Chapter 1107 - 213: You Reap What You Sow

Chapter 1107: Chapter 213: You Reap What You Sow

One day later—

"Why the long face? In a bad mood? That’s awkward, I happen to be in a great mood."

Outside the Biological Laboratory, Gao Gong blocked Dr. Yuu, who was either holed up in the lab or in the middle of some Biological Experiment, and asked with a squinting smile.

"You really arranged a fine watchdog!"

The always expressionless Dr. Yuu, who never put on a pleasant face for any living species, actually spoke through gritted teeth for once.

"Watchdog? Who?"

"Old Walter!"

"Oh, you mean that old dog. Yeah, he does have rich guard-dog Experience. What, your Biological Experiment funding request got rejected again?"

Ever since Gao Gong handed the alliance’s financial authority over to Old Walter, this Clone Leader immediately showed his decisive side—not only punishing several old-timers who broke alliance rules, but also strictly controlling all project funding. In his words—

’Even if the Legion isn’t short on money right now, pruning the branches of the Technology Tree and focusing on cracking key projects is an important part of developing Alliance Technology.’

And as the person directly involved, Dr. Yuu could be said to be suffering miserably.

Put it this way: every single one of the experiment projects she’d applied for in the past few months had been sent back.

Aside from the two key biological projects arranged by Gao Gong, Dr. Yuu basically couldn’t conduct any other research.

"You should rein him in a bit. I don’t think he’s a good person."

Dr. Yuu, rare for her, actually started tattling. Unfortunately, she just wasn’t the pillow?talk type; everything she said sounded completely non-aggressive.

"But according to Old Walter’s report to me, ever since we entered the interstellar stage, you’ve applied for a total of 321 Biological Experiment projects: two hundred failed due to technical shortcomings, a hundred were terminated due to zero progress, 5 research directions went off track, 3 led to large-scale Biological Viruses, and twice you almost poisoned yourself to death..."

Gao Gong recited while watching her with great interest.

Looked at this way, the fact that this lady hadn’t died in a lab really was a miracle.

"Scientific research is inherently mostly failures with few successes. If you don’t try multiple directions, how are you supposed to develop the most cutting-edge technology?"

The problem is, sis, you don’t have the Technology Tree of a Level 3 Biological Civilization.

Gao Gong grumbled inwardly.

Civilization Knowledge and the Professional Knowledge Chain are the soil of the Technology Tree.

Without them, you can’t grow a technological big tree.

Even on Mechanical Split Star’s Cyber Test Field, its roots are still the Technology Trees of the Transformer Civilization, the Brain Domain Civilization, and the Artificial Data Space.

And right now, Gao Gong really didn’t have the Technology Tree of a Level 3 Carbon-based Civilization in hand.

Gao Gong switched topics and said, "You’ve failed so many times—have you ever considered upgrading yourself a bit? Like, say, installing a ’Biological Computer’ in yourself."

Dr. Yuu showed a hesitant expression:

"I do have the idea of conducting Biological Experiments on myself, but as for what to transform into, I have my own considerations."

"Suit yourself. Take me to see your latest experiment results. I have to say, Old Walter really does have foresight—he chopped so many of your projects, and didn’t you just manage to pull these two off?"

Dr. Yuu was left speechless.

The two soon arrived at the entrance of the most highly classified laboratory.

A large number of detection devices swept over the two of them—many were Tier 3 items bought off the Black Market. Under all kinds of probing lasers, Gao Gong’s skin gradually became transparent, and a large number of Mechanical Modules auto?revealed from beneath his Bionic Man epidermis.

Although Gao Gong’s Bionic Parts were top-of-the-line, there was still a Tier gap. Under the effect of Tier 3 detection machines, Gao Gong’s Mechanical Body was revealed.

Dr. Yuu glanced at Gao Gong and said:

"I once considered transforming into a Mechanical Lifeform, but I’m worried it would interfere with my personality."

"Then just transform into a Biological Computer."

"If I did that, there’d be even more interference when I’m doing Biological Experiments."

Gao Gong shrugged. Ordinary Biological Experiments naturally wouldn’t be affected, but sis, what you’re doing are all dangerous experiments beyond your own Tier; interference is practically inevitable.

In fact, the stronger the performance of the Biological Computer, the greater the interference.

This is probably one of the few downsides of a Biological Computer.

The two of them walked into the Nest Repairer.

In this kind of Tier 3 Architecture, they unexpectedly saw Gao Gong’s Organism.

Of course, Gao Gong wasn’t surprised. He had simply muted all sensory input from his Organism because he was afraid of pain.

He was very glad he’d done so.

Because right now, his Organism was plugged with all kinds of biological pipelines, large and small, each as thick as a pinky finger. Little Gao Gong’s body, in particular, had an absurd number plugged in.

The sight made Gao’s eye muscles twitch.

Hunting geese all day, only to be pecked by a goose in the end—turns out the ancients weren’t lying.

Dr. Yuu glanced at him and, for once, explained:

"Through our experiments, we found that the reproductive cells of Carbon-Based Creatures are the most suitable for cultivating ’biological hardware,’ so we focused our development there."

"I don’t really mind, but when Director Du comes back, I’m not sure if she’ll mind."

"..."

Dr. Yuu immediately deflated a little.

"How about this—once the experiment’s done, I’ll give you a makeover?"

"Thanks, but no thanks."

Gao Gong looked up and noticed that the direction of those biological pipelines all converged on a series of small Nests.

These corresponded to the function of ’Super Biological Mode 3.’

Super Biological Mode 3: Biological Cultivation—incubate new Organisms inside the Nest; efficiency +1000%, success rate +300%.

Inside these ’mini Nests,’ various ’Biological Plugins’ of Gao Gong were being cultivated.

These ’plugins’ were neither organs nor bones nor flesh and skin—they were all bizarrely shaped.

That’s from the perspective of ’biological appearance.’

But from the perspective of a Biological Computer, they were Graphics Cards, CPUs, and motherboards.

That’s right, all this biological hardware had been cloned from Gao Gong.

Assembling them together would form a high-performance, version 7.0 Biological Computer.

With two full sets, they could just upgrade Little Woman and Ye the Big Lolita.

Of course, Dr. Yuu had considered other, more efficient approaches.

For example, implanting an artificial placenta into Gao Gong’s Organism, then after a nine-month pregnancy, directly giving birth to a complete ’pre-built machine.’

But this idea was decisively vetoed by the two girls. They had no interest in gaining a computer father with blood ties.

Later, Dr. Yuu thought about modifying Gao’s Reproductive System from viviparous to oviparous. That way, Gao could be like a certain Demon King Piccolo, popping out ’host eggs’ one at a time.

This idea was firmly rejected by Gao Gong. One Kun’s Child in this world was more than enough; there was no need for a second.

In the end, after weighing all kinds of proposals, they decided on the current method—cloning and cultivating individual plugins.

In this process, the Walter Clan’s Cloning Technology helped quite a bit, providing a lot of mature solutions.

This was another area where a Carbon-Based Civilization had an edge over a Mechanical Civilization.

All sorts of high-performance hardware no longer needed complex mechanical manufacturing; they could just be born.

For example, plant a 3060 Graphics Card and you’ll grow a 3060 Graphics Card.

Raise a 4070 Graphics Card and it’ll give birth to a 4070 Graphics Card.

Of course, only a powerful Organism could truly achieve ’you reap what you sow.’

For ordinary biological hardware cloning, if the original was a 4070 and you managed to get a 3060, that was already pretty good.
