◎The change of power, give them a name◎
When he saw Sang Wanyin again, Yan Xunzhi couldn't help but pay more attention to her.
Ning Yue said that they looked very similar, but she didn't think so at the time. Now, after taking a closer look, Sang Wanyin looked completely different from her at first glance, but upon closer inspection, their eyebrows and eyes did bear some resemblance.
She couldn't help but touch the bridge of her nose. The bone contours were also very similar.
Sentinels were very sensitive to other people's perceptions. Even though Yan Xunzhi was looking at her in a concealed manner, Sang Wanyin still noticed it the first second his gaze fell on her.
Then she felt the gaze lingering on her face, back and forth, furtively, retreating and entering.
Sang Wanyin hesitated for a long moment, "...Is there something strange about me today?"
Then the sentry sitting across from her shuddered as if startled, then snapped back to his senses and stammered, "No, it's just... someone said we look alike, so I wanted to see..."
Do they look alike? Sang Wanyin had never noticed this before, but after hearing her mention it, she took a serious look.
Yan Xunzhi raised his head, but lowered his eyelids, feeling inexplicably nervous, sweat pouring down his back. He felt that gaze linger for a moment, then said in a cheerful voice, "Hey! It really does look like her..."
"Like what?"
The special warfare training room unlocked with a click, and Kong Wei pushed the door open and came in.
"Like her. We look quite similar." Sang Wanyin gestured and said casually, "Seriously, Officer Ning, you just like this. Your taste hasn't changed."
Yan Xunzhi was almost scared to death by her words.
Oh my God! Even if she lived for another 800 years and had a thousand guts, she wouldn't dare to talk to Kong Wei like that!
Oh, I really want to live as unrestrainedly as Sang Wanyin.
Kong Wei seemed to perk up suddenly. He looked up at Yan Xunzhi, then at Sang Wanyin, and ran back and forth between the two of them several times. "Oh... they really do look a bit like each other."
Sang Wanyin asked curiously, "You haven't noticed it before?"
Kong Wei placed the equipment and monitor on the table. "Ning Yue told me about it, but you two have never been together. There's no comparison, so how would I have known about it?"
Yan Xunzhi, who was just listening on the side, felt quite ashamed.
One has been with her since the beginning of the experiment, and the other stays at home drawing eyebrows and rouge every day. How could she have no impression of it at all!
"But..." Kong Wei put the equipment in place, looked up at them for a few seconds, and said affirmatively, "I have a pretty good eye."
“…” I really can’t stand Wang Po.
The injection time has not yet arrived. The early injection of the EV drug in the experiment must be approved in advance, and there will be someone to supervise it after approval. It is impossible for Kong Wei to do it on his own.
Sure enough, while she was debugging the machine, two sentries and a guide came in one after another. They knew Sang Wanyin and greeted her when they entered. Yan Xunzhi also waved to them from the side.
There was a sentry that looked familiar to her. After thinking for a long time, she remembered that he was Kong Wei's immediate superior, an S-class sentry whom she had met once, Sun Yesuo.
At least she is a senior official in the Northwest Military Region, and her rank is not low. She is in charge of all the S-level outposts in other areas of the Northwest.
The last introduction was brief, but this time Kong Wei didn't even bother to introduce himself. He casually swiped to the back and said, "Sit down, everyone, sit down. The debugging will take a while."
The guide sat down next to Yan Xunzhi. Seeing her for the first time, he leaned slightly to the side and nodded to her, "Zeng An."
Yan Xunzhi also nodded politely in response, "Yan Xunzhi."
But the moment she turned her head, her eyes rolled towards the name tag, and she was amazed when she saw the shining gold letter S on it.
As expected, birds of a feather flock together. Before she met Kong Wei, she didn't even know what an S-class was. How many students in her class dreamed of experiencing the power of an S-class sentinel in their lifetime. The people around Kong Wei were all S-class, and they were so accurate in catching them that they were worth less than cabbage.
Hmm...that's not right...underground...cabbage is still quite valuable.
The other sentry was a male, also S-rank. Yan Xunzhi was genuinely curious, so he poked his head out slightly, took a quick look, and then retracted it.
Quite rare, this is a sentry on the ground.
Male sentries who need to go to the ground are rare species.
The underground male-to-female ratio is about two to eight - it is very likely that the number is not even this high, it is a typical situation where there are more women than men.
A hundred years ago, the alien creatures had not grown stronger, and the main reason they could not survive was that the environment was becoming increasingly harsh. The north was extremely hot, the south was extremely cold, and the nights were long without daylight.
At least you can wear clothes when it's cold, but the heat can be scorching. Humans first migrated south and built houses, but soon discovered that the ground radiation in the south was extremely strong, and their bodies began to show varying degrees of abnormalities.
The land can withstand radiation, but the south is extremely cold, and the soil is frozen extremely solid and in a very strange way, frozen layer by layer from the inside out, making it impossible to dig it up.
We had no choice but to turn back to the north, where the radiation was relatively low. Even if we were active on the ground, it wouldn't cause much harm as long as it wasn't for a long time.
Go underground and build a dungeon to completely isolate the radiation. The five senses are affected by the ground and the mind is confused, so we study how to evolve the five senses and improve the brain spirit.
The human body function transformation experiment begins.
It was named after the film content on the ground, commonly known as "Sentry Transformation", which is easy to understand.
Of course, the books are all positive history, and very brief, telling how great and tenacious our ancestors were, and how they finally survived in this rolling yellow sand and dark underground.
When Kong Wei took her to visit the breeding base, he explained it in more detail.
After the introduction of sentry-oriented modifications and the widespread use of exoskeletons, the strength difference between men and women has become almost negligible. Women's lower energy intake, greater energy conversion capabilities, greater mobility above ground, and higher survival rates for the same exposure time have all contributed to their growing influence underground.
But what really brought about the change of power was the success of artificial sperm technology.
Once underground, the environment is harsh and organisms instinctively protect themselves.
The land isolates the radiation, but the people who go underground once lived on the ground and were affected by the radiation. Coupled with environmental changes, natural reproduction has become very rare.
Even most people have lost the ability to reproduce naturally.
In the pursuit of human reproduction, ethics and morals have long been thrown to the wind. But after all, a person only has one uterus. Can it simultaneously carry two, three... or more? How many more?
The artificial womb is unsealed and promoted as a key project. Humanity is re-studying it, adapting it underground, and putting it into use.
At that time, Kong Wei even called her in front of the machine, "Come and try it."
"What?" Yan Xunzhi was concentrating on looking at the uterus and saw embryos of different sizes inside.
There are still plenty of uterine warehouses now, and there is no specified time limit for cultivation. If there are particularly good embryos, the uterine warehouse will be used to cultivate them for several months to a year to allow the embryo to develop better.
When I was called, I jumped over in two steps.
There was a separate, lever-like joystick in front of the monitor. Yan Xunzhi was curious, and when she asked him to try it, he naturally reached out and asked, "What is this?"
There was a smile in Kong Wei's eyes, which sparkled under the light. "It's a naming device. That's how you get your name."
Yan Xunzhi's hand was already on it, but he shuddered when he heard the words and quickly withdrew it as if he had been burned, "This... this can't be touched casually!"
Kong Wei raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, "Of course not."
Then he deliberately asked me to pull it, what if I was quick... Yan Xunzhi rolled his eyes secretly, only daring to complain silently, when he suddenly felt his hand being wrapped by something cold and soft.
Kong Wei held her hand and placed it on the joystick.
"Because all the orphaned children in the Federation are named this way." She held her hand and slowly pulled down the joystick. "So there's a saying that whoever shook the name is their creator."
"The titular creator."
Due to the effects of radiation, the results of gene editing research on Earth have been largely wasted. Every part of the body is damaged, and weak and infertile sperm are common, making reproduction difficult. With only a uterus but no viable embryos, the body will gradually weaken with each passing generation, and human research is gradually shifting.
At the same time, EV drugs have been updated to the second generation.
The first generation has too great an impact on the body. Humans cannot take in large amounts at one time. They can take in small amounts at several times. Due to individual differences, many people still cannot reach the required standards even if they take the critical value every day.
The second generation of EV can inherit the efficacy of drugs through genes, which can almost be said to be a rapid accumulation of drug efficacy through body replacement, but the genetic concentration is unstable.
Some can meet the standards in two generations, while some lose their efficacy after the fifth or sixth generation.
Genetic probability is like God drawing a lottery, which is itself quite complicated, with countless types that are difficult to track. The box is huge, and no one knows what they will get.
Until the first baby was born from an egg engineered with artificial sperm.
The test results almost eliminated the effects of radiation, and more importantly, ev genetics tended to be stable.
It is not difficult to transform sperm into eggs.
Reproduction only requires a female uterus and female eggs, and their chromosomes determine that only females can be reproduced. This is itself a self-sustaining cycle, which means that even if only one person is left in the world, the human race may prosper again.
On the verge of extinction, egg modification with better success rates and better genetic effects naturally became the mainstream.
The physical differences are not that big, the differentiation is stable, the genetics are stable... In the bloody dungeon, only value ranks first.
Everyone wanted to get more resources, and the White Tower took the initiative to cultivate more women. During the peak period, almost all the uterine warehouses were filled with female embryos.
Initially, they still obeyed male leaders more, but the world is always a place where the fittest survive and the strong prey on the weak.
The number of women on earth is several times that of men. Even though differentiation has weakened the differences between men and women, and women have become the first gender, while weakening the struggle for power transition between men and women, the struggle for rights is still bloody.
Women being on the ground more often means they will have direct access to profits, resources, and more.
The weak will always be overthrown by the strong.
The patriarchal society dies out of worthlessness.
Then comes rapid decline. With no rights, no ability, and genetic instability, who would cultivate male embryos when there are more cost-effective options?
The male population declined dramatically, dropping from 5:5 to less than 1:9 within a few years. Coupled with the high mortality rate, the country was practically on the verge of extinction...
That won’t do!
The existence of the second sex has lasted for millennia, creating an indispensable conflict both for inheritance and for diversion. To maintain the perpetuation of both sexes, the Federation has established a mandatory sex ratio of no less than two to eight in White Tower breeding.
Although according to Kong Wei, if they really investigate, almost all the White Towers in the Federation will be fined...
Because they are rare, they are specially protected. Even if male sentries are well differentiated, they are usually assigned to low-risk logistical projects because of their gender.
Of course, it's unfortunate for ambitious people, as it's like having no chance of advancement in their entire lives, and their status is only slightly higher than the bottom. But for a nobody like Yan Xunzhi...
Forget it, she doesn’t want to be at the bottom!
She earns so little money, has so much to do, has no hope for the future, and is discriminated against from time to time... She thinks it's good to be on the ground!
How great it is to fight for the cause of humanity!

Kong Wei: ...
Because it is a unified world view, this part must be written, but I have been a little busy recently, and I wrote it a little hurriedly. This chapter is also quite stuck. I have revised it several times. I don’t know if there are any problems [chin resting] Maybe I will revise this part in the future. If there are any bugs, please comment and point them out~
