Resurrection Empire

Chapter 716 269 Quantum Mayfly's Nightmare_2

"Mm."

Ren Zhong: "By the way, the special Wrist watch you wanted that doesn't connect to the network is undergoing reliability tests; it should be delivered soon."

Sun Miao nodded, "That's good. This way we can see Sun Ai's dreams. I also wonder what kind of dreams would be generated from the memories of a hundred thousand people mixed together."

After waiting for a few more minutes, Ying walked out from the isolation room, "There's a new situation."

Sun Miao: "What situation? Weren't her vital signs all normal?"

Ying's face turned slightly red, "I... my breast milk isn't enough for her. She's still hungry."

Sun Miao was taken aback, "Hmm?"

About fifteen minutes later, Ren Zhong and Sun Miao exited the isolation room.

At this point, Sun Ai was eagerly sucking on a straw that was delivering easily absorbable liquid food.

Sun Miao quietly opened the bio-scanner again, and a large array of parameters refreshed.

The more he looked, the more grave his expression became.

Another half hour passed, and Sun Miao sighed, "Sigh!"

Ren Zhong: "What's wrong?"

"Didn't you notice she's grown a bit taller already?"

Ren Zhong: "Hmm?"

"Just like when she was an embryo, her growth rate is ten times that of a normal person. Her one day is equivalent to ten days for an ordinary person. Also..."

"What?"

"After acquiring a soul, there hasn't been a noticeable change in the telomerase activity of her other cells, meaning she still possesses an unlimited multiplication ability. But telomerase in her upper neuron cells is reverting to normal human levels. This means she might die. Even though her body can remain forever young, her brain will age and die."

Ren Zhong gathered all the information and asked a fatal question, "So she actually only has a four-year lifespan?"

Sun Miao nodded, "In a sense, yes. She is entirely opposite to us. When we die, our bodies are already old, but our brains are actually still young. Her body stays eternally youthful, but her brain will die prematurely. Sigh... this..."

Hearing Sun Miao's near-despairing assessment, Ren Zhong didn't know how to comfort him.

Ren Zhong thought for a long time, "You know that Level Seven Mechanical Warrior has an ability called Consciousness Upload, right?"

"I know, what's up?"

"Let her master Consciousness Upload. Her brain data is different from ordinary people, and once Consciousness Upload is activated, there's a chance to preserve her brain information. Her neuron cells' telomerase function is normal, oh no, it's similar to cancer cells' characteristics, right?"

Sun Miao: "Yes."

"Then her neuron cells have infinite possibilities. By using directional cloning to create new neuron cells for her, synthesizing a cloned brain, and continuously replacing brain carriers for her, her consciousness can achieve immortality. This is called mechanical ascension."

Sun Miao: "Huh? This..."

He was deeply shocked by Ren Zhong's scientific-mad-like inspiration.

He instinctively wanted to refute, but felt it might be the only way.

After pondering hard for a long time, Sun Miao finally concluded, "I'm not as good as you."

Ren Zhong shook his head, "It's not your fault."

"Huh?"

"In any case, although the enigma of telomeres remains unsolved and we're even perplexed by new mysteries, we've at least found a way to achieve immortality. Moreover, she's just born now, who knows what surprises she might bring us in the future? The memories that can be preserved after death are surely the essence of a person's life. Brother Sun, you must believe in the wisdom of a hundred thousand people. I actually think maybe Sun Ai herself will solve your and my puzzles, right?"

Sun Miao: "Mm."

Although he vaguely thought of a possible solution, it was still just a possibility. After Sun Ai was full and sound asleep, Ren Zhong and Sun Miao told Tang Shuying about the situation truthfully.

With the risk of the Alien Ore resolved, Tang Shuying could resume her real name.

"Is that so?"

After hearing what the two had to say, Tang Shuying turned towards the isolation room, where Sun Ai was sleeping sweetly inside.

There was disappointment in her eyes, but she quickly adjusted.

She unexpectedly began to comfort Ren Zhong and Sun Miao, "You have never been parents, so you don't understand. As parents, our greatest hope isn't that our children achieve great things or become exceptional people. We hope that our children can simply and ordinarily live out their lives."

"Before giving birth to her, I was full of hatred for this world. I even hoped she could help me get revenge. But earlier, when I heard her cry, that feeling of hatred suddenly faded away, and I started hoping she would become ordinary."

"But now I've changed my mind again. She was born to be different. The three of us all overlooked one thing: she is the continuation of the will of the Nameless City. Earlier when the two of you went out, there was a very complex change in emotion in her eyes. I believe they were mixed with fear, hatred, persistence, and other emotions."

"Her life may be short, but I believe it will definitely be very brilliant."

At this moment, a clear voice suddenly sounded from the basement's voice communication.

"Dad, Mom, Uncle, I've just entered the monitoring system of the base, your conversation woke me up."

The three were shocked and quickly turned their gazes to the life-sustaining chamber.

Sun Ai was still sleeping soundly.

"I'm talking to you in my dream."

Ren Zhong: "But you're not wearing the Wrist watch."

Sun Ai seemed to muse for a moment, then said, "Uncle, I just looked up the function of the Wrist watch, I don't need that thing."

Ren Zhong: "Hm. So you..."

"Uncle, the method you were thinking about just now, I don't know if it's feasible or not. But you don't need to be sad. I... we are already very satisfied."

The three captured Sun Ai's key term, "we."

At this moment, she was speaking with the identity of one hundred thousand "ancestors."

Her voice suddenly turned into a loud chorus.

"In the face of unbeatable oppression, we once despaired. We also experienced tragic failures. But we never expected that there would be a day when we would wake again. We can still see the spark of revolution. We have no regrets."

Then the tone shifted back to Sun Ai's single crisp child's voice.

"Uncle, Dad, Mom, on behalf of all the residents of the Nameless City, I thank you, on behalf of all the oppressed and suffering wastelanders on Source Star, I thank you! There is much knowledge in my memories, and I can hear voices you cannot hear. Even if I might only live for four years, I will certainly contribute to Uncle's cause! Uncle, complete our unfinished work! I can't hold on anymore, I'm so sleepy, good night everyone. Sigh..."

This time, she truly fell asleep.

But the next second, a three-dimensional projection appeared on the demonstration platform on the side of the laboratory.

This was the "dream" Sun Ai actively shared with them.

It was a nightmare.

The nightmare's scene was a fierce war.

The true meaning of the Nameless City was far more complicated than what was described in the superficial historical records of Bone Valley.

It was not just an illegal city formed by a spontaneous gathering of the lower wastelanders.

Behind it, there was a large group of extraordinary wastelanders fueling the change.

That generation once attempted to gather scattered strength together and use the city they established to fight for legal rights for wastelanders.

It was the strongest sound of resistance made by the most powerful group of wastelanders on Source Star a hundred years ago.

Of course, they failed.

They didn't even have the chance to witness the true Source Star army.

They were defeated by a Level Eight Mechanical Warrior, a genius Citizen.

This genius Citizen had the last name Ma.
