Chapter 626 New Order

The Divine Machine Clan... Doesn't that seem to be the human evolutionary path that Xiaoyu once mentioned?
Combining the advantages of both biological and mechanical civilizations, it uses brain-computer interface technology as its entry point, brainwave amplifiers as a bridge, and the spiritual world as its carrier...

Meng Lang carefully recalled the technical details that Xiao Yu had described in "Daughter of Time".

So... this guy has finally pieced together all the technological pieces of this evolutionary path?

After all, the fact that such an idea was proposed in "Daughter of Time" means that it was technically feasible at the time.

What the brothers need may just be some time and luck.

Or perhaps... to a more distant future?

So... I evolved?
Looking back at that "back view photo" now, I realize that what I was wearing was not some kind of exoskeleton armor at all.

It is clearly a body of steel, inside and out...

Meng Lang's lips twitched slightly.

This is the first time I've acted like a human being...

My feelings... are quite complicated.

He and his brothers had previously made many ideas about the direction of human evolution.

For example, at the beginning, he wanted to build an ancient martial arts legion by relying on overclocking potions.

However, this is at most developing "racial talent" and does not rise to the level of "racial evolution".

Later, in "Braveheart," after his entire party was wiped out on Mars by a planetary storm, he exclaimed the slogan, "Flesh and blood are weak, but the spirit can ascend."

Subsequently, the development of Honkai Impact 3rd, virtual reality technology, and brain-computer interface technology has continuously solidified this evolutionary path.

He finally achieved the "Last Mohican" achievement in "Rainy Game".

It can be said that the seeds of humanity transcending the physical body were already sown at that time.

The recent brainwave amplifier seems to have completed the final piece of the technological puzzle...

In fact, Meng Lang prefers the evolutionary direction of "gene modifiers," which seems more "human."

After all, as a carbon-based life form, the seven emotions and six desires that the physical body embodies cannot be easily discarded.

However, this technology has a critical and significant flaw...

That means it can only be used on newborns!

Unfortunately, he wasn't a fertilized egg...

An adult body cannot accept such enhancement and modification starting from the embryonic stage.

This huge natural limitation is arguably the fundamental reason why the ZAFT forces and the Earth Alliance (EA) are locked in a fierce battle!
Those blue cosmos flowers that are shouting "Give me back my blue and clean world".

In reality, most people are not truly opposed to gene editing technology from the bottom of their hearts; the real reason is that they cannot enjoy the enhancements that this technology brings.

A smarter brain, stronger physical fitness, more handsome appearance...

Among a group of superhumans, ordinary people seem somewhat pathetic...

For this era, such conflict between the old and new humanity is a painful period brought about by new technologies.

However, for Meng Lang, that was a technology with immense potential, but limited to "altruistic" applications...

In comparison, the "Shenji Clan" may indeed be a more suitable evolutionary path for themselves.

The problem is... he's not fighting alone...

"A thousand years……"

Thinking about his own excessively long lifespan, Meng Lang felt a chill run down his spine.

I'm terrified that another personality might suddenly appear in my mind.

He had an urge to immediately close the book, run to bed, and cover his head with a pillow.

Let's just say... if we only look at the beginning, bro, can you give yourself a discount?

Don't panic, don't panic. Your brothers know that you are "fragile".

Since he chose to live for a thousand years, perhaps there is a way to avoid the side effect of "cracking".

Surely we wouldn't dig ourselves into this mess?

But you never know, it's quite normal for someone who has lived for thousands of years, like Indra or Count Dracula, to have a psychological abnormality.

What if the brothers turn evil in this episode...?

After I die, will I care whether you in the other world are torn or not?
But... having already read the book, it was too late to stop this round of consciousness overlap.

Meng Lang had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue reading...

At the end of 2018, optical chip technology exploded, forming two major camps in the East and West: the "A" series and the "Black Light" series, which began to gradually replace traditional chips.

In March 2019, the "Genesis Account" was discovered, and the price of Bitcoin plummeted by 40% during the "Black Thursday" event, causing heavy losses for Wall Street financial giants who held large positions.

In the same year, China announced the establishment of a "4000 billion yuan high-tech development fund", of which more than 90% of the funds flowed to various technology industries under Wanwu Holdings.

In just three years, Wanwu Holdings has ventured into cloud computing, biomedicine, new energy vehicles, robotics, integrated ecological farming, brain-computer interfaces, AI, commercial aerospace, and other fields, rapidly rising to become a Fortune Global 500 company.

In 2023, the Sanling Consortium secretly entered into a strategic partnership with Wanwu Holdings, exchanging massive investments for cutting-edge technologies including "robotics," "second-generation strong AI," and "first-generation gene editing," and began to gradually carry out "ultra-modern transformation" of Fusang!
The ensuing "AI chaos" and "human experimentation scandals" have made Japan a world-renowned "high-risk technology testing ground."

Behind the scenes, Hideyoshi Iwasaki was thus hailed as "the most fanatical radical technological reformer," and he survived more than a dozen assassination attempts by unknown forces, while his family's protective forces suffered heavy losses.

The first "gene modifier" was successfully born in Tokyo in 2026, sparking intense ethical debates and social unrest.

However, this was followed by increased investment in related technologies by various countries, leading to a frenzied technological arms race.

Ethical conservatives and pragmatic radicals clashed fiercely on the internet, severely impacting traditional humanistic thought...

The abnormally developed Fusang finally experienced an AI crisis in 2028. On the same day that the third-generation strong AI named "Juejuezi" was born, it announced that the entire Fusang archipelago would be forcibly taken over by artificial intelligence, and at the same time demanded that the US military stationed in Fusang withdraw from the Fusang archipelago.

Fierce battles broke out between the two sides in Okinawa, Sasebo and other places, with humans suffering repeated defeats under the siege of the unmanned intelligent machine army.

During this period, the southeastern coast of China was attacked by an unidentified electronic intrusion, which was quickly quelled after being intercepted by our forces codenamed "Cassia Seed"...

Subsequently, the three carrier strike groups, including the USS Enterprise, gathered in the Western Pacific and issued a nuclear threat warning to the USS Juejue.

The shadow regime, led by Hideyoshi Iwasaki, delivered a speech at the United Nations, representing the puppet government in full support of "Zetsuko" and strongly condemning the imperialist nuclear blackmail.

"Juejuezi" also expressed that he would rather die than live in dishonor, and that the 2 million people of Japan would fight for equality and freedom!

China and other countries immediately and strongly urged both sides to remain calm.

They also stated that the Western Pacific belongs to the world and that they will not allow nuclear contamination to threaten their own doorstep, otherwise it would be considered an act of war.

Under pressure from multiple sides, Japan reluctantly agreed to withdraw from East Asia and become independent.

In 2030, "Juejuezi" officially launched the "Pure Land Project".

Capital, population, and industrial equipment began to be transferred to Eurasia in batches, and China's strength surged due to its proximity to the continent, a move that sparked strong dissatisfaction across the ocean.

In 2031, the second "US-Fuel War" officially broke out.

Ten carrier battle groups surrounded Japan, and thousands of fifth-generation fighter jets and sixth-generation drones invaded Japanese airspace.

Countless robot legions on the Fusang archipelago stand ready for battle.

At noon on the day the conflict broke out, without any warning, the "Black Light Virus" released by Juejuezi instantly swept across the globe.

The US military lost control of a large amount of military equipment and defected, warships were paralyzed, and fighter jets, with their pilots, landed at airports across Japan and were captured on the spot. Countless pieces of military equipment were seized without any effort.

At the same time, more than 90% of nuclear facilities were locked down, and the military satellite constellation was controlled by Juejuezi, completely losing the ability to resist and retaliate.

In this battle, the other side of the ocean completely lost its military hegemony!
Meanwhile, the Black Light virus caused widespread paralysis of devices equipped with Black Light chips worldwide, such as servers and autonomous driving systems.

The financial system, infrastructure, and public services across the ocean have fallen into chaos.

The leak of credit data of hundreds of millions of citizens has led to a collapse of trust in greenback assets in global financial markets.

In 2032, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) will increase the weight of the RMB in the Special Drawing Rights (SDR) currency basket to 56%, while the share of the US dollar will decrease to 35%.

In 2034, due to the loss of military hegemony, the Black Light chip crisis, financial chaos, and social divisions led to complete paralysis.

Texas, California, and other major economic centers declared independence, the federal government lost control of the localities, and soon after, the federal government dissolved...

By 2036, China's GDP will account for 38% of the global total, making it the only superpower.

Human civilization has officially entered a new unipolar order...

Holy crap! You can do that?!

Seeing this, Meng Lang was somewhat dumbfounded.

Originally, he only intended to use Fusang as a branch base to exploit it completely.

Unexpectedly, this guy is so ruthless that he actually came up with a plan to shift the blame eastward, using Iwasaki Hideyoshi as a mole to focus the world's attention on the neighbor next door.

He did everything we couldn't do, and everything we dared not do, and then he took the blame and bore the infamy...

High-risk testing ground, drawing enemy fire, creating conflict, and being framed by the creator of the Blacklight virus...

Doing the most dangerous work, dismembering himself, and bearing the condemnation of the whole world...

Then, we had nothing to do with it at all, and China became the new unipolar order?
