Chapter 124 Domesticating an Alien Life

The expert went on to explain: "We have also tried to educate this colorful bubble. For example, we showed it baby videos, animal videos, etc., but it didn't respond at all."

Zhang Ran looked at these educational materials, the wild laughter of the baby, a group of pigs fighting for the right to drink grandma, monkeys grooming each other, a group of elephants sleeping on the ground, dolphins swimming in the ocean, etc... all kinds of things The video is quite comprehensive.

"Unfortunately, it has no response to these things. There is no possibility of domestication."

"The formation of intelligence is very important to social interaction. Without social interaction, life will only have some innate genetic instincts. It is the interaction with reality that allows us to produce a high degree of intelligence."

"For animals, this rule is likely to be followed."

"We humans have had examples of wolf children. If a child lives with wolves and is raised by wolves, he will mistakenly think he is a wolf. If a duck is raised by chickens, it will feel that it is a wolf. It's a chicken."

"The various reactions of this unknown life form are really strange. It may have the potential to give birth to intelligence, but due to the lack of society, it failed to form intelligence."

"In this way, we can actually let psykers... tame them!"

That's right, domestication!

Domesticate an alien life!

Soon another expert raised objections: "But what if its intelligence is innate? Just like a computer program, what if there is a whole set of software? Our domestication may not necessarily be successful."

"Since it may be artificial life, it does not necessarily follow our theories. It is not necessarily accurate to say that social interaction produces intelligence."

"No, no, we actually suspect that this unknown life is not necessarily the cub of the void amoeba. Because the two look completely different, and the composition of the body is also slightly different."

This time the differences were even bigger, after all, no one knew what the real facts were.

The main person in charge, Professor Scott, thought for a while, and directly issued a military order: "Your Highness, it is our duty and obligation as scientists to find further opportunities for development. We cannot give up such a good opportunity."

"If it really doesn't work, we can place a hydrogen bomb in the laboratory. Our Dongfang Panshi still has a lot of vacant areas. We can directly move our laboratory to the edge area. Reinforce it with steel and install a hydrogen bomb."

"Once it is discovered that alien life is out of control, I will detonate the hydrogen bomb myself. Even if the military finds that the laboratory is out of control, it can also detonate the hydrogen bomb."

"You don't have to worry about my determination. There are really unpredictable risks. I will definitely detonate the hydrogen bomb! Of course, we need to borrow one or two psykers, otherwise there is no possibility of successful domestication."

"It doesn't pay attention to ordinary people like us."

Zhang Ran touched his temple. Professor Scott's plan sounds... outrageous!

Installing a hydrogen bomb in a laboratory...

But having said that, what if it can really be domesticated? !

What about the type domesticated to be close to humans?

That would be a big deal!

If this guy is a void amoeba, its ability to collect matter is not covered, it is many times faster than humans collecting resources by themselves!

A standard excavator can dig one or two thousand tons of ore a day, which is already very fast, and it takes 100,000 days to dig 100 million tons of ore!

And it only takes a few seconds for an adult void amoeba to dispose of 100 million tons of minerals!

This is the gap, the earth-shaking gap.

What's more, it will also reproduce itself. If it breeds one, it will domesticate one. In less than a hundred years, human beings will have a fleet of "Void Amoeba" fleets, and they will truly soar in the universe.

Even if you encounter a strong enemy, with such a fleet, you will feel full of security.

Just give an order and crush them!

That is the real interstellar civilization.

Of course, the premise is that it is indeed a void amoeba...

If it is not, it is actually nothing, no matter what, it is also a silicon-based life form that can sail on curvature.

"What is this... a nomadic people?" Zhang Ran was also taken aback by the brains of this group of people for a while, and had to admit that this idea was very tempting.

Even with some risks.

He thought for a while, then looked at Zero next to him.

She seemed to have no objection.

"Okay, even the Milky Way will explode for no reason. There is nothing in the world that is completely risk-free. Mr. Scott, since you have issued a military order, you will be responsible for safety issues."

"The installation of the hydrogen bomb is in charge of Major Guo Weiqiang... We must investigate its threat to human beings. If you want to transfer posts, I can agree to transfer posts. This is a voluntary research work, and we will not force it."

As soon as Zhang Ran said these words, the atmosphere in the meeting room was relaxed and a little tense at the same time.

No one wants their laboratory to be placed with a hydrogen bomb that may explode at any time... The sense of uneasiness is too great, and some people may not be able to sink their hearts into research. It is difficult to criticize such people.

...

Engineers come in and install a nuclear bomb in the lab...not a huge yield, but more than enough to destroy alien lifeforms.

"Professor, this thing has a lot of safety insurance, don't touch it at ordinary times... Hey, in fact, you don't need to issue this military order." Engineer Lu Qiming said with a sigh, "His Royal Highness is a very negotiable person. , as long as you make it clear to him."

Professor Scott shook his head beside him: "It's nothing, this is for the safety of all mankind. Even I am not sure whether it has potential safety hazards, and I don't rule out putting an extra insurance."

He clenched his fists hard and did not regret this choice.

...

Once upon a time, Scott's character was completely different from now.

At the age of 23, he had already achieved great success. He holds a dual course Ph.D. in biology and materials science. He published 6 papers in nature in two fields.

The bionic heart he invented brought huge fame and financial benefits.

That is the bionic heart, which has brought good news to countless heart patients and prolonged their survival time.

When you are young and frivolous, there is always a sense of domineering, fame and fortune, luxury and money, and the patent income alone is hundreds of millions every year!

It was as if the whole world revolved around him. Scott can get what he wants, unknowingly, he has become selfish and ostentatious.

The most subtle way of killing people in the world is flattery. He is surrounded by all kinds of flatterers, but there are fewer and fewer people who do practical things, and they are getting more and more distanced.

So what? Just a bionic heart is enough to rest on the credit book for a lifetime!

However, disaster happened suddenly...

The sun goes out, the whole world enters the cold winter, and the world is in chaos...

Once a very obedient subordinate turned into a thug, picked up a sharp knife, and grinned...

"Scott, I've seen that you've been displeased for a long time! Isn't it because you were lucky that you were a little earlier than me? Why is everything yours!"

"Why should I please you every day? Why?!"

Trembling all over his body, he saw the war between people...

One of the unpopular disciples, who had an upright personality and not much ability, rescued them, but was finally stabbed to death by the thugs...

He heard the words that shocked his heart...

"Professor, you should be alive... My mother also uses the bionic heart, although it is a bit expensive, it has exhausted our family property..."

"But you saved my mother's life and allowed her to live two years longer...this is a contribution to humanity."

"Professor, you should be alive... There is a refuge in the distance, don't be depressed... You should be alive!"

Scott was stunned at that time. When he invented the bionic heart, he did have that lofty ambition... to make more contributions to all mankind!

But later, it was just for more fame and money.

The price is indeed expensive, 100,000... US dollars! It's so expensive that many people can't afford it.

The luxurious life lost his eyes and lost his soul.

He never thought that in a crisis, some people want to kill themselves, and some people want to save themselves.

Since then, Scott has changed. He has become taciturn, devoted himself to his work, and reputation and money are no longer important to him.

He began to train more students, whether they were thorns, social fears, or other personalities, he didn't care, only flattering students would be ruthlessly eliminated by him.

Who should be alive?

...

The installation of the hydrogen bomb took nearly a day.

A hydrogen bomb with a million-ton equivalent is small, but it is more than enough to destroy the entire laboratory, giving people the illusion of being frightened.

It is connected by wire, and if the wire connection is disconnected, the hydrogen bomb will explode directly.

In addition, Professor Scott and the military have the authority to detonate the bomb.

After finishing all this, Zhang Ran solemnly said to Zero: "The arduous task of domesticating alien life is entrusted to you. In terms of individual combat capabilities, you are considered the strongest human being. And it seems to be closer to you , then you will be its temporary mother."

Zero was actually a little reluctant, with a slight resentment on her face... She has a little social phobia.

"If it is indeed less malicious to humans, then you will be responsible for the upbringing and education of this alien life form."

Seeing Ling's gloomy look, Zhang Ran knew that her social phobia had flared up, and added, "I'm really too busy, so I can ask Sakurai to come over and help."

"Forget it, you two just go together."
