The mechanic.

Several engineers in the Biocomputer Research Center had talked with Zhang Xun several times, and when they saw Zhang Xun rushing past with a strange young man, they waved their hands curiously.

"Are you looking for Engineer Tian? She's out of town today." The engineer Zheng Chengmin, who had been transformed into a machine body from the neck down, smiled at Zhang Xun in a friendly way, and his eyes naturally fell on Pan.

Zhang Xun decently responded with the same polite smile, "This is my newly recruited assistant, Patrick Colin."

Pan Yang raised a standard smile that was too symmetrical, and stretched out his hand, "Hello."

Zheng Chengmin didn't see the weirdness, and held Pan's hand, "Hello, Zheng Chengmin. I didn't expect you to be Zhang's mechanic's assistant at such a young age."

Zhang Xun took the initiative to take up the conversation, "My biological computer has grown slowly recently, so I want to ask what may be the reason for this situation."

"Slow? Can you show me the log of the last week?"

Zhang Xun was well prepared, took out his tablet computer and began to skillfully demonstrate the Log modified by him and Pan.Zheng Chengmin slid the page with his fingers, quickly browsed the records of various data changes, and frowned slightly.

"It may be because it was injected with a complex AI program when it was not yet mature, causing the growth hormone to stop secreting. I can re-inject HGH into it. But we are developing a new type of biological computer recently. If you are interested, you can Come take a look with me."

"A new type of biological computer?"

"That's right, the genetic mutation rate in the lobby outside is too high, and the controllability is too low. It often grows and starts to form a biological system, causing the entire computer to be scrapped. We later designed a new DNA molecule Structure, can increase their growth rate by four times, increase their information storage rate by two times, and have a certain self-repair and healing ability, and the probability of mutation is also reduced by 70.00% compared to the original. Engineer Tian intends to transfer Phoenix and Morning Star to these Inside the new type of biological computer. But we haven’t told Phoenix yet, for fear that it might try to interfere with the modification of the DNA code and cause unknowable problems.”

Zhang Xun opened his eyes slightly, showing a surprised expression, "I didn't expect you to make it so soon. Can you show us?"

"Of course! If you want to put your AI into such a computer, you can apply to the above. You have helped us so much, and they will definitely agree."

Zheng Chengmin enthusiastically led Zhang Xun and Pan through the spotless corridor to a double metal door with chip patterns spreading across it.After the engineer scanned his fingerprint and card, the door opened, and the color of the greenish ocean poured out.

In the wide hall, strings of bubbles rise from time to time in the blue-green seawater-like liquid in the five cylindrical containers. In the dim light, the black mass remains motionless.

Different from the irregular shape of the computer outside, the shape of the black lumps here tends to be the same. At first glance, it looks like a bird with open wings.But when you get closer, you will find that this flying bird has no head and no feathers. The muscle tissue pulls long tendons to weave each other, like a chrysalis.In the middle is another kind of texture of meat, somewhat like gray matter, wrinkled and undulating, but it is not the same as the brain, more like a ball of crumpled cloth.

This "flying bird", which has no life and can only carry data, is trapped in the middle by dense pipelines, as if it wants to soar into the sky but fails.Those naked red flesh and blood even carried a bit of sadness.

It's just like a nightmare.

However, the computers in the five cultivations all tended to be the same, indicating that these engineers have become more and more sophisticated in controlling the growth of biological computers.

"It will be completely completed in about two days. At that time, one of them will be given to Phoenix, one will be given to Morning Star, and the other two will be vacated for the Ascension Project." Zheng Chengmin said, looking at Zhang Xun meaningfully.

Since Zhang Xun used nano-robots to heal the prisoners who raided the arsenal, many people seemed to agree that he would help complete the Ascension Plan.And Zhang Xun has been strengthening this impression on them.

"What about the other one?"

"Standby. So I said, if you want, you can apply to the above."

Pan has already started to walk in front of each computer, curiously browsing the constantly refreshed growth log in the projected AR screen image.Zhang Xun glanced at Pan, met his eyes for a moment, and nodded meaningfully.Then Zhang Xun deliberately walked near the DNA design model on the other side and began to ask various very challenging technical questions.

Zheng Chengmin, who was concentrating on discussing the problem with Zhang Xun, didn't notice that Pan Xun opened the injection information page and quickly entered a few lines of AI language in it.

Just a few lines of code are like a drop in the ocean in front of tens of thousands of lines of code that will be written, and no one will notice.Even Fenghuang and Chenxing might find it hard to notice.

But when they are put into these computers, the "magic" really starts to work.

Compared with directly communicating with Phoenix and Morningstar and trying to invade them while risking being counter-invaded, Zhang Xun believes that it is safer to open a gap first.Living in Feather Snake City during this time, he noticed that Feather Snake City did not trust AI as much as it seemed, Phoenix was subject to many restrictions, and Morning Star was purely a service function.A large part of the operation of this extremely ultra-modern city still depends on people.

As long as there are people, there will be mistakes.

............................................................

In the early hours of the morning, more than a dozen figures hurried past under the cover of those crooked buildings.They stop and go, and sometimes they even need to crawl across the ground on their stomachs.A slight mistake will be captured by ubiquitous cameras, which will attract the attention of Pan or Adam.

They are a group of fugitives from the sixth district, including workers in artificial food factories, tailors, blacksmiths, small vendors who resell contraband, cleaning staff, and teenagers who are still a few years old... A group of people who have almost nothing in common, Decided to try to escape Paradise Lost that night.

They were not the first to try to escape.More and more people choose to connect to the consciousness cloud——Tianyu, and more and more people are eager to get that sense of belonging, that kind of being in the world after seeing the ability that people they know can get after connecting to Tianyu. The sense of strength in the collective, the sense of transcendence of seeing different places anytime, anywhere as if having superpowers, gaining knowledge that one has never learned, or using one’s own thoughts to influence people who have never met in another urban area...

There is almost a certain essential difference between the uploader and the non-uploader, and you can recognize it with a little observation on the street.The eyes of the uploader are like cameras, observing everything around them in a detached way.Their actions, including walking postures and the way they treat people, are somewhat standardized, lacking some small movements that ordinary people would have.As the number of uploaders increases, occasionally there will be odd scenes of many individuals performing the same action at the same time.

People who used to like to laugh stopped laughing, people who used to like to drink in clubs stopped going out, and people who liked to eat junk food suddenly started eating vegetarian meals.The uploaders observe their relatives and friends, and share everything they see and hear with all consciousnesses on the cloud at all times.They began to judge the behavior of those who did not upload, began to distinguish uploaders from non-uploaders, and even regarded those who did not undergo reformation as "dangerous", because no one knew what was going on in those people's minds.They begin to despise physical pleasures and begin to spend their days in their own rooms, wandering infinitely in the cloud of consciousness, influenced by endless thoughts and emotions.

Then others began to feel fear.

They see that the relatives and friends they know seem to be different people after uploading, or even no longer look like people.

They don't want to lose their privacy, they don't want to share everything about themselves.People with similar fears were initially separated, because no one dared to speak out their thoughts casually, for fear of being heard by nearby uploaders and remembered by the entire consciousness cloud.But people can always find opportunities to communicate.

This group of people tried to escape from the sewer, because from the fragments of news they collected, they knew that Zhang Xun, Adam's former mechanic, escaped from the sewer.They planned for more than a week, collected the installation positions and rotation frequencies of all cameras on the road, and waited until the night of this day to act.They almost succeeded, and the entrance to the sewer was just a dozen meters ahead.

However, in the distance of the last dozen or so meters, suddenly bright lights shone on them, and several extended robots suddenly appeared. Obviously, they were a batch of newly-manufactured robots using the stealth technology designed by Zhang Xun. It blends in with the surrounding environment without being noticeable at all.

A dozen fugitives were besieged in panic, shivering under the strong light.The leading miner hugged his crying child and begged the robot against his fear, "Let us go! It's useless for us to stay here. We promise not to talk nonsense outside!"

At this time, an extended robot moves forward a few meters, and a beam of light speed shoots out from the AR projection hole on its top.The 3D image of Adam appeared in front of the fugitives. He sat on a metal chair and slowly raised his head, as if he was on the throne examining the defected subjects. Every time a pair of ethereal blue eyes swept across a face, the expression of that face The master felt a sense of fear that he was about to be crushed into ashes.

Before Zhang Xun left, no one realized how terrible Adam was.They thought that as long as they were trapped in human bodies, gods lost their power.

When God saves them and brings convenience to their lives, they almost forget that what God can give them can also be taken back at any time.

"Why run away?" Adam's expression was calm and his tone was gentle.

"My son is only 11 years old. I don't want him to be uploaded before he has seen the world!" The lead miner replied desperately, as if waiting for the next second to be burned by the death ray shot by the extending robot ash.

Adam sighed and said, "I didn't force any of you to upload your consciousness. All uploaders are voluntary."

"But do we really have a choice?" Another shop owner asked with a bit of resentment, "Those uploaders...they are everywhere! They are watching us all the time, recording our every move in the On the cloud. My younger brother also uploaded it and became a part of them, so I dare not go home now!"

"My boyfriend is also connected to the consciousness cloud. I don't even dare to take off my clothes in front of him, because I don't know how many people are watching us!"

"Walking on the road, people I don't know will suddenly scold me, saying that I am not filial and considerate to my father."

People complained, fear gradually turned into resentment.Adam could still feel it from a distance of several city districts.

Adam looked at everyone, pondered for a moment, and said, "If you don't want to live with the uploader, I can separate you. You can continue to live your previous life."

A voice shouted angrily, "Are you going to put us in a concentration camp?!"

Concentration camp, a horrible and evil name.

Adam frowned, "No, I won't restrict your freedom of movement. You can still choose to stay where you are. But sorry, I can't let you go."

But people were still dissatisfied, they yelled, cursed, begged, and refused to be satisfied no matter what.Adam sighed, and ordered the extension robot to send them to a nearby guard to collect information, and then escort them back to their original homes.

In view of the gradual intensification of conflicts between uploaders and ordinary people, Adam has begun to redeploy the population distribution of different urban areas.He intends to clear out about six districts for non-uploaders and four for uploaders.While it might take a lot of work to force people to move, he knew that any further mixing would soon lead to riots.

From the very beginning, Adam knew that when human beings differentiated, when some humans choose to evolve while others choose to stay where they are, there will definitely be serious divisions, more serious than any previous class divisions.Although separation is not the best way, it is the most effective way in the short term.

When the consciousness cloud begins to spread to the ordinary world, the conflicts it will face will be even more severe.If it is not handled properly, war is likely to break out.That war may be between uploaders and non-uploaders, or it may be between Eden and the entire human race.

Adam knew he needed to do everything in his power to prevent this from happening.
