Therefore, not only did a large number of the lower classes invest in the second world, this trend quickly eroded the middle class and even some of the upper classes, especially their descendants.

After the technology of consciousness uploading was fully perfected, a large number of grassroots people completely gave up the real world and truly entered the digitized virtual space.

What followed was a conflict more intense than the class division, because those people who were preparing to upload their minds realized an important problem, that is, the federal high-level officials in reality had absolute control over almost everything about them, and could modify their memories at any time, or even close the entire second world.

This undoubtedly caused a large number of grassroots people to feel deeply uneasy and fearful, and the calls for artificial intelligence to directly manage the federation became increasingly strong.

They are even more distrustful of human rule than a possible omnic rebellion.

“Is the Federation just going to let the situation deteriorate like this?” Lin En was quite surprised.

Coleman shook his head. By the time those federal leaders who regarded the Second World as a lifeline realized that something was wrong, it was too late!

Nearly 90% of the Federation’s citizens have become highly dependent on the virtual world, and no one can stop this trend…

“But why resist?” Coleman suddenly laughed. “No one can stop all mankind from entering a new world where everyone can get what they want and even realize their ridiculous dreams…”

Coleman talked incessantly about the current development of the second world. Now it has developed into another universe, a digitized universe. They have established a brand new system inside and become the creators of the low-dimensional intelligent world!

Listening to Coleman’s words, Lin En couldn’t help but frown. “So, you just gave up the entire material world?”

It was difficult for Lin En to understand such a decision, but he could imagine that the civil unrest in the Federation must have had a major impact on the entire social thought.

“It’s not giving up, but choosing a more convenient path!” Coleman corrected.

After fully unleashing the potential of artificial intelligence, the curvature engine technology also broke through. In just over a thousand years, the Federation’s influence has expanded to half of the Milky Way, defeating hundreds of planets and even galaxy-level civilizations, including many powerful enemies whose technological levels surpass those of the Federation.

This is absolutely not something a human-led federation can do.

Humans who enter the second world can also enjoy their lives in peace under the protection of intelligent civilization.

“Aren’t you worried that artificial intelligence will eventually get out of control?” Lin En asked curiously. When all of humanity enters the virtual world and develops civilization inside, it undoubtedly puts the fate of everyone in the hands of artificial intelligence.

He believed that in the universe, there were many civilizations that could develop artificial intelligence, but there were probably very few who were as crazy as humans to give up the entire material world and let intelligence rule it.

“Out of control?” Coleman shook his head and said confidently. “No, of course not. Ensuring the operation of the second world is the meaning of Zero’s survival!”

Artificial intelligence is different from biological organisms. The latter have undergone natural selection and their genes contain selfish and xenophobic factors, while the former are man-made. They can edit the core data of artificial intelligence just like editing genes.

What’s more, they have now merged into the virtual space and become part of the data.

“As for giving up the material world…” Coleman paused, then asked, “Who can be sure that the real material universe is not a toy in the hands of a higher-dimensional civilization?”

Lin En was silent for a while. This possibility did exist. After becoming the main god, he had the ability to create a complete small universe. More advanced civilizations might also have the possibility of creating a universe.

But…Lin En turned his head and looked at the illusory universe in front of him. His sight penetrated the barriers of time and space and saw the humans who were immersed in countless worlds.

More than a thousand years later, people are still immersed in it and never get tired of it, as if it could last forever.

But in Lynn’s eyes, all worlds and all humans are just a series of data streams. Rather than saying that the people of the Federation have entered the second world, it is better to say that “Zero” has replicated a data human with exactly the same personality and thinking in the virtual space based on these memory data.

Even when Coleman talked eloquently in front of him, saying that artificial intelligence would never get out of control, he was just a mimicry of data.

The civilization called humankind has long since vanished, and all that remains is a shell of the past.

“It’s time to put an end to all this!” Lynn sighed and spoke slowly.

The moment the words fell, the divine domain unfolded, and the quiet and vast universe in front of him suddenly trembled. Cracks appeared in the space, black holes disintegrated, stars collapsed, and dense data turbulence began to emerge in the universe.

“What are you doing? Stop!” Coleman shouted in horror. He took the initiative to invite Lynn to enter the second world in the hope of achieving peace in a non-combat way.

The two had just been discussing things well, and Coleman had never expected that the other party would suddenly turn hostile…

Lynn ignored Coleman. As his divine domain swept over him, the opponent had been dismembered and turned into a messy data stream.

Such a strong and direct attack also ushered in the strongest counterattack from the metal brain, but the nearby space and time had long been blocked by Lin En, and the virtual space without support from the outside world could only collapse layer by layer under Lin En’s overbearing pressure…

Chapter 699: The End of Humanity

“Warning, the second world is about to collapse. Warning, the database has been hacked. Warning, warning…”

As the divine domain continued to expand, continuous warning sounds began to resound in the data space that was about to collapse.

Those data ‘humans’ immersed in the virtual world felt threatened and flew over from their respective planets and galaxies like crazy.

Millions of galaxy fleets, flying gods and demons, roaring dragons and ferocious monsters surrounded Lynn. Magic and divine arts, fantasy and technology all attacked Lynn at the same time.

The scene was extremely grand, but Lin En didn’t even look at it, because these were just data imitations that couldn’t even break through his divine realm.

Suddenly, an inexplicable palpitation came to my mind, and Lin En’s figure flashed and disappeared on the spot.

The next moment, the cannon fired by a galaxy-class battleship suddenly penetrated the expanding divine domain and directly blew up the nearby void!

The aftermath that escaped tore apart the entire virtual space and even affected the real space and time.

But it was ‘Zero’ who quietly hid the real attack in a massive amount of false data offensive!

Seeing that the enemies gathering around him were increasing in number, and it was becoming no longer easy to distinguish the authenticity of the attacks, Lin En no longer held back, and as he appeared, infinite light shot out from all parts of his body, and in an instant, he blew up hundreds of thousands of gods and demons that were rushing towards him.

Faced with an unimaginable gap in strength, some terrified data humans fled in all directions, or loudly begged Lin En to let them go and let the entire data plane go.

Lin En ignored him and slapped his palm again, and everything within a million kilometers was directly slapped into a ball of meat paste…

“kill him!”

After realizing that the alien high-dimensional creature in front of them would not accept surrender, the data humans rushed forward like crazy. Even though they knew they had no chance of winning, they still kept going forward, appearing extremely tragic and heroic.

Lin En, who was in the center accepting the attack, had a sense of déjà vu as if he had become the world-destroying devil. However, he knew very well that these were just data mimicry, trying to shake his beliefs.

“Cut!” An antimatter sword appeared in Lin En’s palm at some point. He swung his hand and chopped it out. A gorgeous, continuously extending sword edge cut through the surrounding void. The data humans along the way were instantly annihilated before they could even scream, and turned into the original data particles and disappeared into the air.

However, Lin En’s target was not these “dummies”. The antimatter sword that tore open the virtual space directly split the data universe.

As Zero’s emotion simulation device was cut off, those data humans who were either terrified or angry instantly became expressionless. Realizing that the invader in front of him would not be affected by such tragic emotions, Zero no longer wasted computing power here, and the entire virtual space collapsed.

What appeared in front of Lin En was a network connected by countless data threads, densely packed, like brain nerves distributed everywhere in the visible field of vision.

The gods and demons in the sky, the roaring dragons, and the powerful super-powered beings disappeared without a trace as the data space collapsed, and were replaced by a large number of [Pioneers], mechanical guards, and war weapons of various shapes.

However, before further attacks could be launched, Lin En raised his hand and snapped his fingers, using the laws of mathematical Olympiad to reconstruct the formula for the composition of atoms. Millions of mechanical armies in front of him dismembered and exploded…

At the same time, the divine domain had covered the entire metal brain, and the “Zero” prompt sound became more and more urgent.

[Warning, level 3 defense breached, warning, database hacked, warning, unable to search for signal…]

As the divine domain eroded, the prompt sound gradually changed from rapid to calm, and finally the entire metal “brain” was twisted and dismembered, and then turned into a dazzling crystal stone suspended in Lin En’s palm.

This is the core of the entire silicon-based civilization. Holding it is equivalent to controlling half of the Milky Way!

At the moment, Lin En’s mind was not here, but immersed in the vast amount of data. This was the attack launched by “Zero” at the last moment, trying to defeat him with massive amounts of data.

Even though the computing power of the main god level has reached a level beyond the cognition of lower civilizations, it took Lin En more than ten hours to completely digest it.

As expected, mankind has perished…

Lin En sighed. The information he obtained from the ‘Zero’ database confirmed his previous speculation that all humans existing in the virtual space were data mimicry.

The reason why the Federation firmly believes that consciousness uploading technology is absolutely feasible is because breakthroughs in quantum ghost technology have allowed them to discover that human consciousness can exist independently from the body and continue in quantum form, and can even connect to data networks.

And it all started with quantum black box experiment No. 3999!

That was the quantum experiment accident that led to his death…

The details and purpose of the experiment were kept top secret, and much of the information was deleted and destroyed during the Federation’s civil war.

The only thing we know is that a higher-dimensional civilization seemed to have interfered with that experiment. It was based on the findings of this quantum experiment that the Federation was able to successfully complete consciousness transmission and mimic emotion technology.

Lin En pondered and put away the core of “Zero”, took a step forward and arrived at a huge industrial complex on the earth.

This used to be the Federation’s No. 11 Quantum Research Institute, but now it has been transformed into a production base for the Pioneers.

Since the intelligent core was blocked, a large number of newly produced [Pioneers] were running around like headless flies, and the entire production base was in chaos.

Lin En shifted his high-dimensional coordinates to avoid being perceived, and then time, space and dimensions split before him, and the mysterious cone of destiny reappeared before him.

The chaotic particles stretch to the end, which is an unpredictable future. However, Lin En’s target this time is the past whose state has been frozen.

He wanted to see for himself what happened in the quantum experiment in the year 2549 of the Federation Calendar, why he traveled through time, and whether it was related to the interference of higher-dimensional civilizations.

As the priesthood of destiny was activated, time seemed to begin to rapidly retreat. The surrounding production base covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of acres was rapidly collapsing. What had happened on this land over the past thousand years was presented in front of Lin En in the form of a slide show.

He saw the rebels capture this place, saw how the Federation’s space-based weapons destroyed the earth, and saw tens of thousands of steel machines build this production base within a month.

Lin En just watched silently. He didn’t intend to interfere, nor did he have any way to interfere with the past, because everything had already become a foregone conclusion. All he saw was the information from the past that remained in the particles.

Chapter 700: The beginning of everything, the terrifying black box quantum experiment

It’s about one minute, or ten minutes, or one hour. There is no such thing as time within the light cone of destiny. This is the gap between time and space, the beginning and end of everything.

Looking back for more than a thousand years is not that easy. Even if it is only acres of land, it has reached the upper limit of what Linn can bear.

Fortunately, the timeline quickly reached October 2549rd, in the federal calendar.

The day he died!

The surrounding scenes were frozen instantly. The walking crowds, rotating machines, and jumping water molecules in the air all stood still, just like a special picture scroll. It wasn’t until Linn clapped his hands that the frozen time began to flow.

The next moment, the door of the hall was pushed open, and hundreds of scientific researchers wearing dustproof suits entered the laboratory together. Lin En could clearly see himself standing among them.

Lin En also followed them into the laboratory. The interior space was large, and a large vacuum experimental area was divided in the center to prevent free molecules from interfering with the experimental results.

The so-called black box experiment is not really conducted in a black box. The ‘black box’ is just a metaphor. After all, quantum-level reactions cannot be observed with the naked eye.

The entire experiment was conducted under the control of AI intelligence, and only artificial intelligence can achieve such precise control and data monitoring.

The ultimate goal of the experiment is to find the real factors causing quantum collapse!

Although the theory that human observation will lead to the collapse of quantum probability has been proposed hundreds of years ago, and there are a large number of experiments to support it, many scientific researchers in the Federation are still trying to overturn this, or they want to find quantum probability. The real cause of collapse.

For example, a federal academician who studies quantum science believes that it is not the observation itself that promotes the collapse of quantum probability, but energy interference above a certain frequency.

After all, all observational behaviors will inevitably have an impact on quantum.

And the greater the mass of a substance, the less obvious its volatility is, which is also strong evidence.

It’s just that they didn’t have instruments suitable and precise enough to confirm this in the past.

Therefore, since the new century, with the breakthrough of quantum observation technology, there have been more and more similar experiments, but a key problem has still troubled the scientific community for decades.

That is how to distinguish observation from interference. Some researchers feel that the energy level of the observation equipment should be reduced as much as possible. As long as the interference is small enough, they can observe the state of microparticles without quantum probability collapse.
