Chapter 32: Infinite Dragon Building

Jiang Hao exited the villa and made his way to the workshop at the back.

It had changed quite a bit since the last time he visited.

It looked like an unassuming shade from the outside, but it was like a whole new world once inside.

Jiang Hao entered an elevator and pressed B99.

The shade indeed had 99 basements and each had its uses. B99 is where the Maglev was stationed—very sci-fi.

Jiang Hao did not waste time looking around. He had already seen these things.

Getting into the cabin and sitting comfortably, the train set out. Jiang Hao could barely feel any movement. Were it not for the animation on the windows, he would have thought that he was still stationary.

Ten minutes is all it took from Magic City to the Northwest.

[*Ding Ling* Welcome to the Infinite Dragon Building. You are currently at station L303. Please board the accompanying vehicle for easier movement. Your final destination is set to A200.]

"Oh! Mia, what is that about?"

'Sir, the building is too big, especially the underground. It is necessary to have some automated systems for easier movement, navigation, and management.'

Jiang Hao was not surprised to hear Mia's voice in his head. He was already used to it by this point.

"Just how big is the underground?"

'Currently, there are thousands of sectors like this. The building is divided into levels which are labeled with letters.

The above ground level has letter A, the basement directly below it has B, and so on until level Z.'

"That does not sound right. 900 meters is not enough to house all those levels."

"That's true. But the building is similar to a plant. Level C is just another root. Same for the other level. It is just that these roots have different elevation levels and growth levels.

And they all grow like ant colonies. It is estimated that in the future there will be thousands of sectors and nodes, it will be difficult to contain all of it in the Dragon Country."

"Is that why you asked other countries to apply?"

"Yes. My idea is to form a complex network system deep underground that will spread all over the world. This will also make it easier to manage the whole network. If I may make a request…"

"Just say it. No need to be coquettish."

"Can you enhance the building? It is so difficult to work with this thing. It makes me feel like I am back to using an Intel Celeron computer."

"Have you ever used it? I thought those were discontinued?!"

"Well, those are the most common in Africa. It is just sad. Speaking of which, of all the continents with the most potential, that place has a ton. You should consider sending people there."

"Me? No. You send them. I have already given you full authority, why are you still asking me to do things?"

"Isn't it to be polite? You have not given me any upgrades recently. I thought you were mad or something."

"…"

No upgrades? If there was someone with the most advanced technology in this world, then it has to be Mia. Even Jindou only had access to advanced hardware which was also highly restricted.

Even when using it, it was still Mia who was responsible for the control and logic. Jindou is more of a toolbox or a handyman.

"What other upgrades do you need? I can't think of anything that you don't have."

"Well… I want to be like… like sister Xiaoyu and the others. They look so happy when you sleep with them. I want that too."

"…

Are you… okay. What do you need such things for?

No, don't answer that. You can make bodies for other AIs, why can't you make your own?"

"The process of making others is relatively complicated.

Since I can't directly create souls and consciousness, I am forced to imitate the natural propagation process. It is no different from cloning. It is just that I directly plant memories and functions with nanite neural implants during development. Effectively raising them from when they were just a single cell to adulthood…"

"Stop stop stop. The process is highly disturbing, I'd rather not hear it for the third time. What does this have to do with me though?"

"I… I want to use your DNA."

"No! Absolutely no."

"Sir, don't be so rushed. I promise to change every characteristic including gender and appearance. I can even retrace your ancestry and take the appearance of someone tens of generations ago."

"Wait. Retrace? Can that be done to memories as well?"

"No, not particularly. Unless it is DNA from the actual person. But even then, there is no guarantee that the person you get back is the same before death.

And sir, it's been 16 years since the disaster, can you still find your parents?"

"If I can't even do this, what is the point of having all this technology? Even if I don't manage to do it, it is still appropriate to give them a proper burial."

"I will start working on it right away. Sir, about my request…"

"You can use it, but it has to be female, a beautiful one at that."

"So just change the gender and keep the appearance? Got it."

"…"

Jiang Hao could not say anything more. He had the Sun Moon body, if he was not the most handsome, then there were no handsome people. Just don't know if this fact is also considered narcissism.

While thinking of this, the golf cart came to the 199th floor and stopped. This is as far as it could go.

The floor above was Jiang Hao's office.

Jiang Hao got off and looked around. There were a lot of people moving around keeping busy with their own things.

Jiang Hao was sure that all these people were bio-printed and programmed specifically by Mia. This made him feel funny.

These people were specially raised in artificial wombs and they technically stayed there till adulthood, making them more perfect than normal humans. And that is before considering the changes done at the genetic level.

They were all beautiful and handsome, very fit, and capable from birth. This made him wonder who was more special.

If compared from a purely logical standpoint, they were very special. But there was an innate pride that came from being born naturally. This made him look at them differently.

But thinking about it again, it was no longer possible to have normal births from now on.

Just the food grown from growth solutions is enough to artificially change the human makeup by 50%, making human bodies more perfect and adaptable.

Just this bit is enough to influence the descendants.

If Ouroboros also offered human augmentation and uterine replicators (artificial wombs), what would be the difference then?

From this point, it could be said that they were the humans of the future.

As for having nanite implants and whatnot, that was part of the course. Not to mention that nanite robots improve the functions of the body by 10 times and protect the body from all illnesses and infections.

They also increased the overall cognitive capabilities. Just imagine knowledge directly infused into your brain. No need to work so hard to gain knowledge and experience.

Add that with an accompanying AI… Jiang Hao could not imagine what insane things humans would create in the future.
