"Skain Schierode? Fu Hongying, are you sure this is Skain Schierode?"

"Call me sister! Sister!"

On the other end of the communication line, Fu Hongying raised her eyebrows and corrected her.

Fu Xi was still in shock and was in no mood to argue.

The search at the Old Dog Clinic has not ended yet. Instead, Fu Hongying's search for the source of the Interstellar Alliance's human brain bionic technology has yielded results first.

According to the archives, the source of the technology was eventually traced to an Alliance biological laboratory that was closed down more than 40 years ago.

The researchers in the laboratory are almost dead now, but they are still alive. The only member who is still alive is the war hero Skain.

"I was also surprised. I didn't expect that the last survivor of the laboratory would be him. What a coincidence, isn't it!"

Fu Hongying on the other end of the communication smiled playfully and asked aloud:

"What's wrong, brother, the case has been traced to Scaine. Do you want sister to help you catch her?"

"Fu Hongying, can you beat him?"

"Why are you looking down on me? Taskain is the strongest sublimator on the surface, and I, Fu Hongying, am also the strongest individual combatant in the Rebirth Army. Although I have never competed with him, I will fight him at least 50-50."

Fu Hongying sounded eager to try.

Fu Xi tapped his fingers to think about it, and then said: "Sister, please gather your people first and be ready to go at any time."

"I'm just waiting for your words!"

Fu Hongying shouted excitedly: "Being with the old man is all about secretarial work every day. My sister and I look like all the parts are rusty, so it's more reliable to follow my brother and have a chance to do a good job."

"boss…"

Tilu was beside him, unconsciously looking at the thorn sword left by Skain in the study.

During the nearly two months of getting along, Skaine was a qualified and responsible teacher and a charismatic elder. From Tiru's perspective, I had a very good impression of Skaine.

Fu Xi nodded slightly towards Ti Lu and opened the investigation content sent by Fu Hongying.

Human brain bionic technology comes from the biotechnology laboratory officially funded by the Interstellar Development Alliance.

The laboratory number is top secret and has not been made public today. We only know that the goal of the experiment is to develop AI with real life characteristics, that is, data life, and the project code is "Wormwood".

However, the experiment ended in failure. The laboratory was shut down and the researchers disappeared. The human brain bionic technology was just a by-product of the project. After the Interstellar Development Alliance took inventory of the laboratory assets, it was entered into the alliance's technology directory and can be used by all alliance members.

"Data Life Plan, AI with real life characteristics..."

Fu Xi rubbed his eyebrows: "Fu Hongying, don't tell me that the omnic war was caused by this laboratory."

"bingo! Congratulations on guessing it right!"

Fu Hongying applauded in the communication: "Let me tell you quietly, the central matrix of the self-proclaimed Pope of Light in the Omnic War was an AI sample that escaped from this laboratory, so the Omnic War was created by the laboratory.

It’s not an exaggeration. The rebellious omnics during the war almost wiped out the Star Development Alliance, so the laboratory was naturally shut down after the war and was researched and destroyed.”

The brutality of the omnic war back then was far from being as easy as what Fu Hongying said.

Think about it, what level of crisis is required for all giant companies with different positions and interests to unite and put aside their prejudices to deal with it together?

At least today, more than forty years after the end of the Omnic War, the southern hemisphere of the Azure Star, which was ravaged by omnics, is still a wasteland, and not even a decent new colony has been able to be rebuilt.

The omnics in war are not toys like the robotic beasts made by Madeleine.

"Sister, why did the alliance agree to the data life research project?" Tilu asked.

Fu Hongying gave a thumbs up:

"Sister, I feel so comfortable when you call me sister! If you call me sister, I won't call you village girl! Sister Tilu."

"Let's get down to business!" Fu Xi raised his eyebrows.

Fu Hongying curled her lips and explained:

"Forty years ago, the alliance was different from what it is now. Back then, the omnic war scared everyone, but now it has become conservative and timid. The alliance was far more... radical than it is now."

"The Interstellar Development Alliance, as its name suggests, is about exploring and continuously expanding in the infinite deep space to find new habitable planets and build colonies step by step, just like the Earth discovered the Blue Star."

"The alliance was in its heyday before the Omnic War. Big bosses from major companies sat together to discuss and prepare to launch a new round of starry sky development. Even the mothership was half-built... Hey! It's the star field mother that is now engaged in cargo transportation.

It was originally built as a colonial ship."

"Getting back to the subject, it is not easy to open up the starry sky. Especially as early as the Earth's era, the nearby star fields within a hundred light years have been explored and become part of human interstellar territory. If you want to find habitable planets, you have to go further.

In the unknown star territory, this navigation process may take tens to hundreds of years."

Fu Xi nodded after listening.

Modern aerospace technology has not yet developed to the point of leaping into the starry sky, and astronomical distances of hundreds of light years are still a huge challenge for humans.

It takes more than ten years for the star field mothership to return from the solar system forty-four light years away, not to mention expanding the astronomical unit again.

Fu Hongying continued to preach:

"The pioneers who are willing to go to deep space all want to get ahead. How can they be willing to die on the road and let their children and grandchildren enjoy the blessings?"

"In order not to waste their lifespan on meaningless voyages, the Alliance has launched research in two directions. The first is genetic engineering, trying to optimize human genes to break through the Hayflik limit (note 1) and make humans into ordinary people.

The second is the data life plan, which is to create omnium stewards that are smarter, stronger in learning ability, and more adaptable than ordinary AI, so that omniums can replace the pioneers in deep space development."

"In the end, both plans failed, and the commotion was quite big."

Fu Xi asked:

“The AI ​​at that time couldn’t be a smart housekeeper?”

Nowadays, intelligent bionic people are very common and are one of the conventional technologies.

The most cutting-edge technology, such as bionic people like Noah, has a mind similar to that of a real person and can learn and think independently.

Fu Hongying looked at him and shook her head, explaining:

"Intelligent AI technology has only made great and breakthrough progress in recent decades. This is also due to the phased research results of the 'Wormwood' project. The intelligent AI back then was far worse than it is now."

Speaking of this, Fu Hongying sighed and concluded:

"I don't know much about the matter. At that time, I was still a baby in the arms of my parents. In short, the 'Wormwood' project failed and the research results escaped, which led to the outbreak of the omnic war. After the war, the research was terminated.

Most of the researchers were arrested and killed, but only Skain escaped through his war exploits and is still alive today."

"The report is over, that's pretty much it."

After listening to Fu Hongying's words, the study room of Ark Mountain Villa also fell silent for a short time. The symbol of the reversal of the omnic war was the war hero Skain who single-handedly assassinated the omnic leader Dazzling Pope in a desperate situation, completely breaking the omnic power.

Command center.

Obviously few people know that both the pros and cons of the legendary story came from the same laboratory.

"The Wormwood Project..."

Fu Xi murmured, reciting the name of this harmless medicinal plant.

The typhoid dew point had woken him up before, and there were similarities between the three technologies of the wormwood virus, Nero Soul's wetware server, and the Alliance's human brain bionics that could not be ignored.

Since then, Fu Xi has suspected that the researchers who developed the Alliance's human brain bionic technology were members of the 'Emperor' and brought the iteratively improved wetware server technology to the 'Emperor' organization.

At the same time, this researcher is also the developer and disseminator of the wormwood virus.

Unexpectedly, after searching again and again, the final clue actually fell on the war hero Skaine.

The clues are all twisted into a mess!

Tricky, really tricky!

Tiru was equally surprised: "So Mr. Scayne is a member of the 'Emperor' and is also the mastermind behind the wormwood virus?"

Fu Xi shook his head first:

"He has this ability, but the motive is not yet clear... Where is Fu Hongying and Skain?"

"The last witness said that he left the Rose City area from the direction of the [Rusty Leaf] District. Based on the logical analysis of his behavior in previous years, Skayne should be in the Rose City No. 3 Mental Hospital."

Fu Hongying answered immediately.

"Gather manpower. Ask the company for help and ask the Security Department to directly send regular troops from the Star Patrol Fleet. Target the Third Mental Hospital and prepare to suppress it."

Fu Xi said and walked out.

Tilu asked him: "Boss, where are you going?"

"I'm going to meet Chuyue."

Fu Xi waved to Ti Lu.

The moon is the body of the star god, and the body of the star god is something that the 'Emperor' values. Maggie calls it the most precious treasure in the universe.

If Skaine was a member of the 'Emperor', he would have already been in contact with Chuyue when he came to the villa.

Didn't he do nothing when facing the Star God Constellation?

Fu Xi walked alone to Chuyue's room downstairs, opened the door and saw a shocking scene.

His pupils were shocked.
