Lu Yao's exclamation drew the attention of Xu Mu and Wang Zhiwen.
Lu Dahai quickly led her into the laboratory.
"Engineer Wang, Xiao Xu, this is my daughter Lu Yao, who is also... Lu Li's younger sister."
"Comrade Lu's sister?"
Wang Zhiwen adjusted his glasses, and his attitude immediately became much more friendly.
Xu Mu nodded and greeted her politely, "Hello, Comrade Lu Yao."
Lu Yao barely managed to recover from the shock and nodded to the two of them in greeting.
But his gaze was unconsciously drawn to the quantum computer next to him.
She came from the cyberspace forces and had seen the most advanced equipment.
But none of them can compare to the one in front of us.
If she wasn't mistaken, this quantum computer should be the most advanced T0-level supercomputer in Great Xia today.
What intrigued her even more were the several data interfaces that the computer was now displaying.
It is connected to those bionic mechanical mice that are waiting in service.
I don't know what to do.
She hadn't quite figured things out yet.
Xu Mu, who was standing to the side, suddenly waved the black banner again.
A translucent white mouse soul was skillfully guided out.
It precisely entered the body of a bionic mechanical mouse engraved with mysterious Artifact Inscription.
"Buzz..."
The next second.
The sensor in the bionic mouse's eye glows faintly.
As if it had truly come to life, it began to move its head flexibly.
Tentatively taking steps with its mechanical limbs.
Almost simultaneously, on the adjacent quantum computer screen.
The data stream suddenly refreshed!
A clear 3D stereoscopic white mouse model emerges.
Its surrounding environment is completely consistent with that of a laboratory.
The virtual white mouse moves in perfect synchronization with the real-world mechanical mouse, without the slightest difference!
Upon seeing this, a researcher in front of the calculator immediately reported excitedly.
" Elder Wang, we have successfully intervened in the target's brainwaves!"
"Initiating the construction and uploading of soul consciousness to the ' Spirit World ' sandbox!"
" The Spirit World? This is... a virtual world built using supercomputers?"
"That... the soul of the white rat from just now..."
Lu Yao was somewhat bewildered. She understood the virtual world; it was what was known as an electronic sandbox.
But what connection can this electronic sand table have with real souls?
Wang Zhiwen was slightly surprised upon hearing Lu Yao's words.
He could tell that Lu Yao seemed to know some basic computer knowledge, and he casually offered an explanation.
"Comrade Lu Yao, you're right. The Spirit World is the code name for the electronic sand table we've built."
"We're just trying to see if we can upload the complete soul consciousness to the information network using Soul Dao Artifact Inscription and Secret Method."
"The goal is to verify its survival status at the data level, and whether its memories and instincts are fully preserved."
Wang Zhiwen's explanation, and the synchronized movements of the mechanical mouse in front of him and the virtual mouse on the screen.
All of this surprised Lu Yao.
Uploading consciousness—this is something you only see in movies.
She originally thought the changes in her body were already unusual enough.
But to my surprise, the place where my brother and father were located was even more mysterious!
While she was still in a daze, Lu Dahai had already pulled her to the next experimental workshop.
She spent the rest of the journey processing what she had just witnessed.
His brain raced, combining Lu Dahai's identity as a cultivator with Lu Li's current situation.
Lu Yao suddenly blurted out.
"Dad, do Mom and I not have Spirit Root?"
"Um... yes... right..."
Lu Dahai was completely baffled by the question.
"Oh..."
Lu Yao responded with a sound of agreement and then remained silent.
Lu Dahai suddenly realized what was happening.
He quickly comforted Lu Yao.
" Yaoyao, don't be afraid. Although you can't cultivate, didn't Director Li say you have special talents?"
Even if you can't fly or teleport, there might be other possibilities in the future.
"What about Mom? Mom has neither Spirit Root nor special talents, what will happen to her in the future..."
"It's alright!"
Lu Dahai knew what Lu Yao was worried about.
He had actually thought about these issues long ago, since cultivators often spend hundreds of years on their practice.
Once one enters the Foundation Establishment stage, their lifespan exceeds two hundred and twenty years, making them a different being from ordinary people.
Lu Dahai might still have a chance to see Lu Li.
Ordinary people...
"Don't worry, my dear daughter, you just saw it too, didn't you?"
"With your brother's support, the country has made progress in bionic technology and even in the area of consciousness uploading over the past two years!"
"I reckon there will definitely be a major breakthrough in a few years. Even though your mother can't cultivate, it's possible she could upload her consciousness or even teleport like a cyborg!"
"Besides... besides, isn't there your brother too?"
My brother?
"Yeah, you have to trust your brother. If we can upload our consciousness, when your brother becomes an immortal and comes back... maybe he can even regain his physical body or something."
After she finished speaking, Lu Yao remained silent.
She didn't really believe any of this at first.
But she had just witnessed an experiment involving the uploading of consciousness.
At this rate, it might really be possible in the future...
The two walked through the corridor, but hadn't yet reached the door of the next workshop.
Then came a series of sharp, piercing sounds as if something was cutting through the air.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh whoosh!"
With a whooshing sound, the two arrived at the Artifact Refining Industrial Production Workshop.
Upon entering, dozens of gleaming silver flying swords of uniform design sped past overhead along the transmission track.
The assembly area extends deep into the interior.
Five strange, shimmering production lines coiled like giant metal dragons.
The Spirit Machinery arm precisely inscribed inscriptions on various artifact blanks.
The psionic welding torch emitted strange halos of light.
Workshop foreman Zhou Zhenhua stood in front of the central control console, issuing orders in a deep voice through the communicator:
"Attention all units, accelerate the progress again!"
"Line 1 must complete its second-stage upgrade by the end of the year."
"The other eight fully automated production lines will also be fully operational!"
The sound was clear and powerful amidst the roar of the machine.
Lu Yao looked at the somewhat unfamiliar and magnificent industrial scene before her, feeling deeply shocked.
She originally thought that cultivators' weapon crafting was like what was written in novels.
How could anyone imagine that such a magical Law Artifact could be mass-produced like a conventional weapon?
Lu Dahai explained quietly at the opportune moment.
"These are the results of our efforts over the past few years. In the past, it would take half a month to make a single Law Artifact."
"Now, a single production line can produce dozens of standard 'flying swords' every day!"
"And there's Ligue 1 and stuff like that, you'll learn about them gradually later."
The two did not linger.
We walked through several workshops in succession.
This includes Cultivation Method Literature Deduction Workshop, Pill Biological Extraction Workshop, Talisman Drafting and Engraving Workshop, and Formation Drawing and Layout Workshop, among others.
As she looked at each one, Lu Yao became increasingly surprised and amazed.
Compared to the demonstrations inside the entire Bureau 749 base, her own abilities seemed rather insignificant.
Upon arriving at the final Spiritual Power Crop Cultivation Workshop...
Lu Yao was stunned into place by the bionic mechanical mouse that was winking at her.
A white robot mouse, clearly different from all the other bionic mechanical mice, was looking at her with curiosity.
Upon seeing that it was Lu Dahai who brought people in, the mechanical rat actually clasped its hands in a fist salute to Lu Dahai!
"This... this is?!"
Lu Yao turned around, her eyes filled with surprise.
I feel like my worldview has been completely reshaped today.
Lu Dahai waved his hand, signaling her not to get agitated.
"This is... Brocade Fur."
"It's the first Spirit Machinery creature we created here using the method your brother passed down."
"Hmm... you can also call it... Brocade Fur Patriarch..."
