Free Web NovelChapter 377: Chapter 165: Say That Again, What Is This?_2
I’m afraid such a spectacle can only occur under the bizarre social structure of the Superhuman Federation.
By the way, a large number of superhuman armed forces have already assembled and started setting up positions outside the Federation Government Building, ready to directly eliminate Lu Wenwu once he comes out.
What?
You’re asking why not just go in?
Sorry, most of these soldiers only have D-Class Citizen privileges and are not qualified to enter the Federation Government Building... let alone the temporary merged entry into the Ministry of Truth within the Federation Government Building...
Stepping onto the twelfth floor, Lu Wenwu lingered at the entrance he blasted open, standing guard for several seconds.
Seeing no one come up, he left, a bit puzzled.
While pondering why no one came up to chase him, he began searching for traces of the Elder Council.
The entire twelfth floor covers an enormous area.
The place he was currently in resembled a machine room, roughly over two hundred square meters in sight, surrounded by large box-type machines over two meters high.
The entire enclosed room was filled with a "buzzing" noise, seemingly from some large servers running smoothly day and night.
A bluish halo seeped out of these large servers, constantly emanating waves of Heaven and Earth Primordial Power.
This appeared to be some kind of hybrid creation of technology and the cultivation system.
Lu Wenwu attempted to release his Spiritual Power, extending it outward as much as possible.
There wasn’t much of an issue here, as normal Spiritual Power feedback was provided.
However, it felt difficult, like trudging through a gelatinous swamp, as if some indescribable resistance permeated the entire twelfth floor.
And only vague outlines could be detected, not as detailed as in the external world.
If I were to describe it...
It would be roughly the difference between ultra-clear 8K and 360p.
Soon, he mapped out a path.
The entire twelfth floor seemed ring-shaped, the entire outer circle resembling this type of server room.
The central inner ring, however, was somewhat sparse, with twelve noticeable protrusions emitting apparent signs of life. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
Lu Wenwu estimated this should be where the twelve Old Dengs hold their meetings, the legendary Elder Council.
He just wondered why they hadn’t fled.
Were they confident in their power, or overly trusting in the security forces below?
Lu Wenwu had no insight into their thoughts, only advancing toward the center guided by the vague Spiritual Power indication.
Upon encountering alloy explosion-proof doors requiring identity verification and security keys to open, he exerted his Qi Blood, breaking them down in three to five punches, easily advancing.
Theoretically, the defense of the entire twelfth floor was supposed to be impregnable, as no one should be able to break in.
Besides powerful electromagnetic interference and explosion-resistant, bullet-proof alloy armor plates, there was a means to disrupt Heaven and Earth Primordial Power, artificially creating a Land of No Spirit.
Coupled with a formidable Light Energy automatic defense system, even the top-tier powerhouses of the long-vanished Light Energy Race would face certain death.
But none of this concerned Lu Wenwu.
I read Spring and Autumn... I practice Body Refining!
You don’t let me mobilize Heaven and Earth Primordial Power; what does that have to do with me, a Body Refining champion?
You’re explosion-proof and bullet-proof; how does that concern my fists?
In this situation, Lu Wenwu dismantled as he advanced, breaching the final line of defense within just a few minutes.
As alarms faintly echoed from below, he had successfully broken into the central circular hall of the inner ring.
After Lu Wenwu spent a total of twenty-one punches to penetrate the astonishingly thick one-meter alloy wall and broke through a light energy shield, what lay before him was not the imagined meeting room, nor the imagined dozen or so old men and women.
The hall before him, more laboratory than meeting room!
A greenish halo emitted from a central crystalline column, casting the entire ten-plus-meter-high hall in an eerie green hue, resembling the burning of Evil Fire.
Around it, twelve large structural pillars arranged in a circle, each reaching from floor to ceiling, at least three to four meters in diameter, like twelve sky-piercing pillars.
The central parts of each giant column were transparent cultivation tanks resembling glass aquariums.
Within the viscous crystalline dark gray nutrient substance floated twelve enormous human brains!
Each was at least over two meters in diameter!
Illusionary-like optical cables connected these brains, converging inside the central giant crystal column.
Everything appeared evil and sci-fi, reminiscent of creations in ancient literature.
"What the hell is this? A brain in a vat? Kangmi Robot wetware technology and 710 Element Nutrient Liquid?"
Lu Wenwu was a bit dumbfounded.
He was originally here to execute a despicable kick the old man tactic.
Now... where are the old men?
Lu Wenwu glanced at the enormous brain beside him, the Eye of Insight opening up, instantly analyzing everything before his eyes.
[Number 9 Elder’s Brain/Number 9 Super Citizen]: 1000/1000
[Current State]: Absolute Rationality, Data Exchange, Thought Integration, Pseudo-fusion Consciousness, Brain Realm Usage 78.86%...
Lu Wenwu: "???"
Huh?
So this is supposedly the legendary Elder?
The legendary Super Citizen?
So it’s a brain in a vat!
You’re into wetware too!
Lu Wenwu suddenly felt a bit overwhelmed.
The orthodox Superhuman Federation had completely become Cyberstan People.
Truly, both sides engage in conflict while incidentally beating their own accidentally out of line pigs?
Now he understood why, despite sensing life signs earlier, those Elder Council guys hadn’t slipped away.
It turns out to be this kind of situation...
Lu Wenwu suddenly felt his plan was somewhat thwarted.
Originally designed to kill the Grand President, threaten the Elder Council, then don the imperial robe for a scene of "What is this? You’re rebelling, truly tormenting me!"
Now...
There seemed to be a major flaw in the plan.
How was he supposed to threaten a pseudo-cluster consciousness formed by a wetware computer array?
Just as Lu Wenwu hesitated whether to venture up to the thirteenth floor to see what the Grand President was all about, the giant green crystal column at the center of the hall suddenly glowed brightly.
A humanoid phantom entirely composed of light slowly materialized, revealing itself to Lu Wenwu.
That figure was entirely composed of light, indistinguishably male or female.
At its heart, a glowing element mass surged like a heart, seemingly harboring endless might.
[President of the Superhuman Federation/Super Citizen/Elder Council (E)]: 5000 /???
[Current State]: Light Energy Projection, Absolute Rationality, Super Computation, Data Torrent Exchange, Pseudo-Consciousness Aggregate, Pseudo-Element Life, Light Energy Core...
It slowly opened its eyes, gazing at Lu Wenwu with an indifferent look.
Lu Wenwu was stunned for a few seconds before asking, "So you are the President of the Superhuman Federation? And also the Elder Council?"
"Yes, and no."
The Grand President spoke, its voice ethereal like a choir child’s.
"Upon establishing the Superhuman Federation and securing the ruling species status, twelve Elders cultured their brains, continuously evolving with the 710 Element, melding their consciousness and soul into one."
"With the will of freedom and democracy running through, supplemented by the vast information of the entire Superhuman Federation and the ultimate technological crystallization, incorporating parts of Light Energy Race technology, this is what created me."
"Light Energy Race, here we go again," Lu Wenwu couldn’t help but retort, "Can’t you Superhuman Federation have something of your own?"
The Grand President calmly said, "Regrettably, before acquiring the vast majority of Light Energy Race technology, the technology level of the Superhuman Federation lagged by 314.97 percent compared to now."
"Among the currently widely equipped weapons in the military, 43.76 percent derive from Light Energy Race technology, including the most crucial superluminal transition technology and the usage of Element 710."
