Even in the interstellar age, when cloning technology has been perfected and we have artifacts like biological manufacturing chambers, humans are still far from fully understanding the mysteries of the human body.

With the current technology on the spacecraft, it is impossible to achieve the capabilities displayed by the parasite. For example, making a monkey's strength reach the level of one ton.

Feng Song then focused on studying how the parasites did this, and obtained many important results.

Of course, Chen Xu doesn’t care about the research process. What he cares about is what benefits the research results can bring to the base.

To be honest, he felt somewhat regretful at this moment. If one of the three women studied medicine or biology, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for her to win the Nobel Prize with the information on the spacecraft?

This is undoubtedly a great thing that will benefit mankind.

Of course, this is just a thought. He will not force them to learn something or nothing. It all depends on their own wishes.

Time passed day by day, and Chen Xu and Luo Xiyun spent a whole year in such an ordinary yet fulfilling life.

During this year, the outside world was calm. The underground people did not launch a large-scale attack, and no one even went to the surface to gather information.

The base continued to develop according to the original plan. The number of biochemical people increased by dozens again, and the number of natural human babies exceeded 600. Each family was given three children.

The robot production line is becoming more and more stable, and the number of robots exceeds eight thousand.

The scope of the base has tripled compared to a year ago.

The cable production line is gradually being improved.

Feng Song has also made continuous significant progress in his research on cloning. Based on these results, he has developed a variety of new treatment methods, such as regeneration of severed limbs, and super drugs that can significantly increase a person's strength and speed in a short period of time.

The only thing that has no real progress is his relationship with Luo Xiyun.

"Chen Xu."

At dinner time, at the table, Luo Xiyun picked up the chopsticks, put them down again, as if he had made a decision, and said.

"Um?"

This was the first time she had called him by his name in such a formal way in the past year. He knew that she must have something important to say.

Luo Xiyun clasped his hands together and said, "I'm leaving."

Such words brought back some bad memories in Chen Xu's heart. He frowned and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Back to reality."

Chen Xu thought that a year had passed, which was eight hours in reality, so she should have woken up. At this time, there must be someone with her. If she didn't wake up, it would cause unnecessary worry.

He asked, "When?"

"Tonight." Luo Xiyun had obviously thought about it a long time ago, and he answered without any hesitation.

Chen Xu looked at her and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Can't you stay and accompany me for a few more days?"

"They will be in soon."

Luo Xiyun said softly, "I don't want to see them."

Chen Xu was speechless. Yang Jinxia and Bai Jinxuan had not appeared in the past year. He was surprised at first, but later he gradually figured it out.

It was obvious that they didn't want to see each other, so they planned to meet at different times.

As a result, the two of them thought the same thing and neither of them entered the game.

This is also the only reasonable explanation.

Now that a year has passed, the two of them may indeed show up at any time.

After a while, Chen Xu asked, "Will you come in again?"

Since you haven't finished learning, that means you need to come back to learn. After hearing this answer, Chen Xu felt relieved and said, "Let's eat, it will get cold soon."

Luo Xiyun picked up the chopsticks and started eating in silence.

…………

That night, Luo Xiyun went offline.

Chen Xu was left alone again, which made him very uncomfortable. He tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

He couldn't sleep, so he just got up, went to the laboratory, sat down to work, and slowly he calmed down.

Before I knew it, it was daybreak.

During the day, he was even more uncomfortable. They used to have breakfast together, study together, play badminton together, and spend most of the day together. Now, he eats alone and studies alone...

That feeling is not pleasant.

At this time, he wished that something unexpected would happen at the base to divert attention.

No accident happened. With the current armed forces of the base, it might be difficult to wipe out the underground world, but self-preservation would not be a problem.

After a long morning, Chen Xu finished his lunch and went to the baby care room. He built this care center to reduce the burden on cyborg families, so that they could have a place to take care of their children while they were at work.

Today, the childcare center has expanded a lot and is divided into two parts. These are the first few batches of babies, who are already one year old and most of them can walk.

Chen Xu looked at these energetic little guys and finally felt a little more cheerful.

The gene bank in the biomanufacturing room is full of elites from all walks of life, including top scientists, and their genes are very excellent. In order to ensure the diversity of genes, he uses random pairing, and the genes of each baby come from different people.

When these babies grew up and turned one year old, they became very cute. Chen Xu hugged one and twisted the face of another, and his mood unconsciously became better.

This method is really effective. When Luo Xiyun was still here, whenever she was in a bad mood, she would come here to take a look and she would recover quickly.

…………

Luo Xiyun woke up, opened his eyes, and saw the ceiling of the bedroom. For a moment, he had a strong sense of unreality.

She took out her cell phone and saw that only eight hours had passed. Although it was not the first time this had happened, she still found it hard to believe that she had been dreaming for a whole year.

She sat up and touched the bed sheet. The solid touch made her unable to distinguish which was a dream and which was reality.

Dongdong——

At this time, there was a knock on the door, "Xiyun, are you awake?"

That was Liu Yumeng's voice.

Luo Xiyun hurried over to open the door, and when he saw Liu Yumeng outside, he suddenly hugged her.

"What's wrong with you?" Liu Yumeng was a little worried at first, but when she was hugged, she felt a little confused.

"It's great to see you." Luo Xiyun murmured. It had been a year, in that environment. If Chen Xu hadn't been by her side, she would probably have gone crazy.

Liu Yumeng was a little confused, but thinking that she had just broken up, it was not surprising that she was a little abnormal, so she did not pursue it and said, "I bought breakfast and came back. Eat some first."

Luo Xiyun then let go of his hand, walked to the table, looked at the breakfast on the table, and thought of Chen Xu who was still in the dream. After he left, he was left alone.

Thinking of this, she felt inexplicably distressed.
