Chapter 79: Compatriots

When I stepped into the Spirit Gathering Tower, the city tree immediately started to report: "The statistics were released. There were 21 torpedoes in the lock No. 1 and needed repair. The outer wall was also attacked by 16 torpedoes, which also needed repair. The city was attacked by bombs, and 34 buildings suffered damage to varying degrees, and no houses collapsed. However, a temporary cargo pile point in the port was ignited by the bomb, and some of the wood inside was burned! The personnel did not count for the time being, and the initial estimate was slight. The overall assessment was a minor injury and did not affect the city's operation."

"I understand." I opened a private chat: "Ying, is it online?" After waiting for a long time, I didn't reply, so I had to change my name to Hongyue. "Hongyue, are you here?"

"exist."

"The losses in the city are not very serious. Some places need repairs, so you can deal with them."

"Okay, leave it to me. Ah, by the way, my brother said he had something to ask you for. He didn't contact you some time ago, and he forgot about it!"

"Okay, I get it. I'll go find him if I have time."

Damn Japanese, I'm so busy, they're actually causing me trouble. I'm so tired! The demon pets who just cut off my private chat have all come back. They just went up to deal with Feilong, and now they're over, they must be back. I summoned Fenglong: "Thank you for your hard work, you all go back to rest." They were about to go back to Fenglong's special space, and I shouted: "Ling and Adina stay."

I waited until the other demon pets entered and I was told Adina: "Atlantis may be more chaotic during this period. I think you are responsible for the contact work between the two sides. If you need to contact me directly with your heart."

"Thanks."

"Okay, go quickly."

After Adina left, I said to Ling: "Follow me to the temple."

"Is there something wrong with you?" Ling asked in a low voice.

"There is something, but I will not ask until you arrive."

Ling stopped talking, I started a private chat to contact Ziyue and Lin Yue. "Are you there?"

"In." Both of them answered at the same time.

"Come to the temple right away."

"Ah? I'm still in Gangcheng!" Lin Yue shouted.

"No matter what you are doing, let it go immediately and come over soon."

"All right!"

I arrived at the gate of the temple for a minute and then Zi Yue arrived, but Lin Yue asked me to wait for nearly ten minutes before I arrived. Lin Yue ran up the long stairs and arrived at the gate of the temple, and was still following Sun Yan. I looked at Sun Yan and said, "Sorry, I want to talk about some private matters today. Can you avoid it?"

"Why can't Sun Yan listen?" Lin Yue asked me.

"If you don't want him to treat you like a monster, you'd better not bring him in."

Lin Yue was a little surprised. "Little Linzi, what's wrong with you today? Have you taken the gun? I didn't mess with you again!"

Zi Yue said angrily: "Xiaoyue, stop urging, Zi Ri must have something to do."

I didn't explain anything and turned around and walked into the temple. Lin Yue saw me in, and actually snorted and ran away. Zi Yue wanted to chase Lin Yue, but after chasing for two steps, she stopped and shouted a few words, but Lin Yue didn't listen. She finally turned around and followed me into the temple.

When I saw Ziyue following me, I said, "Has she ran away?"

"Well." Ziyue trotted and caught up with me in a few steps. "What did you do today? It's a little different from usual!"

"I saw something that I shouldn't have seen today. Although I feel regretful when I think about it now, since I have watched it, there is no way."

"What's so scary?"

"It's not terrifying, but it's confusing me. Forget it, I can't explain it clearly now. Let's talk about it when all the parties are here."

We walked through the temple and happened to meet a passing maid. "Where is Vina?"

The maid answered respectfully: "His goddess is in the reading room."

"I've gone in the wrong direction!" Zi Yue turned around and walked back.

I grabbed Ziyue. "Don't go over, let's go to her direction." I turned around and said to the maid, "If you go and notify Vina, just say I'm waiting for her in her room. It's very important to tell her."

The maid bent down and saluted and ran quickly towards the reading room. I pulled Ziyue and went straight to Vina's room. We waited in the room for less than five minutes, and Vina trotted in. "What's so urgent?"

"Some very important things." I threw a picture album in my hand aside. "Lock."

Vina immediately turned around and locked the door lock, then pressed the switch beside the door. A stone slab fell outside the door of the room, and a stone slab fell inside at the same time. All the windows were automatically closed, and several gates closed the windows. No one could hear the sounds here now.

Ziyue and Vina were both confused by me. They didn't understand what I was going to do. Ling was about the same, but she knew I had something to do, but she just didn't know what was going to do. I asked the three of them to sit side by side on the sofa and sat down opposite me. "Now it's time to start. First of all, I want to say that we only know what we want to talk about today, and think nothing happened after going out. Especially you, Ziyue. If Lin Yue asks you, you ask her to ask me, you must never tell her."

Ziyue was surprised: "Didn't you take Xiaoyue to listen with me?"

"It was, but judging from her performance today, I think it's better not to do so. Although she seems to be a little smaller than you, I feel that she is actually not as good as you."

"Okay then!" Zi Yue nodded.

I looked at the three of them and said, "What I want to talk about today is not about this game world, but about another real world."

The three women showed a surprised expression at the same time. Ziyue was just a little strange, and Ling was very surprised. As for Vina, she was completely in deep thought. I waited for a while and asked them to completely digest my words before speaking: "Maybe you will find it strange, and the strange reasons for each of you are different. Ziyue, you must be very strange, are you talking about the real world with two NPCs, right?"

Zi Yue nodded and said, "They can't understand those things, right?"

I shook my head: "Other npcs may not work, but they can. Is it?" The last "yes" asked the two npcs.

Ling and Weina both nodded. Zi Yue looked at them in surprise. "Have your intelligence evolved to this level?"

I said, "It's not about intelligence, but about physical matters. They used to have bodies in reality."

"Are you saying that Long Yuan is creating humans?" Zi Yue's understanding is indeed extraordinary, which strengthened my guess.

I nodded. "Longyuan is indeed studying artificial humans, and I am very honored to tell you that these two people in front of you already have bodies."

Zi Yue covered her mouth in surprise. This news is unacceptable to ordinary people, and Zi Yue's reaction is already very good.

I waited and continued, "Ziyue, you know my identity, it's not surprising that I know these news. In addition, according to my guess, there is a very serious problem that directly affects the two of us. Oh, no, there should be Lin Yue."

"What did you say?"

"How much do you know about biology?" I wanted to see Zi Yue's knowledge before deciding how to explain it to her.

"I know that I have a little deeper knowledge than popular science. There are courses in colleges."

"So you know what's the easiest way to make a living creature?"

"It should be to rewritten the DNA sequence of embryonic cells and then culture them like IVF."

"Then do you know what the highest technical goal is?"

"The teacher once said that it is a biological body that is directly manufactured."

It seems that Zi Yue knows a lot. "You know this and it's easy to do. Rewriting DNA is relatively simple. Just extract the nucleus of a normal embryo and inject new nuclei into the cells. This is how the world's first cloned organism was made. However, when cloning, it is injected into the nucleus of somatic cells of normal organisms, and when making new species, the DNA injected is completely artificially synthesized. As for adult production, it is a more advanced and complex project. So far, few countries can perform adult synthesis."

"Hasn't Longyuan been completed?" Zi Yue pointed at Ling and Weina.

I nodded: "But science and technology are developed step by step. It is impossible to jump and develop, unless other countries provide you with technical support. Longyuan is already a Taishan Beidou in this area. If you want others to support it, no one has that technology, so our technology is explored step by step."

"I understand this."

"But don't you find it strange?"

Zi Yue hadn't reacted yet. "Strange? What's strange?"

"I saw Ling and Vina's bodies today, and they were already adults. The result of my investigation was that they were made in adult form and did not go through the normal embryonic stage. Ling was developed in the Petri dish and formed an adult body, while Vina was directly created within a few months. The kind that made Ling was already an intermediate technology, while Vina was directly produced by advanced technology."

Zi Yue shouted, "Yes! Why is there no primary stage?"

I smiled and nodded and said, "Longyuan cannot jump to the second and third stages before going through the first stage, which means there is still an experimental subject for the first stage."

"But what does this have to do with us?" Ziyue was very surprised. But she saw me smiling and looking at her. After a while, she suddenly exclaimed: "I am the first experimental product?"

"And Lin Yue and me."

"No, it's impossible." Ziyue's spirit was a little close to the verge of collapse. "Xiaoyue and I were born from my mother's pregnancy for ten months, and we are normal people."

"Yes, that's right. You were born from your mother's pregnancy for ten months. This is right. The first phase of the experiment was to only make embryos, and a proxy mother needed to give birth to a child for ten months. As long as the embryo colonization process was not known, no one knew whose child you were. A lot of women abroad have to find a proxy mother to breed artificially induce fertilized eggs for helping to give birth because of heart disease? This is the same, but the artificially synthesized fertilized eggs are fed, and there is no difference in technology. I now doubt whether your parents know about this."

"What do you mean?"

"Using the current technology, the entire colonization process only takes a few minutes. The hospital can operate it without your father knowing it. No one can notice this small move. But I guess your mother should know about it. After all, this is a project that requires certain sacrifices. It is unlikely that our Longyuan will do this experiment without your parents knowing it."

"and you……?"

I smiled bitterly and said, "I may be your brother. I am just a brother and sister born by two different surrogate mothers, but I guess our DNA is similar."

Zi Yue rubbed her forehead in pain and said, "Then tell me why are these?"

"Because I'm not sure, I want to help you."

"I want my help?" Ziyue looked at me. "What do you want me to do?"

"The best way to confirm this guess is DNA test. I am the young leader of Longyuan, and the DNA test equipment is easy to do. But I can't pick our parents' blood, because they will definitely know what I want to do. So you are the only one who picks your parents' blood, Lin Yue and your own. Just analyze everyone's DNA and you will know if my guess is true."

Zi Yue collapsed on the sofa like a ball that had been removed from breath, staring at the roof blankly: "I think you guessed it's almost done!"

"Why do you say that?"

"Because Lin Yue and I are not as long as our parents at all, none of the children in the family look like us. In the past, people often joked that we were adopted, but now it seems that it is true!"

"Then you collect their blood samples as soon as possible, and I'll analyze the DNA. By the way, you can't mix anything else when collecting. There are disposable syringes in the pharmacies outside. You can buy a few, find a chance to get some sleeping pills to fascinate them, and then draw some blood. Just a few milliliters per person, and there should be a scale on the syringe."

"Okay, I will do it as soon as possible. But you have to tell me the result as soon as possible."

"Of course."

After explaining Ziyue, I turned to Ling and Weina and said, "Now you should know the reason why I asked you to come?" Both of them nodded.

Ling suddenly slid down from his seat and knelt on the ground and kowtowed to me: "I'm sorry, my master, I've been cheating on you!"
