Chapter 93: Conversation in the Ward (2)
The atmosphere in the ward became warm because of Lu Ming's question, and Albert seemed to be in good spirits, and the speed of his speech increased a lot.
"Actually, in recent years, I've been secretly researching a problem. Theoretically, under the same growth environment, the clone and the original body should be exactly the same, no different.
But in fact, there are slight differences between clones and ontologies in terms of appearance, height, personality, and lifespan. What's even more exaggerated is that they can be identified 100% through a single reagent, which must hide secrets that have not yet been solved.
As long as I can make a breakthrough in this research, I will definitely find a solution to the problem of implanting chips. ”
"Why are you secretly researching?" Albert's words caught Lu Ming's attention.
"You should be able to guess. This kind of research is meaningless to the government at all, and it will cause big trouble, so there will be no one to support it at all. ”
Speaking of this, Albert suddenly sighed: "Actually, they are wrong, they think that the human race wants to live forever, self-transformation and exploration have come to an end, and finding a new world is the right way."
So in the past few decades, they have focused all their attention on the exploration of outer space, and neglected the study of life itself. Hmph, how can people who don't even know themselves understand the outside world! ”
"Do you mean self-transformation and exploration as well, those mutants?"
"Mutants are the only way to go in the process of human modification, and there is nothing wrong with this research itself, but it has been used as a weight by people with ulterior motives to control the regime. Those gray dead should have been completely destroyed a long time ago, and I didn't even know that Scrooge was secretly keeping such a large number of them. Ay! I'm just a researcher after all, and there are some things that I can't control. ”
Albert looked a little helpless when he said this, after all, he was just a pawn of those in power.
In this regard, Lu Ming didn't want to comment too much, but said: "To get back to the point, you mean that as long as we support you to continue research, you can find a way to solve the chip?" ”
"It's a possibility, but I can't 100 percent guarantee it." Albert maintained the usual rigor of a researcher.
"Okay, as long as there's hope, I think they'll say yes."
Speaking of this, Lu Ming suddenly stood up and continued: "Okay, that's all for this matter, let's talk about business next!" ”
"Get down to business!" Albert was a little surprised: "Isn't what we just said about the right thing?" ”
Lu Ming shook his fingers and said in an extremely serious tone: "I mean, it's time for the two of us to talk about business." Attention, it's just the two of us! ”
"What do you want to talk about?"
"I should ask you first, what do you want to talk about? Or what do you want to talk to me, the first thing you say when you wake up is to find me, you don't want to talk to me, right? ”
"This... This one... Albert suddenly stopped talking.
"What? Inconvenient to say? ”
"Nothing was inconvenient. I'll be blunt, there are two things I want to do with you. The first is to do a study on you, and I want to know why your memory is problematic, why Albert' has not preserved the slightest memory, but has become a different person. ”
"Impossible, I can tell you very clearly, absolutely impossible! I am who I am, a unique being, and I will not be subject to any form of research, let alone the so-called memories. ”
Before Albert finished speaking, Lu Ming decisively refused, why did he not inherit Albert's memory, he knew best in his heart that everything was a masterpiece. As for being studied as guinea pigs, he is 10,000 unwilling.
Lu Ming's attitude made Albert a little disappointed, but he had to nod helplessly and continued: "As for the second thing, it's actually very simple, I want to live. ”
"Live?"
"Yes, what I mean by living is not to live, but to live meaningfully." Speaking of this, Albert suddenly asked Lu Ming, "Do you know how old I am?" ”
Lu Ming understood that what he was asking was the soul of "Albert", not the current body, so he asked tentatively: "100 years old?" ”
"233 years old!" Albert named a shocking number.
"After the catastrophe, people like me became the focus of protection, and in order to prevent human technology from regressing or disconnecting, I and some top personnel accepted cloning and memory transplantation technology, which was not mature at the time.
After more than 200 years, some people mutated and died in cloning, and some people chose to commit suicide because of confusion.
In the past two hundred years, I have fused the knowledge of mathematics, physics, biology and other disciplines to produce countless achievements that can change humanity. In the end, even if I wanted to die, the federal government wouldn't dare let me die. Because what I have in my head is so important and complex that even if I spend my whole life studying, I can't learn one percent of it.
As a result, I have been cloned countless times, and in a sense, I have achieved true immortality! ”
"If you say so, you should have a lot of clones to spare. Even if you die now, there's going to be another Albert in the federal government, right? ”
"It makes sense in theory, but it's not possible in practice. Because my memories are so large and large, I have to organize and divide them carefully before each memory transplant, otherwise I will have memory confusion and even suicide, and this technique is only mastered by me.
But I don't have that much time to do this, so in reality, I only keep two clones at a time, and two processed memories in case I need them. ”
"You don't mean to tell me that the two clones are numbered 101 and 102, are they?"
Albert didn't speak, just nodded.
Now Lu Ming finally understands the importance of the other party, if such a big man is lost, the federal government will definitely come to fight hard.
Regardless of what Lu Ming thought in his heart, Albert continued: "It is said that after living for so many years, I have long lost my passion and motivation for life, and death is not difficult for me to accept. Especially after waking up this time, I already have a lot of bad premonitions, maybe this is the last time the ID "Albert" logged in the human world.
But when I really faced death, I realized that I can't be so selfish, I can't die until I solve the true meaning of life for human beings, and before I solve the problem of human existence! ”
"So you found me and asked me to help you live?"
"Yes, you're the only one I can trust! I woke up and thought about it all night, I can only ask you. Unexpectedly, you really didn't disappoint me, and you did it before I even opened my mouth. Albert laughed.
"Don't be so optimistic, whether you can survive is completely in your own hands, the Heijue Party is not so easy to speak, if you can't get those chips, it will be difficult for me to keep you."
"I understand, in a sense, that the federal government is the same, and I know what to do."
Albert's words couldn't help but make Lu Minggao take a look, it seems that the other party has not lived in vain for more than two hundred years, and he is not completely a rigid science and engineering man.
Then, Lu Ming moved the only chair in the room and sat in front of Albert again: "Since your matter is solved, then let's talk about mine!" ”
