Interstellar Mecha Life

Chapter 85

"Just right, I'll see you off." Xing Wen and Su Weishen walked side by side.

His shuttle is small in size and looks a bit like the one for personal use, but the inside is quite different.

Xing Wen handed a cup of light brown liquid to Su Weishen, who shook it in his hand but didn't drink it.

"You know, when we were young, soldiers fought wars." Su Weishen said emotionally: "Driving a shuttle, a starship, or a mech, shuttles through the universe. From one place to another Place. Take orders from officers with a higher rank than you, and fight for friends, family, and honor."

Xing Wen picked up the transparent cup and drank casually: "This kind of thing has never happened, you know. At least, it has never happened to us children of aristocratic families. For us, everything is important. Not simple."

Su Weishen put down his wine glass, turned his head and asked, "You came to explain to me."

"Of course." Xing Wen gathered his expensive shirt, "You can also see that this organization itself is not very formal. Hong Fei, plus people from the four great families, are basically the most contemporary members of each family. Outstanding talent. After your father left, you are the best successor. However, due to various reasons, the Su family temporarily left the project. But now, we think it is time to bring you back. After all, this is not a family Or a matter of a few families, but about the humans of the Small Magellanic Cloud.”

"But in fact, it is co-hosted by the four major families." Su Wei said deeply, "I never thought that the four major families meant human society. And Hong Fei, what is his identity?"

"Military scientist? Project host? Call it whatever you want." Xing Wendao, "Do you still remember the disaster in the amusement park 11 years ago?"

"Of course, the pain of the stars."

"Yes, Su Yu was also adopted by the Su family after that disaster."

"Do you still remember what caused the disaster?" Xing Wen didn't wait for Su Weishen to answer, "The spaceship? In fact, Su Yu was not in the amusement park at the time, but on the spaceship. So were his parents, the Jacksons. They're part of a century-long program in the military. One of the lead scientists on the project."

"It was an experimental shuttle, with thousands of staff including the Jacksons, and hundreds of children including Su Yu."

"You use children for experiments?" Su Wei frowned deeply.

Xing Wen ignored him and continued: "Including orphans, replicants, artificially cultivated life, etc..."

"But they're still children, and it's against the Genetic Act to do that."

Xing Wen did not deny: "We have reasons to do this. Moreover, you know the fundamental reason why the Genetic Act was passed. It was not to protect human beings, the declining ethics and the nearly collapsed social system at that time. It's about protecting the technology of the Gene Act."

Su Weishen and the others are still too young to really experience this historical event.But in the accounts that can be seen everywhere in the book, angry ordinary people rose up because of the huge progress of genetic engineering and human cloning, causing great chaos.

Duplicants began to appear in human society, just like toddling children, the entire group is constantly maturing, growing up, and striving for their own interests.

The conflict between ordinary humans and genetic humans is deepening day by day.

The movement that almost subverted human society itself had human instigation factors in it, but it also reflected the profound and irreconcilable nature of such conflicts and contradictions from one aspect.Almost all replicants and genetically engineered scientists and doctors have been massacred by mobs, like ethnic cleansing.

The human government and military, which was still in the Milky Way era at that time, did not respond adequately to this.So that later, genetically modified people, people related to genetic engineering... the scope became larger, and the situation became more and more uncontrollable.

It wasn't until the promulgation of the Genetic Act, which completely restricted genetic engineering to the medical field, that the situation was gradually brought under control.Replicants gradually disappeared from the history of human society.Thousands of years have passed, and people still keep this topic secret and don't talk about it easily.No one wants to touch this boundary.

"So now that you have more difficult problems, you just tore open the hole of genetic engineering?" Su Wei said deeply. "Who is Su Yu?"

"He is the child of the Jacksons, fertilized normally and delivered."

Su Wei nodded deeply and remained silent.

"Wei Shen, this is a very long project, so long that even our grandfathers may not know the origin. But as far as I know, this is the future and opportunity of our human beings. If I were a decision maker, I would also I think that for such a project, it is worth violating all the regulations." Xing Wen paused, then said again: "Have you noticed that our human beings' progress and progress in various fields are getting slower and slower? ?”

"Yes, the average IQ of human beings has declined." Su Wei said deeply, "It's a cliché, and relevant news reports are everywhere."

"That is true."

"what?"

"The average IQ of human beings is indeed declining."

"So what." Su Wei said in a deep voice, "I don't think this is a problem for you and me. You and my children are as smart as our grandparents."

"Yes, but that's because our aristocratic family has extremely strict requirements on the selection of marriage partners." Xing Wendao, "If you want to see statistics, I can show you. But you must know that the situation of our family does not apply to the entire human society. "

"The Small Magellanic Cloud still has an extremely large number of universities, research institutes, etc., and the number of annual enrollment has not declined."

"Yes, but this doesn't explain anything, because the difficulty of the questions and the admission score are changing. Wei Shen, do you know how many years it took for humans to get out of the solar system? How many years did it take for humans to get out of the galaxy? Do you know that we are trapped in the three-star system? How long is the time?"

"So this project is to improve human IQ?" Su Wei said deeply, "Why bother so much, we just need to encourage people with high IQs to have more children."

Xing Wen pursed his lips and said in a joking tone: "Just like what we have been doing for thousands of years, you have seen the result."

Once it comes to the topic of human society, everything becomes no longer simple and controllable.

"What is that. Mutagen?"

"As I said, no one knows its origin." Xing Wen finally said, "About 300 years ago, a scientist of the Arud race discovered this thing and used it to fuse with various intelligent races. For each race, it has different effects. For example, for Arud, it can make the mutagenized individuals have a loyal and obedient emotion; for Kui, it can improve their IQ; There are also changes in shape, repair of genetic defects, etc. Of course, the results are not always good."

Xing Wen continued: "Later, Arud cooperated with humans to study this source of mutagenesis. On the one hand, we hope to control this mutagenesis, and on the other hand, the research on it will also help our human evolution. For example, if we could produce a Kui-like response to a mutagenic source, we could increase the IQ of humans.

"However, this project has encountered some problems. The role of mutagenic sources has a problem for most races, that is, the fusion success rate is higher in race larvae. But only for humans, even infants and The success rate of fusion of mutagenic sources is still very low. And there will be no mutagenic reaction. It took us more than 100 years and the wisdom of countless biologists and engineers to develop a product called intermediate It is a substance that is physically between organisms and machinery, can respond to mutagenic sources, and can further combine with other organisms."

"So your project was a success?"

"It didn't quite work out, but it went well."

"What happened to Xing Tianhe's team?"

Xing Wen tilted his head: "This is an experiment, and there are always some problems to be dealt with. Not all intermediates can be controlled. Some of them have gone wrong after fusion, and we need to destroy them manually."

"Okay, what about the Son of the Void?"

"Some people, such as Locke, believe that in the spaceship that fell in the pain of the stars, there was a child who successfully fused the intermediate..."

"One?" Su Weishen suddenly laughed, "Hundreds of years, you said this project is very successful and smooth, but so far there is only one successful integration?"

Xing Wen ignored the sarcasm in his words and continued: "This is a huge and difficult project, you will know it when you get in touch with it. We have gathered top people in all fields of human society. And, in fact, I Do not believe in the existence of the children of the void."

"What do you mean?"

"That is to say, Locke and the others believe that the project had a successful fusion case and disappeared in the spaceship crash. But I don't think the Void Son exists. As far as I know, there has never been such a project in the official records of the project The child was successfully integrated. Locke, he fell into some kind of paranoia."

"But you let Xing Tianhe take charge of this project."

"If someone has to be responsible for the investigation, I would rather use someone I know well. Besides, Xing Tianhe is only participating, and there are other people who are also searching for the Son of the Void."

"How to find it?"

"Monitor all the children after the accident." Xing Wendao: "It was too late when Locke proposed the existence of the children of the void. The incident expanded and all the children in the accident were registered. The children who walked off the spaceship were mixed with those in the amusement park. It's hard to tell the difference. Although Xing Tianhe blocked the spacecraft after arriving, it was still too late."

"So, Su Yu is also one of them." Su Weishen asked.

"Of course. But he was quickly ruled out."

"Oh? What are the characteristics of this child of the void?" Su Wei said deeply, "If the successful integration improves IQ, Su Yu should be given priority, right?"

When Xing Wen heard what he said, his movements froze suddenly, and he said after a while, "He's not as smart as you think."

The shuttle began to descend at this point.Su Wei looked deeply at the familiar scenery outside the window, and slowly sat up straight.

"Xing Wen, the only reason why the Su family will come back to this matter is that I have become interested in this matter." Su Wei said deeply, "If I don't get an answer from you, I will have other ways, Such a result is definitely not what you, the Nanafei family, or other families would like to see. Don’t think I will believe your ridiculous statement about improving human IQ. If you have to say, use mutagenic sources and intermediates to control humans And other creatures are more in line with common sense."

After finishing speaking, Su Weishen opened the door and got off the shuttle that had stopped.

Xing Wen sat there motionless, and said slowly, "Interested? Hah."

"Why, you don't believe me?" Angel sat at the long dinner table, talking loudly, "The four major families: Xing, Su, Nanafei, and Dylan. People in such families, Their love affairs, study life, and even making friends are beyond their control. They have no so-called personal interests, likes and dislikes, and everything is for the benefit of the family. Think about Ke Nanafei, what do you think Is she making so much hype for herself? I bet it was her family's plan. Probably before she was born, everything was settled. Maybe even her birth was part of the plan."

It was a nice relaxing dinner for the DREAM team before the game.Although Kelongrui University is not as rich and powerful as Mecha Academy, it is also a private university founded by the famous local family of Soksas, the Kelongrui family. The various buildings and layouts are full of the founder's personal style and hobbies.

For example, their canteen is like an ancient church.

There is no reason for Qi Yue and others not to come here to enjoy it, even if it is not for the food, it is also for the rare atmosphere here.

Lulu stuffed a piece of sauced meat into Angel's mouth, blocking his eloquent speech: "Eat, I'll just listen to what you have to say."

Seeing this, the other team members smiled and did not speak.They all know how much the captain of their team loves gossip and discussions.

It's just that some people, including Qi Yue, quietly looked at Su Yu who came with the team.Almost everyone in the school knew that Su Yu was a disciple of the younger generation of the four major families.

Su Yu didn't respond, but ate quietly and gracefully.

After dinner, Su Yu returned to his room. Just before entering the door, he stopped: "If you want to ask about that matter, I can assure you that it has nothing to do with the Su family."

He turned around, looked at Qi Yue who was following behind him, and said calmly.

Qi Yue looked at him for a while and said, "No, I just want to tell you that I have received an invitation."
