Wisdom Sub-brain

Lu Zhiyu looked at the vial of serum in his hand, his eyes filled with immense hesitation. Although the several experiments he had conducted on mice were all successful, with a success rate approaching one hundred percent, it was not absolute. Therefore, when it came to actually applying it to himself, Lu Zhiyu still felt a sense of trepidation.

What Lu Zhiyu held in his hand was the Evolution Serum, which he had named the Wisdom Sub-brain Evolution Serum. It was a talent skill he had embedded into his own genes, designed to partition off the underutilized portions of his brain tissue to form a sub-brain. By loading it with a computer-like operating system, he intended to enhance his brain's computational power, turning himself into a being akin to a computer.

In this way, human learning capacity and intelligence would be developed to an extreme degree, which was exactly what Lu Zhiyu currently desired. The Wisdom Sub-brain would not affect the personality or emotional programming of the main brain; it was like installing a smart chip into the brain. Lu Zhiyu had no interest in superpowers like enhanced strength, breathing fire, or spitting water, nor did he feel they were of much use to him. Human intelligence and the brain were the most powerful weapons of all.

"Everything has been perfected; there is nothing left to fear!"

Lu Zhiyu took a long breath and aimed the Evolution Serum at his spine. His mental energy immediately locked onto the target, injecting the serum into his bone marrow. Instantly, Lu Zhiyu felt a chill run through his entire body, as if his physical form were a machine undergoing a chain reaction. The serum stimulated the bone marrow to continuously produce new cell tissues, replacing the cells throughout his body.

Lu Zhiyu stripped off his clothes and climbed into the nutrient solution tank he had prepared. Immersing his entire body into the liquid-filled vat, he knew these nutrients would provide the massive amount of energy required for his body's transformation.

A long time later, Lu Zhiyu finally awoke. As soon as he opened his eyes, he surged up from the tank with a splash, panting heavily. He looked around to see several Ant-Men standing guard and tending to him. These Ant-Men were like robots, acting only according to commands. Once Lu Zhiyu stood up, dried himself, and put on his clothes, they immediately brought him food and water.

After ravenously devouring the food, Lu Zhiyu began to examine his internal condition. He discovered that while other parts of his body remained unchanged, his brain structure had shifted; it seemed slightly smaller and more refined. The sub-brain was embedded with the main brain in a perfect arc, and the color of the sub-brain was surprisingly different—a deeper, blood-red hue that seemed to shimmer with a metallic luster.

"Sub-brain activated. Requesting permission to take over the visual nervous system!"

"Granted!"

A voice echoed within Lu Zhiyu's mind. Once he gave his consent, his vision underwent a drastic change. It was as if a computer window had appeared in his field of view, and his eyes functioned like camera lenses, capable of freely adjusting focus and distance.

Lu Zhiyu realized he could use his eyes as cameras to freely capture and store images directly into the sub-brain. He felt the entire world become crystal clear; his mind was incredibly active, with countless sparks of wisdom emerging. Problems that had previously seemed unsolvable now had solutions appearing instantly, and memories he had long forgotten could be retrieved from his mind in an instant!

"Sub-brain, establish a data library and categorize all information!"

"Confirmed!"

"Sub-brain, establish a research plan: New Human Creation Project and Evolution Serum production. Organize all relevant data and research directions for me!"

"Confirmed. The New Human Creation Project has entered the second phase, with 32% completion. The Evolution Serum project has simultaneously entered the second phase, with 21% completion!"

"Sub-brain, establish..."

After issuing a series of commands, Lu Zhiyu severed his connection with the Wisdom Sub-brain, finally freeing himself from that mechanical mindset and superhuman state. He had to admit, just moments ago, his thoughts had been flowing at the speed of light, making him feel as though he had entered a state of transcendence.

He could complete in one minute problems that previously took an hour or a day to ponder, finish learning plans that once required days of study, and accomplish countless tasks that were previously impossible!

This feeling was incredibly intoxicating and addictive, yet deeply terrifying. In that state, one could hardly be called human; the mechanical mindset threatened to override his primary personality and emotional programming.

This made Lu Zhiyu feel extremely fortunate that he had only designed a sub-brain to assist his Wisdom Brain Project, rather than a total replacement. Although the effects were similar, the results would have been worlds apart. Lu Zhiyu did not want to become a robot; he still wished to retain his own personality and desires!

With the Wisdom Sub-brain, Lu Zhiyu's New Human Creation Project progressed rapidly. Previously, it had taken him a month to design forty-eight genetic talents. With the sub-brain, his speed in consuming biological and medical literature was astonishing; the professional books, academic journals, and periodicals he had placed in his library for study were essentially all uploaded into his mind.

Through the Wisdom Sub-brain, Lu Zhiyu could list countless references and then design various potential development paths to test. Countless biological templates and genetic chains flickered before his eyes, constantly being replaced and refined. By the time the first New Human was born, Lu Zhiyu had already designed thousands of genetic talents.

However, Lu Zhiyu did not intend to pack all these talents into a single embryo. It was only natural for different individuals to possess different talents. He could distribute them across various embryos, with each individual receiving dozens or hundreds, which would be sufficient for them to inherit and activate.

Different races would also have different talents and inherited skills. Lu Zhiyu halted the New Human project once he reached this point, considering it a successful milestone; he had achieved exactly what he set out to do.

However, the successful creation of the embryos, their gestation, and their eventual development into a stable tribe would still require a long time. Lu Zhiyu had stayed in the Space Castle for nearly half a year, and he delegated the remaining tasks to the Ant-Men.

These Ant-Men would care for the "monkeys," and after the first generation of New Humans was born, they would slowly raise them within the Space Castle. Of course, Lu Zhiyu would not teach them knowledge or traditions; he believed their civilization and language should form naturally. He felt this was the proper way for a civilization to develop and that he should not interfere.

The Dimensional Gate of the castle connected to the outside world. Lu Zhiyu fixed the entrance in a lush, fertile forest. The Ant-Men would forage and hunt, ensuring there would be no shortage of food, and their daily lives would be perfectly sustained. All Lu Zhiyu needed to do now was wait quietly!
