Yang Wei took off his helmet and looked at the inner grid of the medical cabin, slightly stunned.

The probe injected with the genetic stabilizer slowly withdrew from his arm, and the expensive alloy coating on it had to be replaced.

- It's also a loss that his family is not short of money now, otherwise this kind of injection method is completely unaffordable for ordinary reformers.

The door of the medical cabin opened smoothly, but Yang Wei lay there reclining and did not move for a long time.

"Boss."

Ritsu's projection appeared on the side, his expression was somewhat apprehensive, and he asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?" ”

Ten minutes ago.

Yang Wei did not get angry after witnessing Hera's experimental results, nor did he blame Hera, on the contrary, Yang Wei behaved very calmly, as if all this was already within his plan.

Then, Yang Wei gently hugged Hera and whispered a few words of encouragement.

Before leaving, Yang Wei seemed to be worried that Hera would be too stressed, as if an elder cares for a junior, rubbed Hera's head, and said softly:

'Go ahead and do it, it's here, we've got no way out, and I'll always support you, just as you supported me.' ’

Ritsu glanced at Hera in the giant ship and realized that she had now thrown herself back into the lab.

The corners of Hera's mouth couldn't stop rising, she was in a happy and relaxed mood, and she became more motivated to work.

On the other hand, look at your own boss......

Yang Wei lay quietly in the medical cabin, as if something in the air in front of him was attracting him.

This worries Ritsu.

Not far away, 026 straddled the back of a crawler robot, and 'floated' over with two cups of hot drinks to replenish his spirit, and said with a smile: "Is it over there?" ”

Ritsu made a gesture of silence.

026 blinked, "What's wrong?" ”

Ritsu shook her head and motioned for 026 not to ask more.

Yang Wei got up and jumped out of the medical cabin, raised his hand and squeezed his cheeks twice, cheering up: "I want to hurry back to Emperor Star, it's been too long to come out." ”

"Boss," Ritsu asked softly, "don't you blame me for hiding this?" ”

Yang Wei asked rhetorically: "Lu, will you betray me?" ”

"Of course not," Ritsu whispered, "I'm a part of your life. ”

"Then why do I blame Ling and Hera?"

Yang Wei said in a low voice:

"I can understand your intentions, and to be honest, I actually had a premonition that Hera would most likely embark on this path.

"The direction of this experimental project is to clone Hera herself and create more human pseudo-queens...... I was just thinking about what would happen next.

When Hera chose this path, she was destined to lead to a tragedy of her own.

"Because this is already a tragedy in itself.

"How is she going to deal with those more than a thousand clones, are these more than a thousand clones human? There is no doubt about it. What exactly do they have to do with her? Is that a continuation of her life? Or, from the point of view of the limited total number of cell divisions, that is her?

"Ah, I'm confused right now, and this really gave me a bit of a shock."

026 on the side whispered, "Is there something wrong with Miss Hera?" ”

"She's fine," Yang said with a smile, "she's trying to move forward with the experiment, which means a lot to us, that's all." ”

Ritsu puffed out the corners of his mouth, stood aside with his hands behind his back, and whispered, "Boss, if you are angry, scold me a few words." ”

"What are you scolding for?"

Yang Wei comforted:

"Hera made a sacrifice, you chose to help her, and I am the direct beneficiary, if I go and blame you two again, then I will not become green tea...... Don't keep a bat on your face, come over and hug it. ”

Ritsu blinked continuously: "I, me?" Do you want to hug me? Boss? ”

"Or else?"

Yang Wei opened his hands and waited quietly: "Come here." ”

Ritsu instantly tensed, and the main brain parts on the side seemed to have a tendency to smoke.

"Old, old, boss! I'm just a simulated virtual body, made with simulated gravity, or I'm going to order a body like Guina...... Phew! ”

While she was still talking, Yang Wei had already taken the initiative to take two steps forward and hugged her hard and strangled her twice.

Although the simulated gravity technology brings a tactile feeling that is extremely close to that of a real person, Yang Wei's arms and the back of the law still have a slight piercing.

There is a bunch of gibberish in the core thinking area of the law.

Before her shipboard mastermind smoked, Yang Wei's voice sounded in her ears:

"You'll have to remember that the most direct way for us to surpass the Empire is to take on the third Twilight Assessment.

"Whether or not I can resonate with Twilight is crucial.

"Think about Levi Sherman, why he was turned away, I seem to be following his old path right now."

"No, boss," Ritsu whispered, "you're the best leader." ”

Yang Wei let go of the projection of the law, shook his head with a smile, and walked in the direction of the tail cabin.

The Dongfeng began to return to the spaceport on the periphery of Emperor Star.

After seeing Yang Wei leave, Lu stood thoughtfully beside the medical cabin, analyzing the true emotions of his host, boss, master, and male god at the moment.

026 leaned over and whispered, "Did you have a disagreement with your boss?" ”

"No," Ritsu looked a little downcast, "I made him unhappy on my own initiative, and he couldn't attack me and Miss Hera yet." ”

"Miss Hera's clone? Is this part of an experimental project? ”

"Yes."

The Ritsu sigh explains:

"After a series of experiments, Miss Hera came to the conclusion that her ability to coexist with that kind of high-dimensional microbes was not accidental, but the result of interference.

"We have the technology that cannot be used to reverse develop this interference technology, nor can we grasp the basic principles of high-dimensional interference.

"The only thing we can do is replicate the results."

"I can probably understand that."

026 clasped his arms and whispered:

"But Xiaolu, why are you hiding it from your boss?"

"It's because of Miss Hera's repeated pleas."

Ritsu sighed helplessly:

"I don't know what happened to me at the time, why I agreed to help her hide it, and now I'm very, very passive.

"I definitely don't have any possibility of betraying my boss, I'm just considering that this project is something we have to carry out so that it is possible to get more investment from the Fayans, and in the long run, if we can find a way to fight the Zerg, it will also be a blessing for the human species.

"But now I have a deep, deep sense of guilt."

"Don't think about it," 026 laughed, "You're just a mechanical thinker, and your emotions are simulated!" The boss didn't scold the two of you, which means that the two of you didn't do anything wrong! ”

"No, I did do it wrong, I didn't react until now, and the way I calculated it was that reason and interest accounted for too much proportion."

Ritsu folded his arms and whispered:

"I shouldn't have analyzed this from a purely rational point of view.

"We are a group, and he is the main body of responsibility.

"Our behavior can be seen as following his will, especially me, I am the embodiment of the boss, the bond between the boss and our power, and my concealment will also make him uneasy.

In fact, no matter what Hera's starting point was, Hera was an employee of the boss, and Hera's use of cloning technology to clone herself as an experimental sample was essentially inseparable from the boss.

"Miss Hera will keep killing herself, she is still the boss's former lover, the two have lived together for so long, and now there must be feelings...... This kind of thing is indeed beyond human ethics, and the boss will feel that he is constantly killing Hera...... Ah, my teacher! What the hell did I do! This just sucks! ”

It's the first time that Lil has been so depressed.

026 whispered, "So can we do something for the boss?" To make up for it? ”

Ritsu raised his hand and held his forehead: "I'll write a review, as for you, you can practice a rabbit dance with the backless vest back, believe me, the boss loves this." ”

"Phew! Ah! Why are you getting more and more indecent! ”

026 rushed up fiercely.

Ritsu disappeared directly, leaving behind two weak hehes.

……

Meanwhile.

In the territory of the Falling Wind Alliance, in a hidden spaceport.

Tens of thousands of pirates in uniform are gathered in a huge protective shield, enjoying the comfortable gravity brought by the simulated gravity field, and performing some sports and primitive interactions.

Mimiri sat at the flagship command podium of the Pirate Ship Regiment, the large screen in front of her constantly switching between her men.

is completely different from when she was in front of Yang Wei, Mi Millie here has lost that kind of ladylike, well-behaved and little willful, and has a little more fierce, majestic and wild charm. She wore a ponytail, sexy hot pants and a small tank top, her face was smeared with black peach, and the hilt of the light-bladed sword hanging from her waist was stained with dark red blood.

Behind Mimiri, the elite management of the pirate group is having a dinner, and dozens of big women are more fierce than the other.

They are the main staff of the Concierge Department of the Molly Miss Group.

"Gollum!"

Mimilie's ears rang with a cute and cute cue.

Molly, dressed in a maid outfit, kept a duck sitting on a levitating ball, and floated to Mimily's side:

"The old master sent a communication! Would you like to talk to him? ”

Mimiri subconsciously glanced behind her and whispered, "Turn it on, hide the background." ”

"Okay, turn on privacy mode!"

"It is forbidden to maliciously sell cuteness."

Molly complained unconvinced: "How can anyone have it! ”

Several rays flickered, and a bust of Old Kolev appeared in front of Mimily. - The bust is only the size of a fist, and the figure is bokeh.

"Dad, what's wrong?" Mimiri smiled and asked, "Do you have a new competitor that I need to knock on?" ”

"Oh, not this, Mimilie......"

Kolev groaned a few times.

There are many things he wants to say, but he can't open his mouth when it comes to words.

The child is already older, and Mimily is no longer the little child, she is wise, brave, cruel, decisive, and she is a good pirate leader, she is better than herself.

But this is the only thing......

"Mimilie, you're in a relationship with Hanton, aren't you?"

"This," Mimiri's smile gradually retracted, and she said very seriously, "I took the initiative to pursue my uncle, and besides, my uncle rejected me for ten years before finally ...... I'm happy now, and I'm not going to take the relationship up the next level, it's good to keep it as it is......"

"I'm not talking about this," Kolev muttered a few times, "Mimile, I mean, a very serious subject. ”

"Okay Dad, it's good for you to say it."

"How many children are you going to have? If you want more than two children, can you consider giving our family name to one of the children? ”

Kolev's old face was flushed, and his eyes were full of anticipation:

"Can I name your child? Oh, it's just wonderful, how nice it would be if your mom lived to see this day. ”

Mimiri's expression froze for a moment.

Syllable!

Her right hand was as fast as a phantom, and she slapped the communication directly, and then sat down in the chair with her forehead clutched, letting out a feeble moan.

She, the pirate queen Mimilie, was born.

……

'More than a thousand Hera, are they all the personalities of scientific research madmen?' This is going to get out of control, it's not about being killed. ’

On the ferry boat back to Emperor Xing, Boss Yang was slightly fascinated by the starry sky.

Yes, Yang Wei did not feel any frustration.

He was more immersed in the shock of the more than a thousand nutrient tanks at the moment, and what he said - he was thinking about what role so many clones would play.

The only thing Yang Wei felt a little depressed about was that he couldn't help Hera at all.

Boss Yang looks back at his common experience with Hera, from when they met and lived together, to Hera's close collapse because of her father's death, and to today, every step Hera has taken seems to have been calculated.

The moment he saw those clones, Yang Wei faintly glimpsed the big hand suspended behind Hera's back.

The Fayas were watching Hera.

'Are the Fayas enemies?' ’

Yang Wei asked himself repeatedly, but he couldn't give himself a definite answer.

For the Fayans, the crude concept of friend and foe cannot be used at all, and the implications are too far-reaching.

Either way, Emilia's birthday was a fool.

This can only be regarded as a small episode.

Half a month later, Boss Yang received two review letters.

A review from Hera, a few hundred words, in which she expressed her regret for her risky actions in a somewhat helpless tone.

A review from Li, nearly 10,000 words long, lists her emotional core working mechanism, the data friction that occurs in the interaction of rational and emotional modules, and the arrangement of some key data.

Although in terms of content, Yang Wei didn't understand much;

But he did feel Ritsu's guilt and apprehension, and how much care she had put into writing this review.

Yang Wei gave them a simple reply, one was [OK], and the other was [know].

Hera's giant research ship, which is navigating freely within the galaxy, has dropped traction coordinates at several relatively safe coordinate points, making it easier to make long-distance jumps while avoiding the swarm.

Although the Falling Wind-Dark Star system was ready to face the Zerg, Yang Wei and Lu were still not at ease, and tried their best to produce all kinds of materials and military supplies, and did their best to minimize the losses caused by the Insect Tide.

Swarm.

War.

The fire of human civilization in the galaxy seems to be in jeopardy.

At this point in time, human civilization in the galaxy is preparing for the upcoming insect tide.

Whether it's the four big gangsters in the galaxy or the small nations, they're allocating almost all of their resources to the fight against the insect tide.

Human exploration ships continued to appear in the border areas of the galaxy, and the Zerg naturally knew that humans were actively preparing for war, and the six major insect swarms, which had already gathered most of them, had begun to converge at an accelerated pace.

The two races are about to have a large-scale passionate collision in the galaxy.

Yang Wei fully devoted himself to his busy official duties.

Wearing the Knight's Medal, he went in and out of several important departments of the Imperial Star, and occasionally participated in some interviews and live broadcasts, using the influence of the white ghost to relieve the mental pressure up and down the empire.

The state apparatus of the empire began to run at full speed.

As one of the thirty-six official members of the Imperial Planning Committee, Yang Wei also intuitively experienced the incomparably terrifying war mobilization ability of the Sherman Empire.

If it is a war of annihilation, the empire will face the three major powers with one enemy and three enemies, and it will be able to destroy two of the three major powers before it collapses!

Thanks to the efforts of various departments of the empire, the more than 200 administrative stars that were divided into 'marginal buffer zones' did not form a wave of refugees.

Underground shelters were quickly refitted;

Thousands of large-scale factories in the territory of the Emperor Star Circle have begun to mass-produce bioshielding instruments;

The hundreds of military factories in the empire, as well as the 'Levy Ship Regiment Industrial Ship Group' that Yang Wei could not know the specific number, worked day and night to produce all kinds of weapons that could effectively kill the Zerg;

Signed by Yang Wei, the 'reserve ship group' of the empire was activated.

The total number of decommissioned and mothballed warships of various types is more than 30,000, and they slowly rise into the sky on the barren planets within the scope of the Emperor Star Circle;

In less than three months, the empire mobilized 50 million former veterans and reservists, and the local defense ship regiments were visibly thickened.

Even, the decaying nobles of the empire have also supported themselves, donating materials and arms, taking the initiative to send their heirs to the most dangerous front-line army, and spending huge financial and material resources to build new shelters in their territories to shelter the people of their territories.

Under the heavy pressure of the Zerg, there was no noise in the empire for the time being.

The rebels ceased their activities, hid themselves entirely, and waited for the tide to recede.

This is the Empire. ’

Yang Wei felt a sense of honor in his heart, and quickly crushed this sense of honor.

He can no longer have any affection for the Empire.

Whether the Faya are enemies or not, Yang Wei can't give a definite answer yet.

But the Sherman Empire, without a doubt, was his enemy.

……

Countdown to the Bug Tide: 162 standard galactic days.
