The moment Chen Chen gave the order, one of the androids who was researching in the laboratory suddenly walked to the control table nearby, lifted a cover, and pressed a red button firmly.
squeak…
Suddenly, a strong voltage hit, and the monster in the hatching chamber trembled all over. The electric light burst out with sparks from the top of the hatching chamber.
The high-voltage electricity brought huge lethality and instantly boiled the amniotic fluid in the hatching chamber. But then there was a bang, and the reinforced hatching chamber exploded to pieces. The newborn consciousness stealer rushed out directly, and in front of it As if there was an invisible barrier, it broke through the glass wall of the laboratory and rushed towards Chen Chen!
boom!
However, it had just approached the fifty-meter range of Chen Chen. In an instant, its body seemed to have suffered a huge impact. The monster flew backwards at a faster speed, and at the same time, a large amount of black juice was thrown out!
Chen Chen's expression became even colder, with a hint of murderous intent. He stood up, twisted his neck, and walked step by step in the direction where the monster fell.
This monster has indeed inherited a lot of power, but it is also obvious that its power cannot reach the level of the first consciousness stealer.
During this period, Little
The starting point of the second stage is the death of the first consciousness stealer, and the end point is now.
From her statistics, it can be seen that in the first stage, the number of human deaths was approximately 2,353,400, while in the second stage, the number of dead so far is only 400,000.
In other words, this consciousness stealer has only absorbed the will of 400,000 dead people at most.
It's not that it doesn't want to absorb more, it's just that Chen Chen has already started to attack it...
At this time, the consciousness stealer was like a puddle of mud. Its body was torn apart by the huge impact, and its internal organs flowed all over the floor. Although its vitality prevented it from dying, it could not die. Temporarily incapacitated.
Seeing Chen Chen gradually approaching, the monster forced itself to stand up. It opened its mouthparts in the center of its chest and abdomen, as if it wanted to do something.
But in the next second, several almost non-existent streams of light suddenly passed by, and the monster's movements suddenly stiffened. Then, its body cracked bit by bit, and finally broke into more than a dozen pieces, collapsing like building blocks!
The muscles at the fractures were extremely smooth, as if they had been cut with the thinnest and sharpest knife...
After doing all this, Chen Chen waved his hand slightly, and the group of androids suddenly swarmed up with flamethrowers on their backs and began to spray the monster's remaining limbs.
After a while, the aroma of barbecue came to Chen Chen's nose.
After completely killing the second consciousness stealer, Chen Chen's expression became slightly more relaxed. He could feel that his brain was pressed down by something heavy before, especially after falling asleep, but after killing it, After becoming aware of the thief, the feeling temporarily eased.
Drink poison to quench thirst...
Such an idiom suddenly appeared in Chen Chen's mind.
If you don't want to completely solve the infection of the consciousness stealer, even if you kill a consciousness stealer every once in a while, it will be useless. Sooner or later, he will still have a mental breakdown.
But what he is doing now can only be regarded as drinking poison to quench his thirst.
As the first infected person in the world, Chen Chen's consciousness is strong enough, but even so, he was tortured to the point of losing his former calmness. Although Chen Chen still looks exactly the same as usual on the surface, there is only Xiao X who knows Chen Chen extremely well. Only then did he realize that Chen Chen hadn't spoken for a long time.
Chen Chen lay back on the recliner, his brows furrowed from beginning to end.
"X."
Suddenly, Chen Chen spoke again, his voice becoming hoarse, "Continue to clone the third consciousness stealer, don't stop."
"yes."
Little "
Chen Chen shook his head. Of course he knew the difficulty of this matter. Human beings are completely blind when it comes to consciousness infection. If you want to study it thoroughly or even find a solution, it cannot be done overnight. It is difficult without accumulating decades of experience. Produce results.
And a person's will cannot last for even a few months, let alone decades.
As for using memetic technology to solve the problem, Chen Chen had not thought about it, but Xiao X's analysis of memes was still too simple. It was easy to use memes as weapons, but it was not easy to use them as protection.
As we all know, it is very easy to destroy a thing, but it is very difficult to create, maintain, change, etc. it.
However, Little
Of course, this is just conjecture, and there is no telling whether it will be possible or not.
First of all, Chen Chen’s consciousness may not necessarily defeat the consciousness of the consciousness stealer. The relationship between the two is like a little white rabbit and a big bad wolf. Human consciousness is simply a powerless white rabbit to the consciousness stealer. This is Ideological differences.
Furthermore, even if Chen Chen really defeats the opponent, Xiao due to injury.
Therefore, this plan is only an alternative. The mainstream plan is to decipher the DNA of the consciousness stealer, find the thing that can infect human consciousness, and find ways to erase it.
Although the success rate of the alternative plan is too low, Chen Chen still has two options:
The first one is that he can go to the alien plane where human beings are destroyed. As long as he leaves the earth or his own plane, he can at least limit the consciousness stealer's interference with his consciousness to the minimum level.
Second, he can freeze himself until he finds a way to solve the infection in consciousness and then thaw it.
Before black light technology eliminated all cancers in humans, this solution was also very common. There were many similar cryogenic institutions in the international community, the most famous of which was one called the "Alcor Life Extension Foundation".
As we all know, cryonics is not something that can be done by putting a person into a temperature of more than 100 degrees below zero. The human body contains 80% water, and most of this water exists in cells. Once the human body is frozen, the water will automatically freeze and expand, bursting the cells, causing irreparable damage to cells throughout the body.
That is to say, after a person is frozen and then thawed, it seems that nothing has changed in appearance, but in fact, the cells in the body have long been dead, and such a person cannot be resurrected.
Institutions like the Alcor Foundation, in view of the fact that water kills cells, adopted another roundabout method - as long as you are on the verge of death and willing to pay, they will drain all your blood when you die. , and use a filling barrier to pour in a liquid refrigerant, which can remain liquid at the temperature of liquid nitrogen and will not freeze and cause harm to the human body.
After your whole body is filled with this cryogen, they will soak your head or your whole body (depending on the price) in a tank of liquid nitrogen and preserve it for a long time (the preservation time also depends on the price) Depends on price).
This idiot organization firmly believes that when cell regeneration, cloning or other technologies appear, the value of their freezing technology will be reflected, and frozen people can be "resurrected"...
However, in Chen Chen's view, this kind of freezing solution is just a kind of IQ tax. If it is freezing a living person, there is still a chance of resurrection. But the key is that you are already dead, and the body has to go through bloodletting and other processes. This If we want to resurrect this state, how advanced does technology have to be to achieve it
Want to come back from the dead
Sorry, even science fiction novels dare not write this.
In fact, this does not mean that the plan of human cryonics cannot be achieved, but it distorts the technological tree. Real cryonics is not about freezing a corpse, but directly freezing a living person is the right way.
The freezing method Chen Chen chose was very simple. It was one of the many technologies obtained from the "Prometheus" plane called "antifreeze".
This "antifreeze" belongs to nanotechnology. It is a special nanoparticle. After being injected into the human body, this agent will automatically integrate into every cell of the human body, turning the water in the cells into a mixture. , and this mixture can remain liquid without freezing at temperatures of tens of degrees below zero.
After the antifreeze is injected, the human body is quickly cooled into an instrument called a "cryosleep chamber" to achieve the purpose of suspending the life process.
This technology can also be applied in the field of interstellar voyages that may take several years or decades in the future.
The reason why Chen Chen had not come up with this technology before was because it was not needed for the time being. Black light technology has directly overcome most of the known major diseases and can even extend life span. Naturally, there is no need to apply this technology.
However, although this technology is not available on the market, Chen Chen can now use it. If there is really no way out, Chen Chen can only freeze himself temporarily until Xiao X leads Blacklight Technology to completely solve the problem of consciousness infection. After asking the question, unfreeze him.
However, although the two alternatives seem to be less risky, they still hide huge crises. What if humans have been unable to develop countermeasures to solve the infection of consciousness
What if the infection of consciousness cannot be controlled in the end and eventually destroys humanity
Doesn't it mean that Chen Chen will be frozen in the sleep chamber forever, with no possibility of waking up
These thoughts flashed through Chen Chen's mind. Now he only had these four options to take, either to resist, to risk using memetic technology, to run away, or to run away frozen...
At this time, the heavy burden in his consciousness had been relieved again. Chen Chen breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the long-lost relief, "X, I've almost thought about it. I'm going to choose the second way and use meme technology to solve it. it."
"Are you really going to give it a second thought?"
Little
"Thirty percent? It's already a lot."
Chen Chen laughed back, "I originally thought the chance was less than 20%, but now it seems that there is still 30%, which is already very good."
"But, maybe you don't take this risk, but freeze yourself directly. Maybe we will be able to develop other more reliable solutions in the near future!"
Little X was still a little reluctant to persuade.
"But it's also possible that after I fall asleep this time, I will never wake up again..."
Chen Chen said seriously, "In fact, humans still can't stop the spread of consciousness infection, right? I don't want to place bets on others, and don't take chances. If I have to fight, I would rather play myself! "
“…”
Xiao X fell silent immediately. Of course she knew that Chen Chen had chosen the most correct path.
"Get ready."
Chen Chen said no more. He rubbed his temples and ordered, "Prepare a clone of me. If I fail, then the fate of mankind will depend on you, X."
"Do not disappoint me… "
"yes… "
A blue light flashed from the black ball behind her, and Little X's figure appeared in the blue light. She cried silently and nodded softly.
Then, another blue light flashed, and a metal sleeping cabin with a faint blue color and a sci-fi appearance appeared in front of the black ball. Several androids immediately stepped forward and moved the sleeping cabin in front of Chen Chen. At the same time, the sleeping cabin was The sliding cover opens, revealing the small space inside.
This metal sleep cabin is what Little , there is even a tube of antifreeze. Even if the power is lost, the nuclear reactor inside can keep the sleep chamber running for a thousand years.
If Chen Chen fails in the end, then Xiao
Regarding Xiao X's thoughts, Chen Chen just shook his head and smiled, then lay down directly.
"DNA testing... User identity confirmation..."
"Your Excellency Chen Chen, the only authority holder, I am X-114, and I am responsible for the safety of your vital signs throughout the entire process..."
"It is detected that the mission is started and the anesthetic is released..."
As Chen Chen entered, an electronic synthesized sound came to his ears, and at the same time, some gas began to be discharged from the side of the warehouse wall.
After smelling the gas, Chen Chen's consciousness suddenly became active. His mind suddenly became clear, but his body became increasingly tired.
It's a strange but layered feeling.
Chen Chen felt that he seemed to be on the edge of falling asleep. His eyelids were extremely heavy, but his thinking was clear and clear.
"The sleep chambers are beginning to close and the 'battlefield of consciousness' meme is ready to activate!"
"Warning! Warning! After the sleep chamber is closed, it can only be opened from the inside!"
The last electronic sound came, and before Chen Chen fell asleep completely, he seemed to see the lid of the sleep chamber gradually closing, and slowly blocking the tearful face of a girl...
