My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 196 Chu Zhu: Huh? This time, I'm the one who established Skynet Company?!
"The Golden Dawn Organization? No, they only used two black codes, so it's the Golden Organization! As for the codename, we currently have limited information, so we'll ignore it for now... The things they use are probably ancient artifacts collected by the Golden Dawn, which we saw in the infiltrated timeline. As for the influence of this blackening causing... contamination? Monsterization?"

Chu Zhu pondered silently, feeling that it was pretty much a definite yes or no.

Moreover, he felt that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the remaining questions should be answered by his best friend's diary. But before that... let's look at the macro-level changes!
He said, "Let me elaborate on Chu Zhu's life story! Starting from 2025, and I will focus on analyzing why he was chosen by the Federation nations to be killed with neutron weapons!"

Nuwa No. 17 pondered for 97 seconds before finally providing an answer.

"In April of 2025, Chu Zhu burst onto the scene, dominating the entire world music scene with his unimaginable musical talent!"

From singing to playing musical instruments, he has achieved remarkable success in every field. Therefore, he will be regarded as a son of music in the future!

"At the end of April 2005, Chu Zhu was invited by Howard Raven, CEO of Bald Eagle Rock Music, to go to Bald Eagle! He officially signed a top-level cooperation agreement with Rock Music!"

With Howard Raven's personal guidance, assistance, and promotion, he laid the foundation for becoming a world-class music superstar.

Chu Zhu's eyelids twitched, and a storm raged within him. He almost doubted whether he was seeing things. Howard Raven... the CEO of Stone Rolling Music? He remembered looking up Stone Rolling's information before... after all, he had started getting into music too.

It seems the CEO at the time didn't have this name? Could it be that Howard was parachuted in? Surely he couldn't have just been brought in in the last couple of days...?

Moreover, his good friend signed a contract with him and went to the Bald Eagle...

"This world is crazy, a mouse is a bridesmaid for a cat!" Chu Zhu murmured. He said he didn't understand, but he was utterly shocked!

"In early May of 2005, Chu Zhu officially participated in the 100-meter and 200-meter track and field events at the White Eagle Grand Slam!"
This is his first appearance at the world level of sports.

However, this appearance directly shocked the entire world!

"He won the championship in the 100-meter dash with an astonishing time of 9.59 seconds! He also won the championship in the 200-meter dash with an amazing time of 19.2 seconds!"

"This is beyond imagination! Since Bolt ran the 100 meters in 9.58 seconds and the 200 meters in 19.19 seconds, this is the closest anyone has ever come to his time in human history!"

The one who achieved this miracle was just a twenty-year-old young man from China.

Considering the lifespan of a track and field athlete, he even has room to improve! He... is almost destined to break the human world record!

"This shocked the bald eagle, shocked the world, and ultimately shocked East Asia!"

He is hailed as the pride of the yellow race!
The island nation calls it: "The Eagle of the World!"

Howard astutely seized this opportunity and began operations! This directly led to Chu Zhu's English songs achieving near-total chart dominance...

Even though they never dominated the list, countless people suspected that the bald eagles might have deliberately manipulated it because of their hostility towards the Chinese flying man!
Undoubtedly, his records became bestsellers worldwide, setting a record for the highest-grossing albums in nearly thirty years!

"At the same time, Shenzhou Z and C, two major entertainment companies, also mobilized."

They released a large number of short dramas featuring Chu Zhu as the protagonist, which swept across China and then the entire world!

Chu Zhu: "..."

To be honest, Chu Zhu wasn't shocked by this situation at all...

After all, my good buddy was absolutely amazing this time, with all sorts of buffs stacked up to the max—

At the time, he was at the center of world opinion in the United States, and also carried the nationality of China. Before he had reached his peak, he was just a hair's breadth away from breaking the world record, and he was also a musical prodigy...

"Perhaps, there's also Howard and his operations?" Chu Zhu speculated. The influence of the Raven family in the Bald Eagle and even the Western world was undeniable.

Signing the contract is equivalent to making money for the Raven family, so the door is naturally wide open.

But the only thing that surprised him was...

"Z,C...Entertainment Company?!"

This was the first time he had ever seen... these two words applied to these two companies!
Chu Zhu patted her cheeks, feeling both amused and exasperated, and continued reading.

"In June of 2025, Chu Zhu returned to China. That same month, C Machinery Co., Ltd. officially launched the Alisu Energy Battery! This was a revolutionary battery..."

The moment the real data was leaked to the market, the world's major corporations went wild!

"The CEO of Guozi flew to China overnight, hoping to obtain support in mobile phone batteries!"

"Disizi's senior management held an emergency meeting overnight to discuss the huge impact of this matter on Disizi."

In July 2005, Z Smart Co., Ltd. officially launched the updated version of Z! and invited Chu Zhu to become its spokesperson!
In just seven days, Z Company's reputation spread throughout the world! Z Company's AI downloads achieved the incredible feat of topping the charts worldwide for a whole month!
As a result, Company Z has successfully joined the ranks of the world's AI giants!

This was considered by competitors to be the most unimaginable, the most audacious, and the most correct promotional move!

Chu Zhu later commented: This is because Z's quality is beyond imagination! He only made some insignificant contributions.

However, Shenzhou's AI competitors do not think so! It is precisely because of this special case that Chu Zhu's annual global endorsement fee has skyrocketed to a staggering price of one billion Shenzhou coins!
However, aside from companies Z and C, Chu Zhu did not accept any other authorizations.

Chu Zhu: "..."

Okay, I don't know about the rest... but it's clear that he's incredibly popular right now!
At this stage, his global popularity is probably equivalent to that of the most popular Chinese celebrities during their most frenzied years, and the most famous Chinese celebrities in China.
Chu Zhu pondered, "It might even be a little higher."

"In August 2005, Company C launched its wireless charging technology again! It can enable unlimited charging within a range of 100 meters."

This aligns perfectly with Alisu Battery! They've played their trump card.

Dizi, along with many other companies in related industries, therefore abandoned their plan to target Company C entirely and instead opted for comprehensive cooperation.

In January 2006, the two major companies, C and Z, reached a strategic cooperation agreement with the Raven family.

The two companies spun off international service companies, which, by giving up a large number of shares and a certain degree of control, successfully gained the support of the Raven family.

The Raven family named the company that acquired a large stake in both companies Skynet.

Chu Zhu straightened up abruptly, his gaze sharpening: "...Skynet?!"

And this time... seriously! Damn! My good buddy actually sold the company... no, the international version of the company?!

Chu Zhu fell into deep thought; clearly, the local company was still under their control.

The difference between the international version and the domestic version should be similar to that between Douyin and the international version of TT...

"Z, it probably wasn't injected into the international company either... so it was just a shell company?" A flood of information surged through Chu Zhu's mind. "According to past practice, this is basically equivalent to giving away the international service company! That makes sense..."

Chu Zhu quickly looked relieved. He had almost forgotten that once Skynet was established, it would receive a continuous stream of support from extraterrestrial civilizations based on the law of conservation of technology.

From this perspective, it's better to define ourselves as the technology exporter... Even if we end up repeating past mistakes and being forcibly acquired, it's hard to say that we've suffered a loss!

After all, reaching an agreement on the economic front almost guarantees the safety of one's good brother.

Economic relationships are the most reliable relationships in the world! Humans can never betray their own interests.

"...This is really true!" Chu Zhu recalled his earlier words about surviving as much as possible, and felt a pang of emotion. He just hadn't expected his good brother to actually pave such a path... although it was a difficult one to navigate...

"However, I roughly know what kind of reputation my good buddies have on this timeline..."

Chu Zhu could basically assert that Shenzhou in this timeline couldn't possibly trust its close allies too much. It was even possible that Shenzhou would acquiesce in the final Federation vote…

However, even so, this timeline is currently the longest-lasting timeline, bar none—Lin Xia's longest-lived timeline was around the 1970s.

In January 2009, C Machinery Co., Ltd. officially announced that it had successfully developed a room-temperature superconductor and was ready for mass production!

The research was led by Lu Keke, a senior at Nanjing University who had not yet graduated!
This news once again shocked the world!
This is the most revolutionary achievement of Company C!

The discovery of room-temperature superconductors is almost certain to change the world, change humanity, and even change the future!

"..."

In July of 1935, China issued the Cyberpunk Manifesto!

It has been officially announced to the public that the world has now entered the cyberpunk society!
The cyberpunk economy, excluding the US and China, already accounts for 30% of the global economy!

"Z and C companies have built their own cyberpunk societies in Southeast Asia and East Africa, while Skynet has built its own societies in South America, West Africa, and South Africa."

The seven cyberpunk giants have been successfully selected, with two from China: Chu Zhu ranked first and Zhao Shao ranked third.

Chu Zhu: "..."

If he remembers correctly, Skynet in this timeline... should be considered something he created, right?!

and so……

“All three are related to me… No wonder I’m ranked number one!” Chu Zhu couldn’t help but click her tongue in amazement.

Chu Zhu is now quite curious about the remaining five... If nothing unexpected happens, James Riven might be one of them?

The remaining four might include the two remaining giants from Golden Dawn? No... judging from this situation, it seems that all seven giants are strongly related to Z, C, and Skynet—after all, the technological level of these three companies is probably drastically different from that of other ordinary companies.

"On July 8, 1937, due to unsuccessful negotiations, Skynet, represented by European and American interests, officially announced a complete break with C and Z companies."

The tension between the three major companies is intensifying! A war between giants is imminent.
