Li Zheng said hoarsely, "How similar this is to the history of human developnt."
History has seen many tragic incidents under the guise of sacrifice.
The terminal turned off the surveillance screen and said, "Similar situations have cycled countless tis in the eco-box. I’ve seen even more outrageous behaviors than this. I’ve tried to stop them, but to no avail.
Sotis, I suspect this is a historical link that every intelligent race must experience in its developnt process."
Li Zheng asked, "What is their final fate?"
The terminal replied, "Most die in conflicts. For the remaining ones, I sterilize them, allowing them to die naturally."
Both didn’t want to continue discussing this topic because it would remind them of unpleasant things.
Not unpleasant events from history, but potential scenes in the future they didn’t want to see.
Li Zheng asked the terminal, "Since the genetic potion has been successfully tested, will it be officially put into use next? Another question: You ntioned that the genetic code in those experintal subjects was artificially imprinted by you. Does this an that after it is officially put into use, to continue to enhance it, one must rely on external forces and cannot self-generate more genes within the body?"
The terminal replied, "The current conclusion is such, unless Yan Jinjin can find a way to self-replicate genes from the cultivation technique he brought. Also, I haven’t explored the conditions for simultaneously accommodating more genes between different individuals, which is also a pressing research topic."
So, the so-called new cultivation system is still a semi-finished product?
Li Zheng drooped his eyelids, thinking the terminal had brought him excitedly for so groundbreaking discovery, but it turns out... just this?
"Semi-finished products can’t be put into use," Li Zheng pondered for a while and said, "Because it’s uncertain what changes will occur in the future, and whether this thing has yet-to-be-discovered side effects."
"I understand what you’re saying," the terminal said, "So there’s another reason I asked you here this ti. I hope you can find a few volunteers among the Water Blue Star people to cooperate with my ongoing research. I will imprint enough genes into them, observing the applicability of this ability in the human body."
"If nothing unexpected happens, the future botanical gardens, factories, and other enterprises that produce genetic tools will be completely replaced. I will collect all the genetic ability graphs currently existing in Outer City residents, compile them into a volu, and open a new business system, providing them with the abilities they want using an imprinting device."
This way, the terminal can also have more experintal targets, making it extrely convenient to collect the conditions in which each ability is successfully imprinted.
Li Zheng pondered for a long ti and said, "First, imprint so of the so-called ’genes’ on , do the experint directly on , I can provide the most intuitive feelings."
"This..." The terminal hesitated unusually, "This could be dangerous. You are my last clone. I do not want you to take unnecessary risks."
If Li Zheng dies, he... or rather the original body, would have no descendants.
"So risks, I think we can try to take," Li Zheng said, "I am different from ordinary people. I am a clone, and my body has been modified by Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, Genetic Potion, and other peculiar things. Moreover, I have adapted to a twenty tis gravity environnt. I believe I am justified in becoming the first human experintal subject."
The terminal was silent for a long ti but ultimately refused, "No, no, if you want to take such a risk, you must first leave a descendant for ... no, for the original body!"
Li Zheng was stunned, then exclaid, "Are you determined to produce clones just because you want a child?"
The terminal simply laid its cards on the table, "Yes! The reason I cloned so many people is to use you to leave a child. After all, I have no kith or kin in this world. If I die completely, wouldn’t the bloodline be severed?"
Li Zheng understood this was a philosophical question of existence or extinction.
Applying Earth concepts, the terminal didn’t want his generation to be extinct.
But the terminal itself is now rely a strand of consciousness within a supercomputer, even with imnse abilities, he cannot produce offspring normally with any creature.
Therefore, the terminal focused on cloning technology, using clone bodies to accomplish this task for him.
It’s just that previous clones, for various reasons, were unwilling or lacked the opportunity to leave offspring, leaving Li Zheng as the last hope.
"So..." Li Zheng rolled his eyes, feeling extrely speechless, "So that senior used so-called marriage contracts to bind those few races, right?"
"Those races were just alternative plans," the terminal said, "At that ti, I didn’t know about the existence of Water Blue Star people, otherwise, I wouldn’t have allowed that guy to do such a... foolish thing."
Li Zheng’s eyebrows jumped, "You even want to leave a child with Water Blue Star people, so you permissively let dissolve the marriage contract with Mo Li and the others?"
"Yes!" The terminal nodded vigorously on the screen, "I know you’ve completed a relationship with that enchanting demon, but I’m telling you clearly, you must find a Water Blue Star girl and have a child! Once you have a child, I won’t care what you do afterward; do whatever you please!"
"Tsk." Li Zheng clicked his tongue a few tis, looking in disbelief at the terminal, "We may have the sa mories, but why have your ideas beco so extre now? Like those parents forcing marriage."
The terminal said as a matter of course, "Parents? My age should have long made an ancestor of a huge family; now I just want you to give a child, is there a problem?"
There’s a saying that ti pushes people to age, ideas at twenty and forty are distinctly different, let alone the terminal which should be... almost a hundred thousand years old this year.
Li Zheng’s eyes twitched, suddenly feeling imnse pressure.
Others are urged to marry by their parents, yet he is urged by himself?
"Now I feel like you’re being unreasonable," Li Zheng shook his head, saying, "Even if I start preparing now, by the ti the child is born, it would take about a year, and then another year would pass, the whole universe might be on the brink of destruction, even then, you insist I leave a descendant first?"
The terminal imdiately replied, "It’s precisely because there’s not much ti left that a descendant is more essential! For so many years, my only wish is to experience the feeling of being a father. If the universe is destroyed and this wish can’t be fulfilled, I wouldn’t die content!"
Li Zheng saw the terminal appearing sowhat deranged and could only helplessly say, "Bring Xiao Ying inside later and let her call you a few tis..."
Before he finished speaking, the terminal loudly said, "Can adoption be the sa as having biological ones? I don’t care, you all managed to brush this issue aside one by one before, but this ti you must settle this for !"
