Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 339 The absolute gap between civilization levels is Liang Bing's perverse sense of humor.
The core of consciousness uploading and body reconstruction technology lies in digitizing human consciousness, memory, and other brain information, uploading it to a computing device, and then achieving "resurrection" through an artificial body.

Theoretically, it is possible to escape the aging and death of biological bodies.
In the real world, there are companies researching this technology, but there's still a long way to go before they can actually implement it.

After all, the human brain contains 860 billion neurons and 1000 trillion synaptic connections, while current technology can only partially simulate the simple behavior of fruit flies; simulating the human brain would require a supercomputing cluster of about 1 million CPUs, far exceeding the current computing power.

However, if successful, it will enable the permanent preservation of individual memories; and after consciousness leaves the carbon-based body, it can freely choose its carrier.

The bodies they create can also be replaced by machines, adapting to the world through bodies made of biomimetic or synthetic materials.

But uploading consciousness does not equal continuing consciousness.

Even if data is successfully digitized, what is reconstructed may be a "copy" of consciousness rather than the consciousness itself.

The connections between them are too great to deny the value of this technology, but its impact is unprecedented.

Even if the Great Xia Dynasty ultimately decides to use it, it is impossible to promote it on a large scale, or even to actively push it to the public.

It can be used on a small scale, with restrictions and conditions.

After all, this kind of "resurrection" is fundamentally different from what they think of as a true resurrection achieved by reversing the timeline or controlling life and death.

After a long while, Wang Shouguo took a deep breath, a bitter smile appearing on his lips:
"This has really given me a tough problem."

He didn't believe that the demon civilization didn't have other technologies more suitable for the current stage of Great Xia, but Liang Bing took out the consciousness upload technology almost without hesitation.

It's hard not to suspect that she did it on purpose.

While in theory technology itself is neither "good" nor "evil," and everything depends on how it is used, this technology certainly makes the choice difficult.

At least from his personal perspective, he was unwilling to accept it.

However, he can only represent himself; the final decision must be made through discussion among everyone.

Even if they ultimately decide not to use the technology itself, the other technological concepts it embodies can still inspire and enhance Daxia's research in related fields.

A mature technology is never a single entity; it inevitably incorporates groundbreaking achievements from multiple fields.

Although he didn't understand scientific research, he was aware of this point.

Looking at Wang Shouguo's wry smile, Liang Bing couldn't help but let out a sly grin.

Was she doing it on purpose? Of course she did it on purpose.

In the super-god universe where dark dimensions exist, the gap between civilization levels is absolute.

God-level civilizations possess an overwhelming advantage over non-god-level civilizations.

They can easily access all the information about lower civilizations and obtain all their technologies.

The Angelic Civilization's Eye of Insight is a prime example. With a single glance, any Dark Dimension with weak defenses can have its entire civilization's secrets revealed by the Angels.

While the demon civilization doesn't possess the same insightful vision as the angel civilization, they act more directly, transforming the target civilization into a demon and then taking away all valuable technology and people.

Naturally, there will be no shortage of technology.

She also possesses a considerable amount of technology suitable for the development of a pre-nuclear civilization like the Great Xia.

But—you can't expect a demon to genuinely choose the technology best suited for human development, can you?

Good deeds are best left to angels; this demon queen, of course, has to do the opposite of what angels do—it's part of her wicked sense of humor, I suppose.

Moreover, she only proposed trading the technology; whether or not to agree depends on Da Xia's opinion.

In any case, the choice is in their hands.

Even if Ye Xuan and that Elder Zhong find out about this, they probably won't say much, right?

Thinking of this, her body involuntarily tensed slightly, and she subconsciously looked around, afraid that the figure would suddenly appear from some corner.

Angel Yan noticed Liang Bing's subtle movements and chuckled softly:
"What? You know what you're doing, so you're afraid of getting into trouble?"

“They wouldn’t care about such things.”

Liang Bing coughed lightly, her expression slightly unnatural.

"I'm not afraid."

Wang Shouguo took over the conversation at the opportune moment:
"My main responsibility is to confirm with Ms. Liang Bing the rules of the Great Xia Dynasty that we, as dimensional beings, need to abide by."

"As for the specific details of the technology transaction, a dedicated research team will contact you later."

This was a simple matter in itself, and it should have ended after the relevant matters were explained. However, the technology involved was rather special, so he thought about it for a while longer.

Just as the meeting was about to end, there was a sudden knock on the conference room door; at Wang Shouguo's signal, a staff member quickly entered, his face grave.
"Report! An emergency has occurred in Yunchuan City!"

Wang Shouguo's brows furrowed instantly. He immediately stood up and said to Angel Yan, Liang Bing, and the others:
"Excuse me, I have an urgent matter to attend to, please excuse me."

After saying that, he quickly followed the staff and left the conference room.

After the meeting room door closed, Rose and Lena both turned their gazes toward Angel Yan, and even Liang Bing turned her head with interest, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

"What do you take my Eye of Insight for?"

Angel Yan sighed helplessly, clearly knowing why they were looking at her.

"It's because your angelic eyes of insight are so useful."

Lena said with a grin, although she didn't know what had happened in Yunchuan City.

But it's either because of dimensional life, mutated creatures, or the possessor of celestial treasures—just these three reasons. Otherwise, the Celestial Pivot Bureau wouldn't be in charge of handling it.

None of these three things involve secrets, and they may already be available online.

Information gleaned online is certainly not as detailed as what Angel Yan's Eye of Insight provides.

Angel Yan was speechless, but soon her eyes flashed with white light.

"A large-scale gathering of mutated creatures has occurred in Yunchuan City, and battles have already begun with the local Tian Shu Bureau's defense forces."

"Currently, Yunchuan City holds the advantage, but the number of mutated creatures is too large, and they are continuously converging on the defense line."

"As expected, it's because of the mutated creature."

Lena was not surprised at all.

Although the number of dimensional beings that have recently arrived is relatively large, and most of the information on the internet focuses on dimensional beings, the threat posed by mutated creatures to humans has not decreased.

It's just that the power gap between humans and mutated creatures has widened, and with the upgrades in equipment, even third-tier mutated creatures are not invincible, so the commotion caused by mutated creatures is smaller.

"Hmm, something's not right."

Angel Yan seemed to have noticed something, and frowned slightly.

"The way these mutated creatures gather is too regular, as if they are under some kind of unified command."

"Oh?"

A hint of interest flashed in Liang Bing's eyes.

"You mean, there's a Beast King among these mutated creatures?"

"To pose a threat to the current Great Xia City, a third-tier rank shouldn't be enough, right?"

"Fourth level?"

If she remembered correctly, Yun Chuan City also had a high-ranking holder of a rare treasure from the heavens on the list of extraordinary individuals.

During the last spiritual energy tide, he single-handedly killed dozens of third-tier mutated creatures with almost no energy expenditure.

In terms of strength, he may not be the strongest among the third-tier fighters, but in terms of endurance, there are few who can defeat him.

To make even that little guy feel troubled, a third-tier level might not be enough.

Even if it's not fourth-order, it's probably very close to fourth-order.

Angel Yan shrugged:

"How would I know the specifics? There's no dark dimension in the real world; I can only analyze it through surveillance and existing data."

"It's probably around the fourth level; what, you guys are really interested?"

"I can only see the areas that are under surveillance. As for the others, you'll have to go there yourselves. That's fine, I understand."

Under the expectant gazes of everyone, Angel Yan's lips twitched slightly as she waved her hand, projecting the image captured by her Eye of Insight onto the conference room wall.

At this moment, Yunchuan City's defenses are facing an unprecedented attack.

Relying on the steel barriers built in the past, the warriors of the Tian Shu Bureau unleashed dazzling energy beams from their guns, each bullet precisely hitting the weak points of the mutated creatures, tearing gaps in the beast tide.

"Bang bang bang-"

Dense gunfire echoed across the battlefield, coupled with precise bombardment from high-altitude drones, repelling the charging horde of beasts time and again; specially designed armor-piercing rounds exploded the moment they touched the mutated creatures' skin, emitting a blinding blue light.

"boom!"

Amidst a terrifying roar, an electromagnetic cannon shot from behind accurately struck a Tier 3 individual within the beast horde, the powerful impact blasting it into fragments.

But soon, more mutated creatures filled the void, seemingly endless.

A dense network of drones high in the sky provided heavy firepower, and missiles rained down like downpours; each explosion sent up a cloud of blood mist in the beast horde, but the mutated creatures seemed to know no fear and continued to charge forward madly.

The battlefield was already in an uproar.

"Fire! Full firepower!"

The commander of the Tian Shu Bureau roared, his gun emitting a dazzling light.

"Boom!!!"

A high-explosive missile exploded in the center of the beast horde, the shockwave knocking over dozens of mutated creatures; but the next second, more mutated creatures continued their charge, stepping over the corpses of their companions.

A colossal beast covered in rock armor advanced against the barrage of cannon fire, each step causing the earth to tremble.

"Special Ability Team, in position!"

Three superhumans from the Tian Shu Bureau attacked simultaneously.

One person pressed his hands to the ground, instantly raising three ten-meter-high earthen walls on the battlefield; another person condensed blazing fireballs with both hands, which exploded into a sea of ​​fire among the beasts; and the last person summoned a sky full of ice spikes, pinning the charging mutated creatures to the ground.

"Roar!!!"

A leopard-like mutated creature, its body crackling with lightning, suddenly leaped out, moving so fast it left afterimages. It pounced on the weakest point in the defense, its claws crackling with deadly electricity.
