Gu Nanzhi looked up at him after hearing this, and then...

I couldn't help but laugh!

“Is that the point?”

Isn't the point that they might separate?

“That’s the point!”

Xie Zhenting said with a serious face: "In my heart, this is the most important thing!"

Gu Nanzhi: “…”

Looking at the serious man in front of her, she smiled and threw herself into his arms, tears streaming down her face again.

In her heart, leaving him made her extremely painful!

And in his heart, her safety comes first!

But……

Now, her safety is inversely proportional to the length of time they spend together...

After a brief hug, Gu Nanzhi turned around, wiped the tears from her face, and began to organize the documents on the desk.

"Can you tell me about the shuttle?"

Seeing this, Xie Zhenting hesitated for a moment and stepped forward.

"You may not understand even if I tell you. This is a work that my colleagues and I once created. The main raw material used is the ore we brought back from the bottom of Lake Qibu. However, in my world, there is very little of that ore, so we could only find a substitute for it in space. This also caused the shuttle to have some shortcomings in performance, so we failed in the final experimental stage and it was discarded in my laboratory warehouse..."

Gu Nanzhi thought of the past, sighed, and said: "As for why I came here, I think it's because there is a problem with my intelligent computer terminal!"

"In my world, the earth's resources are already running out. To survive, humans have no choice but to look to the universe. To continue our race, we have made unremitting efforts to crack human genes, research interstellar weapons, and explore the theory of planes... Searching for possible life in the vast universe has become the goal of everyone in our world!"

"As a world-class scientific researcher, I became tired after a long period of scientific research, so I chose to retire. However..."

"On the eve of my retirement, I copied my own brain data!"

"I originally wanted to give it to the country so that it could continue to contribute to the country's scientific research on my behalf. I didn't expect..."

Her brain data is stored in her intelligent brain terminal!

And her intelligent computer terminal is connected to all the electronic equipment in her entire laboratory!

perhaps……

This is the truth behind her traveling through the book!

The intelligent computer synchronized her brain data to the time-space shuttle in the warehouse, and she traveled through time!

Of course, there are still some things that cannot be explained scientifically!

For example, why does she carry a laboratory space with her when she travels through the book? Why does her access card travel with her to the world in the book!

You know, the time-space shuttle does not have the ability to carry physical objects, because...

In the light-speed travel across time and space, any increase in weight would be fatal to the shuttle, but...

That's the truth!

She's traveled through a book!

To be precise, it was her brain data that traveled through the book under the guidance of the time machine!

Not only that, the shuttle also added some phenomena that science cannot explain to her journey through the book!

Xie Zhenting heard: "..."

He stared at Gu Nanzhi in silence for a long time, then said hesitantly, "So, you just... copied the data?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Nanzhi turned around and looked at him a little awkwardly.

“You can understand it that way!”

She replicated her brain data.

Memory and knowledge, consciousness and everything...

"and you……"

Xie Zhenting was a little flustered when he heard this: "Will you still remember me after you go back?"

As soon as these words came out.

Gu Nanzhi suddenly fell silent.

"this……"

After a long pause, Gu Nanzhi murmured, "In theory, as long as I don't connect to the brain data I stored again, we won't be able to complete memory sharing!"

Will she remember him...

She doesn’t know either!

What's more, even if she died in this book world, it would only be the disappearance of a string of codes. In fact...

It will not have any substantial impact on anything that happens to her in another time and space!

But……

This plane, however, will be doomed to irretrievable destruction because of the existence of her and the shuttle!

So, she had no choice!

Xie Zhenting heard: "!!!"

His expression suddenly became subtle.

“So, I fell in love with a string of data?”

And, married a string of data?

"Puff! Cough cough!"

Gu Nanzhi couldn't help laughing when he heard that. He raised his hand and punched him in the chest, saying, "What do you mean by a string of data? I am me! My brain data is just like my consciousness mapping, there is no difference between me and myself!"

Her every word and action, every choice and decision, follows her thinking and behavior patterns!

so……

Although she and her brain data are two completely separate individuals, they are actually completely consistent in some aspects!

Upon hearing this, Xie Zhenting's brows were still tightly furrowed.

"hehe!"

Seeing this, Gu Nanzhi couldn't help but laugh: "Is it hard to understand? To put it another way, the immortality that the ancient emperors spared no effort to pursue has actually been achieved in our world!"

"We can replicate ourselves through gene replication, and through the migration of brain data, allow the new self to continue life!"

"However, the cost of doing so is a bit high. Most people cannot do it, and it is also subject to many legal restrictions! But..."

Having said this, Gu Nanzhi paused, then continued: "I am an exception!"

Xie Zhenting heard: "Why?"

“Because that’s what I researched!”

Xie Zhenting: “!!!”

He looked at her with a complicated expression, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Not only was this something I researched, even the gene-enhancing drug you took was also researched by me!"

Gu Nanzhi shrugged and continued helplessly: "Don't think that my research is against ethics. The research of gene enhancement drugs is to change the underlying code of human genes and stimulate the positive engraving of human gene sequences to the greatest extent!"

"Do you know what a change in a gene sequence means? It means that our race will no longer be able to be completely locked down! In the interstellar age, this may save our race from being wiped out by extraterrestrial civilizations!"

"As for the research on disguised immortality..."

"Do you know the time limit for interstellar travel? If humans are really forced to reach the stage of interstellar migration, that time limit will easily take tens of thousands of years!"

"It is unknown whether humans can find a new planet suitable for survival in tens of thousands of years. It is also unknown whether humans can ensure the continuation of their race during the long journey of interstellar travel!"

"This is about the survival of the human race. Faced with the double uncertainty, we have no choice!"

"So, I have been conducting digital life research for several years, and this is also my last research topic before retirement..."
