28 list

We won't go into a long narrative about the ethical debate about human cloning, we just need to know that the Earth "produced" some clones when preparing for versions 2.0 and 3.0 of the "Star Project" for dangerous human experiments or some high-risk operations, and the specific "production" numbers were classified as top secret.

Wang Chen was not surprised to hear the word cloning, he thought that before the current crisis, even gene editing could be done, and human cloning was certainly not a problem. But he was still a little curious-

"And how old is this Sevia? At most, I can't be ten years old. Wang Chen inferred from the incident.

"You may not believe it," Ryan said solemnly, "but Sevia is only two years old, but he's like an adult, and I've heard that it's gene-editing...... It seems that there are also the results of the joint creation of N star technology, I thought these would only appear in science fiction novels or movies, but now they have all come true! Even if Ryan said it so exaggeratedly, Wang Chen no longer felt fresh, since there were all N star technology involved, it would not be unusual for anything to happen.

"And what about his personal abilities?" Wang Chen is more concerned about these.

"Intelligence and physical strength are above average, I know four languages, including Chinese, I can communicate with him in English and French, and he is very responsive." Ryan's tone carried a hint of admiration.

"That's really ...... Wait a minute! He's on the space station?! Wang Chen suddenly reacted.

"yes. Don't you know? Sevia arrived with the supply ship late last year, and his genes were edited to be under the command of the commander, but he is now developing control commands under Silka. ”

"So he can control N-particles, too?"

"Yes, and the control is beyond my friend Mike, causing Mike to be kicked out of the development team." Ryan said with a little disappointment.

"Hehe, I see." Wang Chen thought of what Mike said before, and probably understood the reason for this.

At this time, the space station AI broadcast voice: "Please gather in the public cabin within five minutes." ”

"It's time for us to go." Ryan said.

……

After three years of separation, the scene of everyone gathering in the public cabin did not bring any strangeness to Wang Chen, it was still Minerva, and it was still those familiar companions - but he did not see Syrka and Lucien, Wang Chen guessed that they were still going to carry out the command development, so they did not show up.

After Commander Miller had silenced everyone, he asked everyone to stand and observe a moment of silence in memory of their unfortunate Italian companion. When everyone was seated, Miller made an important announcement: "Friends, the United Nations Space Command finally set the timetable for the rest yesterday, and although it is very likely that they will revise it, at least we have a reference." They also sent the 'good news' that considering the imminent invasion of the Nt fleet would cause immeasurable damage, the Earth side had developed a huge escape plan that was expected to transport 10,000 people to the wormhole - of course we all hope that this will not happen. They have provided a spaceship with a capacity of 50 people to evacuate our families, so you can choose two relatives to avoid this human apocalypse with you, and the specific conditions of the personnel will be sent to your PDA in a while, please strictly abide by it, and the time to consider the candidates is for a month, and the list will be handed over to me by May 10 at the latest, during which each person is allowed to communicate with their families 1 time. Everyone, choose carefully. ”

Miller's words froze the air in the room, and even the sound of breathing died down. Some people lowered their heads and pursed their lips in contemplation, others raised their heads and stared at the sky, and for most of the people here, it would be difficult to sleep tonight.

"As for the next timeline, we need to know the following nodes: first of all, in the middle of next month, it is expected that between May 16 and 20, the Nt fleet will reach the first line of defense set up by the 'Earth Defense Program', and then we will also get the results of the interception operation...... If the interception fails, then according to the current forecast, the Nt fleet will reach the second line of defense at the end of August, and if the interception fails again, then in mid-January next year, the third and final line of defense will be reached, and if it fails again...... "Everyone's hearts are in their throats, "There will be no obstruction between the Nt fleet and the earth, they will start to slow down and reach the earth in September." So, if the third interception fails, the 'Human Escape Project' will be activated, and the escape ship will fly away from Earth with 10,000 people and arrive at us in six months. ”

"What about Project Swarm?" Wang Chen asked loudly.

"After the launch of the escape spacecraft, the Stellar Project will continue to be executed, but if there is no result that can solve the Nt fleet by May 1, 2104 AD, the Stellar Project will be terminated, the escape will be set to be irreversible, and humanity will officially become cosmic refugees after this day. ……”

Miller said some miscellaneous and miscellaneous content, and at the same time instructed Wang Chen's technical team to do a good job of assembling the "Watchman" and "Capsule System" modules after the arrival of the module next month, and then announced that everyone was disbanded. Several people gathered around and asked Miller about the list of relatives, and some people thought that there was still room for discussion about the number of places between the two, but no matter what the problem, Miller sent them away with "go back and see the details on the PDA". Mike also stepped forward to find Miller, and he said a little dullly, "You see, I'm alone, and I'm giving a place to someone else. ”

Miller replied with a smile: "I appreciate your style, but the requirements are clear, there are a maximum of two places per person, and the extra will be filled by a list on Earth - I heard that list is too long." In the last sentence, there is a hint of helplessness.

Mike wanted to insist, but was pulled away by Ryan who was passing by, and the two left the public cabin with Wang Chen. Ryan advised Mike, "The commander is doing what he is told, don't bother him." ”

"But I ......"

"Mike, we have an old Chinese saying that 'don't suffer from the few, but suffer from inequality', and your kind deeds will cause unnecessary disputes and suspicions among some people, and fair distribution will avoid these."

"Do you hear that, this is the wisdom of the ancients, you can accept it." Ryan half-jokingly.

As the three of them spoke, they happened to pass by the No. 1 research room, and Wang Chen suddenly remembered something and walked in—but he didn't find what he expected.

"Where's the 'butler'?" Wang Chen asked, "Butler" is a small intelligent multi-functional robot, and it is also the carrier of N-star consciousness.

A look of loss appeared on Ryan's face, and he replied, "N star consciousness, it's gone." ”

——

Under Wang Chen's questioning, Ryan told the story of the disappearance of N consciousness.

On September 7, 2100, Wang Chen and 12 other people have been in the hibernation capsule for half a year, and the non-hibernators are doing their daily routine as always, and the commander Miller will also greet the N star consciousness every day, but this day's greeting, I didn't hear the response of the characteristic electronic tone of the "housekeeper". After repeated attempts to no avail, Miller called a technician to check on it, and the result was that everything was normal with the "butler", but the N-star consciousness never responded.

The people who were at a loss brought the metal block that originally carried the consciousness of the N-star people and put it next to the "butler", but there was no response. After many verifications, the "housekeeper" robot has been confirmed to have no problems and can work normally.

So there are the following possibilities: first, it doesn't want to answer; Two, it's no longer the butler, and three, it's dead—poof! Ryan put his finger to his mouth and blew, his fingers swaying repeatedly in front of him with the breath, as a way to lament the incredulity of the N-star consciousness.

"Did you disappear out of thin air...... Wang Chen muttered to himself.

Mike said coldly, "Its mission is accomplished." The implication is that the N-star consciousness that has completed the mission believes that there is no need for it to continue to exist, so it dissipates itself.

"The commander is the same as he thinks." Ryan pointed to Mike and said to Wang Chen.

"That is to say...... What did we do right? Wang Chen asked with some expectation.

"Don't be superstitious about this," Ryan said in a rare seriousness, he felt that Wang Chen's reaction was a little ridiculous, "The disappearance of the consciousness of the N star people like this does not mean anything, don't speculate about things that we can't verify." ”

"It's not like the way you speak."

"What do I act like?"

"And where is the 'butler' now?"

"It's in the warehouse under the disc, and no one dares to use it."

Thinking of the N-star consciousness ending up like this, Wang Chen couldn't help but sigh, although he didn't communicate much with the N-star consciousness, he always felt that it was a pity to lose a "space station member" like this.

What's even more regrettable is that he lost his beloved before......

"Ahh Wang Chen suddenly shouted, startling the two people next to him, and he quickly explained, "I'm going back to work." ”

"Let's go!" Ryan and Mike saw that Wang Chen was not unusual, so they relieved themselves.

In this way, Wang Chen experienced the first day after waking up from hibernation.
