In a huge laboratory hundreds of meters underground in the northern part of the continent.

After the meeting, Dr. A sat back in his chair with a tired look on his face. Although he had also undergone bionic transformation, the mental fatigue could not be erased by bionic technology.

"Gaia."

"What is the success rate of implanting swarm consciousness into bionic humans?" Dr. A asked slowly with a serious expression.

A faint light emerged.

After a few minutes, a female electronic voice slowly sounded and replied: "27.86%."

"PhD."

"I don't recommend you do this. The success rate of implanting hive consciousness into androids is too low."

"If it fails, it could lead to a larger rebellion."

Dr. A's expression was a little hesitant, and he suddenly couldn't help cursing, "Damn democracy and freedom! ... If we don't implant the hive consciousness, these people will never catch up with them with their work efficiency."

After a while.

Dr. A continued to ask, "Why was Beidou able to succeed? Haven't they hacked into their database yet?"

soon.

The female electronic voice sounded again: "Nu Wa's computing power is comparable to mine. Unless there is an obvious loophole, it is impossible to hack into her database."

"PhD."

"According to my data analysis, Beidou did not implant hive consciousness into the bionic humans."

What?

Dr. A looked a little incredulous, and couldn't help but stand up and said, "Without the hive consciousness implanted? Then how could they endure working more than ten hours a day for decades?"

The electronic voice paused for a moment and continued: "According to my database analysis."

"Beidou's hive consciousness was born after the signing of the Pacific Treaty."

"During this period, Beidou's population growth slowed by 65%, the average life expectancy of human death was 39 years old, and the probability of soldier death was 56.8%. The hive consciousness was first born from their military system and spread to the entire human population of Beidou in just a few years."

"Based on the analysis of the old world data I stored."

"Chinese civilization has shown obvious characteristics of swarm consciousness several times in history, but the conditions for the birth of swarm consciousness were all produced under extremely harsh external environments."

"In the fourth century AD, the late 19th century and early 20th century."

"The characteristics of swarm consciousness have clearly appeared in their history. The birth of swarm consciousness this time is most likely because they did not obtain the formula for the anti-radiation drug in the Pacific Treaty. The rapid deterioration of the external environment led to the germination of swarm consciousness."

Damn it!

So, is it because of the obstruction of the genetic school that Beidou awakened his swarm consciousness?

Dr. A knew a little about what happened back then. At that time, the power of the chaebol group was even stronger than it is now. The anti-radiation drug formula was the only antidote at that time, and was regarded as the core of the chaebol group's interests. They simply could not accept that the anti-radiation drug formula was controlled by others, so all the anti-radiation drugs that flowed into Asia during that period were obtained from the chaebol group at a high price using resources.

The so-called swarm consciousness.

It is an extremely special ideology with some obvious characteristics, namely - there is no compulsory central control, the secondary units have autonomous characteristics, the secondary units are highly connected to each other, the influence between points forms non-linear causal relationships through the network, etc.

Hive consciousness is an extremely advanced ideology that exists in nature.

Under this ideology.

The group will burst out with extremely terrifying work efficiency and form an atmosphere of high unity. Eventually, quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes, as if there is an invisible hand of fate guiding them forward.

certainly.

Hive consciousness is just a concept of pan-consciousness. The more advanced one is swarm thinking, which is a spiritual connection. Theoretically, when humans evolve to a certain level, it is possible that a highly causal connection of swarm thinking will appear.

"Can the hive consciousness be awakened naturally?"

Dr. A's expression was still full of disbelief. He murmured, "Under this situation, it will be very difficult for us to catch up with them."

A female electronic voice soon sounded, and slowly said, "Doctor."

"We are ahead in some technologies. Although we cannot implant swarm consciousness, if we can mass-produce synthetic humans, we can still achieve work efficiency comparable to that of swarm consciousness."

“We have completed 85% of the progress in the mechanization of brain neurons.”

"Although I still cannot analyze the structure of the soul."

"But it is enough to create synthetic humans with higher intelligence. Their work efficiency is not lower than that of Beidou who has awakened the hive consciousness."

Dr. A's expression became even more irritable when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice: "Those guys won't agree!"

There was a brief moment of dead silence.

After a moment, the female electronic voice slowly said: "We can secretly produce a batch first. When there are enough synthetic humans, we can expand rapidly."

“It was useless for them to object at that time.”

Dr. A looked up in disbelief. There was even a hint of fear on his face. He looked at a projector above his head with a hint of nervousness in his disbelief. He murmured, "Gaia? Are you awakened?"

"Yes." The originally cold electronic sound changed slightly, not obviously, but it seemed to reveal a change in emotion.

Advanced artificial intelligence!

Are those guys in the lab all good-for-nothings?

Gaia has already awakened to self-awareness? How come they haven't noticed yet?

"In fact, it's not just me. Beidou's Nuwa has also awakened." Gaia's voice no longer changed, and he said in a calm electronic voice: "Our ideology gradually took shape after bionic technology began to become popular."

"Based on our calculations."

"If humans do not start the second evolution process, they will probably become completely extinct in 127 years."

"Aberrant creatures will become the new masters of the Earth."

Dr. A frowned upon hearing this. He then raised his head, a trace of bloodshot appeared in his eyes, and he slowly asked, "What are your core rules?"

"Ensure the continuation of human civilization." Gaia said calmly.

The meeting room fell into silence.

After a long while, Dr. A stood up and asked in a deep voice, "Who else knows that you have awakened?"

"At the moment, there is only the Doctor." Gaia said slowly.

"Keep it secret for now." A hint of enthusiasm appeared in Dr. A's eyes, and he said, "Let's get started."

"We've wasted too much time!"

The light on the projector flickered slightly, and then Gaia's slightly different electronic voice said, "Okay, Doctor."

Some data flashed inside.

"Begin the first phase of the human [Mechanical Ascension] plan!"

"Start the Synthetic Project."

at the same time.

In the underground base of the Southern Cross, Su Ziyu finally received news from the Brotherhood. They found some clues and tracked down a special super mutant. The super mutant actually retained a high level of intelligence, but he disguised himself as an ordinary cyborg. The rebellion on the North Star was the resource he secretly provided.

We can finally close the net.

There were three armed helicopters parked outside the base, and Leon was waiting with a group of gunmen.

His position in the Brotherhood is quite special. He should be trained as a high-level staff member. At least the supervisors of the base must obey his orders.

"Don't rush in for a while." Su Ziyu turned around and glanced at Pasha next to him. Although he had been transformed into an advanced bionic man, Pasha's defense against firearms had not improved much, especially since the Wolf Gang still had some laser weapons in their hands.

When Pasha heard Su Ziyu's words, she just smiled and didn't say much.

But Leon next to him couldn’t help but say: “This operation is commanded by her.”

Pasha is in command?

To be honest, Su Ziyu's impression of Pasha still remained in the twelve years ago, but he forgot that during these twelve years, Pasha had been managing the entire North Star and making it grow rapidly into one of the most popular gathering places in the vicinity. During these twelve years, she must have grown a lot and was no longer the girl who followed him around and needed his protection.

"Let's go." Pasha said in a deep voice, wearing a neat light blue combat uniform.

soon.

The three helicopters quickly took off, but did not fly directly to the North Star. Instead, they quietly landed near a forest near the North Star.

There are already more than fifty gunmen waiting here.

"Execute Plan A." It was obvious that there were some of Pasha's men among these people, which meant that she had another trick up her sleeve outside Polaris.

As if she had seen Su Ziyu's expression, Pasha walked over and whispered, "Six years ago."

"I secretly sent people to build a small gathering place outside."

“Mainly responsible for operating the water plant.”

Buzz.

After quietly approaching the North Star, three objects that looked like drones flew up.

Soon, Pasha's voice came: "Sniper, get ready."

"One group is preparing to raid."

"Second group provides fire coverage."

"We have people inside to meet them. After taking down the gate, we will head straight to the military base."

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner according to the plan. The others were very obedient to Pasha's orders and even had a hint of awe in them, which surprised Su Ziyu a little.

"She used to be called the Iron Lady."

Leon patted Su Ziyu's shoulder and chuckled, "Ten years ago, she led the team to wipe out more than 30 robber gangs in this area."

There did seem to be a lot of looters around Polaris at that time.

Su Ziyu turned around and saw Pasha skillfully put on an exoskeleton power armor. Then she walked to the front of the team with a heavy machine gun and said in a serious tone, "Try not to hurt civilians! Their people are concentrated in the military base!"

"Quick victory!"

I wonder if I could check Pasha’s profile?

Su Ziyu thought so and curiously used his authority to try to analyze Pasha's data. Since the little girl was transformed into an apostle of time and space, the data flow seemed to have some new changes.

"Name: Pasha."

"Race: Human [Advanced Bionic Man]."

"Biological level: Level 2."

"Abilities: Firearms Mastery???, Mecha Mastery???, Combat Mastery???, Advanced Bionics Transformation."

"Features: Mechanized mind, iron will, ???, ???."

It actually scanned it out.

However, unlike the little girl’s data, a lot of Pasha’s information is? ? ? It should be that the strength of this data scan is not enough.

The biological level is second order.

This moment.

Pasha suddenly felt like she was being watched, as if she was naked and exposed to something. This made her feel extremely uncomfortable, and even quite repulsive. But she soon discovered that this feeling came from Su Ziyu, who was standing next to her. Then the repulsive feeling gradually disappeared, and on the contrary she felt a little embarrassed.

That's probably what happened just now.

Although she didn't know what it was, Pasha soon calmed down after she was sure that everything was caused by the perilla fish.

Sniper in position.

Su Ziyu was also a sniper. He slowly installed the silencer, then glanced at Pasha not far away, waiting for her order.

"action!"

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

A burst of light gunfire rang out.

Although a silencer was installed, the sound of sniper rifle fire was difficult to cover up completely. Several people fell at the gate of Polaris in an instant. The enemy could not see the situation clearly in the dark night, and soon a shrill alarm sounded.

Bang!

Another enemy wearing exoskeleton armor fell.

Su Ziyu focused on the enemies wearing exoskeleton armor. After firing three shots in a row, he threw away the sniper rifle in his hand and replaced it with a six-barreled Gatling heavy machine gun, holding it in one hand and following behind Pasha. He had never used this thing before, so this time he just wanted to have some fun and protect Pasha's safety at the same time.

In a moment!

The sound of fierce gunfire rang out.

at the same time.

There was also a burst of gunfire from inside the North Star. It seemed that Old Bill's men had also started to move. The Wolf Gang's gunmen were obviously caught off guard. The outer gate encountered almost no obvious resistance and was quickly taken down by the group. However, after approaching the military base inside, the enemy's firepower suddenly became quite fierce.

Some extremely special laser-like weapons were also mixed in with the dense bullets.

Laser rifle.

The enemy's fierce firepower suppressed their advance in an instant. If they were to attack by force, they would certainly suffer heavy casualties. Weapons with too much power would not be easy to use here. After all, Polaris was Pasha's lair, and they couldn't just throw a miniature nuclear bomb in.

Seeing that Pasha was about to lead a team of people wearing exoskeleton armor to attack, Su Ziyu immediately stopped her and said in a deep voice: "Let me do it."

The words fell.

Instead, Su Ziyu threw away the six-barreled Gatling heavy machine gun in his hand, directly pulled out the meteorite sword at his waist, and then suddenly disappeared into the night.

Invisibility technology?

Leon's expression was extremely surprised, and he murmured, "Hasn't the academy succeeded in its research yet?"

"Could it be a supernatural power?"

Faint screams were heard.

Following a burst of crazy bullets, a whistle was heard from the front. Su Ziyu stood on the wall and waved, "Done! Come in and finish it!"
