Genetic Ascension

Chapter 164 Try

[1850 GTs bonus]

"I've done a bunch of tests on this system already. Just in the first day I realized that you could share information you were seeing with someone else…"

Sylas nodded, that was true. He had been able to share his screen with Cassarae. As for the mechanism? He had no idea. He was only able to do it after she showed him hers first; it was only then he knew that that was even possible.

"…I was able to see my husband's and my youngest's, but I didn't really understand how the data transfer was working. All things considered, it seemed like the system was projecting right from my brain, so I thought, 'why limit it?'

"I tried transferring the data onto my laptop with my… intention, or will, I guess, and it worked just the same way.

"If I'm correct, you don't need to waste your time typing, just will it and it will probably happen.

"As for whether the supercomputer can actually analyze it or not, that's a different matter entirely."

Sylas' gaze flickered. This was, indeed, a game changer. He suddenly felt that he made the right decision speaking to her about this. In fact, the professor looked even more excited to try than he did.

All this time, she had only been able to test out the simple stat screen, but she had nothing else. After the first few minutes, it was already boring.

But this…

"Come on, hurry up. Let's try it."

Professor Fembroise rushed Sylas to the computer, but suddenly remembering something, she rushed out and locked the outside door before coming back into the office once again.

The door had only been kept open out of convenience, but it seemed that she couldn't take anything for granted in this world. Caution had to be the name of the game from now on.

She logged onto her computer and into the terminal.

Sylas just sat back and let her work, but it didn't take more than a few seconds for her to point.

"Let's start with something simple. I have no way of knowing if the amount of data in the genome could overload the computer or not, so we'll try for the most low-stakes option."

On the screen, there was an open notepad app. Though his expression didn't change, Sylas felt that this matter was a bit amusing. What if he had gone through all this trouble just for the Gene Sequence to be something even a normal computer could analyze?

It seemed there was only one way to find out.

He did as the professor said and tapped into [One Kind For Me] before willing the Gene Sequence to paste itself into the notepad app.

This time, it wasn't just the professor who lit up, but Sylas as well. He was a bit skeptical at first, but the moment he did so, a long string of letters began to appear one after another, but the app soon crashed.

"Don't worry, don't worry," the professor waved a hand. "The default notepad barely allows a few dozen megabytes at a time, I expected this to happen.

"The normal strand of DNA has what? A couple billion 'letters?' Let's say the average 'word' is 5 letters long, that's still 2 to 600 million words. Even a word doc would crash beneath that weight, let alone a notepad.

"What's more interesting to me is how the system is so clever. You noticed how it immediately changed the format of the Gene Sequence into something that could be easily recognized on the notepad app?"

Sylas nodded. He had noticed this as well.

The Gene Sequence he saw in his mind was a three-

dimensional image of what was a real double helix. In fact, that didn't quite do the complexity of it justice.

Not only was it a double helix, but he could zoom in and actually see down to the very atoms of the molecules and see how they interacted with one another. This was the main reason he had suddenly felt so overloaded.

And yet, when he willed it into the notepad, it just became a normal text file of A, G, C, and T.

These four letters were, of course, the four building blocks of all DNA strands, universal across the living organisms of Earth. Every complex function the body underwent was encoded by these four strands in some way.

"In that case…" Sylas spoke before the professor could go on another spiel, pulling out a USB from his pocket.

"What's this?"

"This is from my university. It has the program that I've used to analyze DNA."

"So you are familiar with using computers?" Professor Fembroise asked in such honest surprise that Sylas wasn't even quite sure how to respond for a small while.

"… I do know, I just didn't have the luxury to explore the system as well as you have."

Professor Fembroise smiled a bit cheekily. "Don't be so defensive."

Sylas wanted to say that he wasn't being defensive, and that he was just stating things as they were like he usually did. But he knew enough to know that that would probably only make him look worse.

"I don't believe that you usually use supercomputers to analyze DNA, right? Normal computers should be enough."

"Yes, normally we just use normal computers. The reason I went so far is that, one, I was barely able to get this software off of my work laptop remotely after the Trial ended. I don't have much information about what's going on with technology, but I know that the more time passes, the stronger the original technology will need to be to still complete the same tasks.

"And two, it's because I'm fairly certain that this isn't a normal DNA sequence. This creature had some… deep lore that's difficult to ignore, and it's unlikely a normal computer will be able to handle it, especially under these circumstances."

Professor Fembroise nodded, no longer teasing Sylas. He had overlooked something simple, but it wasn't because he was stupid.

She took the USB and uploaded it onto the terminal.
