"You two are very similar in genes, and it has been identified as fraternal twins." Mina was slightly surprised, "Why, isn't it?"

Milan finally revealed the truth: "I can't confirm, I want to test again, but I am more worried about potential risks regarding my bloodline."

"Bloodline? Risk?"

Milan didn't hide it either, and told someone about his parentage.

"It turns out that the one we picked up was His Royal Highness the Little Prince." Mina felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and looked serious, "Milan, I found your location in the small town of Corvado on Earth, which belongs to the solar system. The town was bombed to the ground, and Drucker and I went to scavenge, and still felt the remnants of extremely high-intensity heat radiation."

"Find us on Earth?" Milan was also taken aback, "The solar system is within the territory of the Zhongxing Federation, hundreds of thousands of light-years away from the Ateli Empire, and there are only a dozen transition points."

The expressions of the two became serious for a moment.

——A baby of imperial blood, appearing on a distant earth, this is not normal, very abnormal.

Mina recalled: "...you escaped in the basement. There are many instruments in the basement, which looks like an idle or abandoned laboratory. At that time, Drucker first detected an abnormal reaction. When he went to investigate , I found you and Bamboo in the training cabin, small, hugging each other and sleeping."

"At that time, the nutrient supply in the training cabin was insufficient, if you were left there, you would most likely starve to death.

"Drucker and I have participated in several missions to destroy biological laboratories. There are many human experiments. Some people were tied to the bed for three years, with their abdomens bulging like triplets; With probes inserted, they can’t see or hear, they can’t walk, they just scream non-stop; some people just soak in the pool, they have no legs, only two fluffy tails with scales… The human beings transformed by the biological laboratory can hardly be called human beings. As much as we hate human experiments, we don't want to leave you two in that suspicious place.

"Later, it was discovered that you had no identity information, and Drucker and I decided to adopt, and we had a family of four.

"The reason why we didn't find your information, now I understand, we didn't check the population database of the empire. Speaking of it today, it feels like I have opened Pandora's box." Mina murmured, "I never thought you would Of imperial blood, and of the royal family."

At this time, Milan calmed down: "It doesn't matter if it is opened, we will cover it quietly."

"Yes, I don't know what the other party thinks about your birth. We need to collect the information of the year before making a judgment. If your disappearance is abandoned, we will continue our current life; if not...it would be nice to have more parents, right? What?" Mina was very open-minded.

——Especially when Milan knew that they were not related by blood and insisted on calling him Dad, Mina was full of confidence.

"Besides mine, maybe Bamboo's."

Curiosity killed the cat. Milan's previous goal in life was to find his father and live a happy and peaceful life with his family. The Federation and the Empire had little to do with him.

Well, if you're being bullied, that's another matter.

No matter how neutral Milan is, the adventures of the gray star field and Zhu Baixing in the past few years, and his narrow escape from death several times, how could it have no effect on the shaping of his personality.

Now is the time for him to think about his second life goal.

"Father, I want to compare the genetic relationship with Bamboo." Milan said, he didn't care about his bloodline, and another thing was more important, "There may be errors in the original identification. But I don't want people to find out my bloodline ,what to do?"

The conventional identification of parent-child blood relationship can achieve an accuracy rate of 99.9...9%, twelve nines after the decimal point.However, the identification of kinship between fraternal twins is only 9% accurate, with a 99.99% error.

Dad is one of his closest relatives, and one of the people he values ​​the most. Besides, this is a family matter. Milan only wants to tell his family, but he doesn't want to tell Bamboo for some reason.

——It is also a vaccination for Mina.

Mina smiled: "Just comparing the genes of the two of you, no one will be idle to check the gene bank of the empire. Besides, you also know that the relationship between the two countries is tense now, and browsing the websites of the empire is restricted. This is just an opportunity, isn't it?"

Milan suddenly realized: "Okay, I'll talk to Bamboo. The Medusa should be able to do the test."

Mina nodded and asked, "Bambu knows that we are not related by blood, maybe you are not blood brothers?"

"Well, he knows."

"What's the reaction?"

"There is no reaction." Milan shook his head, "He is much calmer than me." While talking, Milan recalled that time, because he was anxious, he repeatedly emphasized that his brother must be the brother who will not change. Now there is really a kind of going back and fanning himself. impulse.

"I'll contact Bamboo for an appraisal right now. If it proves that we are not related by blood, in case I get involved in anything because of the bloodline issue, I won't implicate him." When the king fights and the civilians suffer, they have to be mentally prepared. clear.

Of course, he also has his own selfish side, but before the result comes out, he doesn't intend to let anyone know.

Mina, who had only met again for a few days, didn't know what the elder son was thinking: "Even if we are not related by blood, we are still a family. The two of you have been stuck together since childhood, unlike other children who occasionally quarrel. I've never had a toy before, and I've never seen two little kids like that."

——The two brothers have always been known as "other people's children".

"We have to be a family, or does it mean that Dad doesn't want us anymore?" With the vision aid, Milan couldn't make Bamboo's teary-eyed and cute expression, and his tone was extremely sad.

Mina looked at the eldest son and encouraged him: "No matter what the outcome is, Dad will always be your dad. Disputes can be avoided if possible, but sometimes things will develop out of control, you understand."

"Well." Milan nodded, "Now that the relationship between the Federation and the Empire is tense, we will do nothing and live a good life."

Bamboo didn't listen to the conversation between Milan and Mina. He spent the past few days looking for something to eat on the Snake and Cat's Nest.Anyway, Will and the little black cat have seen his unusual side, and they will automatically give explanations for his various behaviors.

In the past few years, the snake and cat's grocery store has collected a lot of good things, and the little black cat only brought a small part, enough to be an appetizer.

Bamboo rubbed it secretly, ate it and then copied it, which was a great joy.

He also called Will to test the dream machine directly - as a follower of Bamboo, Will actually had the lowest status and the least autonomy, even though his expression when he put on the helmet was like he was about to go to the execution ground, he still obeyed Banbu According to Bu's instructions, lie down and go to sleep.

Bamboo is not very curious about spying on other people's inner secrets. He uses Will to practice his hands, the purpose is to learn how to control dreams-the most clear main line.

He also asked the little black cat if he would like to try the dream machine, and emphasized that he will dig out the secrets deep in the subconscious, and participation is entirely voluntary.The relationship between Little Black Cat and him is an employment relationship, and he has the right to refuse for matters not included in the employment contract.

The reaction of the little black cat was first surprised, then considered for a minute, and finally nodded.

The advantage of being the second test subject is that Bamboo is once raw and secondly cooked, and his handling is much gentler.

When the little black cat woke up, there was no scene of Will suffering a splitting headache and sweating profusely—as soon as Bamboo came up, he gave Will a dream of being chased and killed by the entire army after becoming a space pirate. The artillery bombarded, the ships ran wildly, and finally the mecha lost control.As for the little black cat, it created a dream of him continuing to be a guide at the Red Poppy Club, meeting a suitable person, getting married, and saving enough money to buy a small farm on a remote planet for retirement.

The time span in the dream is too large. After living for more than a hundred years, only one or two minutes passed in the real world. After the little black cat woke up, it took a long time to recover—Will was a little bit worse than him, He is still lying outside the house now.

"It's too real, too impactful." The little black cat looked at Bamboo adoringly, "Is that what my subconscious mind thinks?" Work, earn money, get married, and retire.

"To be precise, your subconscious mind has this kind of thought, but it is not your strongest and deepest thought." Bamboo replied, "You have this desire, and I have strengthened this desire. This is to control dreams."

"So, can the little black cat know the deepest and strongest thoughts in his heart?" the little black cat asked.

Bamboo was straightforward: "I have a recording, you can watch it yourself."

"Thank you."

The little black cat went to the operating table to watch his dreams, and Bamboo left the room—he followed the principle of confidentiality, put the dream survey machine in a separate room, and strictly followed the rules for operation.

Seeing Bamboo come out alone, Will finally recovered, "Master, where is my subconscious mind?" He sat up from the bed and asked, "I don't want to be hunted down, why is it so..." Miserable?

"It's what you're afraid of. I also recorded it. You can watch it yourself."

The experiment on these two people was a success.

Bamboo began to consider the possibility of using the dream machine for Milan, and what to insert into the dream.

Others couldn't see Milan's behavior these days. He could hear it clearly by comparing the frequency of his breathing and heartbeat—slightly abnormal.

Of course, anyone who has a colorful dream every few days, and the dream is related to relatives, as long as there is a bit of morality, will not take it for granted.

When he was thinking this way, the optical brain reminded Milan that there was a video call.

Milan's expression was solemn, but also cautious: "Banbu, can we do a family test?"

"Okay." Don't say that he has always supported any decision of Milan. He was already prepared for the genetic test.

——As early as more than ten years ago, when Bamboo noticed that Milan had a genetic disease, he voluntarily changed his DNA. Now that he is checking, the two must not have any blood relationship.

Of course, this problem can be pushed to the new genetic testing equipment on the Medusa.

"Do a kinship test? This is very simple." Sesty was curious, "You suspect that they are not brothers?"

"Yes." Milan pulled Bamboo, "We suspect that the identification report at the time of birth was wrong, please help us conduct an identification between the two - of course, no matter what the result is, our genetic relationship remains unchanged. "

Sesti looked at Milan and then at Bamboo. The two brothers stood side by side calmly and calmly. They didn't worry about their identities.

They haven't officially restored their status in the Federation, and Sesdie doesn't know who they are, and it's no good to know more, if you want to do it, you can do it.

A little blood was taken from each of them, and after processing, including mitochondrial, dna methylation, micro-rna, transcription factor regulation, and more than 20 str loci tests, the test report was freshly released.

It's full of calculations, and it hasn't taken half a day.

Sesdie flipped through the report, and the conclusion was too simple and crude.

- The y chromosomes are different and the x chromosomes are different.

This conclusion does not rule out the possibility that the two parties are cousins, but Demreko's special skills in identifying members of the royal family have helped to prove that they do not have that relationship.

Mina was also stunned when he saw the report.

His optical brain stored the earlier genetic reports of the two brothers, and after a comparison, he discovered——

Milan's DNA sequence has not changed.

But Bamboo's is totally different!

How can the difference be so big?

At the same time, Milan looked at Bamboo cautiously and nervously.
