It took Hao Ren a while to figure out the basic operation method of the "personal computer" on the table. It looks somewhat similar to a laptop computer on Earth, but the keyboard functions and system architecture are quite different. With the aid of plug-ins and past experience, it may take him longer to figure out how to find some information from this device.
After opening a bunch of programs by mistake, he thought he had found something like a browser, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was connected to the Internet.
"I really don't know how this kind of world keeps the global network unblocked," Hao Ren muttered curiously as he looked at the images and texts that were slowly being refreshed on the screen, "Could it be possible that someone still comes here to collect Internet fees?"
The data terminal looked at the computer screen through Hao Ren's eyes, and babbled: "Telecom personnel in an armored vehicle carrying a light machine gun to repair optical cables, don't you think this setting is very interesting?"
"If you have time to talk nonsense, why don't you help me think of some search keywords," Hao Ren rubbed his fingers. "It's much more convenient than asking locals."
The data terminal replied casually: "Natural person, first-generation evolutionary, second-generation evolutionary, great war, world situation—these keywords must be correct."
Hao Ren operated the computer in this world with some unfamiliarity, and what he wanted to know was finally completely presented in front of his eyes.
The war that has spread across the globe has lasted for three full generations.
Humans in this world call the planet under their feet "Zomu". The free translation is actually similar to the "earth" in the world, but to show the difference, the transliteration of the local common language is still used here. The last peaceful time on Planet Droum ended more than sixty years ago.
Some old people used to refer to that last period of peace as the "Pastoral Age". It was the last peaceful and prosperous age enjoyed by human beings on this planet, and it might also be the last period of glory in the entire human history. Human beings ushered in the explosive development of science and technology in that era, and the emergence of two technologies seemed to end all problems and hidden dangers on this planet: one was reliable nanotechnology, which came from a coalition of countries in the northern hemisphere, Scientists believe that the newly emerging nanocomputer cluster will completely solve all problems including environmental pollution, human diseases, natural transformation and even alien colonization; another technology is an evolvable biochemical plug-in, an energy A mechanical device that completely coexists with biological tissues, and this mechanical device can even develop synchronously like the innate organs of the host. Rely on cellular energy for lifelong functioning.
The original intention of the research and development of the nanomachine swarm is to solve environmental problems and medical problems. Scientists hope that these cutting-edge robots can be used to break down pollutants and treat injuries in the human body. The biochemical plug-in is the basis for a leap-forward transformation of the human body. Thanks to the assistance of modern medicine, the human race is out of the supervision of the natural law of survival of the fittest, so the evolutionary process has long since stagnated, technology has become more and more advanced, and the human body appears extremely primitive in nature, and scientists believe that biochemical plug-ins will regenerate Pushing humanity to the forefront of the evolutionary path—because the ultimate form of these plug-ins is to become a part of the human body, fundamentally changing the human life form.
no doubt. In the last peaceful age of planet Droam, the whole world was immersed in an atmosphere of joy and confidence. Although there are always conservatives who are skeptical and wary of new technologies, the voices of these minority are quickly drowned out by the cheers of people all over the world.
As the technology matures, a group of people known as "evolutionaries" officially appears. They are new types of human beings with various modified plug-ins implanted in their bodies. Devices such as neural reinforcement beams, auxiliary memory chips, and neural-computer interfaces allow them to obtain various abilities that are different from ordinary humans. The crowd should be called "transformers", but due to the biological characteristics of those plug-ins themselves and the nature of growing and evolving with the host, the first batch of people who received plug-in transplants called themselves "evolvers".
As many stories tell, there was friction from the very beginning between the evolutionists and the purebred naturals. The innate advantages of the evolutionary crowd out the living space of the natural person, and the natural person imposes various harsh restrictions on the evolutionary person by virtue of the huge population base and the social resources they occupy. Either way, this friction was expected from the start. Sociologists and scientists believe that these are normal "social change pains", so human society is still functioning normally.
Until sixty-five years ago. A disaster broke out in the northern hemisphere, starting the "war" that has continued to this day, and also wiped out the prosperity of the planet Droam.
Of course, Hao Ren was very concerned about this disaster, but after searching a lot of information, he found that it was full of loopholes and contradictions. The truth of sixty-five years ago had been completely destroyed by the flames of war. I am desperately trying to record and publicize the beginning of this war in a way that is beneficial to me. In the end, Hao Ren only sorted out a few useful clues: the disaster seemed to start in many ways, including food pollution, a financial crisis, and an evolutionary riot, and the most deadly direct cause was an out-of-control accident in the nanomachine fleet.
Sixty-five years ago, the command center of the largest nanoscale fleet in the northern hemisphere of the planet was suddenly attacked. Three giant computers called "Masters" went down simultaneously during the attack, which directly caused the sea of nanocomputer clusters around the command center to go out of control. After the fleet's own safety devices failed for unknown reasons. These micro-robots, which were originally used to decompose inorganic waste and purify water, flowed to surrounding cities, directly dissolving the three largest cities in the world at that time—including the capital of a country.
This was the beginning of a great war that lasted sixty-five years, and it was chaotic from the very beginning.
The investigation results of the incident at that time have been sealed by history, but there are many rumors on the Internet. It is said that there is tangible evidence to prove that the attackers were radicals among the evolutionaries. They obtained the direct control authority of a part of the nano-machine group with the help of the special brain chip function of the evolutionary. Their purpose is to release the runaway nano-machine group to massacre natural people. After destroying the population advantages and social resource advantages of natural people, the kingdom of new humans is built on the ruins with the help of nano-computer clusters. However, due to the huge computing power required to control the clusters, all the evolutionaries who launched the attack died of brain overload. Dominant" in the engine room. Other rumors say that a country in the southern hemisphere or an extremist religious group launched the attack... In short, there are various theories, but there is only one conclusion: the loss of control of the nano-swarm has destroyed the international balance of power in the northern hemisphere, causing a large number of second-tier countries to take advantage of it. Fighting to become the boss, the contradiction between natural people and evolutionaries has been completely intensified. Driven by a series of subsequent events, the war has spread out of control across the entire planet.
No one could have imagined that this war would have lasted for a full sixty-five years, until now it has almost destroyed all order on this planet, and a deformed, lingering human civilization is living here, and the original appearance of this civilization has long been Nothing left.
After knowing the cause and current situation of the planet's current situation, Hao Ren entered the detailed entry about "evolutionary", and he finally understood what happened to the first-generation evolutionary and the second-generation evolutionary.
The relationship between the two generations of evolutionaries is not a literal "seniority" relationship, but refers to the transformation techniques they each use. The technical basis of the evolutionary is the biochemical plug-in, and the early biochemical plug-in can only be applied to more mature individuals, and the implantation surgery usually occurs after the age of fourteen—or even later, at the age of eighteen. This kind of implant surgery is performed on a mature human body, so the degree of modification is limited. It is usually some partial limb enhancement, and obvious surgical traces can be seen on the outside of the body. The socket behind Nolan's head is an example. Because this kind of transformation technology is relatively primitive, people who adopt this kind of transformation are called "first-generation evolutionists".
To this day, new "first-generation evolutionaries" continue to appear. They are usually mercenaries who have to undergo transformation in order to survive on the battlefield or to repair fatal injuries to their bodies.
The second-generation evolutionists are human beings who use more advanced implant technology. They only appeared after the outbreak of the Great War. They are the "high-tech achievements" researched by the extreme faction among the evolutionaries after they successfully established a political power. Unlike the first generation, these individuals were modified at an embryonic stage.
Human beings seem to have played the role of the creator, and developed a "mechanical core" with "genetic information". They implanted these bean-sized mechanical cores into human embryos, and newborns were born with flesh and blood. A superhuman mech fused together. The reinforcement beams grown from the mechanical core will grow together with the human body, almost as if another body grows in the human body at the same time, and they will merge seamlessly.
These people are the "second generation evolutionists".
Hao Ren glanced at the blond girl lying quietly on the bed, and thought of the heterogeneous but completely integrated pipelines in the other party's flesh and blood.
"Your current body belongs to a second-generation evolutionary." Hao Ren poked the face of the data terminal (temporary version), "and I don't have any mechanical plugs on my body, so in the eyes of the locals, I am a purebred natural person." .No wonder they're so surprised to see us together—both factions are blown out of their minds now."
"Actually, your body modification is higher than anyone else's," the data terminal read brokenly, "but this machine is now using a tattered shell that you can't even open your eyes... and there is a hole in it!"
Hao Ren rolled his eyes: "The dead are the worst, can you stop complaining, this girl died so badly, you still occupy her body..."
The data terminal yelled: "Then you come in and try?!"
Hao Ren: "..." (To be continued~^~)
