Chapter 70
"What do you mean?" He Yunting frowned and asked in a deep voice.
Xu Zhiheng seemed to feel that his nervousness had obviously made him lose control, so he straightened his expression and continued, "This report was conceived by my student. He was even crazier than me, and his thinking about life sciences was almost paranoid."
He paused, sighed, and seemed to recall something: "But he forgot that all scientific research and ideas always have the most basic premise, and ethics is the bottom line."
"so what?"
"I can't predict whether this is a coincidence or someone has really started researching it," Xu Zhiheng analyzed, "but if they really did it, it would be... unethical."
"Just like I tried my best to stop the blood-burning research back then, if a research cannot even convince the ethics and morality, how can we ensure that the final research results are really beneficial to mankind?"
Qi Jiamu remained silent.
During this period of contact, he has fully understood the whole picture of the matter. Qi Jiaze has had a weak constitution since childhood, and he is introverted and taciturn. The only person he can trust is himself.
He originally thought that it didn't matter if he spent his whole life in a civilian area. He was an alpha and had been better than ordinary people since he was young. This allowed Qi Jiaze to spend his childhood in peace.
As long as I can take good care of my younger brother, I don't have to risk my life to become a so-called pillar of the empire.
There are already so many outstanding people, so it’s no big deal if you are content to be a little mediocre.
It's a pity that he couldn't get everything he wanted.
The distribution of the empire was deformed like an inverted triangle. It was obvious that the top minority enjoyed the most abundant resources, and they never had to worry about not having enough at any time. But as the resources went down, the vast majority of resources were distributed to the high-quality people in the core areas, and the things left for the civilian areas began to become obviously scarce.
In terms of service industry, technology industry, social security, as well as basic medical and educational conditions, civilian areas will never be able to compete with core areas.
If you want to get higher and better, you have to work hard to climb up.
This is what Qi Jiamu realized after he and his brother were rejected from online medical services countless times.
It was then that he realized that the little wish in his heart was almost impossible to achieve in the civilian area. There were too many people competing for resources and he had no advantage at all.
His mental strength is already among the best in the civilian area. Since he was a child, no one has been his opponent. Many people say that it would be a pity not to go to the base to try with such an alpha.
Not to mention the core differences, at least you don’t have to worry about financial problems anymore.
Qi Jiamu hesitated for a long time, but finally set out towards the core area.
Not long after he left, Qi Jiaze's health began to deteriorate.
Thinking of this, Qi Jiamu looked at He Yunting with gratitude.
Ever since Qi Jiaze was secretly transferred to Xu Zhiheng's laboratory, his emotions seemed to have stabilized a lot and his injuries had completely healed, but sometimes he still couldn't recognize Qi Jiamu immediately.
His blood samples and various data are already being analyzed, but because Xu Zhiheng is the only one operating it, the progress is not fast.
But the people present were obviously more worried about something else. He Yunting hesitated for a moment and continued to discuss the previous question: "If. If it is as you said, what is the worst case scenario."
"The worst case scenario..." Xu Zhiheng's voice was more serious than ever before, "It's unpredictable."
"Even if someone has already started practicing, we don't know what their experimental subjects are, where they got the Zerg genes from, what changes will the combination of the two bring to humans, and whether it will bring unstoppable consequences..."
No one knows about these things.
The people present fell silent again.
After a moment, He Yunting thought of something and asked again: "Professor Xu."
"Your student who came up with this idea...what is he doing now?"
Xu Zhiheng was not surprised that He Yunting would ask this, and said truthfully: "He left the life science community a few years ago. When he left, he had irreconcilable conflicts with me and destroyed all the papers and reports related to me."
"What's his name?"
When Xu Zhiheng thought of this, there was a sense of loss in his eyes. He wondered if he was feeling sorry for the students who had parted ways with him.
"Xi Yuan."
-
That night, after He Yunting and Lu Anhe returned to the base, they collected all the information about Xi Yuan overnight.
He seemed to have suddenly appeared beside Wen Tianyao. He was quiet and low-key, but incredibly efficient and cautious. He had never made a mistake over the years.
His background and resume were also very clean. He was born in the core area and his parents were both of high status. He was successfully admitted to the Imperial Army University and, not surprisingly, he got full marks and graduated perfectly.
However, this horrifying concept report was not mentioned in any of the information.
He Yunting browsed through all the information and pursed his lips.
It feels very passive.
Seeing Lu Anhe still standing aside, He Yunting raised his eyes slightly and said, "You should go back and rest first."
No one else knows about this matter at the moment. After He Yunting came back, in order to prevent any more accidents and to quickly improve the combat quality of the new pilots, the base's training volume these days is twice as much as usual.
But no one has any complaints. No one wants to hand their life over to death casually, nor does anyone want their family and friends who they care about to cry because of them.
After returning from the border area, qualified pilots were formally incorporated into the base and became a member of the Imperial Army.
After Lu Anhe left, He Yunting stayed for a long time before returning to his room in the base.
Only now did he have time to relax and catch his breath.
It was past midnight and He Yunting was not sleepy. He leaned on the edge of the bed and looked at the communicator.
He remembered what Lin Han said before he left.
"——Because you are Mr. Lin's lover."
For a moment, He Yunting didn't want to think about anything. Lin Han said to remember to use the communicator to keep in touch. He pressed his finger on the video screen and was about to open it.
But it was too late, Lin Han was probably asleep by now.
He Yunting knew that if he called now, the other party would not be angry. Instead, he would ask him "what's wrong" in a soft and gentle tone, and then say a few comforting words to reassure him and himself.
Even after reading his horrible thoughts, he still chose to hug him, even pushed him back onto the bed, saying he would help him, and did something that he thought was impossible for the other person to do.
Earlier, Lin Han had discussed Xi Yuan with him and pleaded with him that he would go and shake hands with the other person and listen to what he was thinking. He was assured that nothing would happen.
He also wanted to do something for himself.
He Yunting thought that Lin Han had done enough.
He rubbed the communicator with his fingers many times, but in the end he couldn't bear to press it.
Xi Yuan is too dangerous, and many things clearly have nothing to do with him.
He should enjoy a beautiful dream instead of living in fear.
He Yunting looked at the unchanging gloomy starry sky outside the window and said "good night" softly.
-
They had prepared for all possible unexpected events and were on high alert.
But no one expected that the changes would come faster than imagined.
The next day, He Yunting finished packing before the bugle sounded. Just as he was dressed and ready to go to the training ground, his communicator rang.
The most important thing is that this is a special line from the Crown Prince.
He thought that Wen Tianyao would find another excuse to come to the base, but as soon as the call was connected, the voice he heard made He Yunting's face turn cold instantly.
The empire has no marshals, and He Yunting, as the admiral with the highest military power, can directly skip the group of pedantic old men in the parliament who quarrel all day long and only obey the orders from the crown prince when it comes to accepting his fate.
But this time the person was not Wen Tianyao.
It was an order issued directly from the emperor - usually those directly notified to He Yunting were emergencies, and they were events that needed to be taken seriously and required the mobilization of military power.
"Admiral, you may need to temporarily stop the training at hand." The person in charge of delivering the message spoke in a standard official tone, and displayed the emperor's scepter that represented the power to mobilize troops in the video, "There is an urgent matter."
The M galaxy under the jurisdiction of the empire is spread out with the core area as the center. During the expansion year after year, it gradually annexed many small planets with weak military strength and small population, and finally incorporated them into its own territory.
For example, the two proton stars adjacent to the north, the population of those small planets has not changed on the surface, but they are still subject to the management of the empire, which is equivalent to self-governance, but ultimately they still belong to the territory of the empire.
This event occurred on a V-shaped proton star in the north.
The people on these proton stars are actually similar to those in the civilian areas. Even though they were self-governing before, most of the outstanding people ran to the core area, and the rest were just some idle people. They might not be willing to put in so much effort, or their mental strength might not be high, or their physical fitness might not be good enough... However, the self-governing environment is relatively looser than that in the civilian areas, and they are still quite content.
However, the V-shaped proton stars are basically all Betas. The reason is simple: all the Alphas that can run have run away, and Omegas cannot adapt to the environment there and cannot stay at all.
And since some time ago, strange phenomena began to appear.
The V-shaped proton star is an asteroid that is relatively close to the Worm Star, but even if it is said to be "close", it is only a relative distance. In fact, it is more than hundreds of thousands of light years away.
But the strange thing is that many people started to feel abnormal.
At first, only some betas experienced involuntary eye tremors, trembling limbs, spoke words that others could not understand, and had a tendency to attack others.
They didn't even seem to have a purpose for attacking, but there seemed to be an innate instruction in their minds that required them to attack and plunder.
There were only one or two such humans, and they attracted little attention.
But gradually, nothing went right.
This kind of people seemed to have suddenly erupted overnight, and the people of an entire small city seemed to be infected with this strange gene. They began to attack each other, but they still had reason, but this "reason" became weird, like a regrowing instinct.
Their recovery abilities have also become more amazing than before, and some people can even recover quickly without relying on normal medication.
Of course, this is not the most important thing.
The most important thing is——
These people began to show strange habits, the most typical of which was the appearance of vertical pupils.
"So Mr. Admiral - I have to trouble you this time."
"The local government of Proton Star is already incompetent in its management, so please go and resolve this matter as soon as possible."
The author has something to say: I feel like everyone doesn't like to read the plot, so I'll try to write faster. The next chapter will have Mr. Lin.
