"What is this?" Looking at the scene in front of him, Wu Xiaoqing asked softly.

"What? What did you say?" In the main control room, both Shen Changwen and Yevgeny subconsciously asked.

Wu Xiaoqing didn't answer them because he didn't tell them.

Wu Xiaoqing turned off the radio, and the people in the main control room could only see Wu Xiaoqing's mouth moving from the camera controlled by a disciple behind Wu Xiaoqing.

The huge metal cube in front of them was still pitch black, and they couldn't see anything.

But there is no doubt that Wu Xiaoqing obviously saw it. Through his glasses, not only he saw it, but also the search and rescue team saw it.

What Wu Xiaoqing said was obviously asking the collection team.

They couldn't see the search and rescue team's answer, but the search and rescue team obviously answered-because Wu Xiaoqing continued to talk.

Wu Xiaoqing was indeed talking to the search and rescue team.

"What is this?" Wu Xiaoqing couldn't help repeating his question again, even though the search and rescue team had already answered Wu Xiaoqing once through the subtitles in the glasses.

"It looks like this should be a factory." For the same question, the search and rescue team's answer also changed, and he no longer explained - what Wu Xiaoqing's current mood needs is obviously not an explanation, but a conclusion.

Undoubtedly, what Wu Xiaoqing saw through the glasses was beyond his imagination.He was like an ancient man from the Middle Ages entering a modern factory for the first time—the same great shock they must have felt when they noticed the countless automatic machines.

"What factory?" Wu Xiaoqing muttered to himself, "A factory that makes people?"

"Clone the factory... You look a little emotional, does this scare you?"

"No." Wu Xiaoqing shook his head, picked up the phone directly with one hand, controlled the flying sword tied to his body, and let it bring him closer to the huge existence in front of him, hoping to see it more clearly—— Even the glasses themselves have a built-in magnification function.

Finally, when Wu Xiaoqing put his hand on the metal wall of the huge cube, he felt the temperature of the building itself.The temperature in Ascension Realm is balanced all year round, always between 20 degrees and 30 degrees, but Wu Xiaoqing's fingers feel a little warmth—just like a normal body temperature.

Shen Changwen and Yevgeny had discussed the rebirth mechanism many times before.

The concept of a clone factory is nothing new in the novels and movies on Earth.It can be said that almost at the same time that the rebirth mechanism became known to everyone, everyone thought of this possibility.

The only question is why no one has discovered this for over 1400 years.This is the most difficult to explain.

The invisible membrane material explains this problem very well. On the way here, Wu Xiaoqing has actually imagined countless possible scenes under this invisible position in his mind.

Wu Xiaoqing originally thought that these imaginations had already given him sufficient psychological preparation, no matter what kind of scene he would see, he would be able to deal with it calmly.But when he really saw this scene, Wu Xiaoqing was still beyond shock.

In the glasses, all the pictures are composed of countless simple lines, just like the illusory pictures drawn by a sketch artist based on his own imagination.

Wu Xiaoqing didn't know the imaging principle of the glasses, and the search and rescue team wouldn't explain it to him—because as long as it involved something beyond the scope of earth knowledge, it meant leaking secrets to Wu Xiaoqing and the others.This is the principle of the search and rescue team.

Although I don't know the reason, Wu Xiaoqing can still easily judge what the content of these pictures is from this simple picture-this is not difficult at all, as long as you are an individual, you can recognize it if you pick up Wu Xiaoqing's glasses .

In the cube, countless large and small bubbles are neatly arranged, like a world filled with many balloons.

At first glance, they look like a blown-up version of a cell diagram from a high-school biology textbook, with each soap bubble an individual cell.

However, now these cells are placed in front of Wu Xiaoqing, they are of different sizes, the big ones are as big as Wu Xiaoqing's whole body, and the small ones can't even be seen clearly.

But regardless of size, each of these bubbles has its own unique boundary, and where the boundaries of these spheres intersect, there is obviously a force between each other-every time they collide, they will exert a slight force on each other. deformation.

Of course, the more important content is not the bubbles themselves, but the things inside the bubbles—they are all human beings.

Men, women, adults, minors, children, babies, embryos, and even the smallest, fertilized eggs that can only be seen clearly through hundreds of times of magnification.

The shape of each person in the bubble is different, and they mix together irregularly, as if everyone is a finished amber specimen.

But if you look carefully enough, you can find that each of them is alive, their hearts are beating, their lungs are breathing, and some of them even have unconscious nerve actions, including stretching their legs, or stretching their waists Similar movements... with one exception, all of these people, eyes are not open.

In other words, these people should all be sleeping.If it is an embryonic state, they have not even reached the human delivery standard.

This area of ​​several kilometers is full of such bubbles - the search and rescue team made approximate statistics, and the numbers are quite amazing - just within their line of sight, the total number of bubbles exceeds more than 2000 million .

You know, the population of the entire Ascension Realm is only tens of millions.

2000 million people, densely squeezed into such a small area...all of them lost consciousness...

And everyone seems to be able to gain consciousness at any time.

Search and rescue teams have detected an anomaly in the images on several occasions - in the footage, people inside some bubbles would suddenly start disappearing.The picture when they disappeared was very strange—the people in the entire bubble were erased from the picture along a certain direction, as if covered by a straight line.

In fact, Wu Xiaoqing is no stranger to this disappearing pattern, and he has even seen it many times with his own eyes.

All members of the search and rescue team have seen this scene with their own eyes.

Every time they perform a mission, come to the mission world from the earth, or return to the earth from the mission world, the scene that others see is like this.

At the earliest, when saving those primitive people, a huge ship was transported from the earth, and the scene when the ship disappeared and appeared was also like this.

In other words, the level of the civilization that created the Ascension Realm was comparable to the civilization that the search and rescue team belonged to, at least in terms of teleportation technology.

All doubts have been explained. The so-called rebirth is actually very simple, that is, everyone's body has a backup.They are usually stored here - after being confirmed dead, their backup bodies will be sent out in this space, quietly appearing in an unknown place, out of everyone's sight.

This is as simple as just one sentence, which has confused and bound Ascension Realm for 1400 years.

……

Forty-two hours later, after the first batch of hundreds of bombs were sent to the Nine Major Factions, the rebel organizations, large and small, respectively agreed to Yan Xiu's peace proposal.

The Ascension Realm once again ushered in peace.

The Void Transformation Stone that maintains the normal operation of the Ascension Realm has been obtained in excess;

The senseless fight of the flying men came to an end.

At this point, the mission of the search and rescue team to come to this world has basically come to an end.

The other members of the search and rescue team have already returned to the earth, only Wu Xiaoqing and Yevgeny stayed behind and guarded the space station.

Most of the people who took refuge and recharged here were assigned to several islands with large building complexes in accordance with the evacuation rules.

The situation that originally needed to be continuously transported from the earth to maintain the battery has now been changed to use the storage of the nine schools.After all, for the search and rescue team, the less contact with the earth, the less possibility of leaks-of course, the less money it costs.

The bill for the mission of the entire Ascension Realm has basically come out. In the nearly five months, they spent more than [-] million yuan.

"Tens of millions of dollars can save a civilization, which is at least [-] times more efficient than the bullshit United Nations." Yevgeny said to Wu Xiaoqing, "This deal is a good deal."

"It's too early to talk about salvation." Wu Xiaoqing has just learned Russian, but he has already mastered simple conversations. "My plan is still...too much taken for granted."

"No... I really think your idea is quite feasible, at least milder than we imagined," Yevgeny said, "It didn't destroy the original ecological design of this planet... At first we all thought you were going to blow up Get rid of that evil cloning factory."

Evil cloning factory, this title was the first sentence Yevgeny blurted out after seeing the video transmitted by the search and rescue team.

Looking back now, the description of evil is not appropriate-but it is indeed the first instinctive reaction of everyone after seeing this scene.

On Earth, there are still huge ethical obstacles to cloning human beings. In the movies where this technology has appeared, all villains have done it without exception.

After all, the basic unit of human society is the family, and the family relationship is the cornerstone of the entire human moral building.And cloning... the ultra-dense "human body warehouse" like a factory like Ascension Realm is a devastating blow to this relationship.

Therefore, people in the Ascension Realm are all "cultivators", and everyone is an independent fairy - because everyone has no parents, no children...

"How long will it take for the spaceship to come back?" Yevgeny added a question, "I really miss the taste of flush toilets..."

Wu Xiaoqing smiled and said: "Professor, you can actually go back... If you like, you can also go to Hawaii and spend a good vacation in the hotel we knew at the beginning."

Yevgeny shook his head: "For a Russian who has given up drinking, Hawaii has lost its appeal. But here... there is something better than vodka. Antimatter spaceship... If I missed such a wonderful scene , even if I spend the rest of my life on vacation in Hawaii every day, I will never forgive myself."

"It will take 12 days for the spaceship to come back," Wu Xiaoqing said, "I can pick you up early then."

"No, I'll just wait here," Yevgeny said, "I don't just want to see the spaceship, but also the power tower..."

The power tower Yevgeny mentioned was just found by the search and rescue team today. The picture was sent in the morning, and both of them saw it.

With the previous cloning factory in front, the restoration of this power tower is no longer fresh - the same is a big island, the same is a confined space, and the same is covered by an invisible film. The only difference is that the things inside are slightly different. different.

The cloning factory is full of big and small bubbles, but the power tower that is recovering automatically has only a pile of materials like sand.

The search and rescue team only showed them the image data, and did not explain the specific principle.

Just judging from the progress of the picture, these silt-like things are obviously a combination of small intelligent creatures-like a large group of ants... and the flying flies they have seen before, in the There are huge similarities in design ideas.

In other words, the entire Ascension Realm may have been built by these robot insects themselves—they obviously possess some kind of intelligence to execute orders.

But the search and rescue team will not show them the specific construction process. Even if Wu Xiaoqing goes to the scene wearing glasses, the picture will be deliberately erased—according to the search and rescue team, this technology already belongs to the people of the earth. Sensitive technology that can be obtained.
