Chapter 526: Parting Ways
The containers were neatly placed in the laboratory, and through the transparent lid of the container, he could clearly see the inside, and when Su Yichen swept it away and saw what was inside, he instantly showed a surprised expression, especially when he saw the appearance of a clone who was about to take shape, his surprised expression turned into consternation.
"You...... Are you planning to clone Saipo? ”
Ike raised his eyes and looked at Su Yichen, although he didn't say an answer, but his expression and the meaning in his eyes had already told Su Yichen the answer.
Human cloning, which is a forbidden technology in cosmic civilization, is a taboo for the direct cloning of intelligent life as a whole, except for the necessary medical means. As the Rand civilization standing at the top of the cosmic civilization, of course, it also abides by such a treaty, about which Su Yichen only learned after he met Ike, before he always thought that this taboo was only produced in the galactic cosmic civilization after the Rand civilization disappeared, so as to become the rule, in fact, during the Rand civilization, this has become the common knowledge of the cosmic civilization, and it is impossible for Ike as a member of the Rand civilization not to know.
In the solar system, Ike genetically modified the primitive people of the earth, but this means and the overall cloning are completely two concepts, and Ike's transformation of the earthlings does not involve taboo aspects, and now, in Ike's laboratory, there is a complete clone of Saipu, and what is even worse is that it is not just a single one, but several, doesn't he know the consequences of doing this?
"Ike, you're taking an adventure!" Su Yichen understood Ike's intention by doing this after a little thought, but he still reminded him immediately.
"It's better than nothing, right? When a civilization is in crisis, no means are excessive. Don't forget, this is not the Milky Way, it's the Andromeda Galaxy. Ike replied flatly, and his answer was like an understatement.
"Civilization is civilization. It doesn't matter what galaxy he's in. Ike, there are things that can be done and some things that cannot be done, and don't forget that you are a member of the Rand civilization, and you shoulder the responsibility of your own civilization! Su Yichen hesitated, he felt that Ike was a little different from before. Perhaps it was the long interstellar travel and the goal that he had never found that had changed his mentality, and while Ike was normal on the surface, he was a little out of balance based on what he was doing now.
"Nope! You don't understand! You don't understand! I don't know what's going on, when Su Yichen said this, Ike suddenly stood up, his expression was unprecedentedly excited, and he even waved his hands at Su Yichen: "I'm Ike!" I am the Rand civilization...... No! The greatest explorer in the entire universe! Only me, only I can be the savior of civilization! What is cloning? If there is a need. As long as you achieve your goal, you can do anything! ”
"Calm down! Ike, you need to be calm! Su Yichen looked at Ike with incredible eyes, and it was the first time he had been so emotional in his understanding of Ike. What exactly made him like this, was it the state of mind or the excessive fatigue in the lab? Su Yichen couldn't be sure of these questions for the time being, but he felt that it would be dangerous for Ike to continue like this.
"Calm down? Hehe, I'm calm! I'm very calm now! Ike laughed, and he pointed to the container in front of him with an excited expression, "See?" See any of these? How perfect these clones look! As long as I succeed. Then you can find the mystery of the generation of power from them. It's a spatial ability, and you know what it means? Mastering space is also the same as mastering dimensionality. It will be able to make a qualitative leap forward for my civilization and thus completely break away from this damn universe! A new era, it will begin, and it is none other than me who is driving all this! It's Ike! ”
"But isn't that what we're doing now? Have you forgotten that we are now searching for the Divine Domain written in Liang Zheng's records. You said it. As long as you find this place and find the remnants of the high-dimensional space, you can also uncover the secrets of the dimension. Isn't that more certain for us? Why take such a risk to do such an experiment? ”
"Hold it bigger?" Ike waved his hand, and his movements were like throwing something out, "Where is the so-called Divine Domain?" You point it out to me? Where is the remnants of high-dimensional space? You tell me? Do you know how big the whole universe is? What are the chances of finding this place in such a vast universe? How long have we sailed? But what did we find? Hehe, instead of looking for those ethereal things. On the contrary, what is real in front of oneself is the most real. ”
"Ike, calm down! That's right, we've been searching, and if we don't find it, it's only temporary, Ike! You've spent so much time crossing galaxies to get here, have you lost your balance of mind just because of a small difficulty? Think about it, think about Ike, you're the greatest explorer of the universe, think about the future, think about the history that might happen! Your civilization will eventually enter the high dimension, and maybe it will be you who will bring success to civilization, and it will be you Ike! Su Yichen persuaded hard, Ike's spirit made him extremely worried, he had never seen Ike like this before, that great explorer who had always been calm and could endure loneliness, and now how could he become so excited and utilitarian?
Ike smiled bitterly, he shook his head: "It seems that you have forgotten the discussion between us, history may be what you said in the end, but who can guarantee that this is my success?" Of course, maybe it's me, if it's mine, then I'm doing everything right, isn't it? ”
"It's ......." Ike's rebuttal made Su Yichen speechless for a while, and beside him, Luo Yan, who had been silent, held her husband's hand at this moment, and she looked at Ike with an unprecedented complexity, because she felt that Ike had gone crazy at this time.
"Get out, I'm going to get on working." At this time, the indicator light of a container lit up, and Ike suddenly turned his gaze over there, and then turned his attention away from Su Yichen and his wife.
"I ......." Su Yichen tried to say something more, but before he could say anything, he was stopped by Luo Yan, Luo Yan shook his head at him slightly, and then the two of them left the laboratory, and as soon as they walked out of the door, the door of the laboratory closed silently again. Standing outside the door, Su Yichen looked at the closed door, and his mood was extremely complicated for a while.
"He's crazy, he's crazy, to be exact." Luo Yan said.
"I want to help him." Su Yichen knew that Luo Yan was right, the current Ike was indeed a little abnormal, maybe it was pressure. Maybe it's responsibility, maybe it's some other reason, Ike is in a state of abnormality.
"Can you help him? Do we have what it takes to help him? Luo Yan asked rhetorically.
Su Yichen was silent for a long time, and finally just sighed. Ike is a Lante, and Ike has his pride in being a Lante, and this has been there since the beginning. Although Su Yichen and Ike have experienced such a long time together, they all know that under Ike's apparent calmness, they are stubborn and proud. It's hard to convince people like that, and it might be better if they were mainly Rands, but the problem is that they're all earthlings. And starting from Ike, the earthlings are all his descendants, and they all carry Ike's genes, so Ike will instinctively resist Su Yichen's dissuasion.
Can you watch Ike go on like this, so crazy? Su Yichen was unwilling, after all, they were all members of the Pioneer spacecraft, and they would also encounter difficulties if something happened to Ike. Helping Ike actually helps himself! Su Yichen saw this clearly, and Luo Yan was also clear.
In the following days. Su Yichen and his wife looked for an opportunity to enlighten Ike and try to get him out of this state. But. As time went on, Ike didn't get better, and his mental state became more and more neurotic with each failure of the clone.
Ike locked himself in the laboratory for a long time and didn't come out, and even if he came out, he was just in a hurry, and whenever Su Yichen and his wife tried to persuade him, Ike refused. And over time, Ike also showed extreme disgust with their persuasion. Instead, at this time, Raymond. Anthony began to get closer to Ike, and he didn't know what he said to Ike, but Ike actually increased the authority inside his Pioneer spacecraft. For this situation, Su Yichen and his wife are worried.
More than three months have passed, and the Pioneer spacecraft is still searching, but the target they are looking for has never been found. As Ike said, this goal seems to be ethereal, and no one knows where it is.
Moreover, during this time, Ike's temper has become more and more eccentric, and his cloning experiment has still been unsuccessful, although a month ago, Ike was in Raymond. At Anthony's suggestion, instead of destroying the failed clones that had been formed, they were preserved, and at the same time instilling personality and mind into the clones. In this case, according to Ike's explanation, this is used to determine whether the clone will evolve under natural circumstances, just like Saipu, whose ability is generated by traveling in space, or perhaps the subtle changes in the genome are acquired, which is the reason for the failure of complete replication of the genome. In this case, the clones should be cultivated first, and then let them evolve in the natural environment to see if they can evolve successfully, and if so, then Ike's experiment has achieved the first goal.
Although these explanations came out of Ike's mouth, I don't know why Su Yichen always felt that the person who came up with the idea was Raymond. Anthony. Perhaps that's why Ike is interested in Raymond. Anthony began to trust him too much, even increasing his authority inside the ship.
Ramon. What exactly does Anthony want to do? This question bothered Su Yichen and his wife, if he just wanted to please Ike, but Su Yichen and his wife felt that this matter was not so simple. With the continuous increase of clones, there are many members in the spaceship, and at this time, Ike said that the increase in clones is to increase the probability of evolution, which is also a kind of experiment, but if it goes on like this, it always makes Su Yichen feel uneasy.
About a few days later, when Ike came out of the lab again and two new clones came out at the same time, Su Yichen found Ike and persuaded him again. However, although Ike still didn't take Su Yichen's words to heart this time, he seemed to be in a good mood, maybe there were new clones constantly appearing, and he had new hope for achieving his goal, so he chatted with Su Yichen for the first time.
The persuasion was fruitless, although he had long known that this was the result, Su Yichen was still a little lonely, he looked at Ike who was smiling and seemed to have returned to normal, hesitated for a while and finally made a request.
"You're leaving?" Ike was stunned.
"Yes, we're going to leave." Su Yichen nodded, indicating that Ike had heard correctly.
"Why do you want to go, didn't we say yes at the beginning? When I finish my mission, I'll see you off myself. ”
Su Yichen shook his head and said, "Your words reminded me, do you remember the last time we debated?" Questions about history. Maybe history doomed my wife and me to not go back, so why don't we change the way we live? Ike, we've been together for quite some time, and you've always known that my wife and I are just pure scientists, and that the life we want is a peaceful life, not a constant adventure in the universe like you do. ”
"Don't you want to go back to your own plane? If I succeed, I can take you back! "Ike is indeed a little annoyed with Su Yichen these days, but now that he is leaving, this makes Ike a little reluctant, and he tries to change Su Yichen's decision.
"If there is a day, I think you, a great explorer of the universe, will be able to find us, right? Besides, we are just leaving, to live another life, maybe we will go to Liang Zheng's primordial planet, maybe we will go to Dhaka, in the universe, although communication is difficult, but you know that as long as it is in the Andromeda galaxy, the same communication is possible. ”
Su Yichen had already made a decision, he had already discussed this matter with Luo Yan, and it was inevitable that he would leave. Because no matter what the outcome is, they no longer want to stay on this spaceship, as for where to go and where to go in the future, this Su Yichen has not yet completely decided, as he said, there are many choices in the Andromeda Galaxy.
Ike thought about it and finally agreed to Su Yichen's request. After all, they had made a promise at the beginning, once Su Yichen and his wife wanted to leave, Ike would not refuse. And now, it's time for Ike to fulfill his promise, and as a Rand, that pride is a must.
"I hope we still have a chance to meet, and I hope you can find the life you like." Ike stretched out his hand to Su Yichen and shook his hand in the manner of an earthling, blessing them with a smile. At this moment, Ike returned to his original appearance, that familiar look, looking at the clear eyes in Ike's eyes, Su Yichen felt a little uncomfortable for a while. (To be continued.) )
