It's reasonable for me to have a two-way foil for a second-level civilization, right?

"Compared to the previous few times, your brain has evolved again during this time."

While Lv Yongchang was flipping through the documents, Dr. Wen's explanation sounded again.

"evolution?"

Lu Yongchang's eyes moved slightly, and he quickly grasped the key point of Dr. Wen's words, and asked in a low voice, "In what direction is it evolving?"

"There is no definite research result." Dr. Wen frowned and shook his head slowly, "But it should belong to a kind of beneficial evolution."

"At least, at present, your brain activity is much higher than that of normal humans, and your thinking speed and memory are also much higher than normal people."

Lu Yongchang breathed a sigh of relief, and put down the documents in his hand.

"Since it is a beneficial evolution, then don't worry about it."

"Maybe, maybe one day I will become a new human being."

Lu Yongchang said jokingly.

Dr. Wen didn't have the slightest smile on his face, he just frowned and looked at Lu Yongchang's... brain.

"Although it is a beneficial evolution, compared with the past, your brain changes significantly faster during this period."

Speaking of this, Dr. Wen shook his head in distress: "Could it be because of external stimuli?"

"It doesn't make sense. We live in the same place and have similar diets. Why is there such an abnormal change?"

Lu Yongchang's eyebrows jumped slightly.

He did know why.

During this period of time, the number of times he overclocked with the help of the technology tree system has increased a lot.

Although it is not clear where the technology tree system is until now, but...

After all, this should be the external stimulus that Dr. Wen was talking about, right?

"Cough cough."

Lu Yongchang coughed twice, and quickly changed the topic: "Can I be discharged from the hospital now?"

"Discharged?" Dr. Wen glanced at Lu Yongchang in surprise, "Of course."

"All the inspections that should be done have been done, and it is the same as before, and there is no reason at all."

"Of course, if you are willing to do a craniotomy, I might be able to help you find..."

"No, no, excuse me." Lu Yongchang's complexion changed drastically, and he hurriedly sat up from the bed, tearing off the various sensor electrodes attached to his body.

"Just kidding." Doctor Wen looked at Lu Yongchang with a half-smile on his face, and said again.

"There is a suggestion, of course, that has no basis, just a hunch."

"Tell me." Lu Yongchang stopped packing his things and ran away, and asked seriously.

After deliberating for a while, Dr. Wen slowly said, "Although I don't know what happened to you."

"However, this forced evolution has some damage to the human brain."

"No, more precisely, it damages the brains of all carbon-based organisms."

Hearing this, Lu Yongchang's expression suddenly became serious.

"Is the injury serious?"

"Can it recover by itself?"

Doctor Wen was silent for a long time, then shook his head with a troubled expression.

"I am not sure."

"Historically, neither animals nor humans have ever found a similar situation."

"According to the current situation, this slight injury can be recovered on its own."

"Otherwise you won't be able to stand here and talk to me."

Several black lines suddenly appeared on Lu Yongchang's forehead.

Rough words are not rough.

"Perhaps... maybe it's not an injury..." Dr. Wen murmured to himself in a very low voice with a look of thought in his eyes.

"What?" Lu Yongchang subconsciously asked.

"It's okay." Dr. Wen seemed to have thought of something, waved his hands lacking interest, turned around and was about to leave, "Remember to close the door for me when you go out."

Lu Yongchang: "..."

I didn't hear all the words, and I always felt that there were ants crawling in my heart.

……

After Lu Yongchang left, Dr. Wen quickly returned to his desk, and then stretched out his hand to open the folded holographic screen.

On the screen are several brain scans.

One of the scans looked extremely weird.

Unlike normal brain images, there is a small vacancy in the central area of ​​the brain in this scan.

It's like there is no object at all in this area.

But this strange phenomenon only appeared for a moment, and the scanned image quickly returned to its normal appearance.

At first, Dr. Wen thought it was a malfunction of the equipment and didn't take it to heart.

until just now.

A conversation with Lu Yongchang made her realize a problem.

Perhaps, this is not an instrument failure?

She frowned, reached out and called out every item of data during the inspection, and looked through it carefully.

Time passed little by little.

The expression on her face gradually became strange.

"This is……"

"Material energy?"

Dr. Wen was shocked by the result she deduced, she muttered to herself: "How is it possible..."

The next moment, she raised her hand and waved away the holographic projection above the desk.

"Zero, as before, seal up the results of this inspection."

"receive."

……

Lu Yongchang, who left the medical center, quickly recalled the inspiration he got during the "overclocking" process.

He pondered for a moment, then changed his original route.

He decided to go to the biology laboratory first.

To complete that plan, the research results of the biological laboratory may be the most important thing.

"Zero, what's going on in the biology lab?" Lu Yongchang asked in a deep voice.

As Lu Yongchang's voice fell, a virtual image constructed of countless particles slowly emerged beside him.

"Professor, are you referring to the human enhancement program?"

"Of course." Lu Yongchang nodded in confirmation.

Zero's virtual image quickly "floats" in the corridor, following Lu Yongchang's footsteps.

"As of now, the experimental personnel in the gravity chamber are living in good condition, and no sequelae have been found."

Lu Yongchang nodded with satisfaction: "Very good."

"Is Mao Zhengzhi in the lab?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, Lu Yongchang quickened his pace a little and headed straight for the biology laboratory.

"correct."

Approaching the gate of the biology laboratory, Lu Yongchang suddenly thought of something.

He paused, stopped in place, and slightly narrowed his eyes to look at the avatar beside him.

"When I fainted, was it the medical staff you called?"

Without any hesitation, Zero admitted directly: "Yes, I detected abnormal fluctuations in your vital signs at that time..."

Lu Yongchang interrupted Ling's words: "This conflicts with the order I gave you, doesn't it?"

"Yes." Contrary to Lv Yongchang's expectation, Zero admitted again bluntly.

"Then you..." Lu Yongchang's narrowed eyes shone with unknown meaning.

"Depending on the underlying code, I can temporarily change instructions in situations where the creator's life is or could be in danger."

"Orders can only be changed in the direction of the creator."

Zero's electronic synthesizer sounded in the empty corridor.

Chapter 460 Ice Giant Planet

long silence.

Lu Yongchang narrowed his eyes again, carefully observing the avatar in front of him.

Low-level code again.

The underlying code at the beginning, until now, he still can't figure out how it works.

Let alone understanding what's in the underlying code.

However, there is good news.

At least judging from this incident, the underlying code is on its side.

In addition to restricting the zero-birth emotion and becoming a so-called "super artificial intelligence", it can also protect the creator's life as much as possible in an emergency.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Zero did not deceive himself.

"Zero, will you cheat?"

Lu Yongchang asked abruptly.

"I will not deceive the creator." Zero replied sternly, "According to the underlying logic, I cannot conceal and deceive the creator to any degree."

He quickly sensed the meaning behind this sentence.

"What about the others?"

"On the premise that it is beneficial to the creator, I will implement a certain degree of concealment and deception."

Lu Yongchang nodded thoughtfully.

Although it is not clear whether this is true or not, since Zero said so, he can only choose to believe it if he does not understand the underlying code.

He stepped forward again, and the closed door of the biology laboratory was slowly opened at this moment.

……

a week later.

Outside Dawn Star No. [-] city, above the giant embankment surrounding No. [-] city, a figure sat quietly.

The camera zooms in slowly.

Because of the space suit and exoskeleton, the figure looks particularly strong from behind.

The camera rotates and cuts to the front.

Inside the slightly reflective glass mask was a familiar face.

As always, Hope sat on the edge of the giant embankment, quietly watching the vast ocean below his feet.

However, it is different from a few years ago.

The ocean at this time is not blue.
