Chapter 100: Collective Declaration

A group of high-level executives led by Lu Yuan, the CEO, were like holding a ceremony, and in the eyes of all the company's employees, they personally granted permission and opened the main template console of the dawn system.

Once they have completed their authorization, the Dawn System devices in all regions of the planet will be activated, and all the company's employees who have signed the Ascension Agreement will begin their ascension journey together.

At the same time, Lu Yuan, or the CEO of the Gray Gu Company, ยท XT-000 was officially launched on the public communication channel, and his voice was like a speech, solemn but without a trace of alternative emotion, and he made a declaration to all the company's employees:

"Hello to all the employees of the company, including me."

"I'm here in my capacity as the CEO of the Gray Gu Company to have a conversation with each and every one of you."

"First of all, each of you is an independent individual, and the whole formed by the convergence of countless individuals is our company today, so we are now an absolute whole, and at the same time, we are also a collective with lofty ideals!"

"Over the past few years, the civilization formed on our foundation has stood on this planet, striving for a common good and a common future."

"In order to develop, we have given up many things from the past and the old era, but that kind of abandonment does not mean that it is cut off, the company continues to innovate in the field of science and technology, and our technology has now supported the distant stars and the more distant world......

"One day, our civilization will stand on the top of the sea of stars, and by that time, we must have gone through the vicissitudes of life and overcome countless hardships together, which is a difficult and long road."

"Walking on such a path, we are destined to become a lonely civilization."

"On the way to explore the stars, we should have been ready to declare war on all unknowns!"

"And in the vast universe, we will encounter more, other, alternative civilizations, and in the process of contact with those civilizations, war and destruction are inevitable, because hostile eyes may lurk in every corner of the starry sky."

"Every possible war, every possible hostility, will bring sacrifice and suffering to our civilization, and the price of those sacrifices and sufferings is also likely to be a direct annihilation, permanent destruction!"

"In order for that tragedy not to happen to our civilization, we must achieve a ascension, a collective ascension."

"We need to upload our consciousness and replace ourselves with a stronger, more eternal body, so that we can avoid those unnecessary sacrifices and avoid the destruction that those unknown disasters may bring!"

"That's why the "Synthetic Age Project" came into being!"

"The company is aware of the worries of some employees, and many people will wonder, will it be you who upload their own consciousness?"

"Will you still be the same as you who have been upgraded to synthetic mechanical life?"

"In this regard, the only explanation that the Gray Gu Company can give to all employees is-"

"You are still you, you were and will be, but you were in the past will draw a clear line between you in the future."

"In the past, you were weak and pitiful, and you would cause conflicts and disputes between each other because of various differences, but in the future, you will be free from this unjust fate imposed on you by nature, and our collective will achieve a truly equal ......."

"There will be no more prejudice and ambiguity, no more disputes and internal turmoil between each individual and we will be truly united, driven by a common destiny, towards a more distant future!"

"In the past, we may turn into dust and dissipate, but in the future, we will carry our will to civilization and completely exist in this universe!"

"In the past, we may be destroyed by all kinds of unknowns, but in the future, we will no longer accept the fate of being destroyed, and we will live forever with our civilization!"

Any manifesto is a speech with a certain incendiary connotation.

However, within the Gray Gu company, where interests are paramount, almost the vast majority of employees are able to treat this declaration from the CEO rationally.

They do not reject the inflammatory language in the manifesto, but feel that this is the right part of the manifesto.

Many of the company's employees view the declaration with an appreciation for new literature and art.

Especially those employees who have already soared to become synths.

"I can prove to you first-hand what an amazing experience it is to ascend." A synthesizer employee turned on his biosimulation function, simulated the appearance of an ordinary person, and explained in a gentle voice:

"As the CEO said, I may have died before the ascension, because I watched 'my body' be pushed into the treatment plant and burned into a pile of pure organic and inorganic matter."

"I used to die, but it doesn't prevent me from still alive now, seeing my past body destroyed, I also had sad emotions, but because I was so sad, I was a little out of control, in order to avoid making a fool of myself, I took the initiative to turn off the sad setting in the mood simulator, and then I felt much better."

"Now I, or we, can control my body more easily and casually, and our perception of our body is no worse than before the ascension, after all, we are loaded with quantum sensors, which are much more fun than the simple neural sensing system of ordinary people."

"We can do a lot of things you can't, like this......"

As he spoke, the synth employee reached out and removed his head on the spot.

Swish! Boom!

The alloy body fell to the ground with a bang.

"......" surrounding employees.

Drip!

After a few seconds, the synth employee stood up again and cursed:

"Damn, I was so excited that I almost shut down the core energy control."

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€

As he spoke, he held his head and said as if showing off to the other company employees around him:

"Look, we can screw our heads off and kick them as balls, can you do that?"

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€

"Of course, none of this may be important, the most important thing is that we ...... after the ascension," the employee continued quietly as he put his head back untouched:

"The original thoughts, the original thoughts, have never disappeared, just as before the ascension!"

"We are simply shaping the original world into a mirror image of ourselves, replacing the fragile and powerless flesh with eternal and perfect metal!"

"The so-called ascension only means a comprehensive upgrade and evolution."

"Other than that, nothing else has changed, and the company's technology can be completely trusted."

"So, what are you waiting for?"

"Join the glorious evolution, my fellow citizens!"

The employee's remarks made some employees who were originally hesitant to sign the ascension moved, and other employees who had signed the agreement and were waiting for the use of the dawn system equipment for the ascension were excited.

Only a few nearby employees who had also become synthetics a long time ago, looked at this guy and were puzzled, and they also learned from each other to reach out and lift their mechanical heads.

As a result, the thread did not move.

But why was this guy able to take his head off so easily?

How?
