In the living room in the afternoon, everyone sat there, quietly listening to Mr. Xun's narration, and felt that the secret that had been troubled for a long time was finally about to be solved at this time.

Many years ago, the K52 scientific research and exploration ship from the Terrakotir Empire, carrying the mission of investigating star beasts, came to the water blue star, which was still a primitive civilization at that time.

Because the star area near the water blue star has extremely rich star beast-related resources, the scientific research and exploration ship has established a scientific research station here to conduct in-depth research and investigation.

However, the subsequent electromagnetic storm caused serious damage to the research station, and Zhaojun was also lost in the process.

Not only that, in this natural disaster, the staff of the entire scientific research station, that is, all the members of the K52 scientific research and exploration ship, were not spared.

In the decades that followed, the research station came to a standstill until the broken energy plates slowly restarted after absorbing solar energy.

And this launch has also driven ...... Cloning device is back in operation.

"Cloning device?" When Li Luming heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, "Can I understand that it is a device for making clons?" ”

"Yes." Smoke replied expressionlessly.

Li Luming felt as if he had guessed something, and looked at Zhaojun next to him.

Zhaojun immediately replied: "Yes, at that time, the scientific research station was equipped with cloning equipment, because there were not enough scientific research personnel, so it was necessary to train clones as assistants. ”

Li Luming turned his head to look at the smoke: "So, you are ......"

"Yes." Xun continued his explanation, "At that time, the staff of the scientific research station, although they were all ...... However, the cloning device still followed the instructions and created some clones. ”

"Our ancestors, these clones, took over the mission of the research station and continued to investigate the star beasts and maintain the safety of the galactic environment."

"However, because the electromagnetic storm has not completely stopped, our ancestors gave up the scientific research station after discussion, carried some equipment, and entered the subspace to take refuge."

"Wait!" When Sister Xia Xia heard this, she suddenly asked, "How can you find the subspace?" ”

"We didn't find it." Xun replied very sincerely, "Actually, it was discovered before the scientific research station, and there is a subspace in the Kunlun region of your water blue star that is not stable. ”

"Uh, Kunlun region?" Li Luming asked cautiously, "Not Zhoushan?" ”

"Yes." Smoke nodded and replied, "At the time of discovery, the mountain collapsed due to the lack of stability in this subspace, and this was also considered a myth by you. ”

Understood, no wonder what your base will be called Buzhou Mountain.

Li Luming thought thoughtfully: "Then? ”

Xun replied very seriously: "Although the electromagnetic storm destroyed the scientific research station, it was unexpected and stabilized this subspace. ”

Li Luming was slightly surprised: "In other words, after the electromagnetic storm, Buzhou Mountain stabilized, and you also took the opportunity to move there?" ”

Xun replied very seriously: "Yes, we have always followed our mission and built the subspace into a new scientific research base, even if thousands of years have passed, it has never changed." ”

This loyalty...... Won't it fall?

Li Luming was in awe, and Zhaojun gave him popular science on the side: "In order to prevent the cloning from mutiny, the scientific research station implanted unmodifiable genetic instructions in the cultivation at that time. ”

"That is, no matter how many generations the clones have bred, this supreme genetic instruction is always ingrained in their minds?"

"That's right, the highest genetic instruction of the scientific research station is to require clones to cooperate with the scientific research station and perform a series of tasks related to star beasts."

Okay, Li Luming looked at Sister Xia Xia, and Sister Xia Xia nodded and said, "I understand, so you have been staying in subspace all the time and have not contacted the Galactic Management Committee, right?" ”

"Why contact?" Smoke asked very seriously.

Sister Xia Xia: "Well...... this"

I really can't answer, people can develop in subspace, and there is no need, which really doesn't need to have anything to do with the Galactic Alliance.

"But aren't you part of a research ship?" Li Luming couldn't help but ask another question, "The research ship belongs to the Terrakotier Empire, and you don't have contact with the Terrakotier Empire?" ”

"The Terrakotil Empire is ruined." Smoke replied seriously, "In fact, after the research station was hit by an electromagnetic storm, the Terrakotil Empire no longer existed. ”

"Huh? Because there was also an electromagnetic storm? ”

"......No," replied with a blank face, "The planet where the Terrakotil Empire is located has encountered a star beast calamity. ”

Li Luming: "......??? ”

Sister Xia Xia and them: "......??? ”

Well, at this moment, everyone thought of the video record they had seen.

Uh, could it be, in that video record, the planet destroyed by the Calamity is the Terrakotil Empire, right?

"It doesn't matter." Sister Xia Xia waved her hand and looked at the smoke opposite, "In short, I can understand that you are an isolated ...... A high-tech version of the Hidden Martial Arts Sect? ”

This metaphor is really apt.

Li Luming nodded silently, and Xun was also stunned for a moment, thinking about the meaning of the word, and then nodded: "That's right." ”

Gao Yaran listened for a long time, and then asked curiously: "Then what are you doing in Buzhou Mountain?" ”

Xun turned his head to look at her, and his expression became serious: "We are following the instructions of the K52 scientific research station of the Terrakotier Empire, and continue to carry out a series of actions related to the star beast. ”

"For years?"

"Yes."

"Even if the Terrakotil Empire no longer exists?"

"Yes."

Well, Li Luming and the others looked at each other, not knowing what to say, which seemed to be a very stubborn ...... Loyal?

Why do such a thing? And you're just cloning, aren't you?

As if knowing what they were thinking, Smoke raised his head very seriously, his eyes bright: "It may seem to you that this is stupidity, but I think ...... We are here, carrying on the legacy of an ancient empire. ”

"Huh?" Li Luming looked at her in slight surprise.

"Yes, the Terrakotir Empire has been destroyed." Smoked looked at the sky expressionlessly, "But, as long as we exist, the inheritance of the empire has not been interrupted. ”

"Who said that human clones can't represent the continuation of the empire's civilization? Aside from the use of cloning technology, is there any difference between us and the people of the Empire? ”

"We are the empire, and the empire is us...... Buzhou Mountain, not only our base, but also the last spark of the empire! ”

At this moment, there was silence in the living room, and everyone fell into silence.

The sun shines through the window on the side face of the smoker, and her serious countenance is bright and shining, full of hope and conviction.

Li Luming touched his chin and looked at her very seriously: "I'm sorry, I have to apologize seriously, Teacher Xun...... You guys are amazing. ”
