I, the only superpower on earth

"Extraordinary Project" base.

This area is located on the outskirts of the imperial capital, and neither the satellite map nor the division units are displayed at all.

The area of ​​about two square kilometers on the ground is a barracks surrounded by fences, which looks very simple and backward. But only by entering the center of the camp and taking the elevator leading to the ground, can one enter the core area of ​​the base.

——It was a winding and vast underground space like the belly of a giant dragon.

Using hundreds of meters of pillars, the underground space built at a depth of less than 200 meters is full of metal skeletons and solid concrete structures.

At this time, there is a research institute that can accommodate thousands of researchers and security personnel at ordinary times. When there is an emergency, it can be switched into a shelter that can be kept safe for more than several years. The most cutting-edge precision instruments are placed outside, and a few sets can be taken out to support a national science fund project and become the core equipment of major scientific research projects, but they can be seen almost everywhere here.

The figures who hurried past in the base from time to time, although they are just glimpses, are all top talents from various top universities and scientific research institutions in China—not to mention Jieqing Youqing, and department-level researchers Not a few. And their research fields include biology, physics, chemistry, medicine... and many other disciplines, all gathered here.

But no matter those incomparably precious research equipment or top research talents, in this research base, there is only one research core.

——Just that one person.

"...Lin Heng, do you want to talk to Navalli?"

Lin Heng sat in front of Fuxi's huge main interface screen, looking thoughtfully at the image of Navalli in the thin plate on the secondary screen.

And right next to his hand, an old voice came from an already turned on phone.

"I think I should talk to him, Mr. Yang."

Lin Heng said calmly.

"Although we are 99% sure that he is a newly emerged Transcendent, if possible, it is best to knock out the remaining 1% of uncertainty... Moreover, this is the history of the United States. The very existence of an unprecedented powerful person is the most important external factor for us.

"...If possible, I think it's best to establish an effective communication method with him."

Hearing this, the old man on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then said:

"Okay, now that you've made up your mind, go for it—this new Mr. President, since he came to power, his measures of closing the country have caused a global economic crisis, and most countries in Europe are on the verge of bankruptcy. If we hadn't embarked on another path since last year, I'm afraid we will be too involved now.

"...If we can establish some consensus while communicating with him, I believe it will be very helpful to both the domestic situation and the world situation."

Lin Heng nodded.

Put the phone aside so that the old man surnamed Yang can hear the conversation here. Then, he connected with Navalli.

...

In the meeting room of the embassy, ​​both ministers and other staff have been evacuated here, leaving a private space for the communication between Navali and Lin Heng.

They don't know how the country responds, but at least they don't have the authority to observe.

So in the conference room, Navali stared at the screen, watching it gradually brighten.

"Hello, Mr. Navalli - don't know whether to call you 'First Citizen' or 'New President of the United States'?"

Lin Heng's resolute and calm face appeared on the screen, looking at Navali without fear.

"...Any name is a false name. For me, there is only one most important identity--that is a believer."

Navalli said lightly.

"believer?"

Lin Heng's pupils shrank slightly.

"Is that the god 'Tezcatripoca'?"

Since Navalli took control of the United States and stepped onto the world stage with a crushing attitude, some information about his past has also fallen into the desks of intelligence agencies of various countries. Lin Heng naturally also has the intelligence to read the relevant information.

So for him, Navalli's past experience is not a secret - he was born in a small village in Mexico, grew up listening to Aztec myths, devoted himself to the IT industry as a technical genius, and successfully created the "Luo West" the most successful AI model in history...

Therefore, Lin Heng also knew Navari's belief in "Tezcatripoca", a well-known god in Aztec mythology.

"That's right, aren't you the same? You are the apostle of the 'Yan Shen Temple'. The extraordinary person in Japan who turned the archipelago into red soil - behind her stands the 'Su Yuan Yu Ming Zun Shen'.

"We are all the representatives of the gods, the only difference is the god standing behind us."

Lin Heng lowered his eyelids slightly. Navalli's words undoubtedly amounted to a direct acknowledgment of his extraordinary power - but that was something that had already been expected and was just waiting to be confirmed. Now that the conclusion has been sealed, there is nothing to be afraid of.

But there is one more thing that makes people doubtful...

There are still many secrets about Navalli so far.

According to the judgment of the research department, his extraordinary ability probably belongs to the field of electronic information and machinery, so he has created many astonishing achievements in this area, and in just a few months, he has turned the United States into a world beyond imagination. science fiction country.

But when did he get the extraordinary power?

The intelligence agencies are still somewhat elusive.

The breakthrough of Navalli's mutation is the launch of the AI ​​program "Lucy", probably at that time when the powerful supernatural power was officially activated and has the ability to destroy the original social order.

However, when tracing the traces of his past, as well as the programs Navalli left on the dark web under the name "Jaguar", the research organization confirmed that even before the completion of the "Lucy" AI, his programming skills And the level of information has already exceeded the upper limit of most human beings, and has reached an unprecedented level-that is almost unimaginable by the wisdom of ordinary people. Could it be that he had already come into contact with the real gods that survived at that time? ?

This doubt accumulated in his heart, but Lin Heng didn't say it out. Instead, the topic was thrown to another place.

"I didn't expect that, Mr. Navalli, you are the ruler of the United States, but you didn't want to communicate with the people above us at the same level in China, but chose me, a person without official status."

He smiled, but Navari's face was still expressionless.

"Official positions and secular titles mean nothing to us. You are the most important person in this country. You and I should both know this."

Hearing this sentence, Lin Heng glanced at the receiver next to him, but after only one glance, he shifted from the silent microphone to Navalli's face.

"Maybe Mr. Navalli thinks so - but I think order is more important than individual status."

"order?"

A sneer appeared on the corner of Navalli's mouth.

"Under the action of universal gravitation, satellites will revolve around planets, and planets will revolve around stars. Even if a star deviates from its original orbit due to other factors, it will look for the next one with a higher mass in the universe. The celestial body as the center of rotation...

"In this world, the gods are the stars, and we are the planets. Other humans are not even satellites. They can only be said to be meteorite belts composed of fine meteorites. This is not something you can change if you want to. Yes, when you hold power in your hands, those meteorite belts will automatically revolve around you—this is an objective law, and it does not depend on your personal will."

Having said that, Navalli said as if he had made a final decision:

"What's more... I have also heard about some situations in your country. Although you don't want to get involved in order, have you become a role that the higher-ups of order need to please or even look up to?"

These words made Lin Heng silent.

The Mr. First Citizen in front of him made him feel similar to Yang Luo - both of them had a certain temperament of sacrificing everything in order to achieve their goals.

But in comparison, the former still combines power and desire more, and the secular color is very strong. But the man in front of him, who is clearly in a high position, has a sense of alienation as if he is indifferent to everything in front of him...

If I have to describe it...

That is - "sober madness".

"Perhaps what you say is true.

"But human life will eventually come to an end. At least when I am alive, I will try my best to isolate the influence of this gravitational force, and let the meteorite belts slowly stick together and become my own stars."

After a long time, Lin Heng responded like this.

Hearing this, a strange emotion appeared on Navari's face.

That's not shaking, but ridicule...or, pity?

For some reason, Lin Heng's heart trembled slightly, and he felt that he had said something wrong just now, but for a moment he didn't know what went wrong.

Then, he watched Navalli staring at him and said:

"Mr. Lin Heng... Do you think that although you have become a transcendent, your lifespan has not changed much?"

Lin Heng frowned again.

"I've cut some body cells for experiments, and I've also tested it... The telomere lifespan and the limit number of divisions in my body cells are no different from those of ordinary people—"

"Sure enough."

Navalli interrupted him nonchalantly.

"Cells, telomeres, number of divisions, accumulation of toxins... using modern scientific instruments to analyze, no matter how researchers test, they can only draw a conclusion that 'the life span of body cells is the same as that of ordinary people'. But don't forget, if you start from Analysis at the cellular level shows that our extraordinary power has no basis for existence, and there is no evidence that these extraordinary powers exist in the human body in any physical form."

The next moment, the words from Navari's mouth made the researchers around Lin Heng involuntarily exclaim, and Lin Heng's pupils shrank tightly!

"So, I can only use AI assistance and a large amount of data to perform biological simulation calculations, and perform fitting calculations on my abilities and the physical basis of the real world... The final research conclusion is: 'Anyone who has successfully transformed into an extraordinary Or, their bodies will gradually produce wonderful features that are different from the physical rules of reality and cannot be detected by biological means... Thanks to these wonderful features, any metamorphic superhuman, if he hadn't committed suicide or been killed , will have a lifespan of at least thousands of years!'

"...Do you still dare to say this now? 'A person's lifespan will eventually come to an end'. Any supreme being can only have a short lifespan of a few decades, so no matter what, his power will eventually be It collapsed after death... But if your lifespan exceeds the history of human feudal dynasties, will you stand in the center for thousands of years? Can you still swear that it will not change?"
