Don't be annoyed, in Sanger's words, Hong Tao has met a nobleman, and others can't ask for this kind of opportunity. The data interface of the double escape pod is designed exactly according to the brain of the clone pilot, and it is simply not available to ordinary people.

Even if there were clone pilots who were willing to take the risk of using consciousness fusion to pass on some of the data to ordinary people like Claire, it would still not be feasible. Because ordinary people's brains can't be fused with clone pilots to this extent, Hong Tao doesn't understand the scientific term, but he probably understands the meaning.

That is to say, the data transmission bandwidth of ordinary people's brains is not enough, and they can't download and upload synchronously, and simple consciousness fusion is not all processed by the brain, but more by the nervous system, which is an activated instinct.

The consciousness fusion of Hong Tao and Claire is no longer the consciousness fusion in the traditional sense, and the workload borne by the nervous system is not much, and most of it is processed by the brain. To put it in layman's terms, Hong Tao and Claire's consciousness fusion is relatively advanced, but it does not reach the amount of data processing of clone pilots, which is a special situation that has not been seen before.

Sanger couldn't tell what it was, but she swore viciously, whether Claire agreed or not, the Ominous Aite must let her study it thoroughly, otherwise she would use the power of the family to snatch this rare research object even if she robbed it.

And she also said that as long as she revealed the situation of Hong Tao and Claire to her mother, even if Claire's father came forward, he would not be able to save Hong Tao, and it was no longer the Gora family that needed to be faced at that time, but the entire Brotherhood of Masonic Scholars.

Claire thought deeply about this statement, but fortunately, Sanger had not yet learned all the family studies, and he was somewhat humane, and promised that as long as Hong Tao cooperated, no matter what research results were kept secret.

At this point, Claire has no good way, and has a complete showdown when her consciousness merges, and she will tell the actual situation together, and let Hong Tao make up her own mind on how to decide. She has a suggestion, which can be regarded as a dead horse and a live horse doctor.

The specific method is to stabilize Sanger first, don't refuse head-on, and try to delay it until he becomes an official clone pilot.

No matter how powerful the Brotherly Freemasons are, they have to bow down in front of the Unification Ministry. If the Ministry of Integration can strictly follow the rules and protect the rights of every cloned pilot, then there is no need to fear anyone and any organization.

Hong Tao took Claire's advice, stopped arguing with Sanger about studying his own brain, and specially designed a new dress to make her very happy.

But in his heart, Hong Tao didn't fully believe Claire's statement, not that he didn't believe her, but he didn't believe that the Integration Department could do it to this extent. Since the New Edenians are likely to be descendants of earthlings, they must have the mark of earthlings in their genes. This is evident in their personal approach and in the structure of their government.

Since this is the case, then Hong Tao dares to be 100% sure that the Unification Department will not fight with Freemasonry and several major families for his own sake, this is the habit of the people of the earth, everything must be weighed first The pros and cons, and then the rules and habits.

There is no trade-off between oneself and Freemasonry, and even Clone Pilots are unlikely to be on par with Freemasonry made up of powerful people from various countries.

As for the identity of the cloned pilot, Hong Tao believes that if he has nothing worth studying, the Integration Department will stick to the principle, and in fact they have always done so.

But now it is no longer a matter of simply maintaining the rules, for some scientific purpose, Hong Tao believes that Freemasonry can persuade the Unification Department to turn a blind eye. As long as it can be done cleanly and does not let the outside world know too much of the inside story, the loss of a clone pilot will not affect the authority of the Integration Department at all.

I can't even rely on the Unification Department, so can I just tie up and become the guinea pig of the new Eden?

No, Hong Tao can be lazy and compromise in everything else, but he has a very strong sense of resistance on this issue, and he is not afraid of death and is willing to fight with his life.

He had already made up his mind that as soon as he became a clone pilot, he would find an opportunity to fly the Executive Officer and go to a galaxy that was not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Unification and the state to become a pioneer. Although that kind of life is boring and boring, it is still dangerous, and it is much more than the loss of freedom and happiness.

In fact, Hong Tao has a more adventurous idea, that is, to become an interstellar pirate or smuggler. Crime? It depends on which perspective you understand it. From the standpoint of the Governments and the Ministry of Integration, pirates and smugglers are indeed criminals who disrupt order. But isn't it a crime to be a person or institution like Freemasonry that can deprive others of their rights at any time under the pretext of research?

If you think about it further, whether it is the Empire, the Federation, or the Republic, there are such things as slave ownership, human trafficking, and smuggling of synergists, any of which are felonies. Therefore, whether a crime is a crime or not is just a man-made rule, and there is no need to attach too much importance to this kind of thing.

When it has nothing to do with your core interests, it's okay to recognize the rules of society, but now your basic rights are almost gone, and it's stupid to worry about whether you have violated the rules.

Dealing with this kind of thing, even if he knew that it was a moth to the fire, Hong Tao's choice was also to resist. Even if you fail every time, you still won't hit the south wall next time and won't look back, and you won't look back if you hit the south wall.

But then again, can anyone do it, such as interstellar pioneers, pirates, and smugglers? The answer is very unfriendly, most of the New Eden people are sure that they can't do it, these industries can be said to be nine deaths, and only a very few people with strong abilities can survive.

The reason why he was tortured to the point that life was worse than death every time, but he didn't strongly object every time, and honestly accepted Claire's skipping training, on the surface, he was forced to fight the mechanical monster, but in fact, Hong Tao did it deliberately. Regardless of whether this training can make you adapt to the work of a clone pilot in advance, as long as it is helpful for your future life, no matter how hard and tired you are, you have to grit your teeth and persevere.

In addition, Hong Tao also has deep suspicions about Claire, this very rational and very intelligent woman should not have trained herself so hard, and the New Eden who is recommended to become a clone pilot does not have to pass the rigorous exam, as long as the brain does not have a particularly strong resistance to the consciousness transfer system.

She tortured herself on the grounds that it would help her work as a clone pilot in the future, and there must have been something wrong with her motives. And the timing of the start of this training is also intriguing, is it all a coincidence that Sanger discovers that he and Claire can achieve a deeper level of consciousness?

Hong Tao never believed in coincidences, even if it was a coincidence, he would pay special attention to it and couldn't let go of it for a long time. But he didn't ask a word what Claire thought, because he had already made up his mind, and if he really had to flee for his life one day, he resolutely couldn't let Claire know in advance.

That's right, Claire has helped her a lot, and she may really have a good impression of herself, but Hong Tao doesn't want to use this to make a profit, not to protect anyone, but to fully trust Claire yet.

After all, she is the daughter of a wealthy businessman, and no matter how rebellious she is, she can't change her class identity. She's probably very upright when she's fine, but as long as she's human, there's always an upper limit to what she can handle.

God knows where Claire's ceiling is, in case she can't afford it, then she can only choose to give up on herself, which is much easier than giving up her family and identity.

Without Claire's help, will she be able to survive in this very strange and helpless new world? Hong Tao thinks that it is not completely impossible.

These days, except for gritting your teeth and enduring training that is almost beyond your body's capacity, everything else you do is actually paving the way for a new life in the future, such as lingering on the trade space station and not buying anything.

In fact, Hong Tao is not visiting a mall in the ordinary sense, but is familiar with the business system in the New Eden world. In the future, whether you are a pirate or a pioneer, trading is inevitable, and it is easy to attract unnecessary trouble.
