“I know about what’s been happening at your fishing port recently. Your clones have rebelled, and I’m very worried about the safety of the clones you’ve provided,” Qiqi said.

Elsherry subconsciously turned to look at Shoubiru.

Shou said, "It's just a technical glitch on our end. I'll try to fix it as soon as possible."

Qiqi Heng added, "But I also know that your artificial intelligence is damaged. The damage to artificial intelligence means that you are temporarily unable to produce clones."

Producing clones is an extremely complex and precise task, involving the editing of genes and cells. This is something that is difficult for humans to handle personally and requires the assistance of artificial intelligence.

Shou said, "It's not as difficult as you might think. I can re-edit an artificial intelligence. Although it's not as powerful as 00, it's not hard to assist in creating clones."

Qiqi Heng added, "Even if you resume production, after such a large-scale clone escape incident, I have lost all hope for the safety of your clones."

Shoubi hurriedly said, "No, don't worry, our clones are relatively safe."

Seeing that Shou Ru was simply following the other person's lead and being led by the nose, Elsherry immediately interjected, "Dr. Qiqi Heng, what do you mean by all this?"

Qiqi declared, "We've decided to kick your fishing port out of the Red Alliance."

Everyone was shocked.

Elsherry asked, "Is this your unilateral decision, or is it a joint decision between you and the Desert Base?"

Qiqi retorted, "It means we're together."

Elsherry frowned and asked, "Why are you doing this? What gives you the right to do this?"

Qiqi said bluntly, "Let me put it bluntly, you can no longer provide us with any help. Our Red Alliance was originally established as an alliance based on mutual assistance and benefit, and you have now lost the qualification to be our ally."

"How could you do this!" Elsherry shouted angrily.

Shoubi also angrily said, "We just had a minor accident and suffered a temporary setback. We will soon be able to recover our previous abilities."

The other three remained silent.

Lian Daxun was also worried about the future maintenance and repair of the mecha.

Ren Yan didn't care. If they didn't cooperate with the other two parties, the pressure of insufficient manpower resources in the fishing port might be alleviated to some extent.

Sophia, on the other hand, was thinking about the profit and loss. After all, a large part of her profits came from selling gene enhancement drugs. If she lost the supply from the Reef Pirates, she would need other ways to make money.

Each of the five had their own thoughts.

Across from him, Qiqi chuckled and said, "You should restore your former glory first. Having technology is one thing, having productivity is another. Can you restore the damaged parts of your aircraft carrier and the damaged clone production line to their former state?"

This is something that many people may not be aware of, but Shoubi is absolutely certain of it.

Yes, having the technology and being able to produce it are two different things.

It's like a modern person traveling back to ancient times; even if he knows the structure of a car, he can't build one.

Because the steam engine for heavy industry was not developed there, nor were the lathes for manufacturing precision parts.

In this apocalyptic era, after experiencing the baptism of the end times, some technological devices disappeared, creating a gap in technology.

It's a bit like a person from the future traveling to ancient times; they know the principles behind some things, but they just can't actually build them.

Even a single rivet on an aircraft carrier is the culmination of countless technologies, let alone the other parts and the cloning production line.

We just can't make it.

As they were both researchers, Qiqi Heng knew him all too well, so what he said was not wrong at all.

Seeing that Shoubi was silent, Elsherry said anxiously, "Why aren't you saying anything? Say something!"

Shouru lowered his head and sighed sadly, "Never mind, let it be. I will do my best."

“You…” Elsherry wanted to say how could you give up on yourself, but before she could say it, Qiqi Heng spoke first.

"Alright everyone, I've said my piece, and I'm sure you all understand. We don't need to keep in touch as often anymore. Best wishes to you all!"

Qiqi cut off the communication after she finished speaking.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the conference room became somber.

Elsherry said, "Did you all hear that? This is undoubtedly a terrible news. Losing our allies means losing our chance to move forward."

The crowd remained silent, indicating their tacit agreement.

Elsherry continued, "Doesn't anyone have any opinions on how we should develop in the future?"

Ren Yan said, "Since clones cannot be produced for the time being, we should increase the birth rate of civilians and encourage them to have more children. Population is the primary productive force."

Elsherry said, "Then, what about resources? If a large number of civilians are born, it will consume a lot of food resources. They can't directly digest the mutated creatures of this world like clones."

Shouru said, "That's easy. Food resources are nothing more than nutrient solution. We can have Lian Daxun harvest a large number of mutated creatures outside, and I will increase the equipment and increase the production of nutrient solution extraction. This is no problem for me."

Lian Daxun nodded: "Sure, I can arrange for people to harvest more mutated creatures."

At this point, the atmosphere finally eased and seemed to become more relaxed.

Sophia, who never usually speaks, suddenly asked, "Is this enough?"

All eyes turned to Sophia, wondering what she meant.
