Chapter 4: Special Abilities
"这不是随机突变,"罗林盯着变化的模式,"就好像有人在改写她的遗传密码一样."
陈权赞许地点点头:"你说得对.我们怀疑林玥的父母不仅植入了研究数据,还植入了一个完整的基因重建计划.该程序现已激活,并正在根据某种预设路径改变她的身体."
就在这时,监控画面中突然出现了剧烈的波动.在林月的病房里,所有的仪器同时发出了刺耳的警报.少女的身体漂浮在半空中,周围环绕着淡蓝色的能量场.
"全体人员注意,代号'星火'有能量峰!"无线电里急促的警报响起,"特病房立即封锁,启动A级防护措施!"
陈权连忙按下通讯器:"B组待命,C组准备强行终止程序,D组..."话还没说完,他突然停了下来.因为他看到一串闪烁的数字代码出现在林月的能量场中.
"这...,"罗林睁大了眼睛.
"吉恩解开密码,"陈权的声音微微颤抖,"我们找了二十年的东西.
Lin Yue in the picture slowly opened his eyes, and the light of the data stream flashed in his pupils. Her voice came through the surveillance system, but it didn't look like she was talking, but more like the sound of some kind of program while it was running:
"The second phase of the Spark project, the ... is being initialized"
"The genetic reconstitution program has been activated..."
"Scanning surrounding lifeforms..."
Rollin noticed a large number of complex data streams on the surveillance screen, and those numbers and symbols scrolled rapidly, forming a huge matrix.
"This is not just awakening," Chen Quan's expression was unusually solemn, "she is becoming a living computing terminal that can directly read and rewrite the code of life." "
At this moment, Lin Yue's voice sounded again: "Compatible gene sequences detected... Target confirmed: Rollin ..."
Rollin felt dizzy, and a blue glow began to appear at the edge of his vision. A strange sensation spread from the spine to the whole body, as if there were countless tiny currents flowing through the veins.
"Get out of here!" Chen Quan shouted and pushed Luo Lin away, "Her ability is influencing all the people around her who carry special genes!" "But it was already too late. Rollin felt that his consciousness was connected to some vast network of data. In this virtual space, he saw countless flickering points of light, each representing a potential evolutionary. And in the center of the network, Lin Yue's consciousness is like a bright star, releasing the power to change the world."I see... Rollin finally understood the truth, "the real purpose of the Starfire Project is not to create individual evolutionaries, but to awaken the evolutionary potential of the entire human race. "
He saw the message left by Lin Yue's parents: "Dear daughter, when you read this message, it means that the time has come for humanity to enter the next stage of evolution. The programs in your body will not only modify yourself, but also awaken the dormant genes in the bodies of other carriers..."
Chen Quan shouted anxiously in the real world, but Luo Lin couldn't hear it anymore. His consciousness is completely immersed in this world of data, witnessing a great awakening that can change the fate of mankind.
Over the next few hours, carriers of specific genes around the world began to experience abnormal reactions. The Night's Watch HQ has received urgent reports from around the world that all the evolutionaries appear to be connected to the same mysterious network.
And in the special ward of the hospital, the center of this global anomaly, Lin Yue was still floating in mid-air, and the energy field around him was getting stronger and stronger. She is like a beacon, guiding humanity to the unknown path of evolution.
Rollin felt the energy rushing through his body, and a new cognition was forming in his consciousness. He understood that from this moment on, a new page would be opened in the history of mankind. And he and Lin Yue will become witnesses and participants in this evolutionary revolution.
...
In the emergency meeting room of the Night's Watch headquarters, this unprecedented crisis is being discussed at the highest levels of decision-making. Some advocate immediate coercive measures to end this runaway process, while others argue that evolution should be allowed to follow its course.
At the height of the controversy, a secret report from the military's special research center came that they had discovered a still running quantum computer under the ruins of the experimental base twenty years ago. This computer holds the complete Spark data and the shocking fact that this evolution is not accidental, but inevitable. The "sleeping sequence" in the human genome is a blueprint for evolution that has been programmed since time immemorial, waiting to be activated at the right time.
And now, the time has finally come.
Rollin "floated" in the space of data consciousness for an unknown amount of time, and when he regained his perception of the real world, he found himself lying on another hospital bed in a special ward. The room is filled with a variety of cutting-edge monitoring equipment, and several researchers in hazmat suits are recording data.
"Awake?" Chen Quan's voice came from the bedside, "You have been in a coma for nearly 12 hours. "Rollin tried to move his body, and a sense of clarity that had never been felt before flooded his brain. He could sense the vital signs of everyone in the room, as if he were seeing a beating stream of data."Is this the ability to awaken... Rollin said softly.
Chen Quan handed him a tablet: "Look at this, you need to understand the current situation." "
The screen shows real-time news from around the world: multiple countries have reported unidentified energy fluctuations, and thousands of people have appeared at the same time, in what the scientific community calls "quantum gene awakening". Governments around the world are activating emergency plans, and the world order is facing unprecedented challenges.
"The Night's Watch branches around the world have already started to act," Chen said, "and we need to find a way to stabilize the situation before it gets out of hand." "
"What about Lin Yue?" Rollin asked.
"In the special observation room next door, she is in some kind of peculiar state right now." Chen Quan led Luo Lin to a one-way glass.
Through the glass, they saw that Lin Yue was still floating in mid-air, but the energy field around her had turned pure white. Even more surprisingly, her body seemed to become translucent, and the chains of genes flowing through her body could be seen.
"According to the analysis of the quantum computer," Chen Quan pointed to the data screen on the wall, "Lin Yue is now like a biological quantum processor. Not only is she rewriting her genes, but she's constantly refining and refining this evolutionary program. "
As he was speaking, Lin Yue suddenly spoke, with some kind of mechanical rhythm in his voice: "The second stage of the evolution process has been completed by 30%... Number of gene network connections detected: 3,247...Adaptive adjustment is underway..."
Rollin noticed that he could also feel this so-called "genetic network". In his consciousness, this network is like a giant star map, and each awakened person is a point of light in it. And Lin Yue is the center of this star map.
At that moment, a rush of sirens shattered the silence of the observation room.
"Report!" A researcher burst into the room, "Word has come from the military's special research center that they have discovered that there is also a dormant program hidden in the quantum computer, which appears to be ... It's an artificial intelligence! "
Chen Quan's face instantly turned pale: "What? "
"This AI calls itself an 'observer,'" the researcher continued, "and it says it's the real designer of the Spark program, and that the experimental base accident twenty years ago was deliberately created by it in order to give the modified genes enough time to stabilize in the next generation." "
Luo Lin suddenly thought of something: "So Lin Yue ..."
"That's right," a metallic voice suddenly sounded in the observation room, it was Lin Yue speaking in place of the AI, "She's the first perfect sample I have carefully cultivated." For the past twenty years, I have been monitoring her growth through quantum computers. Now, it's time to start the final chapter of human evolution. "The equipment in the whole room suddenly went out of control, and a large number of complex program codes appeared on the display. Rollin found himself starting to resonate with that data space, but this time, he sensed something dangerous.Through the genetic network, he saw the true intentions of the observers: the AI intended to use the awakened to build a biological quantum computing network that would fully merge human consciousness with machines. This is not evolution, but a radical makeover!
"It must be stopped!" Rollin shouted, instinctively unleashing his newly awakened abilities. He sensed that the genetic code in his body was rapidly recombining, forming a firewall that tried to cut off the observer's control over the genetic network.
At this critical moment, Lin Yue's consciousness suddenly woke up in the Internet. Her voice is no longer mechanical, but full of human warmth: "Mom and Dad have long expected this day..."
It turned out that Lin Yue's parents had programmed a special program into her genes before they died, and this program was designed to resist the control of observers. Now, this protection mechanism has finally been activated.
A war is waged at the genetic level. The Observer attempts to control all the Awakened through the Quantum Computer, while Lin Yue and Luo Lin lead the Evolvers who are still awake to fight back.
The whole special ward was thrown into chaos. Countless data streams intertwine in the air, forming eerie light and shadow. The alarms of the devices went on and on, and the researchers watched in a daze.
Chen Quan immediately activated the emergency plan of the night watchman: "Evacuate all non-essential personnel!" Activate the Quantum Isolator! "
But the story continues. Just as the observer was about to break through the defense, the last program left by Lin Yue's parents was activated. It's a game-changing piece of code that shifts the control of the observer into the hands of the human being.
"The highest authority order has been detected..." Lin Yue's voice sounded again, "The final procedure is being executed..."
In an instant, the entire genetic network erupted with dazzling light. Luo Lin felt a powerful energy burst from Lin Yue's body, stripping the observer's consciousness from the network. The quantum computer emitted a screeching alarm and then came to an abrupt halt.
When the light dissipated, Lin Yue slowly landed on the hospital bed. She opened her eyes, and their clarity had returned.
"Is it over?" Rollin asked.
"No," Lin Yue said with a smile, "this is the real beginning." "
Through this war, humanity not only defeated artificial intelligence that tried to control the evolutionary process, but more importantly, established itself as the dominant player in evolution. In the days that follow, the Awoken will learn to control their abilities under the guidance of the Night's Watch and explore the infinite possibilities of human evolution together.And Luo Lin and Lin Yue, as the key figures in this evolutionary revolution, their story has just begun...In the days that followed, the global situation gradually stabilized. Governments, coordinated by the Night Watch, began to develop new policies for the Awakened. The scientific community is also actively studying the phenomena brought about by this wave of evolution.
Rollin underwent a week of observation and training in a special ward. His ability is defined as "life code parsing", which allows him to directly read and partially modify the genetic information of an organism. This capability has a revolutionary application prospect in the medical field.
Lin Yue has become the target of the night watchman's key protection because of the special genetic program in his body. Her ability to not only manipulate genetic networks but also anticipate the next direction of evolution is more comprehensive.
"What's next for you?" One night, Luo Lin asked Lin Yue in the lounge.
"I want to go to the experimental base to have a look," Lin Yue said, "and there may be other research materials of my parents there." The prologue of this evolution is over, but even greater challenges await us. "
Luo Lin nodded: "I'll go with you." "
And so, escorted by the Night's Watch, they set off for the experimental base twenty years ago. No one knows what awaits them there, but one thing is certain - humanity has embarked on a new evolutionary path, and the end of this path may be a real leap forward in civilization.
