Star Sea: Explorer's Notes

Chapter 50 Eve
As soon as they stepped into the gate of the research institute, the two were immediately attracted by the various showcases on both sides of the passage.

Looking around, this is a promenade about [-] meters long. The space in front of it looks like some kind of temple in the mythology period. The inner courtyard is supported by hundreds of tall stone pillars. Among the ancient ruins.

"This research institute is called 'Pasai Boris', and it was built in imitation of the palace of the Persian king Darius during the mother star period."

Lano continued to introduce, "The end of this passage is the studio of our researcher. You can treat the outside as exhibits in a museum."

Frege nodded. It is not an exaggeration to call this a museum. With his current eyesight, he can barely see the labels pasted on the display cabinets fifteen rows away.

He frowned and read out the name on the label, "Sasir... king's scepter?"

"The history of our star sea development is actually a history of war..." Lano sighed, "Sasir is the aborigine of Kraze, and according to the current classification, they are also a kind of beastman. , but became extinct thousands of years ago."

"Most of the collections here are the relics of the aborigines of Kelaze." He pointed to a nearby luxurious robe that was not particularly damaged. "This is the traditional costume of the Merika tribe, and they have also become extinct .”

"You're right about one thing. We shouldn't pretend to be creators. The tragedy of alien species is irreversible. If mechanical life in the true sense can be born in the future, then our human attitude towards them must be re-examined."

He changed his tone and said, "The birth of mechanical life is not only a matter for the scientific community, but also a major challenge to ethics."

"I must admit that I did have the idea you mentioned at the beginning. I wanted to increase people's enthusiasm for research in the field of mechanical life through a verification method that lowers the threshold, so that I can get more financial support."

As he spoke, he led the two of them to visit in the corridor.

"But as you said, this kind of behavior is nothing more than accelerating death. The worst result is that the whole industry will go to nothingness as you said, and the level of morality and ethics will naturally be out of the question."

Looking at the research center in the distance, his eyes gradually changed from confusion at the beginning to determination.

"I have devoted my whole life to the research of mechanical life. If they do not get their due status in the end, I am willing to give up all my achievements and efforts, and do my best to hinder their birth!"

"Since you have made up your mind, those difficulties will surely be resolved," Frege comforted. After hearing these words, he couldn't help feeling a little more fond of the elderly dean, "Speaking of dean , why are you obsessed with mechanical life?"

"Ugh……"

Lano sighed again, "It's a long story, let's go in first."

The three walked through the long exhibition hall together. After Rano verified his identity, the metal door of the inner hall slowly opened.

There were only a sporadic five or six middle-aged researchers who were busy, and they just greeted Lano casually when they saw Lano.

"My partners have the same personality as me," Lano smiled slightly. "As you can see, there are not many young people in the current research institute."

Frege thought to himself that he knew the reason for the problem.

Although researchers and scholars sound lofty, in fact they can almost be regarded as tiankengs among many professions.

There is neither the high income of Xinghai trade and virtual network development industry, nor the stability like the Federal Law Commission or the Medical Association. The academic requirements of the researchers are also ranked in the top 5, but the treatment is completely at the bottom.

He didn't need to ask to know that the middle-aged researchers he saw just now must be frequent visitors of the Hair Transplant Clinic.

"Based on Dean Lano's popularity, he should be able to recruit many willing students, right?" Frege pouted at his starry-eyed sister, "There is one here."

"It's not that I don't want to accept it," Lano shook his head. "Student Fleur is of course fine. In fact, I originally planned to invite her in another two years."

"For research, interest comes first. Many people meet this requirement, but most of them are unwilling to accept the treatment of researchers."

"If you want to improve the salary, you have to produce the results first, but the results need funds..." His face is full of loneliness, "There are very few who can afford this part of the funds by themselves."

"There are some children from wealthy families who like to squeeze into places like ours. Apart from interest and ability, I can't rest assured about their purpose."

Frege nodded in empathy. He couldn't imagine that if someone like Rolando Gomez was allowed to enter the research institute, and then let his family help to produce some decent results...

If everyone followed suit, the entire scientific community would probably be devastated.

He is very fortunate to have a researcher like Lano Trezeguet who sticks to the bottom line standing on the front line, so that the technological road of their improved species can see the light.

"Stop talking about that."

After Lano recognized the iris to verify their identity, the three entered a glass house again.

They are surrounded by various separate small compartments, each surrounded by four huge pieces of glass, and the things stored in them can be seen very clearly from the outside.

"This is what I want you to see," he pointed to the female mechanical doll in a glass box in front of him covered with only a few pieces of cloth. "She is the closest thing we have to mechanical life."

"Her name is 'Eve'."

"Eve?"

"It's also my daughter's name," Lano said with a flash of memory in his eyes. "My daughter died 15 years ago in an accident in the lab,"

"The reason why I decided to study mechanical life was to find a spiritual sustenance..." he sighed, "but then I quickly realized that even if I could make her exactly the same, my daughter would not be able to truly return."

Frege nodded. If things are really as he said, then Dean Lano does have the qualifications to master this technology.

Mechanical life is different from ordinary mechanical research. The core of this technology points to "creation" in the true sense, that is, to allow human beings to have the ability to rival the creator.

The role of this technology in promoting social development is undoubtedly huge, but if it falls into the hands of some ambitious people, the consequences will be unimaginable.

He was lowering his head and thinking, but for some reason, looking at the mechanical puppet lying flat on the operating table in front of him, he felt an inexplicable familiar feeling in his heart.

The dark metal sculpted body seemed to be covered with a layer of fluorescent light, and the facial features and every joint of the body were quite delicately made.

But even if she is now wrapped in a layer of high-simulation human skin, Frege has no way to connect him with anyone in memory.

Eve?

He scratched his hair in distress. According to Lano, his daughter had passed away 15 years ago. At that time, he had never left the nursery at all, and there was almost no intersection between the two.

Who the hell is...
