Galactic Age, January 14, 221.

Azure Star, Frost Plating Southwest, Nadivir Island, Stygian Heavy Industries Headquarters.

This former tourist resort left over from the old era was left behind when the evil of the Entropy King swept the world.

After the ocean evaporated, heavy snow and glaciers buried it for a whole century, fortunately, due to the shallow seabed in which it was located, Nadivir Island was stranded directly on the continental shelf, and was eventually taken over by Stygian Heavy Industries, which was transformed into a de facto unsinkable fortress through hundreds of years of transformation, serving as the headquarters and military base of Stygian Heavy Industries.

Due to the high level of binding to the continental shelf and the danger of glaciers, this island has become the most special fortress of Azure Star.

If you want to destroy the brood of this dark heavy industry, you need 4,957 tactical nuclear weapons, 1 million infantry landing, 200,000 armored forces, and the materials consumed are about 120 trillion Red Arrow Jialun, even the four countries dare not pay such a big price easily.

What's more, as a neutral group enterprise, Shadow Heavy Industries actually has the status of a political entity, and many people are optimistic that they will become the next GTB, and even wish that Shadow Trace would rise and compare with GTB.

On this side are the trusts of biology, heavy industry, and medicine, and on that side are the syndicates of education, energy, and communications.

As you can see from their business areas, there is bound to be a battle between the two.

Stygian and GTB are positioned as 'Dragon Quest' in the story, and Shikoku is happy to see the two organizations fighting each other.

Large and small rotary-wing transport planes take off and land non-stop, transport a large number of products to all over the world, and then spit out real money everywhere, turn around and continue to load goods, full of sailing. Along with it, there is also the group's carefully trained security team and [Biochemist].

N4 sat quietly on the carpet in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, her slender legs folded together, the fire burning red and warm, and she admired the snow drifting outside the window.

"This month, the Frost Plating Council has restricted the entry of our biochemists. In total, 55 people were forced to remain in the Frost Plating territory. ”

The synth secretary reported the situation without emotion:

"The group's newly acquired 'Motzeen Life', the share price has decreased by 12.5%, which is the Red Arrow behind the scenes to promote the anti-monopoly process, ready to prohibit our pharmaceutical companies from entering the Red Arrow capital area."

"It's not a big deal, just leave it to the localities to deal with themselves."

N4 held up his delicate and smooth chin and looked indifferent:

"How's the situation with the Sulan Action Group?"

"They collided with GTB's elite operators, failed the mission, killed 12 people, survived two, and only brought back a piece of professional-level knowledge."

"GTB is really hard to deal with, if you want to pick out a punctuation mark from these people, you have to spend millions of Red Arrow Jialun."

N4 is not sad or happy, such losses and gains can only be regarded as no loss or gain.

"As for the Ministry of Intelligence, there is still no whereabouts of elite knowledge?"

"Director Alcuco has emptied his staff, and at the moment he is a bare-bones commander who is simply not in a position to carry out operations."

"I don't want to complain, I just want the result, he has failed to meet the KPI for four consecutive months, and he can't go on to reincarnate in the biochemical pool by himself, and the group doesn't need wine bags and rice bags."

"Follow your will, pioneer." The synth said respectfully, "I have already told Chairman Elasel, and he will convey your will. ”

N4 didn't change, instead raised his hand and looked at the slightly loose skin on the back of his hand.

This body is a year older.

She's running out of time.

How high a [biochemist's] achievement is, you only need to look at whether he is young forever.

The more confident people are in their own strength, the more they will trust their own transformation technology, technology can deceive time, but it cannot deceive forever.

When he/she begins to grow old, it means that his/her skills have reached the limit level, and he can no longer maintain his youth and life, and his mentality will also become old and timid, and his excessive intelligence will give them too stubborn personality.

Perhaps due to the influence of the Tao, the more advanced the martial artist, the more humble he often becomes, but the more stubborn the scholar always becomes in his old age, firmly believing in his own worldview.

N4 is an exception, her machine-like rational and pure personality makes it easy for her to accept her own shortcomings and flaws, and to face them objectively and calmly.

"The environment of the Azure Star is too poor for people to be promoted to the path above the gamma level, and my lifespan should be almost up."

N4 raised her hand, and the fine nanopolymer tentacles popped out of her palm, plucking her eyeballs from their sockets, and she said casually as she disassembled the underlying crystals and brushed silicone grease on the heat dissipating nerves:

"There are no new Gamma Orders left to replace me, and the position of 'Pioneer' will be vacant in a few years, so the board of directors had better prepare early."

"The system shows that there are two more gamma-class bioavatars in our inventory."

"It's not a physical problem."

N4 reattached the eyeball, the optic nerve reconnected, and the emerald green eyes lit up all of a sudden, as if they had suddenly changed from a polymer to a real life.

"My mind is gradually weakening in the process of constantly changing and transplanting my mind. With my level of intelligence and brain development, I should have remembered the explosion at the Haramut lab 239 years ago – but now, I'm starting to forget it. ”

N4 rubbed his temples and stared intently at the snow ahead:

"There is no eternal life. Death is a natural, necessary, universal disaster arranged by the Creator for mankind. ”

"Have you ever considered retransplanting your brain?"

The synthetic's eyes lit up, and the quantum computer in the brain gave a suggestion:

"Re-clone a body from the stocks you deposited in the sperm and egg banks through the culture chamber."

"Pointless. In my life, I have uploaded countless consciousnesses, changed countless bodies, and transplanted brain cells have already multiplied hundreds of trillions of times, and each time I transmit, I am accumulating a state of myself. ”

N4 said coldly:

"That's – chaos. The strength of my consciousness has reached its limit, its information entropy is about to peak, and today's technology can no longer eliminate it. ”

"Mortals cannot live forever, whether it is the digital consciousness upload, or the replacement of the physical body, my telomeres and chromosomes are all normal, but the level of confusion of consciousness is about to reach the maximum."

"I'm sure that this is a problem that Azure Star's extraordinary knowledge can't solve, and only the [Biochemist] elite knowledge that may exist in GTB's hands may be able to change."

That's why she's sending agents to hack into GTB's headquarters and steal supernatural knowledge.

However, since the group's best Sulan Action Group has failed.

"Without the leadership of the pioneers, the Shadow will lead to ruin." The synth secretary said.

"Destiny is so."

Until he knew that his limit was approaching, N4 remained calm and indifferent.

She doesn't care about anyone's life, not even herself.

"I'm going to apply for a funeral for you, perform an autopsy and seal it in the inventory according to your wishes."

The secretary bowed his head and stepped back for the time being.

N4 stares out the window at the world.

As a science and engineering background, in charge of the science and technology heavy industry group of the top academic and chaebol, she has almost no pursuit of beauty, has never cared about her own dress in her life, there is no so-called entertainment in her personal life, and more money is invested in the work of the operation group.

Until now, when death was approaching, she often watched the snow outside her window.

Under the semi-open barrier launcher, there was no false sun at the Stygor Headquarters, but a silently dark snowy night.

Is there anything nice about this? Others are puzzled.

yes, nothing to look at.

Even N4 doesn't know why he's doing this so often now.

Just as she watched the snow in silence, there was a sudden knock on the office door.

Tuk tuk!

"Your Excellency Pioneer, something is wrong."

Outside the door, there was an urgent triple knock and a loud shout.

N4 remained motionless, sitting still, watching the dark night snow.

"Your Excellency the Herald, Albolinta, Albolinta!"

The N4 head said without looking back, "What's wrong with Albolinta?" ”

"Alborinta, gravitational wave receiver on the ground!"

The executives of the underworld heavy industry outside the door were so excited that they couldn't express their excitement, and they hesitated for a long time before they organized the language and said clearly:

"Just four minutes ago, the staff of regular maintenance noticed that two vacuum tubes had burst, and the No. 3 energy unit was alarmed, and after repairs, the coding unit began to work."

N4 looked up slowly.

"After examination, we received gravitational waves that were different from the previous giant objects such as Beta-3 and Qiheng-5, and this time we received information with a regular arrangement, which is incredible...... This must be a signal from an extraterrestrial civilization. ”

She stood up, walked to the window, and raised her hand, through the glass, trying to hold the snowflakes up.

"The result of the decipherment is as follows:"

Today, why does she want to see the snow so much?

"- Happy birthday, dear lady N4."
