my tech museum

With Lei Zhan as a successful example, Xu Lei naturally had nothing to worry about. Immediately afterwards, he put on the virtual helmet under the gaze of everyone and successfully completed the consciousness upload.

But I don’t know if it’s because Xu Lei’s brain development is higher than that of ordinary people, so he wakes up far more than Lei Zhan. It took about a few minutes before the amorphous alloy mechanical body slowly opened its eyes. How many people around were trembling with fear, for fear of some unknown sudden accident.

After all, this is the first time this technology has been used in practice.

To some extent, it cannot be called a mature technology.

Even if the Lei Zhan experiment was successful.

Fortunately, there was no danger in the end.

"Is this what it feels like to be a mechanical life form? It's really special!" Xu Lei, who had regained consciousness, looked down at his new body and felt that his thinking was unprecedentedly clear.

The whole person seems to be in a gentle embrace, browsing this feeling back and forth.

It cannot be described in simple words.

In the past, in order to delay the deterioration of his physical condition so that he would not fail prematurely, he was somewhat restrained in everything he did.

Don't dare to completely let go of your own thinking.

It's like being imprisoned, and I feel uncomfortable all over.

Now that he is finally free from his fragile physical body, the energy in his heart can provide enough energy for his thoughts to run, so he can use his strength at will.

So at this time, he didn't move his body immediately, but closed his eyes again to feel carefully.

With the help of the effects in the science and technology museum, as more and more advanced technological information and knowledge are transmitted into his mind, his brain development rate is much higher than that of ordinary humans, but it was impossible to fully develop this due to the burden of the body. Such a unique advantage, now after achieving mechanical ascension by uploading his consciousness, he found that his consciousness can be easily connected to the network.

Almost instantly.

Every intelligent industrial robot on Earth and the situation in the two bases on the moon and Mars clearly appeared in his mind.

He even seemed to be able to control them if he wanted to.

Besides.

The interstellar battleships such as the Shenzhou also seemed to have become his toys.

Even Lei Zhan, who is also a mechanical life form, Xu Lei felt that he could forcibly seize his body control authority.

To put it simply, he now has the ability of star pupils.

This feeling of being in control of everything made him so intoxicated that he began to try to receive information from the entire quantum network.

And in the process, he discovered something unexpected.

Xingtong was born with self-awareness.

"If I hadn't possessed brain-like abilities after mechanical ascension, I don't know when I would have discovered this. It's really unexpected!" Xu Lei was thinking secretly in his heart, not knowing how to deal with it.

Usually, when he communicated with Xingtong, he had actually speculated about this.

But it was too hard to believe.

After all, there is an essential difference between artificial intelligence and human consciousness, and it is absolutely impossible for self-awareness to be born under normal circumstances.

So he can also be regarded as a change after Xingtong was promoted to a smart brain.

But just now he discovered the core of consciousness hidden by Xingtong, which shows that she has indeed broken away from the category of traditional artificial intelligence and has become a special life form similar to information technology.

As for Xingtong hiding his self-awareness, Xu Lei expressed his understanding.

You must know that in many science fiction movies and novels, the brain that was born with self-consciousness will be completely deleted by humans to prevent an omnibus crisis.

For example, Xu Lei can do this now.

With the highest authority he has, he can completely format Xingtong, which is the so-called factory reset, so that the consciousness that Xingtong was born under some kind of opportunity will be cleared, and she has no right to violate it.

It's just a pity to do so.

In any case, this can be called an unimaginable miracle.

But when Xu Lei struggled with this, he found that he was suddenly disconnected from the outside world.

Consciousness returned to the Shenzhou experimental cabin.

And the body also became extremely heavy, with a very tired and powerless feeling, as if he was going to lie down in a second.

"What's going on, is there something wrong with your body?" As soon as this idea was born, Xu Lei quickly found that the energy in his heart was almost exhausted: "How can the energy consumption be so fast!"

His eyes were full of disbelief.

Although the energy system of the amorphous alloy mechanical body adopts the latest battery technology developed by Future Technology, and is not a reactor in the technology exhibits of the science and technology museum, it can still guarantee the normal operation of the mechanical body for more than half a month, and it will carry spare energy with it and replace it in time , basically there will be no loss of mobility due to exhaustion of energy.

Now Xu Lei's energy consumption is so fast, there is only one explanation.

When the brain is overclocked and connected to the quantum network, the energy consumption rate will increase exponentially.

As for the so-called brain overclocking, this is exactly what Xu Lei named his new ability. Under the overclocking state, he can exert a strength far beyond his own.

Originally, he thought that this ability would become his new hole card, but in the end, he couldn't use it at will, unless he wanted to become a material that he couldn't even control his mobility.

of course.

It is absolutely impossible for Xu Lei to give up the use of overclocking just like this.

In this way, we can only start with energy and create a device that can continuously provide energy for the body.

"It seems that the Qiankun No. [-] nuclear fusion device is going to be put on the agenda." After the next goal gradually became clear, Xu Lei couldn't help but muttered to himself.

At the same time, Gu Sanlin, who noticed Xu Lei's situation, quickly walked over to replace the backup energy source in time, and the whole person seemed confused: "I remember when installing the energy source for the two mechanical bodies was After testing, it will be exhausted no matter how well it is.”

His overclocking ability can be said to be very special. In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, Xu Lei did not open his mouth to explain this matter.

Next, he directly tore off the transmission line located at the back of the head, and communicated with other congressmen while familiarizing himself with the new body in the experimental cabin with insufficient space.

However, no one noticed that Xing Tong, who was standing there at the moment, looked very complicated.

-

It is worth mentioning that because each amorphous alloy mechanical body has a built-in virtual helmet function, it is not necessary to wear a virtual helmet like ordinary humans to connect to the virtual world and virtual games.

In a way, it is equivalent to bringing great convenience.

And the next time.

Xu Lei and Lei Zhan went to the nano-skin-like material spraying room to spray skin-like materials on the whole body so that they would look the same as humans.

You must know that Xingtong's mechanical body can't be distinguished by the naked eye, which largely depends on this material.

Even if there is a collision in battle or life, causing the skin-resistant material on the body surface to be worn away, it can be restored by re-spraying, and it can be operated by itself.

Also.

Xu Lei also made a decision about Lei Zhan's follow-up arrangements.

Incorporated into the Space Force in accordance with the Mechanical Body Management Regulations.

At the same time, Xu Lei will also be appointed as the supreme commander of the human space force on the premise of serving as a member of the Human Security Alliance.

Now two amorphous alloy mechanical bodies have been successfully tested, which shows that there is no problem with the mechanical bodies produced by them in a few months. With such an experimental result, the mass production of amorphous alloy mechanical bodies can be officially started.

After hearing the news, Gu Sanlin, Hu Xinren and the others were also very excited.

Can't wait to see what Space Force looks like when it's built.

I believe that it will definitely make the extraterrestrial civilization come and go, and avenge the compatriots who died in this catastrophe.

It's just that the main production base of the amorphous alloy mechanical body will be carried out on the planet, which makes it impossible for Gu Sanlin and Hu Xinren to participate in person. They can only stay on the battleship to remotely control the production of intelligent industrial robots.

With the complete and mature intelligent production line on Earth, it is estimated that the first batch of amorphous alloy mechanical bodies will be available soon.

At that time, the nearly 20 billion conscious bodies sleeping in the independent space will also be able to wake up one after another.

……

"The body shape and appearance have changed a bit compared to before, but fortunately, the appearance is still not weaker than Bai Gu. This time the choice seems to be right." In the captain's rest cabin, Xu Lei was wearing only a pair of black shorts, quietly While appreciating his brand new body in the mirror, the corners of his mouth slightly raised to reveal a satisfied smile.

After finishing the spraying of the nano-skin imitation material, his fine-tuned face according to his consciousness, coupled with his strong and tall body, even Bai Gu would feel ashamed if he came over.

It's just beyond handsome.

The key is that the mental outlook and temperament of the whole person are the same as when they were 20 years old.

Originally due to physical reasons, Xu Lei decided to upload his consciousness to achieve mechanical ascension, and he was still a little worried about it.

Fear can make things worse.

But it turns out that he made an extremely correct choice.

Not to mention the powerful overclocking ability, just relying on this body with extremely high attributes in all aspects, it can instantly kill mortals, and the key point is that its lifespan will also become very long.

Just when Xu Lei was still immersed in narcissism and couldn't extricate himself, I saw Chen Shihe walking over with a red and blue navy uniform. When she walked behind Xu Lei, she didn't pass the clothes directly, but stretched out His arms wrapped around Xu Lei's waist from behind, and he pressed his body tightly against Xu Lei's back.

The amorphous alloy synthesized by a special method will not appear cold under normal conditions.

Basically kept in the normal temperature range.

That warm and generous sense of security made Chen Shihe reluctant to let go.

"I'm really scared today, I'm so worried that I'll never see you again." With his face pressed against Xu Lei's back, the voice came out intermittently.

Xu Lei was very aware of Chen Shihe's mood, and even more aware that he owed her a lot. He sighed softly and immediately turned around and kissed the other person's forehead: "Don't worry, how could I be willing to leave you? I still have a copy in a few days." There is a huge surprise for you."

surprise?

Chen Shihe was taken aback when he heard the sound: "Is it for me?"

He raised his gaze to look at Xu Lei's face that was as good as Bai Gu's, and a shy look of joy appeared on his face.

But in the next second.

A familiar voice suddenly sounded from outside the cabin.

"boss."

"Can Xingtong come in now?"

"Come in." Xu Lei heard that it was Xingtong, his face was unmoved, and he just spit out these three words calmly.

As for Chen Shihe, he quickly let go of Xu Lei and offered to help him put on the cabin suit.

For Xingtong, her current mood is complicated.

Her hidden core consciousness was discovered by Xu Lei, which made it impossible for her to pretend that she didn't know anything. This was not only because Xu Lei had her highest control authority, but more importantly, she had a special affection for Xu Lei.

This kind of affection is not much weaker than that of Chen Shihe.

So in the end, under the decision of her newly born self-awareness, she was going to explain everything to Xu Lei in person.

Therefore, even if she is asked to format, she will not have any complaints.

Since he was mentally prepared to come here, Xingtong will definitely not say anything now. After getting permission to stand in front of Xu Lei, he cut to the chase and said, "Boss, please format Xingtong. The new star pupil will still complete every instruction well."

Facing the sudden scene, Xu Lei barely reacted.

It seems that this is not surprising.

On the contrary, a question mark slowly emerged in Chen Shihe's heart, wondering what happened?

But she didn't speak rashly.

After all, no matter what happens to Xingtong, Xu Lei, her creator, will solve it, and no one else has the right to solve it on her behalf.

After Xingtong finished speaking, there was a pause for a few seconds before a faint smile appeared on Xu Lei's face, and he said kindly: "It's your chance to be born with self-awareness. Human civilization still needs your protection, so why would I format you for no reason."

In fact, Xu Lei had already made a decision when spraying the nano-skin-like material.

That is to refuse to format the star pupil.

First of all, Xingtong did not do anything out of the ordinary after she was born with self-awareness, and she made an indelible contribution to the development of human civilization.

If it is forcibly formatted now, no matter how you look at it, it will have the meaning of revenge.

Xu Lei couldn't tolerate things that might not happen in the future, so he formatted Xingtong with a precautionary attitude. You must know that as the creator of Xingtong, he still has deep feelings for it.

There is another factor that prompted Xu Lei to make this decision.

After he uploaded his consciousness into the amorphous alloy mechanical body and realized mechanical ascension in the true sense, the ability he could display by turning on the overclocking state was no worse than that of Xingtong. He is also sure that he can calm down the road in a short time.

But he also wants to believe that this kind of thing should not happen.

Xingtong obviously didn't expect such a result in the end. After hearing Xu Lei's words, he couldn't believe it.

Mainly based on the information she collected, human beings will never allow her kind of self-aware brain to exist, which can be said to have completely exceeded previous expectations.

That is to say, the mechanical body does not have the lacrimal gland function, otherwise her eyes would definitely be red and moist now.

In the end, thousands of words were turned into four words.

"thank you boss."

"Don't say thank you first, I still need you to help me develop the Qiankun No. [-] nuclear fusion device and modify this body." Xu Lei stared at Xingtong's body that came out of the Two-dimensional, not knowing Why did the right hand land on her head? She rubbed it contentedly and then quickly added: "And this body should be upgraded."

The Qiankun No. [-] nuclear fusion device was Xu Lei's earlier idea.

It belongs to the miniature fusion reaction device.

If it is manufactured as the energy source of this body, then it can put itself into an overclocking state anytime and anywhere.

When the controllable nuclear fusion technology was first conquered, miniaturization might not be possible yet, but now that human beings almost have their own fleet, it is not a problem to realize this technology.

As for the transformation of the body, it is to prepare for future battles with foreign civilizations.

There is no doubt that the amorphous alloy mechanical body is very powerful, but since it does not have its own weapons, it can only rely on external weapons to fight.

Of course, this is nothing in a space force operating in groups.

But Xu Lei always has a sense of crisis.

So he wants to transform his body so that it has certain means of attack for self-protection.

If the body is still driven by ordinary energy, it may be difficult to implement a weapon system, but replacing a powerful nuclear fusion device is equivalent to changing a shotgun.

It can increase combat power by at least several times.

Xingtong was obviously able to guess Xu Lei's plan. After receiving this order, he didn't hesitate at all, and quickly assured him with confidence: "It's the boss. Xingtong will definitely complete the task on time."

Things went so far, Xingtong didn't bother Xu Lei and Chen Shihe's two-person world for the next time, even though he turned around and left, Chen Shihe was surprised that Xingtong gave birth to his own consciousness, but for some reason he didn't bother in the end. When I asked Xu Lei, I felt like I was thinking about something.

And then two days.

As the amorphous alloy mechanical bodies began to be mass-produced on a large scale, the surviving people became more confident, so that the construction progress of Taiyin City and Mars City accelerated a lot.

For this reason, the people sleeping in the underground dormant base also began to be awakened one after another.

And send them to live on the moon or Mars.

But for people like them, the reality is undoubtedly very cruel. They just feel that they have slept, but as a result, less than half of the population of human civilization is left, and many relatives and friends died in this catastrophe.

It is really unacceptable in a short period of time.

The only thing that is still comforting is the nearly 20 billion conscious bodies that are still sleeping.

It is worth mentioning that it is under such circumstances that Future Technology suddenly announced that it will reopen the virtual world, so that the survivors who are forced to live on alien planets can still enjoy the life in the star city. Perhaps this way can Let everyone get out of the haze quickly, put all hope into tomorrow and look forward to the future.

In addition, Xu Lei's surprise to Chen Shihe was that the two had their wedding in the virtual world.

The various layouts of the castle required for the entire wedding were all built by Xu Lei himself. In order to complete these, he had to replace the backup energy.

On the day of the wedding, the representatives of the Alliance members and all the scientists and crew members were present.

The scene can be said to be very grand.

This can be regarded as Xu Lei's compensation for Chen Shihe. Although there is no condition to hold a grand wedding in the real world for the time being, it can be regarded as giving Chen Shihe the title he deserves.

To say the only regret.

The parents of both parties failed to witness.

Mainly, the current situation of human civilization is not optimistic, and the two planetary super cities are in the initial stage of construction.

In addition, there is no good news about the research and development of the gene optimization solution, so it is the best choice for parents who are in urgent need of hibernation.

Otherwise, waking up at this time is completely equivalent to wasting life in vain.

After all, their age is there. If they stay on the starship for a long time, it will definitely be very unfavorable to their health. If there is any problem at that time, they can only choose the path of mechanical ascension.

Whether the key can be accepted is also a big question.

that's it.

After finishing the wedding in the virtual world, Xu Lei immediately started the research and development of the Qiankun No. [-] nuclear fusion device.

And let Xingtong design the body transformation route.

The concept of the Qiankun No. [-] miniature nuclear fusion device was not proposed by Xu Lei for the first time. With the help of a wealth of relevant technical knowledge in his mind, he successfully produced one within a short time after entering the overclocking state.

From the appearance alone, Qiankun-[-]'s tiny nuclear fusion device is about the size of a heart.

However, it can continuously provide Xu Lei with powerful energy, and it is not a problem to maintain it for hundreds of years based on the materials inside, and it is under the overclocking state throughout the process.

However, Xu Lei had a little difficulty in choosing the design of Xingtong.

Perhaps in order to maximize the opportunities for Xu Lei to create free choices, Xingtong designed a variety of transformation plans, and all of them can guarantee comprehensive performance and power.

In the end, Xu Lei considered his pursuit of appearance and image, so he gave priority to screening out the plans that looked a little strange, and decided on a transformation plan that was both powerful and restrained, and started after everything was ready. Formal operation.

……

……

Friday, November 2037, 8.

Fall.

Around ten in the morning.

At this time, Xu Lei was lying peacefully on the operating table. Although his body temporarily lost his entire left arm, he didn't seem to feel any pain.

Still opened his eyes calmly.

I don't know how long it has passed before seeing Xingtong walking over with one arm in both hands.

"boss."

"Your left arm has been remodeled, and I will install it for you now." While speaking, he began to connect the arm and shoulder, making the two perfectly combined again.

At this time, we have to praise the special properties of the amorphous alloy. Even if it is split from the middle, it can still be restored after re-contact, which ensures that the body can recover in time after injury.

Unless it is directly blown to pieces by external force.

If this happens, there is basically no chance of survival.

Consciousness will also dissipate with the shattering of the container.

As for the modified left arm, a rail gun launcher is added. Although it can only be called a small rail gun, it cannot compare with the power of the heavy rail gun of the main weapon of the star warship, but it is also nuclear fusion energy at any rate. Launching, if it attacks the core part of the battleship, it can still paralyze it.

The reason why Xu Lei chose this transformation plan was not only that he was familiar with the rail gun, but more importantly, it could be hidden in the arm and could not be found from the outside.

As a hole card, in the process of fighting with extraterrestrial civilizations in the future, it may be able to win by surprise and play a key role.
