Chapter 556: The Way to Escape
"What is a clone?"
As a "soil bun" who grew up in the chaotic and disorderly land outside the law, Turtledove has never heard of "cloning", which is actually not a high-end technology for a long time, after all, the level of science and technology in the land outside the law is not high, and there is basically no aspect that can use the technology of "cloning", so it is reasonable that Turtledove has not heard of it.
"Did you know that the human body is made up of cells?"
Xiao Worm saw that although the situation outside was chaotic, there was no direct threat for the time being, so she had nothing to do, and decided to take this opportunity to give the turtledove a wave of science popularization and improve the scientific literacy of the turtledove.
"Of course I know that."
Even if the turtledove doesn't have much contact with these high-tech things, he still has some basic common sense, otherwise he will really become a fool.
"To put it simply, cloning is to use one of your cells as a start, and then reproduce countless lives exactly like you, theoretically, of course, it can be 'innumerable', those 'multiples' we have seen before, they are really cut out of a mold."
The little worm said simply, but it was quite concise, and it suddenly made the turtledove roughly understand what the "cloning" was all about, although the specific details of the worm did not tell the turtledove, and the turtledove did not have the heart to ask more, anyway, it was useless for him to ask more, and the turtledove was not interested in these things at all.
"The use of 'cloning' technology in the new empire has become very common, and poultry and livestock under large-scale breeding are usually 'cloned', so that the best breeds can be used to maximize their value, and if you have lived in the new empire, you should be able to understand."
After listening to a little worm's popular science, the turtledove nodded as if he understood, raised his eyes, but found that the insect's face was not very good-looking, and the turtledove thought she was injured or something, and hurriedly asked the insect if she felt uncomfortable.
"I'm fine," the worm said to the turtledove, "it's not a big deal to clone a pig, cow or sheep or something, it's the first time I've seen a human cloning human, because there is an ethical issue involved, I didn't expect that there are really people in the world who are so mad that they dare to clone humans on such a large scale." ”
The turtledove didn't understand why the little worm said that, and the clone was said to be able to play a great role, for example, the turtledove thought that if he could be cloned into many, many bodies, then let them work, so that he was still wandering around back then, and it was not good to be a king directly.
"Daydreaming," the worm glanced at the turtledove, "if you are indeed cloned into countless individuals, which one is the real you?" A person is unique, but all of a sudden there are so many beings who can't tell who is who, this has to be messed up, you want them to work for you, why don't they want to treat you as a slave? ”
Hearing what the worm said, the turtledove suddenly felt that the cloning technology was not so good, and that it was enough to have one turtle dove in the world, and a few more...... Not good, not good.
……
"In addition to the ethical aspects, there are many debatable points in cloning technology," the little worm is doing a simple and understandable science popularization for the turtledove, "A large number of lives with the same genetic structure may induce the mass spread of new diseases, you know the genes, right?" ”
"Know, know a little."
The turtledove does know a little, "gene", who doesn't know, but the total thing the turtledove knows about it lies in the word "gene", as for the deeper meaning under these two words, the turtledove is not very clear.
"Hey, you, it's really ......"
The little insect wanted to say that the turtledove "really doesn't know anything", but suddenly her ears moved, and she made a silent gesture to the turtledove, and then secretly glanced out of the door, and finally whispered to the turtledove:
"It's the people of Vulture Castle."
Since the turtledove broke from this floor to the next floor to save the little worm, these big brothers of the vulture castle have disappeared from the world, and they don't know where they have gone, and now they see more than a dozen warriors of the "elite squad" sneakily going down the stairs from a distance, and she suddenly guessed seven or eight percent in her heart.
It may be that most of the people in the "elite squad" chased the turtledove to the lower floor at that time, but they did not stop like the turtledove, but seized the opportunity to go all the way to the bottom, and maybe they had escaped from the building.
However, not all the members of the "elite squad" were able to successfully escape, at that time more than a dozen black strong men were indeed confronting turtledoves, don't forget that there were hundreds of white "multiples", it is estimated that some of the "elite squad" members saw that the white "multiples" all went to chase the fleeing army, so they quietly rushed upstairs to hide.
Now he felt that it was a lot quieter downstairs, so he came down again to look for an opportunity to see if he could escape from the damned building and join up with the large army that was missing.
……
"What shall we do?"
That's the question that the turtledove wants to ask the most.
The "Elite Squad" had fled to an unknown place, and the turtledove felt that he had to get out of here as soon as possible, just like the little worms, - he couldn't hide in this cell for the rest of his life, could he?
"Don't worry," the little worm was much calmer than the turtledove, "Let's see how the people outside are doing, and let them explore the way ahead for the two of us." ”
After listening to the worm's words, the turtledove gave the worm a thumbs up.
So the two young men walked out of the cell lightly, and the alarm was still loud outside, and the flashing red lights affected people's eyesight very much, and the little worm had the talent of "eagle eye" and was not affected too much.
The turtledove's eyes were about to be blinded by the flash of light, and he had to follow the worm honestly, and walked to the corner of the stairs, but the worm stopped without warning, and the turtledove almost tripped over her.
"Go back, go back."
The little worm hurriedly pushed the turtle dove back, and before the turtle dove could figure out what was going on, the little worm had already pushed him into a cell next to him, and then looked outside, and the dozen or so members of the "elite team" who had just gone down the stairs hurriedly turned back and were running upstairs screaming, followed by a large group of white "multiples".
Those white "multiples" are nothing in front of the turtledove, and it is extremely difficult for the members of the "elite squad" who are ordinary people to deal with, and the two sides are not of the same grade at all.
But thanks to these "elite squad" members, they have cleared a way for turtledoves and bugs to escape.
