211. Cause and effect

"McRose?" Yuan Yi's voice seemed to be choked with straw, shriveled and very depressing.

But soon, he was sure that it shouldn't be, just someone who looked alike.

First of all, the hair of this "Macrorose" who appeared in front of him was not silver-white, and she was also young, and her expression was very rich, she was an out-and-out human girl, when the woman on the side stroked her head, she revealed two sweet dimples, and a pair of smart big eyes flashed, this kind of expression Yuan Yi had never seen on Macrorose's face.

But......

What if there is a connection?

Yuan Yi still had reservations about this, and listened carefully to the woman in front of him who claimed to be Dr. Quinn and continued: "Today I would like to introduce my daughter, Winnie-Winnie, to say hello to everyone. ”

The little girl glanced at her mother, then looked at Yuan Yi (recorder) with some embarrassment, waved her hand slightly, and looked a little restrained: "Hello everyone, I'm Winnie, 14 years old this year." ”

Dr. Quinn, a mother and researcher, put her arms around her daughter's neck and said: "At the beginning, I was engaged in the study of this set of genetic code for Winnie, who suffered from congenital muscle atrophy when she was a child, which is an incurable disease in purebred medicine, which seriously affected our family's life, Winnie's health, and more seriously, over time, not only the external muscle tissue, but even the internal organs of her body will become exhausted. ”

Remembering the sadness of the past, Dr. Quinn showed a weeping expression, as if sensing her discomfort, Winnie grabbed her mother's white coat next to her, and looked at her with a worried expression.

Whispering a word of comfort, Dr. Quinn kissed his daughter's head, then squeezed out a smile and touched her daughter's head: "But now that has changed, Winnie is healthy again because of the change in the genetic code, and you see, normal activities like this are no longer a problem." ”

Winnie moved her hands and feet at her mother's motion, then spun around the recorder twice.

"Recently she's been actively undergoing rehabilitation, and my husband and I plan to send her to a nearby school when she's a little more comfortable – to go to school with other students, which has been Winnie's dream since she was a child."

Yuan Yi was a little inexplicable when he saw this, could it be that Beizhai was in a hurry to call himself here just so that he could watch this - a video of a girl who looks quite similar to McRoss?

He glanced at the North Mansion on the side, but found that the other party was still staring at the holographic image in front of him, without any reaction, and at this time, Yuan Yi could only turn his gaze back in silence.

By the time he returned to the hologram, Dr. Quinn had already broken away from his daughter and asked her to play with her doll, leaving her alone in front of the camera that recorded the video.

"To be honest, I was hesitant to record this video today, because I didn't know if it was a good thing or a ......," Dr. Quinn paused for a moment, as if she couldn't find a suitable word for a while, so she skipped it when she continued, but she had already collected her emotions and said with a straight face, "I'm so grateful for this experiment for being able to restore my daughter's health, but as we dug deeper into the research, we found some code that we never had before." ”

"It's like the dregs that a computer actively resides after deleting a file, a derivative, or like a not-so-savvy poet written in a footnote at the end of the article," Dr. Quinn explains, "It's a new, never-before-seen code, and it's all found in people who have been genetically modified, yes, the same code has been found in Winnie's, but we can't deconstruct it in any way we've ever deconstructed the gene chain." Whether it is a door to a new world or a seed that destroys it, none of us knows. ”

At this time, the North House fast-forwarded again.

But the picture is no longer the room of the research institute and Dr. Quinn.

Rather, it was a documentary-like video, and the scene was shrunk enough to fit in the main control room.

Everywhere there are broken tiles, the original grandiose, revealing a strong futuristic atmosphere of high-rise buildings cracked and broken in two, the ground seems to be deeply torn apart, there is an abyss-like fault, the horror is that this is not a volcano, a rift, but a once prosperous city.

Yuan Yi listened to the reporter-like guy in the picture broadcasting the language, but quickly understood the situation. This is the picture that once took place in this world on the eve of the catastrophe that destroyed the old human civilization. It's really shocking, it's a force that really destroys the world.

But soon, the picture changed again.

This time, it's not that the North House is manipulating, but that it automatically switches the scene.

It's still a documentary style, but this time it's changed to the parliament of an unknown country, and the head of the country solemnly announced on the podium that the country will be exempt from the implementation of the human genetic modification program.

Yuan Yi has already understood a little by now.

This is the other branch of the two futures of the old humanity.

By the way, some people reject genetic modification, believing it to be blasphemy, and yearn to go to space to find a suitable place for human beings, but another part of human beings who are not prejudiced against genetic experiments have pinned their eyes on the immutable truth of "survival of the fittest".

Evolution -

An expert-looking person appeared on the screen, explaining to the media: "It is foreseeable that the earth has given us the countdown to the end of humanity, and it will not be long before we have to deal with it - in fact, it has already begun, earthquakes, tsunamis, temperature changes, radioactive elements, the destruction of raw materials, the depletion of food and energy, either of which, can completely wipe out our human beings from this planet." ”

The scientist who spoke was not Dr. Quinn, but a balding man with glasses, who must have been an atheist: "There is no point in even asking for God's 'forgiveness', because I bet that heaven will never accommodate so many people, and that there is only one last way for humanity to survive." ”

The screen switches again, and this is the politician roaring: "Don't believe the of those guys, Ark? Tower of Babel? Alien? Our exploration team has long confirmed that there is no second habitable planet in the solar system, and that the story of using wormholes to make time-spanning is only science fiction. The guys who are touting the future of humanity in outer space are just a bunch of irresponsible conspirators who just want to make a living, the unplanted stuff. ”

Next, the screen cuts to a petri dish, in which a new human is immersed in water, while a researcher in a white coat is recording experimental data on the side, and the reporter who recorded this information is in charge of explaining it on the side.

"To survive under the sea, humans must acquire the ability to breathe in the water and resist the intense pressure of the sea, but this is not a fantasy as long as the human genes are modified. In fact, throughout the history of living things, we have moved from the sea to the land, and we are just returning to the arms of Mother Ocean once again, just like the whales of the past.
