Chapter 368: The Expedition's Black Technology?

While drugs have been developed that will keep everyone on their team alive, that doesn't mean Dr. Neville is retiring or that he doesn't need to be in charge of a new project.

Conversely, since several of their projects required technical support in bioengineering, Dr. Neville had several new research projects a long time ago.

They have been secretly working on this for more than a year, and now Dr. Neville has six key projects in the third phase.

If the last batch of animals in this phase can be successful, then these projects can start human clinical trials. In that case, it will not be far from being put into service.

"How's it going on with No. 147?" We may need this technology soon......" Shen Chao asked after a few casual words with Dr. Neville, his tone a little impatient.

Because this 147th plan is probably the most important of their six major biological plans in the past year.

Several other bio-reality programs are designed to enhance the human body, such as strength, speed, resistance to hits, hibernation adaptation, ability implantation and enhancement, and so on.

Only this program is about the strengthening of the human nervous system and interference with the higher functions of the brain. Involves memory manipulation of higher mammals.

From a moral point of view, the goal of intervention set out in this plan is very controversial. So it took several group meetings for them to finally get through the implementation of the plan.

"Well, it's hard to explain the specific situation, you have to see for yourself, we have to go to the real yàn room......" Dr. Neville thought about it and it was difficult to directly explain the latest progress of the real yàn, so he decided to take Shen Chao to his real yàn room to explain again.

He handed over his management to another doctor, and then took Shen Chao out of the hospital and returned to the biological area on the ring of the space station zero. After passing by several test benches in the real yàn district. They arrived at the gates of the quarantine zone.

They paused for a moment, put on their hazmat suits, and then entered the chamber together. It is home to a variety of important biological samples that they have collected since the team began their crossing.

T virus, G virus, KV virus, and a highly infectious virus named DSH virus strain recently collected from the first exile plane.

In addition to these deadly microbial bodies. The cold storage here also contains a large number of plant samples that are not found in the main plane, including the Blood Orchid. Many of these originate from two planes used to exile prisoners.

Another cold storage next door also contains samples of extraterrestrial intelligent life such as Krogan, Asare, and Salare, who have come into contact with them. These samples are an important part of the development of a number of bioaugmentation technologies at the same time.

After changing into chemical suits, they entered the quarantine area, walked through the long corridor of storage boxes, and finally stopped in front of a storage box numbered 8193.

Dr. Neville entered the code on the control panel on the wall and opened the box. Then he took out the two metal boxes inside.

After getting the box, they carried the box back to the test bench in the outer room, and opened the metal box after carefully disinfecting the box and themselves.

As a result, the two boxes contained a total of 6 monkeys that had long been frozen into popsicles! Monkey to be exact. Each monkey has a tag with a number around its neck. The numbers range from 1 to 6 and are the real yàn numbers of the monkeys.

"They're still alive, aren't they?" Shen Chao looked at the row of monkey "corpses" in front of him that were as firm as fresh frozen meat, and asked uncertainly.

At this time, the monkeys that appeared in front of them appeared to have no signs of life at all. It's like any frozen fish in a supermarket's cold storage, with frost on it. It was very different from the real body of the guinea pig he saw in the previous experimental stage.

However, although it was strange, Shen Chao was not particularly surprised, because Dr. Neville had also explained to him why their important reality was frozen in the freezer when he came just now.

It turned out that the initial stage of this real yàn project has been very successful. At this stage, the projected goal has been achieved. So for the past half a month, Dr. Neville has been conducting stress resistance and adaptability tests on the real yàn body.

That is, the monkeys who have already passed the guò early stage are put into all kinds of harsh environments. See if the impact of the environment will cancel out or affect the previous real impact.

"Well, hopefully the thawing will work......" Dr. Neville replied with an unreliable reply, then carefully placed the frozen monkey "carcasses" into a nearby oven-like device.

A few minutes later, when he turned on the "oven" again, all six monkeys had been safely thawed. All alive, but still in a coma.

After placing the unconscious monkeys in six side-by-side compartments, they waited for a while, and when the monkeys were all awake, Dr. Neville began to show his results.

I saw him take out a bunch of puzzle blocks that were originally designed for young children to play with, and send these blocks to the monkeys in each compartment, and then he took out a big picture and a bunch of bananas, and danced to signal these monkeys to pile up a castle.

Something magical happened, and all the monkeys quickly understood what he meant, and quickly began to build the castle, only to see them pick up the blocks and put them together as shown in the picture.

After a few minutes, all the monkeys piled up the castle with the blocks in their hands, and the fastest was the monkey numbered 2, which took less than 2 minutes to complete the construction of the castle, which is faster than the average 3 or 4-year-old child. And even the slowest monkey was able to build the blocks in just 6 minutes. It's a normal human child!

It should be noted that just over a month ago, there was only one monkey here who had been trained by Dr. Neville to know how to build complex structures out of blocks, and not very fast.

"Did you succeed?" Shen Chao saw this and turned his head to ask Dr. Neville next to him. Though he seemed sure, he wanted to hear Dr. Neville confirm his thoughts.

If his speculation is correct, then Dr. Neville has been able to implant memories partially derived from the monkey's body 2 into the brains of other monkeys. This allows the other monkeys to master the same skills as 2.

By upgrading this technology, they may be able to develop the same technology for humans, allowing them to train junior technicians in large quantities.

"That's right, it was successful, I successfully transplanted some of the skill memories of the No. 2 ape real yàn body to other real yàn bodies. The other monkeys now have the ability to place complex bricks......" Dr. Neville said in a less optimistic tone, as if he had failed.

"Are there any side effects?" Shen Chao asked cautiously.

"No, at least not for the time being, all the real yàn bodies have normal physiological characteristics after being implanted with memories, but the disadvantages of this implantation method are still the same as those of the previous stage...... Dr. Neville shook his head and introduced.

Of course, this method of memory implantation is not perfect, and although the actual body of the implanted memory seems to have the same abilities as the individual who originally mastered the skill, the gap between the two in terms of proficiency and depth of understanding is still very large.

For example, the fastest of the monkeys just now is the first monkey to be trained to master the skills of building blocks, and the efficiency of placing blocks has been greatly improved in the past week or so.

On the other hand, after being implanted with some of the memories of Monkey 2, they learned new skills, but their subsequent progress was small.

Although they can lay out the blocks, their efficiency has barely improved after practice. There are also a few monkeys that show a downward trend in efficiency.

After multiple tests, Dr. Neville confirmed that the other monkeys were in fact only mechanically receiving some of Monkey 2's memories.

Because it is not the ability that you have obtained through conventional cognitive channels, it is not only difficult to continue to improve the proficiency of skills, but also easy to form a fixed posture of thinking machinery, which is not conducive to the absorption of new knowledge.

After learning about these drawbacks, Shen Chao understood why Dr. Neville was not optimistic about this technology for the time being, and this technology could not be used for humans until new technical support and breakthroughs were obtained.

After determining that the perfect memory transplantation technology could not be achieved in the short term, Shen Chao did not have much regret, the shortcomings of the number of technical talents were not their biggest deficiency for the time being, and they still had time to solve this problem.

Now he can focus on expanding the size of his direct army. In order for several Category A members of the team to realize their aspirations as soon as possible, they must build a starfleet.

After the fleet is completed, it can send several planes with low aerospace technology to directly deter and solve the problem by force. Of course, the specific way to do it depends on the opinions of the remaining people.

Of course, it is definitely not easy to build a starfleet, and he has a battleship, and when he takes over the property of the shadow broker, he also takes over the other party's fleet.

However, there are almost no personnel to operate warships reliably and subordinate to their jurisdiction. That's why they didn't come back with more warships before. Without sufficient support for operation and maintenance personnel, the more warships, the greater the burden.

Two days later, the main members of the expedition reunited on the Budapest for their latest journey. Since they had previously announced their own existence and had already recruited some new peripheral members, there were more people when they set off this time. (To be continued.) )
