Chapter 158: Animal Paradise Project
"Yes! If we can't find it here, then we'll have to look for it in other cities! ”
"What, go somewhere else, that's too dangerous, I'm not going!" Hearing Gongsun Lie say that he would go to other places to search for those cloning equipment, the old cockroach immediately disagreed, after all, there is Guo Dafu here and they send troops to clean up from time to time, so the number of fierce beasts is not much, in other places, the demonized beasts are almost everywhere, and there are even a lot of half-orcs, half-demons and the like who are willing to fall, and the fierce beasts and demons are in the same stream, in short, what demons and monsters have come out, and ordinary people like him will stop eating if they are not careful, That's why he didn't want to venture somewhere else!
Gongsun Lie was also very helpless when he saw this, after all, people didn't want to go, and he couldn't tie them up!
And just as the group was about to approach their destination, they suddenly heard a fight.
Gongsun Lie and another soldier investigated in the early stage and found that it was actually several terrifying caracals besieging a big tiger.
This big tiger looked like it had come out of the zoo, and it didn't have the ferocity of a wild tiger in its eyes, but it looked a little silly.
As a tiger raised in captivity, although this big tiger is more than three meters long, it looks very robust, but the aggressiveness is obviously not enough, facing the siege of those beasts from another world that are much smaller than it, it is completely at a disadvantage, and the body has been made a lot of wounds by those terrifying caracals, and half of the body is dyed red with blood.
On the other hand, those terrifying caracals are like fish in water in the ruins of this city, dexterous, and good at climbing, they jump up and down in the ruins of this complex terrain, and they are elusive, and they are often able to hunt some prey far superior to them by relying on their numerical advantage.
As natives who were also living on the Oran Star, Gongsun Lie and the others were naturally on the side of the big tiger, and when they saw this, they immediately prepared to rescue the other party.
During this time, they also searched for a lot of firearms, but if they were used here, they would be loud and likely to attract other fierce beasts and affect their mission.
Therefore, Gongsun Lie and the others all chose to use bows and arrows to solve the battle, because these soldiers were all innate masters, so before the terrifying caracals could react, they were quickly shot over, and the battle ended in a few seconds.
And Gongsun Lie's ontology in reality still retains the cultivation of the innate realm, although it is not as strong as his original cultivation on the Xuangu Continent, but he also has the strength of the innate triple, so he can participate in this operation.
The big tiger thought that he was going to die, but in the blink of an eye, all the hideous-looking big cats were shot over, which surprised him very much.
It wasn't until Gongsun Lie and the others appeared with bows and arrows that the big tiger had a sense of abruptness.
In the face of these humans, this big tiger did not have the slightest hostility, and even Gongsun Lie had the courage to help the other party with medicine, and this big tiger was also very cooperative, as if he knew that these humans would not harm themselves.
After being given some drugs to stop bleeding, the big tiger roared a few times at Gongsun Lie and the others, and then walked a few steps ahead and turned his head to look at Gongsun Lie and the others, as if he wanted to take them somewhere.
Gongsun Lie and the others saw that it was still early and that there was still plenty of time, so they followed the big tiger for a while, and finally found that the big tiger had actually brought them to their original destination.
"You've been living here all this time?" Gongsun Lie pointed to the ruins of a building in front of him and asked the big tiger with a curious expression.
As if he understood, the big tiger nodded slightly, and then stepped forward to lift a cement slab, revealing an entrance with some faint lights inside.
The old cockroach looked at this entrance, clicked a few times on the microcomputer on his wrist, called up the structure diagram of this biotechnology research institute and compared it, and said to Gongsun Lie and others: "This should be the vent of this research institute, the original exit has been completely blocked because of the collapse of the building, this tiger should have entered and exited from here, it is really smart!" ”
"But there are still lights in here, it seems that some of the equipment is still running normally, you wait for me to check, and by the way, turn off some of the automatic defense equipment inside, lest we accidentally trigger these devices when we go in and be accidentally injured!"
As the old cockroach spoke, he tapped on the microcomputer on his wrist again.
And the big tiger, at this time, was a little impatient, and he got into the vent, this guy is also a big cat, his body is super flexible, and the seemingly small hole actually got into it all at once.
If according to Gongsun Lie's previous temper, he saw that this big cat could enter and exit smoothly, and he would definitely follow in.
But now that he has gone through so many things, he has become much calmer, and he has been waiting outside for the old cockroach to finish operating, and then he led everyone carefully through this vent and entered the inside of this research institute.
According to the old cockroach, this research institute has a nuclear fusion reactor as a backup energy source because of its partial state-owned background, even if the external energy source is cut off, it can also operate independently for decades by relying on this internal backup energy.
Gongsun Lie and the others were very surprised when they heard this, and at the same time, they were also a lot more confident in whether they could find the cloning equipment this time, after all, there was even this nuclear fusion reactor here, and this cloning equipment or something should also be there!
The old cockroach seems to have completely obtained the AI management authority within this institute through the operation just now, and after entering, it only clicked twice, and all the lights in this institute were completely turned on, replacing the previous few faintly lit emergency lights, making the interior bright.
After the lights were turned on, Gongsun Lie and the others found that the researchers here should have been evacuated a long time ago, but the evacuation was in a hurry, and a large pile of paper data that I didn't know anything was left on the ground.
Gongsun Lie couldn't understand a lot of technical terms like a book from heaven on it, but he only understood the title of the top six words - Animal Paradise Project.
Although it is not known what the specific plan of this so-called "Animal Paradise Project" is, Gongsun Lie also guessed that the reason why the big tiger appeared here should be related to this plan.
And just when Gongsun Lie was curious about the internal situation of this research institute, the big tiger appeared again, this time with a large bag of nutrients in his mouth.
This large bag of nutrient blocks contains a full twenty nutrient blocks, each of which is enough for a human to consume energy for a day.
Seeing that the big cat put this bag of nutrient blocks in front of himself and others, Gongsun Lie and the others also saw that this big cat actually wanted to use this as a thank you gift to thank them for saving their lives.
"Good fellow, you're too smart, aren't you? Did you go to college? Where did you find it? Gongsun Lie, the master of animal taming, was completely interested in this big tiger at this time, and squatted down while petting the other party's fluffy cat head, and opened his mouth to ask him.
At this time, the old cockroach on the side replied instead of the big cat: "According to the records I just checked, a large number of nutrient blocks have been hoarded in the warehouse of this research institute, which should exist as emergency food, and this tiger should have found the warehouse, so it has no shortage of food during this time, and it only needs to go out to find some water to survive well!" ”
"No wonder! This guy hasn't lost any weight in this last days! When Gongsun Lie heard the old cockroach's words, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart for the good fortune of this big tiger.
However, what he was most curious about was whether there was any cloning equipment in this research institute that they needed, and he also wanted to know what the so-called "Animal Paradise Project" was and why such a big tiger was raised in this research institute.
The old cockroach faced Gongsun Lie's inquiry, and replied with a smile: "There are really a few sets of cloning equipment, but I don't know what the situation is, and whether it can still operate normally." As for this "Animal Paradise Project", it also has a big background..."
While talking, the old cockroach took Gongsun Lie and the others to the main control room of this research institute, and then opened the monitoring screens inside.
Suddenly, a number of dormant pods of different shapes and sizes appeared in front of them, and looking inside through the transparent hatch, they could see that there were actually different kinds of animals inside. Some of the dormant cabins have flashed red lights, which means that the animals inside have lost their vital signs, so the red lights will be turned on to alert the staff. There was also a dormant pod, the hatch seemed to have been forcibly opened, and judging by the size and shape, it should have been the big tiger that had been stored.
In the past, the demonized beasts and demons had used the 'forbidden magic ball' to interfere with the technological creations on Oran Star, causing the global technological creations to fail in a short period of time, and those dead animals should have died during that time because the life-sustaining devices in the hibernation capsule also failed.
The big tiger, which is as well-behaved as a kitten, should have woken up from its sleep after the device failed, and then broke free from the training pod on its own.
The reason why so many animals are kept in the hibernation pod here is because the research done here is related to these animals.
According to the old cockroach's deduction of the records in this research institute, this "Animal Paradise Project" should actually be regarded as a pre-study of human consciousness uploading to the virtual world, after all, it is too risky to directly experiment with humans, and the opposition of the people will definitely be very strong.
Therefore, in order to accumulate some technical experience first, I am going to experiment with these animals first.
After the consciousness of these animals is uploaded to the virtual world, there will be a primitive world created by researchers for them, without humans.
Animals can live freely here, without worrying about being invaded by humans and not having to worry about being hunted by humans again.
For the animals on Oran, this place is indeed no different from heaven. This is also the origin of the name of the Animal Paradise Project.
And the reason why those researchers want to create such a virtual world for those animals is not only to observe the various reactions of the bodies of those animals after their consciousness has entered the virtual world for a long time, but also to observe whether those animals will be able to develop a civilization on their own without human interference.
In the past, some people often said that if dinosaurs still existed, they would probably have developed their own civilization, and even some modern animals with relatively high IQ had the potential to develop a civilization as high as humans in their eyes.
And these researchers, in order to verify this, specially created such a virtual world, and also collected a large number of different kinds of animals, put their consciousness into this virtual world, and let the animals develop freely.
Originally, this kind of research obviously couldn't get much results in the short term, but the pioneering fleet of Orlan Star discovered the space passage to the other world, which made the other world with extraordinary power and the world where Oran Star is located have a material exchange, so that Orlan Star, which originally had no extraordinary power, was gradually affected, and some extraordinary factors appeared, making this experiment that originally took a long time to observe to obtain some results. In fact, in a short period of time, there were some changes that those researchers did not expect.
