The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

The security firewall of the Imperial Gene Bank has set an extremely complicated password. It took a lot of time for Tang Ci to invade the gene bank, and there is a risk of being discovered and tracked at any time.After getting the genetic data copied by Xiao Lou, Tang Ci quickly searched and compared it in the gene bank.

The first to confirm their identities were Major General Lin Zecheng and his biological daughter Lin Yan.

Xiao Lou looked at the results of the comparison and said, "The gene sequences of Lin Zecheng and Lin Yan are as high as 100% similar to the data in the Imperial Gene Bank. There is no difference. These two must be the same person."

Tang Ci went on to say: "Ye Bowen's genes are not abnormal either."

Xiao Loudao: "Look for Ye Qi's information from the gene pool to see if he is Xiao Ye's biological father."

Tang Ci nodded, quickly typed the keys, and found out Ye Qi's information: "Here."

Sitting next to him, Xiao Lou compared them carefully, and said with certainty, "It's true that they are the biological father and son. Ye Qi grew up in an orphanage since he was a child. Could it be that his mother sent him to the orphanage?"

Yu Hanjiang folded his arms and analyzed: "Ye Bowen died 20 years ago, but Ye Qi is only 19 years old now, which means that Ye Qi was not born when Ye Bowen died. At that time, Mrs. Ye was pregnant. For Ye Qi's safety, they simply sent him to the orphanage secretly... What about Madam Ye's whereabouts?"

Xiao Lou was thoughtful: "Maybe she was killed and silenced, or ran away incognito?"

Yu Hanjiang nodded: "Well, we'll check later, if she's still alive, she's another important witness."

Tang Ci continued to retrieve the information of the remaining 7 people.As his slender fingers quickly tapped the buttons, gradually, a series of genetic data comparison results were listed on the LCD screen in front of everyone.

Yu Hanjiang glanced at the listed names, and said in a low voice: "Qin Rong, Zhu Xingchen, and Palmer were all around 40 years old when they died, and all three of them had signed the Noah's Ark plan. Genetics experts, and the information we found before showed that they died of various accidents, namely car accidents, laboratory infections and falling from buildings."

Tang Ci said: "The so-called accident is just a rhetoric to deceive people, right?"

Yu Hanjiang agrees: "In the past 20 years, we have not been able to find the bodies of those people who were judged to be "accidental deaths". Ye Qi's parents said that they died on the front line, but in fact his father died at the bottom of the sea and his mother's whereabouts are unknown. Explain that the official cause of death of the fleeing people in the plan is all false."

Xiao Lou went on to say: "Zhou Yusheng, the oldest among the ten dead, was 56 years old. He used to be a starship pilot of the Imperial Army and disappeared after retirement. An old comrade in arms of the ship."

Tang Ci said: "The rest of Kennedy and Kenneth are a pair of twin brothers. They served on the Egret starship and were soldiers of the Vanguard Battalion of the Legion led by General Lin. When studying in the military school, the teacher often mentioned the twin seniors, who had made great contributions to the military department."

Nine people have been identified, and the last adult woman remains on the wreck.

Tang Ci pressed the keyboard and said, "The last one is..."

Everyone looked at the comparison results that appeared on the screen, and their eyes widened in surprise.

Xiao Lou couldn't believe it and said: "Zhang Shaohua?"

Tang Ci explained: "The gene of this 30-year-old adult woman is as high as 99.5% similar to Ms. Zhang Shaohua in the gene bank. There is no gene with such a high similarity to her in the gene bank."

Yu Hanjiang frowned slightly: "The similarity is 99.5%, which means there is 0.5% difference?"

Tang Ci marked the different gene in red, and said: "Although I am not an expert in genetics, the difference in the sequence of this nucleotide is quite obvious. What does Professor Xiao think?"

Xiao Lou said: "This is a genetic fragment that has been artificially modified."

Yu Hanjiang was thoughtful: "It seems that Zhang Shaohua, who escaped with Lin Zecheng, Lin Yan and his daughter, is actually a clone, and the one who stayed in Capital Star is the real person, and she has been pretending to be crazy all these years? "

Tang Ci was puzzled: "The husband and daughter chose to run away, why did she stay by herself?"

Xiao Lou thought for a while, and speculated: "I'm afraid it was her initiative. She quickly catalyzed a replicant of the same age as herself in the laboratory, and asked her husband to take away the replicator and daughter, while she pretended to be a replicant Lie down in the laboratory. She chose to stay in the capital star and pretend to be a replicant, perhaps because she wanted to see what His Majesty is going to do?"

Yu Hanjiang said: "It's possible that she knows too many secrets, and it's the safest to stay as a clone. After all, His Majesty will not guard against a clone whose IQ is a baby."

This Ms. Zhang Shaohua is very courageous. If her husband and daughter escape successfully, she will stay with His Majesty to find out the conspiracy behind the Noah's Ark plan. This will be a win-win situation.

It's a pity that the Egret starship led by her husband to escape was attracted by the singing of the mermaids and crashed into the whirlpool of the sea.

Xiao Lou was puzzled: "Since she is a clone, why did she die on the starship? Aren't the Zerg not afraid of water?"

Yu Hanjiang frowned and said, "It's very likely that Zhang Shaohua made some tricks when making his own replicant, so that this replicant lost the ability of Zerg?"

In the absence of other cloned human genes for comparison, this cannot be concluded for the time being.

But judging from the current clues, Zhang Shaohua's replicants did die in the sea, but the replicants of the three children Xiao Lou, Shao Qingge, and Ye Qi survived despite the deep sea environment. These three people appeared in the mermaid clan The adult replicants of .

The other experts and guards on the starship were annihilated, and the information on the Noah's Ark project was stolen by the mermaids by accident.Fortunately, the identities of the 10 dead on the shipwreck were confirmed, connecting all the events together.

Liu Qiao said with a blank face: "Professor Xiao, I don't understand a lot of what you said. What's going on with this replicant plan?"

Xiao Lou looked at her gently, and said, "The three of you have been staying in the deep sea, and you may not be very clear about the previous situation. Why don't I tell you the whole incident."

Gui Yuanzhang and Lao Mo also nodded and said, "Professor Xiao, tell me."

Xiao Lou cleared his throat and said: "The year I was born, that is, the year 2975 in the star calendar, because His Majesty just lost a prince, he was worried about suffering the pain of bereavement again, and the queen's body was damaged and it would be difficult to give birth again, so , He proposed the 'Noah's Ark Project' and wanted to copy several princes as backups, and the participants in this plan included many experts and professors, military generals, and the boss of Noah Medical Technology Company, Shao Qingge's father."

"In the middle of the plan, Mr. Shao accidentally entered the laboratory and saw hundreds of babies that were exactly like his own son. He was terrified, so he secretly destroyed Shao Qingge's specimens, and later the copied cells became babies. However, due to a problem with the culture medium, none of this batch of babies survived for half a year, and the plan was forced to be terminated. Mr. Shao left a lockbox for Shao Qingge and told the story in Morse code."

"Star calendar 2980, that is, when I was five years old, the star thief wandering in the universe was found selling precious minerals from the Zerg planet and was discovered by the Ministry of Resources of the Empire. The empire sent General Lin Zecheng to lead troops to the Zerg planet, intending to eliminate the Zerg occupation. The resource star, but because the Zerg’s ability to evolve is too powerful, they almost wiped out the entire army. Several surviving generals accidentally captured the leader of the Star Thief who fused the Zerg gene, and discovered the Zerg creep that can accelerate growth.”

"In July 2980, the Noah's Ark project was restarted. Scientists fused Zerg genes into human cells, and at the same time added Zerg creeper extracts to the culture medium, not only successfully turned the replicated cells into babies, but also mastered the catalytic cells. , Superb technology to allow cells to develop into adults in a short period of time. They copied hundreds of Xiaolou, His Majesty held a "natural selection" contest, let all Xiaolou kill each other to select the best heir, and finally survived Xiaolou There are 7 buildings including me."

"General Lin Zecheng sensed His Majesty's madness, and took No. 4 Xiao Lou to escape from the capital star. The starship crashed in the mermaid sea area, and the mermaid tribe got the information of the Noah's Ark project, and transformed these copied children to make A version 2.0 clone with a mermaid tail and the ability to come and go freely in the deep sea. Xiaolou No. 4, which was improved from Xiaolou No. 5, is the mermaid prince you have seen."

"..." Hearing this, Liu Qiao, Gui Yuanzhang, and Mo Xuemin all showed horrified expressions on their faces. They didn't expect that the plot on the side of the empire was so complicated, and Xiao Lou had experienced cruel nature when he was 5 years old. Trials?

"That His Majesty is really crazy to let so many children kill each other." Lao Mo couldn't help complaining.

"Professor Xiao, you said that there were 4 Xiao Lou who survived at that time. Besides you and No. 4 who fled, are there No. 2 and No. 3? Where are they now?" Liu Qiao asked.

"They all stay with His Majesty. Among them, No. 2 is the most like a prince. He has replaced me after I left Capital Star. In addition, he has a marriage contract with the cloned Lin Yan and is cultivating a relationship." Xiao Lou said calmly.

"...So, our task is to get rid of all the replicants?" Liu Qiao asked.

"At present, yes." Xiao Lou said, "The palace will deal with it later, let's solve the problem of the deep-sea mermaids first. The plan remains unchanged. After 24:[-] tonight, you three mermaids will dive into the deep sea first, and determine the clones as soon as possible. The location of the laboratory, when the time comes, use Li Qingzhao's mark teleportation skills to pull us directly there."

"Okay." Liu Qiao nodded seriously.

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other and confirmed each other's eyes. Yu Hanjiang got up and said, "Let's go, meet Mr. Shao and the others. It's getting dark, let's return to the deserted island as soon as possible."
