Chapter 149: The Preliminary Awakening Of An Experimental Intelligence!
When Patrick said this, it had almost exposed Camilla’s intentions.
Had she roped him in here to solve a difficult problem?
But on second thought, if he hadn’t encountered a roadblock himself, he probably wouldn’t be able to come into contact with this neural brain technology!
If he found it difficult… This might be an opportunity to take refer to his own research!
Instead, it would save him time.
However, Raymond could use this to his advantage.
Raymond said in a very displeased tone, “Director Camilla, if that’s the case, then I’ll pass on this visit!”
He turned to Archibald and said, “Hey, what is your research institute researching… introduce it to me!”
“No, no, no!”
Camilla immediately realized that something was wrong.
If Raymond left, it wouldn’t be so easy to pull him back.
“Ray, look here! It’s just a small problem, not a big bottleneck. You’ll see it clearly. Besides, our institute has not only done thorough research on the neural network but also on various biological energy weapons.”
Camilla winked at Archibald. “Don’t you think so, Archibald?”
Archibald hesitated.
Although his Fifth Research Institute wasn’t that advanced, Raymond was too important an asset!
As long as I provided him with something, he might be able to come up with it on his own.
Just as Archibald was hesitating, Camilla quickly pressed on, “We’ve already started communicating with the prototype of our reverse-engineered product…”
“Oh… Now that you mention it, I’m interested!”
Raymond’s eyes instantly lit up.
The intelligence in the brain of an alien creature.
Even a three-year-old could imagine the importance of such a thing.
Even if Archibald broke Camilla’s momentum just then, the damage had already been done.
He never expected Camilla to pull out all her cards.
More importantly, even he had not been aware of this.
He had been running through his inventory in his mind
She had been one step ahead of him.
Does she think so highly of Raymond?
Does Camilla think so highly of Raymond?
No, she actually thought the same as Patrick before.
Raymond was intelligent, and he was superhuman!
But so what? He always needed to refer to books and texts.
He needed to stand atop the writings of true geniuses.
But her hand had been forced.
The reason was very simple. Archibald had pushed her.
He had been trying his best to lead Raymond toward himself.
Still, Raymond was already interested, so he would definitely go.
That woman had tossed her trump card out, so what?
Was there any difference between showing it and not showing it?
Wouldn’t I have the last laugh still?
The group chatted on the way. After getting off the elevator, Camilla updated Raymond with the Second Research Institute’s current findings.
Raymond did not care about some things, but others definitely got his attention.
However, Raymond didn’t show it.
If his expression could be read, Camilla would most definitely capitalize on it and wrap her finger around his soul.
The current Raymond shared a similar mindset as those old scientists.
He especially wanted to study things that interested him.
However, Raymond’s goal was very clear.
Time waited for no man.
“This is it. The Neurobrain department!”
Patrick spoke up. “Thunder God, ah no, Raymond, you’d better put on a protective suit!”
“Okay!”
Raymond agreed.
After all, this was someone else’s territory. It was still necessary to abide by the rules.
However, this was Raymond’s first time wearing a protective suit, so it was inevitable that it was a little inconvenient.
With the help of Camilla and Patrick, he successfully put it on.
Although there were many people, only a few people could enter the laboratory.
Even Nelson couldn’t go in, despite being in charge of the energy weapon.
However, they could watch from outside the observation room.
There were still some people in the laboratory studying.
Some people were looking at their computers.
Some people were looking at the microscope.
Some of them were checking the data.
The researchers didn’t pay attention to the entrance of Raymond and his group.
Moreover, Raymond was wearing a protective suit, so he wouldn’t be spotted easily.
“Here are the results of our previous research!”
Patrick pulled up the data on a computer.
Raymond didn’t say anything and just sat down.
There were many things in the information, but most of them were useless data.
If he were to filter out anything useful from it, it would definitely take him a few years.
“I’ll just ask for it straight, where is this intelligence that you speak of?”
When Raymond said this, Archibald and the others revealed equally curious expressions.
Patrick looked at Camilla, and when he got the boss’s permission, Patrick was relieved.
On the far left of the lab, there was a row of freezers.
These freezers, which were kept at a constant temperature, looked expensive from the outside.
Patrick walked over and opened one of the freezers.
Inside the freezers were tiny electrical wires.
What they were attached to was completely obscured.
But it could be roughly guessed that it was a fist-sized ball.
“Is that an actual brain?”
Raymond asked.
“Yes, the core of it is a neural brain.”
As Patrick spoke about his area of expertise, he seemed to be a different person. He looked very wise and calm.
“The intelligence inside talks to you?”
“Yes, once the temperature reaches 16 degrees Celsius, the neural brain will be activated. However, every time this thing is activated, it will consume a large amount of nutrient solution. This thing is a real guzzler!”
“And without nutrients, this thing will die?!”
“Yes!”
“Can you communicate with him?”
“I’m sorry, the nutrient solution from before has been used up. The next batch is still on the way!” Patrick immediately replied.
“What a pity!”
Raymond helplessly spread his hands. “Right, you said that you encountered a bottleneck. What was the problem about?”
“This… are you sure you want to know?”
“I’m quite curious!”
“The thing is, we extracted its cells from the neural brain and successfully cloned it through many experiments!” Patrick was a little excited when he said this, then he continued, “But for some reason, the cloned nerve cells began to collapse after 10 hours. It seems that they began to collapse on a DNA level!”
