Resurrection Empire

Chapter 619 - 232: Seventh Level, Consciousness Upload, Dust Settles_2

But the consciousness was very clear, and his five senses for external perception were completely replaced by various detection instruments within the armor. For example, vision was transformed through optical cameras, hearing through sound collectors, and so on.

This transformation process was so seamless that he didn’t notice it at first.

"Brother Sun, what’s going on?"

Sun Miao sent a stream of explanations.

"This drug is called the Consciousness Upload Potion. Its effects allow a Mechanical Warrior like you, with a Brain Reaction Index exceeding fifty thousand, to prematurely sense the special ability of a Seventh Level Mechanical Warrior. This ability is called Consciousness Upload."

"After activating the Consciousness Upload state, your consciousness will deeply integrate with the fundamental information flow in the universe, granting your thoughts temporary ultra-stability. Then, with the help of the device, your consciousness can temporarily separate from your body and enter the Intelligent Chips made with Seventh Level and above crystal chips as the core material."

"In this state, your control over the armor can disregard delays; you are the armor, and the armor is you. Simultaneously, you can ignore the limit of the armor’s carrying power and start controlling star sky-level large equipment."

"The Seventh Level is the minimum threshold for a regular Mechanical Warrior to escape the atmosphere and become a Space Soldier. The condition is to complete Consciousness Upload. Only after deep integration with the equipment can one possibly control large-scale space-level machinery with one person’s strength. I allowed you to experience it ahead of time before your death. Fortunately, your Red Blade Armor can provide the necessary assistance, and you did it."

Ren Zhong muttered to himself, "Mechanical Ascension, is it?"

Sun Miao: "Mechanical Ascension? What’s that?"

"Nothing, Brother Sun, thank you!"

Understanding the situation, Ren Zhong didn’t delay further and launched at them again.

He was too familiar with the Red Blade Armor, and the Red Blade Armor was too familiar with him.

It took him only a few dozen seconds to overcome the initial slight unfamiliarity.

He displayed his unparalleled talent, brilliant like a blazing sun.

He startled some top warriors watching the live broadcast to stand up abruptly from their leather chairs.

Someone muttered, face full of disbelief.

"This person is only a Fourth Level Mechanical Warrior, yet he used Consciousness Upload. This..."

"Genius! Absolute genius!"

"No, we have to preserve him. Such a person could shine even in the interstellar era. He even has the opportunity to become an elite-level Empire warrior! We need him!"

"Too late. His body is deteriorating."

"Sigh..."

...

An hour later, Ren Zhong died, falling like a shooting star.

The performance gap between his equipment and the Sutured Giant Beast was ultimately too great.

Until his physical capabilities were utterly exhausted, the multi-layered side effects of the Stimulant, Armored Frenzy Potion, and Consciousness Upload Potion exploded suddenly, and he couldn’t completely destroy the Sutured Giant Beast’s body.

However, at the moment of Ren Zhong’s death, the Sutured Giant Beast had already begun to self-destruct from within.

At the same time, the Ruined Beasts in the town lost their backbone; some instinctively attacked humans, while others fled in fear.

The hackers and Information Flow Shield Masters, who successfully received ample rewards, quietly emerged from the ground, startled by the devastation outside.

Hacker: "What the hell is going on?"

The Information Flow Shield Master waved a hand, activating a regular twenty-faced crystal to obscure their tracks, "Who cares what’s going on, let’s go! Hurry up and leave! This eerie place is unlivable. What do you mean, very safe! Damn, this beast tide is much fiercer than last time in Shi Xuan’s town!"

The two, fearful and on edge, stealthily slipped away.

In the armor laboratory below, Ju Qingmeng’s eyes were fixed on the display screen in front of her.

On the screen, the progress bar representing information infiltration was gradually moving toward 100%.

She remembered the conversation between the hacker and Ren Zhong five minutes ago.

"Mr. Ren, we have already obtained the information flow encryption codes of the Legion Beast and captured the remote control lines of the Legion Beast by the Mengdu Group."

"Can you try to seize control of the Legion Beast?"

"No, the Mengdu Group has already established point-to-point communication with the Legion Beast. We can only infiltrate and steal data, or inject some compressed information, but it is impossible to seize control in return. However, we can appropriately interfere with the Legion Beast’s control over the Sutured Giant Beast, causing it to dismantle itself."

"Very well, do it."

"But this can only succeed this one time, really doesn’t make much sense. The Mengdu Group will only suffer this loss once, and after this incident is over, they will find the system backdoor vulnerability and patch it up. Also, the Mengdu Group was unaware of hackers in the town, which is why they didn’t change the code for three consecutive days. What you’re doing will only disrupt the Mengdu Group’s experimental progress and needlessly provoke them. My personal suggestion would be to hand over our findings to the Mengdu Group, saying we proactively helped them find a big bug, which would undoubtedly result in a handsome reward."

Ren Zhong grinned, "That won’t be necessary. You all leave now, the rest we’ll handle ourselves, has nothing to do with you."

Ren Zhong didn’t last until the infiltration progress bar exceeded 80%, the subsequent tasks were completed by Ju Qingmeng.

Another seven or eight minutes passed, and the sound of a gunshot echoed in the armor laboratory, and everything fell silent.

With the disintegration of the Sutured Giant Beast, the Legion Beast plunged into frenzied collapse, and nearly fifty thousand survivors in Starfire Town saw a chance to survive as the Mengdu Group’s high-profile experiment concluded in failure.

The experimental conclusions were as follows:

The Legion Beast remains unstable, with risks of counter-infiltration and counter-control.

The deaths of citizens Ma Xiaoling, Ren Zhong, and Ma Dafu proved the complete ineffectiveness of the three basic principles of Ruined Beasts promised by the Mengdu Group.

The out-of-control Legion Beast and its Ruined Beast legion still harm citizens; this project poses considerable safety hazards.

Advanced Ruined Beasts still cannot be controlled by humans from Source Star.

Humans from Source Star can still only produce Ruined Beasts, not command them.

End of report.

The Commercial Association’s law enforcement department publicly released the following in the "Closing Report":

Citizens Ren Zhong, Ma Dafu, and Ma Xiaoling died directly in this experiment. Among them, citizen Ren Zhong is suspected of being an alien ore thief with potentially great danger; all his properties have been confiscated.

Ma Dafu and Ma Xiaoling were normal.

Second Level Citizen Ju Qingmeng, an informant of the alien ore incident, has committed suicide in fear of guilt.

All informants of the alien ore incident among Starfire Town’s wastelanders have perished.

High-ranking citizen Sun Miao survived.

Ultimately, 43,254 wastelanders survived in Starfire Town.

According to the experiment report previously submitted by the Mengdu Group, these 43,254 wastelanders fulfilled their duties as experimental volunteers, allowing them to become wastelanders in Starfire Town and preventing them from being recruited as Mengdu Group volunteers again for ten years.

End of report.
