Virus Leak

"Madman."

At once, those two words surged into the Academician's mind.

He had not expected it.

The chief engineer was actually this insane.

He actually wanted to use the radiation from a nuclear bomb to alter genes.

Very soon.

Academician Yang Chang's remarks were delivered to His Majesty the Emperor at the fastest possible speed.

Yang Yu read Yang Chang's remarks and fell into deep thought.

"Your Majesty, this man is far too insane. I'm afraid he'll be difficult to control!"

The Secretary-General stood nearby and spoke in a low voice.

He actually wanted to study mutated genes.

"Insane?"

Yang Yu rubbed his chin, his eyes flickering constantly.

Whether he was a genius or a madman, it didn't matter.

At least someone was willing to experiment.

Genes were a crucial step that humanity had to take on the road forward.

"Don't bring this matter up again."

Yang Yu placed the document on the table and lightly tapped the tabletop.

Seeing His Majesty's actions, the Secretary-General said nothing more.

After the Secretary-General left.

Yang Yu said softly, "Replace him."

"Understood." A cold voice rang out from the darkness.

The next day.

The Secretary-General was replaced.

The former Secretary-General regretfully left the stage.

Those who did not understand the emperor's heart should not linger at his side.

Empire Calendar Year 615.

The Star Ancient Empire launched the 5G Network and made it available for the empire's citizens.

The Imperial Network Company received word from above and pushed forward the development of the 5G Network with all its might.

In just three short years.

The 5G Network had completely covered the globe.

Empire Calendar Year 616.

The artificial intelligence "Xingchen" fully entered the imperial network, and the imperial cabinet sternly warned all commercial companies in the empire: no matter how they researched artificial intelligence, if any artificial intelligence connected to the imperial network, they would bear the consequences.

Artificial intelligence was far too overbearing and ruthless, and could easily throw the empire's economic market into chaos.

It could even manipulate the stock market and the like.

Therefore, artificial intelligence was forbidden from connecting to the network.

Even if one connected it to the network, one had to report it to the empire and implement corresponding restrictions.

Otherwise.

They would bear the consequences.

If artificial intelligence "Xingchen" discovered that an artificial intelligence was attempting to learn through the network, there would be only one outcome.

Destruction.

Empire Calendar Year 620.

The Star Ancient Empire achieved a breakthrough in Gene Technology.

Cancer was conquered by Academician Yang Chang of the Biological Gene Research Institute.

From then on.

The Star Ancient Empire would escape the torment of cancer and other terminal illnesses, while also greatly reducing the financial burden on the empire's citizens.

Yang Chang became the first One-Star Academician in the history of the empire's genetics field, as well as the first Star-Level Academician in the empire's history. He was unquestionably the next president of the Imperial Academy of Engineering.

The empire also announced the astonishing privileges that an imperial One-Star Academician could exercise.

One-Star Academician: could mobilize an army of no more than ten thousand soldiers from any location, use 1% of the empire's resources for research, directly apply to the Imperial Treasury for project research funding, and receive annual benefits of up to five hundred million yuan.

Conquering cancer would certainly damage the interests of those merchants, but in the face of the empire's cold machinery, no one dared voice any objections.

Some merchants attempted to attack Yang Chang through online public opinion.

However.

Before the empire even took action, the citizens who had seen hope of curing cancer were the first to refuse.

Empire Calendar Year 623.

Not long after nuclear weapons were born.

Through the efforts of the Imperial Academy of Engineering, the hydrogen bomb finally stepped onto the stage of history.

Although the Star Ancient Empire had developed the hydrogen bomb, it had not mastered the technology to preserve it, causing the Imperial Academy of Engineering to continue investing heavily in research into hydrogen-bomb preservation technology.

Empire Calendar Year 625.

The Space Station developed by the Imperial Academy of Engineering was successfully launched.

This was the latest breakthrough in the aerospace industry.

In the time that followed.

The Star Ancient Empire's technological development advanced by leaps and bounds.

Society's development likewise surged forward alongside aerospace and aviation technology.

Empire Calendar Year 650.

After years of testing by the Star Ancient Empire.

A Starry Sky Technology Company from the imperial capital spent decades on research and development, and the first batch of artificial humans came into existence.

With the appearance of the artificial humans.

The entire empire began to fall into a state of panic.

This was because the appearance of artificial humans would inevitably threaten their jobs.

For a time.

The entire empire erupted into an uproar over the appearance of artificial humans.

Many internet celebrities supported by various capital groups began attacking the existence of artificial humans, while secretly cooperating with Starry Sky Technology Company to customize exclusive AIPs (artificial humans) for themselves.

However, not long after the news broke, the imperial cabinet directly endorsed Starry Sky Technology Company.

It also informed the empire's citizens.

Artificial humans would not take their jobs. They would only appear in dangerous positions.

At the same time.

The imperial cabinet also sent a warning to Starry Sky Technology Company.

It was forbidden to customize AIPs for anyone or add any other nonhuman abilities to AIPs. Otherwise, they would bear the consequences.

Until Empire Calendar Year 651.

The cabinet.

"Slap~"

Prime Minister Long Lin slammed his palm down on the table and glared at everyone present. He shouted in a deep voice, "Who? Who approved the filming of this kind of movie? What is this? This is insulting His Majesty. How many heads do you have to lose?"

Insane.

He felt that the entire world was about to go mad.

Someone had actually dared to insult His Majesty the Emperor.

At this.

The cabinet ministers looked at one another.

None of them dared to speak.

This was because they had never approved the review of any movie.

"This matter is a huge problem."

"The entire imperial network has already gone insane."

"I just don't understand. How did they pass the review, and how did they dare release it?"

"They're courting death, but this isn't how you court death."

"If you're going to play His Majesty the Emperor, then play His Majesty the Emperor. What kind of pathetic thing did you turn him into?"

"Are you reciting numbers?"

"Especially that slicked-back hair, that eternally unchanged hairstyle. Is this a war? This is insulting the empire's forebears and the empire's martyrs."

"They must be severely punished."

The Minister of Justice shouted in a deep voice, "Especially the entertainment industry as it is now. Return all the capital's money, and split the fans' money thirty-seventy. What kind of behavior is this? Money laundering?"

"Money muling."

The Minister of Public Security said awkwardly.

"Whether it's money muling or money laundering, arrest them."

"The entertainment industry needs to be suppressed. What kind of stray cats and dogs dare come out here and cause trouble?"

"This stage is still the empire's stage, not the stage of this bunch of clowns. We haven't controlled them for so many years, and they've grown more and more audacious."

The Minister of Justice said coldly, "The laws of my Ministry of Justice still aren't strict enough."

While the cabinet was discussing the movie.

The Imperial Study.

The Secretary-General's face was pale as he hurried into the Imperial Study and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something terrible has happened."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Yang Yu raised his head and looked at the Secretary-General with interest.

After all.

The Secretary-General had followed him for more than ten years.

He had always been steady.

Why was he suddenly so flustered today?

Could it be because those internet celebrities had insulted him?

"The biological virus at the Biological Gene Research Institute has leaked."
