Chapter 525: Probability Repeat
For the duplication of the genome, Ike is not the first experiment, in fact, when he was on Earth, in order to transform the primitive people of the earth, he once added some of his own genes to the genes of the primitive people of the earth for combination, and the results are obvious. It is precisely because of Ike's change that the earth civilization appeared in advance, and human beings have truly evolved from beasts to intelligent life with their own civilization, and the later earthlings, including Su Yichen and Luo Yan, are the descendants of the original earthlings who have been transformed.
From this point of view, the Rand civilization has been very mature in this regard, but now the subtle changes in the genome of the clone made Ike puzzled for a while, he couldn't figure out how this happened, could it be that there was an accident in the cultivation? Or was it because of his bad luck that he ran into that almost non-existent small probability of failure?
No matter how advanced science and technology are, it is impossible to have 100% success in scientific research, and the probability of failure will always exist, but this probability will continue to shrink with the progress of science and technology, approaching the infinitesimal but will not return to zero. This is like a very common appendicitis surgery, which has very little risk and is very safe in the earth civilization that has entered the cosmic civilization period, which can be said to be the safest operation. And with the advancement of science and technology, the original traditional scalpel has been replaced by a laser scalpel, and the doctor's surgical procedures are also carried out under the control of a specialized medical brain, and each step is completely textbook-like and accurate. Even so, as long as the surgery is performed, the risk is still there, and this risk has many aspects, both for the patient's own reasons and external causes, including the patient's physiological response and changes, or problems with the laser control. There are also brain failures and so on, in addition to many postoperative problems, which add up to bring danger to the human body. So, the probabilities are always there, it's just the size.
Puzzled, Ike eventually attributes the possibility of defeat to this probability. Looking deeply at the already formed clone, Ike gave the order to destroy it. An unsuccessful clone is useless to him, and its existence is even more worthless. Moreover, without the introduction of simulated personalities and minds into the clones, the clone is not a real life by nature, and there is no moral problem with Ike doing so, just like the process of genetically modifying the primitive humans on Earth on Earth, and the final outcome of the failure is only destruction.
After destroying the clones, Ike set his sights on the remaining clones in culture. The clones were molded in different proportions, some were only embryonic shapes, some resembled babies, and some resembled juvenile ....... None of these clones actually took shape, but the closest thing to a clone would be a few days later, based on the time it took to take place.
A few days later, another clone took shape, and Ike rushed to the lab as soon as possible. The final step of the formed clone was examined, and the results were shocked. Because this time the result was exactly the same as the last time, the genome of the newly formed clone also underwent subtle changes, and it was the same as the previous clone.
"How so?"
Ike asked angrily, there was no one else in the lab, only him. This question is not asking him about the brain, let alone himself, it seems to be asking the gods of fate. The first time, he attributed the possibility of problems to probability, and the second time, he closely monitored the cultivation through the brain. But it still happened.
Two of the same outcomes are simply impossible in terms of the probability of failure. Ike was well aware of this, of course, so he instantly concluded that it was definitely not a matter of probability of failure. Of course, in order to ensure this, Ike analyzed the monitoring of the brain again to figure out the time period of the occurrence, and as expected, when the final result was placed in front of Ike, Ike was silent, because the results of the second audit were the same as the first, and the subtle changes in the genome occurred at the moment when the clone was finally formed, and what would have caused this to happen, the brain also did not give Ike an answer.
The second clone ended up being the same as the first, it was destroyed by Ike, and then the third clone was cultivated, this time Ike stayed in the lab and never went out, staring intently at the cultivation process, and every once in a while, Ike matched the genome to make sure that there were no more changes. Especially when the clone was finally about to take shape, Ike was extremely nervous, afraid that the accident would happen again. Unfortunately, no matter how far Ike stood by and personally monitored every step of the brain, when the cloned analysis results came out, Ike's eyes were full of incredulous expressions, and the results still told him that he had failed.
"Impossible! That's impossible! ”
Ike shouted angrily, and he scrambled to get Brain to destroy the third clone once more, then focus all his attention on the fourth. Moreover, Ike has also made a more detailed and comprehensive plan through the wisdom brain, he does not believe that with the powerful technology of the Rand civilization, it will be so difficult to clone such a human body?
However, the reality finally hit Ike hard, no matter how he adjusted the cultivation plan to minimize the risk, but in the end, it was like there was always an invisible hand, when the clone finally took shape, the subtle parts of its genome would always change, and what was even more puzzling was that this change was exactly the same, once, twice, three times, four times...... It's been like this again and again, and Ike is going crazy in the face of such a result.......
"He hasn't come out yet?" Not far from Ike's laboratory is another laboratory, which is shared by Su Yichen and Luo Yan. On this day, after completing the experimental work, Su Yichen and Luo Yan walked out of the laboratory together, and when they came to the corridor, he subconsciously glanced at Ike's experiment diagonally opposite, and when he saw the prompt that the laboratory door was marked with a work, Su Yichen couldn't help but stop.
"It's been a few days, right?" Luo Yan also noticed this, she thought about it and said.
"It's been days...... No, it should be almost half a month. "Su Yichen and Luo Yan are both scientists, and it is common for scientists to stay in the laboratory and forget to sleep and eat for a few days to work, just like they do now. It was the end of a long experiment, and a full three days had passed since the beginning. Carefully recalling the last time he saw Ike and the current time, Su Yichen suddenly found that he hadn't seen Ike for more than half a month, and he seemed to have been staying in the laboratory.
"It can't be staggered, right? Maybe he came out while we were inside. Luo Yan thought for a while and asked, Su Yichen frowned and thought for a while, and then he connected to the terminal connected to the brain. asked if Ike had ever come out of the laboratory, and when the information fed back by Zhi Brain jumped into his eyes, Su Yichen was really startled, because Zhi Brain told him that Ike had been in the lab for 21 days, not half a month as he imagined, and in these 21 days, Ike did not step out of the laboratory.
If it was a scientist who stayed in the laboratory for so long, Su Yichen would believe it, but the problem was that Ike was not a scientist. He's just a cosmic explorer. Scientific research is not Ike's job, and even if a scientist stays in the laboratory for 21 days, then this time is scary enough, Su Yichen is now worried about whether Ike has an accident?
As a member of the Rand, and as the captain of the Pioneer spacecraft, the chances of Ike having an accident in the lab are almost none. But, based on probability, maybe something happened to him? Come to think of this. Su Yichen didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly turned around and walked towards Ike's laboratory. Luo Yan, who understood her husband's thoughts, immediately followed.
"The door is locked." Su Yichen came to the door of the laboratory and tried to open it, but the door was locked from the inside. Strong destruction is impossible, not to mention that the door of the laboratory is made of a special alloy, which is extremely strong and can only be destroyed by cutting it with a high-energy weapon. And this kind of cutting also takes a lot of time. In addition, even if a forcible cut is performed, the ship's brain system will react immediately and activate the guard system at the same time. Once the spaceship's security system is activated, there is no authorized person. That is, under the order of the captain, all creatures in this corridor will be wiped out at the first time.
Su Yichen and Luo Yan didn't want to be ashes, so it would be impossible for them to forcibly enter and sabotage. Standing at the door, Su Yichen looked at the locked door, and he immediately called the Zhi Brain System and asked the Zhi Brain System to open the door.
"Request denied, authorization ...... required."
The intelligent brain system rejected Su Yichen's request, and the door was still closed. In desperation, Su Yichen had no choice but to call Ike through the brain system and ask him if he was in the laboratory and whether he was safe.
The call kept going, but Ike didn't respond, as if the brain couldn't reach Ike anymore. At this time, not only Su Yichen, but also Luo Yan couldn't help but feel a little panicked, once Ike had an accident or died, then none of them would have the opportunity to leave the Pioneer spacecraft. As the only authority holder of this spaceship, Ike has the highest command authority of the spaceship, and the intelligent brain system only opened part of the authority to Su Yichen and them under Ike's program orders.
Once Ike is gone, then it is impossible for Su Yichen to take over the authority of this spaceship, then it is equivalent to saying that this spaceship has become an uncontrollable aerial coffin, although they can continue to live in the spaceship, they can't do anything else, even leaving the spaceship.
"Ike! Ike! Did you hear that? Are you absent? Answer me! Ike! Ike! Answer me! ”
Su Yichen didn't dare to think about such a consequence, he could only keep calling to Ike repeatedly, and a minute passed...... Five minutes passed...... Ten minutes passed...... Ike still didn't hear back. As time passed, Su Yichen and Luo Yan's hearts became colder and colder, and they looked at the door of the laboratory with frightened eyes, could it be that Ike really had an accident? Or is he already dead inside?
"What's ......?"
Just as they were thinking about the worst and panicking, Ike's voice suddenly rang out.
"You bastard! You're alive? Su Yichen was stunned for a moment, then showed an ecstatic expression, and at the same time he couldn't help blurting out and scolding.
"Of course I'm alive." Ike replied strangely, but from his voice he didn't know what was going on, it was full of thick weariness: "You are looking for me? ”
"Nonsense, who else are you looking for if you don't look for you?" Su Yichen scolded angrily, this guy was scared to death, he was even desperate just now, but Ike was good, first asked what was the matter, and then asked if he was looking for him, this kind of answer made Su Yichen angry.
"Mr. Ike, are you alright? We're a little worried about you. Luo Yan glanced at Su Yichen and asked.
"I'm okay, worried about me? Why worry about me? Ike asked tiredly.
"You've been locked up in the lab for 21 days, and we tried to contact you just now, but you didn't answer for half an hour, and we thought something had happened to you...... Luo Yan explained.
"21 days? So long? Ike seemed to be stunned by Luo Yan's mention of the time, and then he smiled bitterly: "I see, if I caused you panic, I apologize to you." ”
"You don't have to apologize, can you open the door? Let's see you, Mr. Ike. ”
"This ...... All right....... Ike thought for a moment and replied, as soon as the words fell, the closed laboratory door opened silently, and when the door opened, the light inside made Su Yichen and Luo Yan who were standing in the corridor can't help but squint their eyes, and it took a while to get used to this brightness.
Yesterday he covered his hands in front of his eyes and looked inside, there were containers in the huge laboratory, what were these containers used for Su Yichen didn't pay attention to, and looked for Ike first. Soon, he saw Ike, who was sitting on a chair in front of him, and for 21 days, Ike had become much haggard, and he was sitting in the chair, but instead of looking in the direction of the door, he was staring intently at a container in front of him.
"Ike, you're ......." Su Yichen walked straight in after seeing Ike, and asked as he walked, Ike's mental state seemed to be very poor, and he was about to ask Ike if he was okay, but after walking a few steps, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the container on the side, but it was this glance that made Su Yichen stunned, and he immediately stopped in disbelief.
