Chapter 134: Clone
A week later, the state-owned Iron Fort Workshop in Elf Town, the first batch of five advanced learning machines built according to Lolita's drawings were sent to the building.
So Juan decided to start the closed beta of The Sims - Brave New World.
He sent invitations based on the contact information stored in the brain chip - all netizens who had rewarded him and Lisa and other Internet celebrities on the entertainment platform before.
"Want to put yourself in the shoes of the exotic life of the beautiful planet?
"Want to get up close and personal with the influencer elves who once touched your heart?
"There's a secret and secure platform here, no need to worry about surveillance, no need to think about being banned.
"So, what are you waiting for? Come on, The Sims - Brave New World welcomes you, free of charge.
"Note: The beta test officially started at 12 noon, and there were only five places in the first phase of the beta, which were randomly assigned among the applicants.
"Others can watch the live stream for free via video, and tipping is allowed."
I don't know if the entertainment platform has been off the air for so long, do those netizens still remember me, will they participate in this event?
While Juan was waiting in the office with apprehension, Yaling came to report on his work:
"Boss, I've explained to the below, all drinks, food, and various services have doubled in price, just waiting for the players to pay."
"Very good, tell them that the service must keep up, regardless of what the humanoid wearing the learning machine hat looks like, it must be received in full accordance with human standards."
"Okay, boss, I'll tell you again."
Shortly after Yaling left, Tyrande hurried in:
"Juan, go and persuade Lolita, this dwarf is getting nervous again......"
Juan interrupted: "Tyrande, don't call Lolita the short, she's a good scientist, you have to respect her." ”
"But she's going to change the plan!"
"What? I've gathered all the players, and she still has to change her plan? Is this dwarf crazy?! ”
Juan ran angrily towards the lab.
On the way, Tyrande, who followed him, teased, "I heard you." ”
"What did you hear?"
"You call her shorty."
"No, you heard me wrong."
"You called."
"No, that's your auditory hallucination."
"I don't have auditory hallucinations, my mental strength is very strong."
"You've been with Crusu for too long, you've been infected by it."
"Chirp"
A small pink octopus poked out of the placket of Tyrande's chest.
Only three of its eight tentacles remain.
Tyrande thumbed down and pressed Crusu into the ditch again.
Juan gasped and asked, "Does the advanced version of the learning machine have to use Cruso's tentacles?" ”
"Yes, to achieve complete control over the wearer's mind, at the time of the learning machine, it is necessary to provide additional stimulation, and Cruso's unspeakable horror is able to do this effectively."
"But Crusoe is the only one, can't he always cut his tentacles like this?"
"Don't worry, it's still good to regenerate."
"I'm worried about it complaining."
"No, Crusu is voluntary." Tyrande bowed his head and said, "Krusu, you voluntarily traded your tentacles for the opportunity to do the Olympiad paper, right?" ”
"Chirp"
Tyrande's chest came the happy chirping of the little octopus Crusoe.
This Stockholm Syndrome patient seems to be hopeless.
Juan, who was still thinking crankily in his head, pushed open the door of the laboratory:
"Shorty, I heard...... Sorry, I didn't open the door the right way, please allow me to do it again. ”
Juan, who had obediently withdrawn, pulled his tie after standing still, and then knocked politely on the door.
Then he carefully pushed open the door and said politely, "Beautiful Miss Lolita, may I disturb you?" ”
The room was empty.
"Huh, what about people?"
Juan uses his brain chip to connect to the building's surveillance and finds Lolita in the lobby on the ground floor.
Juan immediately ran down the hall.
"I heard it this time." Tyrande catches up.
"No, you're still hallucinating."
"I recorded."
"Your access to the portable projector has been revoked."
"You!"
"Give you another chance and know what to do."
"Count you ruthless!"
Juan, who came to the lobby of the ground floor, saw Lolita speaking:
"I repeat, experiments are risky, and I can't guarantee that your brains won't be broken by humans. It's too late to quit. ”
Opposite Lolita were not all Moon Elf students, but Moon Elves, Tree Elves, Dwarves, Halflings, one male and one female.
Tyrande grabbed Juan's arm and complained: "See, I have selected all the students of the Moon Elves, and they are all strictly selected through the examination, which is absolutely fair and just."
"But Lolita actually overturned the selection results and introduced people other than the Moon Elf students without authorization, she is pulling the relationship through the back door, and it is a wrong act that violates the spirit of equality under the Grand Alliance Charter!"
"Don't button my hat!" Lolita turned to Juan, "I need a more diverse range of test subjects, which will help refine the functionality of the learning machine." ”
Juan had already understood, and he said with a straight face: "Lolita, I support your scientific research ......"
Tyrande interjected, "But equal......"
Juan pressed Tyrande and whispered, "Do you only want five learning machines, or do you want more?" ”
Tyrande closed his mouth.
Juan addressed the candidates: "It's admirable to dedicate yourself to scientific experiments, but I still want to make sure, are you voluntary?" ”
All the candidates nodded, "I volunteered." ”
"Very well, is anyone going to quit? This is not shameful, don't make a regrettable choice for the sake of face. I repeat, I respect your voluntary choice. ”
All the candidates shook their heads and said, "I volunteered to participate in the experiment, and I don't regret it." ”
Juan was delighted and he exclaimed:
"When you are commanded by humans, you will have the same habits of thought and behavior as humans, and even if humans end commanding, these habits of thought and behavior will remain in your minds.
"I'm sure Lolita and Tyrande have already told you this."
All the candidates nodded.
Juan continued: "I call this condition 'cloning,' not physical cloning, but mental cloning.
"Once you have cloned your mind, you will not be the same as you were.
"You will no longer be moon elves, tree elves, dwarves, and halflings, but new humanoids with human habits of thought and behavior.
"I call you: 'Clones'!
"In my capacity as the head of Brave New World, I declare: clones, in Brave New World, will enjoy the same treatment as human beings.
"Not just in experiments, but permanently, enjoying the same treatment as humans!"
"Whew~!" "Oh yes!" "Mom, I'm going to be a man! Did you see that? I'm going to be a man! "Long live the human race!" ……
The candidates erupted in a burst of cheers.
The eyes of the onlookers around the hall were red.
They shouted, "I'm going to join too!" I'm going to be a man too! ”
Juan raised his voice and shouted: "Don't worry, wait for more learning machines to be produced, and each of you will have a chance!" ”
As a result, almost all of them began to cheer: "We have a chance to be human!" ”
However, there were also months when the elven students were shouting, "It's not fair! Their opportunity was meant to be mine! I'm supposed to be the first clone! ”
But their voices were drowned out by the wild shouts of many humans.
