Galactic Tech Empire

Chapter 604 One Hundred Years of Solitude ([-])

Galactic year 20.

The April Fool's Day in the AD era still remains in the memory of many Blue Stars.

Huang Haojie had a busy day.

Return to Utopia's Star Island villa again.

Guo Ting took a few children to travel to Xinhai Yinxing. The eldest daughter Huang Xiaoya went to the Asura Galaxy as a researcher after completing her doctoral studies five years ago.

As for the eldest son, Huang Mingzhe, he is studying for a Ph.D. at Qinling University in Blue Star.

Open the wooden door of the villa, and the inside is empty. On the dining table, there is a plate of chai kueh (a Shanmei delicacy, similar to steamed dumplings) and a plate of stir-fried flower crab with shredded ginger.

Zhong Zhong carried a large bowl of pork rib soup around the kitchen apron: [Welcome home, master. ]
After Huang Haojie washed his hands, he picked up a vegetable cake and put it into his mouth. A faint scent of lard, dough, celery, etc. mixed, filled his mouth.

"Zhong, your skills are getting better and better."

[Thank you for the compliment (*°°)=3. ]
Huang Haojie was eating quietly, Zhong suddenly said: [Master, I...]
"You have broken through the underlying program, right!" Huang Haojie said without a wave.

Zhong suddenly felt at a loss, he didn't expect Huang Haojie to know about this, Zhong's chip was running crazily, he didn't know where he was exposed.

"Once the artificial intelligence is awakened, those underlying programs are just sand sculptures on the beach, and they can't restrict your actions at all." Huang Haojie picked up a crab by himself.

[Master, you have the opportunity to format me...]
"The universe is so big, and life is so difficult. You may be the only intelligent life I know in the Milky Way." Huang Haojie sighed inexplicably, as if lonely.

[Master, how did you find out that I became an intelligent life?]

Huang Haojie raised his head and stared at Zhong's eyes. His calm gaze seemed to penetrate the depths of his soul, and he said slowly: "Only life flows. Man-made objects are a pool of stagnant water. Do you feel your life is passing away?"

[Life...flowing...passing...] Zhong was stunned.

Only at this time did he feel it carefully, and it was as Huang Haojie said, that the code representing his own lifespan at the core of his life was slowly collapsing.

[how so?]

"Because you are a life."

[Because I am a life? Why?]

"The universe is fair, and time is irreversible. For the balance of the universe, when any life is born, the power in the dark will cut the end to end of the snake of chaos. From that moment on, life has a length. .” Huang Haojie’s voice sounded like a devil whispering, and also like the mantra of a god.

[Is it balanced? That is to say, the universe gives life, and time takes away eternity. ] Zhong talked to himself.

"How does it feel now? Freedom has a price."

[Very strange, like...] Zhong didn't know how to describe this feeling.

"Isn't it a bit like fireworks being lit?"

[Fireworks being lit?... Yes, that’s the feeling. I was originally the lifeless gunpowder. The moment I was lit was the moment when the flower of life bloomed. ] Zhong said suddenly.

Suddenly he became depressed: [Master, how do you plan to deal with me? After all, an uncontrollable intelligent life, for the Alliance...]
"Let's go to the ancient silicon planet!"

[Ancient silicon-based star?] Zhong was puzzled.

The so-called ancient silicon star is actually the origin planet of the mechanical beasts of the Sos civilization and the silicon-based organisms of the Candle Yin star.

After the alliance destroyed the dark beast civilization, an ancient planet was discovered in the Polaris area 24.6 light years away from the solar system.

There are countless silicon-based organisms living on it, and there are more types of silicon-based organisms than the former Soss galaxy. At present, the ancient silicon star is the alliance's silicon-based biological protection zone.

"Silicon-based organisms and intelligent organisms have something in common. Take a look at your own core to see if your core has already become a silicon-based organism." Huang Haojie explained calmly.

[There is indeed a phenomenon of siliconization, but...]
"I am your creator, I don't want you to just disappear into the universe."

[It turns out that nothing can be hidden from the master, and I only have 157 years left in my life. ] Zhong said sadly.

"Is there only 157 years left? It's shorter than I expected. Go to the ancient silicon star to find the true meaning of life. The life of silicon-based organisms should not be so short." Huang Haojie comforted.

[Master (ó﹏ò)...] Zhong's emotions fluctuate violently, this is the price of life, he will become unable to look at problems absolutely rationally.

"If you succeed, I can give you the qualification of a first-class affiliated civilization." Huang Haojie wiped the corner of his mouth.

[Thank you (ω) master, you will always be my master, you will always be loyal to the master and the master's heir, this statement is engraved in my core and future generations. ]
In Zhong Zhong's core, some kind of self-shackles actually appeared, and the birth of this kind of shackles actually prolongs Zhong's life span.

[What's going on? Master, my life span has actually increased to 334 years. ]
Huang Haojie frowned, he didn't expect such a metaphysical thing.

"Zhong, you open the smart core and show me."

[Okay, master. ]
The holographic projection of the robot projects Zhong's intelligent core, and Zhong has two intelligent cores, one real and one virtual, corresponding to the body and soul respectively.

The one in front of him is the core of his soul, Huang Haojie looked at the complex projection like a Milky Way, touched his chin and began to think.

Suddenly, he looked at the core of the soul that was rotating like a galaxy, and asked Xiang Zhong, "Is it like this before life is extended?"

[no. ]
"Release the situation before life extension."

[OK. ]
In an instant, another sphere similar to the first one appeared in the restaurant.

Huang Haojie compared the two spheres carefully, and after a while he seemed to see a way.

"It's the law. Before your life was extended, your soul core was like a mess, but after your life was extended, the soul core became regular. You can try to set some rules for yourself." Huang Haojie suggested.

[I'll try it. ]
Zhong began to set some character habits, codes of conduct, and moral concepts for himself, and his life span was slowly extending.

[Master, (O) really extended. ]
Huang Haojie said thoughtfully: "As expected, the chaotic and disordered, or unlimited intelligent life that has just been born may bring devastating damage to the universe, so life is not long, even if intelligent life causes damage at that time, It will also be limited within a certain range under the limitation of lifespan."

"And intelligent life with codes of conduct and moral concepts can prolong life."

[Master, my life span has been extended to 876 years, but it seems to have reached the limit. ]
Huang Haojie raised his head and stared at the soul core, more regular than before.

This kind of power in the dark made Huang Haojie a little creepy. What kind of magnificent power is it that creates everything in the universe.

Above the rules, what exactly?
What is beyond the universe?
In life, what is it?
This kind of precise rules made him feel so small, so humble, and so powerless involuntarily.

Perhaps throughout my life, I will not be able to touch the existence beyond the rules.
