Chapter 266: An Unexpected Meeting
Shen Chao seemed to be wandering aimlessly around the city before, but in fact he was trying to find out the plot points in the city, and now he had done this and marked the location on the map he bought an hour ago.\\
Now, he's going to integrate other important information into this map. Alice had gone to the police station to gather some important information, and as they had expected, the security system in this world was very backward.
There wasn't even a decent alarm in the police station. Alice used her stolen identity to enter the archives very smoothly, and then easily got the text they needed.
Dr. Neville brought back from the library many of the world's most important books, biology, physics, and materials science...... All of them are public, but some of them are books related to the main plane.
At this point, Dr. Neville was quickly flipping through the books, sorting them, and taking pictures of them to make sure they didn't bring a bunch of useless books back to the main plane.
Shen Chao and Alice studied a batch of character files that she had just gotten not long ago. There are movie protagonists, and there are also the replicants they are looking for.
"So, this Roy is a rebel leader? Shen Chao asked after sitting on the sofa and reading the thick information in his hand. He asked about a replicant who was very important in the movie. The leader of this squad of replicants in the movie.
The movie doesn't introduce much about Roy's background. They only know that this replicant led a small group of replicants back to Earth in search of more life. Their natural lifespan is nearing its end.
But what is not shown in the movie is that Roy has an official rank in the rebel army and has a certain appeal, and the government is so nervous to urge the police department to find him after learning that he has returned to Earth.
"That's right, 9 months ago, he led more than 200 replicants to riot in the Cartier colony, snatched 3 ships, and then ran to the rebel-held area. Alice replied as she sat on the couch and sorted out a dozen of them.
These texts detail a number of "rebellions" related to Roy, with his armed fleet of replicants attacking the Far Colonies and stealing supplies. Liberate their fellow replicants......
"How long does he have to live?" Shen Chao asked.
"Well, according to the design life, he should be dead by now!" Alice raised an eyebrow as she said this, and she was a little surprised by the result. As she spoke, she handed the information to Shen Chao.
Among these materials is the design number jรน of the replicant of Roy's model, which is the most advanced military model, and all the numbers jรน are very long. But according to the date of production, his life should indeed have ended 1 month ago.
"Then why is he still alive?" Shen Chao is also very strange to see this, there is no such thing in the movie.
"Their lifespan is determined by the number of cell divisions. 4 years is estimated based on their normal cell division rate, and it is not particularly unusual that the time of death hovers around the month before and after. โ
Dr. Neville interjected, and he didn't even look back, still holding a few tomes on the table next to him to nibble on the new knowledge inside.
"I still don't understand, why didn't they stay in rebel territory, why did they run back to die? Alice asked.
"According to these descriptions, these duplicants will have a clear aura in the weeks leading up to their death. Dizziness, nausea, trembling limbs......"
"They probably felt these signs, or saw their friends die of life, and in desperation ventured back to Earth to try to find a way to extend their lives......"
Speaking of which. Dr. Neville turned his head, as a life-saving doctor, he was more sympathetic to these replicants.
"Are they human, then?" I mean, biologically? At this time, Shen Chao was asking.
"Of course, according to Taylor, although the organs of their bodies are genetically designed, they are indeed 100% human.
Respiratory, neurological, lymphatic ...... It's all human. There is no microchip or anything......" Dr. Neville replied in the affirmative after looking at the information at hand.
"That's good......" Shen Chao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he had a certain risk in the recruitment plan of replicants this time, but the potential benefits were also very large.
If Dr. Neville's newly developed potion is useful to the replicants, the world could become an important source of soldiers for them in the future. The physiological numbers of these replicants are too much stronger than ordinary people.
While they were sorting out the data, a research institute affiliated with a private aerospace company dozens of kilometers away, Custer and Jonathan also began to steal the data.
Their goal was to steal all the important technical information stored in the research institute that specialized in the development of the ship's curvature engine.
"The defense here is too lax. Could it be an illusion? Jonathan asked Custer next to him while looking at the buildings in the distance with a telescope. He had a bad premonition.
They were now far away from the city, and the two of them were lying on a hill observing the research institute in the distance, and judging from the previous scans of the drones they released, the security level here was not high.
With less than 100 armed guards and limited automated defenses and alarms, the entire institute did not look at all like the high-level security they were in the image of.
"There's a risk. But it doesn't matter. Castermin replied expressionlessly, expecting no fluctuations, as if he didn't care at all about the danger of being there.
"Aren't you worried? โ
"What are you worried about, you're the only one who will sneak in for a while anyway. As he spoke, Custer brought his backpack closer.
"What, aren't you helping?" โ
"Don't you want to get higher permissions?" This is your chance, I'll help you keep an eye on the outside......" Custer had already turned on his folded sniper rifle at this point, making it clear that it would only provide remote support.
"I" Jonathan thought in her heart, she finally understood what Shen Chao meant when he sued him before and had to be recognized by everyone.
That means that he has to be tested by everyone and complete them one by one, simply put, he will have to help others with chores from time to time for a long time to come.
Meanwhile, in a shadowy corner of the city in the distance, Deca has begun his own hunt for the replicants. He's a seasoned hunter, and he doesn't have the lazy energy of the movies at all.
He first went to the headquarters of Taylor Corporation to try to find out why the group of replicants wanted to infiltrate the company that made them.
Here, he meets the founder of Taylor Corporation and conducts an empathy test on a replicant. This is their primary method of testing replicating humans with a short lifespan.
Later, he went to investigate the residence of the replicant who had previously injured another police officer. Found quite a few photos and a handful of notes that might be useful.
He followed the few pitiful clues in his hand to get closer to the 4 replicants who were still alive, and after officially receiving the case, it took him only 3 hours to find his first target, Zorra, who was working in a nightclub at this time.
Not all replicants are coming back in search of more life, this female replicant just wants to try the life of ordinary people on Earth, and see what the life of ordinary people is like before she dies.
However, it didn't matter what she was doing when she came back, at least Deka didn't care about her hunting, he just wanted to verify her identity and then execute her.
He was standing on the corner of the street, and after confirming the address, the indifferent Blade Runner crossed the road in the rain and entered the nightclub that was open.
He didn't know that Shen Chao had also arrived at this time. He had brought Dr. Neville and Alice with him.
As a very easy location to find, he had already confirmed the location of this nightclub when he had scouted the city before. Speaking of which, although the city is decadent, there are indeed many entertainment institutions, and there are many small nightclubs of this size.
Although in Shen Chao's opinion, there are only two people in the whole movie who may have the value of recruitment, this dancer is obviously not one of them. But he came here first, because if he found this dancer, he would be able to find his true purpose.
After arriving at the destination, Shen Chao asked Dr. Neville and Alice to stand guard at the front and back doors to prepare for them, while he himself entered the nightclub alone to find their target, and he didn't know that Deca was also entering the nightclub through the front door.
After entering the backstage area, Shen Chao began to search for his target, there were a lot of people here, dancers, makeup artists, and miscellaneous ...... A typical chaotic backstage.
Shen Chao moved carefully in this small space to avoid being discovered the few weapons he was carrying. As a result, before he could find the replicant dancer, he saw Deca, who had run backstage and was looking for someone.
Seeing this, he immediately hid in an inconspicuous corner on the side, avoiding his sight. Now that he has caught up with the plot, he doesn't need to bother to find it himself. Deka will help him locate his targets.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, Deka found their common goal, the dancing girl with the fake snake on her body, and he followed the dancing girl into the room. Shen Chao also put down the newspaper when he saw this, and walked towards the room.
He wasn't going to interfere with the interaction of the two people inside immediately, because he wanted to get a feel for their basic combat power before approaching these replicants.
The door was not locked, and Shen Chao saw that a miniature camera was sent into the crack of the door, and then returned to the corner where no one was around, and opened the universal tool to observe the situation inside.
Decca is worthy of being the elite of Blade Runner, and when it comes to verifying the identity of a female replicant at close range, he shows his strong acting talent, disguising himself as a guild member and talking to the other party......)
