The final words of Ezuka's words were still trembling slightly, but the words that could be spoken were still clearly expressed.
The most important thing is the content of her words, which is truly unexpected.
Ronan didn't expect such a request at all.
He subconsciously looked at the "veteran", who had just arranged production tasks for the factory. When he saw Mr. Mo's gaze, what else could he do besides smile bitterly?
This is interesting.
It is said that since Ronan publicly summoned the Rotten Mouth Ape, this is the first person to come to ask for help - you know, this is a key target linked to the "New Plane", and I don't know how many people are crying and beating it.
However, he was frightened by the power displayed by Mr. Mo and the fact that the summoned object itself came and went without a trace, so he could only stare from the sidelines.
What kind of person was Ezuka, who came to the door like this?
Ronan felt a little ridiculous, so he laughed, and then asked her: "Director Jiang, is your request personal or official?"
"Private." Ezuka blurted out.
"Oh, that's right." Ronan said noncommittally.
Ronan knew about the conversation between Snake Language and Ezuka, and the former's actions were carried out with his tacit approval. However, this lady's position was still too vague, just like the appearance and temperament she showed, there was no difference between them.
There is a layer of looming mist, just like Ronan himself covered with a veil of silence.
Ronan decided to start with the most basic question: "Director Jiang, have you met Yuan
, it looks large in size, but it is an energy-based existence. Where do we start talking about the so-called tissue sample?"
Without being kicked out by Mr. Mo on the spot, Ezuka felt that she had passed a level, and the tension in her heart eased slightly. She adjusted her breathing slightly to make her voice clearer:
"Mr. Mo, it's like this... I observed at that time that the rotten-mouthed ape has the stability of the overall structure at the material level. And I have mastered a technology that can cut out a basic unit from the bottom of the structure without damaging the whole.
Under certain circumstances, the basic structural properties should be retained and maintained for a certain period of time to meet the needs of research."
Ronan was surprised: "Were you thinking about it at that time?"
Ezuka was a little embarrassed and lowered his head: "I have thought about it a bit... after all, it is related to my research."
Ronan thought about it in his mind. He didn't quite understand what Ezuka meant by "technology", and he didn't know the specific content of her research. He just felt that it didn't seem to be in the field of genome engineering.
.
"Are you studying rotten-mouthed apes, or similar mutants? Well, it's hard to say whether this thing is a mutant or not."
According to his understanding of Rotten Mouth Ape, this purely energy-based structure is more like an idealized collection of configurations. If he wanted to do it, he would start with configuration thinking, from top to bottom, or from bottom to top.
Only by dismantling it step by step can we retain the meaningful parts.
Obviously this isn't easy.
From top to bottom, it is like decomposing the prime factors of a large number with bare hands. The principle seems easy to understand at first glance, but when the volume and complexity of the values exceed the threshold, the human brain will explode;
If you go from bottom to top, you are likely to get lost in the maze of basic configurations, spending your brain time and energy, only to find that you have gone around in a circle and come back to the starting point.
In what way did Ezuka conduct research?
However, Ezuka denied this aspect: "Ah, no, I am not studying any type of abnormality, but there is a need to collect diverse samples."
Ronan was curious: "What is the specific direction?"
Ezuka responded without hesitation: "Distributed aberration gene network ecology."
"Aha?"
"It is an ecological network design based on genetic diversity. We hope to use large-scale aberrant genes as the basic level to inspire new and higher levels based on their full connection, cooperation, learning, and competition...
In the form of extraordinary power."
Ronan frowned: "It sounds a bit like an artificial neural network."
"In fact, they all adopt mathematical models of sparse distributed networks, but they will be different in application."
The academic discussion ends here. Ronan has no intention of getting too involved in unfamiliar fields, otherwise he may make a joke. He captured another key word: "You said 'we', this is not like a personal request - the Matsudaira Research Institute is still there
Is it working? I remember that they have been selling assets over there. I feel that the limelight has passed, and they have started to backfill again? "
Seeing that Ronan was doubtful and Ezuka was a little nervous, she said, "I don't know much about the operation of the Osawa Religion. I am asking for tissue samples for further research!"
"Of course it has nothing to do with the Osawa Cult. As far as I know, the research institute you are working at is privately invested by Matsudaira Yoshio."
"This research project is...that I brought with me."
Ezuka's rebuttal burst out, but there was a bump in the middle, which somewhat dispelled her emotions. Then her voice became a little weaker, but it was still much "harder" than before:
"I have signed an agreement with the institute. What they have obtained is only the patent related to the field of 'orientation induction' in this project. The rest is still with me."
"That should be the most valuable part."
"Research results often distance themselves from what they should be."
Next to her, the "veteran" coughed repeatedly, and Ezuka finally realized that she was overcome with emotion, her face turned pale, and she tried to apologize, but she didn't know what to say at the moment.
Over there, Ronan saw that Ezuka was so nervous that his fists were clenched, but he still managed to keep his body movements from falling apart. The key was to see the "veteran" smiling face beside him and looking eagerly at him. His heart softened.
Then he softened his sentence:
"Forget it, I'm not interested in how you signed the agreement. It would be interesting if it was the contracting party behind you."
Issuing party?
Ezuka was still so nervous that he was a little slow.
The "veteran" softened her cheek again: "Mr. Mo, do you mean lcrf?"
Ezuka immediately realized that indeed, with the level of strength displayed by Mr. Mo, the size of the Osawa Cult was indeed not within the scope of his concern.
Those who can be linked to him must be those at a higher level.
For example, behind Yoshio Matsudaira Private Research Institute, there is a larger investment institution, LCRF, which is the Life Cycle Research Fund.
Ronan took the topic off topic.
The "veteran" was naturally willing to cooperate, and he deliberately used chat to lighten the atmosphere: "If you ask me, lcrf has no interest in Ezuka's research. The uncertainty is too strong, and it is a long-lasting project. From the beginning,
It has been more than 20 years since I started. It’s not that there have been no results, but I haven’t seen anyone who can extend my life. If those guys who are older and frailer than me really count on this, I’m afraid some of them will be waiting to die.
, the remaining ones can’t wait even more.”
As he said this, the "veteran" laughed.
Ronan also laughed.
What the veterans said is the most superior mockery of those with a sense of superiority towards those "previous generations" who control powerful capital and power, but failed to inspire extraordinary power, so that they knelt down and cried in front of illness and death.
:
He added: "From Wilderness Laboratory to Quantum Company, they are all doing whatever they want... They are so hungry that they are going crazy."
Ronan added in his mind: From Bancheng Pingmao District to the Deep Blue World.
Since the era of distortion, especially after the emergence of powerful beings such as superhumans and superhuman beings, which can be called myths, those in power who have not caught up with the train have gone crazy with jealousy, and on the other hand have found the hope of continuing life and vitality.
.
Under the provocation of hope, a considerable part of this group of people lost their composure, acted more radically, and were desperate. lcrf is one of their batons for using the power of capital, and it has become more and more sophisticated in recent years.
At the same time, Ronan discovered some emotional trigger points from the "veteran's" verbal expressions.
"Master Shou has had any dealings with lcrf?"
"Me? How am I qualified? I just saw some things, and it was all a long time ago."
"Before... it was when we were in the wilderness. Unfortunately, it didn't look like friendship."
When Ronan said this unintentionally, Ronan suddenly felt startled and felt a little familiar. When he saw Jiang Zhong opposite, he remembered that this was somewhat similar to what Snake Language said to him a few minutes ago.
The trigger point is "friendship", but the key words are time expressions such as "before".
Ronan narrowed his eyes and paid attention secretly, but did not dig deeper in this field. He made a summary in an understatement:
“The claws of capital are indeed far-reaching.”
The "veteran" smiled. Apparently Mr. Mo had forgotten that the Blood Flame Order he controlled and the Castle Consortium, which was more famous in the secular world, were also famous capital forces.
From this point of view, Mr. Mo did not put his position on the side of capital, which is consistent with his consistent performance and makes the "veteran" feel more close to him.
Just as he was about to strike while the iron was hot and help Ezuka, Mr. Mo shook his head:
"Frankly speaking, it has nothing to do with me as to what project Director Jiang is researching, but if it involves a bad-mouthed ape... it would be too sensitive at this moment."
The "veteran" has automatically entered the role of lobbyist and humbly asked: "What do you mean?"
"I don't know how much you know about this kind of thing. The current public situation is that the Rotten Mouth Ape is involved in the secrets of the 'New Plane'. If its 'tissue sample' can really be disassembled and circulated...
"
Ronan raised his hand and stopped Ezuka from swearing:
"I mean, even if only the news spreads, God knows what those guys who stare at the 'new dimension' every day until their eyes turn green will have plans."
Ronan turned his attention to Ezuka: "Think about it, if you get this tissue sample, maybe you just stepped off the yacht, and that Yoshi Goto, oh, without him, there could also be Satoshi Maeto, Jin Sato and so on.
Yes, I’ll put you in the car again and take you directly to Amaterasu Shrine.”
He was joking, but neither Ezuka nor the "veteran" could laugh.
Looking at their expressions, Ronan sighed.
From another perspective, Ronan really wanted to know whether the scientific research institutions on the earth could use the research on the rotten-mouthed ape to discover deeper secrets that even he himself could not touch.
Yes, he already knows that the cloud world is the product of the interaction between the "maze maze" and the earth's local time and space. Even the "virtual plane" he will create in the future will also want to borrow this basic logic in order to quickly take shape.
However, in the basically clear architecture of the cloud world, why strange species like rotten-mouthed apes appear is still an unsolved mystery.
If he had a trustworthy research team, he would have probably given it away.
Well, President Ouyang's side is actually pretty good, but as he said before, in this sensitive period, if the news comes out, we don't know how much of a commotion it will cause.
Thinking of this, Ronan's mind moved slightly and another thought came to his mind.
It seems that there is nothing wrong with causing a stir!
This thought makes me a little uncontrollable, but now is not a good time to think about it carefully.
Ronan withdrew his attention and faced the "veteran" Hezuka again, becoming more and more friendly: "I discovered this kind of thing by accident. It is also good to be able to study and discover its deep secrets... However,
Obviously not now."
Ezuka was already confused by Ronan's hot and cold attitude. He even doubted whether his request was correct. Hearing this, he looked over in a daze.
Ronan no longer beat around the bush with her: "Let's postpone it for a few days. In the commodity society, time nodes and sequence are most suitable for marking prices. One step earlier or one step later will make a big difference... You don't seem to be in a hurry.
Are you ready to get started now?"
"Uh, yes, this is part of the collection, used for high-level comparison groups..."
When Jiangzuka said this, he suddenly understood that Mr. Mo had agreed!
Whether it's because of the face of being a "veteran" or some kind of delaying strategy, for a strong man with Mr. Mo's status, it is definitely better to make a promise than not to say anything. Even if he can't take it back today, it is still comforting.
Her face glowed with joy, she stood up from the table and bowed deeply to thank her. But before she could say her words of thanks, she heard Mr. Mo ask again:
"What is your segmentation tool...ha, sorry, I meant the collection tool."
Ronan obviously used the slicer to his head. He really wanted to use the slicer to "cut" it to see what the result would be.
It's a pity that he doesn't have advanced artificial intelligence like "Aunt Kui" here, nor does he have the huge database accumulated by the Tianyuan Empire, so it's quite difficult to compare...
He was thinking about it here, but Ezuka answered without hesitation: "It's an extraordinary power I possess, called dissociation."
"Oh?" Ronan was a little surprised. It should be said that Ezuka really didn't have any flavor of an ability user - even if he could sense some characteristics, it was easy to forget or ignore them.
Ezuka didn't mean to be self-conscious at all, and explained seriously: "My ability is mainly used to peel off the basic units in complex systems that respond to external environmental stimuli, but it will be limited by the complexity and accuracy of the system and units."
"Can you demonstrate it?"
"Of course." Ezuka agreed immediately.
Since you want to experiment, of course you must have a goal. Well, what should you use?
Ronan's eyes glanced at Snake Whisper, and then quickly moved away - this person has been unlucky enough in recent days, and he was in front of others, so it would be better to save her some face.
He himself is not suitable, the "veteran" is a guest... we can't really bring out Yuan x.
After thinking about it for a few times, Ronan made up his mind and snapped his fingers: "It's this little thing...I'm sorry."
While he was talking, on the low table in front of Ezuka, there was a large ant-like creature about the size of a fingertip, swaggering up. It was all red and reflected the lighting in the living room, as if it was shining like a flame.
Vulcan Ant.
A Vulcan ant that moved from a Vulcan ant nest in a lava cave thousands of kilometers away.
This is a magical technique, and at the same time it has an incredible core - anyway, the "veteran" and Ezuka were dumbfounded.
After doing this, Ronan also sighed secretly.
Now, the coverage area of his soul cloak has shrunk across the board, and it cannot even cover the flat trade market. The spider web of the altar is also somewhat decayed, and the magic talisman needs to be "darned" again.
However, under the special structure of "Format Theory", the soul power is still rapidly multiplying and recovering at a speed that is beyond the reach of normal ability users. Moreover, the control power of the previously controlled targets has not declined, which reflects the fundamental nature of the Black Chen Chain.
The stability of ability.
Completing this "fixed-point transmission" basically clarified the bottom line of his strength.
Back to the matter at hand: Vulcan ants are a gregarious social aberration. They are controlled, small in size, and have a simple internal structure. They are quite suitable as a demonstration target.
Ronan looked at Jiang Zhong, but Jiang Zhong was stunned.
"Well, is it too young?"
"Ah, no. I've done it before..."
Ezuka raised his head, glanced this way quickly, and then lowered his eyelids. His breathing and heartbeat were slightly disordered, but he still extended his hand to the Vulcan Ant.
The big ant, which seemed to be flowing with blood-colored fire, under the command of Ronan's mind, walked up Ezuka's fingers and quickly crawled into her palm.
Ezuka adjusted his breathing again, then closed his palms together, and then separated them again after a moment.
During this period, the Vulcan Ants were under Ronan's control and did not attack her. It was as if they had completed a "check-in" mission and climbed down without any abnormalities.
"finished."
Ezuka's voice was a little waggish, perhaps due to the consumption of his abilities.
The "veteran" next to him had seen similar scenes many times. He coughed and wanted to explain, but Ronan didn't need this. He had already captured the imperceptible "red dot" in Ezuka's palm through his keen perception.
"This is...a crop?"
For the deformed Vulcan ants, the crop is no longer a place to store food, but has become an ammunition warehouse.
The semi-finished neurotoxins stored here, by mixing with secretions from different areas such as glands and tails, can form a powerful "zombie virus" that controls the target's nervous system. It can also be used as a stimulant to stimulate individual energy and is also a source of collective activities.
An important additive that requires pheromones, it can be said to be one of the most critical organs.
Looking at the Vulcan ant on the short table, he was actually at a loss.
Ronan almost applauded: "Wonderful replacement."
Upon closer inspection, it should include some subtle spatio-temporal elements, but the best thing is the instantaneous deconstruction and reorganization of local organizations. Unfortunately, the details are quite chaotic, and there seems to be considerable redundancy - it is another black box.
On Earth, when it comes to extraordinary powers, many have the characteristics of a black box. We know it but don’t know why. In the final analysis, it is because the structure is not systematic and the research is not in-depth.
Regardless, it's an interesting ability, and even a terrifying one if used correctly.
Being able to see this demonstration, Ronan felt that it was a good thing.
