Mecha Star Wars.

The training institute is certainly not a hospital, but a place like a research institute.

The so-called concentrated cultivation really means what it says.

"You guys..." Lin Fan looked at the advanced equipment operating in the transparent partition and didn't know what to say.

"It really is a robot..." Antonio muttered something nonsense in a daze.

Inside the partition, the robotic arms are still waving, but the noise is not as loud as on the production line. They take the embryos out of the freezer and send them to the appropriate instruments for thawing. The robotic arms behind are performing more delicate operations - on the magnified high-definition screen, you can see the probes piercing into the cells little by little...

Looking further back, the synthesized cells were sent into an egg-shaped transparent culture chamber with water in it. The culture chamber containing the cells was quickly sucked up by a robotic arm and moved to a place they could not see.

"After the embryo is complete, it will be placed in the incubator," Qiu Yi explained to everyone dutifully, not paying any attention to the surprised expressions of the people on the Noah. "In the incubator, the temperature and pressure are similar to those of the mother's body, and the special nutrient solution can help the embryo develop better."

He started the rail car and led the group forward.

Before Lin Fan and the others recovered from the shock of the artificial embryos, they saw the next cabin, which was an egg-shaped embryo cabin arranged neatly and reaching from floor to ceiling.

Each of them was connected to countless wires of unknown function, and each had an independent display screen in front of it, with a lot of moonlight characters on it, indicating the properties and status of the embryo, temperature and pressure, and the time to leave the cabin...

Both sides of the long corridor were filled with breeding cabins. Lin Fan no longer marveled at the advanced technology and was now feeling overwhelmed.

"You..." Lin Fan wanted to ask, "Will you not be morally condemned for doing this?" But then he thought that aliens didn't even have desires, so morality... might not exist, and it would easily cause disputes, so he changed the question. "Were you all born like this?"

"Yes." Qiu Yi's voice was steady, and there was no change on her face. "The people of Yuehua Star are all born this way. In the early days, in order to improve the genetic ratio, after the embryos were synthesized and sent to the incubator, there was a genetic test, and through artificial intervention, embryos with inferior genes were eliminated. Now that our genetic cells have become perfect, the artificial intervention procedure is naturally omitted."

"So this cell comes from..." Lin Fan carefully considered his words.

"Every adult Yuehua Star person has the obligation to provide genes for breeding and reproduce." Qiu Yi did not seem to feel anything wrong, and continued to speak calmly, "We will not waste too much personal energy on reproduction. After adulthood, the breeding institute will extract reproductive cells, and then screen and pair them according to each person's genes to synthesize the best embryo. Just like what you see. After the children leave the cabin, there will be special caregivers to take care of them intensively, gathering all the high-quality resources of this planet and growing together."

"Oh..." Lin Fan probably understood.

This is a new reproductive model that bypasses the emotional process and legal procedures and simplifies the steps directly from the embryo. Later, it is still unified training, without discrimination and difference, and everyone gets the same living and educational resources...

"Excuse me." Antonio couldn't help but speak, "Do you have a gender?"

When Lin Fan heard this, he almost got furious. He tried hard to control his gaze from looking at Qiu Yi's lower body and apologized repeatedly.

Qiao Yi seemed to really not care and answered calmly. "Of course. Although it is not obvious in appearance, we have gender differences in genes. But this difference is of no use to us, so when the genes were optimized, the obvious gender characteristics were removed, resulting in the perfect appearance you see now."

Fortunately, everything is fine! Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Qiu Yi's body again.

The Yuehua people always wear a fitted jumpsuit, and their bodies are like they are filled with cotton. The proportions are indeed good, but this body shape... at least the Lan people would not think it is perfect.

The chest is flat and the buttocks are slightly raised, but other than that, there is really no obvious gender characteristics like the Lanxing people. However, the Yuehua people do not need to give birth or breastfeed themselves, so it seems normal for their gender characteristics to be weakened.

Look at that face again. It's barely perfect. Although it looks like a man, it wouldn't look out of place if you put it on a female face.

No wonder everyone thinks it's beautiful yet strange. It turns out that it is achieved through acquired genetic adjustments. It is impossible to be naturally formed by nature.

Lin Fan remembered that there was no record of this in the museum, and she did not ask what led them to start artificial cultivation. She vaguely remembered that there seemed to be similar calls for artificial cultivation in Lanxing in recent years. Perhaps it was a stage of social progress.

But if you say this is progress...

She looked to both sides and it seemed as if there was no end to the densely packed culture chambers. It was hard to say that this was a concrete manifestation of progress.

"In this way... it seems to be just through artificial reproductive means..." Andingsao seemed to be more accepting. Seeing that no one spoke, he took the initiative to speak again.

"Yes." Qiu Yi replied, "More scientific and efficient means can liberate manpower and productivity and better promote the development of Yuehua Star. In fact, Yuehua Star has indeed developed very well as we expected."

After walking a little further, we finally got rid of the egg/nest-like incubator and entered the brightly lit...

"What are they doing?" Lin Fan saw two two-month-old Chinese men on the operating table surrounding a baby who was only a few months old, operating a robotic arm as if they were going to examine the child.

The little baby was chubby, with a slightly large head and no hair, and he didn't look like an adult. He whimpered, grinned, and waved his limbs around, as if trying to express his dissatisfaction.

"Oh, it's rare." Antonio said with a smile, "I can also see different expressions on your Yuehua faces."

"Soon there won't be any more." Seeing their interest, Qiu Yi stopped the car. "When the babies who leave the cabin are 100 days old, they will come here to undergo sympathetic nerve cutting surgery to cut off the nerves that control emotions. From now on, we will no longer be disturbed by useless emotions."

!!!

Everyone on the Noah was shocked. The translator covered her mouth with her hands, and even Merlinil frowned.

It turns out that Yuehua always has a cold face because the nerves that control his emotions have been cut off long ago!

"You mean," Jin Sichen couldn't help but speak out, "when you were born, your emotional nerves were normal, but through artificial intervention, they were cut off during infancy, which is why you are in a state of neither sadness nor joy now?"

"Yes."

"Why is this happening?" Lin Fan was puzzled.

She had always thought that the Yuehua people had no emotions because of genetic differences, but she didn't expect that it was the result of their own creation.

"Emotions can create unnecessary emotions that interfere with our efficiency and mislead us into making correct judgments. Our ancestors have tried for many years before coming to the conclusion that emotions are harmful to us, so it is best to remove them directly."

But can people who have no emotions and can only think and work still be considered human beings? Even if they also have flesh and blood.

Lin Fan wanted to say that this was not the case, that love had many benefits, but then he thought about how he had once been stuck in a quagmire of love, and had not yet completely gotten rid of the mud on his body...

If she cut off that nerve, would she no longer have to be afraid, act impulsively, or hesitate, and could think in the most rational way...

Jin Sichen pushed Lin Fan, interrupting her thoughts.

"But such a young child, who has never even experienced what love is, has been passively lost." Antonio felt unfair. "If you really feel that it is a burden, you can choose to remove it when it grows up. Why don't you give the child the right to choose?"

"Young children don't have the right to choose." Qiu Yi still answered indifferently.

If it were someone else, they would have some other emotions because of the questions asked by Lin Fan and the others, but his nerves in this regard had long been cut off, and he would neither be angry nor feel offended.

"Our current situation proves that the choice made by our ancestors is the most suitable and best. We don't need the right to choose, we just need to do our own thing and play our role in our own positions." Qiu Yi continued to answer expressionlessly. Seeing that everyone was no longer interested in the operation in the cabin, he controlled the rail car to move forward.

Lin Fan looked at Qiu Yi's smooth head, straight body, and methodical movements, as if he saw a huge robotic arm on an assembly line.

They have no emotions, no questions, and only know how to execute their instructions efficiently and correctly.

The entire Yuehua Star seems like a huge machine, and every person is a part of it, cold and advanced.

If the end of civilization development is like this...

Will Lanxing become like this one day?
