Chapter 914: Chapter 159 Research

Before acting, contemplate the arduous problems within your heart...

"It sounds interesting, but the more you think about it, the more terrifying it is, huh." "Fervor" appeared at the edge of Xiang Shan’s vision. The young artist, wearing sunglasses, crossed his arms and sat cross-legged on top of the whale’s head: "He is under quite a bit of mental pressure. I mean, Six."

"For us, this is something that happened decades or even a hundred years ago, no amount of pondering can change it, we can only accept it." "Crime" said with closed eyes: "But in Six’s time, those events were just happening. He is probably still trying to find ways to remedy the situation?"

"Wow, wow, wow... What mindset could make someone vote for Yog after being angered by Two and Three? If one of his personality masks is trying to remedy something, wouldn’t the opposite mindset collapse even further?"

"Given Xiang Shan’s personality, would he prioritize ’killing’ or ’saving’?" Xiang Shan of "Omega" laughed at himself: "I think I can probably understand his mindset. To him, the ’trolley problem’ is just a formality. He’s probably... laying out all the motivations and ideas he’s lived by, putting them all out in the open for analysis."

——Put everything... as weights... on both ends of the scale...

Xiang Shan clenched his fist, then relaxed it.

——Make a decision you won’t regret...

"Such a fretful Martial God." "Fervor" sighed.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." "Crime" was somewhat surprised: "When it comes to fretting, you were even worse when you were hanging in Paradox City."

"Indeed. This made me realize one thing deeply—everyone is Xiang Shan." Xiang Shan of Omega bowed his head: "The problems we are troubled by now are just residues of the problems faced by the Martial God. Time has long made many issues not issues anymore."

"Makes sense." "As expected of me."

The other two nodded in agreement.

"Speaking of which, you." "Benchmark" looked at "Crime": "By the way, do you have any leads on the topic of ’applying inner strength derived from whale language’? Recently, you’ve been allocated the most brain zone task time."

In that underwater base, Xiang Shan also took the time to help Ola Freeman redesign the central chip for whales.

The central chips used by whales have certain differences from those of humans. However, Ola and his team are biologists, not engineers; they couldn’t easily build a comprehensive prosthetic body control system for Xiang Shan and others.

Applying the central system chips of humans directly to whales would result in a constant stream of bugs. This is one reason Ola seldom highly cyberizes whale groups. Unless they abandon their flesh from the start, preserving only the brain in a jar, completely giving up aerobic respiration. If a vitally important prosthetic organ suddenly had a bug, the whales would die in various strange postures.

Back then, the world’s most excellent scientific teams, under the premise of the world’s resource tilt, could only solve this problem in decades.

What Ola Freeman could do was to continually patch based on the knowledge he figured out and use his expertise to record whale language and brain activity.

Two hundred years later, he fully recorded how a group of different species of whales and multiple languages merge together.

Humans once plundered slaves of different languages from Africa to America. Slaves from different tribes, whose languages were not mutually intelligible, gradually fused their languages in daily communication. The language used by the next generation of slaves was almost a new language pieced together from numerous fragments of their predecessors’ languages. The last group of whales on Earth learned a similar language in the same way.

Whales’ language skills are developed enough. Furthermore, research from the twenty-first century has shown that much of their language must be learned postnatally. There are huge differences between the languages of different killer whale tribes. During the great extinction two hundred years ago, the mortality rate among older and adult whales was the highest — just like humans, aging individuals were less able to resist the side effects of gene modification surgery.

The surviving young whales often learned some language, but not necessarily completely.

The same thing that happened to the black slaves also happened to the whales.

The last group of whales on Earth spontaneously pieced together the language fragments they mastered and learned to communicate.

Ola Freeman recorded this process.

The daily recording itself is worthy of respect. This scientific investigation record that lasted for two hundred years, in today’s Scientific Knight Order, is enough to unconditionally exchange for the status of a Great Knight, and the permission to establish an independent order. It is not impossible to directly earn the title of Knight Commander.

With this foundation, researching a central system chip more suitable for whales is only a matter of time.

However, Xiang Shan’s time was now too limited. He couldn’t stay here for several years just to develop the chip for this group of whales.

He was no longer the capricious academic Lich King of over two hundred and fifty years ago.

He could only reconstruct an underlying protocol to slightly solve the dolphins’ "excessive priority for instinctual impulses" problem.

Besides that, Xiang Shan basically went through the process with a few people in that base, assigning them some simple tasks and letting them explore and learn the development process of the prosthetic body control system.

The underlying system of this prosthetic was originally conquered by Xiang Shan leading people through the challenges. He knew very well which barriers needed to be overcome and what problems might be encountered inside.

It can be said that no one understands this development process better than him.

In the late stages of Superman Enterprise, there was a mature development system.

If he understood whales like Ola does, he could even lead a team to make a finished product within a few years.

However, with Xiang Shan guiding the way, Ola Freeman and his team could explore the path on their own.

And during this process, Xiang Shan also copied Freeman’s research results of the past two hundred years.

Freeman temporarily did not wish this research result to be made public. If this result were uploaded to the internet, everyone would immediately understand that a group of whales is hiding in Earth’s oceans. The tranquility here would be broken.

"However, leaving a copy to Niyaguti might be beneficial as well." Ola Freeman said: "Although we’re still holding on now, we’re already starting to age. No humans are willing to reproduce here, and there are too few young people. Once the human population collapses... whales may not be able to survive independently. I do not know what the future holds for this place, nor do I dare to imagine the future of humanity. So, let Niyaguti have a copy."

——In case this small settlement can’t survive until the day human civilization rises from the ashes, at least this research data can serve as evidence that a handful of humans and whale remnants once struggled together.
