34 seeds

After the explosion of the spaceship carrying the clones, panic not only invaded the Minerva, but also reacted with the psychology of some people in power on Earth, although the risks had been considered before, the explosion caused these people to lose their minds all of a sudden.

The result was a number of seemingly plausible but contrary to the original design intent of the project, the most influential of which was the conversion of the five manned spacecraft under construction into armed spacecraft, which were originally planned to evacuate some of the elite of human civilization, including the relatives of the members of the Minerva space station. Of course, Miller and Gao Jie's relatives are still on the evacuation list and are placed on other ships. The relatives of the other members were completely deprived of the opportunity to evacuate.

This means the betrayal of the Earth authorities against the other members of the Minerva space station.

Miller understands the reason for the action of the Earth authorities: considering the loss of the clone operator due to the explosion of the spaceship, the advancement of the "Star Project 4.0" will encounter changes, and it is very likely that the "new human civilization" will not be harvested in time, once they develop into a super civilization, then the fugitives of the Earth civilization will face not colonizing alien planets after passing through the wormhole, but colonial wars, or even wars of symmetrical strength. In this way, five armed ships are indeed an urgent need.

But, betrayal is betrayal after all.

Earth's reply asks Miller to keep the contents tight-lipped and forbid anyone else to know about them, including Gao Jie, as well as Wang Chen and Mike, who are about to pass through the wormhole.

At this time, the commander had no choice, his own son could be evacuated was already the highest manifestation of the trust that the earth had in him, and if he was stupid at this time, it would not only be those relatives who would be sacrificed, but also everyone on the entire Minerva. He carefully deleted Earth's reply, and before leaving, he double-checked all communications to make sure they left no trace before leaving the communications room.

Sadly, there are still people who know about this through special means.

On the Minerva space station, it has been ...... No, the seeds of rebellion have long been planted.

……

On July 13, after two weeks of adaptation, Wang Chen and Mike returned to the Minerva space station, during which they tested the Watchman's communications, radar detection, self-cleaning repair, propulsion power, medical treatment, and AI interaction, and the results showed that its level far surpassed that of Minerva. In the storage room, the two also found a large number of books made of special materials, mostly world classics, but also history, encyclopedias, and entertainment books. The electronic memory also contains audiovisual materials and video games from all eras, more than on the Minerva. In this way, even if you live here for a long time, you won't feel bored.

The two of them did not forget to explore the "capsule system", and from another hatch in the upper compartment of the Watchman, the cruising ship was reached, and there were indeed four hibernation pods inside, and there were complete controls. From the back of the cruiser, the towing bracket was accessed, and its narrow tubular passage forced the two men to crawl forward, but inside, like the Watcher, they were able to reach the nearest "capsule" thanks to the same oxygen-rich environment and fluorescent guidance.

To the surprise of Wang Chen and Mike, the inside of the "capsule" is very spacious, and the two of them feel like a beetle entering a can, and there is also an independent lighting and operation board, which can manually control the power unit to complete the process of falling off the towing frame or taking off from the planet. The 3D printer that produces the nanobots is installed between the inner and outer walls and cannot be seen. As for the nanobots, the two were not interested in watching them, because Ryan had already shown them toys with similar principles.

However, there is still one thing in the "capsule" that has attracted Wang Chen's attention, that is, the embryo culture medium known as the "gene bomb". Unexpectedly, it was much smaller than Wang Chen had imagined, each one only the size of a soda bottle, but there were thousands of such media in the capsule. Judging from the above labels, not all the culture media are labeled with human DNA, but more are the genes of animals, insects and plants that he is familiar with, which is undoubtedly essential considering the "terraforming" work that the unknown planet on the other side of the wormhole may face.

The two sincerely admired the pinnacle of the wisdom of human civilization in front of them, and also sighed that the help of N star technology to mankind allowed them to appreciate the charm of future technology in advance.

Bottom line: The Warden and the "capsule system" were built flawlessly.

……

The duo's return was welcomed by the station's members, who had already learned that they would be walking through the wormhole with the Watcher, and the words of thanks and praise had long since overwhelmed them. The members of the space station asked the two about the Watchman and the "capsule system", and the two answered truthfully, and also praised the new generation of AI on the Watcher.

"Won't you two feel lonely?" This is a question that many people are concerned about.

Wang Chen always replied with a smile: "Don't worry about loneliness, there are books, movies, and games on the space station...... The most important thing is that we are not two, the clone Sevia will go with us. ”

"Oh? Are you going to bring Sevia's survival pod? It was an indispensable piece of equipment for him. Lucien asked.

"No, no, there are two identical survival pods on the Watchmen." Wang Chen replied.

"Oh, that's great! There are two, taking into account the spare. Lucien said with satisfaction.

Silka is concerned with the question of books: "What language are those books in?" ”

"Chinese languages." Mike replied succinctly...... Actually, there was no answer.

"What's the movie?" You don't have to guess this question to know that Ryan raised it.

"Both." Mike went on to say that his serious response amused the crowd.

……

After coping with many questions, Wang Chen and Mike found the commander to report to the work, in short, everything went well, just waiting for the news to arrive in August.

"Oh, yes." Miller said, "As for the request made by the two of you, the Earth side has already agreed to it after considering it. ”

"Incredible." "Great, Commander!" The two were overjoyed, Wang Chen held Miller's hand and said excitedly: "It's not easy to convince them, thank you, Miller." ”

Miller responded humbly: "Actually, I didn't do anything, they were unexpectedly good at talking this time, so you don't have to be burdened, then adjust well, just wait for the result of the interception." ”

"Understood." "Yes."

After the two left, Miller hid his face with his hands, and there was a cramp in his heart, but there was a hint of happiness: "If they were as cautious as Gao (Jie), this matter would be much more difficult." ”

……

The atmosphere of the space station eased a lot after the return of the two, but unfortunately this relaxing time was always short-lived, and after entering August, people's nerves tensed again, nervous and fearful waiting for the arrival of "news".

At noon on August 13, Miller found Wang Chen and Mike and told them a very important matter: "This matter must be said in advance, after you and Sevia go through the wormhole together, remember to erase his memories regularly." ”

"Why?"

"Before I explain why, I'll teach you how to do it, follow me." Miller led the two to Research Room 3, where the clone Sevia's survival pod was located. This survival pod allows Sevia to achieve immortality, and we already know that there are two of the same survival pods on the Watcher.

In Research Room 3, Sevia lay quietly in the survival module, as if asleep. Next to the survival module, Lucien was debugging the equipment.

"Hello! Wang, Mike, and the Commander. Seeing the three of them come in, Lucien greeted him.

Miller got straight to the point: "I want to teach two friends how to use this survival pod to make our clones amnesia, is it convenient now?" ”

"Of course, but I have a better proposal," said Lucien with a smile, "and now that I'm doing the work, you see that Sevia is already lying in it, so let me guide you." ”

"Okay, it just so happens that I'm going to listen to Sylka's report as well." Miller turned to Wang Chen and Mike and said, "You must learn this, or something will go wrong." With that, Miller hurried away.

"What's the big problem he's talking about? Why erase Sevia's memory? Wang Chen asked in confusion.

Lucien's originally smiling face suddenly became serious, and he explained, "The commander is right, I will explain to you—

"—a way to prevent the collapse of Sevia."
