Chapter 34: Uncovering the Truth
Liang Tian said that it was different, and there was no more follow-up.
"Old man Liang, do you know what is the most unforgivable point about you?"
"Final acceptance conditions for the human colonization program to Mars."
"No, no, old man Liang, what I said is not so specific."
"What's that?"
"It's you, you always do half the talk."
"How so? When we do science, we know how to persevere to the end. ”
"No, let me tell you that, just like me, you just say [as long as I am there for a day, none of you want to open the back door for this little doll and go to the moon to implant the brain group in the laboratory], can't you say one more word and say it thoroughly? Do you know how many years I've resented you for this? ”
"Little doll, you have wronged people, you overheard this, and I didn't tell you."
"And what about later? Since you can go to the orphanage, find Jiang's mother and ask me what I want? Why can't you just ask me? ”
"Didn't you say back then that you hated the chief designer of human immigration to Mars the most?"
"Children say they hate anyone, but they don't really hate it, and even if they hate it today, they won't hate it tomorrow. Besides, if you feel that you have done something wrong, even if you are hated to your face, what can you do? ”
"Xiao Fangyuan, that's because you haven't experienced real homesickness."
"Isn't that cowardice? You can't change anything with an idiom. ”
"You little dolls don't understand."
Fang Yuandu began to be a little angry: "Then you will say that I understand!" ”
"Until you get it?" Liang Tian began to ponder Fang Yuan's words.
"Old man Liang, otherwise, for the sake of you trying to help me get my brain group early in the morning, don't wait for any memory modules to be shared, just tell me directly, what angry things have you done, I will help you analyze and analyze."
Fang Yuan wanted to make amends.
Although he knew very well that no matter what he did, as long as he couldn't completely erase the traces of the covert sabotage, he would not be able to escape the responsibility of destroying the Galactic Neighbor Project.
But it's better to do something than nothing.
"Okay. Instead of letting this matter have always been a taboo for the family, it is better to find someone with a bystander's perspective to evaluate it. ”
The story of [Mars Cave] starts with Liang Xinqu going to Mars to find his girlfriend Wu Zizi.
This trip was not arranged by Liang Tian or other black-box operations.
At that time, Liang Tian was only one of the scientists who proposed the human colonization plan to Mars.
There are several options, all of which seem to be somewhat feasible in theory.
But it's just theoretical, and none of it has been put into practice.
At that time, Liang Xinqu was still very young.
Because of the influence of my grandfather and father who are both astronauts, I naturally began to engage in space-related careers.
Liang Xinghuo's mother, Wu Zizi and Liang Xinqu, were undergraduate classmates.
I started to fall in love from my undergraduate, and I chose a different research direction from my master's degree.
Wu Zizi's research direction is the on-site development and utilization of lunar energy.
Liang Xinqu's research direction is the application of lunar energy on Mars.
In fact, the content of these two studies has a lot in common, and the biggest difference is that the research results are actually applied on different planets.
So much so that in the end, one on the moon and the other on Mars, a miserable alien love was opened.
But fortunately, they only left the earth for the doctoral project, and they could go back when the results were produced.
The Earth needs helium-three, and Mars, which is in its infancy, naturally needs it.
If Mars can have enough energy, the process of human transformation of Mars will also be greatly improved.
But the distance between Mars and the Moon is there, and the plan to transport energy from the Moon to Mars is only in the research stage.
Although the conditions on Mars are harsh, the cost of developing its own energy is still far lower than that of transporting it from the Earth or the Moon.
Liang soon found himself choosing a research direction that was unlikely to yield results.
If he can't find a small probability in [Unlikely], then he will have to change to a doctoral topic.
If it goes on like this, I don't know how many years it will take to graduate.
At that time, the Moon Human Experiment Base and the Martian Human Experiment Base also had an energy cooperation pilot project, which needed on-site support and exploration from experts.
Originally, this level of things must not be the turn of Liang Xinqu, who is still a student.
But before his departure, his doctoral supervisor suddenly fell ill and needed to return to Earth for treatment.
In the end, Liang Xinqu was appointed.
Temporarily going to such a far place, others may not be very willing, Liang Xinqu is so happy because of Wu Zizi.
Therefore, Liang Xinqu passed through a cooperative project in earnest.
Getting together with my girlfriend at the Mars test base is just a giveaway from this project.
I just didn't expect that the giveaway also came with a giveaway, and there were two at once.
At first, Wu Zizi didn't know it herself.
First, Liang Xinqu has taken protective measures, and in the years since he read yes, he has not dealt with his girlfriend less.
Second, after a girl arrives on Mars, her period will only come once every few months.
By the time Wu Zizi found out that she was pregnant, Liang Xinqu had already decided to give up the original research direction and prepare to reopen the topic on the way back to the moon.
Liang Xinqu and Wu Zizi discussed what to do.
Liang Xinqu thinks that the child should be born, and gave a very nonsensical reason: "Your boyfriend is obviously going to delay graduation, and you just have a child and wait." ”
At first, Wu Zizi was actually a little reluctant.
She has been waiting for the artificial womb technology to mature, and then easily have her own child without going through October pregnancy.
But when Liang Xinqu said so, she began to hesitate.
This hesitation hesitated until Liang Xinghuo and Liang Xinglan "punched and kicked" in the stomach.
No matter how technology develops, this feeling of blood being thicker than water will still fascinate my mother.
At this time, no matter how few people there are in the Martian human test base, no matter how much they wear loose clothes, no matter how much they want to hide, there is no way to hide.
Liang Xinqu finally told Liang Tian about his girlfriend's pregnancy.
At that time, the debate on the human colonization plan for Mars had entered a white-hot stage.
Liang Tian's first reaction when he knew about this matter was not how much it would help his granddaughter-in-law to get pregnant, and how much it would help him to put forward the version of the Martian immigration plan.
Because he didn't think that plan would pass.
Liang Tian asked a very normal question that a grandfather would ask:
When was you born? 】
[When can I bring it back to Earth for me to see?] 】
[Did you get a name?] 】
If it continues to develop normally, there will be no [Martian Cave] in this world, and even if there is, it will not be so fast.
But the unexpected always comes when people are unprepared.
At that time, the Earth, the Moon, and Mars were all studying the brain group.
Earth is making a final effort for the Pratt & Whitney version, and the more radical Mars is mainly promoting the laboratory version.
None of them have started human trials yet.
Wu Zizi was bent on completing her own project before production.
After it was confirmed that she was pregnant, she did only one less detailed examination and confirmed that she was pregnant with twins.
It's not that she doesn't care about the child in her belly, it's that the Mars test base originally didn't have the experimental conditions for [natural pregnancy].
The existing machines are all adapted to the artificial womb, and when it comes to natural pregnancy, even if you want to be careful, you can't be careful.
Although the basic pregnancy test is not detailed enough, because of the existence of the Mars Brain Group Laboratory, the full genetic sequences of the two children in the womb have been tested.
It doesn't matter if you don't expect it, you can detect a problem as soon as you test it.
These two children have severe birth defects, and both are heart-based.
Of course, this result is only speculation, not supported by images.
The Mars Brain Group Laboratory modified a machine to detect an artificial womb and gave a comprehensive examination of the child in Wu Zizi's belly.
The images come to a more pessimistic conclusion.
The twins' congenital heart problems, even in the 2040s, are likely to be incurable after birth.
If the doctor had seen such a heart image twenty years earlier, he would have directly recommended the termination of the pregnancy.
If you are born on Earth, meet the top hospitals, the top doctors, and have the most advanced equipment, perhaps, there is a way to extend your life a little.
Just being born in the Martian human experimental base is basically equivalent to a death sentence.
At this time, there was only one laboratory version of the brain group that had passed the test at the Martian human test base.
The full sequence of the gene has not been entered.
Be prepared to start human experiments when the time is right.
The congenital implanted brain group, whether it is the inclusive version or the laboratory version, has the function of correcting genetic diseases and introducing all languages.
Liang Xinghuo and Liang Xinglan were in Wu Zizi's stomach, leaning on the umbilical cord.
Once born, the heart is used, which has been almost condemned to death by modern medicine.
Wu Zizi was in a state of collapse at this time.
Naturally, the Mars test base does not have the best medical conditions for newborns.
As a mother, she quickly set her sights on the laboratory version of the brain group.
As long as the congenital implantation can be completed, her child will still have the possibility of healthy growth.
Liang Tian himself thought that it was impossible to pass the acceptance criteria of the human immigration to Mars program, and passed it at this time.
After Liang Xinqu collapsed in Wu Zizi, he also paid attention to the laboratory version of the brain group of Mars.
But there was only one brain group that met the criteria for human trials.
Which of the twins to give?
After the trial application was approved, Liang Xinqu made a decision and chose a girl whose survival was likely to be higher.
The decision was certainly tough.
The moment the brain group is implanted, it will stimulate the heart of the human embryo, which is the first to take shape.
Only those with a higher chance of survival are more likely to withstand the full process of innate implantation to correct genetic diseases.
The possibility of one life is always more acceptable than two death-bound images.
