Chapter 5: The Dream of a New Home
Tang Liqing was really clever in letting everyone abandon the original communicator, and the Jones people could no longer monitor the signals of the earthlings communicating with each other. Without a signal, the whereabouts of the earthlings are completely unknown. Jones Moon searched many places, but found no trace of them.
"It's been a long time since you've heard the earthlings communicating with each other?" The officer on duty in the control room reported to Samantha.
"For a long time?"
"Yes, for a long time! After about a few days since the bombing of the Earthlings' space cruiser that day, they have not been heard from again. ”
"They've abandoned communicators?"
"Probably," Lehman explained, "their communicator is powered by a host in the dungeon, via their geostationary satellite." Now the dungeon is in our hands, and the geostationary satellites are under our control. They probably thought of this and abandoned the communicator. ”
"Looks like there are a few more brains among them!" Samantha was a little surprised: "However, they no longer communicate with each other, in that case, they are scattered all over the place, and it is difficult to gather again, won't they really become primitive people?" ”
Samantha was not only surprised, but also secretly admired the earthlings. Instead of using the communication system that has been controlled by the Jonesians, it means that the earthlings will lose contact with each other and become a tribe that is difficult to intersect with each other. In this way, it is really a kind of determination that would rather destroy than compromise.
"Actually, that's really good, it's good for us!" Lehman said: "As soon as they disperse, they will not be able to fight even more. Moreover, after another ten or eight years, the materials in their hands will gradually run out, and they will not be able to build any modern factories or anything, they will become real primitive people, except for slash-and-burn cultivation and blood drinking, they will not be able to live. Our troubles were solved! ”
"Well, we really don't have to go out of our way to exterminate them!" "At that point, it's like there's a natural gene pool in the wild, and we'll be able to use it whenever we want!" ”
"I don't think we can be so loose," Jones Moon disagreed, "yes, we have very good cloning technology, enough time, and can afford to wait." However, the children of the earth in our hands are very small now, and when they can come in handy, they will have to wait for ten or eight years, which is not good! ”
Samantha thought about it for a moment and said, "Uh-huh! Jones Moon is right, we still have to get those children of Earth who are outcast! Go ahead, Jones Moon, and you're in charge of finding them and bringing them back! Of course, at least the boys must try to get it back. ”
"It's a bit of a struggle!" Jones Moon smiled wryly. The earthlings who were divided into pieces were scattered into several small groups, and it was not clear which team had children. Now that they are scattered all over the world, it is really not easy to find. But she couldn't help it, she had earned it herself.
"Okay, now Lehman is in charge, and all adult earthlings are under your control. Except for those who need to stay in the dungeon to do chores, the rest are all let them go out of the city to open up wasteland and plant trees! Samantha said: "Of course, the first task is to find out if there are any armed people from the earthlings in the vicinity, and if so, eliminate them immediately." Others, keep a close watch, and let them go as long as they don't get near the dungeon! ”
Samantha is very happy, the current earthlings are almost in the same state as their Jones ancestor advance team after they arrived on Earth. These earthlings have no industry, no technology, no electricity, no means of communication, scattered in the mountains and jungles, just like small tribes of primitive humans, who can no longer hurt the Jonesians. In a few decades, the little modern tools that are still in the hands of the earthlings, such as guns and vehicles, will definitely be consumed, so there is no need to worry about it at all.
Of course, it's too early to say that it's okay to sit back and relax. If she didn't say anything else, she just said that two guards had their necks cut at the door of the restaurant, which made her feel a pimple in her heart. Who is the murderer, is it an earthling? If they were earthlings, how did they get in, and how could they be without a trace? Is it your own person? If it's your own people, it's even more troublesome. This shows that there are people who oppose her hidden among the Jones, that is, the Joneses also have internal troubles.
She had to be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and secretly sent someone to investigate.
Strangely, after that, there was no more movement. It's as if that assassination was done on a whim by a demon in hell, and when it's done, I don't want to do it anymore!
"Mom!"
A soft shout woke Samantha, who was bowing her head and contemplating. She looked up and saw her daughter, Eve, come in.
"What's wrong?" Samantha's face immediately showed a smile and asked kindly, "Is there something wrong with your mother?" ”
"It's fine!" Eve is seventeen years old and a big girl. Unfortunately, she looks like an earthling, not much like a Jonesian. Jones was small and capable, but all of them were sturdy, but Eve was not like that. She looked like she had thin arms and legs, and she was even more slender than the girls of the earthlings.
And what worries her even more is that the development of her body seems to have inherited from the earthlings. Jones generally take forty Earth years to reach sexual maturity, but Eve is clearly not. At the age of seventeen, she is already developed, and if there is a man, she can have children. This state is not the rhythm of the Joneses.
In other words, what Eve embodies is more of the characteristics of earthlings. If so, it is likely that her daughter of Samantha, the daughter of the governor of the Jones, would not have lived for three or five hundred earth years if she had not been cloned, like the true Joneses.
The other children are the same, with a slender body and a weak physique, which is really worrying!
In this way, although there is no reproductive isolation between Jones and earthlings, and there is no problem with genetic docking in general, there are still deep-seated hidden dangers. Moreover, this hidden danger is a problem that Jones people cannot solve with their current level of science and technology.
Thinking of this, Samantha was a little helpless, the mystery of this universe is really difficult to understand. The Earth and Jones's home planet really look similar, but they are only similar. As the saying goes, even if a complete Jones person can reproduce naturally and live on the earth for a few generations, he may become a body with thin arms and legs like an earthling......
"Mom, did you let the earthlings out of the city?" Eve didn't know what her mother was thinking. At her age, she hadn't yet developed the potential to transmit voices.
"No, let them go out and plant trees," Samantha's train of thought was interrupted again by her daughter, who was a little impatient, but didn't show it.
"Can I go along?" Eve would love to go out and check it out. She was born on the mothership, and she stayed on Earth for a short time more than ten years ago, she has no impression, and by the time she can remember, she is still on the mothership.
"Don't go out!" Samantha said sternly: "Those jobs are for these earth minions, what are you doing to make a scene!" ”
"Earth minions? Earthlings are minions? Eve asked, surprised.
"Yes!"
"So," Eve seemed puzzled. Mother once took care of them, to have a good relationship with the children of the earthlings, to be like brothers and sisters. Why do you say that earthlings are minions now: "So, the children of those earthlings are also minions when they grow up?" ”
Samantha froze. Suddenly, she realized, things seemed a little complicated. If so, how will those children of the earth and the children of the Jones people reproduce in the future? Once the idea that earthlings are slaves is instilled in Eve and them, will she be willing to let Eve do that with some earthling boy in the future?
"Alright, don't ask!" Samantha said: "I said that the people who went to work were slaves, not that the children were also slaves...... Let's play! ”
Eve saw that her mother was a little impatient, and did not dare to ask anything more, so she left. Looking at her daughter's back, Samantha shook her head, it seems that this matter has to find a way to justify itself, otherwise it may be a trouble in the future.
She immediately summoned Lehman and told her to come immediately. When Lehman arrived, she ordered her not to let the children go to the city gates in the future, including Eve.
"Why, Governor?" Lehman didn't understand: "Now that the ecology on the earth is improving, let the children go outside to be more active, bask in the sun, and breathe some fresh air, which is good for health!" ”
Samantha told her about the conversation she had just had with Eve, and Lehman was silent. It is indeed difficult to justify saying that the earthlings are slaves, and that those earthlings are not.
"Or else!" Lehman thought for a long time and said, "The earthlings are afraid of wasting time back and forth, so they have built several temporary sheds outside, so that people who go out can spend the night and rest there. We're going to reuse those sheds and let the earthlings live there, so we don't have to go back to the dungeon. ”
"Will they take the opportunity to escape?" Samantha said, "Also, what if an earthling comes and attacks us and rescues their people? ”
"A fence was built around the sheds, and the sheds were enclosed so that the earthlings inside could not enter and leave at will," Lehman said, "and some more housing bunkers and stuff, where our guards could live and watch over them." ”
"Well, that's a solution," Samantha said after a moment's thought, "the walls and the buildings where you live should be stronger, and the perimeter should be equipped with strong firepower just in case." Although the earthlings outside have run away, we still have to be wary of the people who come back to save them. ”
"Okay, I'll ask someone to design a plan and start work as soon as possible!" After Lehman finished speaking, he was just about to leave, when he suddenly thought of something: "Oh, there is another little thing, that Nicole, and Rena, they want to meet you." ”
"Are those two earthlings who took the lead in creating Xu Yun's rebellion?" Samantha asked, "One of them is also a very famous scientist among the earthlings?" ”
"Yes!"
"Do you want to take credit?" Samantha asked with a smile.
"I don't know!" Lehman also smiled: "Do you see it?" ”
"Nope!" Samantha said, "Send them to prison and be with Xu Yunzhi!" “
One by one, the holes are being filled, and the Jones are ready to survive and reproduce their race on Earth, the third planet of the system, in the solar system 500 light-years away from their home planet. This is what their entire race has gone through through a lot of hardships and dangers, spent tens of millions of years, and sacrificed most of its members in exchange!
Jones's dream of a new home is gradually becoming a reality.
