Chapter 449: The Transformation of Consciousness and Code

Emily was in a terrible mood. As a female fire dragon who had reached adulthood shortly after birth, she had always soared freely in the sky. Where had she ever been so humiliated?

"But... something seems wrong. It seems a bit light."

Emily, who had just woken up, felt the changes in her body and immediately became happy, "Finally, it's better. That damn power has finally disappeared."

Before Emily could be completely happy, she saw a piece of food in front of her. Without thinking, she took a bite, and then the disappeared power returned to her body, pressing her down so she couldn't move.

"It's this human who is playing tricks." As a member of the super-intelligent fire dragon species, how could Emily not know that the power pressing down on her was the power of the person in front of her?

Although she didn't understand where he got such powerful strength, Emily also knew what she should do. Submitting to the strong was not a shameful thing.

"A fire dragon is a fire dragon; as soon as it wakes up, it wants to eat people." Ye Nan connected his mind with the fire dragon's mind, capturing her mental fluctuations so that he and she could converse.

"What is your name?"

"My name is Emily," Emily answered honestly. Facing a human with magical powers, she had already suffered enough, so naturally, she was honest and had no other thoughts.

"Emily, you are female?" Ye Nan was surprised. He hadn't expected this fire dragon to be female, "But female is female, it's no big deal. Anyway, you are used for experiments."

"Experiments?" In Emily's mind, a scene abruptly appeared of being tied to a laboratory table, with a group of people holding knives and gesturing at her. This made Emily very confused.

She had never seen an experiment, nor had she heard of an experiment, but she reacted to the word 'experiment,' and even fear and dread appeared in her heart.

It was just like a person looking at a sour plum and saliva involuntarily forming in their mouth; it was a completely instinctive bodily reaction.

"Interesting." Ye Nan looked at Emily with great interest. Ye Nan, who had always been connected to Emily's mind, also felt it when Emily reacted to the word 'experiment,' and at the same time, the thoughts in Emily's heart were also glimpsed by him.

Generally speaking, if a living being has never heard of or seen a certain word, but the body produces a reaction, there is only one possibility: its memory has a problem, or its parents or even its bloodline ancestors experienced such things, and then passed it down into the descendants' genes, thereby producing a reaction.

And Little Godzilla just happened to fit this characteristic.

Thinking of this, Ye Nan's eyes couldn't help but dim. Although he had always kept Little Godzilla in the laboratory, extracting its blood for research, this made him feel very guilty, even though this was to protect it, and it had agreed to it itself.

"Can you tell me about your origin before the experiment?" Ye Nan's voice couldn't help but soften.

Various pieces of evidence indicated that the fire dragon was a descendant of Little Godzilla, so his guilt toward Little Godzilla also transferred to the fire dragon.

"My origin?" Emily looked at this human who wanted to chatter with her and felt very depressed. If the situation weren't stronger than the person, she would have long ago eaten the long-winded human in front of her. But there was no way; she could only helplessly tell her origin in full.

At this time, Ye Nan learned about the fire dragon species. It turned out that the fire dragon was not Godzilla, at least not completely.

They were all descendants of that fire dragon sleeping underground. When the end of the world came, violent crustal movements caused it to wake up from its slumber, thereby hatching descendants on a large scale.

What was strange was that the descendants of this fire dragon were all female, meaning that except for that male dragon, all the others were female dragons.

But what made Ye Nan even stranger was how the male dragon laid eggs.

As everyone knows, whether it is viviparous or oviparous, it is the female that gives birth. Excluding some hermaphrodites, in a group, the female is often the core. But in this fire dragon group, it was precisely the male that was the core. In the movie *Reign of Fire*, humans believed that as long as the male dragon was killed, the fire dragon group would completely perish, but a paradox arose here.

If the male dragon was the core and the female dragon was not, then how did the male dragon produce descendants? Just as a female dragon needs fertilization, the male dragon's sperm also needs a carrier to produce changes.

"What species did the first male dragon combine with to produce the fire dragon species?" Ye Nan murmured. In his mind, an answer couldn't help but emerge: a descendant of Little Godzilla.

From Emily's mind, he learned that the fire dragon group was not a descendant of Little Godzilla, but a fire dragon that had been sleeping underground for who knows how many years. However, various signs indicated that the fire dragon was related to Little Godzilla; otherwise, their bloodline wouldn't carry a trace of memory.

"It looks like I still need to test the genes to see what components are inside." Ye Nan murmured. No matter what the secret or relationship was, he would know just by checking the DNA.

"But before that, this fire dragon still needs to rest for a while." Ye Nan opened his eyes, and Emily, who was already nervous, completely passed out.

After she passed out, Si Mila's voice came over, "Is this Little Godzilla's descendant? It doesn't look like it."

Little Godzilla's body was so huge; no matter what, its descendants wouldn't be too small, just like no matter what, an elephant's descendants wouldn't be the size of an ant.

"Perhaps it's not Little Godzilla's descendant," Ye Nan said, "However, this kind of thing still needs a genetic identification. By the way, Si Mila, have the experts in the Empire's biological field arrived?"

Ye Nan suddenly remembered the fire dragon, and only then did he remember that he hadn't mentioned the matter of transporting the fire dragon at all, so he hurriedly added this sentence.

Upon hearing this, Si Mila's face immediately blossomed with a smile, "Hee hee, Brother only thought of it now, but I had already notified them."

Knowing what Ye Nan was going to do, she made a choice before Ye Nan even gave the order. For her, who possessed super-strong computing power, this was not a difficult task at all.

"Si Mila is still the best." Ye Nan chuckled. If Si Mila were in front of him, he would definitely grab her hard, then hug her and caress her.

Hmph!

A sound like a nightmare came from the wristwatch. Yi Li Si stood behind Si Mila with an unhappy face, while Si Mila secretly covered her mouth and laughed, "Sister Yi Li Si was right beside me just now."

After everyone returned, Ye Nan told them Yi Li Si's identity. Afterward, they never mentioned Skynet again, but uniformly called her Yi Li Si.

"Uh, actually Si Mila is cute, but my dear Yi Li Si is a beauty, a mature beauty." Ye Nan laughed awkwardly, hurriedly trying to please Yi Li Si.

"Is that so?" Yi Li Si looked at Ye Nan suspiciously; that look clearly meant she didn't trust him.

"Yes, I can swear by that... whoever, the Evil God Titan, and guarantee that every word I say is the truth." The Evil God Titan was in another dimensional universe and couldn't come over at all. Swearing by him was equivalent to not swearing. And even if the Evil God Titan were here, he wouldn't be afraid. His relationship with the Evil God Titan couldn't be called good, but it couldn't be called bad either.

"Forget it, I'll believe you once." Yi Li Si also knew that Ye Nan's swearing was completely unreliable. She deliberately didn't expose him.

"By the way, the one leading the team this time is Ma Xiu," Si Mila finished laughing and came out again, "As soon as Dr. Ma Xiu heard about such a magical creature as a fire dragon, he volunteered to rush over. Accompanying him are sixteen top biologists. They have all rushed over and will arrive at the valley where you are in about six hours."

"Hmm, since this matter is solved, let's talk about consciousness and code." Ye Nan had nothing to do, so he just happened to exercise his imagination, "If human consciousness can be transformed into code, then with the help of cloning technology, it is truly an immortal body."

What is the network? It covers every star field. If human consciousness can be transformed into code, then people can also live in the network. At that time, no matter what means are used, as long as the network cannot be completely destroyed, it is impossible to kill that person.

Even if the network is destroyed, it might not be possible to kill him, because the carrier of the code only needs a very small chip, and there are not just thousands or tens of thousands of such chips, but billions or trillions.

Unless the entire universe is destroyed, it is simply impossible to completely kill a person who has become code.

Of course, the premise for all of this is that this network is sufficient to cover the star field, not just spreading on a certain planet. If it only spreads on a planet, then you just need to destroy the planet.

Therefore, if human consciousness can be transformed into code and hidden in the network, with Ye Nan's sphere of influence, he can completely cover countless planets and bury some chips in these planets. In this way, he is truly immortal.

What's even better is that consciousness transforming into code means it will never perish, unlike him now; although he appears not to age, there is no guarantee that he won't suddenly perish one day.

"If we can transform consciousness into code, I will obtain eternity," Ye Nan said firmly. Although this eternity appears somewhat powerless when encountering the destruction of the universe, the universe is so vast. A dimensional universe can exist for who knows how many years. With that time, he would probably have long ago developed universe-drilling technology and opened the door to other dimensional universes.

"Si Mila, Yi Li Si, I have something I want to entrust to you." Ye Nan's expression was serious, his voice trembling, "Go all out to deduce the transformation between consciousness and code. Treat it as a compulsory research project." (To be continued.) ===== CHAPTER 450 =====
