He told Lin Qiaoqiao and the others what had happened, and they stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
Xia Chunqi asked, "You said that my cousin's condition worsened because someone sabotaged her!"
Zhang Zhongxia and the others couldn't believe it either. Ordinary people who are protected in a peaceful society have never seen anything involving human life. It was a huge shock.
After a moment's thought, Lin Qiaoqiao instructed her subordinates to retrieve Lin Shuying's recent activity records, which quickly led to the jade and gold. She replaced all the stones and told Liang Ranran and the others, "You guys do the carving. Shuying won't be designing this order. She should have drawn up a design draft; just follow that. Keep the raw stones. On the day they come to collect the goods, hold a press conference, put the stones on the table, set up eight or nine detectors to alarm, and let the whole intergalactic world see them!"
Wei Linwei asked, puzzled, "Why not just send them back or call the police? If they have too much power and calling the police won't work, then expose them to everyone on the entire StarNet."
Lin Qiaoqiao looked at the others, and they all had the same thought. She said helplessly, "If we do that, Shu Ying's situation will be exposed. How many of us can we send in? After they're in, how are we going to deal with the others? We're already in a weak position, and then we'll have to send our information out again?"
Her tone was somewhat unpleasant. She sighed and said, "Listen to me on this matter. Right now, Qingfengyi is being plundered and devoured by the surrounding insectoids. We not only need to defend ourselves, but also fight back. Otherwise, the insectoids will always be looking for an opportunity. Go and get busy, I'll handle things here."
After everyone left, Lin Qiaoqiao asked the medical staff, "How long can we last with the new drug Shuying again?"
The medical staff said cautiously, "I...I don't know."
Lin Qiaoqiao: "Based on your judgment, there's no need to think about anything else. I believe you should have this kind of judgment after being in the research institute for so long."
After a moment's consideration, the medical staff said, "After ruling out the risk factors the professor mentioned, there should be two or three months. The previous test results were affected by those risk factors, but now that they're gone, we can maintain the previous assessment. The reason there's no change is because the boss's health has already deteriorated, so..."
Lin Qiaoqiao asked, "Is this under the condition of using gene therapy for two or three months?"
"Yes, I'm not entirely sure either. Drug B389 is an old drug with no new clinical data for a long time. I don't know why the professor told me to use it."
Lin Qiaoqiao: "Let's try it first, and then we'll talk about it after Shuying wakes up."
Lin Shuying woke up three hours after taking the medicine. Her complexion had changed drastically, from deathly pale to a rosy red, as if she had suddenly transformed into a living person.
Lin Qiaoqiao almost burst into tears when she saw that the person was awake, and choked out, "You're finally awake! You scared me to death!"
Lin Shuying laughed and said, "You'll have to get used to it."
"How could anyone possibly adapt to something like this!"
You have to adapt, even if you can't. That's reality.
"Life and death are inevitable, parting is inevitable like flowers in bloom. Instead of worrying about future losses, enjoy the present moment. I need a sum of money, around 300 million. Can I manage that?"
Lin Qiaoqiao wiped away her tears and said, "Don't mention three hundred million, three billion will do. I'll go tell Yunzhi, and I'll transfer it to you right away. Also, your illness was caused by someone, and I won't let those people get away with it. I'll expose their conspiracy. It's a pity we can't retaliate against them now, otherwise I would definitely... I would definitely retaliate tenfold!"
While texting Lu Yunzhi, Lin Qiaoqiao also told Lin Shuying about the stone. Lin Shuying hesitated for a moment before asking uncertainly, "You mean there's something wrong with the jade stone the official gave me?"
Lin Qiaoqiao: "Not only jade, but gold also has radiation. Your genes are already severely damaged, and you only need a small trigger to break down. They even provided you with a radiation source specifically designed for your genetic condition. What's most hateful is that they transferred all our experts in this field away, leaving only two or three medical staff who can't do anything. How can there be such despicable people in the world! I thought it was already too much for them to cause some accidents to our project and trip up the process and materials, but now they actually want to kill you."
The more they talked, the angrier they became, but they had no way to teach those people a lesson.
Lin Shuying asked, "Has everyone been affected?"
Lin Qiaoqiao said, "No, it's okay for normal people to come into contact with it for a short period of time, but people like you with genetic breakdowns shouldn't come into contact with it."
Lin Shuying smiled and said, "I understand. You can go and get busy. I'm fine with whatever you want."
Lin Qiaoqiao has been very busy lately, but she still tries her best to stay by Lin Shuying's side. Now that she's awake, she has to go about her own business.
"Take a good rest before going to work. I've set me as your emergency contact. Contact me immediately if anything happens."
"Okay, keep it up, you've worked hard."
After Lin Qiaoqiao left, Lin Shuying stared blankly at the ceiling for more than ten minutes before getting up and entering the holographic pod. She opened a mini-game interface on the Star Network and contacted the fellow space pirate she had contacted earlier.
"The original plan can't be carried out. Can you help me think of another way to quickly achieve the result I originally wanted?"
The other party asked, puzzled, "Why can't we carry out the original plan?"
Lin Shuying said, "I can live for another month or so. The original plan was to live for two or three years, but that's too late."
"What! What's going on?"
Lin Shuying: "They attacked me. I thought that at least in the interstellar world, people wouldn't resort to underhanded tactics; everyone would openly plunder. So I devised that gentle plan before. Even though I don't feel a sense of belonging here, I still hope to promote the treasures of China and let everyone know that such a civilization once existed. Besides, I don't want my creation, Qingfengyi, to be destroyed. Now... I've changed my mind. People are always like this; as long as desires exist and groups exist, true harmony is impossible."
"You previously wanted to independently build an intelligent server hidden in the void to host Qingfengyi, but we've only just begun, and they're still writing the program. The base has been chosen, and it should be built in three to five years. Two months... that's too difficult, especially considering your many demands."
Lin Shuying thought for a moment and asked, "Could they transfer the interstellar AI over for me to use?"
"Huh? Are you crazy? I don't think that's possible."
Lin Shuying thought of the hacker's competitive spirit and the mad scientist movie she had accidentally come across in her previous life, and felt a little eager to try it out. "How do you know it's impossible if you haven't even asked? Can I talk to them directly?"
Lin Shuying connected with the AI research team hidden in the space pirate world. The only difference between this group and the official AI research institute seemed to be that they wanted the AI to develop its own soul, while the official ones didn't. One group was a steadfast fanaticism for digital life, while the other believed digital life shouldn't exist. At the same time, the public didn't accept digital life either, because once a human soul disappears, it's gone forever; the future evolved by the AI after receiving data is a false future. In an era of widespread scientific knowledge, few could accept that after their death, another version of themselves would exist, evolved from collected data. No matter how intelligent an AI becomes, it cannot change the fact that it relies on massive amounts of data to piece together so-called new content. The soul is independent, pure, and unique, not pieced together from countless fragments of unknown origin.
