Chapter 51 Great technology, not great people

"Walk...turn right...sit down."

Victor stood aside and gave orders. The well-dressed male corpse stepped out of the cabinet, turned right to opposite Donald, and stopped automatically after touching the chair, and sat down on the chair.

The movements cannot be said to be very smooth, but they are not stiff.

Donald's eyes were always on the body of this male corpse. He had seen many undead creatures. He had killed some of them with his own hands in the Red Cliff Town.

Those undead spirits are obviously faster and more aggressive than the corpse in front of them, but it is a disorderly, purely a killing act driven by the desire of the destruction creatures. The so-called "corpse tools" created by Victor is more of a sense of obedience to accept orders.

What surprised Donald the most was that he could not feel the negative energy on these corpses, and even had no other energy reactions.

The difference between the two is probably the difference between wild beasts and mechanical puppets.

"In my opinion, the relationship between the soul and the human body is the relationship between commands and actions. Simply put... the soul issues commands and the body executes them. In this case, it is like the boiling water on weekdays. You can use firewood or use a gas stove to create fire. The key is to generate heat. As long as the water can be boiled to a boil, there are many ways."

Arrange the plug-ins in the metal drawer on the desktop, and then said,

"I can find other ways to mobilize the bodies of the dead, so that they can naturally become a tool. You can regard it as a mechanical doll that needs to be tightly wound up before moving, and reincarnate the spirit... This is the synonym for virtual soul energy, because I am not really using soul energy. Using this title will make people misunderstand, just like this lady just did."

Victor is still talking about his research. Although the topic has deviated from what he had previously said about helping Donald kill Pope Salazar, the latter doesn't mind listening to this special technology now.

"With the funding of Zevet Taros, I have made a major technical breakthrough in the past two years. Taking this corpse, which I named Friday, as an example, by cutting the medulla inlet in its brain and filling it with a carbon-zinc battery as the energy source, it becomes a usable corpse tool, and the 'clocks' that control it are these plug-ins."

Speaking of this, Victor made an invitation gesture to Donald and the others, signaling them to come over. Donald did not refuse and stood up next to the corpse.

There are indeed signs of a craniotomy behind the head, and approximately where the back of the head is connected to the neck, there is a cassette jack similar to that seen by Donald in his previous life.

"Although I can't completely restore the body to the normal consciousness of action, I can already use these plugins to make the body perform certain tasks. You can regard them as a command transceiver. As long as these plugins are plugged in, it will perform some kind of work, such as the packaging work on some Renas factory assembly lines, which can already be competent for a simpler part, and I believe that after deeper technical research and development, this state will be improved."

For scientists like them, pursuing technological improvement has become an instinct engraved in their bones like eating and drinking water. When they talk about these things, they have a little endless meaning.

Donald only realized that Victor Kenstein was a chatterbox.

Stephanie stretched out her finger and poked Donald's waist, glanced out the window, and she understood very clearly. Anthony and the others were still waiting outside. They came up not to do academic discussions with others.

"Mr. Victor, from just now, you have been telling me the advantages and disadvantages of this technology. I do not deny that your idea has great potential. I also admire you for completing this seemingly impossible technology research and development. This is a great thing for today's technological revolution, but for me..."

Noting Stephanie's reminder, Donald intends to speed up the progress again.

"Wait, you said my technology has great potential, is it a great thing?"

Victor suddenly felt a little excited, which made Donald on the other side a little confused.

"Of course, isn't this an obvious thing? If your technology is successfully developed, I think it can increase the productivity of those factories by several times. Some of the more dangerous and heavy tasks in the daily life of the people also have substitute personnel. Such technology cannot be called great. What other technologies are worth describing as great?"

In fact, Donald has regarded Victor's technology as exactly the same as the robotic technology in his previous life or the mechanical puppet technology he had seen in Demingham before. The corpse tools tirelessly repeat a certain job are so similar to those machines and equipment on the assembly line.

However, the latter's manufacturing process and the acquisition of raw materials are simpler and cheaper. Unlike the mechanical puppets in Deminghan, it is often costing hundreds of gold pounds. This is a technology that is completely popular.

"Don't you think I'm doing this to desecrate the corpse and destroy the existing order of living things?"

Victor is not a person who is easily influenced by the outside world, but even so, after experiencing the opposition from almost the whole society, he was involuntarily pessimistic about the prospects for the development and promotion of his technology.

"Don't the assembly lines in the factory also destroy the business model of the original handicraft workshop? Mr. Victor, as you said, this is an epoch-making technology. If that's the case, it will inevitably challenge the old order. On the other hand... If we cannot transcend the status quo and achieve leapfrog development, then why should this technology distinguish the two eras?"

This is what Donald said in his heart. Although he still has some confusion about the technology of corpse tools, he will not be biased against this technology.

"I didn't expect that I could find someone as enlightened and visionary as you...Your Excellency, maybe you don't know that since my research and development, I have only heard similar words in the mouths of two people, one is you, and the other is..."

"Sevet Taros, right?"

It doesn't take much thought. Since Victor has been working under Severe Taros for so long, the latter naturally supports his scientific research theory.

"Yes, I thought I had found a soulmate, someone who was willing to support my research. Therefore, even though the outside world did not have a good reputation for the Taros family, I still happily joined the Taros family's laboratory."

"It turns out that he is not?"

In order not to let Victor continue to think divergently, Donald helped him make a conclusion.

"He is indeed interested in corpse technology, but not in the industrial revolution, but in controlling living people!"

"Um?"

Donald subconsciously made a nasal sound with questions.

After talking about the corpse tool technology for so long, it turns out that this technology can still be used on living people?

"I know what you are wondering about. Even I was completely unaware of this situation at first. I only discovered about three months ago that Sevit Taros had found someone else to steal my research data and apply the corpse technology to the living, trying to rely on this method to completely control some people and turn them into puppets and tools of the Taros family. Naturally, I could not support this behavior... so I became what I am now."

Victor pointed to his shoulders that were still unable to move freely, and continued with some helplessness.

"Fortunately, because there are many differences between the living and the dead, and my technical research and development was not mature at that time, so I failed to achieve his goal."

"So how do you kill Pope Salazar for me?"

After hearing too much information, Donald felt it was necessary to remind Victor to bring the topic back on track.

"Since you guys cannot attack Pope Salazar because this is Renas of the Taros family, then my solution is very simple, turning this place into our home court."

While speaking, there was a brisk sound in the fireplace next to it. It was probably because of a piece of firewood that was burned to the branch. Donald's attention was distracted for a moment, but when he came to his senses, he heard something like Victor.

After a brief silence, Donald looked at Victor, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Sevet Taros has done the experiment you have done on his back, have you perfected it?"

Donald was accustomed to analyzing some words. Victor had previously said that his technology research and development was not mature at that time.

At that time here, there is no doubt that when Sewit Taros was conducting a living experiment on his back, according to his tone when he said this, he was not mature at that time, but now he is mature?

"Yes, although I am very repulsive of this behavior, in order to prevent him from using my research results to perform some evil actions, this is the best way I can think of... After these three months of calculations, although I have not conducted a living experiment, I am confident that I can use this technology to successfully control Sevit Taros and let him accept our control. At that time, the situation in Renas will naturally become beneficial to us."

Speaking of this, Victor paused before continuing,

"Of course, there are some of my selfish intentions in it. I want to continue my research and thoroughly promote my experimental results in Renas... Nowadays, I am a wanted criminal. If I can't make some changes, I will die miserably. After all, there are not many life-saving benefactors like you."

"Hahaha~ I understand. As long as you can control Sevit Taros, you can rely on his power to help us kill Pope Salazar and continue your own experiments. If you want to cooperate with us now, you are actually interested in our strength. You want us to help you complete this step, right?"

Donald laughed, and Victor also showed some joy on his face. He thought he had succeeded in persuading him. Who would have thought that Donald would completely curl his smile in the next moment.
