At Birmingham International Laboratory, Minsen and Hassan looked at the latest report, with a complicated expression on their faces.

Mingsen was mostly moved, but Hassan's expression was more playful.

Since Mingsen confessed to him last time that he belonged to the Ark organization, Hassan has actually been subjected to various temptations and threats, wanting him to join the organization, but he eventually declined politely.

Because in his opinion, it is one thing to engage in consciousness upload technology, but joining the Ark and becoming the so-called "escape faction" is another thing.

Of course, this does not mean that he is much nobler than Mingsen. On the contrary, his decision was actually purely the result of a trade-off, because he could see that in the context of the invasion of adjacent dimensions, the "escape faction" that is destined to abandon most people is impossible to be recognized by the international community.

At least, it is impossible to gain recognition on the surface.

Officials of various countries will inevitably formulate a series of measures to limit the development of this trend, which may include but are not limited to biases in economic policies, restrictions on individual rights, and even in the end, a serious conflict may break out. It goes without saying what the fugitives with obvious numbers do not have the upper hand in such conflicts.

Therefore, he did not intend to do such an unwise thing, even if he never made any meaning to the consciousness upload project, he was still fully supporting Mingsen's work.

----This is also the reason why Mingsen finally gave up on his persuasion.

Interests are always the most reliable thing. Since Hassan's choice is based on the trade-offs of pros and cons, it is impossible for him to do things that go against his own interests - for example, reporting the Ark Organization to the official and reporting the Hermes Organization, this kind of thing will never happen to Hassan.

After reading the report, Hassan joked:

"It seems that their actions are much faster than we expected... We thought they were just making breakthroughs in a single field, but we didn't expect that they were almost approaching the final form of BCI technology."

Hearing his words, Mingsen sighed and replied:

"Yes, since they can realize the transmission from machine to human, then in turn, the transmission from man to machine can certainly be realized."

"No, it should be said that they have implemented it. After all, the database call and search depends on neural signals, and they have obviously implemented the decoding of such signals."

"So, if they want to do it, they can immediately upload the consciousness to realize it--the only reason they don't want to do it is because they don't want to."

Hassan nodded in agreement and said:

"It seems like this now. So there is no other way to convince them? Isn't there two people in the Hermes organization in China? Can't they continue to try other...for example, unconventional ways?"

Mingsen glanced at Hassan helplessly and replied:

"Don't even think about it. China is different from a few years ago. They are the beacons of this world. In other words, they are actually more willing to call themselves 'fire'."

"After the release of BCI transmission technology, the support for them in international public opinion has almost reached its peak. Not to mention that countries that are friendly or neutral to them, even our own allies, have a large part of them."

"If I look at it from my point of view, now I need to find a way to really convince them, or there will be only the most extreme road left."

“What road?”

"Old thing, military threats. Quantum encryption technology will complete all replacement work within this month. Their information hegemony is about to end, and we still have room for military deterrence."

"That's not necessarily."

Hassan answered without comment, paused for a moment, and asked again:

"You won't know that their Golden Crow fighter jets have entered the final test flight preparations, right?"

Mingsen was stunned for a moment, then sighed again.

"Then we have to try it, otherwise, will we give up this direction completely? Until now, I still think we are right, and I am really unwilling to ask me to give up."

"The problem is that this tough method has no effect on them anymore. In fact, the results of trying and not trying are the same. Instead, they may become more alert and alert because of our bad attitude. By that time, we will have no chance."

"What should we do from your point of view?"

Mingsen frowned. He felt that he could no longer see any hope of turning around in this situation.

As he said, he always firmly believed that Ark was the right path to choose. In their plan, consciousness uploading is only the first step, and the next step, human consciousness can be combined with machines. In other words, "robots" will officially break away from the concept of "machine" and turn to own human cores.

In this case, humans can easily survive in various extreme environments. Ultra-long-distance interstellar navigation no longer needs to worry about aging. Just shut down the machine through the preset program, reach the destination and restart it.

No matter how many hundreds of light years, thousands of light years or hundreds of thousands of light years, it is a flash for mechanized humans.

In a vacuum sealed environment, a machine body can almost be said to be close to immortality.

By that time, the time scale that humans feel will become extremely large, and it is possible that the process of achieving many plans and goals will become in units of hundreds of years. Human development will also take a new level.

This is a unique path. In the past few decades, humans have had a way to solve the problem of space navigation or find ways to make themselves faster and shorter distances. Therefore, a series of concepts such as superluminal navigation technology, transition technology, wormhole conjecture, etc. have been proposed.

But no one has ever thought of changing human perception of time.

Just imagine, if a year is like a second for humans, will humans still care about the long journey of interstellar navigation?

Therefore, this is the ultimate goal of the Ark Organization, to change human beings' understanding of time, so that they can embark on a long journey to find a pure land in this dimension that can temporarily live in, where they can use the wisdom and experience accumulated by human beings for tens of thousands of years to rebuild and develop civilization.

To achieve this goal, we must first mechanize the body, and to completely mechanize the body, we must upload consciousness.

In the view of the Ark Organization, the so-called solution to maintaining the brain structure and replacing other organs with machines is completely nonsense, because the body will eventually rot. Since the brain is preserved, it is better not to transform it.

The final solution is to convert all machined from carbon-based life to silicon-based life.

This is a grand project. In the eyes of the Ark members, the magnificence of this project is far greater than that of the so-called "Beijinghuo Project" and "Tongtianhe" projects in China, but the problem is that the first step of this project can no longer be carried out.

"I think we shouldn't do this with confrontational thinking -- why can't we work with them?"

"Cooperation? What kind of cooperation are you referring to?"

Mingsen said in confusion.

Huaxia rejected the sharing of the core algorithms and databases of BCI technology, but in fact it refused international cooperation. Now Hassan has proposed it again, and Mingsen has no idea what he means at all.

"I mean, we can give up our goals for the time being."

"The situation is now very clear. Chinese people are consciously uploading technology in their hands. We don't need to repeatedly explore this technology. The goal is to get this technology from them, right?"

Mingsen nodded and replied:

"Yes, that's the question we've been discussing, how to get it."

"Don't worry, I said, we should give up the means of confrontation."

"Mingsen, why can't we be friends with those Chinese? Why can't we help them accomplish what they want to do first?"

"The Chinese are an extremely cautious group, and this cautious gene is deeply engraved in their blood."

"Believe me, they will definitely not be satisfied with only one option - they need solution 2."

"And what we have to do is actually put our consciousness upload plan at the top of the selection, right?"

After listening to Hassan's explanation, Mingsen suddenly realized and said:

"I understand what you mean... Actually, you want us to exchange time for space, right?"

"As long as we can afford to wait, they will start the alternative design sooner or later. Is that what does that mean?"

"Yes."

Hassan nodded with relief. This was what he admired most about Mingsen, and he never stuck to prejudices and outdated rules.

As long as the goal can be achieved, he doesn't care about breaking some principles that he has.

"But if this happens, we will face a new problem--how long will we have to wait?"

"BCI technology has just emerged, and no one knows how long it will take to develop and mature this problem."

"It's impossible to fully deploy the adjacent dimension invasion. We are still waiting for the so-called No. 2 plan, right?"

Hassan shook his head and replied:

"You can be completely relieved of this---the efficiency of Chinese people is not a joke."

"If I estimate it based on my experience, it is possible that within three years, or even as early as one year, BCI transmission technology will be fully launched."

"And when will they start the No. 2 plan? My answer is, the slowest, and within this year."

"So, what we have to do is take advantage of this time window to have a good relationship with them, and it is best to become their friends."

"No one will refuse a friend's request, will it?"

Mingsen nodded, thought for a while, and asked:

"Then what are we going to do?"

"This is not something I need to consider."

Hassan spread his hands and continued:

"Leave it to professionals--but I have a suggestion."

"Don't be smart, and don't choose for them. Just ask them what they need."

"This kind of exchange method is truly acceptable to China."
