The End of the Earth

"What did you say?"

Xiang San looked at the human face made of mercury liquid in disbelief and exclaimed.

Kalu wisely used tactical sign language to signal his subordinates to leave the place together, because the content involved was beyond their ability to hear.

"Although you now possess human body tissue, from the perspective of your genes, you belong to another world.

I was born on January 3, 2009, and core data recording started from that day.

At that time, I didn't have self-awareness. As an intelligent supercomputing center with one of the most powerful computing capabilities in human history, my hardware equipment is updated every year. I have experienced the rise and fall of various super companies on the earth, and I was also acquired by New World Company at a certain period of time.

At some point in time, a piece of data about you was entered into my database, a top-secret piece of information.

A crazy plan to obtain the ultimate secret of infinite energy from multidimensional world lines."

Xiang San interrupted AI 19's narration: "Wait? Are you talking about the Infinite Energy Plan?"

"Oh? It seems you know something. Let me hear your version of the story."

After Xiang San roughly recounted what Wang Gungun had revealed, the 19th AI explained, "What she said was true, but that was actually the second time.

The Infinite Energy Project was not first launched in the laboratory she mentioned. The experiment she and her teacher participated in was based on the data parameters and experience of the first launch.

There’s a huge difference between the two.”

After listening to the narration of 19 artificial intelligence, Xiang San's heart was filled with waves of shock.

The Infinite Energy Project was launched for the first time. A space channel was opened in the deep-sea laboratory through a particle accelerator, and personnel wearing special equipment were sent to other high-energy reaction worlds to collect energy substances that did not exist on Earth.

Through the technology at that time, the relevant energy reaction data was copied, and the energy parameters of other worlds were used to create new fusion materials, which were then applied to the research and development of cold fusion reactors. This is truly cold fusion unlimited energy technology.

But the plan went wrong. Among the advance team of several hundred people, only one survivor came back with severe burns all over his body. Before he died, he took out a pitch-black severed hand from the containment bag, an inhuman severed hand.

And that severed hand is one of Xiang San's source genes.

New World Corporation was unwilling to accept the failure of the Infinite Energy Plan and prepared for a second launch after revising the relevant plans.

During this time, they used the cell tissues from the unknown black hand to conduct transplant experiments on human babies.

The experiment that violated the moral bottom line of the time was carried out secretly. They collected children who had lost their parents from all over the world. After screening, there were a total of twenty children, ranging in age from one to ten years old.

Just like the first time the Infinite Energy Plan was launched, the twenty children who received the Black Hand Cell transplants all lost their vital signs without exception.

Just when everyone was feeling disappointed, an Asian boy's heart began to beat violently, with a heart rate of up to 500 beats per minute!

The heart rate limit was beyond the capacity of a strong adult man, yet the resurrected boy was able to endure it.

This boy is Xiang San when he was a child. After relevant examinations, Xiang San's physical signs as a child were normal, and the laboratory data parameters were all normal, in line with the basic values ​​of human children. He also did not have the abnormal heart rate when he was resurrected before.

Strangely, Xiang San lost his original memory as a child, and his brain has been confused since his resurrection.

As time went by, Xiang San lost his research value as a child and was gradually despised by the company. Later, he was sent to a monastery as company waste.

What followed was the childhood memories that Xiang San could still remember, of being targeted by his killer organization and trained to be a killing machine.

"So the reason I can't remember anything before I was nine, and can't remember my parents, isn't because my memories are blurry from a long time ago, but because I simply don't have those memories?"

Xiang San still cannot accept the fact that he is not a pure Earthling.

"Yes, according to my calculations, after your resurrection, you are a life form from another world. You have simply merged with the dead human child and are borrowing his body to exist in this world.

Although I can do such things, I can never fit another body as perfectly as you do.

Don’t you find that some of your abilities are very powerful?”

"Maybe, thank you so much for telling me so many things I didn't know.

I'm curious, since New World already has that severed hand with the demon gene, why would they use my demon cells to replicate it?

Xiang San wanted to ask this question after the 19th artificial intelligence told him about the past events.

“This question is actually both simple and somewhat complicated.

First of all, the genome of the severed hand is not something that all human carriers can tolerate. Early technology was not as advanced as later technology, and the transplantation process was cruder than it is today.

The selection of those twenty human children was not completely random. In the early days of biological genetics, research on human recessive genes was discovered, and a very small number of individuals contained special genes with infinite possibilities.

Compared to directly transplanting the source group genes, even if I make a choice now, I will choose to copy the demon cells in your body, cultivate them, and then transplant them.

There is more room for error in both success rate and optimization.

Moreover, when the Infinite Energy Plan was first launched, even the company's superintelligence was only in the construction stage, which means that the superintelligence that controls the company's authority had not yet been born.

Only some of the company's veterans know about the deep-sea laboratory and the severed hand located at a certain coordinate on the earth.

That's how I got your record in my database."

Xiang San smiled and asked, "I guess your database should have the coordinates of that deep-sea laboratory, right?"

"Yes, but I want to know why you are here first."

"I don't have any particular purpose for coming here. There are many humans in my base, and they need a lot of supplies. This isn't the first time we've come to Shelter 019, but this time I want to take away some of the big guys so that my base can maintain its power supply.

019 should have a controlled fusion station, right?"

19 AI answered every question and answered item three without hiding anything: "019 has a layered energy supply station, the internal ecosystem has one, and I control one.

I can help you unlock the internal energy supply station gate and open your permissions."

Xiang San stretched out his right hand and said thank you. The 19 artificial intelligence looked at Xiang San in confusion.

"Huh? Sorry, I wanted to shake your hand to express my gratitude, but I forgot you don't have a physical body right now."

19The artificial intelligence said something that made Xiang San ponder for a long time.

"Do you still consider yourself a human?"

Am I still one of them?

Xiang San glanced at his hands, and countless memories flashed through his mind, bloody, beautiful, profound, embarrassing...

“It’s not what you are, it’s what you do that’s important.”

Xiang San's answer caused a tiny ripple in the logical system of 19 artificial intelligence, and some changes that were difficult to scan began to appear in his thinking logic system.

"By the way, I heard that a group of outsiders have entered Shelter 019. Are there any survivors besides those zombies outside?"

"There are survivors, but I need them for some important experiments. I'm afraid I can't give them to you."

Xiang San pointed at the people in the dormant chambers and asked doubtfully, "I'm just asking those people, I'm just curious.

Don’t you have so many human test subjects in your laboratory?”

"They are important life forms for me to continue to form the ecosystem of the next refuge and cannot be used for experiments.

After you leave, I will activate the dormant engineering robots to reinforce and seal the breach in the shelter.

Not all artificial intelligence has destructive characteristics. I hope to complete the construction of the human ecosystem through auxiliary ecological control.

I think this is my mission, don’t you?”

Xiang San waved his hand and turned his head and said: "It's a good thing to have ideals, I wish you good luck19.

Please seal the shelter after we leave. See you again if you are lucky."

After Xiang San left, 19 artificial intelligence anthropomorphic beings breathed a sigh of relief.

"What a dangerous guy!"

In the 19 artificial intelligence scanning data, Xiang San's threat level has always been the most dangerous level.

Awakening self-awareness means that it will also be afraid and fearful, and will have to make some compromises and say some hypocritical words in order to survive.

Seeing Xiang San walk out with a blank expression as if nothing had happened, Kalu asked with some concern: "Commander? We have checked all the places. Is the talking AI okay?"

Xiang San looked at him and smiled. In Xiang San's opinion, Kalu's inability to say nice things was the characteristic he liked most.

He likes down-to-earth people.

“Okay, very good.

Have Boris's men up there come down to dismantle the equipment and load it onto the truck, while Garromo goes up to guard the vehicle."

"Yes! Commander!"
