Chapter 625: The Origin of the Treasure Box System

"You want to clone her?"

The face of the terminal is displayed on the huge electronic screen, which looks a little weird after the proportion is distorted.

"Yes, can it be done?" Li Zheng nodded, the attitude of the terminal made him feel uncertain.

The terminal pondered for a moment, and a large number of data streams flashed on the display screen, as if calculating the feasibility of this matter: "Cloning a dead person, there is no precedent for success in the outer city, but I can try it, as long as I can extract it from her body Find surviving cellular tissues."

Li Zheng's eyes lit up: "So, there is at least a fifty percent possibility?"

"It's not that high." The terminal was sullen and not optimistic about the prospects: "Do you know why cloning technology was once popular in outer cities, but no one has successfully cloned dead people?

Because this kind of thing has violated the basic rules, the dead cannot be resurrected by any means, unless the backhand is left before death, and even then, when the life comes to an end, the backhand left will be invalid.

But anyway, let me try it first, you put her coffin on the platform over there, and I'll look to see if there are any active cells left in her body. "

The ground on Li Zheng's left side bulged, and a platform rose up, just enough to place the crystal coffin of Yanguang.

Put the coffin into the capsule residence and put it on the platform again. The terminal sends an instruction, the platform slowly descends, sinks into the ground, and a floor pops up on each side to restore the ground to its original state.

"You have been transformed into a very advanced place. Everywhere is an organ." Li Zheng was very envious. Before, the terminal had released a large number of counters with dangerous goods, which also rose from the ground, indicating that there is an unknown size below the center. All areas are under the jurisdiction of the terminal.

"It's okay, I usually need to do a lot of experiments, so the transformation is more thorough." The terminal glanced at Li Zheng vigilantly. He was very clear about this kid's behavior of demolishing his house in the matrix, and he was worried that Li Zheng would put him here. dismantled.

Fortunately, Li Zheng didn't have such an idea, but skipped the topic and asked: "You said just now that you have never tried to clone a dead person, but you have been a terminal for many years, right? Don't we have our original body yet? die?"

"Strictly speaking, from the moment I became a terminal, our body was considered dead." The terminal explained: "It's just that I preserved the body with special means, and there is still a weak activity left. So far, it has been After a few years, I can't even tell, my body can't hold it anymore, and when I completely lose my activity, I won't be able to produce clones anymore."

"I can't produce anymore?" Li Zheng's eyes moved: "Am I still here? Can I continue to grow clones with my cells?"

"I knew you would ask this kind of topic." The terminal gave an expression I had expected long ago: "The cells in our bodies are not eggs, how can it be possible to achieve chicken-and-egg, egg-laying, endless cycle, endless cycle. also?

As early as when the first clone was born, I have done related experiments, although I can't explain the specific principles to you, because it takes too long, and there are too many professional terms, and you may not understand it.

So long story short...

In a nutshell, the cells of the clone, or the DNA chain, have a layer of things that even I can't decipher. As long as there is such a thing, any cells taken out of the clone can't be cloned again. "

Li Zheng nodded thoughtfully: "Can it be understood that the will of the universe does not allow life to be "immortal" by this tricky method, so this restriction is attached to life?"

"It can be understood." The terminal said: "When the clone was first born, the memory was blank, and I have already mastered the means to instill memory into this blank piece of paper. If someone instills the clone into the clone by constantly cloning itself and frequently updating the memory. , it is indeed possible to achieve an alternative immortality.”

Li Zheng thought about it for a while, and then asked another question: "If... I mean, if someone copies his memory and pastes it into the head of a newborn baby, can he achieve a similar effect of 'immortality'? "

"Like the 'house grab' mentioned in the novel?"

The terminal pondered for a moment and replied, "It's almost impossible, the newly born head is very fragile and cannot hold a lot of memory information.

It's like a 256GB hard drive and you're trying to transfer 10TB of content into it.

Forcing it will only cause too much data flow impact, breaking the baby's mind and turning it into a fool. "

Seeing that Li Zheng still had questions, before he could speak, the terminal said first: "Even if the target of indoctrination is changed to adults, even if adults can withstand the impact of a large number of memories at this time, there are other limitations.

Because an adult already has his own self-consciousness, and complete memory is the embodiment of clear consciousness, just like a computer with an operating system installed, you install another operating system into it, and the final result is either the installation fails. , or the processor has a huge workload, which eventually leads to paralysis. "

"Well..." The terminal paused and added: "There is also a possibility that it will become a dual system to work alternately, and the two consciousnesses alternately control the body, similar to..."

Li Zheng took over: "Schizophrenia?"

"Multiple personality disorder, to be precise," the terminal corrected: "Schizophrenia and multiple personality are literally completely different and cannot be confused."

Schizophrenia can also be understood as the division of mental power into several pieces, which does not necessarily mean that there are several different consciousnesses.

"Okay, you're quite sincere." Li Zheng shrugged indifferently, he just asked curiously, anyway, he didn't know anything about cloning, so it was just a story.

"It's rigorous!" The terminal corrected again: "Science is rigorous. If you use an inappropriate word, the final conclusion is far different? So it must be rigorous!"

Li Zheng had a black line on his head and waved his hand: "Okay, okay, you are right."

At this time, the terminal's expression changed: "You are lucky, I just found some weakly active cells from the girl's bones, but the activity is too weak, and other means need to be used to stimulate and enhance the activity of these cells, and then the cloning plan can be started. ."

"Really?!" Li Zheng was shocked: "That's great!"

The terminal ignored his joy and poured a pot of cold water down: "Don't be too happy, it is difficult to ensure that the extracted cell activity will completely disappear during this process, and whether the cloning will be successful is still unknown."

Li Zheng's eyes were firm: "At least there is hope!"

"Very slim..." The terminal muttered: "The next experiment can't be done in a day or two. Even if it is confirmed that these cells can be used for cloning, it will take a long time until the clones are mature. Go back, I'll let you know when I have news."

Waiting here is not the answer, it's just a waste of time.

"That's right!" Just before the terminal was about to send Li Zheng out, he suddenly remembered something, took out a long colored glass knife, opened his fingers, and squeezed out a drop of blood: "You must have a lot of equipment here, can you test it for me?"

"Is it necessary?" The terminal glanced at the blood on Li Zheng's finger. Just as he was about to refuse, his face suddenly moved: "It is necessary!"

The fingers that were only opened a second ago have already begun to heal at this time. This kind of strange recovery ability is not given to Li Zheng by the terminal.

A piece popped up on the side wall of the computer and stretched out to become a robotic arm. The front of the robotic arm was a straw like a syringe, which stretched over to take the blood from Li Zheng's hand.

Looking at it again at this time, the incision has been completely healed and recovered as before.

If I hadn't watched Li Zheng open his fingers with his own eyes, he would never have imagined that a slit had been cut there.

"What's the matter with your recovery ability?" The terminal was amazed: "Except for those twisted creatures in the gluttony crime realm, I have never found such a terrifying natural recovery ability in any living body!"

Such a powerful recovery ability, of course, is because there is still a little residual effect of Xisui Dan in Li Zheng's body.

Previously, the body was propped up by mental power, and it was these residual medicinal effects that helped restore it to the original, otherwise Li Zheng would still be like porcelain, with cracks all over his body.

When this residue is completely absorbed, Li Zheng's body strength will be further improved, but then the wound will not be able to heal as quickly as it is now.

Unless he takes another pill of the same.

If you want to get another cleansing pill, is it easier said than done?

Only one super-god-level treasure chest is given. Li Zheng has only opened two super-god-level treasure chests today, and one of them was upgraded using the delayed extraction function.

I don't know when to wait for the next super god-level treasure chest, and I'm even more uncertain about what can be opened in it.

That's why Li Zheng took advantage of the fact that he didn't fully absorb the efficacy of the medicine in his body, and gave a little blood for the terminal to test. As long as he knew the composition of Xisui Dan, he might be able to reproduce it.

"Don't you know all my movements?" Li Zheng looked at the terminal with a little deep meaning, and the corner of his mouth raised a strange arc.

Everything that happened in the matrix could not escape the monitoring of the terminal. Li Zheng didn't believe that the movement of opening the treasure box could be hidden from him.

Sure enough, after he said this, the expression of the terminal became calm: "I wanted to pretend not to know, so you don't think about it, but you still found out."

"Zhan Zhouzhou said that I used to be a bit stupid, I don't deny it, because I think back on some of the actions I have done now and feel naive." Li Zheng shrugged and said, "But even though I am a clone, I will grow, right? It's just a little detail, how could it not be found?"

The terminal was silent for a few seconds and asked, "Aren't you curious, where did that thing come from?"

Li Zheng looked at the big face on the screen: "Will you tell me?"

"Why not?"

The terminal said faintly: "Why should I hide what I gave you?"

"Sure enough!" Li Zheng's expression was shocked: "So you stuffed me with the things that came out of the box?"

"Do not!"

The terminal shook his head: "I just handed over the system to you. The contents... are actually given to you by the system."

"What do you mean?" Li Zheng was a little confused. Could it be that the treasure chest system wasn't the 'gold finger' that was forcibly shoved to him when the terminal cloned himself, but the real golden finger obtained after crossing over when the terminal was still a human being?

"It seems that you still haven't found it..." The terminal didn't know what to think, showing a strange expression, and then laughed, the smile was stretched on the screen very long, looking very strange: "As for the matrix, you don't think Is there a sense of disobedience? What kind of technological means can create a small world that can change the rules?"

Li Zheng heard this, his mind exploded, and he couldn't believe it: "Could it be that the original blueprint of the matrix world was actually opened by you from the treasure chest?"

"Or else?" The terminal laughed enough and regained its calm: "I have owned that system for countless hours, and you will never guess what I have driven out of those boxes!"

Having said this, the terminal gritted his teeth: "It may be that I used up all my luck through time travel. From when I was a human being until I entered the matrix terminal and became data, I only opened two really good things in the box.

One is the matrix drawing on which we are now based, and the other..."

The terminal suddenly stopped and did not continue to speak.

Li Zheng asked, "What is the other one?"

He already had some guesses in his mind.

The terminal said lonely: "The other one is also a blueprint. Unfortunately, I underestimated its power at the beginning, and finally created an emotional storm."

"!!!"

The guess in his heart was confirmed, and Li Zheng didn't know what to say for a while.

It turns out that the culprit who has ravaged the universe for countless years and destroyed countless civilizations is actually the same person as the benefactor who sheltered the remnants of all ethnic groups.

"I also tried to solve the emotional storm once and for all through the treasure chest, but my luck is really bad!" The terminal's face seemed to be covered with a shadow: "In addition to the massive daily necessities, there are only Some drawings that were not on the table were not helpful at all to solve the emotional storm. They were all thrown into the matrix by me.

You should notice that there are two forms of drawings in the matrix, one is a learnable and reusable drawing, and the other is a one-time drawing that cannot be learned. '. "

Li Zheng suddenly said, "I thought it was strange before, why things made from one-time-use blueprints are more useful than props made from other blueprints of the same type. It turned out to be a boutique gift from our treasure chest father!"

"Not at all..." The terminal was embarrassed: "Actually, I followed the treasure chest later, and made some consumable blueprints myself, and threw them into the matrix to recharge, but you didn't encounter them."

Li Zheng touched his chin: "So, I'm really lucky."

The terminal's face darkened: "I accidentally spilled the blood just now, you squeeze a little more out for me."

Li Zheng was suspicious: "Are you so careless?"

The terminal grinned, "Just so careless!"

After speaking, the avatar disappeared, and a scene appeared on the screen. I saw a drop of red blood on the ground next to a testing instrument.

Li Zheng: "..."

Fuck your lungs, you actually spilled it on purpose! ?

Helpless, he could only grit his teeth and cut another knife, let out a little blood, and the terminal stuck out the robotic arm to take it away.

"It won't be spilled anymore, right?" Li Zheng squinted at the terminal.

The terminal said: "Whether I will spill it depends on your performance."

"..." Li Zheng suddenly remembered the scene of his previous persecution of Fengshan. How similar is this moment to that moment?

The terminal put away the playful mood and said solemnly: "I transferred the system to you at that time, just because your lifespan was not long, when you die, the system will return to me.

But now, the genetic medicine you obtained through the treasure chest should have filled up your own defects, but instead extended your lifespan to the level of a normal person. "

"But there is a piece of advice that you must always keep in mind. The origin of the treasure chest system is unknown. Even after I became a matrix terminal, I was unable to decipher its essence. You must be careful in your daily life. If you open the treasure chest, some effects are unknown. Don't use it rashly, otherwise it is very likely to repeat my mistakes and cause a catastrophe!"

Li Zheng nodded: "I remember."

He thought to himself: "The main body should not have developed an auxiliary tool like Laopu, so the blind man touching the elephant, causing the things to be made out of control, will cause a catastrophe.

Unlike him, I have Lao Pu to help. No matter what is opened in the treasure box, the usage and usage are clear at a glance, and it will definitely not follow his old way. "

After being assured, the terminal nodded with satisfaction: "If there is nothing else, I will send you back, and I will open an exclusive communication channel on your inscription card to contact me, but it is best not to contact me when it is not necessary. Me, I'm usually very busy."

Li Zheng thought about it carefully, and had no more doubts to ask for the time being, so he asked the terminal to send him back the same way.

The scene in front of him flickered, and he and Miriel were sent back to the matrix. At this time, his player permissions had been locked by the terminal, and most functions could not be used. The permission to teleport was also cancelled. Unless there are special items, they will be in the matrix. Hard to move.

There was nothing left to do here, Li Zheng simply gave up the rest of his stay, returned to the outer city, and appeared at the reception desk in Block 7.

At this time, it was about to get dark in the outer city, and it had been more than ten hours since they went to perform the mission. There were not many pedestrians at the reception, just a few.

Without staying near the portal to block others from using it, Li Zheng took Miriel and returned to the blacksmith together.

There was only Zi Yuan in the blacksmith shop, and the blacksmith's apprentices were nowhere to be seen. Li Zheng guessed that they had decided on a topic and went out to collect materials.

"You came back alive?" Seeing Li Zheng, Zi Yuan sat behind the counter and sighed regretfully.

Li Zheng never took the translator off his ear: "You want me to die so badly?"

"You can't say that." Zi Yuan looked innocent: "I just don't want you to harm my sister."

"..." Li Zheng was silent for a few seconds, reached out and took off the mask on Miriel's face, and said to Ziyuan: "You can rest assured, just like this is in line with my aesthetics, your sister is... not me. dishes!"

I thought that Miriel's appearance was a big killer for any race. This time, Li Zheng miscalculated. Ziyuan not only looked at Miriel's face that brought disaster to the country and the people for a long time, but even his expression became more and more strange. He blurted out: "So you like this type!"

"???" Li Zheng couldn't tell what Ziyuan's words meant for a while.
