The Memoirs of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 316

With the death of the ancient mage and the disappearance of the foreign gods, Raven had no right to refuse, so he could only nod with a gloomy face.

Constantine smiled slightly, and with the help of the magic net system in the North Sea, opened a portal casually.

Standing in front of the dark blue corrugated door, he nodded slightly, and said to the raven in harmony: "Please, Mr. Prime Minister."

Raven snorted coldly, straightened his clothes, and stepped into it calmly.

As a fairly powerful mage, Raven can identify the direction, distance, and location of the portal through the slightest etheric fluctuations.

"This is New York, the Second New York, to be precise."

Raven's thoughts changed sharply. According to various official and unofficial information channels, Li Ang's base camp was established in Second New York, and the meme company was inextricably linked with Academy City. The American media is even more secretive.

"What is this? I just left the wolf's den and entered the tiger's mouth again."

Raven felt bitter in his heart, and made up his mind that if the situation was not good, he would directly die with the other party.

After a few breaths, the portal opened, and what Raven saw was a long and narrow corridor.

A square floor of unknown material is spread under the feet, with no gaps visible between each other.

The lamp tubes are embedded in the grid-shaped lampposts on the ceiling. As the human eye moves, the light will automatically adapt, becoming soft or cold.

One side of the corridor is a solid wall, while the other side is a floor-to-ceiling glass window. Standing by the glass window and looking out, you can see a spacious and bright large laboratory.

Dozens of giant glass pillars, like beams and pillars piercing through the sky, support the entire huge building.

There are some scientific research instruments scattered under the glass column. A dozen scientific researchers in white coats are standing, holding experimental forms in their hands, and occasionally filling in something with a pen.

Beside these scientific researchers, dozens of small octopus intelligent servants with a diameter of about half a meter wandered around, stretched out their tentacles from time to time, checked and detected the metal socket on the outside of the glass column, and adjusted the light yellow liquid inside. concentration index.

These blue-painted steel creations are the grassroots service personnel of the underground experiment base, responsible for cleaning up sundries, carrying heavy objects, cooking meals for employees, and assisting employees in some scientific research experiments.

According to Raven's fairly good eyesight, she can easily see the "objects" stored in it through the light yellow liquid filled with glass columns.

It was the germinal disc, a biological germinal disc the size of a basketball, huddled into a ball.

A pink artificial umbilical cord extends down from the top of the glass cylinder, connects to the center of the blastoderm, and delivers nutrients to the blastoderm.

Under the action of nutrients, the oval flat blastoderm folds its peripheral edges to the ventral side, forming head folds, tail folds, and belly folds, and further shrinks toward the center, finally forming a soft and slender Cylindrical embryos of upper and lower extremity buds.

It takes at least 4 weeks to develop from an oval flat blastoderm to a cylindrical embryo,

But in a glass cylindrical Petri dish, it's all compressed into three minutes.

As time goes by, the cylindrical embryo continues to differentiate, gradually forming facial features, with the contours of the eyes, nose, mouth and ears, enough to be called a "baby".

These babies are growing rapidly, their heads are fully developed, their fingers and toes are fully extended, and eventually they even cough or spit out a bubble or two occasionally.

According to this growth rate, it won't take long for the babies to meet the conditions for natural growth outside the mother's body. However, an abnormal event happened.

Their heads split slowly to both sides, and the separated fingers and toes reclosed. The overall body shape was like that of Neyasuo, which degenerated from a cylindrical shape to a flat placenta.

Compared with the rapid growth of the embryos just now, the rapid degeneration before the eyes made the raven tremble and fear even more.

Embryos inside the glass cylinder undergo a growth-degeneration cycle in a 4-minute cycle.

Mysterious, deep, magnificent, quiet, but full of strange evil.

Empty and dead laboratories, embryos the size of basketballs, culture containers that stand upright on the ground, mechanical servants flying all over the sky, and scientific researchers in white coats with expressionless faces.

In this place, the sign "Extremely Dangerous! No entry for ordinary people!" was posted on the door.

Raven felt her scalp go numb, and she felt remorseful. She was about to retreat into the portal and follow the original path, but found that Constantine had already stepped out of the portal, and closed the gate casually.

"Where's your little wizard's servant?" Raven pretended not to care in order to relieve his uneasiness.

"Harry? He and Dumbledore still have some things to deal with."

Constantine didn't care about Raven's expression, and directly passed the British Prime Minister and walked to the front, "Come with me, Mr. Leon has not returned to Earth yet, you can take a stroll here first."

Konstantin took big strides. He snapped his fingers casually, and an octopus intelligent servant spewed out blue tail flames and flew quickly from the corner of the corridor. After a while, it gently helped him remove the V Vendetta uniform, and change him into that signature long trench coat.

Constantine flicked his sleeves, and sure enough, he took out the lighter and Sika cigarettes from the windbreaker pocket, lit one for himself skillfully, and touched the head of the octopus wise servant with a smile, "Thank you very much, R2. "

The ferocious and terrifying steel intelligent servant, its red compound eyes blinked quite humanely, and turned around happily, like a puppy recognized by its master.

Seeing the ravens on the side in a daze, Constantine explained casually: "Academy City will distribute a customized smart servant to each faculty member for free to help deal with trivial matters in life.

These intelligent servants are equipped with an independent information processing system, which can continuously collect external information and gradually form a 'personality', which can be either positive and impulsive, or calm and indifferent.

From a certain point of view, these special types of intelligent servants can already be regarded as free creatures, and in time, they may be able to pass the Turing test perfectly. "

Raven smacked her mouth and didn't say a word—she wouldn't ask "Aren't you afraid of rebellion by artificial intelligence?" This mentally handicapped question, isn't Li Ang more dangerous than artificial intelligence?

She hesitated for a moment, pouted her lips towards the glass cylinder in the center of the laboratory hall, and pretended to say casually, "What is that?"

Constantine followed his gaze and said indifferently, "Oh, you said those embryos, they are prisoners."

"What, what?" Raven was stunned, unable to understand what it meant, only feeling an ominous premonition creeping up in his heart.
