Chapter 175: The panicked teenage clone
This time, the rescue of the clones went much smoother than the last time.
Although the clones were thrown and their faces were covered in blood,
But because of the exercise of this journey, after putting on an oxygen mask for "her" again,
The sequelae caused by hypoxia have also dissipated a lot.
"It's so fragile as a living being!" Xiao Guang beside Yang Meng looked at the fainted clone and sighed.
Hearing Xiaoguang's emotion, Yang Meng did not reply, but continued to observe the clone on the screen,
At this time, Xiaoguang seemed to remember something, and asked with a flash:
"I remember you said that your people have two genders, so she is the woman you say!"
"She!"
Hearing Xiaoguang's question, Yang Meng shook his head gently,
In the decades I have been with Xiaoguang, I have indeed briefly described with Xiaoguang the relationship between human gender and reproduction.
But this relationship only applies to normal humans, not to human cloning.
Although cloned humans can also be counted as humans, they also have human genes.
But as a product of human cloning,
Sex has no biological reproduction significance for human cloning.
This is also the reason why Yang Meng did not check the gender of the clone for the first time.
Now hearing Xiaoguang mention this, it makes Yang Meng think of this problem that has been ignored by him.
"Xiao Yin, check the gender of this clone!"
"Understood!"
It is not difficult to determine the gender, and soon Yang Meng got the answer here,
"Is that so?" When he got the answer, he sighed silently.
Xiao Guang on the side saw Yang Meng shaking his head and sighing again, so he asked with a flash:
"Do I have a problem with that?"
"It's nothing, this one of my people is genderless!"
"Genderless, that is, there are three genders of your people! That's a little different from what you said at the beginning!"
"Three!"
Hearing Xiaoguang's words, Yang Meng shook his head again,
The gender issue of human cloning is far more complicated than Xiaoguang thought.
Although he also wants to explain the reason to Xiaoguang,
But it involves the dark history of mankind and some secrets, but it cannot be explained simply.
Therefore, Yang Meng simply responded:
"You think of it as a special class of us!"
After saying this, Yang Meng changed the topic and said:
"Speaking of which, when you were living beings, how did you reproduce?"
"It's special!" Xiaoguang seems to be still thinking about the question just now,
But when he heard Yang Meng's question, he immediately reacted to something, so he responded with a flash:
"The structure of living beings has been a thing for a long time, and let me think about it, as if it was some kind of division, and so on and so on not just divisions,
Let me think again......
……
In the end, Yang Meng still couldn't get an accurate answer from Xiaoguang.
Moreover, he didn't have time to pay attention to Xiaoguang's answer,
Because the clone on the screen awakens again.
……
"Xiao Yin, how is the clone's mental condition this time?"
With the experience of panicking after the last clone woke up,
In the face of this clone awakening,
Yang Meng deliberately asked Xiao Yin to turn on the brainwave detection program to observe the state of the clone this time.
And the detection device, which is a tiny button battery-sized device, is placed at the root of the clone's long hair.
and sent data to the rover on the side.
Through such monitoring, Xiao Yin immediately analyzed what he found:
"According to the brain wave values, there is a high probability that this clone is still in a state of panic!"
Hear this
Answers,
Yang Meng frowned slightly, stopping the idea of wanting to communicate with "her",
After all, when people are in a panic,
Giving a more intense stimulus can lead to bad consequences,
However, the cloned human beings produced by rapid cloning technology are inherently flawed, more likely to be frightened, and more likely to have problems due to fright.
Therefore, Yang Meng still observed the behavior of this clone very carefully, and did not make any sound. ,
"Xiao Yin, check the tranquilizer status!"
"The tranquilizer compression ejection device is complete, ready to be fired!"
Hearing Xiao Yin's answer, Yang Meng nodded silently,
With the lessons learned from last time,
If this time he cloned the human being, regardless of his physical safety, and ran around, he would have to let Xiao Yin take some necessary measures.
It is not that there are no weapons systems on the rover,
He's looking for living clones, if they're not defensive.
His rover may have some trouble finding the clones.
After all, monkeys will bare their teeth and even throw stones in the face of humans who intrude on their territory.
So the clones who live on the metal sphere,
How would you react when you saw something that cut the walls of your life and walked in?
At first you may be afraid,
But seeing that the rover has no intention of attacking, it is inevitable that there will be no other thoughts.
Because the rover is also equipped with some safety devices that are sufficient for self-protection,
merely
Yang Meng came to communicate,
Under normal circumstances, it will not easily hurt people's lives and cause hatred.
Therefore, most of the defense means on the rover are non-lethal weapons.
And the tranquilizer is one.
"I hope she doesn't let me use this tactic!"
Looking at the clone who slowly got up on the screen, Yang Meng secretly said in his heart,
Tranquilizers also have certain side effects, and they can kill people if they are used too much.
……
In metal balls,
Teenage clone, the pink child's hole reflects the surrounding scene,
This time, seeing those unfamiliar devices, "she" didn't get up in a panic and ran away.
but lifted up the white arms,
Looking at the needle stuck in it,
Because the needle was broken free by mistake last time,
There was already a large area of redness and swelling on his arm.
But she just glanced at the red, swollen area, then reached out and pulled out the needle in her arm, and took off the oxygen mask on her face.
Then he got up and looked at the pressure chamber behind him,
When "she" saw the scene in the pressure chamber,
The originally delicate face once again showed some panicked emotions,
Because "she" saw the gap cut by the detector,
I also saw the notch, the bowl of underwater sealing crimping structure.
This strange device seems to have impacted her worldview,
Unconsciously, "her" pink child's hole began to enlarge,
The clone took a step back,
But then,
She quickly moved forward to the gap, as if to push the crimping device outside,
But at a depth of 100 meters,
Trying to push open a seal that is pressed by the sea is obviously not something that can be done by man.
"She" after trying for a moment,
He sat down on the ground in a dejected manner.
……
On the spaceship,
Seeing these behaviors of this clone, Yang Meng can already analyze a lot of things.
"There's a good chance this clone doesn't know he's in the ocean!"
The reason for this speculation is because of what he knows about gold
The sphere does not have any window structure, it is a completely enclosed space.
If these clones live in such a sphere from birth to death,
It's almost impossible to know that you're in the ocean,
And, one more thing,
The metal sphere is located in the center of the polypore fungus, so even if you have a window, you can't see the ocean directly.
"Then why did she go out through the hatch?"
"Did she come in from here?"
At this time, Yang Meng thought of something again:
"Since it's a confined space, it's an ocean!"
"These clones can't live without the metal sphere, but when this clone woke up, he rushed to the hatch as soon as he could.
So......
This clone didn't live in this metal sphere all the time.
but from other metal spheres into this place,
This also explains the fact that "she" wants to open the door directly, despite the fact that there is sea water outside!"
"According to her worldview, maybe if you open the hatch, you can return to the metal ball you are!"
Thinking of this possibility, Yang Meng had some sympathy for what happened to these clones.
And in addition to seeing these two points, he also found another important place,
That is, this clone doesn't seem to understand the normal operation process of the pressure chamber.
"Following the process,
She should put on a wetsuit, then enter the pressure chamber, then close the inner door and slowly pour water into the pressure chamber.
Wait until the water is full, then open the outer door before you can go out!"
"She doesn't know anything about these processes, so she wants to open the hatch directly, which is very dangerous!"
"Moreover, the most normal way is to check the equipment in the pressure chamber for the first time to see if the pressure chamber can still work properly before proceeding out of the cabin!"
"She's abnormal!"
Yang Meng analyzes the behavior of cloning people on this screen from the perspective of his own pioneer astronaut.
"Is it because she really doesn't understand, or is there something else?"
Just as he was thinking, the clone sitting on the ground stood up again and slowly left the pressure chamber.
With the action of "her", Xiao Yin's prompt sound also sounded in Yang Meng's ears:
"The observation of the target's brain waves has stabilized, and you can try to communicate!"
Hearing Xiao Yin's words, Yang Meng shook his head:
"It's just that she's just stabilizing, let's see where she's going?"
At this time, the girl clone left the pressure chamber,
stopped in front of the equipment sent by Yang Meng, as if observing something,
Then he carefully poked one of the devices with his finger.
Seeing that there is no response from these devices,
There was a hint of doubt in his surging pink eyes.
And then "she" is not looking at the equipment,
Instead, he walked towards the inside of the metal ball,
As "her" moved forward, the face of the girl clone became inexplicably flushed, and the originally steady breathing seemed to become a little short.
Yang Meng, who saw this scene, suddenly reacted to something,
"I almost forgot, Xiao Yin, turn on the air circulation system and restore the oxygen level to normal levels!"
"Understood!"
As the oxygen supply returns to normal,
The strangeness of "her" quickly disappeared
Seeing this, Yang secretly breathed a sigh of relief:
"I almost suffocated her!"
At this time, the girl clone on the screen has entered a passage,
and encountered the corpses of other clones,
However, she turned a blind eye to the clone corpses lying on the ground, and her face showed no emotion.
She walked straight past the corpses and continued inside, soon entering the white spot in the middle of the metal orb
space.
Under the gaze of the miniature detector,
The teenage clone knelt beneath the stone, then folded her hands as if praying for something.
That's it,
Two minutes......
After ten minutes, she didn't move.
Seeing this, Yang Meng finally stopped waiting,
He let the rover into the space, and through the sound transmission device, he said:
"What's your name?"
"What are you doing now?"
"What is this place?"
The sudden sound echoed throughout the white space,
Originally kneeling quietly on the ground like praying for the girl's "she"
Apparently frightened by the sudden sound.
"She" turned her head reluctantly,
Seeing the rover at the door, the pink child's hole shrank rapidly,
Although the clone in the form of a girl didn't make any sound,
But the tiny monitoring device that has been on "her" still detects violent fluctuations in brain waves.
The next moment, she struggled to her feet and ran towards another passage.
"It scared her!"
Seeing this scene, Yang Meng shook his head gently,
This is also one of the reasons why he doesn't want to speak out easily,
Even normal humans would be frightened when they heard a sudden voice from behind them in such a quiet environment.
……
At this time, the girl clone is about to escape into another spiral passage.
But how could Yang Meng let her run around,
I saw that the metal round door in front of the girl clone slowly closed, blocking "her" in her way.
For Yang Meng, who has already mastered the control system of the metal sphere, this clone has no place to escape.
Seeing that there is no way to escape,
The level of panic displayed by "her's" brain waves continued to rise.
I saw the clone in the shape of a girl against the wall,
turned to look at the mechanical car behind her, and saw that the mechanical car was coming towards her location,
She sat down on the ground,
Hands groping for something on the side,
It seems that he wants to pick up something to protect himself.
But this space is so clean,
She ended up finding nothing,
can only close his eyes, with white skin and weak hands in front of him,
She seemed to resist the next assault,
But what dangerous thing can a robot do to her?
Yang Meng saw that this clone was so scared,
He stopped approaching the mechanical car, and stopped at a certain distance from the girl clone.
And the girl clone,
After waiting for a while, I saw that there was no movement,
Carefully opened his eyes, through the gap between his fingers, with pink children's eyes, looked at the rover in the distance,
And Yang Meng, who was on the spaceship, saw the clone open his eyes again, so he continued:
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you!"
The girl clone who originally opened her eyes heard the sound of the mechanical car,
panicked again,
She wants to step back,
But the metal door behind him blocked the way out,
The backward action can only turn into slender legs kicking on the ground.
Although this time, the clones are still very flustered,
But through the brain waves, it can be seen that the mood swings are already below the peak just now.
And looking at the clones who are still struggling on the screen,
Yang Meng suddenly found a problem,
From the time of contact with the clone to the present, no matter what the situation, this clone has not made any sound,
If you are a normal woman,
In this case, the screams have long been incessant.
But this clone ......
Thinking of the fact that this teenage clone was silent, he couldn't help but say:
"It's not going to be a dumb person, is it?"
Yang Meng's subconscious language, through the sound transmission device, was uploaded from the spacecraft to the metal sphere.
The girl clone who was still struggling,
Hearing this, the struggling movement suddenly stopped.
