In fact, even though the empire is no longer entirely in the hands of the royal family, the royal family still has an important role, and while enjoying rights due to special physical qualities, it must also fulfill its obligations and be subject to the supervision of the people.

Therefore, as the sole heir of the empire, Gu Hazhi can choose to marry the girl he likes, but this choice is not without standards.

As long as her son likes it, she and Gu Hatzhi's father don't have any special requirements.

It's just that if the other party is some kind of rebel of the Empire, or someone who has been declared dead in a sense, let alone them, the people of the Empire will not agree. If you can't give birth to an heir, and the bloodline of the royal family can't continue, then the empire's control of mental power will also have problems.

Of course, she knows that her son has his own judgment, and according to her son's character, if the other party's character is problematic, he will definitely not like it, but she still hopes that his son will prepare for the worst.

Rong Fengyi smiled self-deprecatingly in her heart, this is a habit she has had since she became the queen of the empire, and it can be regarded as the price of sitting in this position.

"People who have already declared 'death'......" Gu was stunned for a moment.

Before that, he had thought that Mianmian might be locked up in an unknown place as a test subject, and had not communicated with the outside world, and even the knowledge she received was a "lie" told by others, but he had never thought about it in this direction.

But if Mianmian is one of these test subjects, even if she encounters the worst-case scenario, she shouldn't be ignorant of the empire......

Seeing her son's solemn expression, Rong Fengyi smiled: "I just said that, and it may not be the worst situation." What's more, you must know that the test subjects in the situation I just mentioned can be counted on a single hand, even in the entire Empire. The top genius in terms of mental power and other aspects other than the royal family...... How can it be so easy to encounter? ”

The reason why the empire was willing to invest so much in these people in the first place was naturally because of their particularity.

As long as they wake up, then the value they can bring to the empire will definitely make the empire's efforts more rewarding.

There are too few such people, let alone people of the same age......

Rong Fengyi thought so, and suddenly raised her eyes to find that after she said this, her son's expression became even more solemn.

Well?

Should...... No way?

Gu Hazhi naturally noticed his mother's pause, and tried his best to make his expression look relaxed: "I understand, you go on." ”

Rong Fengyi hesitated to look at her son for a few more seconds.

Even if he is still the expressionless face he used to be, after all, he is his own cub, she still knows very well where the other party is now.

However, since the other party said so, she still continued the previous topic: "For a period of time after that, the project was actually not very smooth, after all, the technology of materializing spiritual power, even now, is still very advanced. At the same time, the existence of the project in the empire gradually began to have different voices......"

In the beginning, due to the propaganda of the Empire, the people were still very much looking forward to the results of the experiment, after all, theoretically speaking, if the materialization of spiritual power could be realized, then the whole world would enter a new beginning, and even if they had physical accidents, they might be able to live through another form, which is not a small temptation for people.

However, when the experiment doesn't go well, and the empire keeps investing and doesn't seem to see any returns, someone will always be the first to start wavering.

To add insult to injury, the "human experimentation" itself is controversial.

What's more, the identities of the people involved in the experiments in this project were deliberately revealed, and the existence of those people was too special and they had all made great contributions to the empire. At the instigation of some, the entire empire began to debate whether the experimental project should continue.

"Even if the experiment is successful, the substantiation of mental power requires a lot of mental power from people themselves, so for the vast majority of people, they can't actually enjoy the direct benefits of this technology."

"You also know the final result, after all, this was many years ago......" Rong Fengyi paused for a moment: "It's okay if the experiment goes well, but under heavy pressure, the empire finally chose to terminate the experimental project." ”

Gu Haozhi nodded, the things he knew happened to be here.

He asked, "You're sitting here talking to me all this because this project isn't really over, is it?" After the experiment stopped, the original project director had an accident on the starship, which I thought might not have been an accident. ”

Rong Fengyi nodded, not surprised that her son could guess this.

If this experiment really ended here, she wouldn't be here now.

"I don't really know much about the rest. Not long after the experimental project was forced to be terminated, my friend's body finally passed away, and as a father, the project director was naturally very sad, thinking that if the experiment could continue, then his daughter, like those people, might also have a chance to 'live', so privately, he quietly transferred my friend and several other test subjects to another place......"

In the process, he was discovered by the Empire! This kind of blatant challenge to the authority of the empire naturally had to find a way to prevent it from appearing in the people's field of vision, so that incident was not exposed. While the Empire was hunting him, his starship had an accident...... If...... If it's really an accident......"

Rong Fengyi's voice paused: "He and the few test subjects he took away all disappeared in that accidental explosion. And the rest of the experimental subjects that he didn't have time to take away were well protected by the empire, and His Majesty at that time, that is, your grandfather, felt that maybe one day in the future, when the technology developed to a certain stage, the previous idea would really be realized...... As long as the mental power of those test subjects does not really dissipate, they are not truly dead, and naturally need to be protected. ”

In fact, no one has ever seen what the explosion really happened, or even whether they actually died from the explosion. The death was noted only in the final investigation report. After all, the probability of escaping from such an explosion is almost zero.

But because of this, she can't judge who her son says she likes.

"Not so long ago, however...... There was an accident in the place where the original 'test subjects' were kept. Rong Fengyi's expression became a little more solemn.

"Accident?" Gu Hate's heart jumped, and there was an indescribable premonition.

"Someone stole one of the 'test subjects', and by the time it was discovered, the signal had completely disappeared."
