The entire piece of land was one acre. Xu Zhi continued to excavate and expand the space, building a simple hut. In it, there were many test tables, alchemy tables, and even test tubes, flasks, and some transparent bottles and jars. They filled the entire shelf, like a large chemistry laboratory.
In the distance, there was a lava river providing light.
"I can't carry out many experiments on the surface, so it's much easier here."
Xu Zhi wore an exquisite black wizard robe and looked outside the window.
His previous species needed to enter the Sorcerer World as the Messiah and study the "Magic Cube Gene" for many years before he could completely open up the system and form the Primordial World.
And now, he had to study the "System Gene".
Xu Zhi looked away from the window and stood on the alchemy table. He shook the glass test tube, which contained glucose nutrient solution, and gave an order:
"Zerg sub-brain, pull out the gene bank and reproduce the species' System '."
The mechanical voice came:
"Reproducing!"
On the square pool of petri dishes, the DNA of the primordial spores was arranged in a strange way, forming a specific primitive life. It was rapidly reproducing and forming chip templates.
"This is the life of the basic gene."
Xu Zhi looked down at the hairy tentacles of the chip. It was like a flat square turtle with seaweed tentacles, but he was not very satisfied with the patterns on the shell.
After all, this was not an electronic factory. The circuit patterns produced were like the stripes on a tiger's skin, there would be deviations! Even a large CPU factory's assembly line would have a high rate of defective products, not to mention living creatures.
Most of these chips were failed products.
Xu Zhi asked: "Sub-brain, what's the success rate?"
The mechanical voice came:
"The success rate is one in ten thousand. Most of this species have 1 to 5 circuit errors, causing the whole body to be unusable. If it is modified by humans, some finished products with fewer errors can be modified, and the success rate can be increased to one in a thousand."
Most of them need to be modified by humans?
Xu Zhi nodded.
Pan Xuexian herself did the same. Basically, she had to make slight adjustments when it appeared, but most of them were too deformed and there was no way to adjust them, so the production of the species was very low.
"One in ten thousand produced by natural conditions is too low. The system chip can adjust, but what if it reproduces into living creatures? How does the human brain adjust? Brain surgery? … If we're talking about the creation of life, normally, only one in ten thousand people will have the talent of the system! "
It was a terribly thorny problem.
Moreover, this was under the condition that the genes of other lifeforms had not been integrated into it. If the genes of other lifeforms were integrated into it, the success rate would be even lower!
"Am I asking too much?"
Xu Zhi sighed. It was a beautiful dream, but it was too difficult to achieve.
Even Pan Xuexian could not make everyone have a system, let alone himself. To create a world of intelligent life with all systems?
"I can only simplify it. This matter cannot be rushed."
Xu Zhi sighed and calmed down his anxious heart. He started to study the gene chip. "I can only remove the system layout and all the other characteristics … Only the core will be left as the simplest function of the computer — the super fast computing ability, storage, and reading ability."
Time continued to pass.
In the Lava World, he started his research on accelerating time. He spent a total of seven years, which was two hours in the real world, before simplifying the route of the life of the 'system' species.
After that, he used big data elimination and accelerated it by ten thousand times. He crazily produced hundreds of millions, billions of species, and then chose the ones that met the requirements. Then, he continued to reproduce, and the final success rate had reached one-third.
This was a qualitative change!
Hence, the basic system genes were optimized, and he proceeded to the next step — the test of fusing with humanoid genes.
He first chose the genetic models of orangutans and monkeys. However, he quickly discovered that these two could not be fused! In fact, it was impossible even if he chose the genes of modern humans.
"Why is this so?"
Xu Zhi wore a Magus robe and held a transparent glass test tube. Inside was a roaring miniature ape. "The system genes cannot be inserted? What is the reason? "
This was an unknown path.
It was as if there was some mysterious god's forbidden zone that separated silicon-based life from carbon-based life, the two completely different forms of life.
In the following period of time, Xu Zhi was completely determined to conduct the tests. He even used the 'system' that came with the experiment and made them into laboratory assistants, in charge of breeding and experimenting with countless species.
A huge experimental base of the 'Genesis' was established.
It was established to research the 'system gene fusion' experiment.
After all, the times were advancing. He had developed to this point, and the conditions were already extremely good. He could provide sufficient research power behind the scenes.
The mechanical assistants in the laboratory had chips embedded in the back of the heads of the humanoid black furry beasts, controlling their movements. They walked back and forth in the long corridor, entering and exiting the various laboratories.
"Code assistant 104, in charge of the Magus World's reptilian system gene fusion test!"
"Code assistant 803, in charge of the Primordial World's flying species system gene fusion test!"
…
The entire laboratory was neat and tidy.
As time passed, Xu Zhi did a large scale integration test. He tried to fuse all the species in the entire world into the system. After years of experimentation, he finally found the answer to the hundreds of thousands of native species in the Primordial World, the Magus World, and so on.
At this moment, the lava outside was emitting a halo.
As the office director of the Genesis Laboratory, Xu Zhi sat in front of the office table, sipping a mouthful of tea as he read a black report. Inside was the report of 179,000 species.
"Many species with low intelligence can fuse with the system gene … As for species with high intelligence, as long as they are slightly smarter, it is impossible for them to fuse with the system gene!
"So … the intelligence of a species is the truth that determines the fate of fusing with the system gene."
Xu Zhi suddenly thought of the greatest possibility!
The brain of silicon-based life — mechanical brain chip, memory, calculation, and CPU — he wanted to use it to replace the brain of flesh and blood life, achieving the advantages of a computer.
This could naturally be achieved without intelligence. After all, they did not have intelligence. Their brain only had biological instincts. It could even be said that the biological instincts of a mechanical program could naturally be replaced by another mechanical program …
What about high-intelligence life forms?
High-level life forms already had their own intelligence. The brain circuits and neurons in the brain of flesh and blood gave birth to something called "self-consciousness". They could think. If they were to be replaced by a mechanical brain chip and become an intelligent AI, it would be a conflict …
"The higher the level of a life with a brain, the harder it is to replace it with a mechanical AI circuit board? Is this the truth that cannot be achieved? "Xu Zhi took a deep breath. Things were more difficult than he had imagined.
He calmed himself down. After all, there was no such thing as a smooth journey. In exploring the unknown, obstacles and difficulties were the norm.
"Animals and wild beasts can fuse because they do not have much intelligence … Then let's fuse with animals first!
"Let's create an animal with a system brain!"
Xu Zhi took a deep breath, organized his thoughts, and began his research again. After many failures, the lab assistant in Room 803 finally created a rat-shaped giant beast with a system brain.
This was a giant beast species from the era of Gilgamesh in the Sorcerer World. It was known as the strongest giant beast — Finbar!
When Xu Zhi arrived and saw it for the first time, he felt that life was so wonderful. It was like a normal beast, eating, drinking, urinating, sleeping, hunting, running, and jumping, completely the same as a normal animal.
However, after Xu Zhi dissected its brain, its brain was no longer flesh and blood, but a ball of viscous liquid, like a nutrient solution. Within it was an octahedral black crystal core. It was crystal clear, as if it was the most beautiful evolved creation of the heavens. There were many patterns on the inner layer, which seemed to be its brain circuit.
"The shape of the chip has undergone a special mutation, becoming an octahedral black crystal. Its brain has been completely replaced by this octahedral crystal circuit board of silicon-based life!"
Xu Zhi revealed a hint of surprise.
After continuous inspection and testing, Xu Zhi came to a surprising conclusion.
"The animal instincts deep in its brain, neurons, pulse, nerve center, cranial nerves … have been completely replaced by circuit boards! They have been replaced by electronic components, circuit lines, and memory strips, but they can survive exactly the same … "
He did an experiment, an animal's habitual nerve reflex experiment, to see if the "brain" could carry out effective memory and reading.
Every time he fed, he would ring the bell.
After countless times, Finbar also became like an ordinary animal, forming a conditioned reflex. Every time the bell rang, it would run over eagerly, even wagging its tail and waiting for food.
"Sure enough, the brain formed by the silicon based electronic components of the chip can also perfectly read and write memories, its own nerve reflex."
Xu Zhi felt that he was as crazy as the evil Wizard Medusa, a crazy creator who was conducting a terrible life experiment!
At this moment, the joy of going through difficulties and setbacks, the huge results of his research, he suddenly wanted to share it with others. However, there was no one around to hug him, cheer loudly, and celebrate.
"I suddenly understand what Medusa meant. In the long years of leading the way, the loneliness of pursuing the truth alone … he wanted someone to accompany him." Xu Zhi sighed with emotion as he looked at the boiling river of lava in the distance, emitting a slow and deep heat.
"Continue the experiment!"
This was a completely ordinary animal like Finbar. If one did not dig his brain, they would not know that his brain was a black crystal, a super-small computer leading its behavior logic.
Xu Zhi suddenly felt very emotional, "Different cognitive logic will lead to different views …"
He suddenly remembered a science fiction story from Earth – "They Are Made of Meat"
We earthlings find the brain of silicon-based life very incredible. A circuit board, chip, and circuit can think. Although the continuous expansion of intelligent machinery and AI technology has allowed us to gradually accept the fact that silicon-based and electronic components may have intelligence, if silicon-based life saw us carbon-based life, would they also find it incredible?
If silicon-based life came to Earth, they would definitely be very surprised on the spaceship. "Oh my god! A lump of meat has consciousness? Meat is making machines? Meat is making mechanical life similar to us? Are you sure their brains are not electronic brains? "
"Oh! We have already conducted a thorough examination. It is indeed a lump of meat, completely made of meat. This is unimaginable. Their form of communication is even different from ours. They do not use the infinite signals in their brains to communicate. They communicate with each other through the sound of their flesh slapping against each other. They can even sing happily through the breath of meat! "
…
Xu Zhi just smiled.
Standing at a different height of civilization, one's understanding of the world will be different.
The universe is too big, and the various forms of extraordinary civilizations are unimaginable.
For example, it is difficult for people in the last century to imagine that in the era of telephones and high-speed trains, two people separated by countless distances can talk to each other. It is even difficult to imagine that a metal behemoth that can fly in the sky can fly.
"Then, can this brand new biological brain be transplanted?"
Xu Zhi revealed a smile.
In modern society, transplanting the brain is a difficult problem. This is because the brain is soft flesh and is very fragile. The slightest carelessness can cause the cerebral cortex, neurons, and thalamus to be damaged. However, the brain made of circuit boards does not seem to have such a problem.
Xu Zhi quickly tried transplanting Finbar's brain crystal core into another Finbar. Unexpectedly, the brain was successfully transplanted on the first try. Moreover, after using the 'Protection of Spring' to heal its wounds, it did not look any different.
"What a magical life form."
Xu Zhi could not help but admire the magic of the semi-silicon-based life form. This life form indeed has many characteristics that surpass humans and carbon-based flesh and blood life forms. Its calculation speed is as fast as a computer, and its storage and reading is very fast!
It can even be simply understood as a computer. The eyes are the cameras, the ears are the voice receivers, the mouth is the loudspeaker, and the behavior logic of a living creature is written in the chip.
"There are many advantages, but the weakness of silicon-based life is that its brain can be easily tampered with, and its life and death can be controlled by others …"
Xu Zhi laughed. "Turning on the brain and writing fictional memories in the memory chip is not a problem at all. Its life and death can be controlled, and it can even write down who it must be loyal to … Then, can I write the memories in Finbar's brain? Let its simple brain begin to mechanically train every day? Even in the inherited memories, there is witchcraft written on it? "
"If it is a computer, witchcraft is also a desktop software. For example, 'War Aura Hammer', it will automatically run when it is opened … Like the Protection of Spring? Flaming Wind? Earth Pulse? Meteorite Descent? "
Xu Zhi suddenly stood up, abnormally excited. He felt as if he had opened up a brand new path to a system that could create powerful beings in batches. Once they reached adulthood, they would be able to reach rank 6 or even rank 7!
They would have innate spells!
"A fusion of two life forms, a semi-silicon-based life form …" Xu Zhi was wearing a black Magus robe, holding a transparent test tube that contained the chip's gene cube. "A brand new era has begun."
"The chip in the brain, the crystal in the brain, can write and record spells …" He could not help but laugh. "This is destined to be a terrifying extraordinary world."
