Chapter 230 Deep Virtual Reality 57
The two talked until the very end, but Xie Ning found out the next day because Jiang Teng came to collect the experimental subject and would inevitably mention the reason to Xie Ning.
The young man, whose body, including his heart, had been modified into a mechanical form, stood quietly inside the cabin, silently watching Xie Ning and Jiang Teng.
"You mean a real-world test?" Xie Ning's hand paused.
“Yes.” Jiang Teng’s expression wasn’t good either, but it was a requirement from above, and they couldn’t disobey it. “They said that a knife needs to be sharpened to become sharper.”
Real-world testing and combat strength testing are not the same. Combat strength testing simply involves having the test subject attack to test its punching power, movement speed, and so on. Real-world testing, on the other hand, is a real, hard-fought battle. If you're not careful, the test subject, who has finally succeeded in the experiment and struggled to survive, will die.
It's only been a short time, and some of the experimental subjects still need fusion agents. Putting them into actual combat is like pulling up seedlings to help them grow.
"There's nothing we can do. This was Professor Lillian's suggestion. Her project has made progress, embedding a chip control system, and has also undergone basic and combat testing. Real-world testing is inevitable, so she's set her sights on us."
Jiang Teng glanced at the quiet test subject and sighed softly. Their test subject was still very weak. If they were put into actual combat like this, wouldn't that be like sending food to their doorstep?
"What did Director Crete and Dr. Ji say?"
"Director Crete wanted to refuse, but it was no use. Dr. Ji bought us half a month, and we need to maximize their combat capabilities within that time, otherwise..."
Jiang Teng didn't finish speaking, but Xie Ning already knew the consequences.
This time, Jiang Teng led the experimental subjects not only to conduct combat capability tests, but also to make some modifications, gradually increasing the experimental subjects' damage on the original basis, which is actually to increase the mechanical aspects of the androids.
The blood on the lab table never completely dried up. Dr. Ji was away on a business trip, so it was Jiang Teng who did it, and Xie Ning was still just his assistant.
Lying on the lab table, 017 was expressionless, his dark green eyes cold and numb. Even with anesthetic, it was impossible for him to feel no pain at all; he was simply used to it.
By the end, Jiang Teng was so exhausted that he collapsed to the side, closing his sore eyes and praising Dr. Ji's stamina. Xie Ning, on the other hand, picked up the medical tools next to him to treat the young man's wounds and take care of the aftermath.
Although she knew the test subject had been given anesthesia and wouldn't feel much pain, Xie Ning still moved gently, handling the situation meticulously and quickly.
Next, the test subject was pushed into the healing chamber, where medicine to restore injuries had already been placed. In less than an hour, the wounds on the test subject's body would be completely healed. This was a treatment they only received after each major modification.
"Xiao Ning, could you go to section 13 of area P and get the new experimental subjects?" Director Crete called out from the observation platform above.
Chu Qing was sent away to attend to other matters, and the data here also required human intervention; he still needed his assistant. Seeing that Xie Ning's matter was settled, he passed the task to Xie Ning.
Since it was a collaboration anyway, it didn't matter whose assistant it was, and Director Crete felt perfectly justified in ordering other people's assistants around.
Xie Ning, who had been standing all day and was just about to sit down and rub her back: ......
"Alright, Director Crete, please grant me the necessary permissions." Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to get through.
She was heading to the android production area. Xie Ning immediately thought of the large laboratory she had seen in the glass corridor before, wondering if it was that place.
Although she was unfamiliar with the place she was going to, with Kono leading the way, Xie Ning was not at all at risk of getting lost. However, the laboratory here was obviously more lively than theirs, with researchers coming and going everywhere.
The person who greeted Xie Ning was a short-haired female researcher. She told Xie Ning, "You've come at an inopportune time. 079 has just suddenly awakened his superpower, so you'll have to find another test subject."
"I'll contact Director Crete."
"OK."
Crete replied quickly, instructing Shening to have them send him the data on the experimental subjects for selection.
The female researcher nodded, gesturing for Xie Ning to follow behind her.
Passing by a capsule, the android inside, submerged in water, opened its eyes and looked out curiously. Then, it suddenly tore its own arm apart, silver blood mixing with the water, but it seemed oblivious to the pain and grinned.
Xie Ning paused, and the female researcher in front of her noticed as well. She quickly called for the nearest person to control the android that was mimicking her.
imitate?
Xie Ning followed the android's gaze and saw a hairless android lying quietly on the central experimental table. A sharp knife instantly sliced through its skin, while researchers laughed in the distance.
He was learning, imitating. His arm was cut, and it hurt, but the expression of pain was a wide grin.
Xie Ning pursed his lips and silently watched the android being transported away. Then he turned to look at Xie Ning, his expressionless face slowly mimicking Xie Ning's expression, his brows furrowing slightly and his lips pressed tightly together, only he exaggerated it more, making it look strange.
"Clerk Xie?"
Um?
"Let's go, someone's going to get yelled at here. Let's go to the lab inside and find some peace and quiet."
Xie Ning snapped out of her daze and continued walking inside. She found it strange that the androids she had worked with were almost indistinguishable from humans in terms of flesh and blood, so why was this one different?
Therefore, he pretended to be ignorant and raised a question.
While scanning her ID card, the female researcher explained to Xie Ning, "Because they are the latest models being researched, the gene editing lab has made new progress. These Type III androids were created based on this. Hmm, perhaps you will be able to get the latest models of androids in the future."
