North America, deep in the Sonora Desert, in a top-secret underground research laboratory.

Steve. Ballmer looked at the hundreds of researchers in white overalls in front of him, and said with a serious expression: "Ladies and gentlemen, after this period of experiments, the application technology of brain-computer interface has made breakthrough progress. Today, we're going to have the 53rd experiment, massively multiplayer scene interaction, and the experiment starts in 10 minutes, everyone, come on!"

With Steve's order, all the researchers returned to their respective posts and quickly manipulated the dazzling pile of professional equipment in front of them.

For a time, in the hall of nearly 1,000 square meters, the sound of keyboard tapping was constantly in the ears, and complex data and graphics were constantly presented on hundreds of screens, looking at it, it was like a scene in a science fiction blockbuster.

On the opposite side of the hall, through a thick layer of large, bulletproof glass windows, twenty test subjects were silently half-reclining on specially made chairs. They were both men and women, but all of them had shaved hair, and their smooth scalps were covered with dense electrode patches with long cables attached to them.

At this point, all of these subjects fell into the deepest sleep.

"Scene 1 is ready, and the countdown to the experiment is 10 seconds, nine, eight, seven, six......"

"Uh~~~"

Elam let out a groan of pain, a slight burning sensation that made him feel a little uncomfortable.

The scene in front of him gradually became clearer, the dilapidated buildings, the pungent smell of burning rubber tires, the dried bloodstains, and the few broken corpses not far away, suddenly evoked the fear in the depths of his memory!

"Where am I? Isn't the war over?" Ilam's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Whew!" There was a sharp whistle, and a bullet hit the wall not far from him, splashing large pieces of rubble and hitting him in the face, making him feel a tingle!

"There are enemies!" Instinctively, Elam rolled around, quickly searching for a weapon on the ground.

As far as the eye could see, a worn-out AK was lying quietly in the corner, and he hurriedly grabbed it.

The sound of bullets gradually intensified, mixed with the sound of shells exploding.

Elam clutched his gun and leaned against a half-collapsed wall.

He could clearly hear a dense stream of footsteps in front of him, and he could even hear the soldiers talking in English.

"These damn devils!" Ilam touched his body, and a familiar touch came from his hand, it was a Type 7 grenade.

He clutched the grenade tightly in his hand and prayed that the soldiers would not find him, but the footsteps were getting closer!

Knowing that he couldn't dodge, Ilam gritted his teeth, pulled the grenade in his hand and threw it in the direction where the soldiers were talking.

The next second, he stood up abruptly, picked up the AK and fired wildly at the opposite side.

"Die, die, ah~~~" Elam shouted frantically.

"Poof! Poof!" Dense bullets came and pierced his body, causing him to feel a piercing pain. ….

In the next second, his eyes went black and he gradually lost consciousness.

"Target 2 is determined to be dead, with 63% of the brain damaged and irreversible."

"Target 3 is determined to be dead, with 72% of the brain damage and no recovery."

"Target 9 attempted to force awakening, the pontine control area was successfully blocked, and the brainstem was mildly damaged."

……

As the experiment progressed, through the thick glass wall, the bodies of twenty test subjects could be seen shaking violently from time to time, accompanied by painful and frightened expressions on their faces!

"Scene 1 experiments end, and the surviving subjects rest for ten minutes before moving on to the next scene. Personnel are to dispose of the dead test subject."

With a calm and cold command, a dozen staff members entered the subject's glass room and carried out the six subjects who had just died in the test scene.

A table not far away

Son, Steve. Ballmer looked at the scene in front of him, the expression on his face calm. A sleek head also wears a ring with a metallic sheen attached to it, with many electrode patches attached to it, and a cable dragged behind it.

Although Steve. Ballmer didn't speak, but in fact, he was in a conscious exchange with Cortana.

"Great God, the lab model of the original prototype has been tested, the compatibility with the next generation of personal computers has also been tested, and the two classic application scenarios that have been released have been officially finalized. In October of this year, we are ready to officially launch this device, and I'm sure gamers around the world will go crazy about it!" Steve. Ballmer spoke to Cortana with consciousness. At the same time, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, indicating that he was in a very good mood at the moment.

"You're doing a great job. We need to put the equipment on the market first and cultivate the user's habits. Our goal is to make our device available to as many people as possible around the world in the shortest possible time. Steve, you have to remember that making money isn't our goal, promotion is."

"Of course I understand, great God, rest assured, we have a perfect plan to make it easy for the vast majority of people in this world to have this device, and for that, we can even sacrifice some of the benefits of the moment."

"You're smart, just do it. In the future, the whole world will be ours."

"Understand, great God, thy servant doeth thy will."

"Steve, there's one more thing you need to keep going. Zhou Na was rescued by Xu Fuhai, she will inevitably leak my secret, and the Neptune Group is likely to carry out some unfavorable actions against us in the future, we must be prepared in advance."

"Don't worry too much about this, great God. Xu Fuhai seems to be busy with a big project lately, he has completely downsized his global business, cashed out a lot of money, and built on a small island in the South Pacific, but now he is out of the limelight, and it is said that the satellites of several countries are now facing there day and night." ….

"I already know about this, have you found out what he's going to do?"

"There is no definite news yet, and the Neptunus Group has done a good job of secrecy. However, according to the internal conclusions of the security services, the Neptunus Group is likely to be building some kind of nuclear project. Now that some organizations have asked the official of the Neptune Group to give a clear answer, it is estimated that they are also in a state of trouble now."

"The Neptunus Group's scientific and technological research and development capabilities are very strong, we must pay close attention to their every move, if necessary, I will allow you to use official power, and I will provide you with a list when the time comes!"

"Yes, great God, rest assured, I will clear all the power in your path!"

Wrapping up this exchange of consciousness, Steve. Ballmer got up from his seat again and walked to the bench.

"Scenario 4 test ended, all test subjects are dead, data collection is ......"

Listening to the debriefing of the staff, Steve. Ballmer's face was as usual, and after tidying up his clothes, he walked out of the lab.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Half a month has passed since the start of the construction of TO Island.

In the past half a month, this calm island can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes!

From the air, the upper half of the mountain range has completely disappeared from the small island that used to be in the shape of a gourd, replaced by a super-huge ring-shaped complex.

This huge complex, with a diameter of more than 20 kilometers and a height of more than 200 meters, looks super spectacular!

In the inner and outer parts of this huge circle, there are dense scaffolding, and countless construction workers are all over the place, busy with their work. Thanks to their efforts, this huge ring-shaped building is "growing" upwards little by little at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Around the building, more than a dozen "Tian Kun" cutter suction ships are roaring and carrying out operations, and thousands of tons of sediment are blown into the surrounding area of the island every minute

The periphery of the ring, too, is "growing" outward little by little because of the operation of the "Tian Kun".

In the air, thousands of "Hercules" transport vehicles are constantly traveling back and forth along a specific route, transporting concrete, steel, cables and even various prefabricated building modules to the designated place in a steady stream, providing the "nutrients" needed for "growth" for this super huge ring.

Farther away, in mid-air, on a super luxurious private flying car, Xu Fuhai, who single-handedly created this ring, was comfortably leaning on the airline seat, sipping top red wine while enjoying this rare and spectacular scene.

"Michelle, I've worked hard for you this time. The project is going so well, you have worked so hard." Xu Fuhai looked at Lin Mixue, who was sitting next to him, still busy working on documents, patted the back of her hand and said.

"It's okay, you and Allure haven't been idle much during this time, by the way, Lao Xu, is the experiment going well?" After Lin Mixue finished signing a document, she immediately turned to look at him and asked.

"Well, the first phase of testing has been completed, and the overall progress is now more than 70% complete. I expect the entire experiment to be completed by the end of the month at the latest, which should be sooner than the overall project. By the way, is the procurement of those large equipment going well?" Xu Fuhai asked with some concern. ….

When it comes to planetary-scale nuclear fusion technology, millions of related equipment are required, many of which are high-precision equipment, and it is not easy to get them.

"It's not particularly smooth, but the overall procurement progress is already halfway through, and several key technologies are being negotiated with relevant countries, although there are certain difficulties, but I believe that as long as they pay enough benefits, they will compromise." Lin Mixue said with a smile.

"Well, don't worry about money, this thing, smashing pots and selling iron has to be made!" Xu Fuhai looked at the construction site below and said with a firm look in his eyes.

"Lao Xu, there is something that I have been worried about." Lin Mixue looked at him and said with some concern.

"What's the matter?" Xu Fuhai looked at her with a smile and asked.

"This technology is too advanced, I'm afraid that when we succeed in developing it, some forces will want to pick peaches."

Lin Mixue said, took out a document and handed it to him.

"You see, this is an official document from the Pakistani government, protesting against the dangerous construction of unknown purposes on the island, demanding that we immediately stop the construction and provide them with relevant instructions, otherwise we will take back the ownership of the island." VIII 1

Xu Fuhai looked at the document with a sneering look on his face.

"Pakistan? In a small country with a total population of only a few million, the GDP of the whole country is not enough for a day's expenses on my construction site, who gave them the courage to do this?"

Xu Fuhai threw the document back on the table, leaned his head on the headrest of the sofa, waved his hand and said, "Don't pay attention to them, it is estimated that the master behind them can't sit still, let them out and bark a few times first, and see our reaction."

"That being said, we also have to prepare for both. After all, we've thrown all our wealth on this island. What if these scoundrels are unreasonable and use military means against us?" Lin Mixue reminded worriedly.

Hearing her words, Xu Fuhai turned his head to look at her and asked with a smile, "Wife, do you know why I insist on doing this project on this small island, instead of being in China? With my relationship with Lao Lu, if this project is in China, it will definitely be smoother."

"I know you want to completely control this project in your own hands, so you choose not to do it in China. But Old Xu, do we really have the ability to fight those means?" Lin Mixue asked.

"As long as we can get this project done, you don't have to worry about the rest!"

Xu Fuhai said, holding her hand hard and giving her a firm look.

"Have you forgotten about the Wang family?"

Listening to his words, Lin Mixue couldn't help but have a cold war!

"Lao Xu, I don't allow you to do such a dangerous thing again! If that's the case, we'd rather not have this project! Even if you go to ask for food, I won't let you suffer that sin again!" listen

At his words, Lin Mixue immediately remembered the terrifying scene when he cast the bloodline curse.

"Haha, what do you old think? Don't worry, I won't use that again. What I want to tell you is that as long as this project is completed, when the time comes, I will have more powerful means than that! Hmph, some people better not be careful, or I'll make them regret coming into this world!"

Speaking of which, Xu Fuhai's voice gradually turned cold, and his eyes became sharper!

After experiencing the affairs of the Wang family, he has a more intuitive and profound understanding of the law of the jungle in this world. Since he wants to do this, he is ready to face the storm!

Even, for the next storm that will come, he still has some expectations in his heart!
