Chapter 124: Domesticating an Alien Life
The expert continued: "We have tried to educate this colorful bubble. For example, watching baby videos, animal videos, etc., it has no response."
Zhang Ran looked at these educational materials, the baby's laughter, a group of pigs fighting for the right to drink grandma, monkeys combing each other's hair, a group of elephants lying on the ground, dolphins swimming in the ocean, etc... All kinds of videos are quite comprehensive.
"It's a pity that it has no response to these things. There is no possibility of domestication."
"The important thing about the formation of wisdom is social interaction. Without social interaction, life only has some innate genetic instincts. It is the interaction with reality that allows us to produce a high degree of wisdom."
"For animals, this rule is likely to be followed."
"We humans have had examples of wolf children. When a child lives with a wolf since childhood, he mistakenly thinks he is a wolf. If a duck is raised by a chicken, it will feel like a chicken."
"The various reactions of this unknown living body are indeed strange. It may have the potential to give birth to wisdom, but due to the lack of society, it has failed to form wisdom."
"In this way, we can actually let the psychics...taste them!"
That's right, it's domestication!
Taming an alien life!
Soon another expert raised an objection: "But what if its wisdom is innate? Just like a computer program, what about a complete set of software? Our domestication may not necessarily succeed."
"Since it may be artificial life, it does not necessarily follow our theories. No matter what social intelligence is produced, it is necessary to be accurate."
"No, no, we actually suspect that this unknown life is not necessarily the cub of the Void Amoeba. Because the two look completely different, and the composition of the body is slightly different."
This time the disagreement is even greater. After all, no one knows what the real fact is.
The main person in charge, Professor Scott, thought for a while, directly issued a military order: "Your Highness, it is the responsibility and obligation of us scientists to find further development opportunities. We cannot give up such a good opportunity."
"If it really doesn't work, just place a hydrogen bomb in the laboratory. Our Dongfang Panshi still has many empty areas. We will directly relocate our laboratory to the edge. Reinforce it with steel and install hydrogen bombs."
"Once I find that alien life is out of control, I will personally detonate the hydrogen bomb. Including if the military finds that the laboratory is out of control, it can also detonate the hydrogen bomb."
"You don't have to worry about my determination. There are really unpredictable risks. I will definitely detonate the hydrogen bomb! Of course, we need to borrow one or two psychics, otherwise there is no possibility of successful domestication."
"It ignores us ordinary people at all."
Zhang Ran touched his temples. Professor Scott's plan sounded outrageous!
Install hydrogen bombs in the laboratory...
But then again, what if it can be really tamed?!
Domesticized into a type close to humans?
That's a big deal!
If this guy is a Void Amoeba, its ability to collect matter is not a big deal. It is many times faster than that of humans who collect resources themselves!
A standard excavator can dig one or two thousand tons of mines a day, which is already very fast. It takes 100,000 days to dig a 100 million tons of mines!
And the adult Void Amoeba will only take a few seconds to deal with 100 million tons of minerals!
This is the gap, the earth-shaking gap.
What's more, it will reproduce itself. If one breeds, it will tame one. For less than a hundred years, humans will have a fleet of "Void Amoeba" fleets and truly soar in the universe.
Even if you encounter a strong enemy, you will feel very safe with such a fleet.
Just call and crush it!
That is the real interstellar civilization.
Of course, this is the premise that it is indeed a Void Amoeba...
If not, it is actually nothing. No matter what, it is still a silicon-based life body that can navigate curvature.
"What's this... a nomadic nation?" Zhang Ran was also shocked by the imagination of these people for a while, and had to admit that this idea was very tempting.
Even with some risks.
He thought for a while, then looked at Zero next to him.
She doesn't seem to have any objections.
"Okay, even the Milky Way will explode for no reason. There is no completely risk-free thing in the world. Mr. Scott, since you have made a military order, you will be responsible for the security issues."
"Major Guo Weiqiang is responsible for the installation of the hydrogen bomb... We must examine its threat to humanity. If you want to transfer to the post, I can agree to adjust the post. This is a voluntary research work, and we will not force it."
As soon as Zhang Ran said this, the atmosphere in the conference room was relaxed and a little nervous.
No one wants their laboratory to be placed with a hydrogen bomb that may explode at any time... The feeling of uneasiness is too great, and some people may not be able to study it. It is difficult for such people to blame them.
...
Engineers entered the site and installed nuclear bombs in the laboratory...the equivalent was not too large, but it was more than enough to destroy alien life forms.
"Professor, this thing has many safety insurances. Don't touch it normally... Alas, you don't need to issue this military order." Engineer Lu Qiming sighed and said, "Your Highness is a very easy-to-discuss person, as long as you explain it clearly to him."
Professor Scott shook his head next to him: "It's nothing, it's for the safety of all mankind. Even I am not sure whether it has safety risks. I don't rule out the placement of an additional insurance."
He clenched his fists hard, not regretting this choice.
...
Once upon a time, Scott's personality was completely different from now on.
He had already achieved success at the age of 23. He had a doctorate in biology and materials science. He published six articles in nature in two fields. He became famous for a while and was already a well-known university professor at the age of 26.
The bionic heart he invented brought great fame and economic benefits.
That is the bionic heart, which has brought good news to countless heart patients and extended their survival time.
When I was young and frivolous, I always had a domineering meaning, gaining both fame and fortune, and being indulged in luxury. The patent income alone was over 100 million yuan every year!
It seemed as if the whole world was revolving around him. Scott could get whatever he wanted, and unknowingly, he became selfish and ostentatious.
The most obscure way of killing people in the world is to praise and kill. He is surrounded by all kinds of flattering people, but fewer and fewer people do practical things and are increasingly distant from them.
So what? Just a bionic heart is enough to lie on the credit book and eat your life!
However, the disaster suddenly happened...
The sun is extinguished, the world is entering a cold winter, and the world is in chaos...
A very obedient subordinate once turned into a thug, picked up the sharp knife and smiled grimly...
"Scott, I have been disliked by you for a long time! Aren't you just a little luck, a little earlier than me? Why do you belong to you?"
"Why do I have to please you every day? Why?!"
His whole body trembled and saw the war between people...
One of them, who is not very popular, has a straightforward personality and is not very capable, rescued them and was stabbed to death by the thugs...
He heard the words that shocked his soul...
"Professor, you should be alive... My mother also used bionic hearts, although it was a bit expensive, and used up all our property..."
"But you saved my mother's life and allowed her to live for two more years... This is a contribution to mankind."
"Professor, you should be alive... There is still a refuge in the distance, don't be upset... You should be alive!"
Scott was stunned at that time. When he invented the bionic heart, he did have that high ambition... to make more contributions to all mankind!
But later, it was just for more reputation and money.
The price is indeed very expensive, 100,000... USD! It is so expensive that many people can't afford it.
A life of luxury has lost his eyes and his soul.
He never thought that in a crisis, some people wanted to kill themselves, and some people wanted to save themselves.
From then on, Scott changed, becoming taciturn and devoted himself to his work, reputation and money no longer mattered to him.
He began to train more students, whether it was a thorn, social terror, or other personalities, he didn't care. Only flattering students would be ruthlessly eliminated by him.
Who should be alive?
...
It took nearly a day to install the hydrogen bomb.
A hydrogen bomb with a capacity of one million tons is considered small, but it is more than enough to destroy the entire laboratory, giving people the illusion of being frightened.
It is connected through wired mode. If the wired connection is disconnected, the hydrogen bomb will explode directly.
In addition, Professor Scott and the military have the authority to detonate bombs.
After completing all this, Zhang Ran said solemnly to Ling: "The arduous task of taming alien life is left to you. In terms of individual combat capabilities, you are the strongest man in humans. And it seems to be closer to you, so you should be its temporary mother."
Zero was actually a little unwilling to do so, and there was a slight resentment on her face... She had a little social phobia.
"If it does have low malice against humans, then you are responsible for the raising and education of this alien life."
Seeing that Ling was a little depressed, Zhang Ran knew that her social phobia had occurred and added: "If you really can't be busy, you can also ask Sakurai to come and help."
