Chapter 245: Lack of Heart
Cornelies' question silenced both Shu Yungui and Lu Ting.
In the traditional concept of human beings, the heart and brain seem to be the manifestation of a person's survival, and after the continuous development of medical technology, human beings can already accept whole-body transplantation, including heart transplantation, but in terms of brain transplantation, even if there is no problem in medical technology, it is still difficult to cross this hurdle in people's concepts.
There are still some people who can't accept brain transplantation in the Hope Star Field, which is so technologically advanced, not to mention that in the ninth star, which is extremely backward in technology, Corneerys may not have been exposed to modern medicine since birth, let alone let her undergo up to 85% of the replacement surgery of the whole body of a living person in a short period of time.
"I don't know what you said, 'From what point he understood and explained it, but from a medical point of view, all the tissues we used to replace your cousin's body were extracted from your cousin's own cells and cloned, and they have exactly the same biological genetic sequence as your cousin, and can be regarded as a part of your cousin."
Lu Ting explained to Cornelies: "Cloning technology has appeared as early as the ancient earth, and has successfully passed the certification of the Human Science and Technology Ethics Development Committee, this technology has long been perfected, and the use of its own cell cloning can also avoid rejection, although your cousin's replacement rate is higher, and the risk of surgery is there, but this is also the only way for him to live."
Cornelys looked at the data on the monitor in his hand that she understood, and asked with a heaving chest, "What...... After replacing the heart and brain, can he still remember the past? Do you know who you are?"
Lu Ting glanced at Shu Yungui, turned off the display device in his hand, and said, "Generally speaking, after the brain cell is cloned, all memories will be erased, and he will return to the state of a newborn, but you don't have to worry too much, we will extract memories for him before his operation, load them into a chip, and transplant them together when he performs a brain transplant, this chip will carry all his previous memories."
As soon as she heard this, Cornelys's face turned white, and Lu Ting didn't know why she had such a big reaction, and was about to ask if she was unwell, but there was a call bell in the examination room, and the nurse signaled that Finn Laurener wanted to see them.
After only one night, Finn Laure's body deteriorated at a visible rate, he was no longer able to move, the life support system next to him showed that he was suffering from heart failure, and the nurse gave him a cardiopulmonary maintenance patch, which could ensure that he could complete the first aid in time when he suffered a cardiac arrest, but for Finn Laurell lying in bed, the dignified king could only lie on the hospital bed with a tube inserted in his last moments to weakly repent of his crimes.
This is extremely undignified, Shu Yun returned it to him and pressed the quilt on him, barely covering his *** body.
"I know you have a lot of questions."
Looking at Shu Yungui's eyes, gratitude flashed, and Finn Laurener said, "Before I die, if you have any questions, just hurry up and ask."
Cornelys could not ask anywhere, so she could only sit in her chair and hide her face and cry bitterly, and all the inquiry work fell on Shu Yungui.
"When did you first get into contact with the Muse?"
The question was crucial, Shu Yungui's decision not to want Corneerys to leave the city was all a lie that originated from her cousin, which would make all the dangers she suffered meaningless, but the answer to the question was not what he wanted.
Finn Laurener sighed deeply, raised his hand and touched the top of Cornelys' head, "The first time I came into contact with that thing, I think it was in ...... More than twenty years ago."
More than twenty years?!
This news really shocked Shu Yungui, he thought that Finn Lauren, even if he was the first person to contact the Muse in the ninth star, would not be much earlier, but he didn't expect this question to push the time to more than twenty years ago.
"It was the reign of the twenty-second monarch, and he ordered the removal of the power core in the immigration ship, and I was the vanguard officer sent by the royal family to carry out the mission, in fact, in retrospect, that mission went well, we found the sleeping place, found the immigration ship, and dismantled the power without a hitch
core."
"Everything should have happened when we left the ship, I stepped on the air and fell, according to the people around me, I fell not far from the ground, but my head was knocked out, and I was in a coma for a long time, and in the coma, I think I saw the muse for the first time." Look at the book
Without Shu Yungui's reminder, Lu Ting immediately stood up, and he carefully examined Finn Lauren's skull, and found a five-centimeter-long scar in the center of his head.
He immediately pulled up a layer-by-layer scan of Fein Laurell's brain on the monitor, and sure enough, he found a tiny chip in the parietal lobe, so small that he almost thought it was a speck of dust on the screen.
"It seems that it was at that time that the chip floating inside the ship entered your brain, but now it's not clear if your high fall was an accident or a deliberate act by the muse."
Shu Yungui asked, "What image does the muse have in your mind?"
Finn Laurener shook his head slightly, and said, "To be precise, it has no image, because I have never seen it at all, only the sweet dreams it provides me, it is a peaceful world, there are no orcs, no conflict, everything is the way it was before the war."
"If it's just a sweet dream, how can you be sure that you first encountered the Muse at that time?"
"I didn't know, I always thought it was just a dream, I fought hard to get the ninth star back to its pre-war appearance, but everything still deteriorated irreversibly, and I had no choice but to build the inner and outer cities, and I still didn't realize that our worst enemies weren't orcs at all."
"Until two years ago, when my health was getting worse and worse, and the republicans suddenly announced that they would take over the throne, and I couldn't get into a heated argument with Jeffrey, and I was placed under house arrest that night, and then that night I had another dream in which I was freed from human flesh and blood, and my consciousness was free to go anywhere."
"In that dream, I saw the words left by the muse, saying, 'The electronicization of humanity is the end of human development, and it guides me and makes me determined to work for the electronicization of the whole people, so that the people of the ninth star no longer live in the fear of orcs.'"
Shu Yungui stood at the end of the bed and asked, "At that time, didn't you realize the changes in your body?"
Finn Laurener still shook his head and said, "I thought it was a revelation from the gods, and since then I have been dreaming frequently, in which it tells me what to do, I have bought off my guards, contacted some former ministers, and sent them out to find the immigration ship and the power core under the pretext of activating the second interstellar migration, but in fact, it is to reload the power core back into the immigration spaceship, restart the intelligent mastermind, and release the muse."
"Corneerys and the Scout Team are just one of the many men you've sent out during this time, right?"
"Yes, the wilderness is too dangerous, at that time, the muse has not yet evolved the ability to control the orcs, and there is no so-called orc leader, and the people I sent out basically died on the way to the mission, this consumption is so huge that there are no people available around me at all, until that night, Corneerys climbed into my courtyard wall......
Cornelies, who had been crying silently, looked up at him with red eyes.
"Originally, I really didn't want to send her out, she was just a little girl, and going out of the city was to send her to death, but I don't know if I was carried away by the muse all the time, or if the muse controlled my mind at that moment, I still lied to her, I didn't expect Corneerys to really go out of the inner city alone in order to help me, and I didn't expect her to really find the immigration spaceship and power core."
Cornelys sobbed and asked, "So, when did you take away the power core?"
Finn Laurener coughed, "Just before you arrived at the Monroe Observatory, the Coexistence faction cooperated with the Harvey boss in the outer city to bring back the metallurgical machine, and the pilot was replaced by my men, there were three helicopters in total, and they had obtained the power core before they went to the Lacroning Alchemy, and after you left the alchemy field, the power core was temporarily placed in the alchemy field."
"Aren't you going to reinstall the power core back into the immigrant ship? Why not straight
Take the place of sleep, and put the power core in the Lacroning alchemy field?"
Shu Yungui saw the problem at a glance and said, "You don't believe in the muse 100%, do you?"
A pleased smile appeared on the corner of Finn Lauren's lips, and he said, "That's right, although it showed me a beautiful dream, after all, I haven't seen with my own eyes what 'human beings will become after digitization, at first I just thought, flesh and blood are weak, since the ninth star has reached this point, it seems that all the electronic people are also a way out."
"But when I really came to this point, I hesitated, because I really didn't know if the code in the electronic world was still me, and the orc leader appeared on the ninth star during that time, I was worried that the muse would betray me and cooperate with the Coexistence Faction, so I lied that I didn't find the power core, and hid things for the time being."
He coughed and laughed, with a relaxed look on his face, and closed his eyes, "After you came back, I saw with my own eyes the appearance of that young man from the outer city who was driven by an electrical circuit after his death, I was scared and regretted, I was worried that I and all the people of the Ninth Star would be reduced to that appearance, and become a weapon for the Muse to invade the next planet."
"You think of your people now? When everyone is risking their lives and spilling their blood for your lies, and you betray them, are you worthy of those who die in vain because of your lies?"
Shu Yungui clenched his fists, he gritted his teeth, and was not moved by Finn Lauren's confession.
"Yes, I'm really sorry for them, and I've been thinking all this time that if I could be more determined, be a king who fights for the ninth star until the last moment, or be a downright bad guy, my heart will be much easier than it is now.
Finn Laurener looked up and smiled bitterly, a tear quickly sliding down the corner of his eye.
"But it is precisely because my good and evil are not pure enough, I want to live long enough, and I want to be famous in history, and the human heart is not enough to swallow elephants, this is the reason why I failed."
