Chapter 471 You Stand Too High
Mo Qiao and others spent about half an hour setting up all the auxiliary learning equipment.
Although these things are older models, they don't take too much time to re-debug because the underlying logic has not changed.
"Are you all ready? Pay attention to the interface. Some circuits have been updated and upgraded. When connecting..."
Before Mo Qiao finished speaking, there was a clicking sound, followed by an exclamation from a female researcher.
A piece of equipment she had just set up and was about to connect to the line suddenly caught fire.
"Didn't I tell you! Be careful! Pay attention to the adapter cable! You shouldn't make such a stupid mistake!"
Mo Qiao is very strict and treats these outstanding researchers as the big brothers in her engineering department studio.
"Yes... yes! I'm sorry! I, I'll adjust it right away!"
In the conference room, everyone watching them busy themselves felt that it was just an ordinary preparation for the experiment.
But everyone knows it in their hearts.
What exactly are these researchers about to face...
So the more they saw them busy as usual, the more sad they felt in their hearts.
"Alright, alright! It's almost set up! We don't know what's going on with Li Muhan in there! But Prometheus hasn't made any other moves, which means Li Muhan should be able to hold it back for now. Now it's our turn!"
Mo Qiao looked at the equipment that had been set up one after another, and then looked at the men and women who were so busy that they completely ignored their image.
"Finally, I want to thank everyone... for being willing to participate in this operation. As the overall leader of this operation... I really... thank you all."
Mo Qiao glanced at everyone present, then nodded slightly.
"Minister Mo..."
A researcher curled up in the corner had been busy with something since a while ago. He kept running to the researchers who were setting up equipment and asking something. Finally, he came to Mo Qiao and took out a terminal.
"...Minister Mo...I, I can't accompany you on this operation, but...I can act as a recorder...Please...write down your name and your last words."
Mo Qiao did not blame the man. She looked at the terminal in the man's hand.
Many people have already left their names and what they want to say above.
Some people leave messages for their children, and some leave messages for their lovers.
Others leave messages to the world.
Mo Qiao smiled slightly, and then wrote a name on the terminal.
Ink Rain.
"Minister Mo...this..."
"Since we're going to record it, let's start from the beginning. If you can still get out alive, I hope you can write down the names of all those who have fought for and sacrificed for the Prometheus Project since its inception. Of course, your own will be included as well."
Mo Qiao patted his shoulder and then walked towards a device.
The man looked at Mo Qiao's back, then looked at the terminal in his hand and the long list of names and hopes on it...
"Okay, let's get started now."
Mo Qiao didn't hesitate at all. She was the first to pick up the terminal device, but just as she was about to put it on her head, a pair of hands gently stopped her.
"My dear, the first terminal is the main brain. All the auxiliary devices connected thereafter will be connected to Prometheus through this terminal."
Jörmungandr gently took the device from Mo Qiao.
"Admittedly, you are very smart, but your brain structure is not as good as that of the aliens. I am the most suitable being to be the main brain here. Besides, I am just a soul fragment. Even if I die here, my main body will not be destroyed, right?"
She stuck out her tongue and looked at Mo Qiao with a hint of gentleness in her golden eyes.
Mo Qiao looked at Jörmungandr and finally slowly let go of his hand.
She was not afraid of death, but she was considering that once the main brain died, all the terminals of the branch interface would be breached by Prometheus in an instant.
At that time, not only would they fail to create opportunities for Li Muhan, but they would become a burden to him.
"Please, Jörmungandr."
When Nidhogg in the conference room saw Jörmungandr take the initiative to assume the responsibility of the main brain, he sighed slightly.
"You have really changed a lot for the sake of humanity, Jörmungandr."
In the end, of the 72 people present, except for the Blood Moon Church representative who had completely lost his fighting spirit and the remaining 25 representatives, all other members and some former Prometheus staff were assigned access devices.
"The current Prometheus Research Institute's chief commander, Mo Qiao, announces that this operation is about to officially begin."
After saying that, she looked at Jörmungandr, who put on the access device with a smile without any hesitation.
But the moment she put on the access device, she suddenly collapsed to the ground.
Then his body began to tremble, and the expression on his face kept twisting with pain.
"Jörmungandr!"
Mo Qiao rushed over and tried to grab her, but Jörmungandr raised his hand to block Mo Qiao.
"Don't... worry, my brain... isn't... that fragile... I've already... secured the access point... Come on... let's... get started..."
Even a god as powerful as Jörmungandr would suffer so much. After seeing this scene, the other researchers present suddenly felt a little scared.
This is natural.
Deciding to face death and actually facing death are two completely different concepts.
It is human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm, and no one can blame them.
But at the same time, humans are one of the few species that can overcome the fear of death and live towards death.
Mo Qiao nodded, then picked up an access device, glanced at everyone and said, "Don't waste the stable channel created by Jörmungandr..."
Just this short sentence, without any other motivation or speech, because she knew that none of this was that important.
When facing death, it is just a thought.
Mo Qiao put on the device.
Then the third and fourth researchers picked up the access device with trembling hands and put it on their heads.
When the last person put the access device on his head, the scene fell into a brief silence.
......
In the data world, the confrontation between Li Muhan and Prometheus seems to have transcended the constraints of time.
Maybe it's a moment, maybe a century, or even longer.
Every attack of Li Muhan was like a violent storm tearing apart Prometheus's data form. No matter whether Prometheus was incarnated as Baal, Lucifer or Baphomet, he could not resist this force.
But Li Muhan couldn't destroy it completely.
Prometheus can always reorganize at the moment of destruction and return in a more powerful posture. Its power comes from the analysis and absorption of Li Muhan's repeated attacks.
At this moment, the entire virtual world is shrouded in eternal night, and the daylight that once symbolized hope has been taken away by Prometheus.
Li Muhan was left with only the cold eternal night, but he did not give in. He dragged Prometheus into the abyss of the void again and again, trying to crush it.
However, each victory was fleeting, and Prometheus always rose again as a god, more powerful than before.
"Your existence actually surprises me, because you allowed me to analyze data that shouldn't belong to me. Now, I can feel more knowledge and power. Give it up."
Prometheus' voice echoed in the endless darkness.
It no longer needs a material form; pure data streams permeate behind it, as bright as stars.
The earth was broken, the mountains and rivers were gone, and all that remained in this world was a dead silent night and the single eye slightly closed in the sky.
Li Muhan took a deep breath. The cycle of the four seasons stagnated in this endless night. He smiled bitterly.
He knew that if Prometheus was allowed to continue analyzing Zhulong's realm, humanity would face even more terrifying threats.
However, he had no choice but to face the challenge head-on.
He straightened his body and looked firmly at the tightly closed vertical pupils in the night sky.
The next moment, a new pair of eyes appeared above the vertical pupils.
His eyes suddenly opened, as if the vast galaxy was reflected in them, lighting up the originally silent night sky and bringing a brief but brilliant light.
"This is humanity's ultimate dream, Li Muhan. Do you see it? I can easily realize their dreams, but I don't want to do that. How can a group of ants surpass a species that exists beyond them?"
"Your words are becoming more and more human."
The black spear in Li Muhan's hand pointed at the vast starry sky.
"So you made a mistake all humans make, Prometheus. You stood too high... Arrogance will blind you. Never underestimate humans or aliens."
"Humans don't even have the right to witness this battle between you and me. Li Muhan, I recognize your strength and the significance of your life. All your records and data are still stored in my terminal. I now extend a final invitation to you. Li Muhan, join us. I will transform you into a mechanical life form. You will be forever free from the constraints of the flesh and become the master of this world under me."
Swish——
The black spear cut through the night sky, tore through the galaxy, and pierced through the right eye in the galaxy.
"Don't you understand what I'm saying? You're too arrogant, Prometheus."
