However, if the bacterial brain of the target organism can be destroyed after the bacterial colony has copied it, then the copied organism will gain complete autonomous consciousness.
In other words, it's cloning.
However, under normal circumstances, regardless of whether the bacterial brain is destroyed or not, the cloned body will not have 100% of the original memory and abilities, nor will it know that it is a copied product.
They will only react with confusion and confusion, relying on past memories and instincts.
"If the bacteria here are really twin bacterial brains, then our task will be much more difficult. What does the memory chip say..."
Lu Yi scratched his head and asked again.
"If twin bacterial brains occur, if you want to resurrect the target organism, you need to destroy both bacterial brains at the same time. Otherwise, not only will the resurrected target organism turn into a monster, but the entire bacterial colony will also fall into a violent state..."
Lu Jia had a heavy expression on his face and raised his eyes to look at Lu Ding while speaking.
I saw that my companion who spoke very little had already walked to the side of the hard-scaled slug, and was observing the huge body from left to right.
After telling Lu Yi again to keep an eye on the feeding system, Lu Jia leaned towards Lu Ding.
It is not easy to break through the defense of this hard-scaled slug.
However, the development of the matter was obviously beyond Lu Jia's expectations. Before he could get to Lu Ding's side, the other party knelt down on one knee and started observing under the hard-scaled slug.
"Is there a way?"
Seeing Lu Ding's appearance, Lu Jia felt happy and secretly praised Lu Ding for his reliability.
If it had been Lu Yi's place, it might have taken twice as long and come with a bunch of nonsense.
"Have an idea."
Lu Ding, who was half-kneeling on the ground, said calmly without looking back.
"Fragmentation grenade, blast the bottom."
After speaking, Lu Ding pointed to the abdominal feet of the hard-scaled slug.
There are no hard scales covering it, the color is brownish red, and it is covered with shiny mucus. Just by looking at it, it gives people an unusually soft feeling.
"Can it be blown up to death?"
Lu Jia raised his eyebrows and thought this was a good idea.
However, there is always a gap between assumptions and reality. In the face of such an important task, it is better to ask more for confirmation and be more cautious. "Hard to say."
Lu Ding didn't hide anything and told the truth.
He has experience in using fragmentation grenades to deal with ordinary hard-scaled slugs, but to deal with this hybrid, and its size is so huge, to say that it can be accurately estimated in one go is definitely bragging, and it is still the kind that does not draft.
After thinking for a while, Lu Jia made a serious suggestion.
"If there is no other way, then let's just use them all. There are two of each of us, so there are six in total. If they detonate at the same time, I think the power should be enough."
As he spoke, he reached for his waist and picked out two dark green 'tea eggs'.
"OK."
Lu Ding did not hesitate, took the grenade handed over by Lu Jia and began to operate it.
First, place the grenades one by one in a good position, and then pass the rope through their safety rings, so that they can be pulled apart at the same time to ensure that they explode together.
Lu Ding's movements were very swift. In less than a minute, he had already set up the explosion trap.
He was seen holding the blasting fuse in one hand, and the other hand was full of small mushrooms that had just been picked from the wall, luring the hard-scaled slugs to move towards him.
Sure enough, not long after the temptation, the hard-scaled slug changed its direction and began to slowly crawl towards Lu Ding's position.
The six thick and long handle eyes kept expanding and contracting, staring closely at the mushroom in Lu Ding's hand.
The abdomen and legs quickly covered the grenades on the ground. Lu Ding estimated that the time was right, so he pulled off the rope, threw the mushroom in his hand, and lay down on the fungus carpet.
A few seconds later, there was only a muffled sound, and the hard-scaled slug suddenly trembled, and its huge body suddenly succumbed.
The smelly light yellow mucus gushes out from the gap between the abdomen and legs, announcing the success of Lu Ding's plan.
"pretty!"
Lu Jia couldn't help but praise. Lu Ding's operation was indeed as reliable as ever.
After confirming that the hard-scaled slug was indeed dead, Lu Ding began to take off his coat, leaving only a single coat, a knife, and a small walkie-talkie.
Nodding towards the armor, he first took a deep breath, and then lowered his head like a worm, burrowing into the gap between the abdomen and feet of the hard-scale slug.
Lubricated by the mucus, Lu Ding's body quickly disappeared from Lu Jia's sight.
Lu Jia turned on the intercom in his hand and nodded towards Lu Yi in the distance.
Not long after, Lu Ding's brief and vague reply came from inside.
"twin."
"Depend on!"
Hearing this answer, Lu Jia and Lu Yi cursed at the same time. The situation was exactly as they guessed. The fungus community in the underground parking lot had two bacterial brains.
Seeing Lu Ding emerge from under his belly and feet, Lu Jia finally turned his attention back to the columnar object behind him with confidence.
The feeding system is complete, but there is no trace of another bacterial brain. What should I do?
The current situation is just short of finishing. We only need to find another bacterial brain, and the plan can be implemented perfectly.
Just when Lu Jia was thinking hard and had no clue, Lu Yi, who was squatting next to the columnar object, suddenly picked up from the ground excitedly, and as if he had found some clue, he rushed towards Lu Jia and asked.
"Boss, ask Lu Ding if hard-scaled slugs are social creatures."
"Social creature?"
Lu Jia turned around and saw Lu Ding, who was covered in mucus, nodded.
"Yes, what's wrong? Did you find anything?"
Seeing that the other party confirmed his inquiry, Lu Yi's face became even more excited.
"I thought about it. If hard-scaled slugs are social creatures, then there should be more than one in the basement of this community. The other bacterial brain is missing. Maybe there is another hybrid hard-scaled slug underground!"
As soon as these words came out, Lu Jia and Lu Ding both raised their eyebrows.
That’s right, why didn’t they think of that!
"In other words, there is most likely another hard-scaled slug in the underground parking lot. As long as it is found and killed, the twin bacterial brains can be destroyed at the same time."
"That's right! How about it, boss, am I a genius?" Lu Yi had a proud smile on his lips, and the expression on his face had only one meaning, and that was 'Come and praise me'.
"It's rare." Lu Ding commented promptly.
But before the three of them could be happy, a new problem arose.
If another hard-scaled slug were as big as this one, they wouldn't have any spare frag grenades to use.
Aren't we still in a hurry?
After thinking for a long time, Lu Jia made a decision.
"Look for it first, and then think of a solution after you find it..."
