Chapter 41: The Emperor
What's even more terrifying is that they're not just beasts. But...... Clever beasts.
Their brains are structured enough to support their human judgment and logical thinking.
Such a clever and brutal beast is a disaster for humanity.
Fortunately, I expected it. The first few subjects were all kept in cages, with little damage.
But this problem must be solved.
The Provisional Government granted itself the right to conduct human experiments directly. As a result, these early test subjects became test materials.
It was only then that I realized that the so-called "thought copying" technology was actually not difficult at all. The difficulty is that in a well-established and well-functioning society, limited by moral systems and values, there will be no test subjects for experimentation at all.
But, now are the end times.
There is no morality in the last days.
Throwing away the shackles of morality and having enough test subjects, it didn't take long for the mind copying technology to develop by leaps and bounds, and finally began to be applied to reality.
As a result, these "clones" that have been directly created - humans prefer to call them "imitation humans" to distinguish them from normal humans, so that they can quickly have customized thinking.
The blueprint of thinking comes from some people who are dying because of old age or illness.
Although the mind scan will cause them to die in agony, they will die anyway, so it is better to use the waste.
In the eschatological world, there is not so much humanity or mercy to speak of.
An architect's blueprint can be copied and produced countless people with an architect's thinking. In addition, in the process of reproducing thoughts, you can also add certain specified rules to this thinking, such as "absolute obedience to the orders of superiors", "even if you die, you can't damage the interests of the base", "people can't harm normal people", and so on.
These rules are hidden deep in the bottom layer of people's thinking, and are similar to the shackles of physiological structure. Theoretically, it is impossible for them to break these rules because they do not have this function.
It's like a car that can only run on the ground and can never fly into the sky on its own.
The appearance of a large number of people with a high level of knowledge, and who will never betray if they are always loyal and will not betray, even if they are treated as consumables, are thrown into the ruins of the city, and do not complain about collecting various materials at the risk of danger, and will not hesitate to rush into the ruins of the nuclear power plant to transport equipment, which greatly relieves the tension of the base and greatly improves the living environment of the base.
He broke through the technology of imitating people and became a hero of the future human world.
But doom did not leave the human world. After several years of hope, the earth's self-purification ability has greatly improved the earth's environment, and even when the sky is no longer full of haze and the sun can be seen faintly, bad luck strikes again.
An aftershock destroyed years of hard work.
The flame of civilization, which was already extremely fragile, was completely extinguished with this catastrophe.
Society is completely broken, and order is gone. In the final stages of civilization, chaos reigns supreme until the last man dies.
….
In the midst of hunger and cold, he also ushered in the end of his life.
Tang Yun still remembered the scene before he died. At that time, I no longer felt hunger, I didn't feel cold, and I didn't even feel pain. Everything in the world seems to be in the fog of the misty lake, like a dream between sleep and sleep.
When the consciousness disappeared completely, the next moment, he woke up suddenly.
White ceilings, soft single beds, and the right temperature. Push open the window, and the warm air comes in with a fresh smell.
Beyond the window, there are spacious and clean streets, old people taking a leisurely stroll, office workers in a hurry, and trees gently swaying in the breeze.
Everything was like a dream.
He died, but he came back.
Yes, back.
Back in time when I was sixteen.
This year, it is more than 30 years before the end of memory and the asteroid reaches the earth.
Tang Yun thought about it for a long time, but he didn't know why he was able to travel back. Is it a passing alien? Or is it some unknown physical mechanism? Or...... I just had a dream, I just grew up in a dream, and then I encountered the end of the world, and when the end of the world ended, I woke up?
This is something that must be verified.
How is it verified?
Very simple.
In my memory, my city will soon have an unprecedented lottery jackpot winner, with a total prize of 26 million.
This thing, in the "dream", or the world before the time - whatever it was, anyway, I had those memories, and in those memories, because people had been talking about it for years afterward, I happened to remember the series of numbers.
So, on the way out of school one day, I took out some of the pocket money given by my parents and bought a lottery ticket.
Then, the 13 million jackpot came as promised.
At this moment, Tang Yun still clearly remembered that he felt not only excitement, but also ...... Fear.
It turned out that everything was true. It turned out that he had really "crossed over". It turns out that the end of the world more than thirty years later is also true.
At this moment, he was originally going to confess to the government agencies and turn himself in.
Although I am only a biologist, I have mastered some knowledge other than biology. Some larger events, although there were not too many in the previous life, but relying on developed online media, I always wrote down some.
Earthquakes, tsunamis, plane crashes, diseases, floods......
Based on these memories, you can make many prophecies. These prophecies can confirm their identity as "traversers". He was sure that the government agencies would believe themselves and their prophecies.
Then, in this lifetime, the scientific and technological progress of human civilization will be greatly accelerated, and it will be possible to prepare for the asteroid that destroyed human civilization more than 30 years in advance.
The superposition of the two phases, in the future, through some means to change the orbit of the asteroid to avoid the catastrophe of the end times, there is a high probability that it can be done.
There was a time when Tang Yun believed that this was his mission to be reborn once.
….
The unknown existence that leads to "crossing" in the dark, and this is what you want to do.
But, just as he had already picked up the phone and was about to turn himself in, other thoughts took over his mind.
Do you really want to confess all this?
Do you really want to eliminate the advantage of being born again?
What do you gain and what do you lose?
After confessing everything, he will inevitably become a hero in the human world. But...... Just stealthy heroes.
It is impossible for the general public to know their names. Because crossing this kind of thing is too terrifying, the world government will definitely hide the truth, ***.
The world government will definitely give itself a great reward, and this reward will definitely support oneself to live comfortably in human society until the end of one's life.
But, is this really what I want?
No matter how much money you have, can you decide life and death in a word? Can you decide the fate of tens of millions of people while talking and laughing? Can you do whatever you want, kill whoever you want, have as many beauties as you want, and can put your will above the rules of society?
No.
No amount of money can be used. Because this is a world with "rules".
In this world of rules, everyone has to follow the rules. Anyone's actions must be restricted.
Money can't do it, but power can.
A result of many restrictions, seemingly rich, but without any power, and many things cannot be done as you want, are you willing?
I can come to a higher position and become the master of all mankind. I can put my will above everyone.
Even if I can't become the master of all mankind, I can still make a huge fortune by relying on my status as a time-traveler—no matter how little, it will definitely be more than the reward that the world government may give.
That being the case, why not choose a better ending and a worse one?
Therefore, the identity of his own traverser cannot be revealed to the world government.
But in this case, the end will not be avoided.
So...... Don't avoid it. Let the end come.
A huge plan was quietly generated in Tang Yun's mind.
Rely on the advantage of foresight to quickly accumulate huge wealth. Then, secretly build as large and luxurious and sturdy underground bases as possible under the proven safe zone to escape the end times.
——Didn't I look forward to it thousands of times if I could know the end of the world in advance, know the location of the safe zone in advance, and build a huge base here in advance?
Now, my dreams can come true.
After the end of the world, we will rebuild human civilization.
If you have mastered human cloning and mind copying technology, you will have a group of absolutely loyal followers. Although there are many limitations and abilities are relatively low, it is a big deal to recruit a group of normal people from the outside world. Anyway, with this group of absolutely loyal men, no one can shake my position.
At that time, I will be the rightful king of mankind.
I will have power that no one else can match, and my will will will be above all.
….
I will completely loosen the many restrictions on human research, and I will recruit more scientists and create more test subjects to jointly conduct more in-depth human experiments in order to seek a way to "live forever".
I want to be the emperor of the human world, I want to be the emperor of the human world forever, I want to be the master of this earth, I want to transform this planet according to my wishes, I want to have the clearest sea, the most delicate sandy beach, the bluest sky, the most vast grassland and forest......
It's all my playground.
That's what it's really about being born again.
Tang Yun clearly remembered that on the night when his parents had already slept, lying on his single bed, listening to the occasional car horn outside the window, he really made up his mind.
After that, it was very logical.
With your own adult social experience, it is only a simple matter to conceal that everyone receives lottery prizes. It just so happens that this year is the year of the World Cup, through some means, recruit some people, help yourself bet the prize money on different gambling platforms and sports lottery platforms, and then smoothly withdraw the bonus, although it is a little troublesome, but it is definitely not difficult.
In this way, his wealth skyrocketed for the first time.
Then there's the virtual currency, and then there's the investment company......
Parents, relatives and friends were amazed by their own changes and the skyrocketing wealth, and they also used these skyrocketing wealth to provide them with enough returns.
All those who have been good to themselves are all rewarded a hundredfold and a thousandfold. All those who have sinned against themselves will rely on their wealth to make their lives worse than death.
Happy life, but that's it.
However, the core secret has never been known.
This is my biggest secret.
The base was finally built, and the people were successfully produced. After that, it is necessary to expand the types of impersonants, which requires more blueprints, and more high-level intellectuals from society who volunteer to act as blueprints.
Thus, there was the "prophecy" plan.
In this way, I don't know how many high-level intellectuals have volunteered to become blueprints for themselves to scan their minds at the cost of their own lives.
But even at the end of their lives, they did not regret it in the slightest.
And, it seems, too
It can't be said that they died like that. After all, there are many, many people who are modeled after them. Their lives have been continued in another way.
Until the end was approaching, relying on the Hongwei earthquake, the closest major event to the end, he completed the last recruitment, and recruited more than 500 experts in various disciplines at one time.
With the simulants, with the *** and egg bank, with more than 500 normal scientists, with the normal cultivation in the base, the normal growth from embryos to adults, brainwashing since childhood, the same loyal subordinates, with enough material reserves, and most importantly, with the shelter of the Ark base, finally, everything is ready.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
As long as the end comes, everything in the future will surely be realized according to one's vision.
I, the Son of God, Tang Yun, will become the master of the entire earth.
Now, that day is getting closer. It's still a little exciting to think about it.
At this moment, in the core of the Ark base, in the sacred church, on the wide divine seat, the tea in Tang Yun's hand did not know when it had turned into red wine.
A dozen or so loyal and beautiful girls still knelt beside them, waiting to be summoned at any moment.
On the big screen in front of him, the number representing the impact probability has become 36.5%.
The countdown time is 1.16.52.36.
There is still more than a day to go, and the end is coming.
Nebulae fall in smoke and rain
