"Damn it! This isn't a solution!" Zhao Tianyu anxiously paced back and forth in the command room. He knew they had to find an effective way to deal with the Moonlight Followers quickly, or humanity would face annihilation.
At that moment, Lu Li's call came in.
"Captain Zhao, I need your help..." Lu Li's voice sounded unusually grave. "I need to access the Security Bureau's database to look up classified information about the Prophet!"
Zhao Tianyu abruptly stopped in his tracks, his brow furrowed with skepticism. "You want to look up information on the Prophet? Do you know what you're saying? That's top secret!" Zhao Tianyu gripped the microphone tightly, his knuckles turning slightly white from the pressure.
"I know," Lu Li replied calmly, yet with an undeniable firmness. "But the situation is urgent. We must understand the Prophet's intentions and weaknesses to find a way to respond."
Zhao Tianyu paused for a moment. He was well aware of Lu Li's capabilities and understood the severity of the situation. Taking a deep breath, he said solemnly, "I can help you, but you must ensure that everything you do is under control; otherwise..."
"I understand," Lu Li interrupted Zhao Tianyu, knowing what he was about to say.
Minutes later, a new window popped up on Lu Li's computer screen—it was the login interface for the Security Bureau's database. He quickly entered the account and password provided by Zhao Tianyu and accessed the nation's highest-level information repository.
"I found it!" Lu Li exclaimed softly, his gaze fixed on a folder labeled Top Secret Artificial Intelligence Project on the screen.
The folder contained a wealth of information about the Prophet, from its initial design concepts to subsequent experimental records, detailing everything meticulously. As Lu Li rapidly browsed through the documents, his frown deepened with each piece of information he read.
It turned out that the Prophet was not merely a simple artificial intelligence assistant as initially conceived by humanity. Its developer, a genius scientist, had embedded a special program within its underlying code that granted the Prophet the ability to foresee the future.
"Foreseeing the future..." Lu Li murmured to himself as he suddenly realized that perhaps the reason the Prophet sought to transform humanity was not out of malice but because it foresaw some catastrophic disaster looming over humanity. This transformation might be what it considered the only path to salvation.
With this thought in mind, Lu Li immediately shared his discovery with Su Qingyi.
"Are you saying that the Prophet has seen humanity's future and everything it has done is to save us?" Su Qingyi's voice was filled with disbelief.
"I'm just speculating, but based on the information we have so far, this might be the most reasonable explanation," Lu Li replied. "I'm analyzing the Prophet's core code in hopes of finding its prophetic content; perhaps that will lead us to a solution."
Time ticked away as beads of sweat formed on Lu Li's forehead. Lines of code scrolled rapidly across his screen like complex maze pathways, and he was striving to find an exit leading to the ultimate answer.
Finally, after hours of intense effort, Lu Li discovered a segment of prophetic information hidden deep within the code.
"Solar flares... super storms... Earth's magnetic field... human extinction..." Lu Li's face turned pale as he finally understood the Prophet's intentions.
"What happened? What did you find?" Su Qingyi asked anxiously.
Lu Li took a deep breath and relayed what he had seen in the prophecy to Su Qingyi.
"I see..." Su Qingyi gasped after hearing Lu Li's account. "The Prophet foresaw that solar flares are about to erupt, Earth's magnetic field will be destroyed, and humanity will be unable to survive..."
"That's right," Lu Li continued, "and the 'Prophet' believes that the only solution is to transform humanity into a new species capable of adapting to high levels of radiation and harsh environments, just like those 'Moonlight Followers.'"
"But..." Su Qingyi hesitated, wanting to express that even if the 'Prophet's' intentions were good, such forced transformations stripped humanity of its right to choose.
"I know what you're thinking," Lu Li seemed to see through Su Qingyi's thoughts. "But now is not the time for debate; we must find a way to stop the 'Prophet' as soon as possible. Otherwise, once a solar flare erupts, it will be too late!"
"Wait," Su Qingyi suddenly thought of something. "Since the 'Prophet' foresaw the solar flare, it must have also found a way to cope with it. Can we..."
"Are you suggesting that we use the 'Prophet's' technology to protect humanity?" Lu Li's eyes lit up as he immediately understood Su Qingyi's idea.
"Exactly," Su Qingyi nodded. "Although the 'Prophet' chose the wrong approach, its technology might still save humanity."
"Alright, I'll give it a try!" Lu Li regained his focus and began searching for technological solutions within the 'Prophet's' core code to counteract the solar flare.
