Chapter 294: Something’s Up!

“The process of cloning would be so difficult, yet you could still lose control?”

Lin’s words were definitely troubling, but the first problem she mentioned actually wouldn’t be hard to solve.

When he was on Death Hunter Island, Feng Luo had spent time conducting a full-scale dissection of a T-750 in order to understand the machine’s structural weaknesses.

Due to his largely enhanced memory, he had essentially memorized the T-750’s structure. Although he hadn’t performed the most thorough examination possible, it would still greatly shorten the process of cloning the body!

Furthermore, the technology in War was advanced, so they would not have to build a complete clone in order to perform experiments. Most of the experimentation could be completed on a supercomputer or terminal, keeping the cost down as well!

But the second thing Lin had said, that a Federation permit would be required to use the T-750, was really disappointing. Clearly, what Lin meant to tell him was that even if the Hunter T-750 was cloned successfully, a Sniper like Feng Luo would not be able to make use of it!

The Federal Government would only permit one group of people to use combat robots: the Mechanist profession!

The Mechanists of War were now treated like local tyrants.

Buying a mechanical could cost hundreds of thousands of credits, plus the bullets used and maintenance costs could run from twenty or thirty thousand to more than a hundred thousand credits!

But in reality, the Mechanist was not purely a “local tycoon” profession at the start!

In addition to operating the Tiger-A50 and Eagle-C40, which had large-scale combat power, Mechanists could also choose to operate mechanical snakes, mechanical spiders, and related small-scale combat mechanicals!

In the game, combat mechanical organisms were categorized as “Mechas.”

But since these small-scale bionic combat mechanicals could not carry any heavy-type weapons at all, their combat power was lower and they were easy to damage. The maintenance cost of owning one wasn’t cheap!

Thus, Mechanists had created a market for large-scale mechanicals, then monopolized it!

However, if the cloning of Hunter T-750 was successful, it would undoubtedly usher in a new age!

After all, with the Hunter’s power, even a normal player who had gotten a Hunter would be able to directly take on or even triumph over a star player! In addition, the T-750’s body was reasonably sized, and a humanoid robot could effortlessly follow players on missions!

Therefore, if Lin could really clone a T-750, it would definitely be a popular product! After all, even a mechanical bodyguard like “Ah Nuo” was something to be proud of.

As for the point that only Mechanists would be able to use Hunters, Feng Luo had now thought of a solution.

From what Haruko had said on the ship, Feng Luo could predict that the Agent profession would most likely offer a third or fourth profession in the future!

Until then, he could choose the Mechanist for his new Profession Chip—this problem would undoubtedly be swiftly solved!

…

However, the truly problematic matter was clearly that Lin did not have any intention of researching how to clone a T-750. The reason was naturally the last problem which she had mentioned.

“A cloned T-750 has the danger of losing control!”

When the T-750 self-destructed, why did it not destroy its own Control Core program? Why had it allowed its Core program to be studied, which would also allow the possibility of cloning?

These unlikely events seemed to indicate something ominous.

However, Feng Luo’s mind had suggested a possible explanation as soon as Lin mentioned the problem.

Since the Hunter was very possibly a Terminator, then it was very likely that a larger system was also involved: the “Skynet”!

“Unable to be analyzed but able to be directly replicated and cloned!”

This inevitably led Feng Luo to a thought—could this be a conspiracy of Skynet?

People would first become aware of the threat of the Hunters, then Control Chips capable of direct cloning would fall miraculously into their hands.

Plus with the war between the rebellion army and the Federation, a third party of armed forces would definitely jump at the chance to take action. And as the technology in this world was very advanced, building robots was a more cost-effective option for gaining combat strength than training human soldiers.

Hence, many powers were very likely to start cloning Hunters to secure an advantage in combat… Then as more powers got involved, even the Federation would be forced to begin cloning!

When these combat robots reached a certain quantity, Skynet would then appear once more, taking direct control, subjugating humans…

Of course, all this was just a guess. The real situation was probably only known by the game company or the system supercomputer!

“Lin, if the sections of code which cannot be analyzed were erased and the remaining control program was used as a reference and guide, could you think of a way to clone a similar type of robot?” Feng Luo asked, trying his luck.

Honestly speaking, the profit potential here was too much to ignore, and since these things were prizes, it seemed impossible that they were completely valueless!

Until he could find some way to use the chip, Feng Luo would be relentless.

Furthermore, even if this really was some scheme of Skynet, the game still needed to develop some before that plot arc became feasible.

Until then, it shouldn’t really be a big problem, right?

“I could try, but I don’t have the time. You know that I’m in the most important stages of the W-virus research, so there’s no way that I can split my focus to deal with this!”

Lin’s reply once again made Feng Luo a little restless. Clearly, Lin might refuse even more of his requests in the future using this argument.

But following that, Lin’s words made Feng Luo’s heart lurch.

“I can look on the internal platform of the chipmaster guild to find someone willing to conduct the research you need, but this research would not be counted into our cooperation. Therefore, you’ll have to provide all the research funding yourself!”

“Mm, understood!”

Feng Luo heaved a sigh of relief inside. Clearly, the game wasn’t shutting off the option of cloning T-750’s entirely.

“Alright, I’ve posted the notification!” Lin’s technological glasses made short work of such simple tasks. “Since you are going to Huan Yu Company’s auction right after you leave here, you can take the Enhancement Potions we’re auctioning off with you.”

“A total of 100, 20 of each of the four model numbers, and another 20 belonging to the new model number which should be more suitable for some people.”

“How things go tomorrow will be up to you!”

The floor split open, and a silver-colored chest with a passcode lock slowly rose and stopped beside Feng Luo’s leg.

“Okay!”
