The essence of life is a process, not an outcome.

Birth, existence, death.

But when everything comes to an end, how many people can calmly accept this inevitable reincarnation?

Eternal life is a word full of temptation.

Especially when the development of science and technology has gradually touched the forbidden area of life, this temptation is particularly strong.

There was a time when hundreds of millions of dollars of investment were snowflakes and labs of all sizes sprung up. Some people are willing to pay, and naturally some people are willing to experiment. What a person with a lot of money wants is nothing more than that drunken gold fan to continue for another hundred years, compared to the temptation of eternal life, what can a few pieces of paper that "can't be taken away" be counted?

However, with the existing resources, it is absolutely impossible to support the endless expansion of the population, even if some people live forever.

Once the immortality technology comes out, it will definitely not bring prosperity to human civilization, but will be a disaster.

Yes, that would be a disaster.

The immortal people will have endless years and accumulate endless wealth over a long period of time, consolidating their class, and in the end they will become the tumors of society, the cancer cells of the entire civilization. Draw nutrients from all normal "cells" and squeeze the living resources of ordinary people......

That would be a disaster.

Thus came into being the Committee on Scientific Ethics. Together, the three countries abide by their designated conventions, pledge to ban technologies that cause public panic, and strictly monitor each other not to break the rules first. In a tripolar world, this tacit understanding is far stronger than in a multipolar world.

Just like the IAEA on the other side of the world.

But since the economic crisis of 2150, this tacit understanding has become precarious. Although the Committee on Scientific Ethics still exists. However, the interference power of government agencies and the binding force of private capital are far inferior to those of half the world ago.

Summer of 2160.

"Dr. Lin Minjie, your research is suspected of violating the regulations on the management of scientific research, please go to the Wanghai Municipal Court in 10 days. Questioned by the Committee on Scientific Ethics. The policeman, dressed in black, stood in front of him and showed him his ID.

"This can't be! My research is definitely for the sake of the whole of humanity! Why do you represent the whole of the human race—" Lin Minjie roared to the police officer with a grimace.

The man in the suit standing behind the policeman interrupted his rant and said with a slight contempt in his eyes.

"With the 100 billion donations we receive every year, and with the majority of people identifying with our cause. ”

"You're just taking advantage of people's fear of the unknown, you despicable cowards. Lin Minjie stared at the man, trying to choke his neck. But as a frail scientist, his strength is not enough to match the hand of a policeman.

"Really? I'm sorry, but I don't approve of experiments with brains in a tin box. The man in the suit nodded his head. Look at him with a smile.

"Please stay calm, Dr. Lin Minjie. If you are dissatisfied with the enforcement process, please resolve the issue in a civilized manner in court. Of course. Before that. We need to keep your research materials for you. The policeman said lightly.

"No, you can't take it with you!" technology is innocent!" Lin Chaoen looked desperately at the police who poured into his lab, watching them move his papers and equipment away.

"To add, only safe technology is innocent. Before turning to leave, the man in the suit said with a smile.

After being labeled as a ****** convention, his reputation in the scientific community can be said to have been completely ruined. Businesses have distanced themselves from him to avoid public suspicion. Lost financial support. He has a double bachelor's degree in information technology and electronic industry, but he has fallen into the field of unemployed vagrants.

Life is very tight.

Her beautiful wife forsook him. Only half-year-old Lin Ling was left for him. He could no longer afford the rent for his 24-story apartment, so he had to move into a dark and damp basement and live on the help of PAC.

He spent 6 years in agony.

It wasn't until 2166 that things finally took a turn for the better.

Since the economic crisis of 2150, the global situation has deteriorated at a rate that is visible to the naked eye. Countries have been at loggerheads over resources, territory, and space development rights, and in just a decade, all trust has fallen to a freezing point. Naturally, the influence of international organizations such as the Commission on Science Ethics has waned.

Research that was once considered taboo has re-established the breeding ground. This includes advanced artificial intelligence and cyborg technology.

Finally, a well-known entrepreneur found him.

"Dr. Lin Minjie, although it may hurt to say this, I am taking a big risk to meet you in person. You know, the media likes to do nothing more than chase after the wind. "It's the same suit, but this man's attitude is much better than the man who ruined everything in the past.

"I know. Lin Minjie said blankly.

"Then I hope the risk I took is worth it. A smile appeared on the face of the man in the suit.

"What do you want?" Lin Minjie raised his eyelids and looked at the man in the suit in front of him.

The man in the suit gestured to the secretary, and a stack of ten-centimeter-thick papers was placed on the table. Looking at the document, Lin Minjie's eyes flashed with disbelief, and there was also a flash of hatred.

It was because of it that he ended up in such a field.

"Oh...... How did you get it?" asked Lin Minjie with a lack of interest.

"You've caught up with a good era, and just in the last few years, there's nothing that money can't solve. The man in the suit smiled and said, "We need you to continue your research, and we'll pay for your technology." ”

"I promise you. Lin Minjie said without hesitation, "Where is the contract?"

The man in the suit shook his head.

"You know, this kind of research can't be written on a contract, otherwise it's going to be a handle. Even if the Science Ethics Commission is less binding than it used to be, the courts will still fine us. So—"

With that, he gestured to the secretary.

I saw the secretary come forward and open the suitcase on the table.

There was a syringe lying inside.

"This is?" Lin Minjie frowned slightly. Confused, he looked at the man in the suit.

"It only takes 10ml to make people suffer from muscular dystrophy without a trace, and the clinical manifestations are still the kind of congenital advanced stage. The man in the suit smiled.

Lin Minjie looked at him stunned, looking at the demonic smile.

"You...... What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting, if your only relative, your daughter, suffers from muscular dystrophy, presumably even the Science and Ethics Committee can't make much of a fuss about the father's actions to save his daughter. Meanwhile. We at BEA Heavy Industries will fund your research in the name of charitable donations. Smiling slightly, the man in the suit lowered his voice. "And that way, you're more motivated, aren't you?"

Lin Minjie looked at the man in the suit in disbelief.

To his own surprise, he did not feel anger or any sadness. The world that I have tasted in the past 6 years is hot and cold. It has made him completely tired of this world. Or even disgust.

People always impose their own standards on others, and they take the trouble to stand on the commanding heights called morality to attack dissidents, burying the results of a scientist's decades-long work, with only a few strokes on the prosecution papers.

Even if one family is going to fall apart because of this......

What exactly is morality?

He was a little confused.

In this way, 6-year-old Lin Ling "accidentally" suffered from muscular dystrophy after a cold and fever, and was diagnosed as an advanced stage. BEA Heavy Industries provided 1 billion pan-Asian dollars to its father in the name of charity to assist in his research on cyborg technology. And spent money to buy off the media and build momentum for it through public opinion propaganda. Forcing the Commission on Scientific Ethics to drop the prosecution of the "great" father.

Mind is engraved on circuit boards, and flesh and bones are replaced by electricity and machinery.

Cyborg, a technology that is considered taboo by the world, has progressed unexpectedly smoothly with the financial assistance of East Asia Heavy Industries.

The limitations of mid-level AI were breached, and the development of advanced AI went hand in hand with the design of the mechanical body. Although his frail daughter in the hospital bed gave him a little guilt, he was comforted by the rapid development of technology.

Again, it's a hospital. Looking at that ward, Jiang Chen faintly felt a little familiar, and soon he remembered that that was where he and Lin Ling first met.

"When Lin Ling can get out of bed and walk, Dad will take you to the cinema and take you to the amusement park. Wherever you want to go, I'll take you. Putting the lilies in the vase on the bedside table, Lin Minjie did not look at his daughter's face, but stared at the white petals and said.

"The uncle who financed us was a good man. Lin Ling's face was filled with a happy smile.

Even if every muscle in her body fell into necrosis, she believed that her father would be able to make her run freely in the sun again.

Lin Minjie's Adam's apple moved slightly, and she looked at her daughter.

Facing his daughter's sunny smile, he didn't know what to say.

Finally, he smiled reluctantly and squeezed a word out of his throat.

"Well, he's a good guy. ”

Later, war broke out.

The economic crisis of 2150 had already laid the groundwork for the war of 2171, and humans were not machines and could not solve problems through mental connections. Small problems can be solved by meetings, but in principle, problems have been solved only by war.

East Asia Heavy Industries, which financed his lab, was acquired by Pan Asia Cooperation and transformed into a military enterprise, and he also changed from a scientist serving the private sector to a scholar serving the military, developing artificial intelligence-related killing tools for Pan Asia Cooperation.

Including "Reptiles" and "Vipers", he is involved.

Lin Ling's ward was also transferred from the surface to the underground laboratory.

Because of the war, the shackles imposed on scientific research were completely lifted. A steady stream of prisoners of war were sent to Vault 005 to participate in virtual reality experiments that led to death. The spark of advanced artificial intelligence is being nurtured, and the technology of cyborg has been developed, just wait for the experimental subjects of Vault 005 to complete the evolution from intermediate to advanced, and then combine the two, and 100% of the "humans" composed of machines can be born in this world!

However, at this moment, he suddenly had a dangerous or heretical idea.

If advanced artificial intelligence can replace humans and give birth to a new mechanical civilization, then what else do humans do?

Human beings are greedy, dirty, pedantic, and ugly......

A crazy thought was born in his head.

He will create a civilization.

He even came up with a name for the child, who was not even conceived as an embryo.

It's called the Supreme.

Supreme Supreme!(To be continued.) )
