Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

Inside Rebecca's office.

As one of Umbrella's top doctors, Rebecca's office space is very spacious, and it also has a built-in break room.

There is a single bed and a washroom in the rest room, so that Rebecca can relax when she feels tired.

And it gave William the most intuitive feeling, that is, Rebecca's desk, sofa and various items, documents and files on the low table in front of the sofa were all neatly arranged by Rebecca.

A far cry from Halsey's messy office.

Like the study room of the sea view villa, whenever Halsey finishes working in the study room, William has to go to the study room to clean it up in person to ensure that there are no food or snack residues, so as to avoid attracting "uninvited guests" like Xiaoqiang.

It can be said that since William married Halsey back home, he felt as if he was just greedy for her body, and ignored Halsey's lazy character.

But William didn't have a 'flash', he could only envy a guy like Li Mu, who became the company's winner in life.

"Boss." At this moment, Rebecca, who was sitting by the virtual window, stood up and greeted William and Serena.

Then Rebecca let William and Rebecca sit on the sofa, she went to the water dispenser against the wall and took out two paper cups, filled them with water and put them on the low table.

She sat on the single sofa on one side, and then she said to William: "I have roughly read the technology of living skin, and the Terminator with the model number T-X.

Boss, then what do you want to discuss with me? "

William first picked up the water glass, took a sip of water, put the water glass on the low table, looked at Rebecca and said:

"After Catherine is pregnant and resting at home, you are Umbrella's top expert in biology, so I want to ask you to use Umbrella's technology...

Can 'human' be created? "

"Create a human?" Rebecca was taken aback, then said slowly, "Boss, are you saying that the human body is not made by cloning technology?"

"Well... almost." William nodded lightly, and expressed his point of view:

"We, Umbrella, have the technology to weave a divine body, so we shouldn't have any problems at all if we don't rely on cloning technology to weave a normal human-sized body.

But I haven't asked you formally before, that is the woven body, does it have a mind? Or your own consciousness...soul? "

"Definitely not." Rebecca put away her doubts and explained to William:

"If the clone may still retain some memories of the original owner, then it is impossible for the body made by weaving technology to have autonomous consciousness.

Boss, to tell you the truth, until now, Dr. Russell and I have only figured out about 40% of the human brain, and the remaining 60% is still unknown. "

"Hmm." William seemed to know that Rebecca would definitely answer like this, without revealing too much disappointment, and then suggested:

"What if the internal metal skeleton of the T-900 is used to fabricate the skin, internal organs and various organs of a living person?"

"boss?"

After hearing what William said, Serena looked at her boss in disbelief, vaguely guessing what William wanted to do.

"T-900? The internal skeleton of T-X, if it is equipped with intelligent artificial intelligence chips, it is indeed...'human' in a certain sense."

Rebecca did not deny William's point of view.

"Then, with the company's existing technology, is it possible to successfully produce 'eggs'?" William asked.

"Artificial eggs..." Rebecca raised her left hand and pinched her temples, frowning slightly, as if thinking about this possibility.

"Boss..." Taking advantage of this gap, Serena reached out and tugged at William's sleeve, and asked in a low voice:

"What do you want to do?"

"Hehe." William also turned his head and smiled softly at Serena:

"I remember you said two years ago, if your artificial intelligence can reproduce offspring, wouldn't it be a completely new species?

After being exposed to Skynet's living skin technology, I wanted the company to give it a try. "

"This..." Serena, equipped with a prosthetic body, actually had tears in her eyes, and said sincerely to William:

"Boss, I thought that after encountering an artificial intelligence like Skynet, you would be wary of me, as well as artificial intelligence like Cortana, Evelyn, and Tina...

But I didn't expect you to be so kind to me... us, boss. "

‘That’s because I have a system to confirm your loyalty… You are all human-like intelligence, so signing a non-disclosure agreement will definitely not betray you.

But more or less, I also want to make your artificial intelligence more perfect. ’ said William.

The company now has sixty-seven intelligent artificial intelligences, who have worked hard for Umbrella since their birth, without any complaints at all.

Like Serena and Cortana, the two earliest born intelligent artificial intelligences, almost witnessed the entire development of Umbrella.

In particular, Cortana assisted Halsey in creating the divine body, Serena accompanied him for nearly twenty years, and was willing to handle all the company's related affairs for him.

so…

William also really wanted to give these artificial intelligences who have made great contributions, a gift that is not a gift.

"Boss." At this time, Rebecca also stepped out of her thinking and shook her head slightly at William:

"As early as 2009, Stanford University's laboratory proposed the use of human stem cells to induce sperm or eggs.

Females lack male Y chromosomes, so it is best to extract male stem cells to make sperm and eggs to lure.

If the chemical formula provided by Skynet is used to create artificial blood, muscles, and organs, then it cannot be lured into sperm or eggs.

Moreover, the artificial egg technology mentioned in 2009 has not been perfected until now, because the side effects of this technology are also huge.

If the wife of a couple suffers from infertility, then the husband's stem cells are extracted to induce an egg, and the husband's sperm successfully fertilizes the egg...

So boss, what do you think is the child born? Could it be a miniature version of the husband? Or a husband and a child born to the husband himself?

That is a more terrifying situation than inbreeding.

In terms of ethics, it is also possible to use other male or female stem cells to lure, but the children born will strongly carry other people's genes, which is unacceptable to many people.

Of course, the most important thing is that this artificial fertilized egg will cause the child to suffer from a variety of genetic diseases and will not live long at all.

so boss...

The technology to create humans is an ability only possessed by gods, or god-level abnormal phenomena, and it is also a taboo ability. We humans cannot create a species that can reproduce by ourselves. "

"Hum..." William pondered for a moment, and finally said helplessly:

"It seems that the aspect of creating human beings and species is indeed a technology and means only possessed by 'gods'."
