Chapter 107 Garage Main Entrance
"The genetic hybridization of humans and animals..."

Chi Heng suddenly remembered the news from the New York Times that he had read before. It is said that two years ago in Shanghai, the first successful case of human-animal hybridization was achieved, and human cells were injected into rabbit eggs, making half-rabbit, half-human embryonic development.

Prior to this, the United States had conducted similar experiments many times but failed. The success of the Shanghai team represented the first successful completion of human-animal hybridization experiments. Most of the DNA contained in the life of eggs grown in rabbits It is human, and the proportion of rabbit DNA is very small, so it is not so much rabbit as human.

Of course, the embryo is not allowed to continue the experiment after a few days of development, which obviously violates human ethics.

Human-animal gene hybrid creatures as big as Chi Heng's eyes, on the earth, not to mention whether the technology can be achieved, or the ethics can't pass.

Chi Heng pinched his chin, "The future humans in the parallel world... actually carried out the hybrid experiment of human and animal genes here? This is against ethics."

He looked at the "hedgehog and leopard" imprisoned in the glass box after the CT scan with some pity, and he understood why it had a human face but animal features.

In the final analysis, this is the evil result of human beings!
"Sir, what should we do with it?"

"Battered copper and rotten iron" is not as sentimental as Chi Heng.

"Deal with it? How can I deal with it? I can't kill it."

Human empathy comes from the gene's instinct to take care of the weak of the same race, and it is also a boost to the formation of human society. Without empathy, human beings will not unite to build a society.

Chi Heng is in a normal state of mind and body, and naturally has the corresponding empathy. It is indeed a bit embarrassing for him to kill this experimental creature with a child's face. If it was the "hedgehog leopard" sneak attack earlier, he reacted and shot it dead , I don't feel guilty at all.

"But it won't do to let it stay here."

Chi Heng frowned, and found that how to deal with it was still questionable. After all, this "hedgehog and leopard" was still threatening, and it was impossible to release it, otherwise his life would be threatened. It would be better to continue injecting tranquilizers and let it be euthanized.

"I'm a little curious about..."

Chi Heng thought of another question: "It is by no means as young as it looks, at least it has lived here for more than 20 years, maybe it is older than me."

"Could it be possible to survive until now on fluidized food alone?"

Chi Heng thought deeply: "For more than 20 years, it is difficult for ordinary cats to live for such a long time. If it is a human being, it still looks like a cub. This hybrid genetic technology is really amazing."

"Let's keep it for now, maybe we can dig out some useful clues from it."

"Well, Junk, improve this glass box and build four wheels and armrests to make it easier to operate... By the way, the bottom should be easy to open so that its excrement can be disposed of."

Chi Heng didn't really treat this "hedgehog and leopard" as a human being because most of its genes are human, and endow it with human rights. The United States pays attention to human rights, but so many people die for no reason every year, and they don't even look at the police. Get to the bottom of it, or give the dead a dignity, just listen to human rights and so on.

After a lot of work, it was past 13 o'clock in the afternoon. Chi Heng took out some dry food and ate some dog food for the "old man". There is no way to charge in many places, but because the devices here basically use the magnetic wireless charging interface, there is no charging port in the conventional sense at all.

"Battered copper and rotten iron" can only go back to the rest area to recharge.

That’s right, Chi Heng went back along the way. At present, the core area has not found the diamond anvil he needs, but he can’t continue to delay here. The amount of food he carries can last for a week, but the water resources can only last. two days.

If he hadn't found filtered water in the rest area, Chi Heng would have to go back the same way today.

This is the case, he also has a lot of things to be busy, and he puts the exploration of the core area in the second place.

"Junk, if we want to return to the rover... there are two ways, the first is to return the same way, and the second is to climb up from the bottomless pit."

Both methods have disadvantages.

Going back the same way is not going downstairs, but going upstairs for more than 1000 meters...

Climbing up from the bottomless pit, on the one hand, he was worried about being attacked by the humanoid monster again. On the other hand, after climbing up, he had to walk more than 22 kilometers to reach the side of the rover.

Either way, carrying a heavy glass case is undoubtedly ten times more troublesome.

"Sir, there may be another way."

"Battered copper and rotten iron" gave advice in a timely manner.

"You mean the main door leading from the garage?"

Chi Heng guessed before that the forward tunnel in the garage should be the arc-shaped gate leading to the outside of the canyon.

This was naturally the most convenient way, but he had to consider that before this, he had tried everything he could to get in through the arc-shaped gate, so it might not be possible to go out.

"That may not be able to open... Anyway, let's try."

Chi Heng pondered for a while, no matter what, the result can only be known after verification.

Without further ado, when the "battery copper" was fully charged, Chi Heng and his team set off immediately. This time, because they had to bring a "prisoner", their movements were much slower, and it took a lot of effort to reach the garage.

Chi Heng walked along the tunnel directly facing the garage, walked through the curved two-lane tunnel for hundreds of meters, and saw a curved gate in front of him.

"It's really here..."

Chi Heng sighed, if he hadn't had the experience of "Moros Gate", he would have no idea why this base was connected to a bottomless pit 22 kilometers away.

I don't know how the arc-shaped gate came in from the outside, but there may be another way to get out, but there is also an emergency switch in front of him, which is a mechanical hand wheel turntable, which can activate the heavy arc-steel lead gate in an emergency.

Chi Heng refused the help of "broken copper and rotten iron", and tried it. With his own efforts, he still turned the mechanical hand wheel, and the heavy steel-lead gate was slowly raised and lowered by the hydraulic device. Get up, revealing the light of the outside world.

The moment he opened the door, Chi Heng saw the rover parked in the distance.

"Great."

Chi Heng breathed a sigh of relief, but smiled wryly again: "But this way, the problem has not been completely solved."

You can open the steel lead door by turning the mechanical hand wheel when you go out, but what if you come in?
Or just leave it open?

Chi Heng didn't dare to take risks, what if the gate was opened and "UFOs" entered the base at night?
Thinking about it this way, how to close the door after going out is also troublesome.

Chi Heng shared his concerns with "Battered Iron", and it said simply: "Sir, go out first, and Junk will return the same way after closing the gate."

Chi Heng was taken aback for a moment, then nodded slowly. He didn't want to climb the thousand-meter stairs, so it was no problem for the robot to be "broken copper and iron".
