3 Prologue: Education 3/5 (2/2)
His estimates were completely shattered as the decoration piece was sold for $1500, his estimates being $25 to $100. The total cost of the build itself was $25. The one who bought it at such an enormous price was a collector. One with an awful lot of money, enough to bid $1500 for simple yet satisfying to look at decoration piece.
From thereon, he used his money for buying e-books and nano and micro-mechanical parts for more creations, in the case of finding more informational sources after using up his money.
By the age of 15, he had saved up over half a million dollars, with one of his creations being sold for $300,000, an ordinary-looking gun. This gun actually contained a nuclear battery that was then separated without blowing and bonded with the bullet loaded. When the bullet faced an impact, it would emit radiation able to kill a target with even a chip that pierced the skin.
It was bought by a Russian mafia located in the UK. The country somehow had seemed to stay stable economically after many rebellions from those suffering from the recent war
With that amount of money, he had invested in a large transportable home that acted as both his lab and home. It wasn't a big place, only the size of two or three hotel rooms combining the upper story.
That was the start of his journey to gain emotions, still possess the speed of processing and comprehension he did then, and still have the store of knowledge accessible which he had now due to the amount of information his brain could store.
The fact that he still had primal instincts also gave a broad yet invisible pathway for his thirst of knowledge.
The humanitarian dilemmas that applied to other scientists such as cruelty of human experimentation, extreme psychological experiments such as the legendary Stanford prison experiment, known even centuries later, did not 'apply' to the mind of Nero Van Quille.
What did apply was the instinct of copulation. In fact, it had greatly affected his early days of earning money from creating. He understood that instincts from his genes still play a role in his 'mindset'.
Thinking of a solution as always, he started drawing images that had somehow awakened this instinct, most being those of woman's body, one that had an emphasis on the curves. From there, he visualized the drawing as a 3d model and printed it.
In his pubescent years, he had already revamped the model countless times, after which he realized he had modeled a complete human body perfectly, at least the structure of one, but nonetheless flawlessly.
At this point, he had the idea to recreate a body, cell by cell, gene by gene, and somehow move the consciousness into the newly generated body.
He focused all his attention towards achieving this goal, starting off with turning the human perception into data, then stored memory, then finally making the body in-sync with the transferred consciousness. This way, he kept his brain completely the same and refresh his cells, essentially breaking the conclusion humans came to in the end.....
Immortality.
