Chapter 113: The Miracle of Life

"And then?"

Shock to shock, and after emotions have calmed down, curiosity replaces shock. Yang Yi is ready with both hands, if this is a dream, then it doesn't matter, even if it's not a dream, you have to figure out the ins and outs. All in all, no matter how unbelievable it all is, it's much better to know than not to know.

"Over the next few months, we touched the spacecraft all over the place. Of course, we only learned in hindsight that there was an autonomously operating life detection system on the ship, and it was working normally. To put it simply, this system was activated when we landed on the comet, and the nanobots released by this system extracted my genes, combined with your grandmother's genes, and cultivated embryos in your grandmother's **, thus impregnating your grandmother. Of course, the reality is more complicated, except that your grandmother is indeed pregnant with my son. Yang Feng paused slightly, and then said. After a few months, we basically got a grasp of the situation of the ship, and there was a disagreement about it. ”

"Disagreement?"

"At that time, I was naΓ―ve to think that this spaceship did not belong to us, but to the wealth of human civilization, and we had no right to possess it alone."

"Where's Grandmother?"

"Contrary to me, to be precise, she doesn't think it's the right decision to hand over this ship to the Human Federation, and believes that doing so will only do harm, not good."

Yang Yi was slightly stunned, not quite understanding what Yang Feng meant.

"We had an argument over this. It's just that we all know that with the ability of the two of us, we can't fully grasp the advanced technology on this spaceship, and it will be a matter of time before it is handed over to the Earth authorities. In addition, we have a similar view on another issue, which is to learn as much as possible about the ship and master the core technology before handing it over to Earth authorities in the future. ”

"What do you mean......"

"We've been in the Kuiper Belt for 10 years and it's taken us five years to fly to the Kuiper Belt, so there's no need to rush back."

Yang Yi was slightly stunned, and then understood.

"It's just that a few months later, something happened that changed all of that completely."

"What's the matter?"

Yang Feng let out a long sigh, and after a long while, he said, "Fifteen years is not short. Your grandmother and I were among the first interstellar explorers to go to the Kuiper Belt. At the time of our departure, this profession had just emerged, and it had not yet been recognized, at least with a difficult time for most civilians to accept. Although fifteen years have not changed much, but batch after batch of explorers returned to Earth with ice comets, from abject poverty to huge wealth overnight, interstellar exploration has become very attractive, not only more people have joined the explorers' team, but some large enterprises with strong financial resources have also invested heavily, such as building a forward base in the orbit of Uranus to support interstellar exploration. As a result, it has become easier to travel to the Kuiper Belt in search of ice comets, and the threshold for interstellar exploration has been greatly reduced. ”

Yang Yi frowned and waited patiently for Yang Feng to continue.

"In the year we set out, there were seven expeditions, and fifteen years later, there were more than a hundred expeditions from Uranus Advance Base."

"You mean ......"

"One of them found us."

"Discovery?"

"In addition to the rapid increase in the number of expeditions, the detection of the Kuiper Belt has also been enhanced, and it is no longer difficult to find a small object with a diameter of one kilometer."

"And then?"

"At the time, I was still naΓ―ve and thought it was an opportunity to return to Earth. It's just that your grandmother has always been cautious and prepared a little more. Yang Feng shook his head with a wry smile and said, "When that spaceship appeared, I took the initiative to send out a signal. If it weren't for your grandmother's precautions, I'm afraid we'd be doomed. Whenever the time comes, staggering wealth inevitably leads to greed and conflict. ”

"You've been attacked?"

"It's not us, it's them."

"This ......"

"Even though the ship was more advanced and equipped with weapons than the one we were on, the bad guys underestimated us. As they tried to get rid of us and take over the ship from outside the solar system, they triggered your grandmother's defenses. ”

"The result?"

"Obviously."

Yang Yi was stunned for a moment, but immediately thought that those guys must not end well, otherwise Yang Feng would not have survived until now.

"This conflict happened very suddenly and ended quickly. By the time I discovered the anomaly, the guys who had sneaked aboard the ship had been killed by the self-running defenses. At that time, your grandmother was ten months pregnant, less than ten days before she gave birth. Although your father came to this world with the help of medical equipment on the ship, your grandmother has blood type AB, and your father and I have blood type B. ”

"This ......"

"I couldn't save her, I could only watch her close her eyes."

An inexplicable grief hit my heart, although I had never met my grandmother, but the feelings between blood relatives would not dissipate because of time and distance.

"You can't blame anyone else, you can only blame me. If it weren't for the naivety I was thinking, if I hadn't taken the initiative to give a navigation signal, if I hadn't trusted those guys, if ...... Even with minimal vigilance, your grandmother will not die of postpartum hemorrhage. ”

"Grandpa......"

"On her deathbed, she held my hand and told me to take care of our children. This incident made me believe her words, and also made me realize how naΓ―ve my previous thoughts were. Yang Feng sighed and said with a wry smile, "Although it's too late to bring her back from the dead, I have to live, not for myself, but for her deathbed entrustment, for the only bloodline between the two of us in this world." ”

Yang Yi gritted his teeth, and was sad for a while.

"Actually, for us, it's easiest to live. Having destroyed the enemy, we have two ships, two complete ecosystems, and a lot of supplies. The fusion raw material on two spacecraft is enough to keep an ecosystem running for hundreds of years. ”

"You didn't return to Earth?"

Yang Feng nodded and said, "Obviously, not to mention the spaceship from outside the solar system, just the rare metal used to build the spaceship can cause death." Even if we were able to return successfully, the earth authorities would never be kind to us, because everyone at that time believed that human beings were unique beings in the universe, and did not believe that there were other intelligent civilizations in the depths of the universe, let alone that human beings were not protos of the solar system, but came from outside the solar system, and were the fruit of life sown by a powerful civilization millions of years ago. Either way, the Earth authorities will definitely block the news, and the first thing to do is to get rid of the source of the news. ”

Such a simple truth, Yang Yi did not refute it.

"If it were just me, I wouldn't change anything, at most I would have been hiding in the Kuiper Belt for decades, and after being forgotten by everyone, I would quietly return to the Earth Federation, and spend the rest of my life incognito and obscurity. It's just that I'm not alone, and I'm not destined to die alone. ”

"You mean ......"

"Your father, not only my son, but also your grandmother's son, is a miracle, a miracle that I still can't believe."

"Miracle?" Yang Yi was surprised.

"It was a miracle that your grandmother conceived your father, and the result of this miracle must have been a miracle."

"This ......"

"At first, as I said, your grandmother was able to conceive your father because the life detection system on that spaceship used nanobots to combine my genes with your grandmother's genes and cultivate a new life. Obviously, this is very different from the normal way humans reproduce. To put it simply, the father and mother do not each produce half of the genes, but combine the excellent genes of the father and the mother. ”

Yang Yi was stunned for a moment, Yang Feng's words were too amazing.

"Obviously, your father inherited all the good genes from me and your grandmother. But that's not all. If that's all there is to it, your father is just a very good ordinary person, still human in nature, not beyond it. Yang Feng paused for a moment before saying, "At that time, neither your grandmother nor I realized this, but we just thought that being able to have a child was the most important thing. It wasn't until your father grew up and displayed extraordinary qualities that I realized that his appearance was a miracle. In fact, it is not difficult to see why this is the case. To put it simply, your father was made up of genetic fragments from me and your grandmother, and it was done on the surface of a comet, and not only did he have a large number of genetic combinations that would not have been possible in his natural state, but he was also mutated by cosmic rays. ”

"This ......"

"Fortunately, the life detection system that operates all of this has a self-test function, and when these gene fragments are combined, the bad parts are stripped away, and all the good parts are retained. Because many genetic fragments simply cannot appear through natural reproduction, your father is a transcendent being. ”

"Superman!?"

"That's fine, it's just not accurate."

"What do you say then?"

Yang Feng smiled faintly and said, "These are all things that I only realized after the fact, and the first thing your father showed was an IQ far beyond ordinary people." ”

"Clever?"

"It's not as simple as being smart. He learned to operate a computer at the age of three, and then it took him only half a year to learn 12 commonly used languages through the computer. At the age of five, he had an IQ of over one hundred and fifteen. At the age of seven, he transformed ecosystems to double their energy efficiency. By the time he was ten years old, he knew far more about the spaceship from outside the solar system than I did. ”

Yang Yi was dumbfounded, unable to believe it.

"Of course, ten years is enough time to convince me that in the coming changes, I am only a supporting role, and your father is the glorious protagonist."
