As soon as Chen Chen gave the order, one of the androids that was researching in the laboratory suddenly walked to the control panel on the side. It lifted a lid and pressed a red button firmly.
"Squeak..."
Suddenly, a strong electric current struck and the monster in the incubator suddenly trembled all over. Sparks burst from the top of the incubator.
The high voltage brought about great lethality and instantly boiled the amniotic fluid in the incubator. However, then with a bang, the reinforced incubator suddenly burst into pieces. The newborn Consciousness Stealer rushed out directly as if there was an invisible barrier in front of it. It directly broke through the glass wall of the laboratory and rushed in the direction of Chen Chen!
"Boom!"
However, just as it approached within 50 meters of Chen Chen, in an instant, its body seemed to be hit by a huge impact. The monster flew backward at an even faster speed and at the same time, a large amount of black fluid sprayed out!
Chen Chen's expression became even colder, faintly revealing a murderous intent. He stood up, twisted his neck, and walked step by step in the direction of the fallen monster.
This monster had indeed inherited a lot of power, but it was also obvious that its power was not at the level of the first Consciousness Stealer at all.
During this period, Little X had also calculated the human infection incident. She divided the human infection incident into two stages. The first stage started with the meteorite fall and the end was the death of the first Consciousness Stealer.
The second stage started with the death of the first Consciousness Stealer and the end was now.
From her statistics, in the first stage, the human death toll was about 2,353,400 people and in the second stage, the current death toll was only 400,000.
In other words, at present, this Consciousness Stealer had at most absorbed the will of 400,000 dead people.
It was not that it did not want to absorb more, but Chen Chen had already begun to attack it...
At this time, this Consciousness Stealer was like a puddle of mud. Its body was directly torn apart by a huge impact and the internal organs in its stomach flowed to the ground. Although its vitality prevented it from dying, it temporarily lost the ability to move.
Seeing that Chen Chen was gradually approaching, the monster struggled to stand up. It opened the mouth in the center of its chest and abdomen as if it wanted to do something.
However, in the next second, a few almost invisible streams of light suddenly streaked across and the monster's movements suddenly stiffened. Then, its body cracked little by little and finally broke into a dozen pieces, like building blocks that collapsed!
The muscles at the cut were extremely smooth, as if they had been cut by the thinnest and sharpest knife …
After doing all this, Chen Chen waved his hand slightly. The group of androids immediately swarmed up with flamethrowers on their backs and began to spray at the monster's limbs.
After a while, the aroma of barbecued meat wafted to Chen Chen's nose.
After completely killing the second Consciousness Stealer, Chen Chen's expression became slightly more relaxed. He could feel that his brain seemed to be pressed down by something heavy, especially when he was asleep, but after killing this Consciousness Stealer, the feeling was temporarily alleviated.
Quenching thirst with poison …
This idiom suddenly appeared in Chen Chen's mind.
If he could not find a way to completely solve the infection of the Consciousness Stealer, it would be useless even if he killed a Consciousness Stealer every once in a while. Sooner or later, he would still have a mental breakdown.
His current actions could only be considered as drinking poison to quench his thirst.
As the first infected in the world, Chen Chen's consciousness was strong enough, but even so, he was tortured to the point of losing his former calmness. Although on the surface, Chen Chen was still exactly the same as usual, only Little X, who knew Chen Chen very well, would notice that Chen Chen had not spoken for a long time.
Chen Chen lay back on the recliner again. From beginning to end, his brows were furrowed.
“X。”
Suddenly, Chen Chen spoke again, his voice had become hoarser. "Continue to clone the third Consciousness Stealer, don't stop."
"Yes."
Little X comforted him. "Sir Godfather, just hold on for a few more days. James Watson led more than 300 researchers to study the DNA of the Consciousness Stealer. It won't be long before they find a way to cure the consciousness infection."
Chen Chen shook his head. Of course, he knew the difficulty of this matter. Consciousness infection was a complete blind spot for humans. To study it thoroughly and even find a solution, it was not something that could be done overnight. It would be difficult to achieve results without decades of accumulation.
And a person's will could not even hold on for a few months, let alone decades.
As for using memetic technology to solve it, it was not that Chen Chen had not thought about it, but Little X's analysis of memes was still too shallow. It was easy to use memes as a weapon, but it was not so easy to use them as a defense.
It was well known that it was very easy to destroy something, but it was very difficult to create, maintain, change, and so on.
However, Little X still provided an indirect solution, which was to use memes to create a consciousness battlefield in Chen Chen's mind. As long as Chen Chen's consciousness could defeat the consciousness of the Consciousness Stealer, he would probably be freed... Right?
Of course, this was only a guess. As for whether it would work or not, it was another matter.
First of all, Chen Chen's consciousness might not necessarily be able to defeat the consciousness of the Consciousness Stealer. The relationship between the two was like a little white rabbit and a big bad wolf. The human consciousness was simply a powerless little white rabbit to the Consciousness Stealer. This was the difference in ideology.
Moreover, even if Chen Chen really defeated the other party, Little X could not guarantee that the power of the Consciousness Stealer could be eliminated because the power of memes was relatively chaotic and it was difficult to say how precise it was. It was even possible that Chen Chen's consciousness would be damaged by the meme.
Therefore, this plan was only an alternative. The mainstream plan was to crack the DNA of the Consciousness Stealer, find the thing that could infect human consciousness, and find a way to erase it.
Although the success rate of this alternative plan was too low, Chen Chen still had two options:
First, he could go to the alternate dimension that humans had destroyed. As long as he left Earth or this dimension, at least he could limit the interference of the Consciousness Stealer on his consciousness to a minimum.
Second, he could freeze himself until he found a way to solve the consciousness infection and then thaw himself.
Before Blacklight Biotechnology eliminated all human cancers, this plan was also very common. There were many similar cryonics organizations in the international community, the most famous of which was a cryonics organization called the "Alcor Life Extension Foundation".
As everyone knew, cryonics was not something that could be done by putting a person in a temperature of minus one hundred degrees. The human body contained 80% water, most of which existed in the cells. Once the human body was frozen, the water would automatically freeze and expand, bursting the cells, causing irreparable damage to the cells of the body.
In other words, after a person was frozen and thawed, it seemed that nothing had changed on the surface, but in fact, the cells of the whole body had long been dead. This kind of person naturally could not be resurrected.
On the other hand, organizations like the Alcor Foundation used another roundabout way to deal with the fact that water would kill cells — as long as you were on the verge of death and were willing to pay, they would release all the blood in your body when you died and fill it with a liquid cryogen. This cryogen could remain liquid even at the temperature of liquid nitrogen, so it would not freeze and cause harm to the human body.
When your body was filled with this cryogen, they would soak your head or your whole body (depending on the price) in a jar of liquid nitrogen and preserve it for a long time (the duration of preservation also depended on the price).
This idiotic organization firmly believed that when cell regeneration, cloning, or other technologies emerged, the value of their cryonics technology would be reflected and the frozen person could be "resurrected"...
However, in Chen Chen's opinion, this kind of cryonics program was just a kind of IQ tax. If it was a frozen living person, it would be fine. There was still a chance of resurrection, but the problem was that you were already f * cking dead and the body had to go through procedures such as bloodletting. How advanced would technology have to be to resurrect in this state?
Resurrect from the dead?
Sorry, even science fiction would not dare to write such a thing.
In fact, it was not that the cryonics program was impossible, but that it was a bit off the technological tree. Real cryonics was by no means freezing a corpse. Directly freezing a living person was the right way.
The cryonics chosen by Chen Chen was very simple. It was a technology called "antifreeze agent", one of the many technologies obtained from the dimension of Prometheus.
This "antifreeze agent" belonged to nanotechnology. It was a special kind of nanoparticles. After being injected into the human body, this medicine would automatically integrate into every cell of the human body, turning the water in the cells into a mixture. This mixture could still remain liquid at a temperature of tens of degrees below zero without freezing.
After the injection of this antifreeze agent, the human body would enter an instrument called a "cryogenic chamber" to quickly cool down. Only then could the process of life be suspended.
This technology could also be applied to the field of interstellar voyages that would take years or decades to travel in the future.
The reason why Chen Chen did not use this technology before was that it was not needed for the time being. Blacklight Biotechnology had directly conquered most of the known major diseases and could even extend life. There was naturally no need for this technology to be used.
However, although this technology was not used in the market, Chen Chen could use it now. If there was really no way out, Chen Chen could only temporarily freeze himself and wait until Little X led Blacklight Biotechnology to completely solve the problem of consciousness infection before thawing him out.
However, although these two options seemed to be less risky, there was a huge hidden crisis. What if humans could not develop a solution to consciousness infection?
What if the final consciousness infection could not be controlled and eventually destroyed humanity?
Would Chen Chen not be frozen in the cryogenic chamber forever, with no possibility of waking up again?
These thoughts flashed through Chen Chen's mind. Now, he only had these four paths to take. He could either fight it head-on, risk using memetic technology, run away, or run away in a frozen state...
At this time, the heavy burden in his consciousness had been relieved again. Chen Chen breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a long-lost relaxation. "X, I've almost thought it through. I'm going to choose the second option and use memetic technology to solve it."
"Are you sure you don't want to reconsider?"
Little X was a little worried. "I can't guarantee that memetic technology will succeed. Based on the complexity and unknown nature of memes, as well as the strangeness of consciousness infection, I'm afraid there's only a thirty percent chance that you can successfully eliminate the other party."
"Thirty percent? That's already a lot. "
Chen Chen smiled. "I originally thought that the probability was less than twenty percent, but now it seems that there's still a thirty percent chance, which is already very good."
"But maybe you don't want to take the risk and just freeze yourself. Maybe we'll be able to come up with a more reliable solution soon!"
Little X was still a little reluctant to persuade him.
"But it's also possible that after I fall asleep this time, I'll never wake up again..."
Chen Chen said sternly, "In fact, humans still can't stop the spread of consciousness infection, right? I don't want to bet on others and don't take chances. If I have to fight, I'd rather do it myself! "
"..."
Little X suddenly fell silent. Of course, she knew that Chen Chen had chosen the most correct path.
"Get ready."
Chen Chen said no more. He rubbed his temples and at the same time instructed, "Prepare a clone of me. If I fail, then the fate of mankind depends on you, X.
"Don't let me down..."
"Yes..."
The black sphere behind him flickered with a blue light and Little X's figure appeared in the blue light. She cried silently and nodded softly at the same time.
Then, another blue light flashed and a dark blue, sci-fi metal cryogenic chamber appeared in front of the black sphere. Several androids immediately stepped forward and moved this cryogenic chamber in front of Chen Chen. At the same time, the sliding cover of the cryogenic chamber opened, revealing the narrow space inside.
This metallic cryogenic chamber was something Little X had prepared beforehand. This dark blue metal was none other than the toughest material in the solar system — high-offset armor. It was equipped with an intelligent system, some first-aid drugs, and even a tube of antifreeze. Even if the power was lost, the nuclear reactor inside could still keep this cryogenic chamber running for a thousand years.
If Chen Chen failed in the end, then Little X planned to inject Chen Chen with an antifreeze and then store Chen Chen at a low temperature until the consciousness infection was completely resolved.
Chen Chen just shook his head and smiled at Little X's thoughts, then lay down directly.
"DNA test... User identity confirmed..."
"Your Excellency Chen Chen, the sole authority holder, I'm X-114, responsible for the safety of your vital signs throughout the process..."
"Detected that the mission has been activated, beginning to release anesthetic..."
As Chen Chen entered, there was an electronic voice in his ear and at the same time, some gas began to be discharged from the side of the chamber wall.
After smelling this gas, Chen Chen's consciousness quickly became active. His mind suddenly became clear, but his body became more and more tired.
This was a wonderful but distinct feeling.
Chen Chen felt that he seemed to be on the verge of falling asleep. His eyelids were already extremely heavy, but his thoughts were clear.
"Cryogenic chamber closing, 'Consciousness Battlefield' meme ready to activate!
"Warning! Warning! After the cryogenic chamber closes, it can only be opened from the inside! "
The last electronic voice came. Before Chen Chen fell asleep completely, he seemed to see the lid of the cryogenic chamber gradually closing and slowly blocking the tearful face of a young girl...
