"It's hard for me to explain this to you. It's a philosophical question: ego, id, and superego."

"First you have to know what cloning technology is."

"Continuous replication of a gene?"

Liu Chang did not comment.

"To be more professional, you are a student of the University of Science and Technology of China after all. It is a pure cell line formed by the division and reproduction of the same ancestral cell. The genes of each cell in this cell line are the same. It is also called asexual reproduction technology."

"so?"

"So there is a problem. Your database uses human consciousness as the medium, human IQ as the computing unit, and human knowledge reserves as the data. I can use technology to guarantee the latter two, but what about consciousness?"

"How do you think they should feel about being clones?"

Lin Xuan was stunned.

"Does this have any impact?"

He thought that all he had to do was clone these people and then connect them to the database.

"I do not know."

Liu Chang gave an answer that Lin Xuan did not expect.

"do not know?"

"Yes, this is the crux of the problem. You have to know that I am the first person to study human cloning. Of course, there may be other people who are also studying it, but they are also stuck on this issue. We will be recorded as sinners in the history books of future generations."

"what is the problem?"

"How to eliminate the clones' independent consciousness."

Lin Xuan was startled. He suddenly looked at the clones behind Liu Chang, and then he realized that they didn't look stupid, but their eyes really lost a bit of charm... a bit of human charm.

"Consciousness is a person's ability to recognize the environment and themselves, and the clone's definition of "I" will be completely different from our own."

"I won't give you any examples, but you can try to imagine how you would define the concept of 'I am me' if you realised that there is more than one of you in the world."

"You know I'm a biologist. I don't quite understand philosophical issues. So in order to avoid possible troubles in the future, I have made certain modifications to these clones, retaining only their brain computing functions."

Liu Chang was very calm when he said this, but Lin Xuan felt a chill.

"Grass!"

Although he didn't know what Liu Chang meant by "modification", the fact that it could erase a living person's consciousness of self-existence was definitely more terrifying than Hines' ideological stamp.

If Hines's ideological imprint is still just a modification of human's cognitive state of things, then what Liu Chang, this madman, has come up with is like mind control, completely depriving a person of control over himself.

Lin Xuan can even use the Mewtwo database to directly control these clones and perform command operations!

It's as easy as controlling a soldier in a strategy game.

For some reason, Lin Xuan suddenly felt a little regretful about letting Liu Chang study this thing. Just as he said, no matter what the future holds, he and others will definitely become sinners in history.

The connection with the Mewtwo database was completed quickly, even faster than expected.

The moment the 32 clones' brains were connected to the consciousness extractor, their brains began frantically providing computing power for the entire database.

Liu Chang was very successful. The self-consciousness of these clones was completely erased. Even if they were connected to the consciousness extractor, nothing could be extracted. Therefore, they could only be used as computing power units to complete the computer.

Although there are only 32 people, their brains have been upgraded to the limit of current technology. The computing power provided by one clone is at least equivalent to that of 1 ordinary people. This far exceeds Lin Xuan's expectations.

In order to prevent their bodies from overheating and causing loss of brain function when the database is overloaded, Liu Chang buried all 32 people underground and froze them in a huge pool of nutrient solution using hibernation technology to prevent them from dying from lack of nutrition over a long period of time.

And he gave this thing a very appropriate name - the Thinker Array.

Chapter 61 Spell

"Now we will proceed to the Wallfacer's hearing. Please welcome Zhang Huaimin, the rotating chairman of Huaxia."

This year's Wallfacer hearing was even quieter. Not only were there fewer spectators, but even among the Wallfacers, only Lin Xuan was present.

Since Hines went into hibernation, the only two wallfacers still working are Lin Xuan and Luo Ji. Naturally, this year's PDC rotating chairman was replaced by a Chinese.

"Mr. Chairman, I am sorry that I cannot attend this hearing for special reasons. Please understand."

Luo Ji's projection gestured slightly to Zhang Huaimin on the stage, who simply nodded.

Everyone knows that Luo Ji entered the underground base half a year ago. He has never come out since then, and no one knows what he is researching in there.

Until one day ago, Shi Qiang suddenly contacted the PDC and said that Luo Ji needed to hold this year's Wallfacer hearing in advance. Originally, the PDC was not very willing to agree, but Lin Xuan also submitted an application for the hearing at the same time.

In desperation, the PDC had to bring the meeting forward.

"Wallfacer Luo Ji, you should have heard about the Wallfacer Act that was amended in the United Nations General Assembly, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Chairman."

"You should have noticed that the bill has strengthened the review and restrictions on the use of resources by the Wallfacers. I hope that the plan you submit at this meeting will comply with the requirements of the bill. Of course, the same goes for Mr. Lin Xuan."

"I agree."

Lin Xuan was too lazy to argue with the PDC. The PDC was facing a severe financial deficit and he had long given up hope of getting money from the PDC.

"I agree, Mr. Chairman, that my plan will not consume too many resources."

"Indeed, after all, how much money can be spent on food, drink and entertainment is only the annual income of a working class family."

The Eagle Sauce representative's ridicule of Luo Ji caused a crowd of people to chuckle. They all knew what Luo Ji had done during his years as the Wallfacer.

First, he built himself an extremely luxurious Garden of Eden, then asked PDC to find him a wife, and finally, he spent PDC's money to take Zhuang Yan around the world. At the most critical moment for mankind, this wall-facer did nothing.

"quiet!"

On the rostrum, Zhang Huaimin slammed the gavel, and the meeting room suddenly became quiet.

Luo Ji cast a grateful look towards the podium before continuing.

"I think you have all received the documents that Dr. Albert sent to everyone, right?"

"That is the information I intend to send into the universe through the sun's radio wave amplification function. The information only includes three graphics and an additional message to verify its authenticity."

Upon hearing this, all the representatives began to look through the materials in front of them, and the sound of flipping pages was immediately heard in the conference hall.

Soon, they saw the three pictures that Luo Ji mentioned. There were several black dots randomly distributed on them, and there was a more eye-catching black dot in each picture with an arrow pointing to it.

"what is this?"

"To put it simply, this is a message sent to the universe. The content of the message..."

"It's a spell."

"Shock value from the Chinese representative +5."

Lin Xuan:?

Why are you putting the shock value on me? It wasn't me who did it.

Lin Xuan didn't know that what the Chinese representative was thinking at this moment was that when Lin Xuan kicked Luo Ji into the water, could it be that this fourth wallfacer had lost his brain?

"Spell, spell against whom?"

"The star 187J3X1 and all its planets, of course, may also act directly on the star."

“What specific effects will it have?”

"do not know."

"do not know?"

"Yes, but one thing is certain, the effect will be absolutely devastating."

“Will there be life on those planets?”

"I hope...I hope not."

"How long will it take to observe it, Dr. Luo Ji?"

World-weary Jun Yang ⑦1 ④⒋ Eight ㈥ ⑦ Seven 0

"This planet is about 50 light years away from the sun, so the earliest time the spell will take effect is 50 years from now. We need to wait 100 years before we can observe the effect image, but this is just my estimate, the specific time may be much longer than this."

After a long silence, the Eagle Sauce representative threw the information in his hand away.

"Great, now we finally have a god!"

"The God hiding in the cellar!"

The representative of the British Sun added, which immediately caused laughter from the audience.

"Dr. Luo Ji, in terms of strategic deception, your plan will definitely be the most bizarre and puzzling." said the Mao Xiong representative Galnin.

But after seeing Lin Xuan sitting next to him, he felt that what he said was a little inappropriate and quickly changed his words.

"Maybe you can really succeed. After all, the Trisolarans may not know what you are doing."

"Dr. Luo Ji, if everything is really as you said, why don't you act directly on the world of the Trisolarans?"

Zhang Huaimin asked the question in his mind.

Luo Ji shook his head slightly.

"I'm afraid that won't work. This is just an experiment of mine. Besides, the Trisolaran world is too close to us. It might affect us. That's why I gave up all the stars with planets within fifty light years."

When everyone heard this, they were silent at first.

They felt that this sounded familiar, and it was a bit like Diaz's plan.

"Did you make this plan based on that bastard Rey Diaz's plan to face the wall?"

The Eagle representative asked.

"Is this the end? Has PDC lost the most basic respect for those facing the wall?" Lin Xuan on the side interrupted their conversation directly and forcefully.

"If every plan needs to explain its origin to you, then what's the point of the Wall-Facing Plan? Tomoko is always monitoring you and me. I hope you haven't forgotten it, right?"

The Eagle Sauce representative was left speechless by Lin Xuan's words and had no choice but to shut up.

"Next, Mr. Lin Xuan, please explain your plan."

Lin Xuan took out a design drawing from her bag and motioned to Galning to pass it forward.

Galnin hurriedly did as he was told and distributed the design drawings to everyone present.

It was a densely packed CAD design drawing, and it could be seen that it looked like a city.

"Why does this design look weird?"

"Indeed, I always feel that...something is wrong."

Lin Xuan smiled.

"Backwards."

"what?"

"Turn the blueprint upside down."

Everyone was shocked and quickly turned the design over, only to find that it was actually an upside-down design.

"This is my idea for an underground city. Of course, some places can be slightly modified, but the overall design does not need to change too much."

"You're going to build a city underground?"

"Yes Sir."

"Crazy, all crazy, these wallfacers are crazy, one wants to cast a spell to the sky, and the other wants to build a city underground. It's ridiculous!" The representative of the British Sun sneered.

“But it does fit in with the PDC’s mainstream defence.”

The Eagle Sauce representative looked at the design drawing in silence for a long time. In fact, he had originally planned to bring up this matter at the next meeting, but he didn't expect that Lin Xuan would be one step ahead of him.

"Since you have this intention, Lin Xuan, then I'll leave this matter to you."

Surprisingly, the Eagle Sauce representative showed support for Lin Xuan's proposal for the first time, which surprised everyone else present.

“But let’s make it clear in advance that the PDC has no extra money left for you. If you want to build it, you have to figure it out yourself.”

Sure enough, just as Lin Xuan imagined, the Eagle Sauce representative was still as shameless as ever.

This clearly shows that one doesn't want to give money but wants benefits.

The construction of the dungeon was originally part of PDC's plan, and they were planning to use their own money to do things for them.

"Okay, but I have a condition. I need to transfer someone to my place."
