My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 92 The Science Fiction Bible of the 21st Century: Starry Sea

"Wait a minute..." Chu Zhu's brows suddenly furrowed. He felt as if he had forgotten something. He looked around and thought seriously. Suddenly, his pupils contracted.

"These things don't seem to be related to the changes at the Nuwa base?"

It's impossible that AI Z is about to destroy human civilization... and even later, with Skynet causing trouble... Under such dire circumstances, how could Nuwa Base possibly be built bigger and stronger?

Does this make sense?!

To be honest, Chu Zhu deduced that the Nuwa Base was so big that its very existence was a miracle... Given that a portion of its industry had been destroyed and a large number of people had been lost, it would have been normal for the base to be wiped out by the butterfly effect!

"Nuwa No. 17," Chu Zhu asked the most pressing question with a serious expression, "who was your builder? Or to put it another way, which organization or company built you? Who built your base?"

"Civilization Continuation Artificial Intelligence, codename Nuwa! Construction company: Shenzhou State-owned Artificial Intelligence Co., Ltd.! Z Intelligence Co., Ltd."

"The base's construction planners are: the Fourth Construction Bureau of the State Construction Engineering Corporation, the Eighth Construction Bureau of the State Construction Engineering Corporation, and Z Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd."

"Nuwa's creation time: 21..."

Chu Zhu: "..."

Chu Zhu didn't pay attention to the busy message display after the message was retracted; he just stared blankly at the name Z Intelligent Co., Ltd.

This company is still alive in the 22nd century? That's incredible!

Chu Zhu felt a chill run down his spine. He was burdened with the enormous accusation of building a world-destroying AI, and the major shareholder being a traitor to humanity. How could it possibly survive for another 21 years?
They could even interfere in the construction of Nuwa's base for human survival...

“Nuwa No. 17,” Chu Zhu suddenly realized something, “tell me about the changes in Z Company’s shareholding at different times! Especially tell me about the changes after Zhao Shao’s death.”

then……

Chu Zhu then saw it.

Zhao Shao (holding 21% of shares) → Zhao Qianqian (holding 21% of shares) → Chen Buqun (holding 1.2% of shares / acting as the voting agent for Zhao Qianqian, the company's second largest shareholder) → State-owned Artificial Intelligence Co., Ltd.

Chu Zhu (36% stake) → Lin Xia (36% stake) → State-owned Artificial Intelligence Company Limited.

"I see..." Chu Zhu finally understood. Zhao Qianqian could tell from the name that she was most likely Zhao Shao's daughter? Or some other relative?
Lin Xia... well, that goes without saying!

The only way to obtain Chu Zhu's shares is that Chu Zhu wrote a will beforehand, or that he gave the shares to Lin Xia in advance before he started doing something big with Z... As for why, perhaps it was because Z Company was no longer needed at that time?
Of course, it's also possible that another Chu Zhu is orchestrating some kind of scheme. As for why it's for her best friend instead of having a child herself—Chu Zhu can understand that—firstly, given the huge commotion Z has caused, having a child there would likely lead to a bad end for the child. Secondly, it's unlikely the child would receive official recognition as inheriting Z Company!

On the other hand, even without considering this, Chu Zhu now knows about the end of the world, and even the high probability of human extinction! Moreover, the time of extinction is imminent—under such circumstances, the birth of a child is still a torment.

"This is giving me a headache!" Chu Zhu pondered repeatedly. He had far too little information. So much so that he understood his other self might have done a lot... but he had absolutely no idea what exactly he had done!
"So, how many years has passed now?!" Chu Zhu was truly desperate. If even the time was uncertain, how could they transmit information across such a long period of time? It was just too difficult.

Although Chu Zhu didn't know what Lin Xia had done, it might be related to the Nuwa Base? In the end, Z Company was completely nationalized.

It's no wonder that Company Z was ultimately able to participate in the construction of the base and the Nuwa AI project.

"Nuwa No. 17, reveal Lin Xia's information!"

Name: Lin Xia! Date of Birth: April 3, 20**

"Brief introduction: A trusted friend of Chu Zhu, a traitor to humanity! At a critical moment, he resolutely used the authority granted to him by Chu Zhu to manipulate Z Company to stand on the side of humanity! At the same time, according to the equity agreement written by Chu Zhu, he acquired all of Chu Zhu's shares afterward! He unconditionally supported the construction of the Divine Continent civilization, and at the end of his life, he donated all of his Z Company shares to the country!"

"His only request before his death was that if the future Shenzhou decides to establish the Jinghai City Civilization Continuation Base, the construction requirements should be raised as much as possible! At the same time, he pleaded that Chu Zhu's honor and citizenship be restored... and that Chu Zhu be buried back in his ancestral grave in his hometown!"

"This condition has been rejected."

“…Lin Xia, you bastard!” Chu Zhu pursed his lips. Even though the information showed betrayal, he wasn't angry. He wasn't stupid; he could naturally see that it was all part of the plan… Just from his dying plea, he knew that Chu Zhu must have mentioned the base in Jinghai City to him—

The question is, what exactly is this plan...?

"It seems that, according to the original plan, my access to Nuwa 17 should be very high! It contains a lot of information that is useful to me... It's a pity that if Lin Xia could live until the moment Nuwa is truly completed, there might be a turning point! After all, having lived for so many years and controlling Z Company, his influence at the top level cannot be low!"

Chu Zhu looked at Lin Xia's death date—March 17, 1975!

To be honest, the date March 17th surprised Chu Zhu for a moment. If he remembered correctly, this seemed to be... his own death date on this timeline?
"While we can't say we died in the same year... we could at least say we died on the same day of the same month, right?"

“Hajisha! And Hajishao! You two are really…”

Chu Zhu shook his head. He sat on the soft bed constructed by Nuwa No. 17 for a long, long time, thinking for a while, before finally lying back on it. He stared at the strange, seemingly constantly rotating spheres on the ceiling!

After half an hour.

Chu Zhu finally felt relieved. He forced himself to cheer up and said, "Forget it! I'll just learn from this experience... Life will be better next time."

Patting his cheeks, Chu Zhu's gaze sharpened. "Nuwa Seventeen, please show me the complete source code of Lingdong Star, as well as the initial source code of Lingdong Star!" "Starting data retrieval. You do not have permission to view!"

"?" Chu Zhu belatedly realized, oh yeah, it seems... his citizen rights have been deleted! What's the point of looking at the patent now?

"What can I watch now?" Chu Zhu asked gravely. This time when I go back, I absolutely have to get him transferred back... otherwise, things will get really messy!
"You can now watch free novels, free music, free movies... and if you want, you can also play some free games! Of course, if you're willing to use a data emulator, you can also play MOBO games like Honor of Kings while I control other heroes..."

"So, all I can do now is play?" Chu Zhu shook her head, both amused and exasperated. "Fine, since it's already like this, then let's play."

"Nuwa No. 17, bring it all out! Bring out all the novels I can read... No..."

Chu Zhu suddenly thought of something, her eyes lighting up, "Nuwa No. 17, from the time she started writing in 2006 until the internet was cut off in 2045, all the novels in your database! Arranged from top to bottom according to how much money they made! This money includes online sales, book sales, and copyright sales..."

Chu Zhu suddenly realized that it wasn't just singing and becoming a superstar that could make money. Writing novels seemed like a similar way to rake in the cash?

After all, Chu Zhu had heard of countless novels selling for tens of millions of yuan. In particular, many books had copyrights worth nearly a hundred million yuan…enough to live off for many years!
Copying three or five books... okay, online novels, each with several million words! It's incredibly difficult to copy them. But are there any shorter books that can still make a lot of money?
Chu Zhu felt that such books might be rare, but there should be some.

Then, Chu Zhu's expression froze.

Of the top ten, five are online novels, three of which are male-oriented. The other two are female-oriented—and female-oriented novels are characterized by their shorter word count!
"Does this mean I have to copy..."

Chu Zhu was shaken. At that moment, countless classic plots from female-oriented novels flashed through her mind—including, but not limited to, the Lang* list where hundreds of thousands of frontier soldiers were tricked to death, the empress who sent a prince to the grasslands for a political marriage, and…

This money can be made... but it seems that if you make this money, you'll ruin your reputation in your later years!

Chu Zhu looked over with difficulty, then his body stopped, and he stared thoughtfully at the other five non-online novels on the top ten list.

One is traditional foreign literature.

There are two more... judging from the names, they seem a bit like Harry Potter and Twilight?

But the remaining two—

"Starry Sea...and Starry Sea: A Detailed Explanation!"

What kind of bird is this?

"Nuwa No. 17, let me see these two books!"

Then, when Chu Zhu unfolded the two books, he was stunned. To his surprise… these two books weren't novels; they were more like… popular science? Fables? Or something else entirely?
Chu Zhu watched intently, completely absorbed in it... Before she knew it, she had finished watching!
"This starry sea seems somewhat similar to the timeline of the wheelchair-bound war god, Huo?"

Chu Zhu's heart was stirred. They all used simple language, so easy for ordinary people to understand, to introduce one profound academic concept after another…

Chu Zhu finally clicked on the detailed explanation of the Star Sea.

Then it was confirmed... this wasn't suitable for him to see.

The word count of Xinghai is 110,000 words... but the word count of Xinghai's detailed explanation is a full 370,000 words.

Xinghai Explained: A Detailed Explanation of the Many Theories Proposed by Xinghai. Although Xinghai introduced many famous scientific theories in language that ordinary people can understand, it is obviously unrealistic to expect Xinghai to be very in-depth. Xinghai Explained: A Detailed Explanation of the Many Theories Proposed by Xinghai is an effective supplement.

It mainly involves mathematics and physics! Many of them even involve conjectures about the starry sky, dark matter, and antimatter! In fact, some of these conjectures have been solved, with extremely detailed arguments provided.

Anyway, after reading for a long time, Chu Zhu found that he could understand Xinghai and even enjoyed it... but as he read the detailed explanation of Xinghai, he began to have doubts:
Where is he? What is he doing? Why is he looking at this thing?
Damn it, this detailed explanation even includes huge chunks of all sorts of academic papers...

However, these papers all have cited names, so they were probably not created by this author alone!

In the end, after Chu Zhu finished memorizing the Star Sea, he forced himself to read the 150,000-word detailed explanation of the Star Sea. With his extraordinary memory, he memorized it all. Then, he couldn't read any more and exited the reading interface.

Damn it, this detailed explanation of the Star Sea... he actually managed to memorize it just like he did when he memorized the Spiritual Star Algorithm.

Just outrageous!
Those letters, numbers, and special symbols... Chu Zhu felt that she would never forget them in her life.

"No wonder, Star Sea ranks second in sales! But this Star Sea Explanation ranks tenth... It's already incredible that it can sell so many! It must be riding on the popularity of Star Sea, plus this thing is high-end, so people buy it to show off... That's why it can sell so many!"

"Hmm, never mind, Xinghai only has about 100,000 words, yet it's been the second best-selling book for over 20 years... with global sales of over 200 million copies, that must have earned at least several hundred million, right? And the unit might even be knights? Or even higher? That's the one!"

"And this book is quite sophisticated... The only problem is that it uses many languages, and the language usage seems to be from foreign countries! Is it a translated book? Let me see..."

Chu Zhu glanced at the writer, and his previously casual gaze froze.

He had seen this author before because of his name.

James Raven!

Or rather... the chief scientist of the European and American Skynet Group!
