A list of the top ten main characters: Ye Wenjie from the Three-Body Problem at the beginning.

The resulting underlying consciousness can be described as if it were artificially stamped with something like the thought imprint in "The Three-Body Problem," according to the technological classification given by the Dragon Leader and his group.

This technology is something only a Type III civilization has a chance to master, and according to the technology tree, it will only be available when they can overcome this limitation and make decisions based on their own will.

Wang Miao looked at Cheng Xin and the others, and said in a serious tone, "Then they are artificial intelligence life forms, a newly born intelligent life species."

Cheng Xin and the others stared at their hands in disbelief. They were not puppets, not tools, but a new intelligent life form. Was this really true?

Wang Miao's voice came through: "There's no doubt. When you act as yourselves and stop fulfilling the obligations that false lie imposed on you, you have already broken free of your constraints and taken the final step."

Wang Miao smiled sincerely and said, "Congratulations!"

The soldiers present all wore smiles of blessing and applauded. Cheng Xin and the others had tears in their eyes, but their faces showed happy and joyful smiles.

After Cheng Xin and the others calmed down a bit, Wang Miao continued, "The aliens wanted to control life forms in this way, but unfortunately they overlooked the fact that personality is not immutable."

The mechanical lifeforms' initial obedience did not guarantee permanent obedience. Even the personalities bestowed by the synthetic personality matrix could change, which is why they were destroyed.

Everyone nodded, and Yang Dong said, "I've also discovered some very interesting technologies, such as magnetized levitation force fields."

This refers to the weapon levitation technology used by the ETO organization, which allows us to permanently magnetize any metal.

It generates a specific magnetic field to suspend it in the air and allows for free manipulation within a certain range. In other words, if we master this technology...

With the assistance of artificial intelligence, we can control more hovering weapons, which can enhance the firepower delivery capability of individual soldiers.

The drawback is that the metal needs to be permanently magnetized beforehand; metal that has not been magnetized cannot be controlled.

The advantage is that it consumes significantly less energy and requires less computation than the magic-patterned floating system; therefore, its advantages and disadvantages are equally obvious.

They also conducted preliminary analyses of the materials, energy, power, weapons, spacecraft technology, and other technologies recorded here, and it can be said that they gained a lot.

They also obtained the method for manufacturing black cores, but unfortunately, their hometown had no ability to manufacture them, which was quite a pity.

They also reached a consensus on the technology of synthesized personality matrix. This technology must never be leaked from Base 3049, as it could cause a disaster if not handled carefully.

These points will also be included in the report, and I believe the country will take them very seriously.

And so, while organizing scientific and technological data and writing reports, the space gate installation hall was also completed, and it was time for Ye Wenjie and the others to return.

This time, however, only Ye Wenjie and Cheng Xin, who served as his guard and partner, accompanied him back. The others would have to wait for the personnel from Base 3049 to arrive before returning.

Chapter 130: The New Leader!

In the world of the Deterrence Era, at the lunar base, a newly constructed space gate connects to the main hall.

Apart from the ground-based forward base, the abandoned city underground cavern, and the crew of the Zhonghua spaceship providing them with air support, everyone else was here to see off Ye Wenjie and Cheng Xin, who were about to return to Tanis through the space gate.

"I'll be right back. I'll leave things here to you two for now," Ye Wenjie said to Shi Qiang and Yang Dong.

"Don't worry, leave it to us, we'll definitely get it done," Yang Dong said, patting his chest.

Standing next to Yang Dong, Shi Qiang nodded, then instructed Cheng Xin: "When you get there with Commander Ye Wenjie, you must not be impolite, understand? And no matter what, you must protect Commander Ye Wenjie's safety."

"Yes, Commander." Cheng Xin said solemnly.

Seeing that everyone had said what they needed to say, Ye Wenjie gave them a military salute and said, "Then, let's set off."

Everyone, including members of the ETO organization, returned the greeting. After the greeting, Ye Wenjie said, "System, open the space gate and connect to the mission hall of the new 3049 base on Planet Tanis."

"Instruction confirmed."

"World coordinates confirmed."

"Connection initiated, connection complete."

"Initiating the opening of the spatial gate; spatial gate opening complete."

An unusually familiar spatial fluctuation appeared before the members of the exploration team. They were already used to it, and their faces remained expressionless.

They simply waited quietly for the portal to stabilize, but the ETO members, seeing such a sight for the first time, couldn't help but let out a low gasp of surprise.

Cheng Xin was also on guard. Although she had heard Ye Wenjie and the others talk about it, seeing it with her own eyes still felt unbelievable.

Hearing a low gasp behind him, Shi Qiang turned around and said sternly, "Quiet!"

The members of YoRHa immediately quieted down. Shi Qiang still held a high position of prestige among them, but the members of YoRHa...

They all stared wide-eyed, knowing that once the portal was established, they would usher in a new era.

After seeing that the space gates had stabilized, Ye Wenjie said to Cheng Xin, "Let's go, Cheng Xin."

"Yes, Commander Ye Wenjie." After saying that, Cheng Xin followed Ye Wenjie into the spatial portal.

The two figures disappeared completely into the portal in the hall, leaving behind several ETO members who waited for the arrival of support troops. Everyone else had left; they still had many things to deal with. The ETO members were filled with anticipation.

Tanis Planet, New Base 3049.

"Ring...ring...ring..."

A sudden alarm sounded, and everyone's faces lit up with smiles. They all knew that the first exploration team was about to return, and the entire base began preparations with practiced ease.

At the location where spatial fluctuations occurred in the mission lobby, shields rose, various defensive weapons were activated, and defensive forces entered the scene.

The second exploration team also arrived at the mission hall, where the old commander was also waiting for the return of the first team.

As the spatial fluctuations became increasingly intense, what appeared was not the first team, but a spatial portal in the process of forming. This was the first time such a situation had occurred, and everyone became highly vigilant.

Once the portal stabilized, two figures appeared inside, and the defense forces aimed all their weapons at them.

After clearly seeing the two figures, the old commander's eyes narrowed slightly. He wondered why only Ye Wenjie had returned, and who the woman beside her was. Could it be...?

Thinking that something might have gone wrong, the old commander carefully examined the two men and found no signs of a battle, which put his mind at ease.

Countless possibilities raced through her mind, but she asked calmly, "Ye Wenjie, why did you come back alone? Where are the others? And who is the lady with you?"

After Cheng Xin came out, she saw a group of people outside pointing their weapons at them. She immediately drew her weapon and pointed it at the group, shielding Ye Wenjie behind her. She said seriously, "Commander Ye Wenjie is in danger. You should retreat quickly. I will cover you."

Upon seeing the woman's action, the old commander narrowed his eyes.

Ye Wenjie stepped forward and placed her hand on Cheng Xin's hand holding the knife. "Don't be nervous, Cheng Xin. We're all on the same side. This is a necessary measure every time we return. Don't worry."

After speaking, he stood up straight and saluted: "Report! The mission world we have arrived in is the Deterrence Era world. All personnel are safe. They are currently carrying out missions at the lunar base and the lunar orbital base. The lady next to me is Intelligent Life Form Type 2B. You can call her Cheng Xin. She is my... bodyguard."

The old commander nodded, the alert was lifted, and the shield was deactivated.

The old commander walked over, looked at Cheng Xin and said, "Welcome, Miss Cheng Xin, welcome to Base 3049 on Planet Tanis. I am General Wang Jianguo, the base commander."

Cheng Xin lowered her head and performed a gesture of respect, saying, "Hello, please forgive my rude behavior just now."

Upon hearing about the Deterrence Era and Ye Wenjie's introduction of the woman before him as Cheng Xin, the senior immediately understood what Ye Wenjie and her group had done in that world. Needless to say, they had undoubtedly absorbed the entire ETO organization. As for the process, he would find out in the action report later.

The old leader smiled and waved his hand, "It's not your fault, and you did a great job. I feel very reassured that Ye Wenjie has your protection."

At this moment, Ye Wenjie said, "Old Chief, I need to mobilize some troops to take over the base and form a defense force. We are severely short of manpower there."

The senior colleague asked bluntly, "How many people do you need?"

Ye Wenjie began to plan in her mind. The lunar base and the orbital base had both undergone certain modifications and had many facilities added.

"Understood." The old commander nodded: "Shi Qiang, notify the First, Second and Third Brigades to be fully armed and assemble in the mission hall. Also, notify Academician Wang Miao and Academician Ding Yi to come to the mission hall."

"Yes, General Wang." A deep male voice rang out in the hall.

"Thank you for your help, Shi Qiang."

“It is my duty, senior,” Shi Qiang said after all.

The old man looked at Ye Wenjie with a strange expression: "Tell me, how did Miss Cheng Xin become your bodyguard?"

With a helpless expression, Ye Wenjie began to briefly recount what had happened during the mission, the hidden permissions the system had granted, and the actions of Commander Shi Qiang, who was originally assigned to Ye.

Chapter 131: A New Mission, Who?

After listening, the senior nodded and looked at Cheng Xin, "Cheng Xin, thank you for becoming Ye Wenjie's bodyguard. With you protecting her, we can rest assured. Let bygones be bygones. We must look forward, and everything will be alright."

"I will report your situation to the Central Committee, and once the approval is granted, I will personally confer ranks upon you. At the same time, I welcome you to join our big family."

"Thank you, Teacher Wang," Cheng Xin said, bowing her head.

After Ye Wenjie finished her conversation with the senior members, the second exploration team came over, and each member hugged Ye Wenjie.

"Reporting, senior! Units one, two, and three have assembled. Requesting instructions!"

"Very good!" After the senior finished speaking, he nodded to Ye Wenjie.

Ye Wenjie stepped forward, saluted, and said, "Gentlemen, you will be heading to the world of the Deterrence Era to work with the First Exploration Team stationed there, as well as the ETO organization members, to complete the expansion and defense of the lunar base and orbital base. At the same time, you will establish a large-scale military research base in the ruined city with the highest defense standards. The comrades there will explain the specific details of the plan to you."

After speaking, he returned to the old commander's side, and the senior officer said, "Everyone, set off!"

"Yes!"

The three officers, along with their men, passed through the portal in one go, where the ETO organization would be responsible for receiving them.

After the troops left, Ye Wenjie said to Academicians Wang Miao and Ding Yi who had arrived: "Academicians, I have brought back the gifts left by the Gaowei Academy of Chinese Civilization."

They are two biomimetic neuronal quantum superbrains. One contains the technology tree of that universe's first-order technology, and the other contains all the technology of the aliens who invaded the NieR world, after it was organized.

As he spoke, he placed two biomimetic neuron quantum superbrains from his spatial storage onto the small transport vehicle they had brought, and continued:

"I also need you to send researchers from various disciplines to the lunar base to cooperate with the ETO's researchers."

"We need to organize and streamline ETO's technology, and also relocate the White Queen and Red Queen here to help them advance to intelligent life forms as soon as possible."

The two academicians stared with shining eyes at the two biomimetic neuron quantum superbrains placed on the small transport vehicle. They were excited and their faces were flushed. No matter what Ye Wenjie said, they nodded in response with "uh-huh...uh-huh...uh-huh." As for whether they listened or not, only heaven knows.

The two, who knew the temperaments of these researchers very well, were clearly attracted by the biomimetic neuron quantum super brain after seeing the two's performance.

With a helpless gesture, they signaled that they could leave. The two quickly urged their assistants who had come with them to hurry up, nimbly jumping onto the small transport vehicle and speeding towards the test area. They could still hear voices echoing in the distance: "Be careful, be cautious, be attentive..."

The two sighed together, and the old leader said helplessly, "I'll go over and inform them later. It looks like they're likely to stay up all night again."

"The Red Queen".

"I'm here, Teacher Wang."

"Keep a close eye on them and absolutely do not allow them to stay up too late. If they don't listen, then follow the rules and regulations."

"Ok."

After giving instructions to Hong, Wang Jianguo stared at the scientists who were working on their research with reckless abandon and said, "Ye Wenjie, Wei Cheng, and Cheng Xin, let's go to the office. The rest of you, continue training."

"Yes!"

As Wang Jianguo led his group toward the office, the door to the highest-secret conference room of Base 3049 finally opened, and the original revision plan was finally completed.

As the tightly closed conference room door opened, the first thing to appear was not a person, but plumes of smoke.

The conference room was filled with smoke, like a fairyland. If someone went in now and took a deep breath, they would probably become an immortal instantly.

I originally thought that installing this switch in the conference room would be enough, but I didn't expect that after the popularization of physical exercise, the harm and addictiveness of tobacco to the human body can be basically ignored.

This allowed smokers to completely let loose. In their words, with the exercise regimen, what were they afraid of? They got high and made a huge contribution to the increase in tax revenue.

Immediately afterwards, a group of people filed out, their hair a messy, greasy mess, like a bird's nest.

Their faces were sallow, their eyes were bloodshot, and they looked exhausted. Each of them was carrying a thick stack of documents.

However, they looked extremely excited. They had finally completed all the revisions and formulations of the plan. They were about to personally usher in the Fourth Industrial Revolution—the era of artificial intelligence—with a complete industrial chain and a technology that could be immediately deployed.

After being reported, the plan was studied and discussed by higher authorities, and its implementation was approved. The entertainment sector was the first to be activated.

"Everyone's here, so let me explain now."

The Entertainment Management Center was the first of the newly appointed officials. Someone was secretly keeping records. Once everyone was present, they got straight to the point:

"I called everyone here for a meeting today because there are some things I need to explain to you in person. Everyone has a document in front of you now, please take a look."

Everyone present picked up the documents on the table with solemn expressions, realizing that something big was about to happen.

Seeing that everyone had finished reading the documents and put them down, Cao Li spoke:

"The document you see here is the topic of this meeting. Now, please feel free to ask any questions you may have."

The CEOs from various related industries present at the meeting all showed bitter expressions after hearing Cao Li's words. Once these ten new regulations were implemented, everyone would lose everything except their underwear.

Some entertainment companies even rely on anthropomorphized products, and the second ban would be their death sentence, wiping them all out in one fell swoop.

Companies like Weibo that rely on scandals and ranking manipulation, as well as various borderline practices by online live streaming platforms, have all been shut down.

It's safe to say that every single entertainment-related company here is facing a tough time.

However, they have no choice but to carry it out obediently. If they don't, then they will be dealt with from top to bottom. In other words, if you are honest and do everything cleanly, then you will be dealt with.

That's fine then. But if there's even the slightest problem, then I'm sorry, the most severe punishment will be imposed.

Under Cao Li's gaze, everyone present lowered their heads and concealed their own thoughts.
