People are in Star Iron, and the game begins with the unsheathing of Heavenly Fire.

You were probably stood up.

"This……"

This was the first time Ron had truly accepted the system's criticism.

I might really have been stood up.

After all, he knew the Black Tower lady's personality; she would only talk to things that interested her. Ron's current identity was just a veterinarian, and given the Black Tower lady's habits, he probably wouldn't be able to wait for her even if he waited here for three days and three nights.

Left with no other choice, Ron had to find something to do in the office.

Even if we don't encounter the Black Tower this time, we still need to get something out of it.

So he quickly set his sights on a special room inside the Black Tower's offices, a place that seemed to hide many secrets.

Ron tried to open it, but he quickly discovered that the Black Tower Office's database was strictly encrypted, making it even more difficult to decipher than the Star Core Hunter's settings.

It is highly unlikely that it can be deciphered in a short period of time.

Fortunately, Ron is not in a hurry to decipher it. He has plenty of time to crack the system before Lady Black Tower returns.

So he activated the external interface of Prometheus inside his body and used the supercomputing power of the quantum computer to crack the door.

About two hours later.

He successfully opened the door to the office and found only a large number of messy manuscripts and a doll that looked exactly like the Black Tower.

"The Black Tower's puppets? That's all?"

Unable to understand why Black Tower would place a doll in his room, Ron, out of boredom, decided to try to analyze the doll's structure.

He didn't care at all what kind of reaction Ms. Black Tower would have when she found out.

After all, Black Tower stood him up first, so he has no reason to be in the wrong. On the contrary, Black Tower should apologize to him.

After observing the doll's structure, Ron found that the doll was very well made. Except for some parts that were not installed, most of the organs were very close to the human body.

However, some of the doll's functions seemed to be damaged. After observing it, Ron discovered that the doll's remote sensing function and emotion module were damaged.

However, this damage does not seem to be external, but rather more like a problem with the compatibility of the doll's functions.

In the simplest terms, the doll's emotion module is incompatible with the remote sensing function, resulting in functional damage and inability to function.

Ordinary people, even the Black Tower himself, might not be able to handle this problem, because it stems from a fundamental flaw in the creation of the doll.

However, as a top researcher in the field of genetic research and a surgeon with top-notch surgical skills, Ron happens to be able to fix all of this at the genomic level.

This technology was designed by him when he and Dr. Mei created Prometheus.

When Prometheus was first created, there were compatibility issues between the emotion module and the core computing processor. He and Mei pondered this for a long time, working on the blueprints for several months, and finally found a way to solve the problem, successfully creating Prometheus, a miracle that should not have been born with Earth's technology.

Now, facing the exact same problem as back then, Ron was all too familiar with it and quickly began to use Prometheus's external interface to debug the Black Tower doll's emotion module.

Under his manipulation, the doll, which was originally unable to function due to functional compatibility issues, gradually began to recover its original posture and slowly opened its eyes.

……

The highest laboratory.

The Black Tower spent several hours thoroughly analyzing all the data Ron left behind, but found nothing of any practical significance, only a large amount of redundant and irrelevant data.

"Tsk, as expected, nothing was left behind, no clues can be found..."

Left with no other choice, Black Tower had to give up.

Although she considers herself a genius among geniuses, unfortunately, she is not able to solve problems smoothly in every field.

For example, she once tried to create an intelligent doll with its own emotions that could be remotely connected to her, to manage all the Black Tower dolls in her place.

This can bring you a lot of convenience, as you don't have to deal with all sorts of messy information one by one.

Unfortunately, due to various contradictions between the emotion module and the field of genetics, coupled with compatibility issues between long-range remote sensing and the emotion module...

Unable to resolve the core contradiction of the doll, the Black Tower eventually had to abandon its research and discard it in its collection room.

Now, seeing this complex genomics technology in front of him, Black Tower couldn't help but fantasize about whether he could completely recreate the doll he failed to make back then if he could master this technology.

Unfortunately, she couldn't find any clues about the mysterious person and had no opportunity to have technical exchanges with them.

Just as she was feeling regretful, the data processing department sent her a message saying that the data in the office was experiencing unprecedented and strange fluctuations, and the data stream was behaving extremely abnormally.

The Black Tower scoffed at this.

Her office, being the most secure location on the entire space station, should normally be impossible for anyone to crack from the outside.

Even if a top-tier hacker were to appear, it would take several days to decrypt the code.

Therefore, Black Tower ignored the warnings from the data processing department.

Just then, she suddenly saw a message from Esther, reminding her to meet with the veterinarian...

Although Black Tower was very reluctant, considering that the mysterious person in the laboratory could not be found and there was nothing else to do, going to the office to see the veterinarian was not a bad idea.

As long as the other party doesn't leave out of impatience...

"Another boring day, nothing interesting happening?"

Muttering to himself, Black Tower took a step and slowly walked towards the office.

Chapter Thirty-Six: I'll Call You Black Tower Sister

"The emotion module is set up."

"Although long-range remote sensing has not yet been launched, compatibility issues should have been resolved."

"However, this simulated genome is still very crude. In such a short time, I haven't been able to create a better gene chain... The Black Tower's gene technology doesn't seem to be very good. So how did she manage to rejuvenate herself?"

"..."

Looking at the black tower puppet in front of him, Ron couldn't help but mutter to himself about his confusion.

Just now, he had completely dismantled the doll hidden in the secret room of the Black Tower.

It not only solved its core compatibility issues and fixed almost all the broken components, but also gave it brand new functionality.

Although the doll looks exactly the same as when he first took it out, its essence is almost completely new.

While ordinary people might not be able to do this, Ron is no ordinary person.

As a genius researcher in the field of genetics, plus a professional doctor, Ron is practically a walking gene-editing machine.

[Gene Technology A] allows him to quickly analyze almost all gene chains, dissecting the essence and foundation of material life.

[Surgical Proficiency B] allows him to perform almost all high-difficulty surgeries with his bare hands. Even brain transplant surgery can be easily accomplished with the right tools.

Because of these two skills, he was able to repair a doll with a problematic gene sequence and compatibility issues with the emotion module and remote sensing.

The only problem was that Ron discovered during the repair process that the Black Tower Doll's genetic code was very crudely made and was far from being a true artificial life form.

Simply put, although this doll is identical to a real human in both appearance and structure, it cannot give birth to a true soul because it lacks the most core genome.

Genes are the language God used when He created life.

While this statement may be somewhat exaggerated and theological, it does effectively describe the relationship between genes and biological creation.

This is also why most mechanical creations lack a soul.

No matter how realistic a mechanical creation is, or how closely it resembles a real life form, it cannot be considered a real life form unless it has created a unique genome!

Although the Black Tower used some genetic programming language when creating this doll, it is still a long way from creating real life.

This made Ron wonder if the other party's genetic technology was really as advanced as he had imagined.

After all, if the other party could reverse the genome and rejuvenate, creating a completely realistic doll should be a piece of cake.

Unless the technology used by the Black Tower to rejuvenate was not gene reversal technology, but some other method... such as Otto in the Honkai world, who achieved human modification at the cellular level by deconstructing the power of the Herrscher of Death.

However, this kind of thing is obviously far from gene reversal, and it can hardly be called true rejuvenation. The difference between the two technologies is like the difference between the Milky Way and a grain of sand, or even greater!

At the very least, Ron, as the one who once created Prometheus, an artificial life form, has come incredibly close to the realm of creation in his research on genes.

That's why he easily modified the black tower puppet, even giving it a unique soul!

"Wake up, wake up... Huh? Why aren't you awake yet? I should have already entered the startup program, right?"

Ron looked at the Black Tower doll, whose eyes were still closed, and couldn't help but feel confused.

He then suddenly realized that although he had entered the genome, he had not yet entered the basic personality data for this Black Tower doll.

Although carbon-based life forms only need to grow slowly to develop independent personalities and thoughts, these artificially created life forms still need to have their personality data recorded in advance.

It's equivalent to installing software on hardware.

"Hmm... I'll stick to the normal personality design. I prefer someone a bit simple-minded, not too smart... and obedient, preferably someone who agrees with what I say, and can keep me company when I'm bored... It would be even better if we could share some hobbies..."

Unbeknownst to him, Ron forgot his original intention in repairing the doll and began to design its personality entirely according to his own preferences.

Since things have already turned out this way, he can do whatever he wants with them.

If you're so capable, let the Black Tower come and bite me.

And so, Ron gradually designed all the personality attributes of the doll, only to realize that he had forgotten the most important one—the doll's name.

"Hmm, as for names... she's called Misaka Sister, how about you call her Black Tower Sister?"

Ron instinctively recalled a world he had once traveled to called "A Certain Magical Index".

In that world, he once met a girl named Misaka Mikoto. She was a level 5 lightning esper who was tricked into having her genetic blueprint used to treat muscle atrophy when she was a child. In reality, it was to conduct experiments on 'mass-produced espers' and create a large number of clones.

Each clone has a unique number and a common name—'Misaka Sisters'.

Later, the 'mass-produced superhumans' even gave rise to an even more extreme experimental plan, the 'absolute ability evolution experiment,' which forced Ron, who had traveled back in time, to get involved. While further enhancing medical skills and genetic modification technology, he also destroyed the entire plan.

Of course, all of that happened in the past.

"Drip-drip-"

Ron quickly entered all the personality data and information into it, and named the doll 'Black Tower Sister'.

Soon, the girl slowly opened her eyes, her clear, water-like eyes looking at him, revealing a complex and passionate emotion.

……

Black Tower returned to his office from the highest laboratory.
