Chapter 636 Replication Success
When Su Hao experienced the ‘infectious disease’ hedgehog disaster a long time ago, he had already made some speculations about the functioning of such peculiar mental abilities.
Typically, human mental strength does not possess a trait similar to ‘recovering metal’, allowing self-restoration to its original state.
Once a change occurs, it becomes truly irreversible, making it difficult to return to the original state. Similar to some special mental illnesses.
In other words, peculiar abilities like those of the hedgehog or Zhi Peng, although seemingly invincible and unfathomable, fundamentally do not alter a person’s mind.
This is just a ‘projection,’ once this projection method is deciphered, not only those recorded peculiar mental abilities but even more interesting effects can be developed.
Unfortunately, similar to the doom system, Su Hao speculated the operating principle but couldn’t find any traces of operation.
Attempting to analyze each step of the operation of special mental abilities currently seems unlikely unless his observation tool ‘mental power’ undergoes a fundamental improvement, allowing him to directly observe the process of ability performance.
It can only be set aside for now, to be picked up and reexamined later when time permits.
Su Hao said, “Feng Cheng, go represent us in presenting a bouquet of flowers!”
After all, there was still some degree of friendship…
Feng Cheng replied, “Alright, Boss Wei.”
Su Hao suddenly thought of Ah Xing Ah Wang, and couldn’t help but ask, “Are Ah Xing A few guys doing well?”
Feng Cheng smiled and said, “They are both in high spirits now, telling stories of past missions and disaster relief with their grandchildren, very happy. They are getting older, but it’s just a matter of time, they won’t die.”
Su Hao nodded and said nothing more.
Happiness may not always be real, perhaps just a forced smile in helplessness.
The difference between immortals and mortals is evident. He has a long lifespan, while those he knows age and pass away.
For him, more than fifty years passed in the blink of an eye, but for ordinary people, it’s almost their entire life.
Life is truly fleeting, so brief that one ages before truly experiencing the world.
If he hadn’t traveled to the immortal world and mastered the core techniques of cultivation, perhaps by now, like Ah Xing A and A Wang, he would have aged too?
However, there’s nothing more to say, life in one’s perception is just as it is, aging and dying…
Su Hao had initially wanted to find an opportunity to reunite with Ah Xing A and A Wang, but upon reflection, he dismissed the thought.
The long journey, not being accompanied like Yashan Feng Cheng, is all but an illusion.
“Let’s continue researching the ‘Planet Virus’! I have a feeling that success is not far off!”
After modifying the issues from the last attempt, Su Hao once again began designing the latest version of the ‘Planet Virus,’ now version 3.2, still in the shape of an ellipse but much smaller in size, only as big as a van.
This progress in structural technology had taken Su Hao ten years.
Fifteen days later, a large metal ellipsoid was freshly made, Su Hao patted its surface and joked, “Brother Planet Virus, give me a break this time, hold on a bit longer…”
Finishing his words, he transformed into a [Life Master], then carried the ‘Planet Virus,’ and teleported to the Keystar.
Without hesitation, he dropped it in the familiar spot.
The ‘Planet Virus’ spun and fell into a deep abyss.
“Initiate!”
“A bang—”
The ellipsoid instantly exploded in the middle, splitting into two parts that shot in opposite directions. At the same time, a swarm of small rocket missiles shot out from the half ellipsoid’s interior, piercing towards the designated locations, breaking through obstacles without hindrance.
After reaching the target, the swarm exploded again, releasing numerous special devices that, almost in the instant of the ellipsoidal parts stopping, were skillfully arranged into a perfect ellipsoid.
The entire process seemed complex but was completed in just two seconds.
Next, the focus system started, and the abundant material from the ellipsoid’s cross-section began transforming into Source Pearls, almost forming a mountain.
The critical step approached, the one that caused Su Hao the most headaches and failures—the Source Transformation system.
Using these Source Pearls to convert into ‘temporary products of quality’ for the material structure of the ‘replicated form’ Planet Virus.
His heart gradually tightened as he focused on the slightest changes below.
The main structures of the two ellipsoidal halves were unfolding, transforming into thousands of square blocks with small indentations, mixing with the pile of Source Pearls.
Each square block could precisely absorb a Source Pearl in its indentation, appearing chaotic yet orderly.
Su Hao breathed a sigh of relief, muttering, “Successful match!”
The next step would be meticulous, each small cube was a very precise source device containing all the information of the whole ‘Planet Virus.’
Once a cube successfully absorbed a quality Source Pearl, it could utilize the Source Pearl to reconstruct a new ‘replicated form of the Planet Virus’ from scratch.
Although the ‘replicated form of the Planet Virus’ had a lifespan of less than two hours, completing the replication task was already sufficient.
In Su Haos hopeful gaze, Xiaoli Fang began to play a role. One by one, identical small cubes attached to the source pearl proliferated, as if appearing out of thin air, resembling the appearance of the Master of Golden Source when casting skills.
These small cubes automatically stacked around the original small cube, compressing and expanding outward, stacking orderly, gradually forming an ellipsoid as large as a van, thousands and thousands!
The process seemed long, but in just two breaths, the stacking was complete.
Even the surface was slightly raised by these “replicates.”
However, the replication was not yet complete; this was just the framework of the virus structure – the more complex internal structure was still being constructed tirelessly.
Five seconds later, Su Hao’s eyes lit up, and he exclaimed in surprise, “Replication succeeded!”
In total, it took less than thirty seconds, and at least five thousand replicates of the “planet virus” were successfully replicated!
Give these five thousand replicates a serial number, called “first-level replicates.”
Assuming that after dispersing these five thousand “first-level replicates,” another thirty seconds pass, and each successfully replicates five thousand replicates, then one would obtain two and a half million “second-level replicates,” and then twelve trillion five hundred billion “third-level replicates”…
If everything goes smoothly, the number of replicates that can be obtained in an hour is one hundred twenty to the power of five thousand replicates!
It’s simply unimaginable!
Moreover, the lifespan of the first-level replicates is two hours, but after the first-level replicates become second-level replicates, the lifespan refreshes to two hours again. Theoretically, with enough materials, replication could go on infinitely!
Amazing, my virus!
While Su Hao did some simple calculations, there were new changes in the more than five thousand “first-level replicates” below.
The “random gate” program activated.
The more than five thousand “first-level replicates” randomly connected positions within a range of two hundred kilometers, then disappeared from the original location one after another, randomly sent away.
After successful transport, the “first-level replicates” immediately exploded, splitting into left and right halves, shooting out in opposite directions, repeating the replication process once again.
Thirty seconds later, Su Hao smiled and said, “The ‘second-level replicates’ are successful!”
This way, continuous replication went on until there would eventually be enough to explode the entire planet. At that time, all replicates would be directed towards the explosion, effortlessly sending the entire planet into the depths of the universe.
“‘Third-level replicates’ are also successful!”
“Fourth level…”
“Fifth level… impressive, my virus! Continue!”
…
But soon, the smile on Su Hao’s face gradually disappeared, looking surprised, he said, “Huh? Why did it stop…”
When the “planet virus” evolved to the seventh-level replicates, seemingly able to capitalize on its success and completely transform the massive Keystar, unexpectedly, at this point, a large number of replicates lost their replication ability and stopped.
Su Hao waited a while, but even the farthest point could only replicate up to the seventh level, then it stopped! Although scattered elsewhere, still operating according to the program, they couldn’t obtain eighth-level replicates.
Because the “focus system” had collapsed, unable to access large amounts of energy source.
Su Hao stood on the ground, casually called over a small cube that could no longer work correctly, carefully observed it, recorded it in the bullet space, and compared it with the initial small cube.
Soon, Su Hao discovered the problem: “So, the structure of the seventh-level replicates and the structure of the original virus body have deviated slightly, this slight deviation caused the virus to stop working…”
Su Hao announced, another failure.
Holding the sample, he quickly left the Keystar.
