Chapter 394

In fact, our Blue Star's cloning technology only achieved minor success on animals over a decade ago; under normal development, this field would need at least thirty to forty years before any major breakthroughs and gradual application.

But as I mentioned earlier, due to a specific reason, the technological levels of major powers on Blue Star have surged in recent years; the British Commonwealth, because of this reason, received extraordinary support in cloning technology, allowing them to reach maturity in just a few short years—now capable of creating near-perfect clones of adults.

As far as I know, the British Commonwealth's active A-rank psychic, the Countess, appears to be the perfect clone of the woman who died in the base; reportedly, she possesses the same A-rank abilities, no less potent than the original.," said Dr. Chen.

Helena's clone?

Her original consciousness is still trapped in the Taiyuan login interface!

Upon hearing this, Wang Yu's heart stirred.

When he used Earth Submersion to leave the castle, he had vaguely scanned with his spiritual sense a familiar blonde woman—but he was in too much of a hurry to escape to examine her face closely; could that woman have been Helena's clone?

If so, then he and this British Commonwealth "Countess" truly had a bitter fate.

"Doctor, you just said 'near-perfect,' meaning this clone still has flaws compared to a normal person—but what kind of deficiency is it?" Wang Yu asked after a moment's thought.

Since cloning was tied to this body he now inhabited, he needed to understand its advantages and drawbacks clearly.

"Ding Yu, do you know that cloning actually has two aspects: one is pure physical cloning, the other is consciousness cloning.

From what I understand, the British Commonwealth's cloning technology has reached a certain limit in the former—it can replicate a body with one hundred percent fidelity to the original; further progress now lies only in cloning speed and resource efficiency. But in the latter, it remains stuck at a bottleneck.

Although the British Commonwealth's cloning technology can now replicate thought and consciousness, it faces two insurmountable difficulties.

First, this consciousness replication is inherently incomplete—the cloned consciousness lacks certain memories, and there's a certain probability of developing mental disorders, such as schizophrenia, bloodlust, or even producing a complete idiot.

Second, the replicated consciousness cannot endure long—it seems to last only five to six years before spontaneously dissolving and vanishing without cause." Dr. Chen spoke at length, clearly well-informed about the British Commonwealth's cloning technology.

These words startled and surprised Wang Yu; after Dr. Chen finished, he could no longer hold back: "Doctor, you seem to know a great deal about the British Commonwealth's cloning technology?"

"Heh, that's natural. Every year, the top powers on Blue Star hold technology exchange conferences, where each nation shares its primary scientific advancements with others. But due to funding and personnel constraints, even if other nations receive these materials, they can only use them as references—they lack the capacity for deeper research," Dr. Chen said with a light laugh.

"Would nations really be so honest as to share the technologies they've worked hard to develop?" Wang Yu's face showed utter disbelief.

"Heh, normally they wouldn't want to—but if sharing such technology is mandatory, and if the shared technology earns recognition from a certain place, it brings even greater benefits, which in turn accelerates their own nation's technological iteration, then it's a different story.

For example, during previous exchange conferences, after the British Commonwealth gradually shared its cloning technology data, it received from that place the data on light-particle fibers; once they break through this technology, they'll be just steps away from manufacturing light-particle nerves." Dr. Chen spoke calmly.

"What place is so powerful that even a major power like the British Commonwealth needs its approval?

And isn't the light-particle nerve a material used in the mechs from 'Star River'?" Wang Yu asked, stunned.

"I cannot tell you what place that is, Student Ding Yu—you haven't been granted clearance.

You only need to know that, in a certain sense, all key scientific personnel in major nations—including the British Commonwealth and Huaguo—are all products of that place.

Their mission is to guide and assist the major powers on Blue Star in achieving breakthroughs in critical technologies as rapidly as possible, at any cost.

As for light-particle nerves, yes, they are indeed materials used in the mechs of 'Star River.' The ultimate goal of every nation on Blue Star is to manufacture those 'Star River' mechs in reality within the shortest possible time.

Those mechs will be essential forces to save Blue Star at some future point; everything you've learned in 'Star River,' even the spacetime chronometer on your wrist, is deeply connected to this. And the latest technologies assigned to each nation for research are all related to mech manufacturing." Dr. Chen explained calmly, then pointed at Wang Yu's wrist.

Save Blue Star!

Build mechs in reality!

Wang Yu's expression shifted repeatedly; confronted with so much information at once, even though he had weathered many storms, he felt a chill of shock. After steadying himself, he pressed urgently:

"What disaster will Blue Star face?"

"Why is it tied to some future time point?"

"Who developed 'Star River'? Who is the real authority behind it?"

"Must it be mechs that save Blue Star?"

He blurted out all his questions at once.

"All these questions involve top secrets. Regarding the future disaster of Blue Star, I cannot disclose any specific information until you are authorized.

The only thing I can answer now is about the game 'Star River'—but I can only reveal one sentence. Listen carefully." Dr. Chen spoke slowly.

"Please, Doctor," Wang Yu said solemnly.

"The virtual game 'Star River' is, in fact, a gift from the future." Dr. Chen said to Wang Yu with profound meaning.

"A gift from the future? So can I understand that 'Star River' shouldn't exist in this time—it's a game from the future?" Wang Yu's mind raced as he recalled the impossible black technologies in 'Star River,' his thoughts spinning as he asked.

"Heh, I've said enough today. Time's nearly up. If you have more questions, come back here at this same time tomorrow—we'll continue then." Dr. Chen raised his hand, and suddenly a pale, misty watch face appeared on his wrist; he glanced at it, then smiled at Wang Yu.

Wang Yu was startled—he realized nearly an hour had passed. He immediately agreed, then quickly asked one final question:

"Dr. Chen, before I go, one last question: you said many people from that place are helping nations break through technological barriers—are you one of them?"
