Chapter 136 Experiment
Although Chen Ming has such thoughts
But the difficulty...it can only be said that it is no different from the open grab.
The individuals responsible for manufacturing Yuhui are not allowed to have contact with the outside world, and it is basically impossible for Chen Ming to control them.
Strict isolation measures are also in place inside and outside the material transportation and management departments.
Chen Ming didn't even know if being so strict was aimed at him.
In short, he has indeed penetrated part of this place, but not completely.
Overall, it looks like this, neither up nor down.
It can be said that there is no opportunity to actually contact the new stars.
And it's not just the difficulty of contact, Chen Ming also has other troublesome points that need to be dealt with.
Even if he later successfully found an opportunity and sacrificed part of the Afterglow individuals he controlled, he successfully contacted the battleship's module and connected to it.
But from Chen Ming's inner feelings, controlling a battleship is still far from enough.
Forcible control will only cause damage to the Yuhui body that helps Chen Ming control the battleship, and his own mental power will also be affected.
As far as Chen Ming knows, although Yuhui's battleships are controlled by Alpha-class Yuhui like the cruisers.
However, a battleship requires a very large amount of real-time calculations during battle, and individuals who have just reached the Alpha level will definitely not be able to do it.
Only after you have been promoted to the Alpha level for a long time and have a greater increase in computing power can you control the capital ship.
Even Huihuang currently seems to be unqualified in controlling the battleship.
Only the Alpha-level Afterglow controlled by Chen Ming and located in the border star field between Afterglow and the Machine Tribe may have a certain possibility, but it is only a possibility.
Capital ships and cruisers are simply not on the same scale.
At the cost of losing an Alpha-class Afterglow, in exchange for controlling the Afterglow battleship with a high probability of failure, this is purely a loss to my grandma's family.
Therefore, if Chen Ming had this idea, he was immediately dissuaded by the high price.
And even if he wanted to indirectly control this new star by controlling the entire shipyard, the entire giant shipyard, he couldn't.
Not to mention that different areas within the giant shipyard are also isolated.
Let's just say that the giant shipyard itself is already larger than the battleship.
So now, Chen Ming can only give up this tempting idea temporarily.
First try to control the modules of the giant shipyard piece by piece.
When the time comes, we will find a way to slowly and completely control the giant shipyard, or help Baiquan do it. We will see the specific situation at that time.
Just when Chen Ming came up with such an idea, he immediately rejected it.
Huihuang suddenly took the initiative to contact Chen Ming through the emergency contact method he had discussed with him before.
Chen Ming immediately focused his attention on Huihuang and asked: "What's the matter?"
"I just received an order to remotely access a cloning research institute that is conducting experiments on your clones."
"The cloning experiment in the laboratory has entered the final stage. Your clone has been cultivated to the end. You need my help to select the final individual suitable for implanting your spiritual nerve."
"Oh."
Chen Mingping replied calmly.
It can only be said that even if he didn't know about this kind of thing, he would have guessed that Yu Hui was definitely doing it.
But Huihuang added again: "Also, a special thing with psychic powers was successfully cloned in the laboratory."
Chen Ming cheered up and asked: "Thing? Isn't it a psychic clone?"
"No. Part of its clone's body tissue has mutated and has psychic powers. It is more like some kind of psychic creature."
Chen Ming couldn't understand what Huihuang was saying, but he immediately saw the picture of the cloning research institute that Huihuang had preserved before.
He felt nothing about the corpses pressing against his face in the cold storage.
Although the scene of the autopsy of the corpse almost made him tense up, as long as Chen Ming thought clearly that this was just a slap in his face, it would be over.
However, when Chen Ming saw the deformed mass of flesh and blood tissue being taken out from the clone's chest, it was still beating slightly.
Chen Ming really didn't hold back.
Not only was he shocked by this picture, but he was also affected by an inexplicable emotion that suddenly arose for no reason.
It was as if this mass of flesh and blood was a part of him.
Although this is strictly speaking, it is the product of his genetic cloning after all.
But this group of deformed flesh and blood tissue that was still moving slightly did not look like the same species as a normal human being like him, let alone any close relationship.
Chen Ming suppressed his inner emotions and asked Hui Hui: "So where is this research institute?"
"Just underground."
As soon as Huihuang's words came out, Chen Ming subconsciously wanted to lower his head and look at the floor, but he immediately reacted and restrained this action.
Brilliance obviously refers to the underground of his research institute.
Chen Ming knew before that there was something underground in the research institute, but he didn't expect that in addition to his ectoplasmic stone, there was actually a cloning laboratory underground.
This was important news to him.
Because of the feeling that the mass of flesh and blood tissue with spiritual fluctuations gave him, in addition to the instinctive aversion to such things as a human being, there was also an idea of wanting to actively contact it.
Chen Ming's feeling has saved him and helped him several times, so this time he chose to believe in this feeling.
Chen Ming's mind immediately started thinking about how to go deep underground and find this mass of flesh and blood.
At this time, Huihuang added: "However, according to G3, the above-ground research institute and the underground research institute are separate, and they need to be entered and exited from other locations."
"The specific location is here."
Splendor marked a spot on the planet's topographic map, some distance away from the institute.
Fortunately, it's not too far away, and it's not unacceptable.
But the more important point in what Huihuang said is...
"G3? It's here too?"
"Yes, while it is monitoring you, it is also controlling this cloning laboratory, and its core is underground."
A cold glint flashed in Chen Ming's eyes. He had not forgotten what G3 had done before.
Although his psychic powers allow him to control G3, G3's situation is very special.
It was impossible for Chen Ming to put it on the same level as other Yuhui individuals.
At the same time, he is not willing and is not used to letting other conscious beings that can be regarded as living beings be his slaves.
So G3 is still dead, out of sight, out of mind.
Or... Chen Ming is thinking about whether he can try it. Is there any way to erase Yu Hui's memory and personality?
Afterglow is life, not rigid machinery. These abstract things also exist in them and are stored in their core.
You should be able to try it.
These thoughts quickly flashed through Chen Ming's mind, and then he remembered everything Huihuang said, and then asked: "Is there anything else?"
"Not yet, I am currently asked to leave the Cloning Research Institute."
"And G3 is still reporting this organ and tissue that has psychic fluctuations to its superiors. The next steps must wait for orders from superiors."
"I will tell you as soon as possible if there are any special circumstances."
"Okay, continue to pay attention. If you are still free, find a way to help me investigate some information about your capital ships. I will be useful."
"Understood."
Huihuang broke off private communication with Chen Ming.
The work on the surface continued.
And one day later.
Underground in the institute, G3's ongoing investigation into psychic flesh and blood tissue has come to an end.
In its database, the report recording this mass of flesh and blood has more than ten pages more than the previous two pages.
It can be said that its research on psychic flesh and blood tissue has reached the limit of what can be achieved with the equipment within the institute.
And it has now confirmed the nature of this mass of psychically deformed flesh and blood tissue.
Judging from the performance of all aspects of the data, rather than its previous speculation, it is indeed a psychic creature, rather than part of a psyker.
However, although G3 has determined that the psychic energy of this psychic creature is a protective type of psychic energy.
But so far, the specific psychic effects of this psychic creature are still unclear, and the specific objects it can protect are not clear either.
Because protective type psychic powers want to confirm the specific effect, they must conduct dangerous tests.
This mass of deformed flesh and blood tissue had barely survived the toxic reagents and low-temperature freezing environment.
A new stimulus is likely to kill it completely.
However, at least for now, G3 has been able to confirm that the toxicity of the reagents it uses and the extreme low temperature can be confirmed as objects of psychic protection.
As long as this mass of abnormal flesh and blood tissue is re-cultured for a period of time, it will have sufficient activity and vitality.
G3 can extract samples from him and conduct acceptable and dangerous tests.
Although it will still be very difficult to get accurate results by then.
Because this mass of flesh and blood with psychic energy fluctuations only has the most basic reflex movements, which are the instinctive movements of the nervous system.
It has no self-awareness at all and cannot help with psychic testing.
But even so, G3 does not want to leave this to other individuals to study.
Once the research on such a cloned psychic individual yields results, the results will be epoch-making for their afterglow.
However, after he reported the data yesterday, it was still waiting for a reply from the top management.
The matter is ultimately not decided by it.
Moreover, because Yu Hui cannot become a psyker himself, although he has done some research on psionic powers, he is not in-depth about them, so they are very concerned about finding ways to control psionic powers.
They must take the psychic product of their first clone here very seriously.
Therefore, the senior leaders of this afterglow star field still need to contact the large forces.
Just like when I met Chen Ming, a psyker who had a profound influence on Yu Hui.
Therefore, the time required to prepare is naturally lengthened.
However, one day after G3 reported the matter, it finally received the reply it had been waiting for.
At the highest level of the Afterglow Star Territory, several Alpha-level Afterglows controlling the Kletka supercomputer directly sent orders about this group of psychic creatures.
"Reconfirm the condition of the psychic biological sample tentatively named 'Psychic Malformed Myocardial Tissue' to verify the accuracy of the data."
"Keep a copy of the recorded data of the entire cultivation process. At the same time, restore the cloning environment, repeat the cloning test, and try to replicate the process of generating the psychic creature."
"Psychic biological samples are temporarily stored and their activity needs to be ensured, waiting for subsequent units to receive them."
"This sample needs to be transported to the main star field for research."
"After completing Chen Ming's mission, the individual can apply to return to the main star field and join the research on psychic creatures."
Such a long list of commands is quite acceptable for G3.
The replica experiment is something that must be done by an individual, and it is the individual who made this psychic creature himself, so the task will definitely fall on his head.
And you will definitely not be able to avoid it when studying this psychic creature in the future.
So G3 accepted the order.
The deformed flesh and blood tissue whose vital signs had stabilized yesterday were isolated in a separate room in the cloning research institute.
At the same time, G3 also moved a cultivation cabin there, specifically to ensure its survival.
In addition, during previous research, G3 also found that this mass of flesh and blood seemed to have some instinctive behaviors, such as craving for nutrients to restore its own previously damaged tissue cells.
So G3 stored a large dose of mixed nutrient solution necessary for human survival in the culture chamber.
After all, it was transformed from a part of the organs of a cloned human, and it would also need everything that humans need. As long as the concentration is normal, there will be no problem.
After completing these tasks, G3 began to restore the process of the previous cloning experiment based on the data records and video records of the previous experiments.
Although the probability of success of the experiment itself is very low, so low that it can be ignored.
Because just because the stem cells used to cultivate clones are not the same is already an unsolvable problem.
Therefore, the re-engraving experiment G3 did not think it would be successful, but it continued normally and made two copies at the same time. Not only to complete the task, but also to have a real hope.
As for one of the experimental materials, G3 used the DNA material that Chen Ming left behind when he lived in their factory some time ago to clone stem cells, which was the default configuration.
The other one was that it extracted an extremely small amount of cells from the distorted blood and flesh tissue. After examination, it was confirmed that these cells were the same as those of the normal Chen Ming clone.
Stem cells are cloned from ordinary cells of the distorted flesh and blood tissue, and then the subsequent experimental operations are carried out.
This can also be regarded as a means to improve the success rate.
The next thing to do is not troublesome, which is to designate all the stem cells of the two experimental products to the heart organ for differentiation.
At the same time, it is also strictly controlling the cultivation environment of the clones to be the same as before.
Next, we only need to wait for abnormal conditions to appear, and this experiment will be considered a successful start.
But among the batch of clones that produced this mass of deformed flesh and blood tissue, that one clone had a heart aberration problem.
Others either developed normally or had problems elsewhere, which basically did not affect the heart.
Therefore, whether a heart malformation occurs or not can only depend on probability.
Now, each of the two ongoing experiments has a standard fifty clones as the final output.
When G3 only needs to see if it can grow a deformed heart, and does not need to completely grow the clone to maturity, it only takes a few hours to get the results.
However.
Among the first batch of one hundred clones, under the control of the stem cell directional differentiation inducer in the cloning experimental process, none of them showed any distortion when differentiating into cardiac tissue.
All have completed differentiation normally according to the scheduled process in the original plan, and can continue with the next stage of differentiation of other body tissues at any time.
In other words, all the first batch of experimental products were considered failures.
Naturally, their results can only be disposed of by all injection reagents.
Of course, this time G3 still maintains a certain degree of attention to these waste products to avoid the same situation happening again.
G3 also received a reply quickly after uploading the results of this batch of experiments.
The higher-ups asked it to conduct experiments again until all the materials stored in the institute were used up.
And additional materials will be sent later, and they will also take away the psychic flesh and blood tissue as samples at that time.
The materials themselves don’t require much time to prepare.
But it is a troublesome matter to send the sample back across the entire human empire to the main star field of Afterglow, while also ensuring the survival of the sample during the entire process.
So they still need some time to prepare.
G3 had nothing to say and continued to accept orders as usual.
In addition to continuing to maintain daily monitoring of Chen Ming, conducting cloning experiments has become what it has always needed to do.
It quickly replaced the nutrient solution and various additives in the culture chamber that had produced a lot of waste products, and started the second batch of experiments.
Soon, the result was a natural failure.
G3 didn't have any extra thoughts. Apart from taking a moment to take a look at Chen Ming, who had been holding a terminal and looking at it, G3 continued to execute the next experiment according to the order.
Until two days later.
Among the sixth batch of experimental samples, G3 finally waited for a clone.
And in his body, heart abnormality appeared again.
The total number of clones produced by G3 has exceeded at least five hundred.
In the end, only two of them, including the previous one, had cardiac aberrations, with a probability of 0.4%.
This is actually a very high probability.
But obviously this is just the probability of heart distortion, and the possibility of psychic energy is not that high.
The second individual with cardiac aberrations did not experience the same psychic fluctuations as the previous clone.
But the steps of the cloning experiment are not yet complete.
The individual before G3 was cultivated until it was close to the final stage before being abandoned.
During the cultivation process of the previous clone, it believed that this clone might still be repairable,
Therefore, when it is discovered that the heart is deformed, the first step is to repair part of it through surgery and then continue to cultivate it.
It wasn't until the clone was fully grown into a human that it was completely determined that there was no possibility of repairing the heart malformation, so he was given up.
So now, G3 needs to continue to cultivate in order to ensure the same process.
Wait, that's not right.
Just when G3 was about to continue cultivating this deformed individual individually, it suddenly noticed that the psychic wave detector next to it jumped.
The instrument detected psychic fluctuations.
And it's not the mass of distorted flesh and blood tissue placed elsewhere.
The psychic energy fluctuations are emitted from the slightly deformed heart in the training cabin that has just completed the cultivation stage.
As an afterglow, G3 also felt a surge of excitement for the first time in a long time.
It immediately recorded the data of the cultivation process and prepared to report to superiors.
However, suddenly another wave of psychic energy came out from another clone, and it also came from the heart.
The other clone's culture chamber monitoring equipment immediately displayed the scanned data.
This body had been cultivated before and had already entered the final stage of cultivation. It was originally intended to be used as a candidate clone for Chen Ming's Qiling Nerve transplantation.
His originally intact heart suddenly developed a strange deformity.
Just as deformed as that mass of distorted flesh and blood tissue.
Immediately afterwards, the third psychic wave appeared, and this happened in another training cabin.
Then the fourth, fifth, sixth...
The hearts of more than a dozen clones all appeared to be malformed. It was clear that just a few seconds ago, their hearts were very healthy and intact.
G3 felt the danger in this strange situation.
It immediately interrupted the power supply of the life-support systems of all culture chambers, injected a large amount of toxic reagents into the interior of all chambers, and at the same time sent reporting information to the outside world.
However, the power outage was of no use to the "things" that had been formed, and the toxic reagent did not have the effect it should have.
Those deformed hearts were not affected at all.
And there seems to be some kind of resonance between the more frequent and denser spiritual energy fluctuations they emit.
The fluctuations in psychic energy became more and more violent. The external communication device of the Clone Research Institute was seriously interfered by the fluctuations in psychic energy, and G3's information could not be sent out at all.
It can only deal with this problem personally.
But in just ten seconds.
The hearts of these twisted and deformed clones seem to be due to sharing the same genes from Chen Ming, as well as being under the influence of psychic fluctuations that are now resonating.
Their own heartbeat frequencies are also beginning to converge, starting from chaotic rates that vary in frequency to becoming unified.
It was as if a dozen, no, dozens of hearts grew out of the cloning research institute, and their blood vessels were suddenly connected together.
Flesh and blood tissue intertwined with veins and arteries, forming a huge, malformed heart.
This scene has a weird feeling that G3 can't describe.
This was the first time in its life that it felt such an emotion.
And worse.
An unknown failure suddenly occurred in the institute's power system, and the entire institute's lighting system was completely paralyzed.
The heavy heartbeat and the psychic energy fluctuations caused by the heartbeat echoed in the dark laboratory.
Only the independent security line is still running, allowing G3 to see everything in the institute through surveillance.
At this moment, G3 heard the sound of the glass of the culture cabin being hit.
The first deformed heart in the subsequent cloning experiment it conducted had already started to move on its own, violently and continuously hitting the culture chamber.
Its heart muscle tissue was damaged due to the impact, and a large amount of blood gradually dyed the liquid in the entire culture chamber red.
Even if the monitoring system has night vision and thermal imaging effects, it is difficult to clearly see the situation in the culture cabin.
One could only vaguely see a twisted mass of monster trying to break free from its cage.
But fortunately, the strength of the culture chamber is very high, and what the newly cultivated aberrant heart does seems to be in vain.
But then, the sound of flesh being torn to pieces reached G3.
The chest of another clone whose heart was affected and became deformed was torn open, with flesh and ribs protruding out.
A group of twisted "psionic creatures" emerged from it, which was exactly the same as the psychically distorted flesh and blood tissue that was first discovered.
It has a more powerful cellular tissue structure than the deformed heart that has just differentiated.
Just one impact that spilled a large amount of blood left conspicuous cracks on the culture chamber.
G3 immediately activated the security system in the institute.
A large number of weapons instantly appeared on several robots that were still undergoing cultivation work, and several fixed turrets were also dug out of different walls inside the institute.
Start cleaning the inside of the culture chamber directly.
Lasers, flames, bullets and flesh splashed across the vast, dark cloning laboratory.
These newly born distorted flesh and blood tissues are still very fragile. Even as psychic creatures, they themselves cannot withstand the firepower coming from all directions.
But if you look carefully, you will find that some of the splashed flesh and blood are still moving.
They moved and seeped into the cracks in the isolation doors between different rooms in the institute.
It is very tempting to completely block the direction of the room where G3 abandoned the abandoned clones, as well as the direction of the distorted flesh and blood tissue at the beginning.
G3 had no time to stop all the scattered flesh and blood.
In the freezer, signs of life activity began to appear on a large number of dead bodies.
There are even some clones that have died long ago and have been frozen for an unknown period of time, and the same situation as the clones in the culture chamber outside appears.
There was a bloody hole in the corpse's chest, and the heart inside was missing.
Only by looking at the blood stains on the vents in the corners of the cold room could one guess where they had gone.
G3 lost control of the institute almost instantly.
This is true even if there are a large number of armed robots.
Because at this time, the hearts of all the clones in the entire culture room have broken through the body that should have them.
In a corner of the cultivation room that the robot cannot reach.
The muscle tissue of the torn apart deformed heart began to assemble, and granulation adhered between the fragments.
A huge piece of meat that had no discernible shape. No, it couldn't be said that it had no discernible shape.
Because as long as you look down from above, you can see a huge deformed heart growing on the floor of the institute.
What G3 felt just now has become a reality.
The huge deformed heart suddenly started beating again, and at the moment it beat, violent psychic energy fluctuations swept across the entire institute.
All the moving robots were shut down, wrapped in, infiltrated, and shut down by the distorted flesh and blood tissue they were gathering together.
The institute was completely destroyed.
And inside the room where G3's Alpha-level core is installed, which is the most heavily guarded in the entire institute.
I don’t know when it started, but some blood gradually seeped into the originally smooth ceiling.
Blood dripped on the Silent Alloy Box that stored the Lie Stone and Whispering Stone in the room.
Then a ball of flesh and blood fell from the ceiling.
There was a snap.
With the sound of blood splashing, the box was swallowed up by the wriggling flesh and blood.
The next moment, a drop of blood fell on the core of G3.
