chu Zhu perfectly fits the definition of a beautiful, strong, and tragic character! Or rather, no one fits it better than him... Despite the criticism, I don't know if it's just my imagination, but recently, I can always see a bit of Chu Zhu's shadow in some of the most charismatic and popular villain characters in domestic games!"

"He's more than just a villain... I even see his shadow in several of the main characters!"

"There are actually people who idolize Chu Zhu, who's known as the human form of capitalism! Do they even know how fantastical the cyberpunk he created in Black State is? It's practically undermined the local government there! His talk about Western shadow governments is just old news. I suspect it's just the bald eagle being afraid he'll do the same thing in Black State there, so they're cracking down on him! Serves him right. As for aliens, that's pure nonsense!"

"Hmm, although everyone compares Zhao Shao and Chu Zhu, they really can't be compared... Of course, this might be due to the US's lax attitude towards capital... That's why C Machinery Company has expanded to such an unimaginable size! Z Company, on the other hand, has official pressure, so... But the conclusion is that in terms of global influence, they are not on the same level!"

"That's right, the real competitor to C Machinery Company is Tianwang Group! Their development paths are practically identical... I don't know why Z and C are always compared, even though they're not on the same track... Is it because their names are both letters? Or is it because Chu Zhu actually came from Shenzhou?"

"Regarding Chu Zhu's death, all I can say is 'good riddance'... Really? Surely no one actually wants to live a cyberpunk life? If you really like Chu Zhu that much, I suggest sending him straight to Black Continent! Let them have a proper appreciation."

"Indeed, the South Asian Ocean isn't covered! I suggest swimming there."

"Damn it! How can you slander Chu Zhu like this? Although I also dislike many things about him, using Black Continent cyberpunk to smear him is clearly missing the mark! Cyberpunk is indeed outrageous, but what kind of life did people in Black Continent live before cyberpunk? Do you even know how the locals in Black Continent actually view him? And you're just speculating here!"

“Indeed, I’m in Kenya right now! Here, Chu Zhu feels like the sun over the peninsula. You have to understand, this is even after Chu Zhu died, and has been dead for many years… it just shows how popular he was!”

"In the Northang region, if you say anything bad about Chu Zhu, you really will get a beating with a sack over your head!"

"..." Chu Zhu remained expressionless. For some inexplicable reason, he felt a sense of déjà vu.

After thinking for a while, Chu Zhu's eyes twitched. "Isn't this the route Lin Xia complained about to me about last time? Rising up in Black Continent... Has his words come true this time? That damn jinx..."

After watching for a while, Chu Zhu decided to leave the comments section. After a moment's thought, he clicked on other videos, but…

"Compared to the big rat, the difference is too obvious!" Chu Zhu said with some disappointment.

Although Big Rat admired Chu Zhu, he maintained a relatively impartial stance. And he did indeed uncover a lot of useful information from the past!
Others simply state that Chu Zhu, in South America, seems to be trying to implement a cyberpunk-style reform similar to that of the African continent. After the bald eagle seized upon his weakness, it directly launched an all-out attack!

In fact, the blogger's description of the Bald Eagle's deployment almost made Chu Zhu think he was witnessing the Bald Eagle's heavenly army unleashing a powerful attack on Sam—

Aside from this kind of unbiased explanation that simply states what happened, the rest—

Or they'll just keep blowing on Chu Zhu!
Or they're desperately trying to smear Chu Zhu.

"All I can say is that this group of people really knows how to play the traffic game!"

Chu Zhu was filled with emotion, but since they could fight to this extent, it meant that he still had a large following in Shenzhou... This was somewhat beyond Chu Zhu's expectations.

In other countries, Chu Zhu wasn't quite sure about his situation, but based on his guess about the atmosphere in the comments section... he was probably receiving mixed reviews within China!

They have a large number of fans and haters, and both types of fans are extremely active, frequently starting fights and clashes.

"That's true, with my face! Plus the songs I sing! I can easily attract a bunch of fans..." Chu Zhu sighed.

Let alone those people from the past, even he himself, after so many years, seeing this video explaining his good brother's life experiences... could still appreciate that strong, irresistible charm that transcends the categories of justice and evil.
