Aside from Dr. Sainz's implicit sympathy for the Therons, there had been a heated debate within the expedition about how to deal with the Theron people, and the focus of the debate was naturally the Second Theron War.

According to the plot of the BSG series, the Therons used a very successful surprise attack in the Second Theron War to destroy the military system of human civilization in this plane, and after that, slaughtered 12 billion "humans" in 12 colonies.

By the standards of the past, this was undoubtedly a standard act of genocide. The expedition must draw a line, if not immediately hostile to the Therons. However, after witnessing the Reaper's multiple reincarnations in the Mass Effect world, the large-scale destruction of interstellar civilizations round by round, and the tragic battles between multiple interstellar civilizations witnessed by a large number of team members in multiple high-tech planes, everyone's horizons have been greatly expanded.

Despite the history of genocide by the Therons, this does not affect the possibility of future peaceful contacts or even limited technical cooperation between the expedition and them. The expedition, which had already set itself the lofty goal of destroying the Reaper, did not need a new enemy at this time, even one that did not pose an effective threat to them.

Based on the extremely low emotional intelligence and crazy idolatry plot of the Seron people in the BSG plot, it can be seen that this is a rare religious race, and for this reason, some people have even proposed to use their foresight of the plot to send someone to try to control the society of the Seron people as a divine envoy.

But this plan was ultimately rejected by Shen Chao and the majority of the top brass of the expedition on the grounds that. This plan is too dangerous for the executors to be dispatched, and carries a lot of preconceived assumptions. Based on their current experience, many things about the plane that the expedition has crossed are uncertain, and it is likely to be very different from the story.

The expedition's own intervention is likely to change a lot of things, and even change the basic direction of the plot as they know it. Although it is true that there is a certain chance of success in co-opting the Theron people by flickering, it is still too small compared to the chance of failure.

While the doctors on the lower deck were performing the dissection, Shen Chao was browsing the latest progress reports of the exam from the rear in Cambridge. Team 102, which had received his special attention, was working on a reverse clearance operation with many other squads in the world shown in the movie "Human Eradication Project".

This is a low-danger plane, and the level of technology is still at the level of the early 21st century. However, the tasks given in the exam are indeed difficult, as the content of the exam requires the participants to take out as many thugs as possible during the 12 hours of the clearance day, during which they can only use conventional thermal weapons. At the end of the exam, the number of effective kills and the value of the target are scored.

If the squad participating in the exam has not carefully studied the plot of the original film series before. I don't understand the intention behind this order. Then, no matter how many thugs the squad kills during the clean-up day, they can only pass the line and get a passing score without getting extra points.

It's a pity that the 102 squad, which he paid close attention to before, didn't seem to appreciate the deep meaning of this exam, and the exam time was nearing the end, but they were still chasing and killing all kinds of gun-wielding thugs on the road. Leads most squads in terms of kills. Unaware of the fact that the removal of high-value targets in the order meant assassinating the group that initiated the purge day.

On the contrary, it was a team that was inconspicuous before that first discovered the key points in this exam. At this time, a group of government officials who initiated the purge were massacred in that plane. Look at these real-time reports. A few hours go by in a flash.

This exam is also over. Although the results of the exam made him slightly disappointed. Only a handful of squads have found the key and organized a purge of the top levels of the U.S. government in that plane. Fortunately, so far, there have been no cases of students taking this opportunity to kill people indiscriminately or ask to withdraw from the exam because of the requirements of the task. It shows that there is no problem with the psychological quality of the students.

And in the dissection room below several decks. The dissection of the first Theron corpse is nearing completion. If it weren't for the fact that they had to melt the large ice mound on the outer layer of the corpse first, they could have done their job much earlier.

Shen Chao, who was on the upper deck, was scoring the students of each team in his heart, when a new high-priority information box jumped out. It was the deplaning team that reported on the progress of the Therons' dissection. Dr. Sainz strongly suggested in the message that he himself had gone over to watch the latest progress.

Seeing this news, Shen Chao put down the tablet in his hand. I said hello to Roy, who was taking over the command of the battleship, and then put on his helmet and went down the elevator. After arriving at the lower deck where the dissection room was located, Shen Chao led a few guards through the temporary isolation doors, and finally entered the slightly crowded dissection room.

This room is fully enclosed. In the center is a metal dissecting table. Lying on the surface was a corpse covered with a surgical cloth. The walls are covered with multiple layers of plastic sheeting, which covers the entire room. For safety, all the people inside are wearing high-grade chemical protective suits. Some are standing in front of the unplaning table, while others are sorting out containers containing organs.

I saw Shen Chao come in. Dr. Sainz, dressed in a bloodied hazmat suit, immediately greeted them and explained their progress. As if to make his explanation more intuitive, he asked his assistants and colleagues to show off all the organs they had removed from the Theron corpse and uncover the surgical cloth covering the corpse's face.

When the surgical cloth was removed, what leaked was a familiar face. There is no doubt that this is a Theron man, and according to the situation in the BSG series, the owner of this face belongs to module 6 in the Theron sequence. That is, this is a "number six".

According to the official BSG plot, there are a total of 12 models of the Theron people, of which 7 production models have produced thousands of individuals. Each model of humanoid Theron has the same appearance regardless of the number of them, and looks like they are clones.

And the number six can be regarded as the model that plays the largest role of all the production models. The number six, which has the appearance of a young human woman, has a wide range of applicability. One of them successfully infiltrated the core field of human society before the start of the Second Theron War, and used a series of means such as color seduction to obtain the core code of the human fleet's defense host update.

The Theron used these valuable codes to defeat the invasion of the human colony, successfully paralyzing the human fleet without firing a single shot, thus laying a solid foundation for their victory in the war and the subsequent targeted slaughter of humans.

For most people who have watched BSG's drama, number six is the embodiment of the characteristics of the Theron people. Shen Chao was no exception, after seeing this face, he could finally determine the approximate time period they were currently in.

Judging from the situation on Earth where they first arrived, it is clear that the people of the fugitive fleet have not yet reached the end of their journey. And judging from the corpse of the No. 6 Theron in front of him, it should have been some time since the outbreak of the Second Theron War. Because the number 6 is a fairly new model.

Combined with the straight-line distance from here to Earth, it is very likely that the BSG series is already in the final stage (in fact, it is only halfway there). But this inference has yet to be demonstrated. To confirm this, one has to go out and conduct an extensive search in nearby galaxies.

Thinking of this, he wanted to go back to Cambridge and issue a new set of orders, but Dr. Sainz insisted that he stay behind and give another in-depth account of their findings. : This is a zoomed-in profile of their skeletal tissue samples, as well as major organs......

Dr. Sainz did not directly give the conclusion that Shen Chao wanted, but like a patient teacher, he used the equipment at hand to show Shen Chao the main results they had just solved one by one with examples.

He knew that Shen Chao could definitely understand it, although Shen Chao had not studied the physiology of various alien creatures as deeply as professional doctors like them, but the physiological structure of the Theron people was too similar to that of humans. Similar to Shen Chao, who has systematically studied human physiology, can definitely see the problem. And Shen Chao did see the problem in his explanation.

"Are you sure these are Theron organs?" Shen Chao interrupted the doctor's words and asked. Although he was asking, he knew that the other party would not fool him, so there was no doubt in his tone.

"Yes, these organs were taken from the body of the Theron people, as you can see, except for the bones of the whole body, which have unnatural signs of reinforcement, the heart, liver, lungs...... These are no different from human ones. Our scans showed that they were almost completely indistinguishable from those of normal humans. The DNA and RNA are also extremely well matched to us, almost identical. ”

"They also seem to have some abnormalities in their immune system, and the number of white blood cells left in their blood is a little too long. But the number of related jù is no stranger than that of an ordinary soldier who has undergone a full set of biochemical modifications. Not even as good as some of the mutated creatures we've collected from other planes, such as vampires and werewolves," Dr. Sainz explained. Shen Chao noticed this problem as he explained.

In the subsequent explanation, Shen Chao noticed that in the 8 major systems of the human body, the Theron people have achieved complete replication, from appearance to function, the organs contained in these systems can work in harmony, just like a normal human being. And nothing worth mentioning has been made! It's a complete copy of humans! This was a far cry from their previous assumptions.

"This is really the most uncreative alien race I've ever seen......" Shen Chao complained in his heart. (To be continued......)
