Chapter 129: No One Lives Forever (Part I)

Ke Junxia only has a mutated heart left, and he is still alive.

The outer shell of the heart looks similar to the structure of a stone, but in fact it is more like bone, strong, porous, and even able to draw nutrients from the surrounding environment to provide to the heart to maintain the vitality of the heart.

The biggest problem now is how to make Ke Junxia return alive and completely.

All of them are pessimistic about this.

Although theoretically it is possible, for example, to apply cloning and regeneration technology. But there are three major difficulties with this technique.

First, cloning and regeneration technology is preserved as a cultural heritage of the classical earth, rather than applied medicine, and countless disabled people apply for cloning and regeneration treatment every year, but they are rejected because there is no basis in the law.

Second, researchers in cloning and regeneration technology have only theoretical research, and no more than forty cases have been used for real experimental operations for hundreds of years; Even if it is passed legally, it is still unknown whether it will succeed.

Third, although the Wildlife Science and Technology Association claims that the heart also has a person's complete personality memory ability, Ke Junxia's brain has been lost, who dares to guarantee that the person who is restored through cloning is Ke Junxia?

Irina successfully separated the heart from the carrion, and then cultivated the heart in a container, soaked in a life support liquid, but she found that the vitality of the heart was gradually declining, that is, a decision on whether to clone and repair the heart must be made in a very short time, and since the cloning and regeneration technology is kept in the territory of the main body of the landing spaceship, that is, the territory of the steel city-state, it will take some time for various diplomatic procedures.

After careful consideration, Irina proposed to give up saving Shi Xin, because Shi Xin's vitality was less than a hundred hours left, and it would take at least six months to get a reply after all kinds of formalities, rather than this, it was better to let Ke Junxia die peacefully and completely, and also save a lot of resources, which was also in line with the terms of the charter left by Ke Junxia earlier.

Irina's proposal was supported by most of the people at the core meeting, but it was strongly opposed at the middle level, especially the die-hard members of Yu Niang and Kolina. Although some of these people also knew that the rescue of Ke Junxia was basically a waste of resources, they still had to insist on doing their best. Even the Chief Justice Gordon, who has never been interested in business, organized a legal committee to study the law all night, hoping to find a legal basis for cloning and reusing it in medical practice.

It can only be said that standing on a different level, looking at things from a different perspective leads to different results. Generally speaking, senior leaders usually see the big picture, while those below the middle level value emotions.

Due to the failure to do a good job of secrecy in the early stage, the news that Ke Junxia's stone heart was found spread quickly, and after the catastrophe, a hero was needed to support the scene, so Ke Junxia became this hero by chance.

Although more than 100,000 people still died in the metropolis flood and war, it was still far from the previous forecast of 300,000 people, and it was not completely successful, but it added to the color of Ke Junxia's tragic hero. During this period, coupled with some people's personal political considerations, in less than 20 hours, some representatives of the victims typed "I am willing to exchange my last piece of black bread for the return of heroes"

Petitions, donations, and letters of self-nomination piled up in Fort Town.

The executive meeting of Fort Town really can't withstand such a big pressure, after all, there are more rescue and containment work that everyone needs to do now, and they can't focus on this kind of heroic. What's more, many of them are just for themselves. Just the "surviving person" who claims to have had a dewy marriage with Ke Junxia is about to reach three digits.

The executive meeting decided to start the application for cloning and regeneration, and Yu Niang served as the chairman, which was also an honor considering her and Ke Junxia's status.

With Yu Niang charging ahead, the rest of the executive meeting can finally free up their hands, the disaster relief of the disaster, the containment of the containment, the toast of the toast, and the brewing of beer.

Yu Niang recruited a diplomatic team and hired Hina as an assistant to do the cloning and regeneration application, while Corina guarded the laboratory every day, guarding the stone heart. This was originally Irina's job, but as a core member of the executive meeting, she had her own organization Green Leaf to manage, and she was so busy all day that she didn't even have time to sleep, so this job had to be handed over to Colina.

However, Irina debugged all the equipment well, and Colina's job was to make observations every day, fill in the records, and then take some photos and send them to the customs.

During this time, many "pilgrimage groups" came from outside the fortress walls to pay homage to this great heart.

Of course, Fort Town can't just say it, but it can't be completely unkind, so it releases some news about Shixin every day to fool around.

On the third day after Stone Heart returned to Fort Town, Corina suddenly rushed to Irina's back to the laboratory, because Stone Heart was observed to have the first pathological spasm on the instrument, which indicated that Stone Heart was rapidly dying.

But Irina also brought back a piece of news: now Ke Junxia's reputation is on par with that of the artillery god back then, and even the steel city-state, which has always been cold and conservative, has also said that it urges the review to be speeded up and strive to complete the review within two months.

Kelina was unmoved when she heard the news, because Shixin's survival time was only a hundred hours, even if Irina thought of some ways to extend the time, but what was the difference between two months and half a year?

But this is not a problem, the key is that even if Ke Junxia successfully clones and regenerates, his memory will return to normal, but now he has become a demigod-like figure, is this what he wants?

Irina thought about the question, too, but she thought more politically—what kind of political impact would a demigod-like figure have on the post-disaster metropolis? Maybe Ke Junxia will become a dictator, but it is more likely that he will become a puppet dictator, and behind him, a new interest group will rise, and there will be new struggles, new fights and new deaths.

From this point of view, Irina does not hope that Ke Junxia can return.

Irina and Colina looked at each other for a long time, and both saw the same thing in each other's eyes.

Eventually, Irina spoke first: "Personally, I look forward to his return, but as a member of his designated executive council, I don't think his return will bring any good." ”

"I don't think about you that much, I just want him to come back, but what he sees when he comes back is not what he wants," Collina said. ”

Irina said, "The best way to deal with it now is to stop it while his belief in the demigods is not too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people." ”

Colina asked, "Are you going to kill him completely?" ”

Irina shook her head and said: "I am reluctant, maybe just let him go like this, and there will be no regrets, he fought desperately for the Metropolis, for his own life, and as a warrior, he died as he deserved." ”

"I still hope he survives, and I'm willing to do it if I can," Collina said. ”

Irina looked at Corina for a long time, and finally said faintly: "There is a theoretical basis for this, but it is very dangerous. ”

Collina laughed: "When I'm with him, it's always dangerous. ”

"We need a story, a story that everyone can accept, so that we can get what everyone wants," Irina said. ”

Collina said, "Then please find someone who is good at telling stories." ”
