"Then let's talk as we walk." Jiang Fei immediately made this matter a reality.
"Okay!" Lina nodded. Then, she asked one of the Clone Warriors to pilot the mech to help the clone recruits who were charging at the front. After that, she walked side by side with Jiang Fei. As they walked, she began to explain to Jiang Fei about the Life Extension Center.
"To put it bluntly, this Life Extension Center is actually a large-scale human cloning experiment base! Lina said slowly. What she said was basically the same as what Jiang Fei had seen before.
According to Lina, this Life Continuation Center, just like its name, the main purpose of its existence is to ensure the number of people in the gamma space, so as to avoid the extinction of people in the gamma space due to population shortage.
Through the research of the people in the Gamma Dimension, the higher the dimensional space, the weaker their ability to reproduce. This led to the gradual decrease in the number of intelligent creatures in the Gamma Dimension starting from the fourth dimension.
Although this decrease was relatively small, as their technological level continued to improve and their cognitive level continued to increase, their ability to reproduce also continued to decline.
It was just like the old saying in Jiang Fei's hometown: God is always fair!
Although the higher dimensional space had an overwhelming advantage over the lower dimensional space, even if there was a spatial compensation mechanism, it could not make up for the difference in strength between the two sides. After all, after finding a way, the people in the higher dimensional space could almost do whatever they wanted in the lower dimensional space.
However, as a price, the higher the dimensional intelligent life, the weaker their ability to reproduce. The Gamma Dimension was only in the fourth dimension, so their ability to reproduce was still acceptable. With the discovery of technology, so far, their population had only shown a slight negative growth. If they wanted to die out naturally, it would take thousands of years.
However, the rulers of the Gamma Dimension had obviously realized this problem. If they could not balance this, they would either give up the exploration of technology or watch their own race die out at an accelerated rate.
Therefore, the Life Extension Center appeared. The people of the Gamma Dimension wanted to make up for the negative growth of the population through human cloning technology. However, the problem they faced was equally serious. From the fourth dimension onwards, souls would not be automatically generated. This was something Jiang Fei did not know before.
Back on Earth, Jiang Fei had also used human cloning technology. Many girls, including Bella, were brought out of the game world by Jiang Fei through human cloning technology. At that time, Jiang Fei had to be careful about the time when the clones matured. If it was too early, the clones would automatically generate consciousness. In other words, they would generate a soul out of thin air!
In the Gamma Dimension, this was absolutely impossible. Here, a clone was a clone. It would never "come back to life". Just like when Jiang Fei asked to "inspect the goods", Lina's men pushed a clone through the streets. The clone did not say that it had self-awareness and had its own soul.
The purpose of the Life Extension Center was to balance the negative growth of the population. Therefore, they obviously could not just clone human bodies. They had to let these clones come alive so that they could integrate into society and make up for the gap in the negative growth of the population.
However, souls in the Gamma Dimension would not appear out of thin air. Therefore, the scientists of the Gamma Dimension developed a very complicated device that could extract powerful souls from low-latitude space and let them enter the Gamma Dimension.
After these souls entered the Gamma Dimension, their original memories would be washed away and then put into the bodies of those clones. As the Life Extension Center was run by the government, its purpose was only to make up for the negative growth of the population. Therefore, when it cloned people, it tried to maintain the laws of nature as much as possible.
In this way, there was only one difference between the clones of the Life Extension Center and the normal people of the Gamma Dimension. Other than the fact that they had no parents, they were just like others. They grew up from the infant stage until they went to school, graduated, and integrated into society.
Therefore, after these clones entered society, no one knew that they were clones. They had their own identity codes, their own careers, and their own families. They lived a life no different from ordinary people.
They were not like the warriors cloned by the sheriff, who were born to serve someone.
"So that's how it is …" Jiang Fei nodded.
"Yeah. Actually, we're not the only ones facing this problem. Intelligent creatures that are in a higher dimension than us will face even more severe problems. According to scientists' calculations, the fertility of people in the fifth dimension is even lower. Moreover, they are unable to obtain souls from the lower dimension. So, they are either still in the primitive stage or have gone extinct due to the rapid decline in their fertility due to technological advancement!" Lina said to Jiang Fei.
"This …" Jiang Fei did not expect that in the higher dimension, the creatures that should have enjoyed more privileges would have to face such a choice …
They could either live like primitive people or become extinct after learning how to think …
"Isn't that a little too …" Jiang Fei's eyes widened.
"Actually, this is just a guess. After all, we have never come into contact with the five-dimensional space. This is just a guess made by scientists based on our situation," Lina said to Jiang Fei.
"Oh!" Jiang Fei nodded.
"What else do you want to know?" Lina asked.
"Then, where did you use the souls to clone these soldiers?" Jiang Fei asked.
"Of course, they are also from the three-dimensional world!" Lina said matter-of-factly.
"Also from the three-dimensional world?" Jiang Fei was stunned.
"Yes. In the beginning, including the Life Extension Center, we used bewitchment to obtain souls!" Lina explained. "Because of the limited level of technology in the past, even if we were to obtain souls from the three-dimensional world, we had to obtain those souls that were strong enough. So, we made up a lie called 'Ascension' to trick the top experts into abandoning their physical bodies and entering the four-dimensional space as souls!"
"Err …" Jiang Fei was completely speechless. He never thought that the legendary Ascension was actually a huge scam!
"However, with the advancement of technology, we can now extract the weaker souls from the three-dimensional world. But the conditions are still the same. The souls in the three-dimensional world have to actively cooperate. It is impossible to forcibly extract them," Lina said.
"Then, do the people in the three-dimensional world like to cooperate so much?" Jiang Fei asked.
