【Chapter 429, Gene Fusion】

Although all the current conclusions are Xiao Lou's speculation, the teammates all know that the possibility of the speculation is extremely high.

The timelines fit perfectly.

The Morse code left by Shao Qingge's father, and the company's investment project prospectus found by Shao Qingge clearly show that the Noah's Ark project has been launched twice.

The first time was in 2975 in the star calendar, which coincided with Xiao Lou's birth date, but all the babies died because of the culture medium, and the plan was forced to terminate. The second time was in the year 2980 of the star calendar. Although the clone project was successful this time, a serious problem occurred in the middle, and all the insiders were silenced.

In the same year, the captain of the starship Dark Night was taken back to the capital planet, and humans discovered the alien Zerg for the first time.

The seemingly weak Zerg has a strong ability to evolve and reproduce. The rapid reproduction of the creep has given scientists new inspiration. They let the cells copied by humans incorporate the genes of the Zerg and grow rapidly, even within a year. Growing up to five years old, this can also explain why the three Xiaolou in the palace are the same age.

Ye Qi couldn't believe such a crazy thing, he couldn't help looking at Xiao Lou, and tremblingly said: "Are they treating human beings as plants to study? They actually fused the genes of other species into human cells?! This Isn’t it the same as cultivating genetically modified vegetables and hybrid fruits?”

Xiao Lou said with a sullen face: "There are many examples of plant hybridization, such as the hybridization of tangerine and wild pomelo to produce oranges, and the hybridization of oranges and citrons to produce lemons... But these plants have no consciousness and no thoughts, and researching new species will not be harmful. The original species caused harm. However, the study of human beings is too much, beyond the scope of scientific ethics! No one is sure whether the fusion of Zerg genes and human genes will produce mutations, or even genetic diseases that are difficult to treat! "

With the development of human natural science for so many years, gene sequencing has been carried out for a long time, but why are scientists afraid to modify and fuse human genes? Is it because they don't have the ability?

No, but they dare not be the sinners of the ages.

Many family genetic diseases come from genes, and no one knows what the consequences will be if the genes are modified at will. What if the person whose genes have been modified combines with other humans, and the offspring born will have serious genetic diseases? Once this defective gene enters human society, it may even have a devastating blow to human beings!

What's more, is it to fuse the genes of other races into the human body?

Once this precedent is set, will scientists in the future be able to edit the genes of birds and beasts into human cells at will, and "create" all kinds of weird replicants? What exactly is the "experiment" produced in that way? Human-bird fusion? Human-cat fusion? Even a human-pig fusion?

The reason why there is "reproductive isolation" in nature, and different species cannot reproduce offspring, is to preserve the uniqueness of each species. And once this natural law is broken, human beings will no longer be human beings.

Thinking that there might be Zerg genes in his body, Xiao Lou felt chills all over his body. He closed his eyes, forced himself to calm down, looked back at Yu Hanjiang and said, "I guess, after they captured that captain, It was discovered that the captain’s ability to climb and jump is very good, and he can heal himself after being injured. They thought it would be great if all human beings had this ability, so they took the captain’s gene for research.”

Yu Hanjiang nodded in agreement: "Well, after all, in their eyes, that captain is similar to 'Superman'. Taking his genes for research also echoes the style of those mad scientists."

Xiao Loudao: "So, it is very likely that I also have Zerg genes in my body?"

Yu Hanjiang gently pressed his shoulders, and said in a gentle voice, "Don't mind these things, you are you, your identity, experience, and even the genes in this secret room are all set by the gatekeepers. We will leave this world after all. .”

Xiao Lou smiled and said: "I understand. I just want to try, if I have Zerg genes, can I inherit some of the Zerg's outstanding abilities?" He walked up to Chu Huaying: "Hua Ying, borrow your dagger."

Chu Huaying didn't know what he was going to do and handed him the dagger.

Xiao Lou picked up the dagger, aimed at his left arm, and cut without hesitation, his movements were crisp and neat!

Yu Hanjiang's expression changed, and he immediately stepped forward and grabbed his wrist: "What are you doing?"

Xiao Lou observed the bloodstain on his arm. The moment the dagger cut his arm just now, he clearly felt the pain. A line of blood flowed down the wound to the ground, showing no signs of healing.

Only then did Yu Hanjiang understand - he actually used this method to test whether he had the ability to heal?

Seeing him cut himself, Yu Hanjiang's heart ached slightly, and he glanced at Shao Qingge: "Help."

Shao Qingge walked over with a chuckle, and said to Xiao Lou: "Obviously, you have not inherited the healing ability of the Zerg, so you still have to rely on me." He put his fingers lightly on Xiao Lou's wound.

Because the wound is very shallow, the Ace of Worms can easily treat such wounds. The scratches on Xiao Lou's arm healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the skin that grew back was smooth and delicate, with no scars visible at all.

Xiao Lou looked at the healing wound, thoughtful: "Is it because the captain's evolution level is not high enough to have the ability of Zerg to heal wounds? Or is it that the Zerg gene mutated after fusion with humans, and humans did not inherit this ability? ability?"

Chu Huaying frowned and said: "From what Uncle Qin said, the former captain can evolve into a Zerg and negotiate with the Queen of the Zerg. The level should not be low... maybe the second.

In this case, humans cannot inherit this ability. "

Yu Hanjiang said in a low voice: "There is another situation."

Xiao Lou looked back at the other party.

Yu Hanjiang's eyes were gentle, and he said word by word: "You are not a clone."

Xiao Lou: "..."

This sentence made the teammates stunned, because the conclusion that Xiao Lou is a replicant was just deduced not long ago, but Yu Hanjiang now denies this reasoning?

Of course, in the previous secret room, there were many cases where the reasoning went wrong.

They speculate that the key reason why Xiao Lou is a replicant is that Xiao Lou did not attend the prince's engagement banquet, nor did he attend the key birthday banquet, but was always hidden in the twin wombs by His Majesty...

But these are not based on actual performance, whether Xiao Lou is a clone, only His Majesty can know.

Maybe Princess Xiaorou also knows something?

Thinking of this, Xiao Lou said: "Think about the next plan, do you want to go back to the blue planet to find my sister?"

At that time, they temporarily boarded Chu Huaying's starship and rushed to Shilt No Man's Land, firstly, to remind Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci of their lost memories; secondly, they also wanted to find the whereabouts of Liu Qiao and others along the way.

Now the first goal has been achieved, but Liu Qiao and his whereabouts are still unknown.

Yu Hanjiang said: "The blue planet is a planet where humans live, since your sister married there, maybe Liu Qiao and the others are also on that planet... Anyway, we have no other place to go now, so let's go back to the blue planet. "

Everyone has no objection to this decision.

It's just that Chu Huaying is on the wanted blacklist of all countries in the federation, has no ID card, and can't directly enter the space station of the blue planet; while Xiao Lou, Yu Hanjiang, Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci all escaped from the capital star secretly, and there is no application at all. Without a passport, there is no way to enter this planet with a high-sounding appearance.

Fortunately, there are no restrictions on cards here, and there are many ways.

Xiao Lou suggested: "Mr. Shao and Ye Qi go to the Azure Planet, and then use the Peach Blossom Land to transport us."

Chu Huaying said: "I will use the starship to send you to the space station, so I won't go with you, it's better to stay on the starship, so that I can provide you with transportation at any time wherever you want to go, and everyone can act. More convenient."

She is now the leader of the Star Thief, and it is really inconvenient to go to the blue planet. It is even more dangerous if she is caught, she might as well stay on the starship freely and continue to be a Star Thief.

Xiao Lou agreed with her suggestion: "Okay, you have to pay attention to safety."

Chu Huaying nodded, walked to the console and pressed a few buttons, the starship Dark Night slid across the night sky like a shooting star, and soon left Hilt's no-man's land, taking a shortcut to the blue planet.

**

After several hours of sailing, a water-blue planet appeared in everyone's field of vision.

Xiao Lou turned on the navigation and positioning, pointed to the blue planet and said: "This is the human settlement in the Aquarius star field. There is only one country on this planet called the Azure Empire, and the relationship with the Luoke Empire has always been very good. Twenty years Before, my sister married the prince of this country, and now she is the princess."

Ye Qi suddenly asked curiously: "How much older is your sister than you?"

Xiao Lou had a very vague impression of this sister. After thinking about it, he said, "When I was 5 years old, she should have married at exactly 20 years old. She was 15 years older than me."

Ye Qi scratched his head: "It's strange, Your Majesty and the Queen gave birth to Princess Xiaorou, and they have not had children for the next 15 years?"

Xiao Lou was slightly startled when he heard this, and then said: "I also have a brother Wang who is one year older than me, but unfortunately he died later. Your Majesty said that this brother Wang was poisoned to death."

Ye Qi murmured: "That is to say, after Your Majesty and the Queen gave birth to Princess Xiaorou, it took almost 13 years before you gave birth to your brother Wang. Then, the eldest prince was poisoned by an assassin, followed by 1 Give birth to you again within the year?"

The more the teammates listened, the more strange it became.

Under normal circumstances, if the relationship between the couple is harmonious, the interval between childbirth is mostly controlled within 2 to 3 years. If the woman gives birth naturally, the interval between the two children is also very common. Today's reproductive technology should be greatly improved compared to the past, and the risk of having a child is very small. How could your majesty and queen have no children for 13 consecutive years?

How could the princess be 14 or 15 years older than her younger brother?

Xiao Lou didn't think of this detail before, but now that Ye Qi reminded him, he also felt that the situation was not quite right, maybe His Majesty's launch of the clone plan had something to do with it? Could it be that His Majesty or Queen has a genetic defect, and the children born will die young? The emperor's brother who was 1 year older than himself died not from an assassin's assassination, but from a genetic disease?

Perhaps, His Majesty wants to copy the prince in order to modify the genes of the offspring?

Xiao Lou pressed his temple lightly. He still can't figure out the reason why His Majesty did this, but Xiao Rou must know something. Perhaps many mysteries can only be truly revealed after seeing this sister.

*****

【Chapter 430, Azure Planet】

Since Chu Huaying's starship travels much faster than ordinary interstellar passenger spaceships, when they arrived at the blue planet, the spaceship that Shao Qingge and Ye Qi took was still 3 hours away from the terminal.

Shao Qingge and Ye Qi have ticket purchase records. If they want to go through the security check of the space station to enter the blue planet, the security check personnel can find the information of the spaceship they are on. Their early arrival at the station will definitely arouse suspicion.

Chu Huaying drove the starship to a hidden corner, waiting for the passenger spaceship.

In 3 hours, everyone just takes a break, eats something, and tidies up by the way

train of thought.

Yu Hanjiang briefly summarized the current clues, and said: "The first doubt is, who is the person who saved Brother Jiu and Mr. Tang on the Zerg planet? Why did Brother Jiu and Mr. Tang lose this part of their memories? Second, Your Majesty opened the What is the reason for the Noah's Ark project, and the reason why all the insiders were silenced back then?"

Xiao Lou added: "Thirdly, am I a replicant? What exactly does Your Majesty want to do with raising so many replicants in the palace? Also, who sent the invisible assassin who sneaked into the twin wombs and reminded me on my birthday?" Yes, he said—what do you mean by living to the end is the winner?"

As long as all the doubts can be explained and the truth revealed, the fundamental problem of this secret room should be resolved.

As for the way of customs clearance...

Ye Qi guessed: "Do we need to expose the conspiracy of the year, solve the remaining troubles of the replicator plan, kill His Majesty, and support Professor Xiao to take the position, so that we can pass the level?"

Xiao Lou's identity is the prince after all, and there are at least two copies of him in the palace.

This sensitive identity will not allow him to pass the level with the ending of "retiring from the rivers and lakes". Either he will be killed by other princes and become a victim of struggle; or he will win the throne by himself. It is impossible for another "Xiao Lou" to become His Majesty, and still let him live at ease.

Therefore, Ye Qi's speculation is actually very reasonable.

Xiao Lou has a noble status, but this status will also bring him danger.

Lu Jiuchuan held his forehead with a headache: "Do you want us to lead soldiers to fight?"

Tang Ci said calmly: "Since we escaped from Capital Star, if we want to go back again, we have to prepare for the worst."

Everyone fell silent.

How to pass the secret room this time, the gatekeeper did not point out a clear way for everyone, but up to now, everyone is already in a difficult situation, and they must first investigate the matter of the clone, and protect Xiao Lou, who has a special identity.

Three hours passed quickly, and an interstellar passenger spaceship appeared in Chu Huaying's starship radar monitoring area.

It was the same boat that Shao Qingge and Ye Qi took before.

Chu Huaying looked at Shao Qingge, and warned: "My starship can't land at the space station. After the passenger spaceship lands, you can teleport the card and fly over there secretly, and mix in the passenger line to pass the security check."

Shao Qingge nodded: "Understood."

Ye Qi joked, "Would it be strange if the passengers recognized us? Aren't the two of you captured by the Star Thieves? Why are you here?"

Shao Qingge smiled slightly, took out a pair of sunglasses from his pocket, and put them on Ye Qi's face with his own hands: "In this way, no one will recognize us." When he was wearing the sunglasses, his fingertips accidentally slipped past Ye Qi Ye Qi only felt that the place he touched was slightly hot, and could not help but whisper: "I'm not a child, I wear it myself."

"Father wears it for you." Shao Qingge said with a smile, "When I was young, I even took a bath with you in my arms."

"..." Ye Qi blushed, "Shut up!"

Mr. Shao bullies Xiaoye every day, and his teammates have long seen it.

Xiao Lou came over, handed the card [Tao Yuanming] to Shao Qingge, and said, "The Peach Blossom Land skill is cooling down, and it will not be available until 24:00 tonight. Mr. Shao, after you arrive at Azure Empire, you should settle down in the hotel first, by the way Investigate the surrounding environment, make sure it is safe, and pull us over as soon as 24:00 arrives."

Shao Qingge took the card: "Don't worry."

The passenger spaceship landed at the space station. Chu Huaying drove a small battle armor to send Shao Qingge and Ye Qi to the vicinity of the space station. When the spaceship stopped on the tarmac and the passengers were about to finish landing one after another, Shao Qing Ge and Ye Qi used teleportation cards to line up at the end of the line.

The passengers at the back felt a gust of wind blowing by, and when they turned around, they saw two men, one tall and one short, standing in the line wearing sunglasses, and the boy in front smiled at her, revealing two lovely dimples.

At the security checkpoint, the staff checked the pass information, the boat ticket and identity were all fine, and they were allowed to pass quickly.

Shao Qingge and Ye Qi successfully entered the Azure Empire.

Shao Qingge booked the hotel online long before departure. He booked the luxurious presidential suite of the local five-star Ferris Wheel Hotel. There are three bedrooms, which is convenient for his teammates to live together.

Shao Qingge called a suspension car and took Ye Qi to the hotel to check in.

The whole hotel is like a huge Ferris wheel, all the rooms are suspended in the air like balls, Shao Qingge and Ye Qi took the hotel elevator to the tallest ball, opened the door and entered.

The room is very spacious, fully furnished, and luxuriously decorated. The key is that the view is extremely wide.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, Ye Qi said with emotion: "A room in the sky, the transparent skylight on the roof can see the stars, standing in the living room can also see the night view of the whole city..." Shao Qingge thought he was going to praise the luxury of the room, but Ye Qi The topic changed: "What about fear of heights?"

Shao Qingge walked up to him, and said helplessly: "You always find another way of thinking."

Ye Qi smiled and carefully observed the city under his feet: "It is as prosperous as the capital of the Luoke Empire, but this country has more buildings in the air, and most of the surfaces of the buildings are painted blue and white, which is very Refreshing and clean."

Shao Qingge nodded: "Well, the palace should be in that direction."

He pointed to the distant sky with his finger.

The royal palace of the Azure Empire is also a suspended building in the air. People in this country probably think that the taller they live, the more honorable they are. The royal palace is located at the highest point of the entire city. It must not be so easy to sneak into the royal palace. If you take the flying armor, it is estimated that

Before Ji gets close, he will be shot and killed by the palace defense forces.

Ye Qi looked at the time on the electronic clock on the wall, and suggested: "It's only half an hour until 24 o'clock, why don't you go take a shower first?"

Shao Qingge narrowed his eyes slightly: "Are you caring about me?"

Ye Qi looked away embarrassingly, and said softly, "Although the wound on your body has healed and you have changed into clean clothes, after all, you fought with the Zerg for a long time just now... it will be better to take a bath."

The corners of Shao Qingge's lips raised slightly, and he asked in a low voice, "Do you want to wash with Dad?"

Ye Qi blushed, "What are you talking about? I'm not a child!"

Shao Qingge leaned over with a half-smile, and jokingly said in Ye Qi's ear, "Then we'll talk about it later."

Ye Qi was stunned, looking at the back of the man who turned and left, his heart beat suddenly like a drum. He touched his hot face and felt that his mood was not quite right today. Maybe it was because he saw the scene of Shao Qingge fighting bloody again, which reminded him of Shao Qingge not hesitating to block for him in 8 of spades. that blow of...

In fact, ignore that Shao Qingge always loves to tease him, in essence, Shao Qingge has always been very kind to him.

Even saved him at a critical moment, more than once.

Ye Qi was in a mess, so he turned on his optical brain and searched for the latest news from Azure Empire to divert his attention.

Suddenly, his eyes fixed on the headlines.

[The princess of the Azure Empire will hold a grand charity dinner in two days? 】

Ye Qi's eyes lit up, isn't this princess the sister of Xiao Lou? !

After Shao Qingge came out of the shower, it happened to be past 24:00, Ye Qi hurriedly said: "Call Professor Xiao and the others over quickly, I have made an important discovery!"

Tao Yuanming appeared in the room and opened the Peach Blossom Spring.

Xiao Lou and the others who had been waiting were dragged directly into the peach blossom garden by Shao Qingge.

When everyone walked out of Taohuayuan, the space had already changed, and it became the Presidential Suite of the Ferris Wheel Hotel that Shao Qingge had booked.

Lu Jiuchuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Although these cards of Xiao Lou have no offensive power, they are really easy to use. Collective space teleportation, whether it is escaping or changing positions, is as convenient as opening a time-space portal."

If there was Xiao Lou in the original team, maybe they could pass the Plum Blossom J Chamber of Secrets.

Thinking of the sacrificed teammates, Lu Jiuchuan's expression darkened, and he changed the subject: "After all, we escaped secretly, how can we meet Xiao Rou? It's not appropriate to break into the palace directly, right?"

Ye Qi magnified the LCD screen of the optical brain in front of everyone, and said excitedly: "Look at this news! Two days later, the princess will hold a charity dinner at the Sailing Hotel in the Azure Empire."

Just now when Mr. Shao was taking a bath, Ye Qi checked a lot of information about the princess.

Xiao Lou leaned over to take a look, and couldn't help but smile on his face: "Good job Xiaoye, we can start with the charity dinner and find a way to sneak into the dinner party and meet my sister."

Xiao Rou has been doing charity for these years. She holds a charity dinner every year, and the rich merchants of the empire also give her face. She will donate all the money obtained from the jewelry auction to the orphanage.

Lu Jiuchuan touched his chin: "How to get in? Can Han Jiang and I pretend to be security guards?"

Yu Hanjiang said: "You can refer to the last time, and use the [Mask] card to pretend to be a soldier of the guard."

Shao Qingge had just finished taking a shower, and he couldn't help squinting his eyes when he heard this: "Did you forget a card?"

Xiao Lou came to his senses: "The sapphire necklace you drew in the tenth level?"

Shao Qingge said: "That's right, when I got this necklace, I thought it was quite useless. After all, we are not short of money, and now it can come in handy. If I remember correctly, this necklace can also increase Favorability."

Ye Qi's eyes lit up: "That's right! Give Xiao Rou the sapphire necklace, she must like it very much, maybe after increasing her favorability, she will be able to stand on our side?"

Shao Qingge said: "I'm a businessman from the Luoke Empire. I have always admired the princess of our empire. I heard that she held a charity dinner, so I decided to give her the jewelry from my collection. Is this reasonable enough?"

The teammates looked at each other and thought it was a good idea.

The sapphire necklace is an S-card drawn by Mr. Shao when he passed the tenth level. After it becomes a real thing, it is absolutely priceless.

If you treat the characters in the secret room as conscious and emotional NPCs, and when you meet an NPC, give a gift to increase your favorability, maybe the NPC will really help them?
