The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1198

Hank had a knack for artificial intelligence systems, so he wasn't exactly a stranger to artificial life systems, even if they weren't his specialty.

He watched for a moment, his laid-back expression shifting to one of surprise. The way they were importing genetic data, this approach to synthetic computation and modeling—no one had ever tried it before. Hank glanced at Mirabella, thinking there was something intriguing about her.

About ten minutes later, in the center of the lab, a holographic display hooked up to a computer revealed a virtual brain simulation, gently pulsating. Alongside the pulsating brain, lines of code danced on either side before forming the words 'AL System.'

As Zane looked at these words on the holographic display, he felt an unexpected emotion welling up, like the dawn breaking with a promise of hope. Their bioinformatics department had been stuck in a rut for almost a decade, facing indifference and hurdles. The initial strides in this artificial life system hinted at the end of that silence.

Even though they had just scratched the surface of the artificial life system, it was enough to catch the industry's eye. Zane took a deep breath, turned to Hank, and said, "This is the framework for our first phase of the system. You can now connect it to a simulation intelligence drive and give it a whirl."

Hank's eyes had been glued to the holographic screen. It took him a second to snap back to reality, swallow his shock, and quickly say, "Alright, could you please step out of the lab for a bit?"

Without further explanation, he called over an assistant to escort Zane and the others to the lounge to wait. Zane, not wanting to press the issue, led his students out.

Mirabella walked slowly at the back, taking a last look at Hank, busy with the tests, her face unreadable. She then noticed a document on a nearby table, paused, picked it up, and walked out. After she left, the lab door automatically shut behind her.

"It's likely because this project at the Tech Institute is confidential, so they asked us to clear out," Zane explained. It was standard for unreleased research to have confidentiality protocols, sometimes even requiring non-disclosure agreements. Zane wasn't surprised by the Tech Institute's approach.

Kason adjusted his glasses and sighed, "Well, alright."

"Let’s just hang tight," Zane said, offering a reassuring smile to everyone.

Meanwhile, Calvin had been chatting with Dr. King from the International Affairs office. Catching Zane's eye, he offered some friendly advice, "Hank mentioned your plan wasn't detailed enough. Maybe use this downtime to dig deeper into that."
