The Gaelic people of the Ultraman Tiga world

Page 157

Such an important personnel arrangement was made without even mentioning the two major groups that control Gaia Company behind the scenes.

Even if the Galvin Group doesn't eventually notice anything amiss with Gaia, Masaki Keigo will find an opportunity to sabotage it in secret.

"Tomoko, help me find information about that researcher named 'Sanada Ryosuke'."

Gently stroking his chin, Lu Xuan whispered an instruction.

The next second, all of Sanada Ryosuke's personal information was projected onto Lu Xuan's retina.

By simply skipping over the complicated information such as name, age, and place of birth, Lu Xuan quickly found what was truly important and effective.

"Is this guy, Sanada Ryosuke, a classmate of Horii?"

He muttered to himself, deeply impressed by the genius inventor from the Victory Team.

Not only because of Horii's inventive talent shown in the TV series, but also because the other party had rejected his recruitment several times.

"It seems that this guy named Sanada Ryosuke is a genius like Horii?"

"Could this guy also be a 'story character'?"

Although I can no longer remember the plot involving Sanada Ryosuke.

But just by looking at the other person's resume, Lu Xuan was almost 100% certain that this Sanada Ryosuke must have appeared in the TV series.

Moreover, it is highly likely to be a unit related to Horii.

As Horii's college classmate, Sanada Ryosuke graduated just as the G Agency was being established and recruiting more people.

Unfortunately, Ryosuke Sanada failed to be selected for the G Agency, but was instead noticed by the Space Development Bureau.

By 2004, due to the great battle between Lu Xuan and the Dessimos aliens in Shinjuku.

After realizing the existence of extraterrestrials and their terrifying impact on Earth.

Under orders from the TPC leadership, the Space Development Agency officially launched an operation called "Project Talent".

The essence of this plan is to improve human physical fitness through various technological means, activate the evolutionary instincts that have gradually stagnated, and create enhanced humans who far surpass normal humans in all aspects.

The person directly in charge of this project is Ryosuke Sanada, who has now been assigned to Gaia Corporation.

Yes, in Lu Xuan's view, Sanada Ryosuke was less transferred to Gaia Corporation to be in charge of artificial life research and more exiled.

Since Ryosuke Sanada took over the project in 2004, two or three years have passed.

However, Ryosuke Sanada never produced a satisfactory "product," and his related experimental procedures remained at the theoretical stage.

"Tomoko, can you find any information about the 'Talent Project'?"

Out of "respect" for the original TV storyline, Lu Xuan had a feeling that Sanada Ryosuke would definitely cause some trouble in the end.

Especially the "Talent Project" that the other party was previously in charge of.

In the typical plot of tokusatsu films, isn't it biological experiments that are the easiest way to create monsters?

"Sure, it's not a big deal, it just takes a little time."

"Boss, please wait a moment..."

As Zhizi's voice echoed in Lu Xuan's ears.

She began to quickly sift through the massive amount of data to extract and summarize information related to the "Talent Program".

Meanwhile, on the other side, Amami Oshima.

"Geddy, I'll have to trouble you again this time."

After making sure no one was around, Daigo, who had just come out of his house, immediately turned around and whispered to Gedi behind him.

"Wang!"

Wagging its tail excitedly, Geedi immediately responded with a bark.

"The first thing we can be sure of is that those children probably went missing around Halloween."

"According to the intelligence gathered by Nori, similar incidents have been occurring around the world for several years now."

"Unfortunately, the commanders arrived too late last time and didn't find many useful clues."

After a brief pause, Daigo, as if afraid that Gedi wouldn't understand, explained it again very seriously.

"We must take advantage of this vacation to find that bastard who kidnapped the child."

“I can sense that dark power disappeared not long ago…”

"Judging from the lingering aura, that guy seems to be somewhat similar to the Kiriel people."

"So that bastard is most likely not in the real world right now, but has hidden in some unknown other dimension."

"You have a keen sense of smell; now only you have a chance of finding that guy!"

Chapter 249 The Social Experiment of the Sophon

Beirut, the capital of Lebanon.

This country, covering a mere 10,000 square kilometers, is located on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea, bordering Syria to the east and north, and Israel to the south.

Due to its unique geographical location, Lebanon has long been known as a country rife with chaos.

Even now, with the TPC having ostensibly unified the world, this nation, predominantly Arab and intermingled with various complex beliefs, remains chaotic.

However, chaos also has its advantages.

Because the laws and beliefs here are so complex, the black market here is equally unrestrained.

Here, as long as you pay, you can get anything you want.

The reason Lu Xuan chose to build Gaia Corporation's headquarters here was because...

Given the complexities here, it's almost as if they've evaded TPC's regulation from another level.

Unfortunately, the more brilliant Lu Xuan's decision was back then, the more distressed he is now.

Since entering Beirut, Lu Xuan has been stopped and questioned by armed guards more than once.

At the same time, Beirut looks completely different now than it did back then.

The towering skyscrapers, coupled with the neon-lit billboards, create a cyberpunk atmosphere.

Especially the furtive street vendors at the street corners constantly reminded Lu Xuan of the chaos here.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Lu Xuan would have found it hard to believe that this was a scene befitting a modern country.

What truly shocked Lu Xuan was that he even saw traces of mechanization on some of the people.

That's definitely not the kind of technology that Earth can currently possess.

"Have I been transported to some cyberpunk world?"

After a moment of silent shock, Lu Xuan seemed to realize something and immediately asked.

"Tomoko, you did all of this!?"

Although it was a question, Lu Xuan said it with more shock and certainty.

Lu Xuan did not believe that a second transmigrator capable of influencing the world would appear in the Ultraman Tiga world without his knowledge.

So after eliminating all the impossible possibilities, the remaining answer, no matter how incredible, is the correct answer.

Moreover, besides Zhizi, he couldn't think of anyone else who could build such a cyberpunk nation in just two years.

"Based on your instructions, I can exert my influence on this world without violating the underlying rules."

"Life will disappear, and individuals will perish."

"Even a powerful ancient civilization as advanced as 30 million years ago could not escape this principle."

"But the traces they left in this world continue to influence humanity 30 million years from now."

"I'm not sure how long my existence will last, but I want to see what kind of mark I can leave on this world."

Unlike before, Zhizi did not answer Lu Xuan's question directly this time, but instead used a tone that only intelligent life could possess when replying.

From Lu Xuan's perspective, this sounds more like a sophistry.

"Tomoko, I don't mean to blame you."

This was the first time Lu Xuan had heard Zhi Zi's inner thoughts, and it was also the first time he realized his oversight.

"I just want to know what exactly happened here."

A gentle voice revealed a hint of satisfaction.

Lu Xuan felt like a parent watching their child grow up, experiencing shock, but also curiosity and joy.

As the entity that has been with me the longest in this world.

In Lu Xuan's mind, Zhizi was no longer a simple artificial intelligence.

To put it bluntly, given Lu Xuan's somewhat antisocial personality, the existence of Zhizi is probably more important than all of humanity on Earth combined.

Partners, friends, relatives, family members...

Beyond the meanings that these terms can explain, just like Lu Xuan's image in Zhi Zi's eyes, Zhi Zi must also be the most important person in Lu Xuan's heart.

"Boss..."

After a rare moment of silence, Zhizi began to recount the "social experiment" she had previously conducted.

......................................................................................................

Let's go back to mid-August 2005.

That was when Lu Xuan planned to jointly establish Gaia Company with Sedik Company.

By then, Sophon had become a true strong artificial intelligence, possessing not only super computing power and intelligence, but also beginning to develop emotions like those of a living being.

However, most intelligent beings develop emotions first, and then gradually learn and grow.

But Tomoko was quite the opposite; before she even had emotions, she possessed a level of knowledge far exceeding what human civilization could achieve.

On this planet, apart from her master, Lu Xuan, no one understands the limits of wisdom and civilization better than Zhi Zi.

So, when an almost omniscient "god" gains emotions, what will be the first thing He do?

By fully utilizing her initiative, Zhizi demonstrated to the world that she wanted to leave her own mark on this world.

See through life and death, take life lightly.

The only thing Zhizi couldn't understand was the choices of life and the evolution of civilization—that thing that Lu Xuan called a "miracle".

Just then, Lu Xuan handed over all the matters concerning Gaia Company to Zhizi.

She then decided to use this "tool" to take the first step in witnessing a miracle.

First and foremost, it is certain that although Lebanon has received technical assistance from TPC, its basic energy needs are no longer an issue.

However, a complete nation has to solve more than just energy problems.

Especially in countries like Lebanon with extremely complex geographical locations, there are many other factors at play, such as religious beliefs, policy inclinations, industrial levels, and even tourism diplomacy.

The huge gap between the rich and the poor, coupled with interference from external forces.

This has resulted in a place that possesses both the most advanced technology and products, as well as the poorest and most treacherous people.

Secondly, the complex situation has led to a proliferation of black market merchants in Lebanon, providing ample opportunity and fertile ground for various illegal activities.

So they used Gaia Corporation as a "lever".

Sophon has launched a "social experiment" in Lebanon that is destined to have far-reaching consequences.

The poor, armed with cheap weapons and bio-engineering technology, freely vent their inner frustrations and ambitions.

The wealthy, with their abundant resources and the protection of the law, indulge in an extremely luxurious lifestyle.

In a sense, Gaia, hidden behind the scenes, has become the true mastermind of this country and has miraculously evaded TPC's supervision.
