Code of Wasteland Survival

What...what is going on?

Lucas was suddenly startled when he saw the motionless body suddenly twitching.

Damn it, I accidentally started their experiment... Did you see the empty space on the experimental table and the dozens of electrodes soaked in disinfectant? That was originally prepared for you.

Then what are we going to do now? Leave him alone... or get this guy up? Lucas said, glancing at the prisoner who was thrown to the ground and injected with sedatives.

Even if we want to get this guy up, we don't know where these electrodes will be inserted. Now we can only pray that these instruments will not suddenly explode or something...

Qi Lin glanced at the precision instruments surrounding the experimental platform with some concern. From the inside of these instruments, Qi Lin felt considerable energy fluctuations - if these instruments were detonated, the power would be calculated. It must have the equivalent of tens of kilograms of TNT. Although it doesn't look big, it is more than enough to blow up everything in this laboratory. Even if Qi Lin and Lucas were not killed by luck, Such a big movement was enough to attract many guards.

Do you want to unplug the power? Lucas asked.

I would like to do this...but can you find the power interface? Qi Lin sighed. The laboratory is different from other places. In order to facilitate cleaning and to prevent electric shock and leakage, the circuits of these equipment are It was a hidden route. If they wanted to find the power cord and power supply interface, they would have to pry open the entire laboratory floor...

How about we get out of here first? Lucas stared closely at the equipment in front of him. The noise coming from the inside of these equipment was getting louder and louder. It was obvious that it had reached a critical point that was about to exceed the safe load.

Since the terminal on one side of the instrument is not connected to anything, the precision parts inside are almost idling... As we all know, it is easy to burn through a pot without adding water. Idling in the wrong operating mode will also cause huge losses.

It's like an empty pot on the fire... Of course, it can also be described as a short-circuited battery pack with the positive and negative poles directly connected.

Damn it, such a sophisticated equipment, doesn't it have any safety measures? Lucas looked at the indicator lights on the instrument that kept flashing randomly. Facing the complicated operation interface, he had no idea where to start.

A short-circuited battery pack with the positive and negative poles directly connected...wait! An idea suddenly came to Qi Lin's mind - a complete closed circuit, no matter how simple its structure is, has two essential elements, that is, power supply and electrical appliances. If there is no such electrical appliance, then a complete closed circuit will be formed. Short circuit, if you want to cancel this short circuit state, just add an electrical appliance to the circuit!

Wait a minute, I might have a way...

Qi Lin said, placing his hands on the metal shell of the instrument, and at the same time, the energy-gathering vortex began to rotate at an accelerated speed. The two thought beacons drilled directly into the circuit of the instrument, exploring along the place with the highest energy load. past……

Ten seconds later, Qi Lin finally understood why this instrument was overloaded... To put it bluntly, the function of this instrument was to digitize the consciousness of Ayakui's clone and extract it from her brain carrier. , and then transferred to another carrier, that is, the brain of the prisoner who was used as an experimental subject. But now that the terminal carrier is missing, the extracted spiritual consciousness can only exist in the circuit of the device in the form of an electric current signal. , this kind of current signal can be said to be extremely heavy on the equipment. It may not be a problem to store it temporarily for a few seconds, but over time, it will definitely burn the circuit directly... or even explode. At that time, what safety measures will be taken? None of them work anymore.

found it……

Under the guidance of the thought beacon, Qi Lin easily captured the current signals transformed by the clone's spiritual consciousness, and found a way to extract them from the circuit of the device itself.

This process seems difficult to understand, but in fact Qi Lin regards himself as the terminal carrier, as the electrical appliance that consumes electric energy——

However, when those current signals were pulled out of the circuit, they instantly returned to the ethereal spiritual consciousness. Qi Lin felt as if his brain was filled with water, swelling and sinking... In fact, spiritual consciousness is also It can be regarded as a special kind of energy. Like Lingkui's way of using mental power, the most important one is to materialize mental power. This is to convert the energy in mental power into physical energy. Although Qi Lin's use method The limitations are greater than Ayakui's, but in terms of energy conversion, it is no less effective than the materialization of mental power.

Hiss...are these...the spiritual power belonging to that clone...

Qi Lin held his forehead with one hand and supported it on the experimental table with the other. He was speechless and found that although he could control this part of the ownerless mental power without self-awareness, he could not take it as his own. And the energy-gathering vortex, which is only interested in radiated energy, has no response to these mental powers.

His current situation is as if he has received a sum of money out of thin air. He can use this money at any time, but this money does not belong to him. He can neither deposit the money into his own bank account nor hold it. A long time, otherwise, the money will directly burst his wallet...

But in reality... his wallet is equivalent to his brain.

If this kind of mental power were more than ten times higher, Qi Lin had no doubt that his head would explode in an instant. Just the mental power of a clone would already make him almost unsteady on his feet.

This mental energy must be consumed immediately!

Qi Lin used his mental power to guide the outsiders and directly launched the invisible energy straight ahead like a cannonball - only a loud bang sound was heard, and the wall opposite the experimental platform A large hole more than two meters in diameter and one meter deep was directly blasted out of the metal wall, and even the steel bars poured into the concrete were exposed.

F*ck! Lucas was stunned by the sudden explosion. He had been focusing on the buzzing instruments and equipment, but who would have thought that the wall on one side of the laboratory suddenly exploded without warning. It exploded——

No, it wasn't entirely without warning. Lucas vaguely remembered that just before the explosion, Qi Lin seemed to have glanced at the wall...

Did you do this? Lucas looked at the big hole, then at Qi Lin, and asked in disbelief.

Yes. Qi Lin did not deny it. I can't control the spiritual power derived from the clones, so I consume them directly, otherwise my head will explode.

...This...is this caused by mental power? This destructive power...if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought you shot the wall with a Gauss gun, Lucas said.

This is nothing. In terms of the destructive power of mental power, there is someone who is much stronger than me.

Is it...'her'? Lucas pointed at Ayakui's clone on the experimental table.

Yes, if she is allowed to control that mental power, it will not just blow a big hole in the wall... Let's not talk about it for now. Such a big movement must have attracted the attention of other people. We We have to find a way to get out of here!”

As soon as Qi Lin finished speaking, the phone on the table suddenly rang. Qi Lin and Lucas looked at each other, hesitated for two seconds, and answered the phone.

Conrad, someone reported that there was a huge explosion in the laboratory. What happened? There was an old and hoarse voice on the other end of the phone. Although he didn't know who it was, Qi Lin was at least sure. It's definitely not that guy Xia.

Researcher Conrad was injured in the explosion. I am Matt. We are cleaning up the scene. Qi Lin said in a completely different tone. This Matt was shot to death by Qi Lin at the entrance of the laboratory. That guy, although he only spoke a few words, but with the ability of a fifth-level evolver, there is no problem in simulating his accent, especially with the phone as a cover, it would be difficult to distinguish.

Why did the explosion happen? Did the experiment fail?

It failed, but it can't be considered a complete failure. We made new discoveries.

Oh? What did you find?

When the mental power extracted from the clone cannot find a carrier for the time being, it will become very unstable and destructive. I think this can be used as a new weapon.

Researcher Matt, the third team of the idea you proposed reported to me yesterday. After our discussion, we found that the reliability of this application method is too low, and the energy conversion rate is not much higher than that of conventional weapons. The advantage, the most critical point, is that the cost is too high... I hope you can focus on business and complete the experimental tasks assigned to you as soon as possible. All we want is those sets of data. As for other things, Don’t worry about him for now.”

Okay... we will calculate those data as soon as possible. However, the newly delivered experimental body was damaged in the explosion. We have to send Researcher Knox to pick up another experimental body.

I understand. The command serial number has been sent to your team's mailbox. This time I will grant you an additional quota of three experimental subjects. I hope you will not let me down again.

The person on the other end of the phone hung up the phone after saying this, and Qi Lin let out a long breath.

Fortunately, no flaws were revealed. Although Qi Lin could imitate Matt's accent, if the other party asked about something professional, Qi Lin, who knew nothing about it, would immediately reveal the secret. Fortunately, the other party did not do this.

Moreover, the other party's tone seemed to be full of exhaustion, and he was just rushing forward. He didn't even ask about Conrad's injury.

An email icon suddenly flashed in the corner of the computer screen, and the sender's signature read Dr. Hoff.

It turns out that this old guy is Dr. Huofu. He is really the superior person in charge of this experimental team. No wonder the guard didn't become suspicious...

This time, Qi Lin was much more careful when operating the computer. He moved the cursor to the email icon and clicked the mouse after the prompt Do you want to open the email? appeared. The content of the email immediately appeared on the screen.

The content of the email was very simple. It only contained a serial number and three names representing the permission instructions. However, the detailed files of the three experimental subjects were attached to the email attachment.

Qi Lin just glanced at these files and closed them. These people were similar to Lucas. One of them was also a soldier who had committed a crime and came from the outer city army. The other two were sent from the asylum prison in Canada. These prisoners sent in from the outside were actually used as experimental subjects for them.

After turning off the email, Qi Lin subconsciously glanced at the big hole in the wall, and then turned his attention to the instrument that almost exploded.

It turns out that mental power can really be converted into the form of electrical signals... Doesn't that mean that the utopian plan is indeed feasible?

Although that is said, through this incident, Qi Lin also understood the biggest difficulty in the utopian plan, which is how to retain human self-awareness - although mental power and electric current signals can indeed be converted into each other, but After transformation, mental power is just pure mental power, just like energy tempered by a concentrated vortex, so pure without a trace of impurities... Of course, human self-awareness is naturally included in impurities within the definition.

For now, after going through this series of procedures, the only one who can still maintain complete self-awareness is Qin. It is precisely because of this that he has become the key point of the entire utopian plan.

If the main brain cannot solve this problem, then after stripping the consciousness of all human beings from their bodies, what is input into the carrier is pure mental energy. In this case, it naturally cannot be defined as The human race has continued with a new life form - those stored in circuit boards and capacitors are just simple current signals. No matter from what angle you look at it, this unconscious current signal is absolutely impossible. It's called life.

As for the underlying program based on the mastermind, it will never fully launch the utopian plan until this problem cannot be solved.

Qin is like a key. If Qi Lin cannot take him away, he must at least destroy him completely.
