Cutting-edge Technology: I Provide the Brains, the State Provides Everything

279: Successfully breached! But the defenses of the Genesis Engine are unimaginable!Light.

Boundless, pure white light, without a single trace of impurity.

The moment Lu Chen stepped through the light gate, he felt as if he had passed through a layer of viscous mercury. There was no sense of weightlessness, no dizziness; even the physical sensation of his body vanished instantly.

He lowered his head, wanting to look at his hands, but found that he had no ”hands” at all.

In this projection of Six-Dimensional Space, composed of pure logic and data, physical form was an extremely low-level and cumbersome existence. He was currently just a mass of consciousness, a thought wave wrapped in the golden radiance of the ”Tinder.”

”Is this the interior of the genesis engine?”

Lu Chen’s thoughts fluctuated in the void.

The surroundings were not empty; instead, they were filled with various geometric shapes that defied human description. They were constantly transforming, folding, and reorganizing, with every change containing a massive amount of information sufficient to deduce the birth and death of a galaxy.

If an ordinary person came here, they would likely be fried into an idiot within a millisecond because their brain couldn’t process such a terrifying information flow. But Lu Chen was different; his brain development had reached an astonishing 35%, and with heavenly craft’s full-power assistance, he barely managed to maintain his ”self” form in this bizarre world of light.

”heavenly craft, scan the environment.”

Lu Chen instinctively gave the command.

However, this time, the familiar clear female voice did not respond.

A deathly silence.

Lu Chen’s heart sank. Was even heavenly craft, the super AI born from the world of data, completely isolated here?

”It seems I can only rely on myself.”

Lu Chen did not panic—or rather, panic was meaningless in a world where even ”emotions” were objectified as data. He controlled his consciousness entity, swimming toward the deepest part of this ocean of light—the place radiating primitive fluctuations.

That was the core.

However, just as he had ”moved” less than a micrometer (on a conceptual level), an anomaly suddenly occurred!

”Buzz—”

The originally calm and peaceful white space suddenly trembled.

Immediately afterward, the surrounding geometric shapes, which represented the universe’s underlying logic, suddenly stopped transforming. Like countless indifferent eyes, they simultaneously turned and fiercely ”stared” at Lu Chen, the intruder!

An unprecedented terrifying pressure, enough to freeze the soul, descended instantly!

That was neither killing intent nor rage.

It was a rejection.

Just like the human body’s immune system detecting a virus, or a grain of sand falling into a precise gear train.

The internal rules of the entire ”genesis engine” suddenly came alive at this moment and launched a full-scale ”antivirus scan” against Lu Chen!

[Unknown low-dimensional logical entity detected invading.]

[Judgment: Contaminant source.]

[Execution: Formatting.]

A vast, icy, and completely emotionless wave of thought fluctuation slammed directly into the depths of Lu Chen’s consciousness.

The next second, Lu Chen felt himself ”disappearing.”

Not physical annihilation, but conceptual erasure.

His memories concerning the name ”Lu Chen” began to blur. All his emotional connections regarding Earth, humanity, and Su Qingying were being forcibly severed, cleansed, and reset by an overwhelmingly tyrannical force!

”This... this is the defense mechanism of the Six-Dimensional Civilization?!”

Lu Chen’s consciousness trembled violently. His proud ”causality interference device” was completely ineffective here! Because every rule here was Causality itself!

You want to modify Causality?

Sorry, this is the source of Causality. Whom do you modify?

”Damn it, I was careless!”

Lu Chen felt his thoughts becoming increasingly sluggish, like a computer undergoing a forced system reinstallation, watching the progress bar near its end.

Meanwhile, on the bridge of the expedition in the real world.

”Beep—Beep—Beep—!!!”

The piercing red alarm instantly stretched everyone’s nerves to the limit.

”What’s going on?! What happened?!”

Zhan Lang rushed to the console, staring at the frantically spiking red data stream, dripping with sweat. ”Commander Lu went inside, didn’t he? Why are his vital signs suddenly plummeting off a cliff?!”

”It’s mental collapse!”
