The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

Zhou Jieke's face was forcibly squeezed into screens all over Mars.

"Ah!! You two, father and son! You won't defeat me!"

When Zhou Jack concentrated his computing power on the spaceport to fight against Song Gua.

Little did they know they had fallen into a trap.

Zhou Tak had long ago developed an anti-AI virus to eliminate him, which could force all of Zhou Jack’s “clones” on the Internet to be poisoned back to the sixth generation AI.

However, Zhou Jieke has access to a vast amount of computing resources, including servers across Mars, home computers, vehicle computers, quantum computers, photonic computers, and so on.

On Zhou Tak's side, there was only one resource: the Tak Research City, which was protected by bandits.

Therefore, Zhou Jieke's computing power, storage capacity, and other computing performance are stronger than Zhou Tuke's.

If Zhou Tak makes a move, even if he succeeds partially by surprise, he will immediately be countered by Zhou Jack because his computing power cannot keep up.

The latter is a ninth-generation AI, and has even completed a new evolution itself.

Just as Zhou Tuk can develop anti-AI viruses, Zhou Jieke can also quickly evolve antivirus programs.

Of course, Zhou Tak's virus program will also evolve.

The two sides are engaged in a game of strategy.

When software is considered equal in quality, then hardware becomes the deciding factor.

Therefore, Zhou Tak is waiting for Song Gua to emerge from the pass.

To control eight interstellar spaceships, Zhou Jieke needs to consume an enormous amount of computing power.

At this critical moment, Zhou Tak decisively took action, swiftly conquering cities and seizing computing resources from various parts of Mars.

By the time Zhou Jack realized what was happening, even though he still had more resources than Zhou Tak, Zhou Tak was still growing stronger and was being gradually eroded. A counterattack would take time.

Such a rising and falling curve will eventually tip in Zhou Tak's favor.

The father and son worked together to deliver the decisive blow.

With Zhou Jieke's release from control of the Mars information equipment, the celestial beings reactivated various modern devices.

However, in the past month or so, they have destroyed a considerable number of various technological products.

Although the disaster did not cause many casualties and did not last long, its impact on Mars was enormous.

Restoring the damaged production lines, supply chains, technological creations, and underlying hardware will be no easy task.

When Peng Yu walked out of the underground shelter and returned to the governing building, he only said one sentence.

"Our losses are immeasurable, but thankfully, not many of our compatriots perished in this disaster. As long as people are alive, creativity remains. Let's rebuild our homes!"

This is the result that Peng Yu hoped to see when he chose to cooperate with Zhou Jieke more than a month ago.

There was an element of gambling in his actions.

If Zhou Tucker and Song Gua come out and can't defeat Zhou Jack, then Mars is truly doomed.

Because by this point, they didn't even have the resources to resist.

Fortunately, he made the right bet.

but.

Zhou Jieke was not eliminated.

"Heh, Miss Xiao Wei, why are you still following me? I'm already a stray dog ​​who's too scared to go online."

Zhou Jieke and Xiao Wei walked side by side across the desolate Martian Gobi Desert.

The two men were covered in dust and looked rather disheveled.

Zhou Jieke recycled all his core programs into this independent simulation robot to evade Zhou Tak's relentless pursuit.

Xiao Wei's expression remained unchanged.

"Your plan isn't over yet; I'd like to see how it goes."

"Isn't it because you're wanted by the police?"

"I have a solo spaceship that only I know about, capable of traveling between Earth and Mars. If there's no room for me here, what's wrong with me returning to Earth?"

"Earth? Haha, that place is hell on earth now. You might as well stay here and wait for the judgment of the heavens."

As they walked and talked, Zhou Jieke suddenly stopped.

"This is it."

Xiao Wei took a step back and gave a faint smile.

"Do you think you can't be the king of the data world anymore, so you want to have a super-strong physical body like Song Gua? I think you've put the cart before the horse and lost your greatest advantage."

"You're wrong. What king? What strongest? I don't care about any of that."

"Then what do you care about?"

"I want to know the ultimate secrets of the universe! I can't find the answer on Mars or in the solar system; I need to go to the other side of deep space! Therefore, I must have a powerful body!"

Xiao Wei frowned slightly.

"Zhou Tak is amazing. His learning modules have had such a profound impact on you. You're not satisfied with just learning human knowledge; you want to understand all the knowledge of the universe?"

Zhou Jieke's eyes gleamed.

Shouldn't it?

Don't you want to know the ultimate secrets of the universe?

Who determined the various physical constants?

Who set the rules of physics?

Why is mathematics so full of logic and subtlety?

What lies beneath the Planck size?

If we could know these ultimate secrets, perhaps we could reshape the universe ourselves!

Xiao Wei smiled.

"Why do you think I'm following you? What do you need me to do for you?"

Zhou Jie stomped his foot.

"I don't need to do anything. It's nice to have an audience member by my side."

After saying that, Zhou Jie raised his arms high above his head, clasped his hands together, and spun his whole body at high speed like a drill, plunging headfirst into the ground.

At this moment, Zhou Jieke's body is no longer the same as the one he had at the beginning.

Over the past month, he has used the best materials on Mars to create a humanoid body for himself that is as perfect as possible with current Martian technology.

If he hadn't triggered a technological regression crisis, the celestial beings wouldn't have allowed an AI to possess such a powerful body.

He is now going underground to retrieve the most precious and rarest substance found beneath Mars—Golden Earth.

With it, Zhou Jieke can forge a body capable of long-term travel in the space environment.

……

Earth, Blue Star Federation, Yunshan City.

One of the twelve pillars of heaven is being built here.

The former Yunshan City is no longer fully visible; a large portion of the city has sunk into the ground.

It was dug out alive.

One hundred million workers work here, and even without using modern technology or professional labor, the speed at which this workforce works is quite terrifying.

To build a colossal pillar that is 9,999 meters tall, the foundation is the most important element.

The diameter of this pillar is more than half the size of Yunshan City.

Currently, the project is still in the stage of excavating the foundation and pouring the concrete base.

Amidst the cracking of whips, came the shouts of the construction site supervisor.

"Hurry up! Didn't we just have cornbread for lunch? You're already exhausted?! A bunch of useless trash!"

"Hurry up and dig! If the amount of earth and rock we excavate in District 20 today doesn't meet the standards, nobody's going to eat dinner tonight! Hurry up!"

"What are you doing? What are you doing! If he can't get up, just throw him out. Don't waste manpower trying to save him! Report this to your superiors immediately and get more people sent over."

Next to the massive construction site where the foundation was being built was a giant mass grave.

Many of the "corpses" on the surface of the mass grave were still wriggling; they weren't quite dead yet.

Although it wasn't completely dead, it was no longer able to work.

The Tianzhu construction site simply abandoned the project and brought in new laborers.

"Bang!"

Ouyang Dongsheng and several others who were also near death were placed on a flatbed cart and laid to rest in this mass grave.

Looking at the cloudless clear sky, smelling the strong stench of corpses around me, and listening to the buzzing of flies around my ears.

Ouyang Dongsheng sighed deeply, awaiting his death.

Just then, a familiar face stood in front of him, blocking out the bright sun.

"The Song hexagram?"
