Chapter 572 - Unexpected Wealth (2/2)
Qin Fen didn’t even need to tell Lin Liqiang about it, he could already guess how that talented young scientist would answer.
“If you are looking for Lin Liqiang and Enzo Rota to be the host of the separation, not only will they disagree, but I also will not help you.” Qin Fen shook his head and refused. Not only was this technique terribly dangerous, who knew if Lin Liqiang, after having gone through the so-called Integration of Brains, would still be able to stay who he is?
“I know what you are worried about. The merged Lin Liqiang will still be Lin Liqiang, it will not change his personality one bit. It’s just giving him pure knowledge, as well as different thought processes when encountering various technological obstacles. There is no harm.”
Qin Fen kept his mouth shut. The human brain in front of him was much larger than an ordinary human brain. Although Enzo Rota was usually a man of few words, he would probably also open up his mouth to give a one-word cuss if he were to become like someone with megalencephaly.
“Technology was not mature at that time, which is why the brain became so big…” The brain’s voice was a little awkward. It was as if that despite just having the appearance of a brain, it was still somewhat embarrassed by its megalencephaly appearance, “Technology today is much more advanced than before.”
Qin Fen was still silent. A field of scientists saying that technology had matured in a field that was strange to them was not like an ordinary product where quality could be guaranteed. In all likelihood, there would be no after-sales service.
“Are you worried about problems with mental power?” The brain’s tone was somewhat rushed, “Indeed, we can’t guarantee this. It’s just like paleo martial arts and neo martial arts. Some people are suitable for practicing martial arts, some just don’t have the talent. The same goes for mental power. Not anyone can have a strong mental power. It’s just that these two have higher chances. They will also need time to develop it slowly, it’s not that they will have mental power immediately after the Integration of Brains.”
“How about this, can I talk to them?” The brain’s voice had a hint of helplessness, “You contact them, and I will talk to them.”
Qin Fen continued to remain silent. According to the brain’s previous introduction, there was a possibility of the Integration of Brains accidentally forming a madman. This was why previous scientists had abandoned their bodies in order to ensure relative safety. They had even left a command for the whole Founding Society in which they were restricted from giving themselves a body.
If that was really the case, no one would dare to guarantee that this big brain was completely normal and not a mad brain that had incredible powers and was trying to trick him with a lie that was mostly true.
There is no need for too many lies. Even if there’s only one lie out of a million sentences, all it has to do is to achieve a perfect deception.
Qin Fen would not forget the teachings of Squad Leader Hao. A truly intelligent person would not have a mouth full of lies. He would say a whole bunch of truth, with just a few false statements to complete one deception.
Qin Fen must admit that the brain in front of him may be the smartest brain in the entire Federation. Even if it were to really lie to him, in the face of this skull-less brain, he would still not be able to distinguish the truth of its words.
“Are you suspecting that I am a madman?” The brain sighed. There was really no way to prove if it was lying, “Ai! There is still no way to communicate with a science amateur like you. I just need to talk to them and give them information. As to whether or not I’m lying, they’ll know better than you.”
Qin Fen rubbed his forehead gently. This was the first time he was called an amateur ever since his debut. Yet in front of this premium science and technology, he was indeed an amateur among amateurs.
The call was finally connected. From Lin Liqiang’s standpoint, Qin Fen knew that his two friends would definitely want to know about the technology in this area. Even if they ended up not being able to undergo the Integration of Brains, they would still want to know a little about it.
A brief introduction was enough for Lin Liqiang and Enzo Rota to show an interest that was far beyond Qin Fen’s imagination. The brain’s emotions were obviously heightened as it was communicating with adepts of its field. The three ‘people’ were chatting with much enthusiasm.
Qin Fen had been listening for a long time so he managed to understand parts of the conversation. For Lin Liqiang, they were only a certain nutritional supplement. Of course, this kind of nutritional supplement was very crucial as it was impossible to separate consciousness.
There was only one consciousness in the brain. If it was separated, the remaining brain would be equivalent to being dead. It wouldn’t be able to exist in a pure state of a computer that was responsible for storing knowledge and operations.
The foundation of the Integration of Brains was having a brain with an independent will. If there is no such thing, it won’t work. The brain that was floating in the nutrient solution didn’t want to die, so its consciousness could only stay in this big brain. If it were to venture into Lin Liqiang’s brain, there would be a collision between two consciousness. Regardless of who would win in the end, it would no longer be its original self. This also meant that it had also died, and had formed a new consciousness.
“Is everything ready?” Lin Liqiang’s finger tapped on the table, “That’s great, we’ll head over now! I’m thinking that the knowledge of my seniors will surely help me achieve a quicker research breakthrough. Mental power, haha… I am very much looking forward to having it. At that time, it will probably become so much easier for me to peek at girls showering…”
Qin Fen looked at Lin Liqiang in the projection who was rushing to pack up. He was skeptical that this guy wanted to undergo the Integration of Brains not because of the knowledge, but more so for the mental power. Or should he say, to be able to peek on girls showering.
