he forced himself to forget the fact that he was once human time and time again, and was defeated by the unadaptability of the tentacles time and time again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, each tentacle has its own sensory ability, causing him to experience unprecedented sensory overload.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he still has to use tentacles to move and interact with the environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dr. Hughes's human thinking conflicted with the physiological structure of this alien creature, causing him to frequently suffer from severe nerve pain and sensory distortion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was on the verge of collapse several times; the pain of the alien body alone was enough to make him almost suffocate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he still had the responsibility of saving the world; 3125 must be defeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Dr. Hughes endured, gradually got used to the physiological activities of this alien, and finally achieved self-reconciliation and obtained a new life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Even if this new life was truly not what he wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that, Dr. Hughes spent a long first year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this year, he developed tools, computer peripherals, and writing instruments adapted to the tentacles for the bud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He built chair-like objects and other furniture in this vault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the fit with this body continued to improve, Dr. Hughes even formulated a fitness plan and started personal hobbies outside of work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When night fell, he slept in a nutrient mud bath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To be honest, I admire Dr. Hughes's psychological endurance,\" March 7th said sadly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I turned into that appearance and couldn't change back for the rest of my life, I might have collapsed long ago... a tentacle monster with a beautiful girl core is still a tentacle monster...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry,\" Bai Bai Xuan patted March 7th's head, \"With me here, that's impossible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the first month of working in the bunker ended, Dr. Hughes reached a conclusion:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The anti-meme used to destroy 3125 exists beyond the limits of human intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone comes into contact with this anti-meme, their mind will be burned out, and their body will not be spared either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This profound and unalterable disorder occurs in every aspect of the universe around it, inevitably giving rise to violent reactions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To create this anti-meme, he must start from a human carrier, bring a suitable, \"single-celled\" benchmark concept, and then use a machine to artificially amplify this concept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the research progressed to the second year, after Dr. Hughes designed and built enough equipment, he reached a conclusion:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't build that theoretical machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't just that the gap between theory and practice was difficult to bridge, and experiments were repeatedly frustrated, but that there were huge flaws in the fundamental design.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing that these machines could not achieve the goals he expected, Dr. Hughes threw away all the blueprints and looked for another way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After completing the preliminary research, Dr. Hughes felt that he had unloaded a heavy burden and thrown away many negative emotions; compared to when he was first resurrected, his mental state was significantly better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's time to do something else to change the mood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dr. Hughes was calm, thinking about the arrangements for the next period of time, no longer painful, no longer so depressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking and thinking, he slowly sank to the bottom of the tank, deciding to start with self-transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He used his authority to constantly give instructions to the AI of Site-167 to add various equipment and raw materials to the vault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After everything was ready, Dr. Hughes performed precise mapping of the gene sequence of his body, and then started the design in the direction of life engineering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To facilitate free movement in the future, he designed life-support equipment covering the entire vault, which required him to rebuild the entire interior of the vault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this was not part of the original plan, Dr. Hughes believed it was crucial and extremely important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, he is now the Foundation personnel with the highest authority in the entire site, and his orders will be faithfully completed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the vault renovation project was completed, Dr. Hughes started the self-transformation project.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This project was complex and dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several years and several stages of adjustment, Dr. Hughes rebuilt the physiological structure of this body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He possessed a body size far exceeding his peers, and matching it was a super brain with the largest size, the most neurons, and the most complex neural connections on Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This brain was not even inferior to the host of the Foundation's artificial intelligence; it was enough to carry those profound, radial, and irreducible complex thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Dr. Hughes used his brain as a foundation to carry out exploration of the human conceptual space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in one exploration, he saw himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a humanoid complex shrouded in dazzling light, surrounded by similar people, whether they were alive or dead, real or virtual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This looks really beautiful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a group of angels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after being intoxicated by this scene for a moment, Dr. Hughes became alert again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turns out that looking down at himself from a higher dimension, he actually looked so small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps, in the eyes of 3125, our entire human mind is nothing more than this... Dr. Hughes raised his hand and waved at the little person in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he waved back in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Dr. Hughes continued to look down from this height, until at one moment, he realized his identity and mission:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I've always been wrong about one thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am a crazy technical genius, a crazy inventor who builds ultimate weapons... but that's all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am responsible for building the weapon, and there is someone else who loads the ammunition for the weapon and then presses the launch button.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The original concept that breeds sparks and needs to be amplified does not exist in his mind, nor can it be found in the bunker where he is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mathematically speaking, it never existed, nor can it appear in any form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be brought by someone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, the person carrying the ammunition and pressing the button has already arrived at the vault and is standing in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanied by a scream of horror and a brief pain in his eyes, a struggling figure appeared on the retina of Dr. Hughes's huge eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam only felt the world spinning, followed by an indescribable taste that filled his sense of taste, blocked his sense of smell, and even wanted to invade his lungs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when he had no strength to exert and felt he was going to drown, he suddenly realized that he could actually breathe in this strange liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he was able to temporarily regain his reason and thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Dr. Hughes, this was undoubtedly good news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black shadow in his eyes, although he briefly lost his mind in extreme fear and disgust, had more endurance than he had imagined, and quickly adapted to the special environment and structure of his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soaking in the warm, slightly fishy vitreous humor, Adam's thinking strung together clues bit by bit, piecing together an obvious answer that he had subconsciously ignored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This huge unknown life form is Dr. Bartholomew Hughes, whom everyone has been searching for in vain!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam laughed in the liquid, the last gas in his lungs rising: \"There is no expander! You are the expander!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But why don't you go out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can open the door of the bunker at any time to end all this; what are you waiting for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam floated quietly in the liquid, looking around with difficulty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he found another figure appearing at the edge of his retina; it was an aging and exhausted existence, no longer independent, but integrated with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made him feel quite vigilant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...By whom?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Wait a moment.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dr. Hughes transmitted such a message to Adam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Adam could react, he felt his brain explode instantly, unfolding suddenly toward the entire universe in a way that transcended topology.\u003C\u002Fp>",1366,"2026-06-14T04:01:53.953Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","d02a8bfc576e8a7fef60b11751cf05f52a5b8bda2b4957215aa45f7dc0b9159a","star-rail-i-established-the-foundation-at-the-st-chapter-639","star-rail-i-established-the-foundation-at-the-st-chapter-637",641,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstar-rail-i-established-the-foundation-at-the-st-cover.jpg"]
