Chapter 33 The Body
"After ASH Baidi is shut down, the institute's power supply will also be temporarily interrupted. When the power system is restored, it will be the time for ASH Baidi to restart."

Li Yuan muttered to himself that Lin Zhen, also known as Quill, had told him that as long as the power supply was interrupted, it meant that he had shut down the main program of ASH Baidi, and he needed to take out the core module of ASH Baidi during this time. .

But now, he no longer intends to do so.

On the other side, Erica has found the core module of ASH Baidi according to Jialan's guidance. When she was about to take it out, Li Yuan stopped immediately and said:
"Don't take it out, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!"

Hearing this, Erica instinctively chose to trust Li Yuan and stopped her movements, while Mark was a little puzzled and asked, "Mr. Li, what's the matter, is there any problem?"

"I don't know, I just feel that once ASH Baidi is completely shut down, something we can't predict will happen."

Speaking of this, Li Yuan suddenly asked: "Jialan, in fact, Dr. Quill created a brand-new human experimental body in the B3 Holy Land. He is not the artificial human we are familiar with, and he can even be regarded as another kind of creature. Just like a human, if ASH Baidi is completely shut down, how do you feel about the experiment?"

"Of course they will die directly. I heard that the experiments they conducted require a huge amount of energy, and a little carelessness will lead to the failure of the experiment. Compared with ordinary artificial humans, it should only be more stringent." Jia Lan was thoughtful. replied.

"I see, it must be like this, that's right." Li Yuan muttered thoughtfully, his expression a little excited.

Seeing this, Mark was even more puzzled: "Mr. Li, you seem to understand something?"

"I understand why the research institute has become like this." Li Yuan suddenly came back to his senses, and explained: "Dr. I thought at first it was because he didn't want to give up his research, but it wasn't.

The real reason is that he has no way to terminate the experiment of new humans. Jialan’s words convinced me of this. If he could kill the test subject by shutting down ASH Baidi, Dr. Quayle would have done so long ago, but he No.

As the researcher primarily responsible, is he stupid?Of course not, he knows better than anyone that shutting down ASH Baidi will only make things worse, which is why ASH Baidi said it is saving the institute. "

The three people on the side were dumbfounded, but this did not prevent Li Yuan from understanding the cause of the whole incident.

Now, he needs to verify one thing: "If what Dr. Quill said is true, then the experiment they conducted is too crazy, and it will bring extremely terrible disasters."

While speaking, Li Yuan left the computer room and rushed to the uppermost floor of the holy land. He was going to the control room to see the experimental new human with his own eyes.

"Jialan, do you have any way to quickly restart ASH Baidi?" Li Yuan asked as he walked.

Although Jialan didn't know what Li Yuan was going to do, she had no choice now, because she also discovered just now that the main program of ASH Baidi had been closed.

However, if the core module of ASH Baidi is not taken out later, it will still restart by itself, which means that all previous efforts have been in vain.

"Hey, let me try. I just hope that the restarted ASH Baidi can stop everything it does." Jia Lan replied helplessly.

Ran Bing also saw the video of Quill's experiment just now, and also knew that the institute was creating a new kind of human being. She asked curiously: "Mr. Li, is there anything wrong with the human being they created?"

"The problem is big!"

Li Yuan replied with certainty. At first, he thought that Dr. Quill's idea was pretty good, and it was considered bold. At least he had found a new direction for human beings to live in. But now that he thinks about it, he is still too naive. up.

"Where does the human consciousness, or soul, come from?" Li Yuan slowly asked a question.

Ran Bing thought for a moment, then shook his head and replied, "This... I don't know, maybe it was born."

"Hehe, I hope so."

Li Yuan shook his head, but he himself was not very clear about it.

But he knew that the new human created by Quill was not the artificial human of the previous kind, and could be obtained through simple gene cloning technology.

What he created was a brand new living body, and when he created it, he must endow it with consciousness and soul.

So, where did the consciousness and soul of this created new human come from?

Human beings are not creators, they are just a tiny species in the universe, and they are far from reaching the level of prying into the truth of the universe.

Quill may have thought that he could, as the Creator, endow that new human with consciousness and soul, but later he discovered that he could not.

That's why Quayle says 'he's just a shell' in the video.

That's right, the new human beings created by them have no consciousness and soul, just a shell, a container.

Once this body has developed self-awareness and has a soul, it is necessary to think carefully about what kind of creature it is.

Combined with what Quill told him before, new humans can communicate with the Flower of Mana without using any equipment, so the source of their consciousness and soul is likely to come from the Mana ecology.

This defeats the purpose of Quayle's original experimental research.

Because he wants to create a new kind of human being, which will live in symbiosis with Mana, and the dominant party must be human beings, which cannot be changed in nature.

The current situation is that Mana Ecology has borrowed his hands to create a brand new Mana Ecology product.

In the past, in order to evolve the mana ecology, it was necessary for the polar devouring beasts to plunder the life source of human beings, and it could be completed after a series of evolutions.

Fortunately, Dr. Quill directly helped them create a perfect container. The mana ecology only needs to input its own source of life to control this body, eliminating the need for complicated evolution steps.

It is no exaggeration to say that the new human being is actually a pole-eating beast in human skin, and the dominant side is in the Mana ecology, not human beings.

Think about how terrifying it is for such a human being to be created.

Quill must have discovered the clues, so he tried every means to save it.

Li Yuan guessed that at first, Quill planned to use his own consciousness to suppress the consciousness of the mana ecology that invaded his body.

But he overestimated himself too much. How could one person's strength compete with Mana's ecology? The result was obvious.

Instead, he was indirectly eroded by the mana ecology and transformed into an extreme beast.

But he was a human from beginning to end. With his own reason and strong will, Quill briefly defeated the erosion of Mana's ecology and regained his human form.

At this time, he realized that he had to end the experiment and end all of this.

But Mana's ecological consciousness has already occupied that body, and it is no longer feasible to kill him by ordinary methods.

And there are so many researchers and artificial humans in the research institute, they are all natural nourishment, once the body absorbs these life sources, the consequences will be disastrous.

So the only way is to use ASH Baidi to suppress him, prevent him from fully growing up, and let him be sealed in the experimental jar forever.

In the end, Quill had no choice but to kill everyone, even himself, to seal everything here and prevent the birth of Mana ecology.

Therefore, ASH Baidi began to clean up the research institute according to Quell's intention.

But no one thought that Quill himself would become an uncontrollable variable.

After all, he was still unable to resist the erosion of Mana's ecology, and turned into a pole-devouring beast again, and began to hunt the personnel of the institute.

It was precisely because he became a Pole Devourer that a series of subsequent events occurred.

He plundered too many other people's life essence, absorbed their mixed memories, and caused his own memory to become disordered. He even forgot his identity and what he had done, thinking that all of this was caused by ASH Baidi .

In this state, Quill sent out a distress message, and Li Yuan and the others followed the signal and came here.

What happened later was obvious. When Quill's incarnation was plundering the source of life, the humanoid beast happened to meet Li Yuan.

Li Yuan's kick may have woken him up a bit, he started to run away, and finally regained his human form and fell down in the warehouse.

Because his memory has long been messed up, Quill doesn't know his identity at all, and regards himself as a senior researcher Lin Zhen.

And Li Yuan also mistakenly thought that he was a survivor of the research institute, everything was such a coincidence.

Driven by such erratic circumstances, Quill himself ruined all the efforts he had made, which is really sad and ridiculous.

Thinking about it now, maybe everything that happened before was not a coincidence, he suddenly had a bad premonition.
