Chapter 134: Immortality
A bright flame lit up the dark starry sky, and immediately after, the fireball began to collapse inward, and the huge gravitational force generated by the space distortion was like an invisible hand, firmly grasping the nearby warships, large and small. With the last rays of light, all the battleships in the blast zone disappeared.
This is the result of the explosion of the Primal Energy Converter.
Although the large Origin Energy Converter used to power the S-class battleship was extremely precious, before launching the attack, Yang Yi had no idea that the result would be like this. In order not to let the master of the Luo family escape, Yang Yi made the worst plan. If he had known, he wouldn't have arranged it this way.
Thinking of this, Yang Yi couldn't help but sigh.
It's a pity, it's a shame indeed.
Not only the S-class battleship and more than a dozen A-class and B-class warships, but also the pirates on those warships, they are all on the wanted list of the federal authorities, and each head is a large bounty. The miniature black hole that was caught up in the explosion of the Origin Converter is dead and unproven, and Yang Yi obviously cannot receive a reward from the federal authorities by verbal words. Besides, who would believe that the twelve of them wiped out the "Blood Moon" pirate legion!?
"Got the message." Lin Feng walked over and said, "Uncle Seventh is coming with a fleet, let's wait for him." ”
"Not angry?"
"Fortunately, Luo Changsheng is alive."
Yang Yi was slightly stunned, looking at Lin Feng with little understanding.
"See for yourself." Lin Feng handed the miniature light brain he brought to Yang Yi, with the information sent by Lin Lieexun on it.
After a closer look, Yang Yi understood. Lin Liexun had asked them to stand still before, in addition to worrying that they were in danger, it was also related to Luo Changsheng.
These materials also explain another question, that is, why Luo Changsheng surrendered without a fight.
In fact, this is also Luo Zhenyu's secret.
Although Luo Zhenyu has handed over the family power to Luo Changsheng and several other children, and Luo Changsheng is the eldest son and the first heir to the family, it is almost impossible for Luo Changsheng to inherit the Luo family and become the real master of the Luo family.
It's very simple, if Luo Changsheng wants to dominate the Luo family, he has to do it after Luo Zhenyu passes away.
The question is not when Luo Zhenyu will die, but whether he will die.
Although anyone can die, there are some exceptions, including Luo Zhenyu. It's not that Luo Zhenyu is beyond the existence of mortals, but with the use of genetic technology, Luo Zhenyu can achieve immortality, at least his lifespan beyond the foreseeable future.
In the information provided by Lin Liexun, it is clearly mentioned that the Luo family has been secretly conducting research related to cloning. In addition, Lin Liexun also mentioned that there is ample evidence that in the past 400 years or so, Luo Zhenyu's body has not aged, and his physiology is the same as 400 years ago. The only reasonable explanation is that Luo Zhenyu is using illegal cloning technology to prolong his life, and he is still using it to maintain his youth.
If Luo Zhenyu doesn't die, Luo Changsheng will always be the big master, not the real master.
After reading it, Yang Yi smiled bitterly.
Although death is terrible and no one wants to die, people like Luo Zhenyu are really wonderful. It is undeniable that with the advancement of science and technology, especially the rapid development of genetic technology, it is everyone's dream to prolong life, and everyone wants to live a little longer as long as possible. In the Human Federation, powerful and powerful people are using genetic drugs that slow down aging, thus gaining a lifespan far beyond ordinary people. The problem is that drugs can only delay aging, but they cannot change the defects of human beings, so it is impossible to make people immortal. Even when combined with hibernation techniques and means such as controlling the original energy, human lifespan is limited. Theoretically, the only way to immortalize human beings is to clone, and not just the body, but also the brain, and to transfer individual consciousness through technological means.
I really didn't expect Luo Zhenyu to be so afraid of death!
Sighing secretly, Yang Yi returned the light brain to Lin Feng.
"Jackson is interrogating Luo Changsheng, do you want to go over and take a look?"
Yang Yi nodded and went with Lin Feng to the cabin where Luo Changsheng was held.
Luo Changsheng has surrendered, and it is not difficult for him to open a ** generation. When Yang Yi and Lin Feng arrived, Jackson was questioning him.
"I said that if you give me a way to live, I'll tell you everything."
"Luo Changsheng, do you think you have the qualifications to bargain?"
"You've tried, and you won't be able to get any useful information from me unless I volunteer, and it's not good for you to force me to death."
Yang Yi was slightly stunned and called Jackson out.
"What's going on?"
"He refused to explain, saying that he would only cooperate with us if there was an amnesty decree signed by Zhan Ruilin."
Lin Feng was slightly stunned and said, "You haven't tried anything else?" ”
"Used, but didn't work."
"What do you mean?"
Jackson sighed and said, "He's been hypnotized, to be precise, somehow locked in his consciousness. It is a technology from an advanced civilization that is specifically designed to protect important information. To put it simply, unless he is voluntary, no matter what means we use, such as torture and hypnosis, it will trigger the consciousness lock, causing him to lose his memory, and may even lead to brain necrosis and turning into a vegetative state. ”
"This ......"
"At the beginning, I accidentally triggered his consciousness lock, but fortunately I reacted in time and did not cause serious consequences."
"So, unless you agree to the land demand, you can't let him open a ** generation?"
Jackson nodded, indicating that this was what he meant.
Lin Feng also sighed, not knowing what to do.
"The Luo family has close contacts with the Lei Ling Clan, and this technology is likely to come from the Lei Ling Clan, used to protect the secrets that involve the Lei Ling Clan and cannot see the light." Yang Yi let out a long breath and said, "I'll go talk to him, if it really doesn't work, I'll help him fight for Marshal Zhan Ruilin's amnesty." ”
"I'll contact Uncle Seven."
Waiting for Lin Feng to leave, Yang Yi entered the room where Luo Changsheng was being held.
Seeing Yang Yi come in, Luo Changsheng was not surprised.
"I've already asked Lin Feng to help you apply for an amnesty." Yang Yi sat down opposite Luo Changsheng. "To be honest, I sympathize with you."
Luo Changsheng was slightly stunned, and looked at Yang Yi incomprehensibly.
"Nominally, you are the first heir in line to the throne of the family, but you can only be the crown prince for a lifetime, even if you are immortal, it is impossible to sit on the throne of the family, you are very pitiful."
"You ......"
"If I were you, I would feel sad because I had that kind of Lao Tzu."
"You know everything?"
Yang Yi smiled faintly and said, "Obviously, what your father is pursuing is not a thousand generations, but a thousand generations. For him, not only civilians like me, but even those brothers and sisters like you, all his children and grandchildren, in fact, are tools that can be sacrificed, whether you are qualified to exist or not has nothing to do with blood or family affection, but is determined by your value. ”
Luo Changsheng smiled bitterly, which was equivalent to admitting Yang Yi's words.
"It's just that you probably haven't figured it out."
"Want to understand what?"
"What do you think an amnesty can change?"
"I said, as long as ......"
"I'll help you apply for a pardon." Yang Yi pressed his hand and said, "It's just that don't you think that even if there is an amnesty, it can't change your fate?" That's right, you hate Luo Zhenyu to death. The problem is that even if you surrender, you are still Luo Zhenyu's eldest son. Also, don't you think that since I know why you surrendered, Zhan Ruilin didn't attack the Luo family, is there something that doesn't make sense? ”
Luo Changsheng was slightly stunned, and his brows immediately locked together.
"Before, I couldn't figure it out. Now, though, we know why. ”
"Why?"
Yang Yi smiled faintly and pointed at Luo Changsheng's forehead.
Luo Changsheng looked at Yang Yi very suspiciously, not understanding what Yang Yi meant.
"The secret is hidden in your head."
"You mean ......"
"The consciousness lock that prevented you from telling the secret while being tortured must have come from the Lei Ling Clan, and the root of Luo Zhenyu's immortality is very likely to be related to the Lei Ling Clan. If my guess is correct, this is also the main reason why he defected to the Lei Ling Clan. To put it simply, the Thunderling Clan has provided a vital technology that allows him to gain immortality through cloning, and Zhan Ruilin is interested in this technology. ”
"What technology?"
"Shift personal awareness."
Luo Changsheng was taken aback, and then understood.
Cloning body organs, or even brains, is no longer technically problematic. It's just that it's not easy to transfer one's consciousness to another. Of course, such a technology does exist, but it is very difficult to apply it in practice due to many limitations. If Luo Zhenyu obtained this technology from the Lei Ling Clan, it would definitely attract the attention of Zhan Ruilin, who also didn't want to die.
If this is the case, Zhan Ruilin can't bear Luo Zhenyu, it is very likely that he is trying to obtain this technology.
Now, the problem arises.
Of course, it is Luo Changsheng's problem.
To put it simply, even if Luo Changsheng surrendered, Zhan Ruilin signed an amnesty. In order to obtain this technology, Zhan Ruilin is likely to compromise with Luo Zhenyu. In order to keep it a secret, Luo Zhenyu will inevitably ask to get rid of this betrayed son, and Zhan Ruilin obviously has no reason to refuse.
It was precisely in this way that Yang Yi told Luo Changsheng that the amnesty decree could not change his fate.
Luo Changsheng was not stupid, and immediately figured out how powerful it was.
"I ...... What am I going to do? ”
"Tell me everything you know, and I'll let you out of here."
Luo Changsheng hesitated, or didn't believe Yang Yi.
"You have no other choice, you have to choose between the amnesty decree signed by Zhan Ruilin and my verbal promise, and you have to make a decision as soon as possible. The fleet of the theater command is approaching and will arrive soon. If you hesitate, no one will be able to save you. After speaking, Yang Yi stood up and prepared to leave.
"Wait......"
As soon as Yang Yi walked to the door, Luo Changsheng made a choice.
"I don't know much, I only know one place where you can find the answer, and that is ......"
Luo Changsheng's words stopped suddenly, and when Yang Yi turned around, he was already lying on the table, his eyes rolling and foaming at the mouth.
Yang Yi immediately rushed forward and grabbed Luo Changsheng's man.
He's still alive, but he only has one breath left, and it looks like he's been hit hard in the brain, and even if he can wake up, he's an idiot with zero IQ.
