Deep Space Knight

Woolen cloth?You're only 19, and you're talking like you're 90. "Anna touched his forehead lightly with her finger, "You know, some things, the question is not whether you can change, but whether you are willing to change. "

"I hate it." Xue Yuan turned around and muttered, "Why do you speak so like a governor?"

The line of sight was facing the huge glass petri dish, which contained an adult-sized embryo, which could already be vaguely seen to be a male.

Anna said that when "he" was born, he would have the most perfect human form.

"Qi-Lian," Xue Yuan read out the name on the information board, "How old is he now?"

"Are you talking about the age of the embryo?" Anna also walked over, staring at the figure, "It has been cultivated for two years, but if you consider it according to the developmental stage of a natural embryo, it is now in the 'sixth week'."

Xue Yuan calculated in his mind, "No way?! Two years of nurturing is equivalent to 6 weeks. Wouldn't it take more than ten years for him to be born?"

"No, it will be born soon. The process of artificial cultivation is different from natural development. Apart from its lack of sex, its other organs are roughly fully developed."

"No gender?" Xue Yuan took a closer look, and it was true.Although the physique is close to that of an adult man, it has no primary sexual characteristics.Like Bacchus, the god of wine whose gender is deliberately blurred in Leonardo da Vinci's paintings, it has an indescribable mystery.

"The sex of a human embryo usually begins to differentiate at the sixth week. That's why I said that it is now in the 'sixth week'." Anna looked at it with both the prudence of a scientist and the tenderness of a mother. "Calling it a male 'he' now requires quotation marks. But next time you come back, you'll see that he has developed organs and is a real man."

"Hey, it's amazing!" Xue Yuan touched the glass carefully, as if trying to wake up the "fetal person" who was still sleeping.Human beings are always full of infinite curiosity and awe when facing the life in conception.

"Hey, let me give you some science." Anna folded her arms and smiled, "There is something very interesting about the sex of the embryo."

The initial embryo is sexless and has all the basic equipment of both sexes, but they are not fully developed.

From week 6 onwards, if the gene is XX, there is no major change in the developmental pattern of the embryo.

But if the gene is XY, then the embryo will secrete androgen, which stimulates the growth of the testes.

That is to say, the natural template of human beings is biased towards women.

Every man was once an imperfect woman at the beginning of his life.

"Mother and daughter are a natural relationship. Women don't have to learn how to be daughters and mothers. But father and son are a social relationship that needs to be learned." Anna looked into Xue Yuan's eyes, "So, the relationship between you and your father No, it's not anyone's fault, it's just that you're all still learning."

"..." Xue Yuan didn't say a word.After a while, he blew a kiss to the "fetus" in the petri dish: "Baby, come on and grow up, I'll come and see your ○○ next time."

By the time the governor left, dusk had already fallen.

The artificial twilight also has a slightly sentimental atmosphere.

The street lamps shining in from the window were half-bright, and everything in the room seemed to have retreated to the edge of reality, into the elusive light and shadow like a dream.

What was more like a dream than this light and shadow was what the governor had just told him.

Those words sent shivers down his spine—

"I didn't mean to hide it from you. In fact, I just investigated these things."

"When your personal information was activated, someone should have informed you of it immediately. However, Xia Changying had already shut them up forever in advance."

"Fortunately, Qi Han noticed something strange early on and got you into the army for protection. If you stayed outside, you must be the same as those people by now."

More than half a century ago, when the terrible things that drained the family's wealth were deposited in Sheng Rui's name, what kind of mood my father had, has never been known.Perhaps, with the shrewdness of a businessman and the painstaking efforts of a father, he established a guarantee for Sheng Rui's future to the greatest extent.

antimatter.

Holding them is better than holding gold, and even holds the key to the future of mankind.

Sheng Rui became the holder of this key without knowing anything about it.Only through his fingerprints, voiceprints, irises, DNA sequences and even smells can the code lock be unlocked and those precious and terrible things obtained.

Few people know Sheng Rui's real worth.Xia Changying didn't know how to find out, so he adopted a simple and direct method - before Sheng Rui found out what he had, he and all relevant insiders were killed.

There must have been a person with a similar fate to Sheng Rui in "Mianzhu", and now he may have died at the hands of Xia Changying. This is probably how the existing anti-matter weapons of "Mianzhu" came about.

The governor gave him two options: give up the ownership and hand them over to the fleet, so that there will be no more personal danger and no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life; or he can not give up and use this as capital to become a member of the fleet management.

"From tonight onwards, Qi Han will be responsible for protecting your safety. How to choose, please consider for yourself." The governor got up and said goodbye, "But please don't think too long, because..." His eyes became meaningful, "There may not be much time left for each of us."

time is limited……

What does that mean?

Sheng Rui sighed, turned over on the bed, and suddenly remembered that there was a living person beside him.

Qi Han sat on the corner of the bed, like a docile and alert working dog.If you don't speak, he will not speak.

"Oh, I forgot you were still here." Sheng Rui couldn't help chuckling, "You're too quiet."

Qi Han was silent for a while, then said, "I'm sorry. Being with me is boring."

"It's okay." Squinted by the cat eyes above the corner, "You don't like to talk, I'm a chatterbox, that's great. ——Can I tell you about me?"

Qi Han nodded.

"Do you know why I hibernate? One day I quarreled with my father, and he told me to die as far away as possible. Later, I am here."

Qi Han blinked his eyes, wondering if this was another cold joke.

Sheng Rui didn't seem to be joking at all, "It's true. Don't you despise me?"

"why?"

"Despise me for running away from home for such a stupid reason, and going so far."

Qi Han pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "I don't quite understand your thoughts. But since you did this, there must be your reasons."

"Ah, that's what I like about you." Sheng Rui smiled again, and patted Qi Han's hand on the pillow, "You don't know how many self-righteous guys there are in this world."

There was a coolness in the palm of my hand, like a clear spring in the midsummer.

This is a man like water.

"Hey! Can I come in? I saw them all leaving!" Rhode's loud voice suddenly sounded in the corridor, "Open the door, open the door, I have so much food, I can't hold it anymore, hey!"

Qi Han's hand immediately slipped away from Sheng Rui's hand like a frightened fish.Sheng Rui poked his fingers to catch it, but he didn't catch it.
