Chapter 153: Clone

While the two were facing each other silently in the negotiation room, Lu Yeshan arrived at the alien management center.

The dean walked over and helped Lu Yeshan up: "Old cripple, you came quite quickly."

Lu Yeshan glanced at him and whispered, "Is he in there?"

"I'm talking to Shen Ranxin." The dean said, "Who do you think will win?"

Lu Yeshan didn't say anything. The dean started to talk: "Have you seen Shen Ziqing's face in all these years? I saw him when he went in just now."

Lu Yeshan turned his head: "What do you mean?"

"We are all old, but he is not." The dean looked into Lu Yeshan's eyes and whispered, "He is still exactly the same as before, without any change."

The two fell into a long silence, and Lu Yeshan whispered a swear word.

"You also think he's crazy, don't you?" The dean said, "If Wei Huizhi were still here, he would probably slap him twice."

Inside the negotiation room, Shen Ziqing's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip. A huge pressure was spreading from all directions. Shen Ranxin sat on the main seat with a calm expression.

"Who allowed you to do this?" Shen Ziqing's cheeks trembled unconsciously, and it can be seen that his anger has reached its peak: "Shen Ranxin, you are really my good son."

"Thank you." Shen Ranxin tilted his head: "So, what is the result of our negotiation?"

Shen Ziqing sat down and spoke after a while: "I do have a way to save Lu Zhi's life, but Pei Zhao and Lu Yeshan will not agree to this method. Even Lu Zhi himself will not agree to it, and the Federation will not agree to it either."

Shen Ranxin's face turned serious: "Tell me about it."

Shen Ziqing smiled and said, "Don't you want to know how I maintain my current appearance? In my laboratory, there are countless clones cultivated using my cells."

Shen Ranxin suddenly clenched his hands on the table.

This technology is actually the same as the technology used by the Federation to cultivate organs, but there is obviously a big difference. The Federation only produces organs, while Shen Ziqing produces a complete person.

This clearly violates the Federation's interstellar ethics laws.

From ancient times to the present, the existence of cloned humans has never been allowed. After all, a creature cloned from cells is not ethically considered a "human".

If the existence of clones is legalized, it will be an uncontrollable blow to existing laws and balances, and will also have a huge impact on social ethics.

"Lu Zhi's current condition is because his glands are too advanced. A normal body cannot bear this kind of energy from glands. The solution to this problem is very simple." Shen Ziqing stretched out his hand and gestured: "It's like putting a corrosive substance in a bottle. Over the years, the bottle will naturally be corroded. At this time, if you want to keep this liquid, the most direct way is to change to a new bottle."

The expression on his face was one of normalcy, as if this wasn't a big deal.

Shen Ranxin pursed her lips and said nothing.

After a while, he said with difficulty: "According to you, what is the longest service life of a replica?"

"Twenty-seven years." Shen Ziqing said, "This is after Lu Zhi's glands have been suppressed and weakened. If the glands recover on their own in the future, the time limit will become shorter and shorter."

Shen Ranxin didn't say anything.

Shen Ziqing seemed very happy to see this painful expression on Shen Ranxin's face. He held his chin and stared at his face: "What choice do you want to make? Think about it and then answer me."

An hour passed and Lu Yeshan became impatient waiting outside, so he raised his hand to push open the door of the negotiation room.

The next moment, the door was opened from the inside and Shen Ziqing's face appeared before him.

Lu Yeshan looked at this face, stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "Shen, Zi, Qing."

Shen Ziqing narrowed his eyes and smiled: "You look very angry, my old friend."

"Catch him." Lu Yeshan said in a gloomy voice, "From now on, you will never have the chance to step out of the Alien Management Center again."

Shen Ziqing raised his hands, and people around him quickly handcuffed him and took him away.

He cooperated very well throughout the whole process and had no intention of resisting at all.

Shen Ranxin then came out. Pei Zhao immediately stood up and looked at Shen Ranxin with concern: "What did you talk about in there? Is there any way for him to save Lu Zhi?"

"..." Shen Ranxin opened his mouth, but paused.

According to Shen Ziqing, Pei Zhao and Lu Yeshan would indeed not agree with this method.

"Let me think about it." Shen Ranxin whispered, "Let me think about it."

"If the method he said is to clone people." Lu Yeshan stared at him and saw through Shen Ranxin's entanglement at a glance: "Just treat it as him farting."

The dean was stunned for a moment, then reacted and immediately started cursing at Shen Ziqing's back, then turned around and looked at Shen Ranxin: "Don't believe his nonsense!"

Shen Ranxin looked at the dean: "So, this method works, right?"

Lu Yeshan interrupted him: "It works. It's simple and crude but effective. But do you think that the 'Lu Zhi' who was rescued is still 'Lu Zhi'?"

There will be more later, so you can go to sleep first and watch it when you get up tomorrow. Good night!
