Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 740 - 518 I Am a Clone?

Looking at the middle-aged man walking out of the small room, Li Zheng finally remembered where he had seen the figures of Yakumo and Yelan.

"Are you the cloaked man who helped me extract my genes?"

Li Zheng pointed at Yakumo and exclaimed. When he first encountered Divine Power, he was forced back by the opponent's formidable strength. It was this small figure in front of him who helped him draw a vial of blood from Divine Power.

He was quite grateful to her at the time.

"You're only now recognizing me?"

Yakumo's voice carried a hint of amusement: "Last time, a part of the reception staff was reassigned to the Matrix to guard those initially distorted creatures. As you can see, I have a good relationship with the 'Doctor,' so he told me about you taking the mission.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have helped you get that vial of blood back then."

"I see." Li Zheng's eyes revealed a hint of realization. So it turns out his biggest role back then was really just running errands!

"But something's not right; isn't the Doctor supposed to be a Merchant in the Matrix now? How is he here?"

He looked at the middle-aged man in the lab coat.

The Doctor adjusted the lenses on his face, and the light reflected a bright, dazzling sheen: "It's just some simple projection techniques. The clinic I established within the Matrix is sufficient to meet most medical needs, so I only need to leave a partial consciousness projection there."

"Oh!! That explains it. I had thought it was a projection back then."

Li Zheng nodded: "So, is this your actual body now? It's surprising that you look identical to an Earthling."

"Pfft~"

The Doctor didn't speak, but beneath Yakumo's hood came a stifled chuckle: "This is not his actual body, just a bionic body shell composed of bionic organs and metal skeletons...well, you can think of it as a robot."

"A robot... an Intelligent Humanoid?" Li Zheng was astonished. Isn't this the same as his Intelligent Humanoid?

"No, strictly speaking, a bionic body should be considered a more advanced version of an Intelligent Humanoid. You will never find such schematics within the Matrix."

Yakumo explained: "Because the materials used to make it are too complex, and the process is too tedious. With the rigid rules of the Matrix, it's hard to sustain their existence."

"The main issue is that there are too many bionic organs, and the Matrix doesn't have the environment to cultivate them. The cost-performance ratio of bionic bodies is too low to be suitable for use in the Matrix; it's not about the lack of rule support."

The bionic Doctor was clearly not as aloof as the projection Doctor and spoke relatively more. Seeing Yakumo didn't explain thoroughly, he supplemented: "There is an even more advanced system above the bionic body, but it was recently listed in the 'Prohibited Directory' by the Terminal. No one is allowed to activate it, and even related research data has been forcibly erased."

More advanced system.

Li Zheng realized something and asked, "Could you be talking about 'cloning' technology?"

"You know about it?" The Doctor was a bit surprised.

"What's so strange about that?"

Li Zheng smiled: "On our planet, such technology has long been researched, but because it's too inhumane, it was completely banned...hmm?"

At this point, Li Zheng's expression shifted slightly.

The act of banning cloning technology in the Matrix made him think of Earth's attitude towards this technology, surprisingly coinciding by chance.

The Doctor was increasingly surprised: "The reason the Terminal originally banned cloning technology was also because it was too inhumane. You need to know that I originally had related technical data, and since being banned, even the memories stored in my mind were stripped away."

"Stored in the mind?" Li Zheng was shocked. How is such a mind developed that it can remember an entire set of scientific and technical data?

"You seem quite surprised?"

Yakumo said from the side: "Don't forget, he's currently a bionic man, with a bionic brain connected to high-capacity memory chips. Memorizing some data is as easy as storing files in a computer, and without any confusion."

"... " Li Zheng was silent for a long time and then uttered two words: "Awesome!"

This bionic technology, I wonder if it could be hacked. If it could effectively resist hacking methods, it would undoubtedly be the best tool for technological research and development.

Imagine, data that should be stored on a computer can be directly stored in the brain, and whenever needed it can be retrieved anywhere and anytime.

What could be more convenient than this?

"There are also limitations." The Doctor shook his head: "The biggest drawback of the bionic body is the lack of creativity. Once controlling this shell, the brain is like being shackled, only usable for known technical work."

"...Oh, it's fine then."

Indeed, it fits the Matrix's rules. The more formidable something is, the more limitations it has.

This way, bionic bodies cannot engage in the development of emerging scientific projects, only in some routine tasks.

But in certain specific situations, they are still very useful.

Even someone as uninformed about technology as Li Zheng could think of a few applicable scenarios, such as entering an environment unsuitable for human survival to handle certain difficult problems.

If there had been bionic people at Chernobyl, dealing with the nuclear leak wouldn't have required others to volunteer to their deaths.

Or sending them to a space station as flexible information transmission tools?

If Jade Rabbit 2 were a bionic body, the photo of a suspected building on the moon would have long ago lost its "suspected" label.

What about when a deep-sea submersible malfunctioned, and going outside to perform temporary repairs?
