Escape from the Madhouse [Unlimited]

Behind Zhou Qian was a pitch-black cave, and in front of him was a pure white base in the shape of a hemisphere.

This base is not complete, only half of it remains.

It's like a huge egg shell fell to the ground in a natural disaster and turned into two halves. One half was washed away without a trace in the flood, and the other half fell into the ground and embedded in a certain mountain by chance. By chance, it survived and was seen by Zhou Qian.

The overall design of the base is white and streamlined, and there is no trace of cutting and welding on the metal panel, as if it grew like this naturally.

It can be seen that the scientific and technological level of the base is quite high, and its shell should have the function of releasing water and setting fire or even explosion-proof, and its materials may also be used in aerospace.

But even so, half of it was destroyed in the natural disaster, and the horror of that natural disaster can be seen.

This place is extremely far away from the Promised Land, probably left behind by other humans.

Most of the human race lost their civilization.Fortunately, this base has left some relics, which may allow people to get a glimpse of the truth of the year.

There are no buttons in the base that seem to be controllable. It is estimated that it will be turned on by some kind of sensor function, such as voice control or infrared temperature sensor control.

Holding Xiaolong in his arms, Zhou Qian walked towards the center of the base step by step.

Sure enough, the white walls around him lit up.

It seems that this half of the base is still intact, and the core devices such as power storage devices are not damaged.

The first thing that appears on the screen is a line of text——

"Database No. 3201".

Immediately afterwards, a piece of video material appeared. A scientist in a white research uniform was holding a baby whose blood was not wiped clean, and was smiling very gratifyingly at the camera.

"Successful! The first baby was born successfully! All indicators are normal, he is a very healthy baby! He will live with the best genes of our human beings!"

A female colleague next to him spoke and added to the camera: "We will promote it immediately and strive to produce 1000 embryos as soon as possible!"

The male scientist who appeared first asked again: "By the way, what happened to the archives and data department?"

The female scientist replied: "It's almost finished, and all the data can be stored in the ark as scheduled. At that time...the human beings we created will quickly complete learning based on these data."

While the two were talking, there was a line of text at the bottom of the screen: [October 2, 32X10]

This footage is short.

After the conversation between the two, the repeat playback started.

If the information recorded in this base is only this paragraph, it is obviously too endless.

Zhou Qian looked again carefully, only to see a relatively obscure white arrow pointing left in the lower left corner, and a right pointing arrow in the lower right corner.

Zhou Qian thought for a while, took a step to the left, and raised his left arm at the same time, and saw that the video data changed, and it became [September 2, 32X9].

In this way, Zhou Qian learned that the video data he was going to see next happened before the data just now.It's like he's watching a flashback movie.

The background of this information is still the laboratory.

It was a few scientists who seemed to be editing genes, and a 3D image of the double helix structure of DNA appeared in front of them. At the moment, they were making related adjustments with the tablets and pens in their hands.

"Are you sure you want to edit like this?" one person asked.

Another person said: "Professor, this was decided by the leaders, and sociologists have also done a lot of simulations. Only in this way can they ensure that they defeat other civilizations and survive in the cruel struggle!"

The person called "Professor" sighed: "I see. It's just... During the war, when life and death exist, for the continuation of human civilization, I agree to do this. I agree to let them become murderous and cruel , mercilessly... agreed to teach them cunning, disguise and lying.

"But this is only a temporary measure after all. There will be more and more of them, and everyone will maintain such a personality... There is no guarantee that there will be no internal troubles."

The man next to him said: "So there is still a little bit in their character, absolute obedience to their superiors, government, and gods. There will be stories of gods in their memories. They will absolutely obey the leader and have awe of gods Heart. Subconsciously they think that if there is civil unrest, they will die. So they won't do it."

"They don't have civil unrest. But what about the others?"

The professor asked again, "We are indeed willing to stay here and wait to die, but this is a voluntary sacrifice we made for human civilization, which does not mean that we want to court death! If we survive, and they return to Earth with such a character, will How to deal with us?"

After a long silence, the person next to him said again: "Professor, we just need to carry out the order. Those things are not what we should think about. In this regard, sociologists are much more professional than you. Since they have done deduction, then No problem.

"Besides, there is no time for us to think too much now. The genes have been edited for them, how to make them return to docile and kindness in the peace period? We can't achieve this technology, and we don't have time to do related experiments!

"Time is tight, tasks are heavy, everyone is just working hard to preserve the fire of humanity, each performs his duties, and just do his job well.

"You are the greatest expert, please complete the last step of the experiment as soon as possible, and personally supervise the birth of the first experimental product."

Finally, he persuaded again: "I know, maybe you have worries and regrets. But the end is coming... Look at it, how can one thing be done perfectly, without leaving any regrets?"

The professor looked dignified, didn't say anything, just made a movement with the hand holding the pen.

Zhou Qian is good at cheating, with quick hands and quick eyes.

There is no need to slow down, he has already seen what little tricks the professor has made.

——what is he secretly hiding in gene editing?

After the video was played, Zhou Qian took another step to the left and waved his left arm.

The third piece of video data appeared.

The background of this piece of information is in a high-level conference room, and the time is pushed back one month.

A group of people with different skins and different hairs are meeting and discussing.

Everyone's expressions were solemn and serious, and even their eyes showed a little sadness.

An old man went to the host platform and spoke first: "Everyone...have you thought clearly? Do you agree that a newer human being will continue human civilization?"

Next, everyone at the meeting spoke one after another——

"It's only one year away from that disaster. But the only place suitable for our survival is tens of billions of light-years away. S211 fuel is very scarce, and the total reserves of the whole earth can only meet one voyage. Noah's Ark, we can only build one in such a short period of time. The number of people it can carry... a thousand is the most. What can we do?"

"It is impossible for us to decide who is eligible to board Noah's Ark through civil war within this year! Otherwise, the disaster will not come, and all of us will die in the world war first!"

"We Yu people are smart, but good at literature and art; Feng people are too talented in mathematics; Huai people are born with strong bodies and can adapt to various dangerous environments...

"Indeed, we don't have any clan that can dare to say that it can represent all mankind and pass on the civilization and hope of mankind to the next generation...

"For the continuation of human beings, we need a new human being. They will integrate all our advantages. They are smart, beautiful, and strong...they are the combination of all human high-quality genes."

"With only one year left, experts in physics and aerospace have tried their best. They can't go against the sky. Fortunately... fortunately, our gene editing technology and rapid embryo cultivation method are very mature. At least we can pass This way leaves a kindling for human civilization!

"This is already the only way!"

The atmosphere of the meeting was very solemn.

The voice of the leader who spoke next was a little trembling, but his tone was exceptionally firm.

"My Huai clan has signed the agreement! I agree... I agree to let our clan sacrifice. We are willing to stay and face the disaster. But our genes will be passed on to the new human body! No matter whether they can successfully reach... …In the end, it left behind the kindling of human continuation.”

"We, the Wind Clan, are also willing to sacrifice. This is the time of human survival... Before this kind of catastrophe, we have no right to be selfish. I signed this agreement!"

……

The person on the host stage said again: "Then let's choose a name for the new human race, or a brand new human race."

Someone replied: "How about... just call it the 'Jin Clan'. I really hope they can live a prosperous life. They will be the continuation of all our races. I also hope...one day they can return to Earth , Look at the place where they were born, this is called 'Homecoming'.

"Maybe, we won't all die, and some of us will survive. At that time, the Jin people will be able to return all the civilization they inherited from us to us!

"At that time, the earth and the people on it will still be as good as they are now... No, the Jin people are smarter, and they will make the earth better than it is now!"

At the end of the meeting, everyone stood up and made a common oath——

"We voluntarily stay on this land and wait for the disaster to come. We are not afraid of sacrifice! The Jin Clan will become the hope for the continuation of mankind! In the next year, we will all work hard for the birth of the Jin Clan and the preservation of the human fire." And struggle!"

After watching the third long video, Zhou Qian completely understood what happened.

A terrible natural disaster is about to befall the earth.

When this natural disaster that would lead to the end was predicted, it was only one year.

That's just enough time for them to build a Noah's Ark.

This is not the most important thing. There should be a lot of manned spaceflight equipment reserved by various races.

But the most important thing is that there is not enough fuel.The fuel needed to fly that far and go that fast is too scarce, enough for just 1000 people on an ark.

With so many people in the world, how do you choose a thousand suitable people?

After discussion, everyone agreed that no one was completely suitable.

At this juncture of life and death, highly civilized human beings have no internal fighting, no killing, and no unnecessary internal friction.They held a meeting efficiently, and quickly assembled various experts with their own specialties, and jointly completed a feat——

They gathered the best genes of all human beings and shaped the Jin people who are truly qualified to inherit human civilization.

They let the Jin people board the ark and sail into space, hoping that they can find a new home smoothly and continue the fire of human civilization in the vast universe.

At the same time, they also copied all human writing, books, technology and other materials onto the ark.In this way, the Jin people will complete their studies during the long interstellar voyage, perfectly inherit all human civilizations, and continue to pass on.

Of course, considering that during the interstellar voyage, the Jin people may encounter attacks from unknown civilizations, considering that those civilizations are likely to be higher than the earth civilization.They need to be cunning and fierce to survive the fight.

Therefore, the people of the Jin clan were shaped to be naturally cruel and decisive.

The birth and survival of the Jin people is the result of the willing sacrifice of the billions of people left on the earth.

Human beings who have entered a high level of civilization have shown the greatest humanity when facing the end of the world and when facing life and death.

But at the same time, they created the most cunning, most vicious and cruel Jin people.

It is not known what the Jin people experienced in space.

They did indeed "return to their hometowns", but they regarded the human offspring who created them and sacrificed for them as inferior people.

Human beings have made such glorious choices.

They are willing to die together just for the civilization to be passed on, not to disappear into the vast universe directly.

The current Jin people only know how to kill and domesticate inferior people for pleasure. They are more beautiful, smarter, physically fit, and adaptable in all aspects, but they may not be worthy of being human beings, but they are not worthy of inheriting human civilization. them.

Seeing this, Zhou Qian suddenly discovered that maybe the real hidden customs clearance conditions are not as simple as just defeating the Jin clan.
