No one knew what Chen Chen and the other four regulators had discussed.
At the end of the meeting, although the four of them were reluctant, they had no choice but to agree to use a few cities as demonstration sites to introduce Blacklight Biotechnology's "Skynet System" and "Electronic Magistrate".
The so-called "Skynet System" was a project to replace human law enforcement with an intelligent AI system. The first step was to use ultra-high-definition cameras with multiple functions such as "face recognition" to cover the entire city. The cameras had to cover all public areas without any blind spots.
This included companies, shops, streets, elevators, and corridors of residential buildings. All public areas had to be connected through the cameras and handed over to the AI system for monitoring. If there was any sign of a crime, the AI system would notify the law enforcement department without the need for the victim to call the police.
This was the Skynet System.
The "Electronic Judge" would hand over the judgment of the case to the artificial intelligence to analyze and judge. All trial procedures would be intelligent and transparent. The grassroots and middle level of the government would not be able to interfere unless the offender had access to the Skynet System. Otherwise, the root of the problem of under-the-table manipulation, favoritism, and bribery would be eliminated.
Only the higher-ups, especially the higher-ups of multiple departments, would have the authority to override the judgment of the Electronic Judge.
The reason Chen Chen wanted to implement all of this was because he had sensed the threat of the subspace. Based on the conversation he had with the three consciousnesses in the subspace, he knew that humans, as intelligent beings, were the most vulnerable to the subspace's influence.
The subspace was like a mirror of reality. It could reflect the thoughts, emotions, and spirit of intelligent beings. The emotions of countless beings in the multiverse gathered here and slowly grew stronger.
Chen Chen detected a trace of malice in these words. It was the natural malice of the subspace toward intelligent beings.
Therefore, he sped up and tried to implement the SkyNet system with his own power. He wanted to accelerate the birth of the third sub-era, the SkyNet era, so that the entire human society would be more civilized and orderly. Civilization and order would be the most powerful rule against the subspace.
Everything Chen Chen had done was to lay a foundation. Now that the foundation had been laid, it would not take many years for everything Chen Chen envisioned to come to fruition.
"The path for the third subera has been paved. Next, let's leave everything to time."
After ending the meeting, Chen Chen silently calculated everything. It was at this moment, Chen Chen suddenly received another message from Little X.
"Sir Godfather, I found Wang Xi..."
"Professor Wang Xi?"
Chen Chen was taken aback. "You mean, you found traces of Professor Wang Xi on the Internet?"
"Yes."
Little X's voice was also a little uncertain. "According to my original records, Wang Xi should have completely disappeared from this world due to an antimeme. Although I knew about Wang Xi's existence before this, I only learned about it from you. But just now, I suddenly found out that Professor Wang Xi's information was silently lying in my database, and this is a complete set of information, including his childhood, deeds, work, family, and everything else!"
"In other words, Professor Wang Xi is back?"
Chen Chen rose to his feet and waved his hand. A hologram automatically appeared in front of him. It was densely packed with information and data. All of this information was related to Wang Xi as if it had appeared out of thin air.
"Wang Xi is currently in Haizhou City, Mainland China... Teaching a class in the Department of Biology at Jiao Tong University."
Little X hesitated. She did not seem to believe what she said. "That's right, I hacked into the network of Jiao Tong University. He is currently teaching a class and he is also teaching a new batch of biology students as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences..."
Chen Chen no longer hesitated when he heard this. He walked out of the office and went directly to the teleportation room of the Spire Experimental Base. After that, he used the Gantz sphere to teleport to Haizhou City.
"Boom!"
There was a loud sonic boom. Chen Chen rose into the air at dozens of times the speed of sound and flew toward the direction of the city. However, the closer he got to Jiao Tong University, the more cautious and solemn his expression became.
At the same time, his speed dropped from dozens of times the speed of sound to several times the speed of sound and continued to drop. By the time he reached the sky above Jiao Tong University, he had completely dropped below the speed of sound.
Chen Chen stared at the university that had long been renovated and descended vertically from the sky. In his palm, a black slate flickered faintly. Under the influence of the black slate, countless people came and went on the campus, but no one noticed Chen Chen's arrival.
Chen Chen, who had descended from the sky, stared at the familiar old teaching building in front of him. He thought for a moment and finally stepped forward, step by step, into the building.
At last, Chen Chen came to the door of a classroom.
The door was made of some kind of sandalwood that had been used for many years. After so many years, there was not much change to it. Chen Chen reached out slightly and pushed the door forward.
"Creak!"
The door opened in response.
Behind the door was a familiar large multimedia classroom. The stepped desks were arranged in a fan-shaped pattern. In the deepest part of the classroom, there was a podium that had been changed into a holographic projection. On the podium, an old man with gray hair and a kind face was telling the story with a smile on his face —
"A person's life is limited. Everyone will grow old and die, but who knows why we grow old and die?"
"As we all know, the unit of life is the cell. Each of us here is born from the cell division of a tiny fertilized egg... However, this division isn't infinite.
"In theory, human cells can divide up to 56 times at most. Based on the calculation of the cell division cycle, the limit of human life should be around 120 years. This theory is called...
"The student over there who's burrowing under the table, you answer —"
"Hahahaha!!"
There was a burst of laughter below the podium. At the same time, a boy with a flushed face crawled out from under the table. He stood up and said helplessly, "Is, is it the Hayflick limit?"
Chen Chen stood at the last exit of the classroom and silently watched this scene. At this moment, the scene in front of him completely overlapped with Chen Chen's memory. Chen Chen suddenly looked a little dazed, not knowing whether this was a dream or a reality...
"Correct answer, please take a seat!"
At this moment, the old man waved his hand and smiled kindly at the boy. "However, our human technology is advancing with each passing day. We've developed various technologies that can prolong life, including the most iconic 'Age-reversal Treatment'."
"Based on current technology, the average human life has been extended by about 20 to 40 years. It has already exceeded 100 years and may even exceed 120 years in the future. The Hayflick limit has been broken, but this isn't enough...
"Actually, we humans can still live longer!"
"Mechanical ascension, genetic ascension, psionic ascension... Among these three paths, I'm most optimistic about the path of psionic ascension. But no matter what, everyone here, you are the generation closest to eternal life in human history!
"I have to say, we humans still know nothing about the vast sea of truth. Perhaps even the far-fetched dream of eternal life is only the first step in the pursuit of truth...
"But no matter what, the future belongs to you. Alright, class dismissed!"
Following the old man's order, the bell in the classroom rang at the same time.
"Clap clap clap..."
There was a round of applause in the classroom. After that, the young students stood up with excited expressions and walked out of the classroom one by one.
These people walked past Chen Chen, but when each of them came in front of Chen Chen, they would involuntarily take a detour. Moreover, while taking the detour, they did not even look at Chen Chen at all. It was as if Chen Chen in front of them was just a wall or an inconspicuous decoration to them...
After that, all the students in the classroom left, leaving only two people in the large classroom.
One was Chen Chen.
The other was the old man who was still smiling — Wang Xi.
