To put it simply, Lin Yi no longer has a "left eye" as a limb. The subconscious concept of genes is that humans only have one eye, so naturally, an extra eye won't produce any reaction... It's like having a third hand transplanted into your abdomen; it won't give you an extra hand to control, it will only become a burden.
The reason why sacrificing the left eye is considered lucky is because the main god subsequently provided genomes that could be consumed as "forbidden zones".
The genes that make up the brain...
The gene that synthesizes blood...
The genes that control heartbeat...
……
It can be said that every time you open the "forbidden zone," you are gambling with your life, gambling on whether you consume something "insignificant" or "fatal." If it's something like vision represented by "eyes" or hearing represented by "ears," that's fine, but if it consumes the part that controls your heartbeat, then it's basically the end.
Imagine if the genes that make up your cells and your body suddenly decided that your heart didn't need to beat—what would you become?
Even if you're lucky enough to only consume "unimportant" genes each time, what will you become as the number of times the "forbidden zone" is opened increases?
Ultimately, it is still inevitable that the body will collapse and perish, which is why Lin Yi calls it a "forbidden zone"—a field that, once opened, is destined to perish. The best way to deal with it is to never open it, or even to never touch it. Unfortunately, Lin Yi has already touched it and been spied on, so the only option is to close it—forever.
However, in terms of the outcome, the aftereffects of the "forbidden zone" are far more than that.
After being truly infected with the "Forbidden Zone" virus, the Supreme God immediately issued a warning: one's genome was fixed the moment of infection with the "Forbidden Zone," meaning it could neither continue to evolve on the path of life and virus nor be degenerated, unless it was digested as fuel by the "Forbidden Zone." What does this mean?
After the battle in World Six, Lin Yi, who was trying to improve the "Forbidden Zone" again, quickly realized that it meant he had embarked on a dead end in life, not the end but a dead end—the kind where there was no turning back.
Even if Lin Yi, whose genes are fixed in the "forbidden zone," obtains the most perfect virus, he will not be able to change his form again. Similarly, even if he obtains the genes of a dragon, he will not be able to make any changes to his own genes.
It also means that everything Lin Yi had invested in the T-virus was in vain: the "answer" has already been given, so what's the point of modifying the "process"?
Even if we continue to delve deeper into the virus, it will only have an effect on those who have not been infected in the "forbidden zone," and is it possible for Lin Yi to do that?
The results are obvious...
"God, is this thing really as powerful as you described in your records?" (Yin②l[ing衫児磷=qi罒⑻`Y)
Putting aside those thoughts in his mind, Lin Yi once again turned his attention to the Rosa Mystica in his hand.
This gem was found by the main god through a fragment of information that the main god repaired after ending the events in World Six. It was found inside a broken world that Lin Yi identified as World Eight. It was also a world with low to medium activity. However, Lin Yi was not targeted by the world's will when he entered it. Perhaps it was because all life there had been extinct and there was no usable vessel.
In that shattered world, Lin Yi found the seven-colored gem, Our Lady of the Rose, in the ruins according to the records of the main god. According to the part of the records restored by the main god, this gem can give life and soul to cold machines, thus enabling Lin Yi, who had already entered a forbidden zone on the path of life, to step into another completely different realm.
Intelligent Conservation: Chapter 104 Blueprint
Test number 3095.
Because of the incomplete information, the main god only provided information about the location and function of this "Rose Mother". How to use it was almost blank, with only a few scattered steps provided. Following these steps, Lin Yi stayed in World Four, a parallel world without any danger, to test and monitor his body's various reactions after being infected in the "forbidden zone".
The first essential element in using "Our Lady of the Rose" is to create a "container".
"Function determines function. Firearms have their own shape, cars have their own shape, and every machine must have a corresponding shape to suit its assigned function. A single 'Rose Madonna' is just a rather special gem; it must have a 'container' to store it so that it can perform its function..."
Looking through the lessons learned from a month of failed attempts, Lin Yi was certain that he didn't understand this field at all.
This is only natural. If you asked him now to talk about the possible evolution of viruses and the potential evolution of life, he would probably be more knowledgeable than any "expert" in the world—the millions of samples from four countries have given him a vast amount of experience, but mechanical?
In Lin Yi's memory, the most tightly packed piece of machinery he had ever disassembled was probably a computer case. Even then, he was completely baffled by the circuit boards and had to put them back together. Moreover, the "container" he needed now was, in some ways, far more complex than the computer case. After all, a computer case contains data with a fixed format, while the "container" needed to contain a "soul" with endless possibilities.
In this regard, the Lord God offers a feasible suggestion.
Low-functionality substances
"for example?"
[Simple Form]
Then several outlines appeared before his eyes—Lin Yi admitted that it was indeed simple enough, after all, it was just some simple geometric shapes such as cubes, cylinders, spheres, etc. The most complex thing was a Rubik's Cube-like thing composed of multiple cubes.
"The question is, what would I do with a conscious Rubik's Cube?"
Lin Yike didn't think that food like "Our Lady of the Rose," which could give consciousness and a soul to inanimate matter, could be found so easily. If it was just used to create a Rubik's Cube that was completely useless, it would be better to just stuff it into a car. Maybe it could even create a Transformer as a means of transportation.
Shaking his head, Lin Yi rejected the God's suggestion: "Leaving aside the functionality, it should at least have some value for observation and experimentation. After all, subsequent improvements and manufacturing will need to be based on it. God, according to your database, you are most familiar with life right now?"
Naturally, a large number of virus samples appeared on the retina.
"A virus..." Lin Yi was somewhat tempted, but considering the complexity and size of the virus, he gave up: "What about the second one?"
A human body quickly appeared.
Lin Yi was startled for a moment, then suddenly realized.
Since the most familiar model is the virus, then humans, as the virus carriers and the objects of infection, naturally follow suit, and Lin Yi captured inspiration through these human models.
"How are humans...?"
Although both are mechanical substances, the human form can do far more than anything else. Just as firearms can only shoot and cars can only move, the human form may seem unable to do anything, but it can do everything. Considering the original "blueprint" is actually the most suitable choice.
The main god quickly responded to Lin Yi's choice.
[Feasible]
"Then let's build it, using my body as a model to create a mechanical body."
However, Lin Yi, who was well-prepared, received an unexpected answer.
Insufficient energy reserves.
Looking at the God's energy reserve indicator in surprise, he then remembered the massive consumption in World Six a month ago. Although the plundering by the reincarnators in the Kabane World, Giant World, and Ghoul World had continuously replenished his energy, preventing him from being unable to even transfer between worlds, it was still not enough to make any big moves... At least it was impossible to create a robot with the same physical strength as Lin Yi now, since that involved too many steps of material enhancement and metal purification.
Realizing this, Lin Yigang wanted to ask the main god to lower the manufacturing requirements, but changed his mind after seeing the instruments that had been used for testing next to the table.
"...It's just a blueprint; there's no point in investing too much in it."
ten minutes later.
Lin Yi carefully placed the Rosa Mystica inside and took a step back to observe the humanoid model's reaction—it was made of very simple plastic, which could be said to have exceeded the "poor" level and reached the "inferior" level, but the fact that it had a human shape was undeniable.
"God, begin establishing a consciousness network."
[Command confirmed, consciousness network in progress... 1%... 2%...]
As the surface of the human model gradually emitted a seven-colored glow, Lin Yi vaguely detected a vibration with a certain frequency, like—
"Bam—"
--explode.
At this moment, Lin Yi's physical defenses were clearly not something that the mere exploding plastic shell could break through. After tilting his head to avoid the half-arm of the mannequin, Lin Yi reached out and took the Rosa Mystica, which appeared slightly dimmer than before.
"God, what is the reason?"
The medium is not suitable for the consciousness network.
"What kind of adaptation is that Reimu (7) Mio b ten a dance passing away seven VII?"
A series of lists quickly appeared before his eyes, and Lin Yi twitched his lips as he looked at the ones at the very top.
Gold, diamonds, mithril...
Finding them wasn't difficult, but finding a quantity the size of a person was quite troublesome. At least until the main god's energy reserves were restored, Lin Yi wanted to avoid any overly aggressive conflicts with any world. However, collecting these resources using conventional methods was too slow... Just then, as Lin Yi scrolled down the list, he caught a glimpse of a certain word.
"porcelain?"
Based on the energy properties of Our Lady of the Rose, this substance possesses a moderate degree of adaptability.
"Others are hard to collect in a short time, so we'll use this one."
Intelligent Conservation: Chapter 105 The Doll
World No. 4, Narumi City, Japan.
three days later.
Following the plan provided by the main god, Lin Yi made the final touches on the doll model in his hands, while placing the one of the seven parts of the Rosary Mystique that was shimmering with silver light into the doll.
When Lin Yi decided to use porcelain dolls as a medium for creation, he initially planned to start with those that were "existing"—the Terracotta Army was undoubtedly the best choice. However, after searching online, he unexpectedly discovered that the Terracotta Army did not exist in this world, and the materials of the Terracotta Army in the Zero World seemed unsuitable according to the records of the Main God. Therefore, he could only collect the necessary materials himself and let the Main God consume a small amount of reserve energy to shape them—the simple construction of the shape did not require much energy, and he finally processed them by hand.
On the contrary, a month has already passed, so what's a few more days?
Along the way, the main deity offered a suggestion: the energy possessed by the entire Rosary might cause the medium to collapse, just like the previous plastic mannequin, since it only had a moderate level of adaptability. Therefore, it was suggested to divide it into seven equal parts before constructing the consciousness network, so that even if one failed, there would be other finished products.
Correspondingly, the size of the doll needs to be reduced, otherwise one-seventh of the Rosa Mystica alone would not be enough to support the movement of a doll the size of a normal human.
After considering it for a while, Lin Yi accepted the suggestion, and it ended up like this.
The next step is to place the Rosa Mystica inside to construct the consciousness network—that is, the birth of the "soul" and "consciousness," just like before.
"God, begin establishing a consciousness network."
[Command confirmed, consciousness network in progress... 5%... 10%...]
It is indeed much faster than using plastic to manufacture it.
As Lin Yi felt his fingertips gradually transform from cold and hard to warm and soft, like the texture of human skin, he seemed to understand something.
It was only because he possessed such incredible abilities that Lin Yi, who had reached a dead end regarding the virus, risked entering the strange world with coordinates provided by the main god to search for the Rose Mother. Otherwise, in his opinion, he should have waited until his energy reserves recovered before entering.
Based on the results we see now, this "Our Lady of the Rose" does indeed conform to the miraculous effects recorded by the main god. It can not only endow inanimate matter with a soul, but also distort the matter itself to a certain extent, making it move closer to a state similar to life...
"This shouldn't fall under the category of mechanics."
Feeling the temperature of his fingertips gradually approaching his body, Lin Yi suddenly asked the entity in his mind, "Is it life or magic?"
Insufficient information to analyze.
"...Never mind, it's just a medium anyway."
Turning his attention back to the present, Lin Yi silently awaited the birth of the "soul," but an unexpected event occurred at the last moment.
【90%……95%……98%……99%……99.1%……】
Seeing the sudden drop in speed at the last moment, Lin Yi suddenly had an ominous premonition: "What's wrong?"
The media generates strong subjective will and seriously interferes with the establishment of consciousness networks.
Looking at the number that had jumped to 99.9% and then remained almost still, Lin Yi let out a breath.
This feeling reminded him of when he was downloading data in Zero World and a "download failed" message suddenly popped up at the last 0.1% of the download.
"Abandon it and move on to manufacturing number two."
【Command confirmation】
After casually tossing the first piece aside, Lin Yi placed the second green fragment into the second doll.
This time, the process of establishing the consciousness network went much more smoothly. At least when Lin Yi saw with his own eyes that this lifeless doll had eyes and hair that only living beings possess, centered on the fragment of the Rosa Mystica placed inside, there were no unexpected events in between.
Perhaps due to the difference in the Rosa Mystica used, unlike the silver tone of the failed No. 1, No. 2 has a green shape and tone, at least its open eyes are green.
[100%... Consciousness network construction complete.]
"This is the finished product?"
Curiously examining the motionless doll, Lin Yi gently pinched its limbs with his fingertips—the sensation was like touching human skin, but much more delicate.
Can it communicate?
[The consciousness network is not yet stable; the medium can only passively receive external information and cannot take subjective action.]
Without needing the God's reply, Lin Yi already knew when he noticed that Number Two's eyes were staring blankly in the same direction the entire time: "How long will it take?"
[Determined by the media's sensitivity to external stimuli]
Unlike mindless machines, which can be judged and calculated based on data, a soul with subjective initiative has a hundred times more variables. It is almost impossible for the current God to calculate a specific result, so he can only give this vague answer.
Fortunately, Lin Yi had already made this preparation. After briefly confirming it once, he continued to construct the consciousness network for the remaining five puppets.
----------segmentation----------
What is the soul?
Lin Yi's current knowledge is far from sufficient to explore this issue. Including the Rose Mother, it can be said that everything is beyond his comprehension. However, Lin Yi believes that he can still understand a little about the concept of "consciousness" at this moment.
"The ability to generate thoughts and think is called 'consciousness.' In this respect, machines are no different from humans, because machines can also think. However, the thinking of machines is only about concrete things with definite direction, such as data and text. Machines do not possess, let alone understand, vague emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, which even humans cannot describe in detail. This is probably the biggest difference between life and machines."
"Based on this theory, if the 'Rosary Our Lady' you recorded can construct not 'consciousness' but 'soul,' then these experimental subjects should not only possess computational abilities, but should be able to generate their own emotions and ideas like humans."
Placing the sixth doll on the table, Lin Yi glanced at the failed product, the five completed products, and the last unfinished product that hadn't even started yet: "I'm quite looking forward to your 'possibilities'."
