Resurrection Empire

There was a total of half an hour left for Ren Zhong.

It looks very generous, but it is not.

He was able to contact Sun Ai as quickly as possible, and Sun Ai completed the forced shutdown and formatting program writing.

But before all this happens, there is a prerequisite, that is, he must awaken Sun Ai's personality.

Ren Zhong diligently observed his surroundings, trying to capture some information that he could identify.

After a moment passed, he finally "saw" some flickering lights and shadows in the void.

Sometimes the light and shadow are green, sometimes red.

Two kinds of light and shadow suddenly appeared and then extinguished instantly. . .

The direction it appears each time is not fixed, sometimes up, sometimes down, sometimes left, sometimes right.

This means that fierce competition and competition are also taking place in the communication computing power module where his consciousness is located.

From an intuitive perspective, the two colors of light and shadow gave him different feelings.

The red one is more chaotic, full of violent aura, and seems to want to tear apart everything it touches.

Green is stable and peaceful, giving people a sense of order.

After thinking briefly, Ren Zhong decided to find a way to get closer to the red light and shadow.

He has an element of gambling.

Of course, even if you bet wrong, it’s not a big problem.

Anyway, the current "net" cannot send information to the outside world and can't do anything.

Even if he's exposed, well, it's just death.

It's just that it's very difficult for Ren Zhong to catch the red shadow. Even though he has no sense of time now, he still feels that the light and shadow are changing too fast, and he can't even think about it, touch it, let alone interact with it.

At the same time, Hua Yuelan and Chen Qiao, who were standing outside the light wall, also started taking action.

Hua Yuelan turned on an instrument shaped like a searchlight, pointed it at the back of Ren Zhong's neck, and clicked the launch button.

A cable slowly floated out of the hole in the front section of the instrument, passed the barrier of the light wall, and attached to the back of Ren Zhong's neck.

Then, the top of the cable began to protrude a biomaterial superconducting wire as thin as a capillary blood vessel. It penetrated into the back of Ren Zhong's neck, continued to spread inward, and then intertwined into a network, wrapping Ren Zhong's spinal nerves.

Here, after seeing the successful connection prompt on the instrument, Chen Qiao clicked the start button.

The next moment, a large number of biological microcurrent signals released when simulating neurons transmit information entered Ren Zhong's spinal nerves through superconducting wires, and directly acted on the depths of Ren Zhong's brain.

These signals "cheated" Ren Zhong's body perception, causing his brain to secrete dopamine crazily, further increasing his level of mental excitement.

The conscious mind in the ocean of data was stimulated by this, and the conscious body suddenly expanded and began to become controllable with thoughts.

The concept of this behavior is equivalent to Ren Zhong having completed the uploading of his consciousness and temporarily stored his consciousness in the "hard drive". Moreover, his program still has self-awareness and can choose the partition in the hard drive to occupy.

Finally, a red light appeared briefly "next to him", and Ren Zhong rushed to spread his own information before it disappeared.

The next moment, his somatosensory perception suddenly changed.

There was no longer nothingness in front of him, but instead turned into a huge crystal lattice.

Ren Zhong recognized this crystal lattice at a glance, which was exactly the physical structure of the "net".

At this time, the crystal lattice is still full of green, with only yellow, red, black and other color patches appearing from time to time.

Suddenly, a strange red color appeared in the corner.

Then the red color began to spread in all directions.

The green part suddenly glowed brightly, and stream after stream of radiant data swept towards the red part.

The red was threatened by the impact of this data flow several times, as if it was only one step away from being swallowed up, but it always turned danger into danger, finding gaps in the huge data flow, rushing out, and moving at a faster speed. It spread and expanded until it finally competed with the green, each occupying half of the country.

But just when the red occupation area was about to reach 50%, the original green resistance intensity suddenly increased, and the counterattack against the red color blocks suddenly intensified.

Ever since, the two have started a tug-of-war around the 50% dividing line, competing for each other, evenly matched.

Ren Zhong immediately understood the meaning of these changes in color blocks.

It is the process of confrontation between the virus incarnated by Sun Ai and the ontology of the "net" over the past twenty years.

The reason why Sun Ai made progress quite smoothly in the early stage but encountered difficulties when approaching 50% is probably because the creator of "Net" set up a bottom-level protection system to prevent "Net" from being completely destroyed.

In the past twenty years, the "net" has not actually been damaged, it has just been too busy entangled with Sun Ai to care about anything else.

Before entering the "net", Sun Ai once said that she would try to self-destruct to die together.

Now it seems that she probably can't do it.

If there is no external interference, she will be entangled with the "Net" in this space for eternity, until the energy of the "Net" is exhausted and they fall into a deep sleep together.

Or, if the "Net" is dragged back to the headquarters of the Mechanical Empire, then real top programmers will intervene, either from the outside to assist the "Net" in destroying Sun Ai, or simply intervene from the physical level and dismantle the "Net" , and clear all useless data inside.

For the Mechanical Empire, the truly useful data is the cosmic hash value, not the "Net" program.

They already had it.

Looking at the changing light and shadow, Ren Zhong thought to himself that these data should be Sun Ai's "memories".

When he was in Spark Town, he was pulled into the memory of "Sun Ai" in a dream, and sat on her simulated "top spot" to experience the philosophy of the leader of the nameless city.

In the end, it was the concept of responsibility that overpowered the other party.

Time has passed, but unexpectedly, in a different scene and in a different way, Ren Zhong appears in Sun Ai's memory again.

Having had the experience once, Ren Zhong immediately thought of a way to open up the situation.

He first formed a clear instruction in his mind.

Hua Yuelan outside recognized it and began to follow the method Sun Miao once taught her to enter a program that can deeply hypnotize the human brain.

The new biological microcurrent signal entered Ren Zhong's brain again through the superconducting wire, pulling him into a "dream within a dream."

The screen turned again, and Ren Zhong appeared in a scene that was slightly familiar to him.

Still a nameless city.

The last time he came here, Sun Ai showed him the spacious streets, beautiful houses, and the busy streets intertwined with people coming and going.

But this time, Ren Zhong only saw collapsed houses, with broken walls and damaged corpses everywhere.

The streets were desolate and lonely, with no human beings in sight. Only the dead bones on the ground proved that there had been living people here.

Ren Zhong walked on the street, walked through the streets and alleys, and walked as fast as flying.

Finally, he reached the center of the city.

There is a collapsed house here that is not very tall, which is the meeting hall of the Nameless City.

More than a hundred years ago, a group of like-minded and extremely talented people who came from barren backgrounds gathered here and tried hard to use their own minds to find a way out for the barren people all over the world, and they almost did it.

But now, this hall has long been broken into countless boulders, and the desolate and dilapidated place is spread all over the ground.

Right in front of the pile of rocks, Ren Zhong saw a short figure.

That was a little Beanie girl.

She was wearing her favorite pink dress.

She stood like a sculpture.

The skirt floats gently in the wind.

Ren Zhong came closer and tried to shout: "Sun Ai?"

The little girl with her back turned to him didn't react at all.

Ren Zhong turned to the front of her again, but saw that her once quirky little face was stiff and expressionless, like a robot.

She had no awareness of the heavy responsibility coming, and her eyes were not focused.

Her pupils were flashing red.

The changes of these red lights at the microscopic level are highly consistent with the changing frequency of the color patches outside.

In a sense, this means that Sun Ai's "Program" relied on his obsession with the nameless city to battle wits and courage with the unimaginable enemy "Net" for twenty years.

Although Sun Ai was no longer human at this time, a smile appeared on Ren Zhong's face.

He stood still and spread his arms.

The dreamland that belonged to him began to spread from his feet and gradually enveloped Sun Ai.

Outside, Hua Yuelan and Chen Qiao activated the last step of the operation at the same time, reading the memories of Sun Miao and Tang Shuying from the crystal core of the young legion beast.

The time left for Ren Zhong is only one ten thousandth of a second.

But he believed that Sun Ai could "see" the whole life of Sun Miao and Tang Shuying in this ten thousandth of a second.

Although Ren Zhong has not read the life memories of the two, he believes that the two should have left countless thoughts for Sun Ai.

Especially after Sun Ai's sacrifice and when the two completed their life journey, the indelible thoughts left in their hearts were indelible.

This is a feeling that programs can never simulate.

I would like to apologize to everyone first. I went back to my hometown today. I can only write so many words in this chapter. There will be another chapter during the day tomorrow. I will not owe you the word count! Sorry sorry.
