Earth, what a familiar name.

When he learned that he was now on the earth, Lu Ming actually had the urge to cry, the feeling of returning to the roots of fallen leaves is not something that ordinary people can understand, I am afraid that only after experiencing many tricks can I understand one or two.

"Where is this on the planet? China? Japan? Korea? ”

Although Huang Ziming is tall, he has authentic black hair, black eyes, yellow skin, and speaks Chinese, so it is very likely that he is Chinese.

Who knew that the other party glanced at Lu Ming strangely, as if he was thinking about the meaning of Lu Ming's words, and replied for a long time: "If it is recorded according to history, this place should belong... An area that belongs to ancient China. ”

"Ancient China? What do you mean? ”

"The countries you just mentioned no longer exist, and if you have to talk about countries, it is only the Eurasian Federation."

"How is that possible?! What year is it? ”

"Year 2221."

2221, two hundred years later? This turned out to be the earth two hundred years later, this situation surprised Lu Ming, it turned out that they had traveled to the future without paying attention.

"What's going on with the Eurasian Federation? Which countries were there before? Why is there only one country now. Also, what's going on here, and why are so many humans in these capsules? ”

Lu Ming put down the hand that was pinching Huang Ziming's neck so that the other party could tell it carefully, and the next content made Lu Ming really feel what it means to be vicissitudes.

"The countries you are talking about were still there more than 100 years ago, especially China, which at that time had become a superpower on an equal footing with the United States, and there was still momentum to surpass each other. In order to compete for the world's first brother, there was a lot of friction between the two sides, which almost led to the third world war.

However, it was only then that it became clear that the real threat was not between the two superpowers, but from outer space.

In 2093, a small meteorite collided with the Earth on the west coast of the United States, and a superpower was wiped out in an instant. And the ensuing secondary disasters have also followed, such as super tsunamis, giant tornadoes, and various extreme weather conditions, which have made the entire earth face a huge test, and countries such as Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, and Australia have all been submerged in the ocean, and the land area has been continuously eroded, and the area suitable for human habitation has been shrinking. For both humans and other creatures, survival became the most important thing at that time.

It was not until 50 years later, in 2143, that the effects of this natural disaster gradually subsided, and the originally broken biosphere, climatic sphere, and environmental sphere gradually recovered, and the total population of the earth shrank to less than 1 billion. South America and Africa have basically become no-man's land, and only one-third of the remaining Eurasian continent has become the last base of mankind.

At that time, the concept of a state had long been gone, and the survivors became a community of destiny and formed the later Eurasian Federation. ”

"I see!" I didn't expect that in the next hundred years, so many things happened on the earth, and human beings unfortunately suffered from the disasters caused by meteorites, but they survived tenaciously and fortunately, but I don't know how far it has developed now.

"As for the people you are talking about ... In fact... Actually, they are all clones. ”

Clone! Lu Ming is also no stranger to this word. Since the birth of cloning technology, the controversy has never stopped, and the legal, ethical and moral issues raised by human cloning have always been the most heated part of the discussion.

In Lu Ming's time, cloning technology was relatively mature, and cloned animals included sheep, cows, mice, and even primates such as monkeys, but human cloning was explicitly prohibited by most countries. The only thing that is allowed is medical cloning, that is, the study of the body's alternative cells, tissues and organs, in order to provide another way out of some terminal diseases.

However, Lu Ming understands that this is actually just a practice of human beings covering their ears and stealing the bell, and there have long been many crazy scientists who have been secretly engaged in the research of human cloning, and it is only a matter of time before the appearance of human cloning. Moreover, medical cloning will inevitably be inseparable from the research of human cloning on the road to the end, so Lu Ming is not surprised at all to hear about human cloning in the future world.

"Why are these clones so different from each other, and many of them are deformities?"

"This... This is due to the fact that these clones start as a single cell and develop in a 'native capsule' until they are fully grown into adults. In this process, the proto-cabin acts as the mother's womb and gives birth to new life. However, the structure of human beings is so mysterious and complex that although we have been able to imitate the environment in the womb 100%, for some reason, the malformation rate remains high, and some even die during the growth process. ”

Huang Ziming is worthy of being a small leader, and he still knows a lot about the technical issues here, but Lu Ming's brows furrowed more and more after hearing this, and it wasn't until the other party finished speaking that he asked, "I have two questions." First, why don't you find adult women to conceive? As far as I know, although cloned humans reproduce asexually, they still need to be supported by a pregnant mother before they can be born smoothly. I don't know how advanced your technology is, but something like the Native Cabin, which clearly violates the laws of nature, is probably the key to your high failure rate. Second, under normal circumstances, whether there is a problem of malformation can be observed in the embryonic stage, why don't you screen in advance, but wait until these deformities grow into adulthood before letting them die a painful death? ”

After hearing this, Huang Ziming smiled bitterly and said something meaningful.

"I really don't know what kind of ontology can give birth to people with thoughts like you."

Without waiting for Lu Ming to continue asking, he explained to himself: "I'll answer your first point first." Human cloning is strictly forbidden by the Eurasian Federation, and once discovered, all those involved will be executed! In this case, it becomes extremely difficult to find a suitable gestation mother, and the native cabin is undoubtedly the best alternative. However, it is not completely impossible to find, as long as the right price can be offered, there will always be people who take risks. The key lies in another reason, which is the answer to the second question, that these human growth times have been compressed to the extreme, only one-tenth of the original time. In other words, in one year, he can grow from a cell that cannot be seen with the naked eye to a child with a biological age of 10! In such cases, it becomes difficult to detect deformities in advance, and often when you wake up, your normal developmental pathway will be derailed. ”

Oh, my God! Was technology so advanced at this time? Lu Ming's heart was not only shocked but also admired, this future technology is really unimaginable to ordinary people, but Huang Ziming's words caused a strong uneasiness in his heart, and he vaguely guessed the purpose of the other party to set up a research base here.

"Smack, smack!"

"Boom!"

While he was thinking, there was a sudden sound of gunshots outside, and Huang Ziming's face changed greatly: "Oh no! They're calling! ”
