It was another round of traditional physical training. Ren Zhong, dripping with sweat, jumped off the training platform, turned around and walked quickly to the bathroom, and then jumped into the cryogenic recovery chamber. Millions of slender bionic silk threads spread from the lower console of the cryogenic chamber.
came out and wrapped his whole body to form a mesh garment. More nano-scale slender tubes stretched out from the bionic silk threads, piercing the surface of Ren Zhong's skin in a painless way, and began to respire in accordance with the breathing rules of human cells.
Slowly inject recovery fluid into Ren Zhong's body surface at a certain frequency.
This is the latest scientific research result of the Chifeng Academy of Science, which can effectively speed up the recovery speed of soldiers after completing high-intensity training. Of course, the most intensive training tasks will be enjoyed first.
At the same time, the cold touch released by the dry ice was constantly stimulating the blood circulation in Ren Zhong's body, making him shiver with relief.
He was planning to take advantage of this time to read through the latest administrative briefing, when Sun Ai's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
Recently, Sun Ai seems to be obsessed with changing her voice. She only heard a very charming Yujie voice saying: "Uncle, I have bad news and good news to tell you. Do you want to hear the good news or the bad news first?"
Ren Zhong felt a little powerless to complain, and sighed, "Hear the bad news first."
He had told Sun Ai before that he asked her not to talk while he was taking a shower or soaking in a low-temperature chamber after training, as this would make him feel embarrassed. Sun Ai promised quickly, but she always went her own way and never promised.
It doesn't count. Even if Ren Zhong pretends to be angry, it won't work.
She can always find excuses, such as saying that she is so pitiful now that she doesn't even have a body, that is, it is just a process, and only by doing something deviant can she still remember that she is still a human being.
Ren Zhong didn't know whether what she said was true or false, and he couldn't judge the matter, so he could only believe it.
"The bad news is that my previous plan to have the Academy of Military Science and Technology set up an expert group to develop new individual combat equipment for you was completely ruined. It was all in vain."
Ren Zhong frowned, "What's going on? Was there some laboratory accident?"
He cares about this matter very much. In recent years, he has used the earl's authority to study a large number of actual combat cases between the Machinery Empire and its three enemies. He is very fascinated by the planet-level individual soldiers of the Ascendants, Pilgrims and Psychic Demons.
These powerful individuals who can make quick decisions on the battlefield can often perform miraculous effects in the battle formation, and can even reverse the situation of the battle and defeat the weak against the strong.
As a result, Ren Zhong asked Sun Ai to monitor his various parameters at any time, and then simultaneously formed a team, with three of the ten disciples of the Qian family as the core personnel, and with the remote assistance of the Academy of Source Star Science, he tried to develop a newer version for himself alone.
The ultimate personal equipment.
The research and development direction he proposed is not limited to battle armor. It can be a single-person battleship or a single-person giant structure. Anyway, as long as he can control all the functional modules on the entire war machine by himself, and can cause substantial damage to the armed battleship.
Just threaten.
The project went very smoothly at the beginning, and the project team soon came up with a prototype of a deformable equipment with a length of ten kilometers.
Ren Zhong was also looking forward to results, but now Sun Ai told him that he was in trouble.
Sun Ai chuckled and said: "There are no accidents in the laboratory. It's just that the researchers found that every time they were about to complete a design, the updated data I gave them would always cause them to have to overturn themselves repeatedly. You
The carrying power, brain response index, and physical potential index are constantly rising. What you want is the ultimate, but your limit is always rising. The R&D personnel are very distressed because their designs are always outdated. Until now,
They have produced dozens of versions of miniature prototypes, but none have made it to the verification process."
After listening to it, Ren Zhong was quite speechless. He didn't expect that his improvement would soon turn into a shortcoming.
Sun Ai added: "The only advantage is that the Military Industry Institute has accumulated a lot of research and development experience through this project. Now the mass-produced equipment of other super-level professionals is about to enter the final verification stage. Within two years at the latest, we will be able to
Provide comprehensive equipment changes for all different types of super-level professionals. This equipment change will increase the comprehensive combat power of the Special Operations Legion by more than 50%. After my conversion evaluation, the theoretical and actual combat capabilities of the Chifeng Special Operations Legion are in the South
It already belongs to the first echelon in the Xiangxing Cluster."
Ren Zhong asked: "Is this the good news you said?"
"Of course not, this is just a by-product of the bad news. The real good news is that I finally solved part of the mystery of your genes."
"Oh? The mystery of my genes?" Ren Zhong suddenly became interested.
"Uncle, your energy is relatively scattered right now, which makes you probably the most knowledgeable researcher in the entire Chifeng tribe. But basically in every subdivided field, there are people who have done more profound research than you, right?"
Ren nodded: "Of course. This is really what I hope for."
Sun Ai: "But I think that if you can put down all the chores and choose a professional field that interests you most, you will still have a chance to reach the top of the Chifeng tribe's science pyramid, and even have a chance to reach the top of the Imperial Academy of Sciences.
Selection criteria. You have top-level intelligence and top-level creativity. This is the ultimate characteristic of humans in the Mechanical Empire, and it is also the form of perfect talent that the imperial family most desires."
Faced with Sun Ai's compliments that had no "bottom line", Ren Zhong was not polite and humble. Because he knew very well that he could indeed do it. But now that he has become a leader of civilization, he has to make a choice.
"Then, here comes the key question I want to talk about. I told your uncle a long time ago that I was developing telomere directional extension and controllable infinite splitting technology. Do you still remember?"
Ren Zhong hummed, "Of course I remember, but haven't the results of the first phase been applied to me? Now my theoretical life span of 192 years comes from your project."
Sun Ai chuckled, "You also know that is only a first-stage result. The real good news I give you today is that I have advanced these two technologies to the next level, and it is likely to be the ultimate level. I took advantage of it.
My father's research and development results have digested some subtle changes that happened when my father was making my body, which neither he nor you were aware of. Now, I am making an instrument. When the instrument is completed, it can be placed in a state of cryogenic slumber.
Modify and recombine the genes of each of your body cells, and burn the adjusted infinite telomere genes of your cancer cells into each of your cells. That is your own gene, so there will be no immune rejection.
.If it succeeds, uncle, you can gain the ability to live forever. But if it fails..."
After talking about it, Sun Ai became a little hesitant to speak.
"Just tell me what will happen if you fail."
"You will die physically. The only chance of survival is to freeze your body permanently, uncle, and then transfer your mind to the virtual space like me. Your mind has such potential, because there are already ready-made components in the quantum entanglement spiral of your mind.
Data channel.”
Hearing this, Ren Zhong pondered for a moment and sighed: "This is a difficult multiple-choice question."
"Yes. But risks and benefits coexist." Sun Ai also sighed, "So you have to make your own decision on this matter. I can only provide you with information. In addition to immortality, new genes will also
Completely change your carbon-based life characteristics, uncle, and allow your physique to undergo further transformation. The expression of this transformation will be somewhat similar to that of sublimation, which can change your muscles, bones, tendons, blood vessels, internal organs, brain, etc.
The organs and the cells that make up these organs have strengths that far exceed the theoretical upper limit of carbon-based life. But you are different from the sublimated ones. The genetic mutations of the sublimated ones are always on the surface, while your transformation involves the depth of information flow."
"At that time, your appearance will not change much. Your body is still composed of hydrocarbons, but your 'carbon' will be completely different from other people's 'carbon'. In short, you
The reproductive isolation from ordinary humans will be increased by at least 100 million times on the current basis. It is still possible for you to leave offspring now, but it is absolutely impossible for you after the transformation."
"I understand." Ren Zhong pondered for a moment and then asked: "What is the chance that the transformation will fail?"
"Let's open it fifty-fifty."
"Fifty percent? I understand, let me think about it first."
After finishing speaking, just as the arduous hypothermia recovery was over, he walked out of the cryogenic chamber, put on his coat, sat on a chair, and took out his notebook.
The notebook he filled with numbers had been destroyed by him personally, and the numbers on it stayed at 7740 forever.
He changed to a new notebook.
He began to analyze the pros and cons one by one in handwriting in his new notebook.
Disadvantages:
First, there is a 50% failure rate. After failure, you can only live in the virtual world and become the real behind-the-scenes person.
Second, even if he succeeds, he must accept his fate from now on. There will be no Ren family to inherit his dream, and he will have to solve all problems completely on his own.
Advantages:
First, by obtaining a life that is close to permanent as long as there is no accidental death, you will not have to worry about lifespan, and can use your unlimited life and time to promote your career. This will not only give you, the count, a new and huge advantage over other competitors.
, and it can also solve the shortcomings of no future that have occurred so far.
Second, a physique that exceeds the upper limit of carbon-based life can make him the first planet-level or even star-level individual warrior in the history of the Mechanical Empire. This will not only quickly enhance his status within the Mechanical Empire, but also
It allows the Chifeng tribe to gain top-notch combat power that no one else has.
Ren Zhong thought about it again and realized that he already possesses the top qualities of human beings in the Mechanical Empire. After transformation, he can have an ultra-long lifespan and a super-strong body similar to those of sublimates. The complete uploading of consciousness and the data channel in the brain also give him certain abilities.
The characteristics of a pilgrim to a certain degree, as for the ability to predict by communicating with the information flow of the universe, is actually one of the ultimate abilities that high-level psychic demons dream of.
In other words, by taking this gamble, you have the opportunity to let yourself, a primitive human from the 21st century, get all the advantages of the four human branches at the same time.
Faced with such an important decision, he actually only thought about it for fifteen minutes and already tried to use precognition to peek into the future.
After a long time, he said slowly: "It's done."
He made his choice.
After he made his decision, Sun Ai immediately began to complete the final preparations, mainly to make various plans to ensure the success rate of the transformation as much as possible and to prepare for the situation after failure.
This will still take some time, but it will just give Ren Zhong the opportunity to make some final struggles on leaving descendants.
In the blink of an eye, another two months have passed, and Ren Zhong has stockpiled a large number of genetic material carriers, amounting to tens of billions.
Don't ask him how he did it, it's a state secret.
During this period, Zheng Tian completed a fatal blow to the Golden Dog main battle fleet, and quickly swept away a large number of small and medium-sized forces' bases with lightning speed.
Now the expedition fleet is entering a period of silence again, heading straight for the Golden Dog's station, and will arrive in three years' time.
At this time, the expedition fleet became slightly smaller, with only 800 armed warships.
It was not that the expedition fleet suffered losses, but that Zheng Tian chose to divide his forces.
For those captured pirate bases, Zheng Tian did not kill them all, and did not even plunder the resources. She only left a small number of warships to control the security after taking control, and then let the remaining soldiers set up a teaching group to provide pirates and civilians at the bottom.
Show personal experience, explain ideas, and spread knowledge.
According to Zheng Tian's request, the teaching group will do no harm to civilians everywhere. They will not take a needle or a thread, plunder the population, or plunder resources. Instead, they will respond to requests and quickly improve the local people's livelihood and economy as their top priority.
According to Zheng Tian's plan, when the expedition fleet begins to attack the base planet of the Golden Dog, the expedition warship stationed at the pirate station will wave its sleeves and float away without taking away a trace of cloud.
The only things left behind by the Red Front Expeditionary Fleet Teaching Group in many low-level pirate bases are the names of the unknown expeditionary force and the impact of their actions.
The low-level pirate civilians will see an army that is different from ordinary pirates, and will feel for the first time that even a powerful army will treat themselves as human beings, not livestock and tools.
This wonderful understanding is the seed that the expedition fleet will leave behind.
After the expedition training group leaves and other pirate forces move in again, the bottom pirates will immediately feel the difference.
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
The low-level pirates will discover that the truth of life that was once easily tolerated is actually so abominable.
They will try to resist.
At one time, they had no hope of succeeding in their resistance.
But now, the knowledge, resources, and productivity left by the teaching group will become weapons that the lower-level pirates and civilians can rely on, giving them a chance to resist.
Perhaps only a few of the dozens of fire seeds left by dozens of teaching groups can take root and sprout, but this is enough.
At the same time, those low-level pirate civilians who have been with the expeditionary force teaching group for several years will also reveal the movements of this army.
The pirate forces in Shattered Star Ring will know that a Big Mac is coming.
This giant is invisible, intangible, and impossible to keep up with, but it is extremely powerful.
The name of this mysterious army will be spread throughout the Nanxiang Star Cluster.
Everyone will know that there is a powerful invisible army that is very active.
Then one day in the future, when the expeditionary force suddenly reveals its true identity, the effect of any important living advertisement for stealth technology will explode instantly.
