Chapter 713: The Situation on This Planet

Hao Ren tinkered for a while to figure out the basic operation method of the "personal computer" on the table, it looked somewhat similar to the laptop on earth, but the keyboard function and system architecture were very different, if it weren't for the help of the brain translation plug-in and past experience, it might have taken him longer to figure out how to look up some information from this device.

After opening a bunch of apps by mistake, he thought he had found something similar to a browser, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was connected to the Internet.

"I really don't know how this kind of world keeps the global network open," Hao Ren looked at the pictures and text that slowly refreshed on the display screen, and muttered curiously, "Could it be that there are still people who come to this place to collect network fees?" ”

Hao Ren's eyes looked at the computer screen, and he also followed the nonsense: "Don't you think this setting is very touching to the telecommunications personnel who are sitting in armored vehicles and holding light machine guns to repair optical cables?" ”

"If you have nonsense, you might as well help me think of a few search keywords," Hao Ren rubbed his fingers, "This thing is much more convenient than asking the locals." ”

The number jù terminal replied casually: "Natural man, one generation evolutionary, second generation evolutionary, war, world situation - these key words are definitely true." ”

Hao Ren was a little rusty about operating the computer in this world, and what he wanted to know was finally presented in front of his eyes completely.

The war that has spread across the globe has been going on for three whole generations.

The humans of this world call the planet under their feet "Zhuomu", which is actually similar to the "earth" in the world, but in order to show the difference, the transliteration of the local common language is still chosen. And the last peaceful time on the planet Trom ended more than sixty years ago.

Some old people are accustomed to refer to that last period of peace as the "Pastoral Age." It was the last peaceful and prosperous life enjoyed by humanity on this planet, and it will probably be the last glorious period of human history. In that era, mankind ushered in the explosive development of science and technology. The advent of two technologies seems to put an end to all the problems and hidden dangers of the planet: one is reliable nanotechnology, which comes from a consortium of countries in the northern hemisphere. Scientists believe that the emerging nanomachine swarm will completely solve a problem including environmental pollution, human diseases, natural modification and even alien colonization. Another technology is an evolvable biochemical plug-in, a mechanical device that can be implanted into the human body and can coexist completely with biological tissues, and this mechanical device can even develop synchronously like the host's innate organs, relying on cellular energy to sustain lifelong operation.

Scientists hope that these cutting-edge machines can be used to break down pollutants and treat damage in humans, and biochemical plug-ins are the basis for a leap forward in the human body. With the assistance of modern medicine, the human race has escaped the supervision of the natural law of survival of the fittest, so the evolutionary process has long been stagnant, and science and technology are becoming more and more advanced. Flesh of the human being. Bodies are primitive in nature, and scientists believe that biochemical plug-ins will once again push humanity to the forefront of evolution, because the ultimate form of these plug-ins is to become part of the human body, fundamentally changing human life forms.

There is no doubt that in the last peaceful years of the planet Drom, the whole world was immersed in an atmosphere of joy and confidence. Despite the persistence of conservative skeptical and wary of new technologies, these minority voices were quickly drowned out by the cheers of people around the world.

As technology matured, a group of people called "evolutionists" officially appeared. They are a new type of human being implanted with various modification inserts in their bodies, such as neural enhancement bundles, auxiliary memory chips, and neuro-computer interfaces, which give them various abilities that are different from ordinary humans, and this kind of people should have been called "modifiers". However, due to the biological nature of the plugins themselves and the nature of co-growth and evolution with the host, the first people to receive the plugin transplant called themselves "evolutionaries".

As told in many stories, there was friction between the evolutionary and the purebred natural man from the beginning, and the innate advantages of the evolutionary squeezed out the living space of the natural man. However, natural man, with its huge population base and the social resources it occupies, has imposed all kinds of harsh restrictions on evolutionary man. Either way, this friction was expected from the start, and sociologists and scientists believe it to be normal "social change pains". Therefore, human society is still functioning normally.

It wasn't until sixty-five years ago that a catastrophe erupted in the Northern Hemisphere. started the "Great War" that continues to this day, and also wiped out the prosperity of the planet Zom.

Of course, Hao Ren was extremely concerned about this disaster. But he searched a lot of information but found that it was full of loopholes and contradictions, the truth of 65 years ago had been destroyed by the war, and all the forces in the war were desperately trying to record and publicize the beginning of the war in their own favor. In the end, Hao Ren sorted out only a few useful clues: the beginning of the disaster seems to be multifaceted, including food contamination, a financial crisis, and an evolutionary riot, and the most lethal direct cause is a runaway accident in the nanomachine swarm.

Sixty-five years ago, the command center of the largest nanomachine cluster in the northern hemisphere of the planet was suddenly attacked, and three giant computers called "Juggernaut" crashed at the same time during the attack, directly directing the sea of nanomachine clusters around the command center out of control. After the fleet's own safety devices failed for unknown reasons, the micro-machines, which were supposed to be used to decompose inorganic waste and purify water, flowed to the surrounding cities, directly dissolving the three largest cities in the world at the time, including a national capital.

The Great War, which lasted for sixty-five years, began with this, and it was chaotic from the beginning.

At that time, the results of the investigation of the incident have been sealed by history, but there are many rumors on the Internet. It is said that there is tangible evidence that the attackers were the radicals among the evolutionaries, and they obtained the direct control authority of a part of the nano machine group with the help of the special brain chip function of the evolutionary, and the purpose was to release the rampaging nano machine group to massacre natural people on a large scale, destroy the population advantage and social resource advantage of natural people, and then use the nano machine group to build a country belonging to the new human beings on the ruins, but because the computing power required to control the machine group is too large, all the evolutionaries who launched the attack died due to brain overload." Juggernaut" in the machine room. Other rumours say that the attack was carried out by a country in the southern hemisphere or by an extremist religious group...... In short, there are many theories, and there is only one conclusion: the loss of control of the nano machine group has destroyed the international balance of power in the northern hemisphere, a large number of second-tier countries want to take advantage of the situation to compete for the boss, and the contradictions between natural people and evolutionaries have also been completely intensified, and under the impetus of a series of subsequent events, the war has spread to the entire planet in a runaway situation.

No one could have imagined that this war would last for sixty-five years, until now it has destroyed almost all order on this planet, and a deformed, surviving human civilization has long since disappeared.

After knowing the cause and current situation of the planet, Hao Ren entered the detailed entry about "evolutionary", and he finally figured out what was going on between the first generation of evolutionaries and the second generation of evolutionaries.

The relationship between the two generations of evolutionaries is not a literal "generational" relationship, but refers to the modification technology they each use. The technology of the Evolver was based on biochemical plug-ins, and the early bio-plugs could only be applied to more mature individuals, and implantation usually occurred after the age of fourteen - or even later, eighteen. This type of implant surgery is performed on a mature human body, so the modification process is limited, usually with some partial limb reinforcement, and obvious surgical marks can be seen on the outside of the body, such as the slot in the back of Nolan's head. Because of the primitive nature of this modification technique, those who adopt it are called "first-generation evolutionaries".

To this day, new "first generation evolutionaries" continue to emerge, often mercenaries who have to be modified in order to survive on the battlefield or to mend fatal injuries to their bodies.

The second generation of evolutionaries are humans who use more advanced implantation technology, and they only appeared after the outbreak of the Great War, and they are the "high-tech achievements" researched by the extremists among the evolutionaries after they successfully established a political power. Unlike the first generation, these people were modified at the embryonic stage.

Human beings seem to have played the role of creators, developing "mechanical cores" with "genetic information", and they implanted these bean-sized mechanical cores into human embryos, and newborns are already superhumans fused with flesh and machinery as soon as they are born. The reinforcement beam that grows from the core of the mechanical core will grow with the human body, almost as if another body is growing in the human body at the same time.

These people are the "second generation of evolutionaries."

Hao Ren glanced at the blonde girl lying quietly on the bed, and thought of the heterogeneous but completely fused pipes in the other party's flesh and blood.

"Your current body is a second-generation evolutionary," Hao Ren poked at the face of the number of jù terminals (tentative version), "and I don't have any mechanical plug-ins on me, so in the eyes of the locals, I am a purebred natural person." No wonder they were so surprised to see us together—both camps were now brainstorming. ”

"Actually, the Cheng dù of your body transformation is taller than anyone else," the number jù terminal muttered, "and this machine is now using a tattered shell that can't even open its eyes...... And a hole was broken! ”

Hao Ren rolled his eyes: "The dead are the greatest, can you stop complaining, how miserable this girl died, you still occupy other people's corpses......"

The number jù terminal shouted: "Then you come in and try?!" ”

Hao Ren: "......" (to be continued......
