Chapter 111

It has been transformed several times in the simulation. Not counting the R&D cost, the manufacturing cost alone is as high as more than 5 billion, which is more expensive than an operation fruit.

This is still due to the support of the World Government in the early stage. Vegapunk is half responsible for this device. The initial version was developed by him and Vegapunk together.

But later, the two had a disagreement, and Edie took it back to the hive and then transformed it several times.

"We have to prepare a resurrection laboratory!"

Next, Edie returned to the third underground floor and used the ability of the island fruit to transform the third floor.

Then he received the extra reward.

Its appearance is a bit like the medical MRI equipment in the hospital, but of course this world does not have it.

In a huge ring, there is a bed that can be pushed in and out.

Of course, it is much larger and more complicated.

...

In the next month, Edie was busy with the transformation and decoration of the resurrection laboratory.

Fortunately, the core equipment does not need to be manufactured by yourself, but it doesn't cost much to decorate the laboratory.

During this month, 66 and 77 are also working hard to practice the ability of the operation fruit. According to their own words, they can already perform immortality.

This operation is quite special, mainly relying on medical knowledge, and the ability itself is not difficult to master.

Edie did not let the two enter the resurrection laboratory immediately, but caught a pirate from the prison at random, and let him act as the first guinea pig.

The extraction, copying, and preservation of memories... everything is normal, and the equipment is running well.

After passing the preliminary inspection, it was the turn of 66 and 77, and their memories were successfully preserved.

From walking out of the No. 6 and No. 7 cloning warehouses to entering the resurrection laboratory today, the memories of more than four years have been stored in the database of the equipment without any difference.

Finally.

Finally, it was time for the immortality operation.

As a cautious person, Edie did not go first, but called Tianyue Shi.

Edie did not have much affection for this wife. If the operation failed, there was an irreversible result, or even died on the operating table, he would not be too sad.

But if the immortality operation is successful, the subject can obtain immortality, and this kind of thing cannot be given away for nothing by outsiders.

After thinking about it, Tianyue Shi is still the most suitable.

So

66 performed the immortality surgery on Tian Yueshi.

The surgery lasted for several hours, and Edie observed the whole process through monitoring.

When the surgery was over, Edie checked Tian Yueshi's various physical data as soon as possible, and then was shocked.

Tian Yueshi's body cells have undergone tremendous changes.

Completely different from ordinary cells, they have incredible vitality and vigor. Edie named them "immortal cells".

Not only that, Tian Yueshi's bloodline factor also mutated.

2.9

If the bloodline factor is likened to a towering tree, then the genetic gene fragment representing life span is just a fork on the tree.

And now, this branch is like an old tree sprouting, changing the new spring.

It can be named "immortality factor".

There is no energy to study these for the time being, and Edie immediately ordered 77 to perform the immortality surgery on himself.

A few hours later.

When the time came to 12 o'clock in the evening, the operation was over.

Edie opened his eyes on the operating table.

"Is this immortality?"

He sat up slowly and looked around.

In the white room, all the earthly branches were there. They were responsible for guarding Edie's safety and preventing any unexpected interruptions during the operation.

In addition to them, there were two bodies lying on the chairs beside them.

66 and 77.

They closed their eyes quietly and died forever.

Edie walked up to the two, touched their heads, and said softly:

"Thank you, don't worry, you will return to the world soon."

The seven earthly branches knelt down and saluted.

"Father, congratulations on your arrival at the other side of life!" Wei Yang said seriously: "How do you feel?"

"Very good..."

Edie had never felt so good before. He realized that the time on his body had frozen and it had stopped flowing.

Taking a deep breath, he turned and walked out of the room.

"Bury the body."

After a while, he came to the No. 1 cloning laboratory on the second floor of the basement, awakened the new 66 and 77, and took them to the resurrection laboratory.

The memory injection process was very long.

It was not until the morning sun shone on the land of Beehive Island that the two woke up from their coma.

They felt like they had a long dream, a dream that lasted more than four years.

With a smile on her face, Edie looked at the two identical 66 and 77, and spoke gently:

"Welcome back to the colorful world, compatriots.".

Chapter 96 Kaido's Dream: It's not in vain to raise you, Yamato!

When the new 66 and 77 woke up from their coma, they heard Edie's gentle voice.

"Father..."

66 blinked, her memory ended when she walked into the resurrection laboratory, and there was no subsequent surgical process.

77 was also confused, "Has the operation not started yet?"

"It's over, you did a good job and worked hard. Come with me."

Edie took the two out of the underground and came to the upper floor of the institute.

In the living room, the maids brought black tea.

After listening, 66 thought for a moment.

"So, am I dead? Lord Heavenly Father, I am the resurrected me now?"

"How does it feel?" Edie smiled.

"It's a bit unreal without the memory of death."

66 looked down at her left hand holding the black tea, and there was no wristband green blood device on her wrist.

This is the only difference.

Other than that, there is nothing abnormal.

If the Heavenly Father hadn't clearly told her that the operation was over, she wouldn't even know that she had died once.

77 tilted her head and asked in confusion:

"Lord Heavenly Father, am I still me after I died and resurrected?"

"This is a good question."

Vegapunk in the simulation also considered this, and this is where their disagreement lies.

Edie thought for a moment and used a story as an example:

"A group of pirates set out from the East China Sea and continued their adventure with the final island as their goal."

"But the Grand Line is very dangerous. During this process, their pirate ship will be damaged every once in a while."

"After each damage, the excellent shipwright on the ship will immediately replace the best planks."

"Even the keel, this shipwright can perfectly repair it."

"Just keep sailing, keep sailing, when it is about to reach the destination..."

"All the planks on the ship have been replaced."

"66, 77, do you think this ship is still the original ship?"

"Is the ship spirit that was born on this ship still the original ship spirit?"

Edie asked two questions.

This is one of the oldest thought experiments on earth, the Ship of Theseus, or the Theseus Paradox.

There is no answer to the question, it is a philosophical question.

It is related to what "I" is...

Faced with this 28 philosophical question, 66 and 77 thought seriously for a long time.

66 said, "Father, I think it is the same ship. Its appearance has not changed, and the adventures it has experienced have not disappeared."

77 shook his head, "No, I don't think it is the same ship, because all the planks have been replaced, and the new planks do not have the adventure scars that the old planks have. They are just exactly the same."

The two girls looked at each other and looked at Edie in unison.

"Father, who is right?"

Edie couldn't help but smile. The two little girls were clones of the same bloodline factor and experienced similar lives, but the conclusions they came to were completely opposite.

This is the difference between individuals. Such differences are accumulated little by little in daily life, and eventually lead the two to different personalities and thinking.

However, the replication of memory has even perfectly inherited this personality and thinking.

Are they the previous 66 and 77?

Edie smiled and said, "You are both right. There is no clear answer to the question itself."

Different from the example given.

Human cells are completely replaced every 7 years, so after 7 years, are you still you?

This is actually a misunderstanding.

Each cell in the human body has a different lifespan, and nerve cells even have almost the same lifespan as humans.

But even so, the new 66 and 77 in front of them have exactly the same bloodline factors as the original two.

The cells born from them are also of the same origin.

They are perfect replicas.

In addition to the almost identical memories, even the personality and thinking are exactly the same.

"Back to the original question, 77, what is our definition of a human individual?"

Edie took a sip of black tea and sighed: "You can think about this question in your future life. What has changed and what has not changed, you need to think more. The difference between humans and monkeys is that humans can think in a complex way."

"Yes, God's people." 77 nodded.

66 smiled and said, "It's great to be alive, thank you, God."

The two little girls looked at each other and thought of beautiful things.

"There is still a chance to see Dolly Doctor and Mr. Reindeer again!"

"You can continue to learn and improve your medical skills!"

Looking at the joyful expressions of the two little girls, Edie silently got up and left.

He also did not disrupt their beautiful vision of the future.
