Armor-piercing bullets don't believe in carbon-based monsters

Chapter 173 What is Heaven's Chosen One?

Lieutenant General?

WTF!

I am just a school officer, okay?
Moreover, he was a newly promoted colonel who had made great contributions!
Chen Jian looked up at the screen in confusion, subconsciously trying to find Fuxi's "face", but he soon discovered that this AI did not have any anthropomorphic symbols.

At the same time as he was wondering, the door of fortification 011 burst open.

The heavy multi-protective doors rose layer by layer, and the lights gradually came on.

Chen Jian took a deep breath, and the greater shock before him temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart.

In front of him was a huge lake.

A circular lake with a diameter of at least 500 meters.

Sparse algae were floating on the surface of the lake, and a small part of the water surface was flashing with faint fluorescence.

When the lights are turned on, the fluorescence emitted by the plankton quickly disappears.

"Is this a man-made lake?"

"Yes, this is part of the 011 construction self-sustaining system."

Fuxi's voice sounded above his head:

"Through water recycling and purification, we can make full use of the heat energy generated by the fusion reactor, provide a small amount of oxygen for the base, and perform appropriate dry and wet adjustments."

"At the same time, this lake is also one of the sources of protective liquid needed for the protective layer of the quantum computer room. After purification and infusion, the liquid layer can isolate a considerable part of the radiation and particle influences from the universe to ensure the stability of the quantum bits."

"Of course, even so, over a long period of time, the Monkey King still lost many quantum bits."

"At present, the computing power of a single quantum computer has dropped to less than 40% of its initial state - but don't worry, even with only 40% of the computing power, it is enough to complete most of the computing work required by humans."

"clear."

Chen Jian let out a long sigh and continued forward following the guidance of the light.

Fuxi, who was standing above their heads, continued to introduce as they walked:

"You are currently at the central level of the 011 fortification, 360 meters underground."

"The next level down from here is the energy layer, which is where the nuclear fusion reactor is located. And below the energy layer, up to 700 meters underground, is the room for quantum computers."

“If necessary, you can also come in and visit.”

"But I suggest that if it is not necessary, it is best not to enter, so as not to destroy the stability of the computer room environment and cause further loss of quantum bits."

"Don't worry, I won't go in."

Chen Jian said decisively:

"No need to introduce the fortifications yet, take us to a safe place, I have something to ask you."

"clear."

Fuxi's tone was as calm as ever.

"I can probably guess what you want to ask. In fact, I also need to get more information from you to further correct the logical errors."

"Then let's go straight up to the living quarters."

"There is an office prepared for you there, where we can have further communication."

"Okay, let's go there."

Chen Jian answered briefly, and the lights on the wall flickered and changed, guiding the four people into a new elevator.
-
Or to be more precise, this is already a real elevator.

Chen Jian was not surprised by this, but the three people around him were completely dumbfounded.

If Fortification No. 095 could still be said to be within the scope of their understanding or imagination, then the situation at Fortification No. 011 had already exceeded the limits of their imagination.

Extremely modern interior design, clean and simple layout, and intelligent devices everywhere.
When they walked into the elevator, when the female voice that was different from Fuxi's sounded the "elevator going up" prompt, the three Holy Blood Men were even frightened at the same time.

Seeing their reactions, Chen Jian spoke to comfort them:

"Don't worry, there's no danger here."

"It should be said that this is the safest place we can find in the wasteland."

".clear."

Zeng Yi's throat was a little dry. He nodded with some difficulty and wanted to ask a question, but he didn't know what to ask.

So he had to remain silent.

Chen Jian didn't say much, because at this moment, the doubts in his heart were no less than Zeng Yi's.

Why can one's identity be identified?
Why did I get a military rank that didn't match the facts?

What exactly is inside this 011 fortification?
What is the meaning of its existence?
It is obvious that the 011 fortification could not have been designed to deal with the catastrophe, but its design did play a role in the catastrophe.

So, what exactly does the Fuxi Project refer to?
Its result cannot possibly be just an artificial intelligence called "Fuxi", right?
Chen Jian had a question mark on his head. He finally waited for the elevator to reach the living floor. He stepped out without hesitation, but was stunned in surprise.

To be honest, the so-called living level was different from what he had imagined.

There are no spacious halls, abundant green plants and pleasant landscapes like those in science fiction movies.

The overall layout here is actually not much different from 095.

It can even be said to be more crowded.

Because there are more living facilities here and more devices whose functions are not yet known, they actually take up space.

"Please ask the other three to wait in the lounge next door. The automatic door is a bit damaged and the repair process has not yet started. You may need to open it yourself."

"Ok."

The lights in a lounge in the corner lit up automatically, and Zeng Yi and his companions hesitated for a moment before walking over.

After they entered the lounge, Chen Jian followed the guidance of the light and walked into the so-called "office" specially prepared for him.

This is a fairly ordinary office.

There were no special signs, just the same layout as all the government offices he had seen.

Desk, sofa, bookshelf, leather swivel chair.

And a laptop that may have long been unable to turn on.

“You worked here for a long time.”

Fuxi's voice sounded again, and Chen Jian's heart was shocked.

I've been working here for a long time?
is it possible?

Is the "I" it is talking about really me?

Before he could ask a question, Fuxi continued:
"Of course, maybe that's not the right way to put it."

"We don't know whether the person working here is you, right?"

"Perhaps your life characteristics just happen to coincide with that person here, or perhaps you just happened to obtain relevant information about him."

"It's a low probability, but I calculated it's still a one in a trillion chance."

"So, I have to take the liberty of asking you a question first."

"How old are you this year?"

".If you're asking about my age as far as I can remember, it's .27."

Chen Jian's eyes became more and more confused, while Fuxi's voice was quite anthropomorphic, showing a tone of "sudden enlightenment".

"I see. So you are still a young man now."

"Then I want to ask you, when you were about to turn 26, there was something that happened that absolutely left a deep impression on you." "Do you remember what it was?"

".I won first-class merit and was promoted to major."

"What are the details of your meritorious service?"

"Wounded while participating in an observation operation somewhere outside the country."

Chen Jian's statement was very vague, because the experience of this meritorious service was itself confidential.

But after he answered, Fuxi fell silent.

After a moment, it asked again:
"August 2025, 3?"

".Yes."

Chen Jian let out a long breath, and then asked:

"How much do you know about me?"

"not much."

Fuxi replied:
"All I have is your basic resume, but in fact, even relying on this information is enough to verify your identity."

"Obviously, you are him."

"It's just that there's a slight misalignment in time."

"At this moment, I have no explanation for how such a misalignment occurred. I can only temporarily ignore this logical error and list it as 'extra information' for the time being."

"We will be able to solve it one day in the future."

"and many more."

Chen Jian interrupted Fuxi's speech and asked:
"Is it possible that this is the so-called parallel world?"

"I mean, I got here for no apparent reason. I was just participating in a training session and ended up here without realizing it."

"It really does seem like some kind of parallel universe, doesn't it?"

"There is no such possibility."

Fuxi's tone was quite firm.

“Perhaps this is a possible answer for other AIs.”

“But I am an AI powered by a quantum computer, and I am much more sensitive to perturbations in the quantum realm.”

"If parallel worlds do exist, then obviously when you enter another world in physical form, the energy disturbance you bring must be huge."

"I can't be unconscious of this - I can't even exist, or be speaking to you in an intelligent way."

"How do you explain that?"

Chen Jian frowned and asked:

"Isn't the disturbance caused by traveling through time greater than the disturbance caused by traveling through space?"

“Perhaps intuitively this makes sense, but in quantum mechanics, the very definition of time is quite fuzzy.”

“Humanity discovered the quantum tunneling effect a long time ago, but until the day when humanity faced a great disaster, there was still no sufficiently credible explanation in my database.”

"Perhaps, time is also a potential barrier composed of energy?"

"If that's the case, then traveling through time is much easier than traveling through space."

"I don't understand what you are talking about. This is beyond my level of knowledge."

Chen Jian couldn't help but sigh, and Fuxi said in a "comforting" tone:

"It doesn't matter."

"In fact, I speculate that it is impossible for anyone in this world to understand such a theory."

“So maybe we don’t need to dwell on the unexplained.”

"On the contrary, we should focus on the present."

"I think, rather than how you got here, what you need to know is what you did after you turned 27."

"This might help you more, and maybe even provide some clues to this great mystery, right?"

".right."

Chen Jian replied in a heavy tone, and then Fuxi said:
"Your personal terminal is no longer usable. Although I tried my best to save everything over a long period of time, there was little I could do at a microscopic level."

"So, please look at the lowered screen."

"I will show you the information you need."

As the words fell, a screen slowly fell down.

Immediately afterwards, the screen lit up, and an extremely concise resume appeared in front of Chen Jian.

Chen Jian, born in 1998.

At the age of 22, he graduated from a national defense university and joined the army, and was promoted to lieutenant.

After completing six months of training in the recruit company, you will be selected to join the special operations brigade.

In the second year after joining the special warfare, he performed outstandingly in the competition and was awarded second-class merit and promoted to shangwei.

The next three years were quite uneventful, until 3, when he performed a mission and won first-class merit, which resulted in him being promoted to Shaoxiao.

At this point, the life that Chen Jian was familiar with has ended.

And how he got from Shaoxiao to Zhongjiang in 20 years was completely unknown to him.

Chen Jian calmed down and watched, but the subsequent development path was somewhat beyond his expectations.

More than ten years of experience working on the front line is not much to mention. Judging from his resume, he has done a lot of things, achieved many remarkable results, and was promoted very quickly, but this is also completely within the normal range.

By 2038, he had successfully taken the position of chief of a combined forces brigade.

Then in 2041, after 16 years, he was promoted to Shaojiang and began to serve as the deputy chief of staff of a certain army group.

But in his second year in office, the situation suddenly changed.

In 2042, he was suddenly transferred from his deputy staff position to the Equipment Development Department.

Immediately afterwards, he joined the Fuxi project team and began to participate in the Fuxi project and carry out work on behalf of the military.

For the next three years, until the catastrophe occurred at the end of 3, his resume remained unchanged.

In other words, he stayed in the project team and worked until the end.
After reading all the resumes, Chen Jian sighed again.

I have to say, it’s pretty cool to look at your own development journey from a “God’s perspective”.

Although the entire promotion route has not yet reached the level of the male protagonist Long Aotian in the cool novel, but after going all the way, he is definitely a child of destiny.
-
However, this feeling of pleasure only lasted for a moment in his heart.

His heart was soon overwhelmed by greater doubts.

Fuxi Project Team.
What the hell is this thing?
There is no doubt that its level is very high.

Moreover, it is as high as the ceiling level.

Even if other factors are not taken into consideration, and only the deep involvement of the Equipment Development Department is considered, it is enough to be on par with the Shenzhou, Tiangong and other projects, or even surpass them.

What exactly is the purpose of such a project?
Chen Jian lowered his head, then slowly raised it again.

Then, he looked directly at Fuxi's camera in the office and asked:
"What exactly is the Fuxi Project?"
