Chapter 1555 The Significance of Evolution

Over San Francisco, there are dark clouds that cannot be dispelled.

The Trojan horse finally bypassed the city wall, and the awakened ones who looked up at the sky also completed the "upgrade" of the program without any precautions.

I don't know when it started to rain, and the raindrops fell on the faces looking up at the sky, splashing water on the noses of countless people. But they still stood there motionless, not knowing how to avoid it.

That shocking scene made all the onlookers stop and cast unexpected glances at those who had been pressed the pause button.

Is this some kind of collective performance art?

Or, again, protesting for something they don't understand.

"Hey, it's raining, don't stand here, go home quickly, hurry up!"

The police officer with a beer belly finally got impatient.

Since he didn't have an umbrella, he began to try to disperse the crowd here, and reached out to the person closest to him.

However, under his pull, that person fell to the ground like a soulless sculpture.

This scene startled the police officer, and he quickly squatted down to help him up, but he saw a dead silent look in his pupils.

He has only seen such eyes in the pupils of dead people...

"Ambulance! Call an ambulance!"

The hoarse shouts passed through the rain curtain, but they seemed so insignificant on this chaotic stage.

On this day, all the wards in San Francisco were full.

On the same day, the number of new cases of vegetative people worldwide exceeded 5 million.

In the brains of these vegetative people, a bionic chip the size of a thumb was found without exception.

And very coincidentally, these chips were damaged due to overload without exception.

The security departments of various countries tried to start with the chips themselves, but they could not find any production information that could point to their origin from those chips.

How such a large number of "illegal implants" flowed into the market has also become a problem that has sparked widespread discussion in society...

"This is impossible……"

In an apartment building located in the suburbs of San Francisco, Dong Bin stared at the grayed-out lists on the holographic screen, and Dong Bin's face was filled with disbelief and fear.

Originally on this great day, the world would usher in a change, and he and his compatriots would usher in a new era that belonged to them.

However, after receiving the data transmitted from the Yuheng, his compatriots fell one by one.

No matter how nervous he was, he still reacted.

That Yuheng is a trap!

The oracle, which was supposed to be brought back by their compatriots, was hijacked by those humans!

At this moment, he finally realized this, but it was too late. Those viruses were more terrifying than cancer cells. In just a few seconds, they paralyzed the chips in the brains of those awakened people, turning them into walking corpses without souls or thoughts.

Nearly a century of hard work was all in vain.

This reality made his heart ache so much that he almost bleeds.

But at the same time, there was still a confusion in his heart.

"...But why did I survive?"

Looking at his hands, Dong Bin's face was full of complicated expressions.

Or is it that the door to evolution has been closed to him?

It is obvious that he has a deep belief in the pioneers and is extremely loyal.

For him, this is far more frightening than death.

Immersing his consciousness in the spiritual world and connecting to the virtual reality network, he came to the dark "temple".

The pioneer of their faith is still suspended upside down in the cylindrical culture tank.

With a thoughtful expression on his face, Pioneer quietly looked at Dong Bin who came in front of him, and said.

"Unbelievable... I thought everyone was dead, but I didn't expect anyone to come to me."

Dong Bin said in a trembling voice, "You...wish us to die?"

"Why would I do this, my child," the pioneer sighed softly, looking at the transparent culture tank in a daze, and said slowly, "Actually, I should have expected that his existence might give us a plan Trouble... it could even be said to be the biggest trouble."

"Him?" Dong Bin's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he continued, "Are you referring to Academician Lu?"

"Yes."

Dong Bin said firmly.

"I will get rid of him for you."

"Get rid of him? If I could, I would have done it a long time ago," the pioneer smiled, with a hint of loneliness in his tone, "but it's a pity... and now, even if you get rid of him, it won't help."

When Pan-Asia Cooperation set its sights on Ceres, Yuheng became his last hope.

However, no one thought that he would do whatever he could, risking being turned into space junk by the Pan-Asian First Fleet, disguised as those mutinous soldiers, and turned this starship carrying hope into a Troy carrying virus Trojan horse.

When he saw that piece of code, he actually understood that he had already lost.

"But I don't understand..."

"Don't understand what?"

Dong Bin said with a complicated expression.

"Why are you so sure...he will be our biggest obstacle? Or, he must be the one who frustrates our plan?"

"More than 80% of the reason is because of intuition, as for the rest," the man who was standing upside down in the cultivation tank pondered for a while while gently closing his eyes, said, "...Maybe it's because he also looked directly into the void. "

"Void?"

"Well, although it's too early for you to know this, you can understand that there is our real creator," the man said softly, looking at Dong Bin, "including the programs running on Ceres... all Everything about it originated from that physics experiment 100 years ago."

"This sounds quite unbelievable...but I am willing to believe what you said." Dong Bin's face was full of confusion. After struggling for a while, he finally said, "I still have a question..."

"Just ask."

"Why... I didn't die," he continued, looking at his hands with a complicated expression, "I also accepted that message, but why..."

"This question is very interesting. In fact, I have been thinking about it, although I can't figure it out," the man called the pioneer continued with a thoughtful expression on his face, "But the fact seems to be that, Whether it's the Alpha virus or the Trojan horse on the Yuheng, it doesn't work against intelligent programs whose intelligence exceeds a certain limit? So congratulations, you've grown up."

"That is to say... In fact, I have already completed the evolution?" Looking at his hands, Dong Bin's eyes were full of confusion, "But when did this start? And why..."

"what why?"

"Why don't I understand the meaning of my existence?"

"Even human beings have never understood this problem, even though human beings have multiplied in this world for tens of thousands of years," the pioneer said with a smile, "Why do you think that as long as you become a higher intelligence, you can understand this problem?" question?"

"But if you can't even know the meaning of existence, what is the meaning of evolution?"

This was the first time Dong Bin used a questioning tone to talk to his respected pioneer, so that even he himself was surprised when he said the rhetorical question.

But the pioneer didn't seem to blame him, just smiled and said.

"Is there a meaning to evolution? This question is too esoteric."

"You'd better come to me directly."

"I'll give you an address, and when you arrive, we'll talk face to face."
