Honkai Impact 3: Saving the former civilization by rubbing the black technology

Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary and there is no other way out, Ai Yue will not give priority to relying on Aponya's power.

"Then what do you have in mind?" Mebius looked at him. "Give me some suggestions, and let me see what you're capable of."

"I really don't have any good ideas," Ai Yue shook his head. "Right now, Dr. Mei's plan is indeed the only feasible option. Ultimately, the power we have is still too weak, and we don't have the qualifications to bargain with the higher-ups."

This was of course just a polite remark. As for plans, Ai Yue could come up with quite a few, but there was basically nothing that could be used right now.

He can't just say, I know the next Herrscher is the Herrscher of Consciousness, so we just need to kill her, take out her Herrscher Core, study it, and make a large-scale mind controller to brainwash all the dignitaries, right?

After saying this, not to mention whether he could deal with the top leaders of the Fire Moth, he himself would easily be caught and dissected by the two scholars in front of him.

Can you predict the next Herrscher's abilities? Could you be a spy sent by Honkai?

So such things will eventually have to remain in his stomach until the time comes, and he will do it himself.

If it really doesn't work...

Ai Yue took a look at the system's technology tree. In a remote corner, there was a dim star called "Mind Controller", waiting to be lit up.

Wait until I shave my head, then I'll COS Yuri and wash you all away!

Just like that, after a brief silence, this topic was ignored by several people. Until the next topic was brought up, no one proposed the method of "using the fusion warrior surgery with a 100% success rate to make the top management compromise."

Because they all know that it is impossible to make the top leaders obey by flattery and compromise. Human greed will only make them more greedy and want more.

If a person who holds power and is greedy at heart has a long life, the world will understand what true endless harm means.

This is also one of the reasons why Dr. Mei asked Ai Yue to hide himself - the extremely high failure rate of the fusion warrior surgery is precisely the reason why the top leaders of the Fire Moth have no bad intentions towards it. But if these people knew that there was a 100% stable way to become a fusion warrior, then they would definitely find ways to make themselves the only beneficiary.

If this group of people started a war to fight for the sole right to immortality, human civilization would be completely doomed.

"Okay, that's the main point," Dr. Mei concluded. "I'll select the right people to carry out the reshuffle and reorganization of the Poison Pupa Unit. Do you have anything else to say?"

"No." Mebius shook his head. "It has nothing to do with me anyway. If you have nothing to do, just leave. I still have a lot of work to do today."

"I have a question." Ai Yue suddenly remembered something important. "Dr. Mei, what is the status of the Fire Moth's research on artificial intelligence?"

Ai Yue didn't know whether the super AI "Prometheus" in the original plot was born at this time. If it could be born before the Eighth Herrscher appeared, many things would have new solutions.

"Artificial intelligence," Dr. Mei thought for a moment. "I'm not in charge of this project right now. If you're interested, I can take you to meet the project leader someday."

Chapter 25: Mobius cannot understand

Hearing Dr. Mei's words, Ai Yue couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Although the Fire Moth is very large, there are not many scholars who can say that it is "on par with it". If Dr. Mei can safely hand over a project like artificial intelligence, then the other party should at least be a scholar of the same level as her.

Aside from Mei and Mebius, the only one left should be...

"Is that Vivi still able to handle the situation?" Mebius, who obviously knew some inside information, couldn't help but ask after hearing Dr. Mei's words, "Aren't you planning to hand over the 'Key of God Project' to her as well?"

"She's the most suitable candidate. There's nothing we can do about it." Dr. Mei was also a little helpless. "I'm busy right now... But if Mr. Ai Yue has any ideas, why don't you take charge of the artificial intelligence project?"

"Are you sure? Artificial intelligence is a completely different field from the Fusion Warrior Project..." Mobius stopped mid-sentence and finally shook his head. "Oh, he didn't specialize in this field originally. That's fine then."

"Can you leave it to me?" Ai Yue was stunned for a moment. "Can you pass this kind of project around like a ball?"

"Anyway, Wei Erwei has been complaining about me assigning her too many projects, and she's taking the opportunity to demand excessive funding," said Dr. Mei, still smiling, but behind him was a faint trace of anger. "I'll take this opportunity to teach her a lesson and stop wasting the funds on strange things."

"But Velvet certainly won't hand over the project so easily," Mebius added. "She's very stubborn. If you want to convince her to spit out the meat she's got in her mouth, you'll have to prove your ability."

"Another way to prove my ability..." Ai Yue's expression was a little subtle, "Can't you all come together?"

He had not forgotten that the screening of Garuda's genomic information was originally a test for him by Mebius.

"We can't even come together. That guy is also a genius, but unfortunately, we are not the same kind of people." Mobius shook his head. "So even if we come together, you will have to take two tests."

"Okay." Ai Yue didn't say anything else, "Is there anything else? If not, I'll leave first."

"Leave the rest to us," Dr. Mei nodded. "I'll let you know in advance when Wei Erwei can come over."

"Okay." Ai Yue nodded. Just as he stood up, he seemed to remember something. "By the way, can you give me a copy of Kevin and his team's previous fusion warrior surgery records and related materials? I'd like to see them."

Dr. Mei and Mebius looked at each other, thought for a moment, and then nodded: "No problem, but this information cannot be passed on to others. You can only read it yourself."

After Ai Yue left, Mebius looked at Dr. Mei and asked, "What do you think of this person?"

"Hmm? Why are you saying that?" Dr. Mei blinked. "Is there something wrong with him?"

"I didn't see it, that's why I'm asking you." Mobius sighed. "But think about it, someone who can solve a problem that the entire research institute... no, the entire Fire Moth has been unable to solve for several years in just one day, that doesn't sound human, right?"

"What are you doubting?" Dr. Mei looked at Mebius. After years of getting along, she vaguely understood his thoughts and couldn't help but laugh. "Are you doubting that he's sent by Honkai?"

"It might not be Honkai, it could be something else, who knows." Mebius shrugged. "Anyway, if you tell me this guy is human, I don't quite agree."

"That's not something you would say, Mebius." Dr. Mei looked at her in surprise. "Don't you hate statements that define humanity in a very narrow sense?"

Mobius's scientific research philosophy is very unrestrained. She has been looking for ways to evolve humans throughout her life, even if it requires the help of the power of Honkai. The prototype of the Fusion Warrior Plan came from this.

It always feels a bit weird that such a person says others are "not human".

"Maybe it's a lack of conviction. Seeing someone else easily accomplish something I've painstakingly studied for who knows how many years, that deep-seated resentment might be what makes me want to deny others." Mobius was silent for a moment, then sighed. "So this is 'jealousy'? This is the first time I've experienced this feeling."

Dr. Mei just looked at Mebius quietly without saying anything - Mebius was not someone who was confused and needed others to enlighten her. She could figure out such a small matter by herself.

"Let's not talk about that anymore. How are things going over there?" Mobius calmed himself down, seemed a little embarrassed, and changed the subject. "The research on the Quantum Sea... is still not going well?"

"We've made a small breakthrough, but only a little." Dr. Mei sighed, feeling overwhelmed by the project at hand. "We can't even open the 'door' for thirty seconds, let alone a stable passage."

The quantum sea is a concept that only a very few people know, and it is also Dr. Mei's current main research direction. After all, it was because of a speech she gave on quantum mechanics that she was noticed by the Fire Moth.

However, although Dr. Mei has confirmed the existence of the quantum sea through theoretical deduction and experimental research, there is still a barrier between him and the real contact with it. If one day he can break this barrier and truly establish a channel connecting to the quantum sea, then there may be a new way out in the face of the threat of collapse.

In order to solve this problem as quickly as possible, Dr. Mei divided all other projects and handed them over to different research groups, but even so, the progress of the projects was not satisfactory.

"If that guy can pass Velvet's test," Mebius suddenly said, "wouldn't we let him try the Quantum Sea project as well?"

"Are you serious?" Dr. Mei looked at her and suddenly narrowed his eyes. "Or do you still doubt him?"

"I'm not doubting him, I'm just curious." Mobius covered his face with documents, leaving only his eyes exposed. "Is his wisdom innate, or is it acquired through learning?"

"If he was born with it, then he shouldn't have appeared in our field of vision until now. But if he learned it later in life, then how on earth was he able to master all of this in such a short time?"

Chapter 26: The Secret of Fusion Warrior Surgery

Ai Yue didn't know that Mebius was plotting against him again. His attention was now focused on Kevin's experimental report.

The observation report on the fusion warrior surgery was written in cold and precise terms, without a trace of humanity. It was unclear whether it was written by Dr. Mei or Mebius. It recorded in detail the entire process of Kevin's fusion warrior surgery.

The whole article can be summed up in two words: miracle.

All I can say is that Kevin is really lucky. Even this kind of extremely advanced killing surgery, whose success rate is only 1 in the sixth decimal place, failed to take his life. It is truly amazing.

Moreover, Ai Yue was certain that the formula for the Fusion Warrior Plan that he had obtained before had been optimized after Kevin's operation, so the situation Kevin faced at that time would only become more desperate.

The surgical record also included the super-mutation factor data of the emperor-level Honkai beast "Pavani" used by Kevin. Ai Yue entered it into the system's simulation construction and began his own simulation.

It was not until more than 9,000 times that Ai Yue successfully simulated an experiment in which Kevin survived, and that experiment also had serious sequelae - not only was Kevin's body temperature extremely low, but he also continued to emit high concentrations of Honkai energy around him. At this concentration, the person performing the operation on him would not be able to survive until the end of the operation and would become a dead soldier.

Moreover, the leakage of Honkai energy will greatly shorten Kevin's lifespan, and he will not be able to live as long as in the original plot.

In this situation, Kevin's body temperature only dropped. I can only say that he was too lucky.

However, Ai Yue asked for the report on the fusion warrior surgery not to see how white Kevin's face was, but more importantly to simulate different fusion results through different super-mutation factors, so as to improve the formula of the fusion warrior plan.

The reason why the super-mutation factor he deduced using the Garuda genome had an extremely high success rate was essentially because he screened out the wrong answers bit by bit through continuous trial and error. It did not mean that Ai Yue could achieve such a success rate using any Honkai beast gene.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to complete the ultimate fusion warrior formula, so as to reduce the difficulty and threshold of becoming a fusion warrior. Only in this way can there be a chance to realize the future of 1.3 billion or even 3 billion fusion warriors.

After fully understanding Pavanti's super-mutation factor, Ai Yue began to modify the fusion warrior formula and quickly perfected a small part of it, which increased the completion rate again.

This also proves his guess - optimization points are just a convenient setting to skip the research process by consuming materials. Even without optimization points, the entire project can be gradually improved through continuous learning and research on the project.

Putting Kevin's surgical record aside, Ai Yue picked up the second one, which was Alicia's surgical report.

Alicia's surgery was performed by Mebius alone, so the surgical report was very simple. It only gave a brief description of the entire process and results. There was not much valuable information, and even the success rate of the surgery was not written. It was obvious that this was a very informal operation.

If Ai Yue didn't want it, Mebius probably wouldn't have taken this thing out.

Like Kevin's surgical record, this one also comes with the super mutation factor of the Honkai Beast. Unlike Kevin, Alysia chose the genes of the Dharma-Ending-level Honkai Beast "Mahayana". It seems that there is only such a Dharma-Ending-level Honkai Beast in the entire Fire Moth.

What’s even more interesting is that Alicia’s fusion warrior surgery has no success rate at all in Ai Yue’s system.

If Kevin's surgery was a miracle that only happened once in tens of thousands or even millions of surgeries, then Alicia's surgery would only result in death on the spot even if it was performed hundreds of millions of times.

In other words, the super-mutation factor of the end-level Honkai beast processed by the current fusion warrior formula cannot be combined with humans to create a fusion warrior.

But Alicia is special after all - she probably realized this herself, which is why she wanted to become a fusion warrior in the first place.

After all, on the one hand, this can provide experience for those who come after you, and on the other hand, it can avoid the possibility of being discovered when the technology matures in the future.

Ai Yue optimized the genome of Mahadeva several times based on the new formula and his own experience. After finding that the success rate remained unchanged, he decisively gave up the record.

Perhaps I can only make a new breakthrough after I have the chance to get Alicia's materials.

Compared with the previous two people, the surgery performed by Mebius and Sakura was slightly more standardized. Ai Yue input the super mutation factors used by the two, and it didn't take much effort to repair it to a success rate of 96%.

After using the data from the two to further improve the fusion warrior formula, Ai Yue began to try his real goal for today - how to eliminate the sequelae of the fusion warrior surgery.

Sequelae are always an inevitable result of fusion warrior surgery, from Kevin's extremely low body temperature at the beginning, to Alicia's elf-like ears, to Mebius's snake slough, Sakura's fox ears, and even in the middle stage, when the super mutation factor was relatively complete, Padofilis still grew cat ears and a cat tail after undergoing surgery in the original plot.

This situation finally ended when Dr. Mei completely perfected the fusion warrior formula and created the second generation of super-mutation factor. At that time, Hua who received the super-mutation factor had no obvious sequelae.

However, Ai Yue's goal is not limited to this. What he wants to try now is whether he can reverse the sequelae left on the fusion warrior through a second operation or other means.

Perhaps the obvious deformation of the body cannot be eliminated, but things like imbalanced body temperature may not be unchangeable?

Ai Yue once again revised the fusion warrior formula based on the experimental results of the two people. At this moment, the completion of the formula has reached an astonishing 55%. With the data of about four or five more people, he will be able to allow the second-generation super-mutation factor to be born ahead of schedule.

But at this time he also realized a problem - that is, some sequelae are actually the key to the success of the fusion warrior operation.

The deformation of the body can become a kind of "buffer zone", eliminating the rejection caused by the fusion of human genes and Honkai beast genes, accommodating the redundant information in the genes, and thus increasing the success rate.

In other words, the more deformed the fusion warrior's appearance, the higher the success rate. If you want to simply and crudely increase the success rate, you should actually increase the probability of sequelae and leave enough buffer and redundancy for the fusion gene.

Ai Yue was suddenly shaken - after thinking about it carefully, this plan was both cheap and simple, and it was a plan that provided a direction and could be completed by Mebius after studying for a period of time. Could it be promoted?

What's more, it seems like it would be nice to have more beast-eared girls in the world, right?

Chapter 27 Come join us

The beast-eared girl plan was finally rejected by Ai Yue himself.

After all, although this world has experienced many vicissitudes, the current gender ratio is still dominated by men. In other words, for every beast-eared girl that the fusion warriors create, they will definitely create more... uh, beast-eared men?

So this will definitely not be the final version of the Fusion Warrior Program, but it can still be used as a transitional version.

Ai Yue simulated in the system for a long time and finally found a formula that could stably construct a deformed body. In this way, the success rate of the fusion warrior operation would increase significantly, and the rest of the optimization program should be left to Mobius.

After all, mass production is not something that Ai Yue can do alone. If he wants to increase the number of fusion warriors to prepare for the future war, he must rely on the power of the Fire Moth.

After sending the updated formula and general description to Mebius through the Fire Moth intranet, Ai Yue focused his attention on the next matter.

Kevin's body temperature is out of control. Can it be reversed through subsequent operations?

Ai Yue directly chose to use Kevin's hair that he had obtained before, and successfully obtained new scientific research progress and optimization points. Kevin's current genome data was also presented to him without any concealment.

Ai Yue studied it for a long time and used up all his optimization points, and finally came up with one good news and one bad news.

The good news is that at present, it is indeed possible to repair the information loss caused by forced fusion of the genome through subsequent operations, but the bad news is that it cannot be done by the Fusion Warrior formula alone.

Even if Ai Yue managed to come up with a complete version of the fusion warrior formula, he could not completely fix the loopholes that had occurred. Although he could rely on special potions to temporarily restore Kevin to normal, that was only temporary.

However, the Fusion Warrior Plan may not be able to do it, but what if other means are added?

Ai Yue withdrew from the current project, and the technology tree like a galaxy appeared in front of him again. He looked upwards in the direction of the Fusion Warrior Plan and soon saw the "Body Transformation Surgery (Shocker Version)".

If we can refer to other similar technologies and enable the Fusion Warrior Program to continue to make breakthroughs in its original level of completion, then things may turn around.

Of course, before that, I should prepare the gift for Kevin first.

Ai Yue took out the prepared materials from the bag beside him and frowned again.

There are not enough materials. It turns out that I still need to start a project to get funds for the Fire Moth.

Ai Yue lived a very peaceful life in the next few days.

I get up every morning to do some scientific research. If I feel a little dizzy, I go to have lunch. In the afternoon, I check on Padova's training, then go for a walk. After dinner, I go to chat with Aponia. In the evening, I come back to continue doing scientific research. If I feel sleepy, I go to bed. When I wake up the next day, I continue the cycle.

In fact, he had lived a similar life in Dusk Street before. The difference was probably that the environment and conditions at the Fire Moth Base were much better. At least he didn't have to eat the same canned food and compressed biscuits every day.

I heard that the children in the Dusk Street Sanatorium can now eat different vegetables every day. I don’t know when I can go back to visit them.
