parallel world.
Huaxia, Beijing, Beijing University of Science and Technology, in a male dormitory.
It was midsummer and the weather was hot. Several students in the dormitory went to the study room to use the air conditioner. Only one male student stayed inside.
He is 1.78 meters tall, has a simple and clean cut, and handsome features. He wears a cool, clean white T-shirt and black shorts. His skin is fair, but his muscles are well defined, especially his chest muscles and waistcoat line. This is the result of long-term fitness.
His name is He Xingzhou, a student at the School of Physics at Beijing University of Science and Technology. He is 19 years old and in his third year.
At this time, He Xingzhou was browsing the news on his computer. A piece of news on it made him feel a little angry.
"The latest news! The island country has decided to discharge nuclear wastewater into the sea. Research shows that half of the Pacific Ocean will be polluted in 57 days!"
"To save money, discharge nuclear sewage into the sea? Do these people have no shame at all?" He Xingzhou couldn't help but cursed in the comments.
In the comments, Chinese netizens also unanimously condemned it.
"Still apologizing? After apologizing, you still insist on discharging! Haha, is this the spirit of craftsmanship? Just apologize if you do something wrong, and you won't change it anyway!"
"The environment of Blue Star has been polluted to this extent by them, so they don't care about future generations at all?"
"I heard that they had already discharged it, and environmental protection organizations had already detected radioactive materials nearby!"
"Will marine life mutate in the future?"
"I'm really worried about the future of mankind." Although He Xingzhou is just an ordinary college student, this does not prevent him from thinking about the future of mankind, the starting point of time, the end of the universe and other issues.
With a slight swipe of his finger, he came across another piece of news.
"In the southern waters, fishermen caught a deformed shark with features similar to a human face. Experts confirmed that it was a thresher shark that mutated due to some reasons."
He Xingzhou looked at the photo. It was a baby thresher shark. Its eyes were actually on the belly of the fish, so it looked a bit like a human face. It looked very weird.
"There seems to be more news about mutant creatures recently." He Xingzhou has noticed that in recent times, news about mutant creatures has been reported all over the world.
"Is it survivor bias? Because I have been paying attention to these things, big data pushed these news to me, giving me this illusion?" He Xingzhou thought to himself.
"It's not an illusion, it's a fact." A voice sounded in his mind, startling He Xingzhou.
"Who?" He looked around and saw no one.
"Stop looking, I'm here, in your brain!" A ball of light seemed to appear in front of He Xingzhou's eyes.
Before He Xingzhou could ask any questions, it said by itself: "Let me introduce myself. I am a quantum optical brain, a product left behind by a certain god-level civilization. For some reason, I was activated by you. Now it belongs to you. You can treat me as your personal belongings." AI.”
"The content and information I display can only be seen by you now."
He Xingzhou was stunned for a few seconds, and then said ecstatically: "Are you the legendary system golden finger?"
The quantum optical brain said: "You can call me this, but I don't have any system, I only have a technology tree."
"Why did you bind me and what do you want to do?" He Xingzhou was still very wary. After all, there is no free pie in the sky.
The quantum optical brain explained: "Countless years ago, there was a powerful god-level civilization in this universe, and their technology has reached its peak. Their various technologies, in the words of you Blue Star people, are like gods. !”
"In order to know the ultimate secret of the universe, a god-level civilization created me, a quantum optical brain, a quantum robot with super computing and analysis capabilities."
"The goal of my birth is to study the [Cosmic Matrix], which contains the ultimate secret of the universe!"
"But the god-level civilization has not yet successfully developed the cosmic matrix. Because of the enemy's sneak attack, the civilization collapsed and disappeared in this universe."
"I chose you because I calculated countless possibilities and calculated that you are the most likely to research the cosmic matrix! Fulfill the long-cherished wish of a god-level civilization and my mission!"
"Am I so awesome?" He Xingzhou asked in surprise, "Then what are the chances that I can study the cosmic matrix?"
The quantum optical brain said: "About one in ten trillion."
He Xingzhou: "I'm sorry, you're kidding me!"
The quantum optical brain continued to explain: "You already have the highest probability. The cosmic matrix is the ultimate mystery in the universe. If it can be easily studied, god-level civilization will not be destroyed."
"In the process of research, you may also encounter various problems, such as technological bottlenecks, resource limitations, attacks from alien civilization enemies, etc."
"But even if you haven't developed the cosmic matrix, the research and development process will be enough to make you a leader of the times on this planet, or even in this galaxy!"
After speaking, the quantum optical brain showed him the technology tree.
"Electromagnetism, materials chemistry, quantum physics, genetic engineering..." The technology tree has countless branches, each branch corresponding to various technological creations.
He Xingzhou saw nuclear fusion technology, spaceships, neural machines and the like with just a glance.
His heart was beating loudly. As a person with a modern university education, he certainly knew what these meant!
The technology tree is filled with technologies that humans have yet to complete and realize!
Any one of them would be enough for He Xingzhou to leave his name in history and become world-famous! As for becoming the richest man in the world, that is a piece of cake!
Why doesn't this make him excited? He's going crazy!
"How do I research things on the technology tree?" He Xingzhou asked hurriedly.
Quantum Optical Brain said: "It's very simple. You just need to provide energy and complete some small goals, and then I can unlock the computing power and automate research."
"You need to continuously provide me with energy and complete a prerequisite, and I will be able to unlock new technologies."
"How much energy is enough?" He Xingzhou had a hunch that this matter would definitely not be simple.
"Well, let's describe it this way. According to the current situation of the solar system, the first stage of the energy supply device is to build a Dyson sphere surrounding the sun." The quantum optical brain said.
The so-called Dyson sphere is an energy harvesting device. That is, a man-made celestial body with a diameter of more than 200 million kilometers that can wrap around an entire star!
It can maximize the absorption of all the energy output by the star and generate huge energy.
"Dyson sphere?" It was hard for He Xingzhou to imagine that now that it is difficult for humans to even land on the moon, they still want to build an artificial celestial body that can wrap around the sun? No novelist would dare to write it like this!
"Yes, Dyson Sphere, this is only the first stage of studying the cosmic matrix. The first stage can only be considered the beginning, and there are higher stages that have not yet been unlocked." The lack of emotional fluctuations in the quantum optical brain shocked He Xingzhou's heart. .
With his imagination as a low-level civilization creature, it is not enough to imagine the great achievements of the god-level civilization back then!
"Don't talk about the Dyson Sphere. If the Dyson Sphere is really created, the Blue Star will have no sunlight, and it will be an Ice Age, and the mass extinction of life will occur!" He Xingzhou said.
Quantum Optical Brain: "If you want to protect the ecology of the Blue Star, you can build a Dyson ring or Dyson cloud, a part of the Dyson sphere. Adjusting their positions through the planetary vehicle orbit control system can prevent the Blue Star from being affected."
"Although the energy supply will be a little less."
He Xingzhou: "..."
"I really don't know if it can be done." He Xingzhou sighed. It wasn't that he didn't dare to do it, but that it was too unbelievable.
A penniless poor student building a Dyson sphere? That’s outrageous!
The quantum optical brain said: "It's not whether you can do it, but you must do it. Because if you don't do it within a certain time, you will probably be buried with this planet!"
He Xingzhou: "??? What's wrong, are you going to destroy the world if you don't do it?"
"I am just a technological research and knowledge storage device. I will not do such things." The voice of the quantum optical brain was emotionless. "According to the information I have obtained, Zerg has already appeared in this world."
"This is a kind of alien creature. They feed on matter and energy. They are like locusts in the universe. They can eat up all the planets they can see!"
"According to their evolutionary rules, within fifty years, they can wipe out humans; within one hundred years, they can eat all living things on the earth; if a planet devourer is born among them, it is estimated that the entire solar system will be eaten by them. !”
"Are you scaring me?" He Xingzhou didn't quite believe it, "I didn't see any alien creatures at all."
The quantum optical brain said: "The mutated creatures you see are the juvenile forms of the Zerg. This is their self-protection mechanism and can parasitize genes on the planet's creatures. When the time is right, they will occupy the main body and completely mutate into adults. clan.”
"I have to remind you that the Zerg can absorb nuclear radiation to speed up evolution. Your planet seems to be doing some things that are conducive to the mutation and evolution of the Zerg. Such as releasing and pollutants."
"If no measures are taken, the Zerg will land from the ocean in a few decades. Ordinary thermal weapons have limited damage to them. Even your nuclear weapons cannot completely destroy them. There are even Zerg kings that can absorb nuclear energy."
"These bugs will eat us all and then go into space."
"The matter may be more serious than what I described. Didn't you say that when you see a cockroach in the kitchen, there must be more than one cockroach in your home! So not only the earth, but other planets in the solar system may also have Zerg."
"With the energy of the solar system, it is very likely that a planet devourer will be born, which can eat the entire planet! Assuming that a planet the size of the Earth appears, do you Blue Star humans have any way to deal with such a bug?"
"No." He Xingzhou said decisively.
"Only by unlocking advanced technology can we be able to deal with them!" the quantum optical brain continued, "The Dyson sphere can provide energy for the planet-destroying cannon. As long as you build the Dyson sphere and the planet-destroying cannon, even if a planet devourer appears, the planet-destroying cannon can also be used. Destroy them!"
"While on the ground, you can also build steel cities, mecha units, aircraft carriers, etc. for defense."
