There have been various records of superpowers on Earth since records began.
Every civilization has its own myths and legends, and its own system of superpowers.
However, these superpowered feats and figures only existed in records or in people's oral traditions. Until the rise of science and rationalism gradually took over the human mind, fewer and fewer people truly believed in the existence of superpowers.
The true belief referred to here is not that you enjoy reading fantasy novels or watching fantasy movies, but that you firmly believe from the bottom of your heart that superpowers definitely exist in this world.
In the modern world, surveillance cameras are ubiquitous, yet no high-resolution photos of UFOs have been taken to this day, and the existence of extraterrestrials at Area 51 remains unverified.
Zheng Li used his cyber intrusion skills to browse through the internal databases of governments around the world, but he still couldn't find any evidence of superpowers.
Perhaps there's some physically isolated secret base secretly researching superpowers.
He knew that when he regained his spellcasting ability, if there were indeed superpowers on Earth, he would naturally find out.
(The setting of this book is that there are no superpowers on Earth, so it's impossible to transform into urban superpowers.)
For centuries, the uniqueness of the material and spiritual worlds has been taken for granted regarding the nature of consciousness and matter.
The ancient concept of matter was a form of inert, compulsive thinking; its essence was activity and consciousness.
Today, matter is viewed as a form of energy, and objects as dynamic clusters of elementary particles, each potentially existing in space only in a probabilistic sense. With this view of matter, one must avoid imposing classical constraints on what we consider the possible properties and states of matter and physical systems in general.
The “mind” or “inner self” refers to states and processes generated or facilitated by the internal brain structures. These processes include will, consciousness, thought, and perception.
The term “consciousness” is not limited to the definition in modern psychology, but refers to self-awareness—awareness of sensations, thoughts, and certain other psychological processes.
A century ago, when people defined "life," we could only list the activities related to life (growth, reproduction, metabolism, movement, etc.).
Today we can explain and describe these activities in detail.
Zheng Li believes that with the development of technology, the people of Earth will discover the bridge between consciousness and reality, and, just as people previously defined life, will explain and describe in detail how consciousness affects reality.
Zheng Li's understanding of magic is that its essence is to achieve the transformation between dark matter and matter through the will of the mage in order to achieve the effect of casting spells.
The artificial brain is the greatest invention of the Mage Alliance in the Third Age, allowing people without talent to have the ability to influence reality through willpower.
In the subsequent eras, the Mage Alliance continued to optimize and research the Demon Brain. By the time Zheng Li came to Blue Star, the artificial Demon Brain had already achieved large-scale industrial production.
A small amount of resources can equip every new intelligent life form in the area covered by the mage tower with a magic brain.
Except for a few self-proclaimed noble mage academies that still adhere to the principle of only admitting students who are born with the ability to cast spells, the vast majority of mage academies treat everyone equally.
Zheng Li's goal is not only to manufacture standard artificial brains, but also to manufacture the Hive II brain, which is much more difficult to manufacture than the ordinary standard brain.
After the embryo was implanted into the mother monkey's brain, her vital signs remained stable.
The image before him was simply the most beautiful picture in the world. Zheng Li had had enough of life without magic, just like a modern person who had been back in ancient times for two years without using a mobile phone.
The experimental monkey embryos did not exhibit the same physical signs as before, and remained in a stable state until the next morning.
Zheng Li knew he had succeeded. After dealing with the mother monkey, he knew he only needed to follow the steps he had already taken to create a honeycomb-shaped artificial brain and then implant it into his body through injection.
Zheng Li didn't waste any more time; now, even if he didn't sleep for three days and three nights, it wouldn't have any effect on his health.
At midnight in Lion City, he immediately began creating the Demon Brain.
......
Three days later at the Singapore Research and Development Center of Kechuang Biotechnology, Zheng Li held a freshly produced reagent and injected it into his own artery.
It takes time for the demonic brain to mature and for it to combine with the brain. Finally, the demonic brain will experience some pain when it combines with the brain.
However, the pain is not severe; at most, it's like a headache from not getting enough rest—intermittent, mild pain.
Zheng Li knew that all he needed to do now was wait, and the rest was to prepare for the follow-up plan.
To transform Earth according to his own will, being just an entrepreneur is far from enough; he needs a completely new identity.
It takes about a month from implanting the demonic brain to developing the ability to cast spells. During this month, Zheng Li not only stayed in the laboratory, but also often strolled around the streets and alleys of Lion City.
After completing the most important task, he finally had the time to properly explore the human geography of Earth.
While Zheng Li was enjoying a rare moment of leisure in Singapore, Apple and Kechuang Bio signed a patent licensing agreement for brain-computer interfaces.
The news that the iPhone 13 will feature brain-computer interface technology quickly spread across major social media platforms.
International digital media outlets are also buzzing with discussion, as inside sources claim that the brain-computer interface iPhone 13 will only be sold in Greater China.
iPhones sold in other parts of the world still have the notch screen, an industrial design that has remained unchanged since the iPhone X, with the only difference being a better screen and a better CPU.
The reaction from overseas netizens was the strongest. They couldn't accept that the iPhone sold in China was so significantly more innovative than those sold in other regions. They expressed their opinions one after another:
Why are brain-computer interface iPhones only sold in China?
"This is discrimination against us. We also need an iPhone that we can control directly with our brains!"
Are there any Chinese netizens here? Could you help me buy the iPhone 13 when it's released?
"While China was already using brain-computer interfaces to connect iPhones, we were still foolishly tapping our phone screens with our fingers."
"Where's Musk? Weren't you the biggest advocate for brain-computer interfaces? Why are we just watching Chinese people use brain-computer interfaces on their phones?"
"We've had enough of the same old iPhone. If, as the media reports, the next generation of iPhones only has brain-computer interface functionality when sold in China, I will not buy another iPhone. And I will report Apple to the Federal Trade Commission!"
"I cannot accept that America is Apple's largest source of profit, yet I have to tolerate Apple's differential treatment."
Seeing the strong reaction on social media, with many users saying they wouldn't buy the iPhone 13 if it didn't have brain-computer interface capabilities, Apple CEO Tim Cook personally gave an interview to CNN.
