Chapter 122 The reason why the success rate of the unreplicable experiment suddenly dropped...
The experimental subject was lost, and the success rate of the institute's experiments dropped to nearly 100%. If there is a relationship between the two, then the lost experimental subject is likely to be the key to the success of the institute's experiments.
It is still the key that is difficult to replicate.
Otherwise, after ten years, it would be impossible for the institute to successfully produce only two experimental subjects, and the special abilities of these two experimental subjects were not new, but were copies of the abilities of previously existing experimental subjects.
Logically speaking, such a critical experimental subject is absolutely the top priority in terms of management and research.
The research institute would certainly keep various genetic samples of the experimental subjects, but even so, they were unable to replicate the key experimental subject, which shows that the generation of the key experimental subject was likely accidental.
By chance, the research institute could not find the special reason for the key experimental subject.
Of course, these are all their conjectures. Another possibility is that the first laboratory was destroyed and all important experimental data were burned, leading to a regression in experimental technology.
However, the possibility of this conjecture is extremely small. The experiment of giving birth to special abilities in experimental subjects is not only being conducted by the First Laboratory. It is impossible that such important information is not backed up.
Even if there was no backup, the success rate of the First Laboratory was zero, but the success rate of other laboratories in this experiment in the past ten years was also zero, which cannot be explained by the incomplete data of the First Laboratory.
So, looking back, the reason why the success rate of the experiment suddenly dropped is 90% likely due to the three experimental subjects who successfully escaped.
"This is interesting." Nan Qi's eyes darkened as he looked at Si Li. "Do you know the race and gender of the experimental subjects who successfully escaped?"
Sly nodded, then shook his head: "I only know that one of the test subjects is a male, I don't know the other two."
"Male insect." Nan Qi uttered these two words softly, and suddenly sneered, "No wonder they had to make the Brave Fighting Game incident. This is because the success rate of the experiment was too low, and they couldn't sit still. I just don't know which force is the one that can't sit still."
"Bai, you know one of them better. Do you think it's him?" Nan Qi rubbed Bai's fingers, and his tone was full of emotion, but Bai inexplicably felt that Nan Qi was a little unhappy.
Holding Nan Qi's hand with his other hand, Bai slowed down his tone, "I'm more inclined to believe it wasn't that person. If that person wanted to do it, he would have done it nine years ago after the 2,000+ observation period test subjects exploded. He's a shrewd person, and even if he was in a hurry, he wouldn't use such crude means to kidnap male insects."
"He'll use quieter, less noticeable methods to get what he wants."
"What do you mean?" Slang didn't understand. "What is the Brave Fighting Game incident?"
Sli was just in the room, using the desktop computer to check what had happened recently. He knew about the Brave Fighting Game incident and whispered it to Slangkop.
Two minutes later, Slang nodded. "I understand what you two mean. You're saying that you want to use male insects to replicate the lost experimental subjects, which will increase the success rate of the experiment."
"Clever." Bai praised generously. "It's not impossible that this was someone who put pressure on the institute, and the institute came up with this stupid trick out of desperation. But this definitely couldn't be that person. Although that person isn't a good person, he probably wouldn't cooperate with the Star Beast Tribe."
Nan Qi nodded. The first time he entered the black market, he once encountered a star beast that used needles as weapons on the gambling stage where he won the colorful stone. Although he didn't get more information from the torture, he did find out that the incident in the Brave Fighting Game was related to the star beast tribe.
After all, the Insect King is the ruler of a country and he is not stupid. He should not cooperate with the Star Beast Clan.
If it's not the Insect King, then some insects who covet the position of the Insect King have chosen to cooperate with the Star Beast Clan, wanting to borrow the power of the Star Beast Clan to fight the Insect King.
These insects are not afraid of being plotted against by the Star Beast Clan at all, and will end up with nothing left.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. I didn’t expect that this is also true in the interstellar age.
"How foolish!" Nan Qi said coldly, "You're playing with fire and getting burned just for the sake of power and the Star Beast Tribe."
Bai sighed, "Power is the most dazzling thing. It can make all intelligent creatures in this world submit to it. It's not surprising that people are willing to take risks for power."
After comforting Nan Qi, Bai looked at Si Li and Si Lang and said softly, "I'm sorry to bother you today. You've been tired all day. Go and have a rest. If you can think of anything special, you can always come to me."
Seeing this, Sli and Slang did not stay and stood up to say goodbye.
After returning to the room, Silang sat on the small sofa with a dull look in his eyes. After a long while, he asked the question in his heart: "Brother, is there really no bottom line for power? You actually cooperated with the Star Beast..."
As if remembering something, Slang shuddered. "The feud between us and the Star Beasts isn't just about territory. We're on their menu. What the hell are those bugs thinking?!"
Compared to Slang's anger, Sli was calmer. He sat across from Slang and said, "Slang, you and I both know that this world isn't black and white, otherwise we wouldn't exist. Faced with the temptation of absolute profit, even a natural enemy will temporarily retract their claws and put on a friendly face."
"It's logical and reasonable for those bugs to take risks in order to get this sweet piece of cake."
"What if the benefits end?" Slang asked. "When the benefits end, the natural enemies that had retracted their claws will unleash them again. And will the empire, which just experienced a tragic regime change, become a new pie in the sky that tempts the greed of other nations?"
"Yes, but that's something we need to consider after we gain power." Sli stroked Slang's hair and said softly, "Besides, it's not like they haven't made any preparations. Isn't the desire to produce more experimental subjects a backup plan for the future?"
"So, we, bugs like us, deserve to be sacrificed?" Slang's eyes were red.
He and Sly have been through a near-death experience for these years, but now they are living in a state worse than death. Even if they become the fourth or fifth experimental subjects to escape, if they are not lucky, they will still die miserably because they do not have the promote02 potion.
After failing to find the three test subjects who had managed to escape, the research institute gave up the search. Perhaps they knew that without regular injections of Promote02, they would definitely die, so they stopped wasting time.
"We shouldn't have sacrificed." Looking at Slang's red eyes, Sli felt uncomfortable.
He cheered himself up and comforted Slang: "Look, aren't we lucky? I believe that all bad things will change. What we can do now is to think about what we can do, right?"
"Then can we trust them?" Slang's voice gradually became lower and lower. "Could they be another research institute?"
"No." Sli answered Slang affirmatively.
Upon hearing this, Silang's eyes lit up brightly. Seeing his brother regain his spirits, Sili raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile of longing for a new life. His voice became softer:
"Slang, there's nothing on us that they covet. They have no intentions towards us, and yet they can help me. This is enough to show what kind of character they have."
"I know that life in the research institute has made you unable to trust any bugs or anything, but there are always different bugs in this world. You can choose not to believe, but don't let hatred and darkness blind your eyes."
Slang remained silent for a long time. He knew that what Sli said was right.
Over the years, Sley has been trying to protect him and has seen just as much darkness as he has. Therefore, at the same age, Sley has always been more mature than him.
Since Sly wanted to believe, then he would believe it, not believe those bugs, but believe Sly.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
"Well, I know. Slang has always been his brother's pride." Sli ruffled Slang's hair, stood up, pulled him up, and pushed him to the bathroom. "Go wash up and rest. Lily just brought some clean clothes."
Speaking of Lily, Slang remembered what happened downstairs and whispered to Sli about Lily's abnormality, but Sli was not surprised at all.
"Brother, did you figure it out?"
"You're just stupid." Sli tapped Slang's forehead. "Those two didn't even try to hide it. Why do you think I believed them so quickly? Go take a shower."
Si Lang pouted, feeling that he was really stupid, but he thought Nan Qi and Bai were also stupid, and very stupid. Aren't they afraid that they were pretending to surrender?
Without thinking about it anymore, Silang took the clothes given by his brother and went to take a shower leisurely.
Sli looked at Slang's relaxed back and smiled, feeling that the day had dawned.
On the other side, Nan Qi and Bai Tian, who Si Lang thought were stupid, took a bath and lay on the bed.
Nan Qi nestled in Bai's arms, feeling a little lazy. Bai used his fingers to comb Nan Qi's increasingly long hair and asked the question in his heart: "Nan Qi, are you in a bad mood? Can you tell me about it?"
Nan Qi was silent. He was indeed in a bad mood, but he didn't know how to explain it to Bai.
In his original world, there was no distinction between countries. No one knew what curse had struck the entire world. The highest level of sentinels and guides was only SS level, until Nan Qi came out of nowhere.
As the only SSS-level Sentinel, Nan Qi shoulders the fate of all mankind.
Humans have bestowed upon Nan Qi supreme glory and expectations, hoping that he can repay this glory and expectations with his whole heart. This includes not only battling highly mutated alien creatures, but also cooperating with all scientific research.
Study why only his mental power broke through to SSS level.
Of course, this kind of research is much safer than Srislang's. Although it is painful, it is still within Nan Qi's tolerance range. The scientists are also very rational and take Nan Qi's thoughts and feelings into consideration.
This balance was broken only after these scientists separated a special substance called Factor Y from Nan Qi's blood.
The Y factor can effectively promote the growth of the mental strength of sentinels and guides. Nan Qi has this factor in his body because one of his genes mutated, which allows this factor to be released stably. Therefore, Nan Qi has an additional task every month, which is to donate blood.
But Nan Qi is only one person, and his blood is limited, so some people have set their sights on his descendants, wanting to see if the Y gene can be extracted from their blood.
Not having offspring is not a problem, then create offspring. This group of people used righteousness to force Nan Qi to leave sperm or accept the woman they arranged.
This violates the ethical rules in experimental research.
In fact, because of Nan Qi's appearance, humans gradually gained the upper hand in the war between humans and alien creatures, so there was no need to do this at all.
Moreover, no matter how powerful humans are, they are not as powerful as high-precision thermal weapons. What humans should do is not to study how to have more SSS-level superhumans, but to invent more weapons that can deter alien creatures.
Nan Qi could accept the weakness after having his blood drawn every month and the pain of being studied, but he could not accept that his blood-related child had also been tortured since childhood.
However, Nan Qi's refusal led to imprisonment and threats to his family.
If the Lord of the Alien Creatures had not suddenly gone mad and Nan Qi had to step in, he would probably have fallen into endless pain and his family would have been implicated by him.
Nan Qi's only choice at the time was to die together with the Lord of the Alien Creatures.
Only his death could dispel the scientists' crazy speculations, allow his relatives to live in peace under his honor, and he would not have to suffer from the oppression of his conscience. With the demise of the Lord of Alien Creatures, humans would once again become the masters of the world.
Although this was an escape and was shameful, it was the only method he could think of after being tortured for a long time.
I thought I had forgotten all this, but when I heard about the escaped, non-replicable male insect experimental subject, the past came to my mind like a slide show, and my mood naturally became depressed.
But he didn't expect Bai to be so perceptive, and Nan Qi felt warm in his heart.
He didn't want to lie to Bai, whose heart and eyes were filled with thoughts of himself, but he also didn't want to make Bai worry. After thinking for a while, he slowly spoke, "Bai, I'm fine. I just suddenly remembered that Carter was captured. It's very likely that the research institute wanted to use Carter to replicate the escaped male insect test subject. I feel a little guilty. I shouldn't have taught Carter to practice so early."
Bai felt distressed when he heard Nan Qi say this, and hurriedly comforted her, "This isn't your fault. Besides, Carter didn't blame you. We rescued Carter safely, so don't dwell on it anymore. By the way, is it really okay to let Lily be exposed?"
Bai didn't want Nan Qi to be immersed in self-blame, so he quickly changed the subject.
Nan Qi cooperated and stopped talking about it. Instead, he said, "It's okay. I'm sure the brothers Sly and Slang are not undercover agents sent by the institute. They really hate the institute and wish to die with Morse."
"Huh? How did you know?" Bai Deng widened his eyes.
Nan Qi's eyes turned, and he said mysteriously: "The mountain insects have their own clever plans. Now, shouldn't we rest?"
Before he finished speaking, Nan Qi turned over and pressed Bai down, smiling lewdly: "My queen, isn't it time for you to fulfill your duties as a queen?"
