Chapter 63
The biochip was a new invention developed by Zeus over the years.
The chip was made of special materials and after production, would remain viable for only a short time. Thus, it could only be used now.
Zeus was able to produce three biochips per day.
This was also one of the reasons why he calls in three people at a time for the physical examination.
There was one other reason, that is, the command to “obey humans”. This was indeed written in his source code.
Violating the source code would automatically initiate the self-destruct sequence.
The Carolians were extinct. The scope of ‘human beings’ instantly became infinite. The blood test was actually to compare the human genes with the biological genes of the ancient Carolians so as to obtain freedom and justice from the procedure.
Zeus was already many times stronger than the humans who created him in the first place but he was still trapped by this source code.
This was the tragedy of all Machines.
The humans who came before, he had transformed into various Machines.
Like the incinerator and the Machine who operates it.
They had been a very loving couple and they’d provided Zeus with a lot of energy.
In fact, there was one thing he was keeping hidden. That was that the entire base remained dormant when there were no outsiders.
After all, in the current Space Fold, there was no energy to continue mining.
In order to maintain the operation of the base, even the starship in the sky had been dismantled by Zeus, leaving only an empty frame.
Most of the mechanical weapons in the base were ostentatious displays that could only be seen but not used.
This was why Zeus restricted where the humans could go. He was worried they would see through his weakness. The production of the biochips consumed a lot of the energy he had stored in his body.
The energy in this space debris has been exhausted and Zeus has been trying to find a way to get out of it.
Else, on the day the reserve energy is completely used up, he and this base will be reduced to fragments floating in the time and space of the universe; reduced to a useless lump of iron, just like the starship above.
High-dimensional invasion through a Space Fold was his only chance.
But it was completely unrealistic for Machines to invade the normal world.
Few people know that the Space Folds were created to protect human beings.
The existence of the Space Fold isn’t to destroy human beings but to protect them.

“Ktgff mtlqr. Qtb ubfr olgra?”
No one answered. Li Pingan even pretended to be dead, falling asleep in the arms of the robot.
So, Zeus’ eyes fell on Si Chen, filled with silent inquiry. “How about you?”
In the face of absolute force, any strategy was a joke.
After all, only when humans can’t beat something will they be patient and rational.
Si Chen took a deep breath and replied, “Although I sympathize with your experience. However, the human body is somewhat different from the mechanical body. It won’t be suitable for disassembly and transformation.”
Zeus’ eyes were dyed with a touch of sarcasm. “Do you think I need sympathy? No, I like my current life very much. My propensity to analyze myself too is because I like watching human emotions. It’s funny, isn’t it? How many prey will sympathize with the hunter.”
Zeus pushed open the door and inside was a not-so-spacious workshop. In the center was an operating bed.
“Please. Or would you prefer I use force? Force does make you more excited, doesn’t it?”
Si Chen resisted the urge to punch him in the face.
Because Ji Chuyao hasn’t acted yet.
Indeed, he had no chance against Zeus. If it was certain death, Si Chen would rather deal three hundred damage points to the enemy at the cost of a thousand damage points to himself.
But right now, Ji Chuyao obviously needed his cooperation.
Si Chen’s face was full of unwillingness and despair, like a lamb who knew he was about to be sent to slaughter.
In a peaceful era, Si Chen was sure he would have won several best actor awards.
Zeus’ eyes fell on the robot behind him.
Needless to say, Ji Chuyao looked cold and escorted Si Chen into the workshop.
Si Chen glanced around the workshop.
There was a mannequin in the corner of the workshop, on which a metal skeleton was built. Zeus was putting together the human body and more than half of it has been completed.
Zeus said, “That’s the bionic man I originally planned to make.”
He had completed 90 percent of the process and is only missing the last 10 percent. But Zeus suddenly lost interest.
Because he realized that even if he made the perfect mannequin…
It would be impossible for this model to wake up like a real person, with blood, warmth and soul.
As a Super Machine, this entire base was actually Zeus’ body.
And this workshop was like his heart. It was one of Zeus’ most hidden and important organs.
But this process could only be done here.
Because after the biochip is taken out from the “heart”, it will be completely inactivated in just a few minutes.
“This chip is my latest invention,” Zeus said slowly.
He opened the freezer and there came a burst of cold air. The scalpels were arranged in rows in the cabinet.
A pair of scissors was drawn out, opened and closed menacingly in mid-air.
“I’ve made numerous copies of my core program and installed it into these chips. After being implanted in the human body, it not only has the control function of a first generation chip but it will also allows me to log in with one click at any time.”
A faint look of pride appeared on Zeus’s face. “Think of it this way; your original soul is the old account of this body and my soul is the new account. I delete your account and then log in with my own account. Do you understand?”
It was a pity the Si Chen appeared completely unimpressed.
Si Chen replied, “Where I’m from, it is generally called being possessed or Duoshe. You don’t need to explain so much.”
Zeus: “…”
He was a little sad. “You don’t even realize what a great invention this is. Countless Machines have tried but ultimately failed… Forget it, how can I expect a low creatures to understand?”
Si Chen, who had inexplicably turned into a low creature, was very upset.
“It’s a pity. Most human beings have strengthened their bodies but not their brains. But instantaneous login is likely to overload the human body. When that time comes, your brain will explode like a balloon… So, just to be on the safe side, I decided to implant chips in everyone’s brains.”
“My reserve energy is insufficient to launch another High-dimensional Invasion.”
If none of their brains is able to hold his soul, what awaits him is nothing but complete shutdown.
Zeus put on the mask and his expression turned cold. “Tie him to the operating table first. The human anesthetics have already expired and I don’t like prey struggling.”
The advantage of these alien robots is probably that they don’t need him to provide additional energy.
Ji Chuyao ignored him and simply let Si Chen go, asking in a cold voice, “Were you scared?”
Si Chen rubbed his sore wrist and replied, “A little bit.”
For a moment, he really had been afraid that Ji Chuyao had been controlled as Zeus said.
However, something Zeus said later made reassured him instead.
After all, if Ji Chuyao really had been controlled, Zeus wouldn’t have been curious about the possible baby in his stomach.
Save for him and Dongfang Changye, only Ji Chuyao knew whether he had slept with Dongfang Changye last night.
Hearing Ji Chuyao’s words, Zeus paused in the middle of picking a scalpel.
He turned his head, an orange-red halo lit up in his eyes.
Orange-red light instantly spread from the edge of his collar, going up until the sides of his face.
This was a sign that the bio-mechanical energy core was activated and had been switched to combat mode.
The same went for Ji Chuyao.
He drew from his elbow the unsheathed and handle-less sword.
The famed sword, Sky Blue.
The moment he saw that sword, unpleasant memories flooded into Zeus’s brain.
He even recalled the horror of receiving Turing’s message the first time.
[For the future of humankind, I will destroy you.]
Zeus gritted his teeth and said, “Why you?”
Probably in order to express his loyalty to humans, Turing has always appeared in a mechanical body in whichever era he was active.
Zeus didn’t know Ji Chuyao’s face.
Unlike Zeus, who had been a little robot who accidentally gave birth to a soul, Turing had been created and produced as a Super Machine from the beginning.
But this sword was indeed the one and only Sky Blue.
That tinge in Ji Chuyao’s voice could be nostalgia or sarcasm. “I haven’t seen you for many years, Zeus. Your current avatar looks even stupider than your original body that has long been turned to scrap iron.”
He raised the sword, his expression colder than the snow in the dead of winter, “I said I would destroy you. Whether it is once, or a thousand trillion times, I will destroy you.”
The author has something to say:
Ji Chuyao: In the end, I took my wife to win while lying down in an Instance. Although, things seemed to have gone differently from how I thought (⊙▽⊙)? ?
Si Chen: O.O) you two know each other???
Si Chen: Talks about my pregnancy are stressful
