A Couple Made in Heaven [Interstellar]

Before the illegal cultivation of genetic information was exposed, a batch of creations that Harris personally judged as "waste" had been transferred out, but the specific transfer destination was unknown.

Harris was very careful when destroying the experimental traces. The number of "finished products" cultivated by him is still unknown. The palace can only calculate based on which information in the gene pool has been illegally extracted, and how many additional cultivation resources have been used. It is impossible to make a rough figure accurate—because Harris’s ideal is "technological intervention in evolution", and he expects to breed extraordinary species through his hands. Of course, he is not a person who will follow the conventional training plan to "create" However, in the conventional training plan, the cultivation resources and the breeding individuals are proportional to each other. Once this routine is broken, the resources needed by the individuals are no longer fixed, and the overall loss is used to push the number of individuals backwards, which becomes a piece of cake. Difficult.

After detecting traces of illegal tampering in Wei Pingrong's genetic data, McAllen and others, who were the first to consult the analysis results, realized that the batch of "experimental waste" that was successfully transferred may be different from everyone else's. What I originally thought was that Harris sent out the star in advance with the help of Nei Ying.

Harris's imagination in cultivating alien creatures is unrivaled. Among his star-studded creation ideas, the series of "superintelligence" based on silicon life must be just one of them. He has also imagined it in all likelihood. Add abilities to the original carbon-based life forms, and transform the cultured bodies by tampering with genetic information, injecting special viruses, and implanting microchips in the body.

Just like the failures of the "ultra-intelligence" series are almost the same as ordinary artificial intelligence, and it is basically impossible to see the clues without using advanced technical means to conduct a comprehensive test. This kind of failure caused by "direct modification" of primitive carbon-based life It is very likely that a large number of the characteristics of the original living body are retained, and the difference will not be found for a while after mixing with the original population.

With this small difference value that is so small that it is difficult to distinguish, Harris can avoid sending out these "waste products" that are close to the original life form. With the help of my accomplices, I cleaned up the relevant information, and then I could mix this batch of cubs into the formal breeding room, and pass them off as normal cubs to the parents who came to pick up the results of the cultivation.

Moreover, he was not worried about being discovered afterwards.

Anyway, these failed works have been judged as failures in the hands of Harris, and there has been no significant evolutionary reaction. Naturally, they will not have the opportunity to return to the hall to study and receive long-term care from the hall in the future, and the little guy was brought back by his parents. If the Star Queen showed any performance that was very different from that of the original race, considering their test values ​​that were too weak to be worth mentioning, it is conceivable that the performance would not be too great.

In the past breeding cases of the Palace Research Institute, there are precedents where the cubs were "negatively affected" and the parents would read the relevant documents and sign the agreement before confirming the breeding.

A not-so-big difference in performance can basically be classified as "negative influence". Those unlucky parents who are kept in the dark will only think that this is some kind of congenital defect of their cubs, and will not think of their cubs. The little guy was transformed during the breeding process.

Ordinary parents would not be held accountable because it is difficult to know the bad luck that befell their children. Like Wei Tianwen and his wife, they were selected to participate in the "New Humanity Project" and signed a confidentiality agreement. They knew it before providing genetic information. Parents whose children will be genetically modified are less likely to say a word after the fact.

In the final analysis, the "New Human Project" is an adventure in which human beings are not satisfied with the comprehensive data of the current life of the race, and expect that the genes of the race will also take off with the development of science and technology, and fundamentally change the original information of multiple races.

The pursuit of faster and stronger is like an addiction written in biological instinct, but it is a pity that this adventure did not start well.

The leader of the "New Humanity Project" chose the wrong partner. Their project barely passed the water testing stage, and the partner was detained for investigation. All the projects signed by the other party were terminated urgently, and the corresponding documents and data were also sealed. .

As the only result of the plan, Wei Pingrong's data when he was young was reviewed by the investigators of the palace, because he did not show any abnormalities at that time, just like an ordinary human cub, so the investigators judged from this , he may be a child bred through the normal process. After all, Harris, as the director of the dignified fourth laboratory, his illegal cultivation was only carried out in private. While creating those strange creatures, he also did several pretense-like business.

The young Wei Pingrong was included in the "pretend-like business" in this way. Years passed in a blink of an eye, and his double test body background was revealed, only to find that the "pretense-like" prefix had to be removed.

He is the creation of Harris when he was doing "business" back then, but for some reason, the value was not up to the standard, and there was no energy amplitude that satisfied Harris, but now he has the ability to easily disrupt the surrounding equipment.

According to the preliminary results of the data analysis contained in the chip, this increase in energy may be related to Wei Pingrong’s aging, and the energy implanted in his body by Harris may have some kind of growth activity, but this is only an inference. Need to continue to support the data argument.

The elders, whose average age was older than Gu Jiangchu and Wei Pingrong combined, were very careful. They guessed that the two juniors probably needed some alone time after reading the materials, so no one disturbed them.

When Gu Jiangchu and Wei Pingrong left the small lounge, the outer technical department was empty, with only the slight sound of electric currents of various equipment running steadily. On the way back from the technical department to the cabin where they lived, there was usually a bustling host. No one was seen in the aisle, and they returned to the room without encountering any of them.

Once the magnetically controlled door is closed, there is another quiet space where only two people are alone. It seems that even Ian and Keto, who are leaning side by side in the corner, can feel that the owners are not in the right mood. The two smart assistants maintain the appearance of the box, One is black and the other is white, sticking to the base of the wall, Keto is still reticent, and Ian, who usually talks a lot, is also abnormally silent.

The only movement made by the intelligent assistants was to turn on the lighting when Gu Jiangchu and Wei Pingrong entered the door, and at the same time command the beverage machine to run remotely. Two small mechanical claws took out two cups of hot drinks from the beverage machine, and silently put them on the table. The bar counter also opened two high chairs beside the bar counter for the hosts.

"...Thank you." Wei Pingrong spoke in a slightly hoarse voice, and the tiredness seemed to be condensed in his tone.

Gu Jiangchu's heart was already blocked all the way, and he was almost knocked down by his thank you.

Since reading all the information stored in the chip, including this time, Wei Pingrong only spoke three times, and the total number of words in the three times did not exceed ten words.

The first time he spoke, he realized that he was about to pinch Gu Jiangchu's phalanx, and after struggling to loosen it, he whispered sorry.

The second time he spoke, he staggered when he left the waiting room. Gu Jiangchu almost thought he had passed out for a moment, and rushed to help him regardless of the fact that his hand was still numb after being caught for several hours. That day Wei Pingrong saw how he felt when he fell down.

After being supported, Wei Pingrong's eyes were blank for a while, as if he had been swimming in a dream for two or three seconds, and then slowly thanked Gu Jiangchu.

The third time he spoke was at this moment, because of the two cups of hot drinks on the bar, Wei Pingrong hoarsely thanked the intelligent assistant who thoughtfully prepared drinks for him and Gu Jiangchu.

Noticing that his hand reaching for the cup was trembling slightly, Gu Jiangchu was terrified. He held his cup with the hand a little farther away from Wei Pingrong, while the hand closer to the other side was full of readiness. Stance, to stop at Wei Pingrong's hand, whether to help or not, so as to deal with a cup-turning accident at any time.

Anyway, Wei Pingrong's hands haven't shaken enough to hold the cup steadily, but half of his five senses seem to be out of order. He can't even feel that the cup in front of him is steaming hot, and he doesn't know what "high temperature" is. What is "hot".

Gu Jiangchu said "be careful" and only said "little". Wei Pingrong had already poured the scalding hot drink into his mouth, his body was immediately aroused by the scalding of the entrance, his mouth hurt, and he instinctively resisted and continued to drink. Before he could swallow and push out the hot drink, it flowed down his jaw all the way into his collar, and a wet spot quickly appeared on the front.

He hurriedly took the cup from Wei Pingrong's hand, and put it down together with his own cup. Gu Jiangchu was just about to turn around to look for something to wipe Wei Pingrong, when he saw Ian and Keto who were leaning against the corner had parted ways Going into action—Ian delivered a stack of low temperature wipes and clean soft wipes, and Keto reached out from both ends of the box, flipped an emergency kit out, and held it open above his head.

"I'm sorry." Except for the conditioned reflex of the body caused by the scalding, Wei Pingrong himself seemed to be still in the condition. He apologized vaguely with his tongue that was scalded, and raised his hand to stop him from holding a wet towel. Gu Jiangchu, who came to wipe his face, caught a glimpse of the sticky drink on his hands from the corner of the eye, and stopped his movements, saying, "I will do it myself."

"I don't dare to let you do it yourself." Gu Jiangchu ignored Wei Pingrong's proposal of "talking but not using hands". He carefully wiped the drink residue from the chin to the line of neck for Wei Pingrong. When he lowered his head, he saw the back of the man's hand It was burned red, frowned, and took a new low-temperature wet towel to put on it, and then continued to unbutton the other party, changing Wei Pingrong's meticulously dressed shirt into an "open-chested outfit" , along the red mark extending from the neck to check if there is any other burns.

Because Wei Pingrong was still in some condition, he held down the wet wipe that Gu Jiangchu had applied on him, and was speechless for a while, Gu Jiangchu didn't realize that something was wrong, and just concentrated on cooling him down along the burnt mark.

After a while, the two somehow reacted at the same time.

Gu Jiangchu glanced at his hand that was being pressed into Wei Pingrong's shirt, and met his eyes who seemed a little stunned.

Gu Jiangchu: "..."

The author has something to say: Those who often appear in the comment area are basically old faces, so I can't help but chatter.

If you are a cutie who has been chasing all the way from the insect series, you will probably know that I have always been a professional idiot in the past. How can a person who only writes about daily trivialities do it?A Natural Couple can probably be regarded as an article where I forced myself to try new things. Although the current effect is still not ideal, and the control of the plot rhythm is still very bad, but it is the beginning of me asking myself not to be limited to the past.

This book is expected to be finished at the end of this month or the beginning of next month, and after this one is finished, according to the previous plan, it was supposed to be followed by "Hello, Office in the Underworld", but now I am not sure.

It may be that people's taste preferences will really change over time. I recently found that I really want to try writing from the perspective of audiences, and I am also very interested in romance. The main attack makes me feel a little tired.

Whether the next book will be based on the original plan to write about the underworld, or quietly add romance or subject matter to the column, is still unknown until I make a decision.
