Chapter 1242 Why go through all this trouble and beat around the bush?
Heavenly Dao System AI: "Yes."
Ye Ge's eyes lit up: "What's the plan? Let me see."
The large screen in front of me immediately switched to a different image.
That was a scene from a secret research lab.
The cold metal walls reflected the stark white shadowless light, creating a sterile and solemn atmosphere.
Several researchers in white lab coats and AI-simulated research robots with precise movements are working in an orderly manner indoors.
At the center of the experimental base stands a colossal structure.
It was a gigantic cylindrical incubation tank, over ten meters tall. Inside, it was filled with a viscous, scarlet nutrient solution that churned and bubbled continuously. Within this blinding crimson, an indescribable, colossal life form floated, its form still in the chaotic early stages of development. Only a vaguely discernible, curled-up outline could be seen, yet its size far surpassed that of any known supernatural being, inspiring awe and fear.
Ye Ge's heart skipped a beat.
What the hell is this thing?!
"What is this?" Ye Ge asked.
The Heavenly Dao System AI: "This is an embryo that the chairman cultivated using artificial cloning technology by utilizing all the genes of the descendants containing ancient bloodlines that he collected."
Night Song thought to himself, "Good heavens... this thing is actually an embryo?!"
If even the embryo is this huge, what an enormous monster it will be when it truly grows out!
'So Sima Qing collected so much genetic data on the descendants of ancient races just to cultivate this thing...'
"You just said cloning?"
Ye Ge suddenly caught the key words, looked at the big screen, and asked, "Is this a clone of some ancient ferocious beast?"
“The cloned creature is not a ferocious beast.” The Heavenly Dao System AI emitted a steady hum, “It is one of the three primordial divine beasts—the Primordial Qilin.”
Night Song: "?? Holy crap???"
Cloning the Primordial Qilin? ??
Sima Qing really dares to think big...
The Heavenly Dao System AI: "Theoretically speaking, as long as we collect all the gene samples of the ancient races that are related to the First Qilin by blood, with the company's current level of technology, we can simulate and synthesize the cells of the First Qilin, and then achieve cloning and cultivation."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ge asked, "So, this secret research project really does have a chance of success?"
The AI of the Heavenly Dao System: "Yes, it seems that this research project is progressing very smoothly so far."
"Um......"
Ye Ge carefully examined the large screen again, and suddenly paused, because he suddenly spotted a familiar figure.
Willow Warbler of the Succubus Clan?
She's in this lab too?
Judging from the footage, it appears that Liu Ying is channeling her magical energy into some kind of device.
Her face looked a little pale, as if she was exhausted.
"Why is Liu Ying in here too?" Ye Ge was surprised to find that Liu Ying from the board of directors was also a participant in this research project.
Empress Liu Ying of the Succubus Clan, although she is also a member of the board of directors, does not wield much power and does not hold many shares in the company. She does not seem to be as highly valued by Sima Qing as Karl is.
The Heavenly Dao System AI: "She is attempting to carry out the modification work of demonizing the embryo."
Night Song asked in confusion: "To demonize the embryo?"
The Heavenly Dao System AI: "The Primordial Qilin is, after all, one of the three primordial divine beasts, possessing the Heavenly Dao power that is of the same origin as the Creator God. The Chairman is worried that after it matures, his own power will not be able to fully control it, so he decided to try to demonize and transform it in the embryonic stage."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ge burst out laughing: "To even come up with such an idea, Sima Qing is truly outrageous..."
Heavenly Dao System AI: "Do you have any other questions?"
"That's all, that's all." Ye Ge waved his hand. "Thank you for helping me answer two questions."
The Heavenly Dao System AI: "You're welcome."
"Thank you so much for answering my question." Ye Ge stood up slowly, satisfied. "So why bother with all this beating around the bush? Why didn't you just tell me directly?"
Heavenly Dao System AI: "..."
"As expected, even with the technological level of this world, AI still retains a little bit of hidden stupidity..." Ye Ge shook his head and muttered to himself, "In my past life, science fiction movies always fantasized about AI developing intelligence and killing humanity. It was all just wishful thinking..."
Heavenly Dao System AI: "..."
......
Ye Family.
Mechanical room.
"Zzzzzzz...zzzzzzzzzz—"
The welding torch emitted a regular arcing sound, and blue light flickered intermittently in the dimly lit workshop.
Gao Shenxue's cool and captivating face was illuminated by the welding arc light, flickering between light and shadow.
Her calm, deep black eyes were focused on the complex structure being assembled before her.
A moment later, the girl put down the welding gun and wrench.
She picked up a meticulously crafted mechanical mask and slowly placed it on the face of a tall, humanoid creation in front of her.
As the dark blue magic patterns on the mask lit up one by one, flowing as if infused with life, a powerful yet restrained aura of soul power surged within the entire humanoid creation.
Gao Shenxue: "Finally, it's finished..."
Xia Xiyao sat obediently beside Xue'er in a standard loli sitting posture, keeping her company. Seeing that Xue'er seemed to have finally finished her work, she looked at the mechanical doll with great curiosity.
She tilted her head and asked, "Hmm... Xue'er, what is this? A battle puppet?"
Gao Shenxue paused for a moment, then said softly, "It's probably something that Xiaoye would be very happy to see."
