Mu Chen inspected the three aid projects in the Andromeda galaxy and determined the progress of the projects, and was generally satisfied.

"I'm afraid it will take one to two years to complete the project of rebuilding Wind Spirit Star, which is still a conservative estimate." Chief Engineer Wang pointed to the large construction spaceship that was busy over there and reported to Mu Chen.

"After solving the problem of spirit stones, we will have enough time to build this artificial planet as perfectly as possible, without rushing too much." Mu Chen said with a smile, "How is the progress on the Wind Attribute Star City?" ”

"It's going well, the construction of the infrastructure has been completed, and then it depends on whether it can be suitable for the life of the Wind Spirit Clan, but it will take some time to do the final commissioning, and it will be delivered in about a month."

"Good work." Mu Chen patted the other party's shoulder and said.

"By the way, those five elemental girls have now begun to learn the relevant content of artificial spirit stones, Academician Hu is very satisfied with them, and everyone says that the elemental clan is the best student." Chief Engineer Wang added with a smile.

"After all, the talents are carefully selected from all the elemental clansmen, and they still have some potential." Mu Chen said as a matter of course, but he didn't know that things were far from what he imagined.

Linglong and they completely relied on tenacious perseverance, and memorized all the basic theories, not to mention that the real quantitative change caused the qualitative change, and after the careful guidance of Academician Hu and several people, it was finally considered to be a beginner.

And these five little girls with sweet mouths like honey also coaxed a group of researchers into obedience, and Academician Hu even accepted Linglong as his goddaughter, which shows their current popularity.

I don't know what Academician Hu's reaction will be if he finds out that his godgranddaughter is older than him, Mu Chen is a little looking forward to seeing that scene.

"Thundering Star has given us two Alama metal mines, which have been handed over, they are both rich mines, which can be mined for at least 50 years, go back and build the mine and mine it as soon as possible, the Earth Federation is very urgent need for this rare metal." Mu Chen instructed seriously.

"Don't worry, the mine can be completed in three days, and as soon as the mining equipment is commissioned, it can be mined immediately."

Mu Chen thought for a while and reminded: "I will leave the mining team to you in charge, coordinate the relationship with the Thunder Spirit Clan, try not to cause friction, there is a fleet stationed here in the Andromeda Galaxy, if necessary, you can ask them for help, let the Federation fleet come over to help maintain order." ”

Chief Engineer Wang also said seriously: "I understand, it will be foolproof." ”

Mu Chen didn't want to destroy the friendly relationship with the elemental people because of mining, you must know that after having the artificial spirit stone, the strength of the elemental people increased exponentially, especially the combat power of the Thunder Spirit Clan, which was strong and terrifying, and was almost invincible on the Thunder Spirit Star.

The relationship between the Earth Federation and the Elementals is currently in the honeymoon phase, and no one wants anything to happen.

……

After explaining the affairs of the Andromeda Galaxy, Mu Chen piloted the fighter plane and returned to Earth alone.

I thought I could rest at home for a day, but as soon as the fighter plane entered the solar system, Alice's call request came.

"Coming back?" Alice asked with a smile on her face.

"Can I hide it from you if I don't come back?" Mu Chen said angrily.

Although Alice already has an entity, she still has a certain ability to control the mastermind, so Mu Chen's itinerary can't hide from her eyes at all.

"Hee-hee, don't people care about you......" Alice said coquettishly.

"Less, I still don't know you? There must be something you need me to help with again. ”

"Oh, who are the two of us, helping me is not the same as helping yourself." Alice said with a smile.

Indeed, Mu Chen's fleet can have the current strength, and it is inseparable from the clone warriors provided by Alice, this kind of warrior has higher obedience and stronger combat quality, and it is very easy to use.

"Tell me, what's going on this time? Let's start with it, the Earth Federation has been spending a lot of money recently, and I can't come up with any money to support you. ”

"Oh, I'm not asking you for money." Alice said embarrassedly.

The secret base located in the deep mountains and dense forests is thanks to Mu Chen's support, otherwise it would not have the scale it has today, but the investment is indeed too large, so that Mu Chen subconsciously felt a little painful as soon as he received a call from Alice.

"It's good that you don't want money, but the House of Representatives doesn't investigate the whereabouts of the funds, otherwise I'm afraid I'll have to sit through the prison." Mu Chen couldn't help but have a headache when he thought of the star elements he had embezzled.

"Don't worry, my secret base is attached to the bottom of the Federation Fleet, and all procedures can withstand the investigation, and there will be no mistakes." Alice patted her chest and reassured.

Mu Chen shook his head with a smile, and didn't say anything more, Alice didn't understand a truth, the truth could not be hidden forever, and the things she had done would be revealed sooner or later.

And the secret construction of the clone experimental base can be regarded as the only key point on Mu Chen's body, if the political enemy really uses this matter to attack him, even if it is Lord Death, he will be very embarrassed.

After all, until now, earthlings have still not been able to fully accept the existence of human cloning, especially those Christians who believe in God, who believe that this is a blasphemous act and resolutely resist human cloning research.

This also led to the fact that until now, Mu Chen did not dare to openly admit that the Earth Federation had used the clone army, but only forged the identities of these clones to allow them to integrate into this society as much as possible.

Fortunately, the clones understand this, and even they themselves are reluctant to disclose the identity of the clones, mainly because they are afraid that the earthlings will discriminate against them as creatures produced on the assembly line.

This concern is justified, even in the 22nd century, the problem of racial discrimination has not been completely resolved, there are still many discriminatory statements against people of color, and in a country that advocates human rights, there are even frequent shootings against black people.

Mu Chen knew that this was not a long-term solution, but he really couldn't think of a good way, so he could only acquiesce to the practice of cloning.

"Let's get straight ahead, what the hell is going on?" Mu Chen asked.

"I told you not to be angry...... Alice said precautionally.

"Then it depends on what you say." Mu Chen hugged his hands and said that he was not fooled.

"......" Alice hesitated for a moment, her face a little nervous: "I, I want to imitate the consciousness model of the mechanical people and build a collective consciousness library for the clones, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

This was the idea that Alice came up with after carefully studying the cybani, and after hesitating for a long time, she decided to ask Mu Chen's permission.

Mu Chen's brows furrowed, and he thought quickly.

The collective consciousness of the mechanical people is convenient, which is equivalent to having a Skynet that can communicate through consciousness, and all members of the tribe can share the knowledge and ideas of others, just like sharing the same brain.

If the clones have this collective consciousness pool, the newborn clones can save a lot of learning time, and from the moment they are born, they will have mature thinking and skilled technical skills, and I have to say that the benefits are still great.

And sharing the same brain, which leads to no privacy between each other, and there is no conflict, you can't lose your temper with yourself, right? Such clones would be more united and stronger.

But this is a big problem, if these clones want to overthrow human rule one day in the future, or try to change the existing rules, then the earthlings will have no advantage at all.

For example, clones who always have a collective consciousness are equivalent to storing a huge amount of knowledge in their minds, and their personalities will be more mature and stable, and they will have more advantages than ordinary humans in all aspects.

"I have to say that the collective consciousness pool is a good thing, but I am worried about the future fate of humanity, if the clones rebel, humanity will not be able to survive." Mu Chen truthfully expressed his concerns.

"Forget it...... Alice said with some disappointment, and she understood that Mu Chen's worries were justified.

"Let's put this matter aside for a while, let me think about it." Mu Chen said softly, not wanting to affect his relationship with Alice because of this incident.

"Well, I'm not in a hurry......" Alice smiled a little reluctantly.

After all, Alice herself is a clone, and Mu Chen is worried that clones will be bad for humans in the future, doesn't it mean that he doesn't believe in himself?
