With each question Mingmei asked, Hu Yue opened her mouth but then closed it again. But she still asked, unwilling to give up, "Does that mean... if there's no one particularly useful, they're destined to die?"
Mu Chen's approach can be described in a very simple way: survival of the fittest.
Many people were eliminated based on their eligibility to board the starship.
The instability and side effects of the gene-editing agents eliminated another group, leaving behind only the ancestors of Hualan Star who were ultimately able to live in interstellar space.
"Since we know that gene therapy is unstable and risky, wouldn't a higher conversion rate mean more people would survive if we used the same amount of gene therapy? If that's the logic, then I think Ah Chen's actions are perfectly justifiable."
It sounds cruel, but this is the point. Even if you have a soft heart and choose a group of unfortunate people, or you just pick randomly based on luck—I won't discuss the process or methods—won't you feel sad when they die during the genetic modification process?
Aren't you sad?
Because of your soft heart, those who were full of hope for life died in the pain and despair of failed genetic modification.
It is cruel not to give them a chance to try;
Giving them a chance only to then expose them to despair is also a form of cruelty.
The question about Mingmei plunged Hu Yue into an even deeper silence.
"A momentary softening of the heart will only make them feel more cruelty." Mu Chen appeared at some point, and it was unclear how much he had overheard, but he calmly looked at Hu Yue and said, "How about we make a bet?"
