Omnic Crisis in Super God's Beginning

Chapter 99 The Eve of Ascension
Victor was summoned to Lu Yuan.

"Has the Dawn system been laid out?" Lu Yuan asked in a calm voice.

"Reporting to the CEO, the preparations are complete and can be carried out collective ascension on the El Star at any time to complete the final stage of the "Synthetic Era Project"! "

"It's just a matter of us doing the final authorization ceremony."

Even though he had been upgraded to a synthetic mechanical life, Victor's body seemed to retain some of the obsession and fanaticism he had when he was a human in the past. His eyes when he looked at Lu Yuan were still full of loyalty and reverence.

Soon, Professor Eureka, the chief scientist of Gray Goo Company, temporarily put aside his work and came to Lu Yuan.

Along with him were Energy Minister Chen Wei, as well as several company ministers from other departments.

Seeing that the senior executives were all here, Lu Yuan nodded slightly, and together they came to a large control authorization table.

Among the many directors of the original company, only Victor and the director of the business department were upgraded to synthetics in the promotion of internal employees.

But when a group of senior executives came to the authorization stage of the Dawn System, including Lu Yuan, Professor Eureka and others who originally showed their images as human beings, their disguises gradually faded away.

Data codes surged, and the appearance of the human organic form disappeared from Lu Yuan and others like a layer of erased projection.

After removing the disguise, what was revealed on Lu Yuan and others was a perfect mechanical form, a synthetic metal body.

Such a scene was broadcast to all parts of the planet in the form of real-time live video, and was displayed in the eyes of countless company employees.

When the company's top executives, who had all been upgraded to synthetic humans, revealed their true images in front of all employees, some had complicated expressions, some had slightly moved faces, but most of them had shocked expressions. .

At this moment, everyone knew that their civilization had reached an important threshold.

At this time, only a few years had passed since the company unified El Star and began to develop space technology.

In just a few years, all company employees, no matter the bottom, middle or senior levels, have clearly witnessed the development and progress of their collective in all aspects.

These developments and advances are enough to overturn everything established by the thousands of years of civilization history on this planet, including worldviews and values.

The company's space engineering plan went smoothly, and civilization entered the interstellar age. The employees' world perspective was suddenly lifted to a height that they could not imagine, and even their mortal bodies could not bear.

In the newly created star map system created by the company, the interstellar vistas that are often measured in light-year units are shown to them, further turning their thoughts and ideas upside down.

Many employees are very clearly aware that with their fragile human bodies, it is difficult to keep up with the company's development.

They are fed by the company's rich material resources. Basically, the company no longer needs their work to provide any beneficial value to the collective, because the massive intelligent mechanical units produced by the company can completely replace them to carry out those tasks. Busy grassroots.

Even if the company allows them to engage in behind-the-scenes scientific research work that can better utilize their remaining value, with the birth of the "Ascension Protocol", more and more synthetics have been upgraded, and their work in the scientific research field has gradually been replaced by those synthetics. The compatriots continued to compete.

It can be said that the original 200 billion employees at all levels within the company are no longer able to create more value for this collective. In the past, before the company unified the El Star civilization, it has reached this critical period. A brutal large-scale internal individual elimination competition will inevitably occur.After all, they have lost their use value. If they are not eliminated, will they be a waste of resources?
However, for those internal employees who have lost their use value in an objective sense, Gray Goo Company has still not abandoned them. In the past few years, it has consistently provided them with generous material life enjoyment, allowing them to Peacefully enjoy all the rights of being a human being.

But this is not a long-term solution after all. In Gray Goo Company, no one can only enjoy the rights brought by the collective without exerting any useful value.

Despite the Ascension Agreement, a large number of company employees were willing to sign this agreement and be upgraded to higher-level synthesizers to continue to create more benefits and value for the company.

However, due to previous space engineering plans, too many resources were focused on related projects, and it was simply impossible to achieve the ascension of too many people.

Therefore, even if most people intend to sign the Ascension Agreement, they cannot be allowed by the company's upper management. Quota limits have been established to prevent too many people from signing the Ascension Agreement at the same time, which would bring too much resource burden to the previous company.

Previously, among the company's employees, only those who were on the verge of death or about to end their lives had the opportunity to sign an ascension agreement without being restricted by the quota.

Now, the quota limit on the Ascension Agreement has been relaxed. After all the company's regular employees are eligible to actively apply to sign the agreement voluntarily, a barrier has been opened.

More than 80.00% of the company's employees applied to sign the Ascension Agreement almost immediately after the restrictions were ordered to be released by the CEO.

Without exception, these applications were all granted.

The number of signatories of the Ascension Agreement has been fully announced on information channels accessible to all employees.

The company's top management, headed by Lu Yuan, took the opportunity to announce all the details of the "Synthetic Era Project" to all employees.

Unexpectedly, when the contents of the plan were announced to employees, they did not receive any condemnation or opposition. Instead, some employees who had not actively signed the Ascension Agreement took the initiative to apply to sign the agreement.

Today, more than 90.00% of the company's employees have actively signed an ascension agreement, or have already ascended to become synthetic humans.

The remaining small number of company employees seem to be still waiting and hesitating.

When this small group of people saw that the company's top executives had been promoted collectively, they couldn't help but have mixed feelings in their hearts.

A general oppression hangs over their bodies and minds.

The company has given every employee the right to choose whether to sign the Ascension Agreement, but not every employee is willing to sign the Ascension Agreement independently.

In a group, even if there is 90.00% unity, when there is a trade-off between interests, there will still be one percent independent individuals.

For those employees who were unwilling to take the initiative to sign the promotion agreement, the company did not force them to make the same choice as everyone else, but allowed them to pursue their own independent opinions.

Even after announcing the "Synthetic Era Plan", Gray Goo Company will still maintain the principle of absolute fairness and respect the personal power held by every employee.
