star born zero

"With your ears (the Popole star has elf-like pointed ears), do you still want to take to the streets swaggeringly?" Yige asked with a smile.

"..."

Fritty had no words to refute, he had indeed forgotten the difference in appearance.

"Let's go." After confirming that there was no one around, Ige chose the intricate path between the buildings, and Friedi followed closely behind him.He was surprised to find that Yige could choose the direction and route without hesitation at the next few identical intersections, just like a live navigation.

"You know every road?" he asked curiously.

"Don't the soldiers of the empire have a map when they go out?" Yige laughed and said, "The first thing all soldiers do when they come here is to learn to walk around any corner of the city with their eyes blindfolded."

Fritty admired it a little, which invisibly trained their sense of orientation and spatial memory.The strength of the soldiers of the Hayes Empire may have been tempered bit by bit.

The two turned around more than a dozen alleys, and Friedi couldn't judge his position, because the street scene was the same no matter where he went.They eventually stopped in front of a building that was indistinguishable from the others.But after careful observation, Friedi found that there was no other entrance or exit to this building except the main entrance.He immediately realized that this should be a secret agency.

"This is a biochemical research institution under the military department." Yige whispered.

"What are we looking for?" Friedi tried to figure out the situation.

"Find a scientific lunatic." Yige seemed to be smiling.

Fritty looked at the main entrance, "There are no guards at the entrance?"

"The artificial intelligence at the door will automatically scan the person who comes and obtain the individual characteristics of the creature. Through the inter-galaxy database, your information can be retrieved in a few seconds."

Fritti raised her eyebrows, "Will it say hello to me by my name?"

"For those without permission, it will say hello with a laser beam."

Yige waved his hand as he spoke, and the two came to the dark corner next to the main entrance.Yige took out a prepared small bottle, which contained white smoky gas.It was the chemical gas used in anti-star robber smoke-bombs, and Fritty seemed to understand what he was doing.

"The easiest way to deal with a sophisticated machine is to give it errors to confuse it." Iger laughed.

Igg threw the bottle through the door.When the bottle shattered and released white gas, the artificial intelligence immediately detected the foreign substance and began to scan its individual characteristics.However, due to the lack of transparency of the white fog, artificial intelligence cannot judge whether there is a visitor.So it suspended the function according to the program and issued a red error warning.

"Take advantage of it now!"

Igger and Friti quickly pass through the AI ​​gate that is reporting an error.When the guards came out to check, there was only a broken glass bottle left at the door.

The two entered the building, which was a white space, and the air was mixed with the smell of sterilizing substances.They entered the emergency corridor and went upstairs. When they reached the top floor, an early warning message sounded throughout the building.It seems that the guards have identified an intruder from the glass bottle, and the artificial intelligence starts scanning the floors for signs of outsiders.

When the two came to a laboratory, Yige knocked on the door urgently.Friedy noticed that the name of Dr. Donald was written on the door plate outside.

The door opened, and an old man in white with curly gray hair poked his head out, "Who are you looking for?"

Iger didn't have time to talk nonsense, he pushed him away and pulled Friedy into the laboratory, then closed the door.In the laboratory, a dynamic map of human genes is projected on the central holographic screen, and four elderly people are arguing endlessly in front of the screen.Regardless of their figure, appearance and clothing, the four were carved out of the same mold.

"Genes only record the physiological characteristics of the human body, and personality is acquired."

"No, no, personality is related to the way the nerves transmit information, which belongs to the category of genetic memory."

"Wrong! Even the physical characteristics of the human body are not completely determined by genes, let alone personality."

"No! Look at the few of us, the genes are exactly the same but the personalities are fundamentally different, isn't this the best proof?"

"Ridiculous! Whether our personalities are the same has not been scientifically proven..."

Friedi stayed there, "Is this four clones arguing?"

"It's an academic discussion!" The four people turned to him at the same time and said in unison.

"As I said, he is a scientific lunatic." Yige chuckled softly, "He uses his own clone to help him think about problems."

"Science hasn't figured it out yet..." Friedi blinked, "Crazy for sure."

Iggy coughed lightly, "Where's Donald? I have an urgent matter with him."

The four of you look at me, I look at you, and then they all show a wicked smile that you can guess.

"I know none of you are!" Yige crossed his arms in front of his chest, and his tone was very sure, "Get him out!"

The four of them turned into deflated balls at the same time.At this time, the inner side door opened, and a fifth old man who was exactly the same came out, with a mischievous smile on his face no different from the others.

"It's not easy to cheat the top students in the military academy, guys?"

"How do you know we're not the original?" asked a clone.

"I won't tell you." Yige also showed a smirk.

Fritty laughed secretly, but he understood the reason.It is difficult to tell the identity and the copy when facing a clone (such as Lancy's clone Milo), but when facing a group of clones, it is relatively easy to distinguish.Because cloning is the product of duplicating genes, a group of clones will react in the same way in the first place when faced with external emergencies.This is called the mirror reaction of human cloning.

"What do you want from me, Iggy?" Donald let the clone out of the room, and then asked.

"Recently, the military department and the Zerg have traded biological resources. I want to know the details."

"Didn't you go on a mission? The news is quite well-informed." Donald raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, and went to the holographic screen to close the screen. "But this is a plan hosted by His Highness Rhine himself, so I can't say."

He noticed Fritty while talking, "This is your friend? Which planet is he from?" He came to Fritty, looked at his appearance with great interest, and wanted to reach out to touch his pointy ears.But Fritti's cold gaze was obviously very suppressive, and he withdrew his hand knowingly.

"It's important," Iger insisted. "Say what you can, any information."

"There's nothing to say, it's an absolute secret." Donald stared at Fritty's ear, obviously unwilling to give up, "Well, this alien friend, can you let me touch your ear, just touch it. "

"He's an Alpha." There was a hint of warning in Yige's voice.

"He's an Alpha? It's so perfect!" Donald almost drooled when he saw Fritty's appearance, "Can I have some of his genes, even a hair and some leather."

"What does this old pervert want to do?" Friedy looked at Yige helplessly.If Ige hadn't been there, he would have punched the face in front of him.

"I'm afraid I fell in love with your ears and want to copy them." Igger snorted, "He has a project to change his appearance called genetic transfiguration, which collects high-quality genes from different races and recombines them into the most perfect biological signs .This plan is highly anticipated by the fashion industry."

Fritty raised his eyebrows and turned to Donald, "Have you ever heard of a saying that everything in this world is a transaction."

Donald understood what he meant, but hesitated a bit.Fritty shook his pointed ears intentionally or unintentionally, which made Donald's heart itch, and Iger secretly laughed when he saw it.

"Well, Ige is not an outsider, so I can give some information." Donald's attitude showed compromise, "But this is a confidential project of the military department after all, and I will inevitably be convicted if I talk too much."

Iggy nodded to Fritty, and Fritty accepted the condition, "You speak first."

"On the planet Alora 1 in the territory of the Zerg Lomis Kingdom, there is an insect called Alora black-headed bee. The bee venom of this insect is very special. It is in a static state most of the time, but once it is activated, it is fatal. Creatures stung by it may be fine for ten or twenty years, but suddenly die at some point."

Iggy and Friti looked at each other, both of them were hearing about this creature for the first time.It appears that this is the key biological resource.

"Hair." Donald held out his hand.

Friedi took off a few strands of hair as he said, and handed them to his hands.Donald carefully stored the hair in a refrigerated test tube.

"Later, a scientist discovered that the condition for activating bee venom is a very special biological frequency. All life activities of living things, such as heartbeat, pulsation, and blood vessel agitation, will generate biological frequency. Even if only a moment meets the activation condition, bee venom Destroys the immune system in a matter of minutes and kills quickly, with no time to save."

"A certain scientist?" Iggy looked at Donald, "Isn't it you?"

"Leather." Donald didn't answer, and handed Friedi a small spatula.

Friedy rubbed the scraper against his ear a few times, and some of his leather got stuck on the knife.Donald immediately put it away as if he had found a treasure.

"We have mastered the method of artificially activating bee venom." Although Donald's words were brief, they felt chills.

"Blood." He handed Friedi a lancet and a test tube.

Friedi pricked her finger and dropped a few drops of blood into the test tube.When Donald had collected all the biological materials, his gaze returned to Fritty's ear again.

"Can I touch the hand first?" He begged with a smile, "Even if you have a gene that can be copied, you still need to know if it is different from the original."

Fritty sorted out the information he just had.This is a carefully thought out plan, but the most important piece of information is still missing.

"What is the transmission route of bee venom?" Friedi asked directly, "It can't be spread only by being stung?"

Donald looked at those pointed ears that swiveled, which most likely sparked a new fashion trend.He held back for a long time and finally took a deep breath and gave an important message.

"Currently under study, the ultimate goal is to spread invisibly through the air."

The smiles on the faces of Igger and Fritty disappeared at the same time. This is undoubtedly the ultimate biochemical weapon.Just let it out through the air, and the Hayes Empire will no longer have any enemies.Because by that time, destroying the enemy has really become a snap of the fingers.
