Chapter 599

"... Self-logic closed loop! Cannot anchor, cannot perceive, cannot penetrate!"

In a wild area far from Redemption Town in the Redemption Land, there was a research institute, or rather, the Gaia human research elites who had awakened. They had already built more than a dozen research institutes of different types in the Redemption Land, and this research institute was the one with the strictest security system and the most dangerous research direction among all of them.

Research targeting the Source!

Long before the operation to rescue Chu Minghao, whether it was Gao Zhanggong, Wang Yihui, or Xu Ruonan, they all felt that Wu Pifu's positioning of himself was unclear and he was unfamiliar with his own authority, which was not a good thing.

But Wu Pifu clearly stated that he was just a mere "Pifu" (common man), neither a political creature nor interested in these matters of politics, power, and status. Even before entering the Warhammer Dream World this time, he still hadn't bothered to understand these things, and he was also unaware of how terrifying the power he possessed as one of the three human giants was.

Whether such a research institute existed, what it studied, and what results it had, was actually just an insignificant part of Wu Pifu's vast range of power.

At this moment, Chu Minghao stood in the research institute's lobby with a livid face, looking at the various information data displayed on the lobby screen, his whole body seemingly exuding a kind of low pressure.

"Continue!"

After watching for a long time, Chu Minghao said loudly: "Perform high-dimensional topological data analysis. There is no perfect logic closed loop in this world. Even if there is only a tiny loophole, you must analyze it for me. Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Everyone in the entire research institute responded with a roar, each of them anxious with flushed faces. Over a hundred researchers of various types, cooperating with the electronic system, began to calculate and analyze a certain type of higher mathematics.

"Tsk tsk tsk, as expected of the Human Unified Government that controls the most resources. Even though only a few million people have awakened, you can still put together such a luxurious research team. Unlike me, searching the entire Dream World for sleep pods that have fallen into the Dream World and the highly addicted personnel of the Human Reform Alliance, exhausted to death, and my subordinates are only a handful..." A voice sounded behind Chu Minghao.

Chu Minghao didn't look back, just said: "I don't have time to joke with you here. One hour and twenty-seven minutes have passed. According to the Dream World time flow rate, the maximum flow rate difference of the 0.5 Dream World is 15 to 1, which means that the war over there might have been going on for a day..."

Liang Min walked out from behind Chu Minghao and also looked at the big screen. He shook his head and said: "Judging from the depth color difference displayed above, the Dream World has already fallen to the 0.4 level, so the maximum time flow rate can reach 35 to 40 to 1. Maybe the battle is already over."

Chu Minghao glared fiercely at Liang Min and said: "Are you here to find fault? The fact that it is still in a self-logic closed loop proves that the battle is still continuing!"

Liang Min scratched his nostril and said: "It could also be considered that the battle is over and the Source is trying to analyze the Super Brain, right?"

Chu Minghao reached out and grabbed Liang Min by the collar, pulling him toward the exit of the research institute, saying as he walked: "Come, come, let's go out and have a good talk about whether it's over or not."

Liang Min looked helpless, patted away Chu Minghao's hand, and said: "Can't you handle the truth? Then let's talk about something more exciting. How about I ask you to launch a Great Purge?"

Chu Minghao's face darkened, and he turned around without a word.

The colors of the light map on the screen were still changing, but Chu Minghao and Liang Min were both true top students. Using the Super Brain to learn, the efficiency was unimaginable to ordinary people. Both of them had doctoral degrees in more than a dozen fields. In terms of research ability alone, the two of them were worth the sum of everyone in this entire research institute. However, they both had their own tasks and positioning, and no time to engage in research.

After watching for a few seconds, Liang Min said: "Main control computer, perform information layer isolation on the central lobby."

"... Command confirmed, information layer isolation has been activated."

"Main control computer, reveal the screen information blurring effect."

"... Warning! Once the information blurring effect is lifted, it will..."

"Control command, *****... Lift."

As Liang Min recited a string of more than 50 digits and letters combined, the big screen in front of the two gradually changed from pure colors, and a blurry ellipse appeared in their eyes.

At the same time, the area where Chu Minghao and Liang Min were standing changed subtly. This change was very slight. If an ordinary person were here, they would only feel inexplicably cold. If someone with high spiritual perception were here, they could faintly hear some sounds or see shadows flashing by.

However, Chu Minghao and Liang Min ignored it and just kept looking at the ellipse.

"Tsk tsk tsk... Main Brain, eliminate the secondary virtuality, activate the real image..." Liang Min clicked his tongue at the ellipse for a long time and finally couldn't help but speak.

Chu Minghao immediately said: "Main Brain, reject the request made by Liang Min, maintain the secondary virtual image."

"Judging... Judgment complete, maintain secondary virtual image."

The Main Brain's voice sounded, and the image in front of the two did not change at all. Liang Min immediately said with dissatisfaction: "I said, that's enough. Even if we lift the secondary virtual image, you and I are both here, are we still afraid of the pollution and erosion of this mere 0.3 Dream World? If He dares to come, it's a good thing. If He can project more power in front of us, then Wu Pifu will have much less pressure over there. Don't you even understand this principle?"

Chu Minghao roared with an ugly face: "But this is the Redemption Land. Once He is lured here, the coordinates of the Redemption Land have a high probability of being exposed. Do you know what this means? We are not afraid, but what about the people living here? What about the more people who will awaken in the future? Even if only a trace of pollution remains, this is a terrifying nightmare for ordinary people!"

"... Then screw it all!"

Liang Min's face also darkened. He stared at Chu Minghao and said: "I hate this 'big picture' of yours the most. You really can't distinguish between the big and the small. The Fourth War back then, the battle for you to seize the Redemption Land, and now you are still like this... I'll just say it straight: you, me, and Wu Pifu are the big picture! Without us, human civilization is just meat on the tables of those demons and monsters!"

Chu Minghao remained silent. Liang Min's voice became more intense: "Not to mention the real demons and monsters in the Dream World that haven't defected yet, or even the Thirteen Singularity Companies that have already defected, the other four leaders of the Human Reform Alliance and the forces they control, and even the families, clans, and forces within the Human Unified Government... Without the three of us, everyone else is just their resources! Or do you think they will give up their own interests for the sake of human civilization and more people? Stop joking. You know that these vested interests are just..."

"But I care!"

Chu Minghao roared in a low voice: "I don't care about these vested interests or the demons and monsters. I don't care what they think. I care about everyone here, I care about the human race and human civilization!"

"Yeah, you care, Wu Pifu cares too, it's just me who doesn't care..."

Liang Min said somewhat dejectedly.

After a few seconds, Liang Min asked with killing intent: "So, have you found out who it was? Why would he, this reckless man, suddenly rush to the 0.5 Dream World by himself and take away the contained Spiritual Civilization as well?"

Chu Minghao shook his head, but he still said: "It's nothing more than the set they used to deal with Xu Wanfang back then—that ordinary people are sacrifices, that their sacrifice is... I can imagine what kind of rhetoric they used to deal with Wu Pifu, and his personality model happens to care about this the most, because it goes against his heart."

Liang Min chuckled, and the killing intent in his voice erupted nakedly: "So, who is it?"

Chu Minghao shook his head again and said: "I don't know. I used emotional perception to check everyone possible, but there were no problems with anyone, including Gao Zhanggong and others who are close to him, Xu Ruonan and others who have conflicts of interest with him, and the other presidential candidates who are hostile to him, or the other eleven family forces. I even checked the company personnel who defected, and there were no problems with anyone."

Liang Min thought silently for a few seconds before saying: "It's also unlikely that someone accidentally let it slip, because although it is a total decisive battle, except for you, me, and him—the three of us are the main force—the others are indeed providing anchor information accumulation for the Main Brain. But this matter itself is also very beneficial to the Main Brain. The Main Brain will issue related tasks, and all participants will receive a large number of points. So this matter can be described as a good thing from a positive perspective, and from a negative perspective, it can be said that we are using the lives of ordinary people to accumulate victory and treat them as sacrifices. So if it were an accidental slip of the tongue, it is unlikely to have made Wu Pifu act so decisively."

Both of them fell silent, because they both thought of a possibility at the same time, but for a moment they couldn't believe it.

At this moment, the ellipse on the screen began to wriggle, changing from an ellipse toward a perfect circle. The speed of the entire change was not fast, but the two of them saw it immediately.

"... The Source is awakening." Chu Minghao murmured.

Liang Min clenched both his palms and said in a low voice: "It depends on whether he can hold on. The Source's infinite cycle and self-closed loop lead to self-isolation at the information level, allowing it to transform from meme pollution into anti-meme self-sealing at critical moments. In this state, unless one was already within the Source's range, the outside world cannot interfere at all. Now... it can only depend on himself!"

The two fell silent again. After a long time, Chu Minghao said: "Mi has awakened."

"Yeah, Mi has awakened... one of the four remaining leaders of the Human Reform Alliance, and the one who has fought the most with our Super Brain. He actually awakened."

The two fell silent again. This time, until the image in front of them changed, neither of them spoke another word to each other.
