121: Chapter 121 Terrorist Organization Leader
Location: Resident Evil Dimension, Hive Base.
Wearing a white lab coat, Lin Fang was discussing an issue in the laboratory with an elderly man.
"Isaac, can the Hades Chip be further optimized?"
Lin Fang said, "Lower its cost. I need to produce a large batch of cheap chips."
"Commander, it is already perfect enough," Isaac said, looking troubled.
"You can weaken its function. It only needs its own storage carrier and the ability to maintain basic limb control for the Clones. Keep vision and hearing; touch, smell, taste, and pain can be discarded, and at most, they should not exceed ten percent of normal levels."
Isaac breathed a sigh of relief, "This can be done, just give the scientists in the Base some time."
"I need you to produce at least 100,000 of these chips in the shortest possible time."
"Commander, task guaranteed to be completed!"
As they spoke, the two arrived at the Clone cultivation center, where the air was filled with a peculiar odor.
Inside, dozens of rows of transparent cultivation pods were arranged neatly, extending from the floor to the ceiling like giant test tubes. In each pod, a human body was suspended. They were naked, their skin appearing pale white. Light green nutrient solution submerged their mouths and noses. Dozens of thin tubes hung down from the top of the pods, one end connected to life-support equipment, and the other end pierced into their veins and spines, rhythmically delivering liquid.
"Commander, this is the life incubation pod for cultivating Clones. As long as embryos and nutrient solution are injected, in just two months, they can grow to the size of a six-year-old child, and they will reach adulthood after five months."
Isaac's tone carried a hint of pride, "Before you are the ten best-growing Clones; they underwent gene surgery during the embryonic stage."
"Commander, would you like me to pick one out for you to see?"
Lin Fang: ...
Venom, who had been taken out for some air, emerged from behind the young man, looked at Isaac, and said in a low voice, "Sounds like you really are a wicked villain."
"No need,"
Lin Fang thought for a moment and said, "Are there any other individuals that grow very fast and have combat capability?"
Clones take too long to cultivate and are not suitable for the initial development of players. Perhaps only after players build their own Clone cultivation centers will they have the option of being human.
Hearing Lin Fang's words, Isaac also fell into thought. Suddenly, Isaac's eyes lit up, and he said:
"Dogs, Commander, the creature known as a dog would be very suitable for your requirements."
"They have a short growth cycle, and the laboratory can also adjust their growth hormone ratios. If we disregard the consequences, we can cultivate an adult dog equivalent to twelve months in just two days."
Isaac continued:
"At this point, their bite force can reach one hundred kilograms, and their running speed exceeds 40 kilometers per hour, which is enough to handle most situations."
"Then let's start with 200,000 dogs, with a bit more variety in breeds."
Lin Fang also felt that what Isaac said was reasonable, "I have one more requirement. During their embryonic growth period, automatically implant a simplified version of the brain-control chip to directly replace their brains, without using the Moromi mutation worms."
Every little bit saved counts.
Venom looked at the young man beside him in disbelief, "Fang, doggies are so cute, you really are a wicked villain!"
"Commander, that is no problem," Isaac nodded in agreement.
Subsequently, Isaac took Lin Fang to visit some of the latest technologies inside the Hive Base, as well as the Symbiote that remained at the Base. According to Isaac, in a while, the Base would be able to produce the corresponding results.
"Commander, I can't believe twelve hours have passed so quickly. I look forward to your next arrival."
Isaac also understood the duration of the Commander's stay each time.
"Um..."
Lin Fang showed an embarrassed expression, "Give me another five vials of Gene Optimization Agent."
Isaac: ...
It would be best if he didn't come at all.

After returning to reality, Lin Fang also began preparing for another matter. The first batch of carriers was ready, and next was the equipment.
Currently, mainstream VR gaming equipment is mostly equipped with many sensors and cameras, achieving an immersive experience through motion capture and eye tracking.
But this was obviously not suitable for his purpose. Lin Fang's goal was to upload their consciousness to the brain-control chips of the Clones across a Schwarzschild Channel, allowing players to control these Clones far away on that strange Planet.
Therefore,
Lin Fang looked at the "Digital Life Technology" on the screen and smiled slightly. This technology from The Wandering Earth Dimension could obviously be put to use.
Digital Life Technology is a science fiction concept that digitizes human consciousness and uploads it to a computer system, thereby achieving a form of "immortality." Perhaps it is not even science fiction; at the end of the movie, Tu Hengyu and his daughter Yaya achieved it to a certain extent.
But Lin Fang didn't need to go that far; he just needed to be able to upload the players' consciousness, and that would be enough.
The human brain is densely packed with billions of neurons, which connect to form a complex neural network. When signals travel between these neurons, they are mainly transmitted in the form of electrical impulses. These impulse signals precisely map a human's actions and thoughts. If one could unlock the secrets of these impulse signals, it would be equivalent to understanding a person's consciousness.
And "Digital Life" proposed a very advanced brain-interface technology called immortality External Neural Electrode, abbreviated as IMM.
It could meet Lin Fang's requirements!
Unlike the invasive or semi-invasive electrodes that require surgical implantation in reality, IMM is more advanced than them and does not need to be implanted into the brain.
After all, players wouldn't want to have something inserted into their brains while playing a game.
At this moment, Xiao Hei raised a concern:
【Boss, what if the game device is suddenly taken off after the player's consciousness is uploaded to the Clone? This would cause serious damage to their brains, and they might even become vegetative.】
Lin Fang frowned. This was indeed a problem. If it were just a few cases, it could be suppressed, but if it continued to happen, the company would definitely be defined as a terrorist organization by major governments around the World.
He was the leader of a terrorist organization.
"We can do this: keep the player's consciousness saved in our device as well, continuously performing one-way replication with the Clone. Retain the device's sensors and cameras. As long as there is an action where the device is suddenly and accidentally taken off, the consciousness can return to their brains in a very short time."
"Although these players might feel a difference compared to the game after they wake up, this slight difference can be ignored."
【Boss, are you trying to build a game with one hundred percent immersion?】
"No, that would be too obvious. Nobody is a fool nowadays; it would be very easy for them to guess that this is a real World."
Lin Fang smiled, "It is enough for us to demonstrate that we have brain-interface technology that is ahead of reality."
Xiao Hei was puzzled:
【Then how do we do that?】
"That's where I need you, Xiao Hei. You need to build another 'house' inside the chip that carries the player's consciousness to deceive their consciousness. From their perspective, monster zombies will have health bars, interactive UI interfaces, and attribute values; it's just a game."
"Even if it's their family and friends, they can still attack them."
