From star abyss

Galactic Era, January 14, 221.

Azure Star, Frost-coated Southwest, Nadivir Island, Dark Trace Heavy Industry Headquarters.

This former tourist attraction left over from the old era was left outside the order when Lord Entropy's evil swept the world.

As the ocean evaporated, heavy snow and glaciers buried it for a full century. Fortunately, due to the shallow seabed, Nadivir Island was directly stranded on the continental shelf. It was eventually taken over by Mingji Heavy Industry, and through several After a hundred years of transformation, it was transformed into a de facto unsinkable fortress, serving as the headquarters and military base of Mingji Heavy Industry.

Due to its high connection with the continental shelf and the danger of the glacier, this island has become the most special fortress on the Blue Star.

To destroy the mother nest of Mingji Heavy Industry, 4957 tactical nuclear weapons, 1 million infantry landings, and 200,000 armored forces are needed. The materials consumed are approximately worth 120 trillion Red Arrow Jialun. Even the four countries do not dare to pay so much easily. price.

What's more, as a neutral group enterprise, Mingji Heavy Industry actually has the status of a political entity. Many people are optimistic that they will become the next GTB, and they are even eager for Mingji to rise and compete with GTB.

Here are trusts in biology, heavy industry, and medicine, and over there are syndicates in education, energy, and communications.

It can be seen from their business fields that the two are bound to have a battle.

Mingji and GTB are positioned like the "Dragon Quest" in the story, and the four countries are happy to see these two organizations fighting against each other.

Rotary-wing transport aircraft of all sizes take off and land non-stop, transporting large quantities of products to all parts of the world, spitting out real money everywhere, then turning around to continue loading cargo and sailing fully loaded. Also setting off together were the security team and [Biochemists] carefully trained by the group.

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, while she admired the snow falling thousands of miles outside the window.

"This month, the Frost Plate Council restricted the entry of our biochemists. A total of 55 people were forced to stay in Frost Plate territory."

The synthetic secretary reported the situation without emotion:

"The share price of the group's newly acquired 'Mocain Life' has dropped by 12.5%. It is Red Arrow that is advancing the anti-monopoly procedures behind the scenes and is preparing to ban our pharmaceutical companies from entering the Red Arrow capital area."

"These are not big things, just leave them to each locality to handle."

N4 held his delicate and smooth chin with a calm expression:

"How is the situation of the Xulan Action Group?"

"They collided with the elite operators of GTB. The mission failed. 12 people died. Two people survived. They only brought back a piece of professional-level knowledge."

"GTB is really difficult to deal with. If you want to pluck out a punctuation mark from these people, you will have to spend millions of Red Arrow Jia Lun."

N4 is neither sad nor happy. Such losses and gains can only be regarded as neither loss nor gain.

"In the Ministry of Intelligence, is there still no whereabouts of sophisticated knowledge?"

"Director Alcuco has emptied his staff of employees. He is currently a mere commander and cannot carry out operations at all."

"I don't want to complain, I just want results. He has failed to meet the KPI standards for four consecutive months. If he can't do it anymore, he will throw himself into the biochemical pool. The group does not need a free meal."

"Follow your will, Pioneer." The synthesizer said respectfully: "I have already informed Chairman Ellasu, and he will pass on your will."

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

This body is one year older.

Her time is running out.

How high a [Biochemist]'s achievements are can be known by looking at whether he stays 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 it forever.

When he/she starts to grow old, it means that his/her technology has reached the extreme level and can no longer maintain his/her youth and life. His/her mentality will also become aging and timid. Excessive intelligence will also give of their overly stubborn personalities.

Perhaps due to the influence of the path, warriors tend to become more humble as they become more advanced, while scholars always become more stubborn in their later years and firmly adhere to their own worldview.

N4 is an exception. Her machine-like rational and pure character makes it easy for her to accept her own shortcomings and flaws and face the problem objectively and calmly.

"The environment of the Blue Star is too poor for people to advance to the path above the gamma level. My lifespan should be almost over."

N4 raised her hand, and fine nanopolymer tentacles popped out of her palm, and took her eyeballs out of their sockets. While she took apart the underlying crystal, and brushed silicone grease on the cooling nerves, she said nonchalantly:

"There is no new Gamma Order in Mingji Heavy Industry who can replace me. The position of 'Pioneer' will be vacant in a few years. The board of directors had better prepare as soon as possible."

"The system shows that we still have two gamma-level biological bodies in our inventory."

"It's not a physical problem."

N4 reinstalled the eyeball, the optic nerve was reconnected, and the emerald green eyes suddenly lit up, as if they had suddenly transformed from a high-molecular polymer into a real life.

"My thinking gradually became weaker in the process of constantly changing clothes and transplanting thoughts. With my level of intelligence and brain development, I should have clearly remembered the Haramut laboratory explosion 239 years ago. ——But now, I have begun to forget.”

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

"Human beings cannot live forever. Death is a natural, necessary, and common disaster arranged by the Creator for mankind."

"Have you ever considered re-transplanting your brain?"

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

"Clone a body again through the culture chamber using the stocks you deposited in the sperm bank and egg bank."

"It's meaningless. I have uploaded my consciousness countless times in my life, changed countless bodies, and the transplanted brain cells have multiplied hundreds of trillions of times. Each transmission is accumulating a personal state of mine."

N4 said coldly:

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

"Mortals cannot live forever. Whether it is uploading digital consciousness or replacing the physical body, my telomeres and chromosomes are all normal, but the degree of confusion in my consciousness is about to reach its maximum."

"I am certain that this is a problem that cannot be solved by the extraordinary knowledge of Azure Star. Only the sophisticated knowledge of [Biochemists] that GTB may have in hand may be able to change it."

This is exactly why she sent agents to invade GTB headquarters and steal extraordinary knowledge.

However, since the group's best Xulan action team has failed.

"Without the leadership of Pioneer, Mingji will fail." The synthetic secretary said.

"It's destiny."

Until he knew his end was approaching, N4 still maintained a calm and indifferent attitude.

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

"I will apply for funeral services for you, perform an autopsy and seal it in inventory according to your last wishes."

The secretary nodded and stepped aside for now.

N4 stared at the world outside the window.

As a science and engineering graduate who is a top academic and chaebol in charge of a technology heavy industry group, she has little pursuit of beauty. She has never cared about her outfit in her life. There is no so-called entertainment at all. She spends more money on it. to the work and career of the operating group.

Until now, when her death was approaching, she often looked at the heavy snow outside the window.

Under the semi-open barrier transmitter, there is no false sun at the Mingji headquarters, but a quiet, dark snowy night.

Is there anything interesting about this? Others are puzzled.

Yeah, nothing to see.

Even if I am N4, I don’t know why I often do this now.

Just as she was watching the snowy scene in silence, there was a sudden knock on the office door.

Tuk-tuk-tuk!

"Your Excellency Pioneer, something big has happened."

There were three eager knocks on the door and shouts.

N4 remained motionless, sitting where he was, watching the dark night snow.

"Herald Lord, Albolin Tower, Albolin Tower!"

N4 said without looking back: "What happened to Albolinta?"

"Albolin Tower, gravitational wave receiver on the ground!"

The executive of Mingji Heavy Industry outside the door was so excited that he couldn't express it in words. He hesitated for a long time before he organized his words and said clearly:

"Just four minutes ago, the regular maintenance staff discovered that two vacuum tubes burst, and the No. 3 energy unit alarmed. After repairs, the coding unit started working."

N4 slowly raised his head.

"After inspection, we have received gravitational waves that are different from the previous huge celestial bodies such as Beta-3 and Qiheng-5. What we received this time is information with regular arrangement. It is simply incredible... This must be from an extraterrestrial civilization. Signal."

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

"The deciphering results are as follows:"

Why did she want to see snow so much today?

"——Dear Ms. N4, happy birthday."
