"Regardless of the fact that you tell me and Aoba about the two consciousnesses that are about to be integrated, how many people will believe it, but even if the captain believes your claims and ends up leaving us empty-handed, what can you gain from it? It's just a loss of bargaining chips, isn't it? ”

"......" knew very well that Dio was right, so after entering the USR building, he still wanted to get in touch with the crew of the main battle faction, because of the obstruction of Ling Yi, who was cautious and took defensive measures in all aspects, and Richard, who had to be forced to give up, decided that the operation must be successful at the beginning of entering the laboratory. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "What about you? Ping An Manipulator, you are Aoba's lover, make such a decision, aren't you afraid that even if Aoba wakes up in the end, he will no longer be the person you want? ”

"As long as a part of him can come back to life and continue to live, then even if I can only watch him from afar, I will be satisfied." It's not that I didn't think that Aoba who has completed the integration will be neither her lover nor her friend in the future, but in fact, it can also be said that she is both her lover and her friend, and it will become very troublesome to deal with, but as long as Aoba can wake up, Ping An always thinks it's worth it.

"Very well, let's start the surgery now!" After waiting for the report of the robot assistant who had completed the preliminary preparations, Richard, who got up from his seat, changed clothes, washed his hands, put on a hat, and put on a mask with Shu Lang, and entered the sterile operating room at the end of the laboratory, which was isolated from completely transparent glass.

Along with one of Richard's robot assistants who needed to adjust the instruments, Ping An and Dior, who stayed outside the operating room, were tasked with monitoring Richard, who could not fully trust him, even though there was no possibility of rebellion.

Outside the laboratory, the monitoring and vigilance of the laboratory and its surrounding area were handed over to Edward and Tang Mo, and behind the two of them staring at the screen, Ling Yi and Yayan, who had found a place to sit down, were discussing what kind of control measures should be taken against Richard after he boarded the advance ship, which would be the most effective and appropriate.

It took Yayan half an hour to determine the control plan, and then sent it to the captain, and Ling Yi, who received an agreed reply, expressed his doubts about the ongoing operation in the laboratory across the door.

"Because there is a problem with the hippocampus, isn't it possible for a patient with Alzheimer's disease to add an artificial hippocampus to the diseased hippocampus like undergoing heart bypass surgery, so that the biological signal can pass over the malfunctioning 'lead' and take a new 'lead' to complete two-way conduction, so that the patient can recover to health? And for those who have lost part of their memories after surgery due to the sequelae of brain tumor surgery, aren't they able to learn what they lost slowly through learning? ”

"So, since a quarter of Aoba's necrotic cerebral cortex has now been replaced by Richard with a healthy and brand-new replacement, then even if he doesn't reintegrate his consciousness body, Aoba should slowly use his consciousness body with new things to supplement the original amount of information after the physiological function of the brain is fully restored, right?"

"Theoretically speaking, this is true, but just as the liver that has been removed beyond the limit ratio will no longer be able to be replenished by self-growth, according to Dr. Shu, even if the green leaves of so many consciousness bodies are lost, even if the physiological function of the brain is restored, the remaining residual consciousness bodies do not have the ability to restore themselves to a complete state through the accumulation of life."

"What's more, just as a new light bulb must be turned on and checked to see if it is really installed, the cerebral cortex that has been replaced by Aoba must be used as soon as possible after the operation to ensure that it is indeed functional. However, Aoba's consciousness is incomplete, as if there is no electricity, and the newly installed 'light bulb' cannot be lit. Therefore, if the consciousness is not integrated, it is entirely likely that the 'light bulb' in the state of 'short circuit' will naturally destroy the normal 'circuit' because it is not effectively processed for a long time. ”

At the end of the night-long operation, Aoba was implanted with an artificial cerebral cortex, and a large artificial skull was replaced at the same time, leaving a port on the artificial skull that would later be used to introduce Dior's consciousness. Immediately, he was pushed out of the operating room, lying flat and packed in a rectangular box, and was carried out of the door of the laboratory.

At half past four in the morning, six o'clock in the morning when more than ninety percent of the crew members of the Hope woke up, there was not much time left, so Richard, who had his robot assistants clean up the entire laboratory, and then ordered them to bring the small amount of equipment, materials, and equipment that was difficult to make after boarding the advance ship, and summoned another robot and handed it the complete clone of himself sleeping in the artificial amniotic fluid.

The robot that stayed on the Hope would find a suitable time to send the clone out of the USR building and take it to Richard's own private residence in the next few days, and after making him "commit suicide in fear of crime" as Richard, it would self-destruct according to the instructions implanted by Richard in advance, leaving no evidence as much as possible.

As for Richard's new identity fabrication, it will not be possible to proceed until he leaves the Hope and boards a transport ship from the advance ship, and then it is confirmed that there is no reason to contact the crew of the main battle faction.

The group that left the USR building, like last night, boarded a material transport vehicle between the military area and the living area, and before the fighters went to work, with the help of the people arranged by the captain, they came to the cabin where the small resource transport ship was parked, and quickly moved Aoba up.

Richard's four robot assistants were temporarily removed from their batteries and stuffed into the resource carrier, and next to the medical robot who was responsible for taking care of Aoba lying flat in the box, belonging to Shu Lang, sat Dior, who was in charge of temporarily monitoring and controlling Richard. As for the other five people, they just have to wait for the normal arrival of work hours.
