I have a space station

The cylinder was about 10 centimeters long and one centimeter thick.

Dongfang Chen took the cylinder, pinched both ends with his thumb and middle finger, raised his hand, and showed it to everyone.

"This is a revolutionary product, unique in the world. From this moment on, it is the top secret of our base. Under no circumstances do I want anyone to leak it out. I think some people have already guessed what it is? That's right, I once revealed to you that we have been secretly researching a gene agent that can help ordinary people evolve into mutants. Now, this agent has been successfully researched. The full name of this agent in my hand is: SpDV-1 type neurotrophic virus antigen serum injection, abbreviated as antigen serum. As the name suggests, once this antigen serum is injected, the human body will produce antibodies that can immunize against the SpDV-1 type neurotrophic virus. And! It will 100% cause mutation and become a mutant. But as for what kind of ability you will gain after the mutation, it cannot be determined. This is related to your own genes. Everyone's situation is different, and the abilities they obtain vary widely."

By now, everyone could no longer suppress their excitement.

Fifty pairs of fiery eyes were all staring intently at the hand Dongfang Chen held high.

"However, let me say the ugly things first. The RNA component in the gene agent will combine with the DNA in the cells. Strictly speaking, after injecting the agent, whether or not you still belong to the category of human beings, I cannot judge!"

Dongfang Chen said helplessly.

This can be considered a problem, but it's also not a problem.

In a greater sense, this problem belongs to the realm of philosophy and ethics.

If a person has undergone genetic modification, do they still belong to the human race?

If you say they don't belong, then in fact, during the evolutionary process, RNA is constantly adjusting the DNA sequence to adapt to new environments. It can be seen that nature is constantly modifying human genes every moment.

If you say they do belong, then from the moment your genes are modified, you have essentially become a different person. It's possible that you might grow an extra eye, ear, arm, or tail. At that time, would you still be considered a true, traditional human being?

"Decide for yourselves whether or not to inject. I'll give you all a day to consider."

"Finally, let me explain to you what a Tier 1 zombie is. Everyone knows that after a person is infected with the virus, they will zombify and become a zombie. But what you don't know is that zombies can also evolve. They inherently possess the characteristic of devouring. When they devour other zombies or absorb certain specific energies, they may advance and become Tier 2 zombies, or even higher-tier zombies. The same is true for us human mutants. The ability after mutation will advance with the accumulation of energy and become a higher-tier mutant. So becoming a mutant is not the end, it is only the beginning."

"Okay. Everyone, attention!"

With a rustle, everyone moved in unison and stood at attention.

"Dismissed!"

Dongfang Chen ordered.

As soon as the order to dismiss was issued, a group of people quickly surrounded him.

"Boss, what did you mean just now when you said that after injecting the agent, we wouldn't belong to humans anymore?"

"Boss, how can we improve the abilities of mutants?"

"Boss, when are we going to kill zombies?"

"Boss, when are we going to visit?"

"Boss..."

A group of people asked questions non-stop.

"Alright, alright, let's do this, everyone can go ask Captain Zhang if they have any questions. After lunch in a while, I'll lead you all to visit the production warehouse," Dongfang Chen shouted loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people surrounded Captain Zhang again.

...

In the afternoon, everyone finished lunch and came to the training ground to wait.

Unlike in the morning, everyone was wearing new equipment, except for the headgear. One reason was that it wasn't necessary, and the other was that wearing the headgear would make them look like a group of terrorists from a distance.

Also, the new equipment looked like tight-fitting suits, and everyone felt a little embarrassed to wear them out, so they put on camouflage uniforms on top.

After Dongfang Chen arrived, he led everyone down to the fourth basement level.

In fact, the production warehouse was on the sixth basement level, but the sign said fourth basement level. This was because the original fourth and fifth basement levels were not open to everyone. They housed the power generation room and the hive, which were the heart of the entire underground base.

Since the Queen Bee built her nest, all living areas, workshops, and equipment in the base have been under the Queen Bee's management. The people at the base were actually just going through the motions every day. All planning and construction did not require their participation. They were just simply cleaning and arranging things.

From the third basement level to the fourth basement level, the first feeling was that it was deep, deeper than imagined. After turning back and forth on several flights of stairs, they finally reached the fourth basement level.

Another feeling was that it was more depressing and colder than above.

There were lights everywhere in the passage, so it didn't feel like going down into a mine.

After reaching the fourth basement level, there was only a metal door two meters high and four meters wide in front of them.

The door was equipped with a 30-inch LCD screen. Various parameters were constantly flashing on the screen. In the upper left corner was a girl's headshot.

No one recognized this girl except Dongfang Chen.

That's right, she was Xiao Lin.

"Commander, good afternoon. Welcome to the production warehouse."

"Wow! How cool! Brother Dongfang, is this artificial intelligence?" Luo'er said in surprise.

"Yes, it is," Dongfang Chen replied with a smile.

"Xiao Lin, open the door and let everyone go in and take a look," Dongfang Chen said, looking at the screen.

"Okay, Commander."

After saying that, the door slowly slid open to both sides with a mechanical sound.

Dongfang Chen took the lead and walked inside.

The members of the guard team followed behind and entered one after another.

I don't know when, Yan Fangfang and Shen Miaoluo started playing together. The two were inseparable, eating and sleeping together.

Yan Fangfang was much older than Luo'er, and she always let her do as she pleased.

However, Luo'er's brother, Shen Wengang, was not happy. He was neglected every day and couldn't express his dissatisfaction, so he could only watch helplessly.

Yan Fangfang didn't talk much. Luo'er talked to her with surprise while walking, and she just smiled and nodded without saying a word.

"Sister Fangfang, look quickly, there are ants on the petals. What are the ants doing on the petals?"

"Sister Fangfang, look quickly, the pig's poop is actually moving. Are there worms inside?"

Yan Fangfang was speechless.

Everyone shook their heads with a smile as they listened to Luo'er's exclamations.

Everyone's hearts were extremely shocked.

They were walking on the aisle in the middle, with floor-to-ceiling glass partitions on both sides.

Through the glass partitions, they could clearly see that each room was divided into about 10 meters wide, and as for the depth, it was difficult to estimate, they couldn't see the end at a glance.

On the glass in front of each closed compartment, a series of key indicators in the compartment were displayed: including temperature, growth cycle, humidity, estimated yield... and a lot of information that they could understand and couldn't understand.

The cabbage, potato, and wheat planting compartments were all layered and used soilless cultivation.

There were all kinds of robots, large and small, working in each compartment.

"These few rooms are wheat planting compartments. The temperature, humidity, and other indicators inside are completely matched with the growth cycle of improved wheat. Three harvests a year, an average of one harvest every four months."

"These two are potato planting compartments, and the two behind are cabbage planting compartments. What you see here is the pig breeding compartment. There is also a compartment next to it, which is a hatching compartment specifically for pig breeding."

"How about it, is everyone relieved this time?" Dongfang Chen said with a smile.

He knew that although everyone trusted him, and he had also produced the results that everyone expected, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, everyone would still have some doubts in their hearts.

This time was also a decision Dongfang Chen made after a long time of consideration.

People's hearts are the most difficult thing to control.

Trust is also conditional.

Just drawing a pie without any practical benefits, over time, everyone's thoughts would become complicated, and people's hearts would be scattered.

Yan Fangfang's six younger brothers slowly approached Yan Fangfang. Luo'er was standing next to Yan Fangfang and didn't notice, but she didn't escape Dongfang Chen's eyes.

Since Yan Fangfang brought her younger brothers to the base, she has always behaved very obediently. But it is not difficult to see that the few of them are still a small group and have not integrated into the group.

Dongfang Chen can also understand this. Without experiencing hardships and battles, it is not easy for them to integrate.

However, it is necessary to be wary of others. Dongfang Chen had Xiao Lin monitor what Yan Fangfang and the others were talking about every day.

In general, not only are those few people not bad people, but they also have a strong background. It's just that their outward appearance is not like decent people. If they were really bad people, they wouldn't have given the four doctors a car to let them leave before deciding to come to the base.

In the two months at the base, they have been very low-key. One is that the fighting power of the guards is definitely not bad, which is completely inconsistent with the description of the few doctors that they were all old men. The second is Shen Miaoluo, a cheerful, talkative little girl who is protected by a brother with explosive fighting power. She keeps calling Dongfang gege all day long, and Yan Fangfang naturally wants to maintain a certain distance and doesn't want this innocent little girl to look down on her.
