Part 6 The Stars Project 29 The Savior of Eternal Life

29 The Savior of eternal life

When Wang Chen finally saw the clone named Saivia, it was April 15th. Previously, because the working hours of Wang Chen, Silka and others were staggered, it was inconvenient for him to disturb the command development team.

The work location of the development team was to rotate between Research Room 2 and Research Room 3, and after Wang Chen entered Research Room 2, he finally met Sevia, a person he didn't know at all. Sevia is of medium stature, dignified in appearance, with old maturity and steadiness in her eyes, and her short black hair shows perseverance and ability; His face was calm, and he was calm and calm when he saw a stranger come in, as if he could remain silent when danger came.

"Black hair, oriental looks...... Is this man really only two years old? Wang Chen couldn't help but suspect in his heart, he faintly felt that the aura on the other party's body seemed to be stronger than that on Miller's. Silka and Lucien were not here, and Wang Chen felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward at this time.

"Hello, are you Sevia?" Wang Chen greeted each other politely, wanting to resolve the awkward atmosphere.

Wang Chen was sure that the other party heard his question, but judging from the fact that he barely reacted, Wang Chen thought that his question voice was not conveyed - fortunately, the other party replied in time: "Yes." My name is Sevia. "And it's in Chinese, the voice is cold, it's that mechanical tone.

"Oh oh...... Wang Chen was even more uncomfortable, "This is your name, so what is your surname?" ”

"I don't have a last name." "I use the name of the place I am in as my last name so that I can easily remember it. That's why I'm now called Sevia Minerva. ”

Wang Chen nodded and continued to ask-

"King! It's great to hear you're okay! Excited female voices came from behind her, and Silka Vertanen and Lucien Brown entered.

Here we introduce the French astronomer Lucien Brown, who has been mentioned repeatedly before, who is also a black man. While the black community in France was often a hot topic among some people, the negative views associated with it disappeared after the Great Reconciliation era, and a considerable black social elite emerged – Lucien was one of them. Lucien was not tall and relatively thin, but no matter how you look at it, he was a very spiritual person, his eyes were very ordinary but very shiny, he had a row of pearly white teeth, and his ears were surprisingly large like the blades of a fan, giving people a feeling that they could not be forgotten at a glance. Unlike Mike's rigid personality, Lucien loves life and the people around him, and always has a sunny and confident attitude...... But at this time, although he still had a smile on his face, there was more sorrow in his eyes. If it was Gao Jie, he would definitely be able to detect the changes in Lu Xi's body, but Wang Chen would not care about these.

Wang Chen greeted the two who had just come in, and then Lu Xien put on his headphones and sat aside for a while. Sirka chatted with Wang Chen, and as for Saivia, he was sitting there, motionless, his face unchanged.

After chatting about some nutritious content, Wang Chen wanted to know more about the clones, and Sirka's face suddenly became solemn, and she hesitated and thought for a long time before revealing these clones to Wang Chen.

"First of all, I came up with this information from a piece of information that I pieced together with each other, don't try to confirm it." Silka instructed, and then took Wang Chen to the No. 3 research room, pointing to an instrument in the corner, "Look at that, it's Saivia's survival cabin." ”

Wang Chen stared at the survival pod in the cornerβ€”like the recuperation pod often seen in science fiction movies, with a glass cover, and he could clearly see the light and shadow inside being refracted: it proved that there was liquid inside.

"What's inside?" Wang Chen asked.

Sirka frowned, saying that she didn't know very well: "It seems that there are protein peptides, serum, peptides or something, which are those things that can help the human body repair the damage." ”

"You said it was Sevia's survival pod, so it was for his healing purposes?"

"You can say that, but......" Silka continued, "but it was actually for him to be 'reborn' so that he could live forever." ”

"Eternal life...... It turns out that those guys on Earth are already so crazy. "Wang Chen is not surprised, this seems to be a logical thing, when gene editing and cloning technology begins to be abused, there will inevitably be some people who will begin to pursue these ethereal existences once upon a time, and Saivia is the experimental product of trying this pursuit." So what is he doing here? Wang Chen continued to ask.

"Examining the clone's reaction to cosmic rays doesn't really make much sense, but I found out that he can voice-control N-particles, so ......" the corners of her mouth lifted slightly, "To be honest, it's sometimes fun to observe the behavior of clones." ”

"And how often does he have to enter the survival pod?"

"The advice given by the Earth side is to go once every five years, after Saivia's genes are edited, he will age faster than we do, but no matter what he becomes, as long as he enters the survival pod for about three months, he can return to his current appearance, like a lighthouse jellyfish, immortal...... Oh, and of course the survival pod shouldn't be able to repair the damage that can't be healed. ”

Wang Chen cast a shadow in his heart, and subconsciously asked, "Will this have side effects?" ”

Silka rubbed her hands and thought for a moment: "I don't know if this counts, but some ordinary people's behaviors have not appeared in him, such as his eyes don't move when he thinks, he doesn't express rich emotions, and the sleep duration is strictly fixed......"

"He's a machine." Wang Chen came to a conclusion, and Silka shook her head, but her expression seemed to be affirmative.

The two were silent for a moment, and then ordered the development team's break to end, and Wang Chen left, leaving the three of them to continue repeating the hellish development work of words.

As for Sevia, Wang Chen didn't even want to look at him anymore, in fact, this is also a portrayal of most people on the space station - at first they were curious about clones, but soon they stayed away, maybe it was the uncanny valley theory that was at work, maybe it was Sevia's dull personality and barren emotions that were not pleasant, maybe it was the long-term isolation on the Minerva that made most people have a xenophobic mentality......

Most people's views are the same as Wang Chen's summary: Saivia, he is a machine.

……

A day later, Wang Chen found Ryan and Mike, mentioned his opinion of Sevia, and told them about Silka's thoughts on the human cloning experiment.

"The quest for eternal life? I think you're misunderstood. "Finns don't lack imagination, but a lot of the time it's easy to get caught up in the cycle of thinking and think crookedly." Right, Mike? ”

Mike glanced at him and didn't answer, he didn't seem to like judging people.

Ryan didn't get an answer, and looked back with a little dissatisfaction: "Listen, Wang, most of the speculation about the immortal clone of Sevia can only exist as opinions, and cannot be confirmed or falsified. Yes, as long as there is a survival pod, Sevia can achieve theoretical immortality, but he is more likely to serve the 'Watcher' as it is about to pass through the wormhole. ”

"Oh! That's right. As soon as Ruian's words came out, Wang Chen suddenly realized.

Ryan continued his analysis: "Wang, you think, when the Stars Project is executed on the wormhole, if there is no human control operation, most of the problems will not be handled well, but for the Stars Project, which is cycled for thousands of years, it makes no sense to send ordinary people to the past, and the problem of longevity is obvious, so immortal clones like Saivia are needed to assist in completing those operations, and those who will arrive in June should be the ones who will arrive in June." ”

This time, Mike on the side nodded vigorously, agreeing with Ryan's statement. And Wang Chen had already speculated the following content as soon as he clicked it before, which was basically the same as Ryan's analysis.

"It's true that sending ordinary humans over there doesn't do any good." Wang Chen echoed.

"Take the hibernation pod." Mike said coldly.

Ryan quickly picked up: "Oh, yes. Wang, you may not know that the hibernation pod technology has also been improved, and now no matter what age or how long it hibernates, there are no side effects, the gospel of the Russians! If you really send ordinary people on the Watcher, it is indeed feasible to bring a hibernation pod, oops, oops......"

……

The shadow in Wang Chen's heart suddenly began to surge, and he was very concerned: What is the understanding of "death" for people who can live forever?
