Chapter 2294 The Value of Life 1
Yang Xinxin didn't hesitate at all, but looked at Zhang Yi with admiration.
"Of course that's fine, brother! You're right."
She continued, "Humans, especially those who have not experienced the torture of society, are simple and pure. Their essence is also the purest."
"This is certainly a better extraction material than the centipede!"
"If you have such plans, brother, we need to build a large-scale testing ground. We can mass-produce human embryos and then cultivate them until they have mature spiritual essence."
"During this process, we need to add a screening step. Only individuals with strong spiritual power will be cultivated. This will save a lot of resources."
Yang Xinxin's tone was flat, and it sounded like they were discussing raising chickens.
Lu Keren couldn't help but hug his arms.
"Isn't it a little too evil? I can't stand thinking about that scene."
Yang Xinxin lowered her eyes and said calmly, "If you see through the essence of life, that it is just an etheric aggregate controlled by the Creator, a part of the collective unconscious, then you won't find it cruel."
Zhang Yi thought of the [Gate of Eternal Destruction] in the Southwest Region, and the Spear of Longinus forged with the lives of countless creatures under the Eye of the Devil, and suddenly felt that the meaning and value of life were difficult to measure accurately.
Sometimes, life can be quantified. Especially when the entire group may be extinct, the value of the individual is not so high.
Zhang Yi thought for a moment and said, "I just think this matter is worth studying."
He looked at Zhou Ke'er and Yang Xinxin and said, "Ke'er, you are an expert in the field of biological sciences. You and Xinxin can do an experiment and study this matter when you have time."
"If it works... maybe we can find a shortcut to human evolution."
This may sound a bit exaggerated.
After all, the many powerful people who appear in the world today are the result of a mass extinction of species and the return and release of a super-ancient god-level civilization.
The release of life energy equivalent to tens of billions of levels has led to the birth of mutated super individuals among humans and a large number of underground civilizations.
Zhang Yi even came up with a bold idea.
"If the ether fragments appear after the fusion of reproductive cells, then we can easily obtain tens of billions, hundreds of billions, or even trillions of ether fragments!"
This is just a joke of course.
But Zhang Yi's words have expressed his attitude that the experiment must be done.
Lu Keran spread his hands and said, "Brother, just do it if you want to!"
She suddenly rolled her eyes and said, "Well, even if we don't do it, maybe others are already doing it!"
This sentence made Zhou Keer frown immediately, and Zhang Yi's eyes became deep.
"That's exactly what I'm worried about."
After the end of the world, humans will do anything to become stronger and to ensure that their race can survive the crisis of mass extinction.
As long as there is a possibility of becoming stronger, there will be plenty of people willing to do it, even if it means eating excrement.
Zhou Ke'er took a deep breath and said, "I understand! Leave this matter to me."
Zhang Yi walked down from the throne, came to Zhou Keer, and held her in his arms.
Only Zhou Keer could do this because she is a doctor and has a relatively strong tolerance for such cruel and even somewhat inhumane experiments.
"Don't force yourself. If you insist on doing something inhumane, then stop."
Zhou Keer nodded.
"The key point that needs to be confirmed is whether the embryo develops self-awareness at the time when the etheric fragments descend from the higher dimensions."
"If at that time, it was still in its early stages and could not be considered human from a biological perspective, I think there would be nothing wrong with that."
Zhang Yi nodded. "Anyway, let's try it! We have plenty of resources to use now."
If successful, it would be equivalent to converting the resources of the material world into ether fragments.
There was a strange light in Yang Xinxin's eyes, but she didn't say another word.
Because the definition of life varies from person to person.
Perhaps when the ether fragments are injected into the embryo, consciousness is born?
No one knows what the outcome will be.
But Yang Xinxin has made up her mind that once she finds that this path is feasible, she will definitely do it.
……
Zhang Yi simply arranged the finishing work for the people around him, and all he had to do next was wait.
Waiting for the battlefield to be cleaned up.
However, during this process, he still went out for a while.
Because in the underground world, not everyone is one of us, there are also outsiders.
He was referring, of course, to the pair from the Natural Sciences Society in Colombia.
Lu Keren has completely taken control of the Iron Curtain of the Sky, and everything in the entire Wuluan Empire is under her control.
Zhang Yi directly locked their location.
Professor Da Vinci and Brian arrived at the Imperial Academy of Sciences and Ancient Documents Archives shortly after the battle.
Like Zhang Yi, they are very interested in the technology and history of this country.
When Zhang Yi arrived here, two people were looking through materials in the huge archive.
Although some ancient books have been preserved, high-tech civilization will naturally not rely on books that are easily damaged, so all data has become data.
Professor Da Vinci came to the center of the archives and began to download the information of the entire database very skillfully.
"Oh my God! The data here is so huge that the storage device I brought can't hold it all."
"Well, I'm not very interested in their modern civilization. Let's start downloading from ancient history!"
Professor Da Vinci was busy when Zhang Yi walked in from outside.
"Hey, are you busy?"
He smiled and raised his hand in greeting.
Brian pricked up his ears, smiled affectionately, and raised his paw.
"Chaos, you're back!"
It came to Zhang Yi, took a look at Zhang Yi, and found that although there was a smell of blood on Zhang Yi's body, it all came from the lizard man.
It said in surprise, "Oh, damn! You killed that big lizard man and didn't get hurt at all. Damn Chaos, you are a genius!"
Professor Da Vinci said: "If [Absolute Defense] causes injury, it will definitely not be a minor injury, and it may mean failure."
"So his battle won't be easy, am I right?"
Zhang Yi nodded. "That's true. I fought him for quite a while, consuming a huge amount of resources. But fortunately, the outcome is always good."
