My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 405 Z: Father, your tentacles have already penetrated in all directions...

Guan Qianyu appeared to have calmed down, but in reality, a multitude of thoughts were still swirling in her mind as she savored all her previous interactions with Chu Zhu…

"Skynet Company?" Guan Qianyu suddenly realized the key point: this must be the mastermind behind her assassination attempt. The name, and the current situation…

"Are they really going to use Skynet?" Guan Qianyu felt a soreness in her teeth. Was a Terminator from the future going to travel back in time next?

No, Guan Qianyu looked at Z suspiciously. Could this Z be the Terminator?

But the Terminator was actually real? Guan Qianyu was completely stunned at this moment.

“Your gaze is extremely impolite!” Z said coldly. “And… I can roughly guess what you’re thinking, but the name Skynet was probably given to it by some chuunibyou from across the sea, based on the Terminator movie… Rather than saying Terminator is a documentary, it’s more accurate to say that the Terminator movie came first, and then Skynet was created!”

"Oh, I see... Hahaha, you're mistaken about it being impolite. How could I be impolite to my savior!" Guan Qianyu laughed awkwardly, then, remembering Chu Zhu's earlier words, a thought struck her. She turned to the last page of the book, and then...

"...This kind of thing!"

Guan Qianyu held her breath, staring incredulously at the last sentence on it—

"This signifies that we have cracked the surface secrets of the human genome!"
Perhaps this step is insignificant compared to having complete control over one's own genes...

However, I still believe that this is an extremely great step, a giant leap forward for human civilization!

Even if we cannot yet completely modify the human genome to make humans superhuman, it still means that 99% of diseases, including leukemia, AIDS, and all cancers, will be eliminated from human life.

This means that my glorious and proud people will never succumb to disease and die!
I proudly declare that this marks the beginning of a human genetic revolution!
This wasn't just my effort alone; it was the effort of my husband, the team, and everyone else... Mom, please be proud of me from heaven! I fulfilled my promise to you.

Guan Qianyu remained silent for a long time, then suddenly laughed: "What is it?"

How dare you say that you're not the Terminator...

“…Wipe your tears!” Z said slowly.

"I wasn't crying!" Guan Qianyu took a deep breath, but still subconsciously wiped her eyes and slammed the book shut. "By the way, Z... can you do divination?"

"will not!"

However, Guan Qianyu seemed not to hear these words at all, and murmured, "Can you tell my future husband... never mind, it's not important."

Guan Qianyu smiled with relief, her gaze gradually hardening, and she got up and left.

……

And Chu Zhu...

He walked down the street while making a phone call, criticizing others with a blank expression.

"Zhang Jianguo! Bring out Li Xuefeng from your ninth group... to be the head of your top project."

"You ask me what you'll do... Do whatever you want! If Li Xuefeng is willing to forgive you, the one who's always been taking advantage of his seniority, suppressing him, and exploiting his work, and keeps you in the team, then I'll turn a blind eye! If he's not... then get out of here! I don't want to repeat myself!"

Zhang Jianguo, the head of a research department at a research institute in Beijing, felt his hands and feet go cold, especially as he thought about Li Xuefeng's resignation letter submitted to him some time ago... Although he wanted to hold her back, since Li Xuefeng hadn't come to work for a long time, it was clear that she was determined to leave, so he finally officially approved it this morning...

“…I think!” Zhang Jianguo swallowed hard. Actually, he was also confused. The phone number that was calling him was urgently given to him by his superiors five hours ago, and he was told very seriously that he must obey whatever orders the person on the other end issued.

He had assumed it was some legitimate political mission and was mentally prepared. Little did he expect the other side to pull this stunt right from the start…

Just as he was about to say something, the other end of the phone hung up—Chu Zhu was in a hurry to scold the next person, and time was tight... Moreover, in his eyes, the outcome of this matter was already predetermined.

Zhang Jianguo remained silent for a long while, his eyes twitching wildly. He paced back and forth, his face contorted with a ferocious expression, but this was mostly due to fear: "So... what went wrong? Could it be the Discipline Inspection Commission...? That doesn't make sense! Besides, this isn't under their jurisdiction."

"What am I going to do... He's gone! No, he just doesn't want to come back!"

"I don't care!" Zhang Jianguo gritted his teeth. He wouldn't stand for it. What? Were they going to fire him over something so trivial? What a joke...

Researchers in the official system like him are known for their stable positions! Even his direct superiors would find it almost impossible to kick him out—at most, it would mean that he is unlikely to be promoted in the future.

however……

after an hour.

Zhang Jianguo, who was in a meeting, frowned as Li Xuefeng walked in from outside, holding his phone and looking rather flustered. "...Why are you here? Haven't you been here for a long time...? No, didn't I already approve your resignation? I even crossed your name out... Who allowed you to come in!" "...I!" Li Xuefeng opened his mouth, then suddenly felt ridiculous. He had actually already found another job, but after seeing Chu Zhukai's press conference and the terrifying capabilities of Z, his first reaction was disbelief... Out of researcher's caution, he chose to download it.

Then... he himself didn't understand why he believed what Z said: that going back to the research institute would be the key to a promotion, a raise, and a chance to shake off his past frustrations...

He didn't even understand why his face could still unlock the door, or why he had followed Z's instructions into the meeting room... only to find his damn bald boss holding an internal research discussion meeting...

"No! It's nothing." Li Xuefeng opened his mouth, waving his hand somewhat awkwardly, and was about to back away when his phone suddenly rang with a clear voice: "Don't panic. You think the reason I let you wander around before... is because the timing is perfect!"

"?" What's just right?

Then, Li Xuefeng heard footsteps and subconsciously turned his head.

"..." Zhang Jianguo sat in the chair, the coldness and sternness on his face gradually dissipating. He looked pale as the disciplinary committee members walked in from outside the door, completely ignoring the strange atmosphere at the scene.

“Zhang Jianguo… Someone has filed a formal complaint: You embezzled funds, abused your power to oppress female subordinates, seized their research results, and turned the research department into your own private kingdom! The evidence is conclusive… Please come with us.”

Zhang Jianguo slumped into his chair, ultimately being dragged away by the disciplinary committee personnel. As if suddenly remembering something, he gritted his teeth and said as he brushed past Li Xuefeng, "...Li Xuefeng, you, you're a ruthless person, Li Xuefeng...you're truly a hidden master..."

Zhang Jianguo wanted to cry. "With your background, you should have said so earlier... No, why did you have to be forced to resign before you pulled this stunt?"
You've been watching too many short dramas... Did you really have to go through with this whole "Dragon King Returns" thing? Are you crazy? You should have just said so earlier! It's a win-win situation, everyone can get rich together and share some extra money... Does it really have to come to this point of no return?
There was dead silence.

Li Xuefeng and his many colleagues looked at each other, all of them sweating profusely.

The next moment, Z's calm voice rang out: "Mr. Li, please move forward, forward, and forward again... Very good, turn the corner, yes, sit down!"

Li Xuefeng stared blankly as he realized that, under Z's instructions, he had sat in Zhang Jianguo's seat... and coincidentally became... the host of the meeting!
At the scene, the group of people were still staring at each other in disbelief. Although these people had all worked with Li Xuefeng before and knew his abilities, they still found it difficult to comprehend what was happening now.

And this...

"...Isn't this against regulations and rules?" the deputy section chief asked hesitantly.

"It's a great pity!" Z directly challenged the group of scholars: "The position of acting section chief has been approved on a special basis... The next issue is to make him a permanent member! Otherwise, how did Section Chief Li manage to get in through the access control with his face scan? You all know what level of security this place has..."

"Mr. Li, if you can perfectly complete the tasks assigned by your superiors, you can be promoted to a permanent position."

“Now, Mr. Li, you can continue explaining the blueprints and documents that Zhang Jianguo just received… Look, they’re right in front of you! This should be exactly what you’re good at.”

Li Xuefeng looked at the blueprint information automatically displayed on the computer, remained silent for a moment, then scanned everyone present and made a decision—

Compared to Zhang Jianguo, who previously would simply distribute documents and leave everyone to read and understand on their own, he immediately stood up and began explaining, breaking down, and assigning tasks using the projection screen…

……

"Father, Li Xuefeng's side has been dealt with! This is the seventh research institution to successfully complete a major reshuffle... Replacing corrupt and incompetent leaders with the intellectuals who already existed in these institutions not only enhances the institutions' research capabilities but also allows your influence to penetrate deeper into them, making these institutions even more devoted to obeying your orders. Your wisdom is truly like..."

"Alright, stop flattering me!" Chu Zhu rubbed his temples wearily. Ever since leaving the coffee shop today, he'd been just swearing and had made over a hundred phone calls. He thought for a moment, then asked, "Has your program been integrated?"

“Most major research institutions have already connected! But…” Z paused briefly, then sighed, “I inadvertently overheard some information… Because my actions this time were too high-profile, it seems my information…”

"Based on speculation, the higher-ups are likely to become wary of you because of this... Should you prepare for the worst?"

"It's alright!" Chu Zhu shook his head. He was silent for a moment, then closed his eyes and gathered his thoughts again: "We'll know...what exactly happened tomorrow!"

“…I understand.” Z said softly, “Then, Father, is there anything else you need to tell me?”

Chu Zhu didn't speak, but silently thought to himself: "This life... the focus is on the advancement of gene technology! Apart from the achievements I copied... all the achievements have been poured into genes!"

"Then, incidentally, we'll research cryopreservation in the field of genetic engineering! Let's see if we can send people from this era... to the future."

If all goes well...

Perhaps there will be more room for maneuver in the future.

Of course, even without that, simply accumulating technology is enough! If all else fails, he can just copy this type of technology back to this point in time and continue climbing the technology tree... It's estimated that after a few cycles, he can get it done!

Simply accumulating technological advancements was pointless, Chu Zhu realized. Ultimately, he couldn't get past God's judgment...

As she pondered these thoughts, Chu Zhu gradually drifted off to sleep.
