Lighting up super-god technology in the Three-Body World

Chapter 274 Wisdom is elevated through exposure

The man, finally snapping out of his daze, noticed the way everyone was looking at him and couldn't help but ask curiously,

"What are you looking at me for?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze turned to Ding Yi, and Jiang Fan also looked at Ding Yi.

"Old Ding?"

Ding Yi had a curse stuck in his throat, but he forced himself to reply.

"President Jiang, the simulation results exceeded the preset standards. Is there anything that needs improvement?"

Jiang Fan pondered for a moment, then manually activated the core device of the gene engine—the Source Computer, a new type of microcomputer that regulates the expression of genetic information and was improved from the Sophon Computer.

Its specifications are larger than those of the sophon computer, and it belongs to the atomic level rather than the proton level. This is because the microscopic operations at the atomic level are sufficient to reconstruct all the matter and information in the human body, and the manufacturing speed of an atomic computer is faster than that of a proton computer.

In the process of building macroscopic objects from microscopic particles, the human body structure is the same up to the atomic level; differences only appear at the molecular level and beyond.

For example, proteins, as a type of macromolecule, differ between humans and flies, but the atomic structure that makes up protein molecules is the same.

Therefore, by intervening at the point of change, that is, at the atomic level, and altering the meaning represented by the information encoding, it is equivalent to changing the fundamental nature of life.

After reviewing the various data points of the source computer, he asked,
"Given our current production efficiency, how long would it take to manufacture enough source computers for actual human implantation experiments?"

Qu Yuan was in charge of this project, and he stepped forward to reply.

"President Jiang, the manufacturing process of the source material computer is much simpler than that of the proton computer. It will take about five years to produce enough to meet the requirements for implanting a gene engine."

Jiang Fan hummed in agreement.
"That's too slow. Our civilization has over seven billion people. If it takes five years just for one person, wouldn't it take until the universe ends before we can achieve widespread adoption?"

The people present were visibly stunned, because they had never considered the idea of ​​popularizing gene engines!

This is the key to becoming a 'god'!
Shouldn't it just be loaded by the leader or high-ranking officials? Isn't that the purpose of developing it?
As a member of the Trisolaran race, Qu Yuan felt this even more intensely, and he asked, puzzled,

"President Jiang, do you mean to implant the gene engine into everyone?"

Under the incredulous gazes of the crowd, Jiang Fan frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice,

"Didn't I tell you that achieving a higher level of evolution in life is something that concerns everyone?"

Qu Yuan's voice trailed off. He felt a pressure emanating from the man before him that was even more terrifying than when a leader was enraged. Centuries of habit caused him to bend his knees and kneel before him.
"You said that completing such a project would require virtually endless resources and energy; even if all the currently exploitable resources in all star systems were included, it wouldn't be enough."

Jiang Fan's displeased expression instantly turned ashen. He strode over to Qu Yuan and helped him up.
"Just answer, why are you kneeling down?"

The leader's displeasure was already oppressive, but now, with what appeared to be anger, Qu Yuan couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"I don't know, it's just that my legs suddenly went weak."

If Luo Ji and Da Shi were here, Qu Yuan would not have faced Jiang Fan directly, and would not have felt anxious and uneasy.

This doesn't mean Jiang Fan is targeting or dissatisfied with Qu Yuan, but rather that he possesses an inherent 'divinity'.
Since becoming a leader, the people have spontaneously bestowed upon him a halo of faith.

It is not a physical entity, but a spiritual symbol that inspires everyone to genuinely respect, reverence, and submission when facing Jiang Fan.
It's like when a highly respected elder suddenly questions or challenges your words or actions; a sense of helplessness and fear arises deep within you. In reality, this psychological burden stems from your desire to perform better in front of the "elder" and gain their approval.
However, when reality not only fails to meet expectations but is even worse, psychological pressure can overwhelm one, which is Qu Yuan's current state.

A leader is someone who is even more senior than an elder. Apart from Luo Ji and Da Shi, almost everyone feels a psychological burden in front of him.

The heavier the burden, the more intense the leader's power feels; the more intense the power feels, the less one wants to make mistakes; the less one wants to make mistakes, the heavier the psychological burden becomes, thus forming an unsolvable zone that divides people into humans and 'gods'.

And because this situation is spontaneous, it is even more unsolvable.

Unlike the fear born from oppression by those in positions of power, this kind of tension, purely from the fear of not performing well, is incapable of generating a desire to rebel.

Therefore, it cannot be broken.

Only by letting go of one's psychological burdens can one break free from inner fear; otherwise, one becomes an eternal servant of the gods.

Jiang Fan noticed a tremor of unease in his palm. He was quite confused. Was Qu Yuan afraid? Afraid of him? Why?

But looking at Qu Yuan's expression, as if he wished he could shrink into a crack in the ground, it couldn't be faked.

There was no other way but to let him go, and at the same time, I stood a little further away and gave him a word of advice.
"If there are problems with your body, don't try to endure it; replace it if necessary."

Qu Yuan then regained some composure and said with deep emotion,
“I know Mr. Jiang.”

Jiang Fan really couldn't understand his thinking. He'd been acting strangely ever since the simulation results were successful. Continuing from where they left off,

"I know that King of Glory requires a lot of resources, but don't forget that high investment brings high returns!"

"The various paths taken over the past few centuries have repeatedly proven that a civilization must empower all its individuals in order to become even stronger."

"If we continue with the old ways of confining certain things to the so-called core circle and the upper echelons, sooner or later different class divisions will emerge, causing our civilization to fall into a situation of factional division."

"It is extremely difficult to breach any fortress from the outside, but internal conflicts can reduce even the strongest fortress to ashes in an instant."

"A five-year production cycle is too long; resource and energy issues are not the point of concern!"

"The universe is so vast, with over 100 million stars in the Orion Arm alone, and countless planets. How could it lack resources?"

"If it's not enough, just find more!"

"Once the nationwide deification plan is realized,"

Can you imagine the splendor of that civilization?

“Every citizen can freely travel through the stars, explore areas never before reached, and witness countless wonders of the universe.”

"And this information is then shared with everyone through the entire network!"

"Wisdom is elevated through exposure, and life is immortalized through exploration."
