Chapter 229: Declaration

"Wow, they're your most important research, aren't they?" Yuan Sui touched his chin, and dared to walk to the glass box, staring at the monkeys for a while, and suddenly laughed "poof", stretched his neck and made an exaggerated grimace.
The little things on the other side of the glass immediately jumped up and down angrily, waking up more sleeping monkeys with a scream, and the sound of paws scraping in all directions instantly resounded.
"Why are you so skinny?" Tong Bi'an stood the farthest alone, as if he was wary of these creatures who had just made him suffer, "Be careful to run out of two for a while, and you will be the first to be bitten!" โ
"How is that possible?" Yuan Sui was not frightened at all, "If this group of monkeys could casually run out of the glass case, would this doctor dare to walk in front just now?" Besides, primates are smart, of course they'll remember who kept them here, and I'm just a passer-by. โ
The air in the room was filled with the smell of disinfectant water. Tong Bi'an raised his hand and fanned it, but it didn't have any effect at all.
"Why do you all seem to be so calm?" He plucked up the courage to take a fixed look at the little things, only to find that their dull fur was full of clotted blood clots, "This is already suspected of animal cruelty, right?" It's too inhuman. โ
"What do you think we should use to complete the experiment without using animals?" The young man propped his hands on the table, as if this was the only way to stand reluctantly, "Of course the human embryo is not good, because it is dehumanizing, it is a 'demonic act.'" But if even breeding animals makes you feel too cruel, I can only advise you to eat a vegetarian diet at every meal from today onwards. โ
"How, then, according to you, plants are not life?" Yuan Sui retorted solemnly, "I think he will still live by drinking wind in the future, or he can taste the dew once in a while, maybe he will become an immortal by the way." โ
Tong Bi'an was blocked badly, and then gritted his teeth and turned his head hard. Yuan Sui cleared his throat, walked to him with his hands crossed, and persuaded in a low voice: "Don't think too much." As babies born on a ship, I don't think they're crazy at all. Meaningless sympathy can be saved. โ
"What are you trying to illustrate by bringing us here?" Tong Siyuan roughly walked around the room, picking up several pieces of covering cloth with similar textures, and occasionally sighed deeply.
"What you're seeing now can only be regarded as failures of this experiment, and there are about ...... in total," the young man paused, "about two thousand." 35xsโ
"Two thousand?" Even with some mental preparation, Yuan Sui was still slightly taken aback, "So much? So how many monkeys did you build that met your expectations? โ
"As expected?" The young man repeated, smiling wryly and shaking his head, "No, not one. โ
"Okay, okay. What about semi-finished products like the ones we came across earlier? How many are there? Yuan Sui suddenly thought of the worst possibility, "Those who have provided you with financial support in the past will never be willing to spend money in vain, right?" What is the agreement between you? You're not going to sell this monkey as a commodity, are you? โ
"If your city is still around, maybe it will become like that one day, right?" The young man shifted a little and sat down on the edge of the table, "But don't worry, at least not yet. Because everything that has been made is not yet on the table. โ
"Why, I think these monkeys are already annoying." Yuan Sui pouted.
"Our original goal back then was to solve the mystery of the inheritance of the gifted, so that the valuable ability can be mass-produced, and finally build an invincible army." The young man flexed his finger and tapped on the glass plate, "It took us so many years to make something like this." โ
"Sorry to interrupt you." Yuan Sui sat on the other end of the table, "Can you not use the word 'mass production', I really feel a little uncomfortable listening to it." โ
"I'm sorry, I'm just repeating it as it is, please forgive me." The politeness of young people's words always feels a little fake: "In the years since the study was launched, our only achievement has been to demonstrate the randomness and regression of talent. That is to say, apart from the selection of the children's parental sources in advance, we simply cannot make a certain type of gifted person mass produced by artificial manipulation, and the decline of the gifted person is almost irreversible. If it weren't for the fact that those laboratories in the water city forcibly screened out many of the descendants of the talented people who had become ordinary people, this miracle in the history of human evolution might have gone into decline long ago. โ
"Oh, and then?" Yuan Sui nodded, "You originally planned to use technical means to delay the decline of the talented?" In that case, you can learn from the original laboratory personnel on our ship, who also do this every day...... If only they were alive now. โ
"No, when we confirmed that we could not achieve satisfactory results in humans, we immediately expanded our thinking." The young man replied, "If irradiated food can mutate some of us, will this power be effective for animals?"
"So you chose monkeys?"
"Yes. Seriously, it's much more convenient to use animals for experiments. "Doctors don't have to struggle with ethics every day, and nurses don't have to shed tears after putting the children to bed." If there could be a simpler alternative, who would want to face moral and conscientious condemnation every day? โ
"Can you please stop saying such meaningless beautiful words." Yuan Sui gradually restrained his playful attitude, "After all, even if you started thinking about using monkeys for experiments many years ago, you didn't spare those children in the laboratory, and you are still cultivating them in the direction of 'weapons'?" Those children are barely free now, and it doesn't seem that you have taken the initiative to release them because of your 'kindness', right? What you do is what you do, don't make a fool of yourself afterwards and beautify anything. Hypocrites make me feel a little more disgusting than pure bad people, because bad people generally have some self-knowledge. โ
โโฆโฆ It's not up to me to do this alone. The first time I met someone who was completely immune to playing the emotional card, the young people had more and more difficulty explaining, "but at that time, I really wanted to ......"
"Okay, okay, since it's not all up to you, then I can't exonerate everyone just because of a few nice excuses, right?" The two legs that couldn't fall to the ground swayed in the air, and Yuan Sui was almost lying on the table, "One last time, please try to pick up the important ones." We have already learned twice the power of the half-finished monkeys you have cultivated. While I have the last bit of patience left, you don't have to waste your time playing sloppy anymore...... Unless," she sat up straight with a carp suddenly, "you're not going to drag us around first, wait for your companions to control our people, and then threaten us in turn?" โ
As soon as these words came out, Tong Bi'an, who had finally been quiet for a while, immediately lost his breath again, and threatened in a pale voice: "You dare? โ
The young man looked at him and seemed to have more confidence: "Of course I don't dare." Again, using them, I would at least try to keep their lives safe during the mission. But you're not necessarily, are you? โ
"You!"
"Okay, okay, don't be so easily led off topic by a few words from others, okay?" Yuan Sui was a little speechless, "I'll ask, just listen." She stared coldly at the young man, "Don't play any tricks. Pushing me into a hurry won't do you any good. โ
โโฆโฆ The reason why we can't give up on those children completely is because the experiments with monkeys have not gone well over the years. "The young man pressed one hand on his forehead, probably to avoid directly bearing the scrutiny of this hard-mouthed little girl," he said...... It's like a curse. โ
"How the hell did you manage to get those monkeys to get the 'talent' too?" Yuan Sui raised his eyebrows on one side, "Don't tell me that it's just by feeding them the irradiated crops." If it was really so simple to make such a powerful biological weapon, we would have been completely wiped out by the six fingers that were far ahead of us in technology. โ
There was a creaking sound from the table under the buttocks. Yuan Sui was stunned for a moment, realizing that it was the young man on the other end who was trembling.
"It's my ......," the young man whispered, "because I'm ......."
"Because you're also a gift, aren't you?" Ignoring the three surprised glances with different meanings, Yuan Sui bluntly pierced him.
"How did you ......?"
"It's not hard to guess." Yuan Suiyi raised his chin, "Doctor, look at your own face, according to your age, it is obvious that you cannot be one of the people who originally participated in the experiment." And, as far as I've worked with in the past, everything that seems to be out of the ordinary is usually the result of someone's talent. So the question is, how could a gifted person who joined later be able to access these core secrets? There may be many answers, but there is only one that is the most logical. โ
"What?" Tong Bi'an couldn't help but ask.
"He's one of the original experiments that the Frankensteins first cultivated, and the number is supposed to be long before the beginning of the 'd'." Yuan Sui always observed the other party's reaction, and finally smiled confidently, "But his awakening ability is too special, and he has been valued by other staff members like never before, and even finally accepted him as one of the researchers." โ
"It's because ...... My blood. The young man's throat made a muddy inhalation sound. He suddenly rudely tore open his sleeve, revealing the neatly arranged scars on his arms, "Do you know how I got into this ghost?" โ
"Look at the way you look now, probably guessed." There was a hint of imperceptible pity in Yuan Sui's eyes, "Your blood is the reason why this group of monkeys were able to obtain 'talent', right?" It's like a vector for infecting mutant viruses. โ
"You know what? We breed monkeys exactly ten times faster than we can breed humans. The young man's eyes were a little red, "But coincidentally, the probability that the monkey will awaken the ability through my blood is exactly ten times lower than the probability that the newborn baby will inherit the parent's talent!" In other words, all the years of our efforts to raise these animals have been in vain! The number of monkeys that can barely be used is not up to our expectations at all, not to mention, even the types of talents that these things acquire are actually related to me, the 'medium'! โ
"I guessed that." Yuan Sui no longer deliberately mocked him, "The last time I met so many monkeys with self-healing powers, it made me feel very strange. The probability that the abilities of the gifted will almost coincide with each other is very low. โ
"We've probably succeeded in making 200 barely usable semi-finished products in this batch." The young man gestured his finger at the data, "Ninety percent of them are awakened with something like the ability to heal wounds quickly." Coincidentally, judging by the archives, my father also happened to have this talent. The other 10 percent, half of which are the same as my mother's parent, have acquired the ability to 'corrode metal', and the few that are rare are also related to my grandparents. โ
"Understood." Yuan Sui nodded again, "In a sense, the monkey is like using your blood to 'manifest' some talent that could otherwise appear in you......" She slowly closed her eyes, "This kind of...... It's still a bit familiar. โ
"There's one thing I'm most worried about right now." The young man patted his unconscious leg, "If I die one day, will these monkeys be completely useless?" If this is the case, then what is the purpose of all these years of effort? โ
"At least you've proven that 'this is not the way to go.'" Yuan Sui was in a rare mood to comfort his opponent, "This is what scientific research looks like, many people who do basic research may not be able to make something useful in their lifetime, and it seems that they have just spent their lives like this." But at least they have made others less detours. โ
"But I'm not reconciled...... I'm not reconciled! The young people gradually became hysterical, "So many of us, we have spent so much time and effort on this research, is it just a bamboo basket for water?" The children who were cultivated ran away one by one, and the monkeys were useless, and now even the water city that supported us behind it has fallen! I'm running out of time, and if one day, Six Fingers suddenly wants to annihilate humanity, what can we come up with to fight back? โ
"What the hell do you want to do?" Yuan Sui's heart trembled. She had a bad premonition.
"At present, many gifted people have just come off the ship and have no fixed place to live, because they can't bear the gap between the outside world and the life they used to live, and they can reach some basic consensus with ordinary people...... Add to that the fact that we are taking the lead in pushing ......" The young man's cheeks bulged slightly, and it seemed that every word he said took a small amount of effort, "Do you understand, this is all human beings...... The best chance! โ
