While there is still one colonist asleep in the strict sense of the word, there is no doubt that the X-0172 germ crisis has been resolved.

In the face of pheromones that can make it unmount its defenses, stubborn spores are no longer a stubborn disease that is difficult to eliminate.

On the 3rd day of the good news from the Moon Palace back to Earth, that is, on the 33rd day of the mission, Lu Zhou, who was working at the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, received a pop-up window from the system.

[Congratulations to the host, complete the urgent mission!] 】

[Mission Completion: In the past 30 days, life on Earth has faced the greatest threat since prehistory.] Fortunately, in the face of knowledge, all crises are eventually averted. Congratulations on finding a way to coexist, and as part of your historical experience, the decisions you make today will allow the Earth's civilization to stand more together in the face of future challenges......]

[Mission Evaluation: A+]

[Reward: Instant Experience Pack (1-??? disciplinary experience), the Order of the Rescuer of Civilization. (Earth Civilization Materialist Tradition +10)]

Lu Zhou: "......?" ”

Maybe it's because of the help of the system, or maybe it's because there is another infected person who hasn't been rescued, resulting in a mission evaluation of only A+.

But that's not the point, and he's not particularly obsessed with S+ rewards.

What really made him not know how to complain was, what the hell is this "Medal of Civilized Rescuer"?

He has won so many awards over the years, and this is the first time he has won an award from the system.

What the hell is this thing for? Can I redeem points or experience?

Clicking open the inventory with a confused expression, Lu Zhou soon saw the medal lying quietly in the inventory.

I saw a pale golden starlight wrapped around the prismatic medallion, opposite an inverted triangular metal base below. As if attracted by some kind of magnetic force, the whole medal looks like it has been cut into two parts, but it is as close as a whole.

At the back of the entire medal, there is also a red and blue ribbon, although it is not clear what material it is made of, but it intuitively gives people a feeling of great value.

“…… Is it maglevit? Or is it a force field or something? ”

Lu Zhou took the medal out of the inventory with great interest and played with it, and then clicked on the instructions on the side of the inventory.

[Medals awarded by (REDACTED) are among the highest honors for individuals of inferior civilization in accordance with the (REDACTED) Conventions signed in the year (REDACTED).] Normally, if the immigration channel is open, the lower civilization individuals can obtain the full citizenship of the higher civilization world through this medal......]

[Note: The medal has a built-in anti-counterfeiting device, which is non-removable, non-reversible, and non-scanning.] 】

“…… It always felt like this medal was revealing some terrible secret.

Staring at the caption on the right side of the inventory, a thoughtful expression appeared on Lu Zhou's face.

According to the grammar, the deleted content is a subject, an adverbial, and a definite. Originally, he had speculated that the system was probably the creation of a higher civilization or organization that translated it was called "Future", but now it seemed that things were much more complicated than she had imagined.

After thinking about it for a long time, Lu Zhou finally gave up and shook his head.

Although he cares a lot about what is being deleted, I think that since the system has chosen to keep it secret from him now, there must be a reason to do so.

At least for now, the intention shown by the system is not malicious, and it can even be said that it is very careful to protect the growth of him and even the civilization of the earth.

Maybe it's just not the right time?

Lu Zhou believes that as he continues to dig deeper, raise all levels to LV10, and unlock the options of [Future Era] and [Megastructure Project], sooner or later, the secrets hidden behind the system will be revealed......

Putting the medal back in his inventory, Lu Zhou reached out and selected the object with another treasure chest icon in the inventory.

As the [Open] button was pressed, soon a string of wicked little stars popped out of the open gift bag and slammed into his face, making him subconsciously take half a step back.

However, Lu Zhou soon discovered that these little stars were not physical, just something similar to a holographic projection.

Immediately after that, a pale blue dialog box appears on the screen.

[Congratulations to the host, 300,000 physics experience!] 】

"Obviously I completed a biological task, but I got experience in physics? Is this a hint that I should go back to physics? ”

Lu Zhou shook his head with a smile, stretched out his hand and slid it on the screen.

The updated properties panel was quickly presented in front of him.

"Mathematics L8, Physics LV7...... Millions of experience caps, I don't know if the next upgrade will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey. ”

Looking at the explosive growth data, Lu Zhou casually closed the attribute panel, opened the taskbar and glanced at it.

After confirming that the chain of tasks that had been locked had been re-lit, he closed his eyes and muttered the system.

When he opened his eyes again, consciousness had returned to the dean's office.

Leaning back in the chair and resting for a while, sorting out the information in his head, just as Lu Zhou sat up and prepared to continue working, there was a knock at the door.

"Please come in."

The door was pushed open, and it was Professor Liu Zuobing who appeared at the door.

I saw him walk into the office with an experimental report on his face, and while walking in the direction of the desk, he opened his mouth to report the good news to Lu Zhou.

"The experiment was a success!"

"The 18S-rDNA gene fragment is very compatible with X-0172 bacteria, and we have successfully transcribed the special proteins and amino acid-like derivatives we need!"

"If nothing else, our project will be closed in another month!"

After receiving the experiment report from Professor Liu Zuobing's hand, Lu Zhou glanced at it briefly, and then nodded with satisfaction.

"Well done...... It's been a hard time for you. ”

"What's so hard about this, we are studying this direction in the first place, but I have to thank you for giving us such good conditions," Professor Liu Zuobing smiled, and at this moment, he suddenly remembered something, so he said, "By the way, when I was analyzing the genome of X-0172 bacteria, I found something interesting. ”

Lu Zhou: "What's the matter?" ”

"How so? Maybe it's just my delusion......" After a moment's hesitation, Professor Liu continued, "The genome of this thing always gives me a feeling that I don't know whether to say it's a coincidence or a compact, and it doesn't seem like it evolved naturally. ”

Didn't evolve?

When he heard this, Lu Zhou was slightly stunned, and his eyebrows gradually wrinkled.

"Didn't it evolve naturally? That's ......."

In the middle of his sentence, he suddenly stopped.

In an instant, he thought of a possibility......

Looking at the expression on Lu Zhou's face that gradually fell into contemplation, Professor Liu Zuobing nodded.

"Well, it's kind of a choreographed artificiality."
