【Chapter 421, Mrs. Lin】

Facing the table full of Morse code banknotes, the room fell into silence again.

The clues left by Shao Qingge's father made everyone feel complicated. Unexpectedly, the Noah's Ark project launched 25 years ago caused hundreds of cloned babies to die within half a year, and the project was forced to terminate.

But that being the case, why did the plan restart when Xiao Lou was 5 years old?

Mr. Shao felt uneasy during the first plan, and even secretly destroyed Shao Qingge's specimens. Why did he agree to start the second plan and sign the plan?

Less than two years after the implementation of the plan, except for the only survivor, Professor Zhang Shaohua, all the signers died due to various "accidents". Why did the boss behind it suddenly kill these people to silence them?

These questions are the key to the next investigation.

Xiao Lou sorted out his train of thought carefully, and speculated: "From the clues left by Mr. Shao, it can be guessed that the original intention of the Noah's Ark project was to allow human beings to have a 'backup healer' to deal with all kinds of problems that may appear in the future. Once the main body gets sick, the organs, bone marrow, and blood of the cloned person can be directly used by the main body. They may stay in the petri dish all their lives, without social interaction and self-awareness, just like being kept in a greenhouse with A flower isolated from the outside world."

Tang Ci looked at Xiao Lou and said, "I'm used to backing up computer data with a mobile hard disk to avoid data loss after the computer is poisoned. This kind of duplicating person is also equivalent to the data backup of the human body? If the data of the main body goes wrong, you can use the backup data to fix it, is my understanding correct?"

Xiao Lou nodded: "That's right, the backup replicants don't have self-awareness, they only grow in petri dishes, they can't speak, they can't even understand human language, such replicants can't be called 'humans', they're just a bunch of Experimental data."

Shao Qingge folded his hands on his chest, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "That's why my father agreed to the first plan and wanted to make a data backup for me? But, after discovering that the scientists had copied more than a dozen specimens, he That’s why I feel apprehensive.”

Yu Hanjiang frowned thoughtfully: "The failure of the first experiment should be due to a problem with the petri dish, and none of the bred babies survived. Then, what is the opportunity for the second plan to start? Since you dare to restart , They must have improved this copying technology, at least to ensure the survival of the copy, and it is the same age as the main body?"

Xiao Loudao: "If it's just that the catalytic technology matures, allowing the replica to grow rapidly and be the same age as the main body, this should not be enough for the boss behind the scenes to kill all the participants. There must be other reasons."

Ye Qi boldly guessed: "Could it be that some replicants developed self-awareness and escaped from the laboratory?"

The teammates froze for a moment, then turned to look at Ye Qi.

Xiaoye scratched her hair, and said seriously: "Isn't that how science fiction movies are played? The clone escaped from the laboratory, came back to take revenge, and killed all the scientists who did research like he was a guinea pig."

Shao Qingge lightly smiled and stroked his hair: "You've seen a lot of movies."

Ye Qi was a little embarrassed: "I guessed it casually."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Lou actually approved of Ye Qi's guess, saying: "Xiao Ye's guess is also reasonable. It is not ruled out that the replicator escaped from the laboratory, or took away the confidential documents, resulting in the silence of all insiders."

He paused, and then said: "But I think it is unlikely that the replicants will come back to take revenge and kill all the insiders listed in the plan. The causes of these people's deaths include car accidents, frontline sacrifices, laboratory poisoning, falling from high altitudes, etc. On the surface, they are all reasonable 'accidents', and the murderer must be very powerful to create so many accidents."

Ye Qi nodded in agreement: "Professor Xiao is right. Duplicants don't have such great abilities. Even killing nine people without leaving any loopholes, there must be a big boss behind them."

Yu Hanjiang looked into Xiao Lou's eyes and asked in a low voice, "Do you have any doubts?"

Xiao Lou smiled helplessly: "It's about the same as what you think."

"Your Majesty?" Yu Hanjiang felt that the most suspicious person was His Majesty.

"Yeah." Xiao Lou also thought so, and said softly: "If it was an accident caused by my father, it would definitely be seamless. And there are three clones of the prince in the palace, so he also has the motivation to participate in the accident." All were silenced."

The room was silent for a few seconds.

Shao Qingge leaned lightly on the sofa, and said regretfully: "Unfortunately, only Zhang Shaohua is left in the autograph. We can't ask His Majesty directly."

Lu Jiuchuan suddenly interrupted and asked, "Will there be any progress on Qu Wanyue's side? Isn't she very familiar with Lin Yan, maybe she can get close to Lin Yan and find out something from the survivor, Professor Zhang Shaohua."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shao Qingge's communicator suddenly turned on, and it was the message from Qu Wanyue.

In order to prevent the communication device from being tracked, Xiao Lou, Yu Hanjiang, Lu Jiuchuan, and Tang Ci all left the communication device on Capital Star before teleporting to Taohuayuan. If Qu Wanyue made any progress, she would contact Shao Qingge directly.

A video was sent from the communicator, recorded by Qu Wanyue.

In the picture is the backyard of a large villa. A woman with short hair around her ears is sitting in a wheelchair. Her skin is not too wrinkled and her facial features are exquisite. She is a very temperamental woman, but her eyes are calm Rushui, as if without a soul, his eyes quietly stared at the teacup on the stone table, without any emotion.

Zhang Shaohua, should be in her 50s this year,

Still looks very young.

Lin Yan walked over and squatted beside her, and said softly, "Mom, I took your favorite oranges, how about some?"

The woman turned her head and looked at Lin Yan as if she was looking at a stranger.

Lin Yan smiled and peeled the orange for her, and handed a piece to her mouth: "Mom, try it."

The woman in the wheelchair opened her mouth like a puppet and ate the orange without saying a word.

Lin Yan finished feeding her an orange, and then said: "Dad has been busy recently and hasn't seen you for a long time. Don't blame him, Mom. He still missed you when he left today. Let me spend more time with you..."

She kept talking to herself, but her mother never responded.

Lin Yan's voice choked up, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Seeing her crying, Zhang Shaohua gently reached out to touch her head, and asked softly, "Who are you? Why are you crying?"

A gust of wind blew up in the yard, and the woman's hair was blown away. Lin Yan stood up and quickly wiped away tears, covered her with a blanket, pushed the wheelchair and said, "The wind is blowing, I'll take you back to rest."

The recording ends after the two enter the house.

The six people looked at the video and looked at each other.

Shao Qingge's expression was complicated: "So Zhang Shaohua survived because she lost her memory?"

Immediately afterwards, Qu Wanyue sent another text: "I went to find Lin Yan this afternoon. After the chat, I pretended to go out and sneaked into her house with a chameleon card. Their house has a secret backyard, and the door is locked all the time. Mrs. Lin She was placed under house arrest here. It was rumored that Mrs. Lin was not in good health and had retired early to recuperate at home, but in my opinion, she is not in poor health, but in bad mind."

Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou looked at each other.

Yu Hanjiang guessed before that since the person behind the scenes wanted to kill the insider of the Noah's Ark project, he would not only leave Zhang Shaohua as a hidden danger. So it turned out that the reason why Zhang Shaohua became the only survivor was because she forgot everything, and she didn't even recognize her own daughter.

Yu Hanjiang walked to Shao Qingge's side, took the communicator and quickly typed: "Are you sure she has lost her memory?"

Qu Wanyue said: "Lin Yan spent the whole afternoon with her, and I kept hiding and observing, not like acting. And according to my investigation, this Mrs. Lin hasn't appeared in public for nearly 18 years."

Yu Hanjiang said: "What's the reaction from Your Majesty?"

Qu Wanyue replied: "Long Sen is in the palace, the signal has been blocked and he can't talk to me. But Capital Star is very calm, and the troops stationed here have not made any moves. His Majesty may not have discovered the prince's escape. .”

Yu Hanjiang said: "Continue to pay attention to the movements of Lin Yan's family, you two pay attention to safety."

Qu Wanyue: "Understood, I will report back if there is any progress."

After cutting off the communication, Yu Hanjiang frowned: "It seems that Zhang Shaohua can't find useful clues for the time being. But there is a problem, I always feel that something is wrong."

Xiao Lou had a tacit understanding with him, and quickly guessed: "Lin Yan?"

Yu Hanjiang opened the Morse code clues just translated, pointed to a line in it and said: "The experiment must be kept secret. Human cells are best provided by a few of our insiders...Professor Zhang used the cells of her daughter Lin Yan."

Lin Yan's cells.

She was born in the same year as Xiao Lou, and the first plan, the replicants raised by Lin Yan's cells naturally died. So, did she participate in the second plan?

Thinking of this question, Shao Qingge said: "Zhang Shaohua is a professor of the Academy of Sciences. In the second experiment, she should continue to add her daughter's cells to the experimental group. So theoretically speaking, Lin Yan should also have surviving replicants, right? "

Tang Ci quickly checked the information of the family of Zhang Shaohua, Lin Zecheng, and Lin Yan, and enlarged the virtual LCD screen in front of everyone: "Professor Zhang Shaohua graduated from the Imperial Academy of Life Sciences and has a Ph.D. in genetics. She and Lin Yan General Zecheng got married in 2973 and gave birth to daughter Lin Yan in 2975; in 2981, one year after the Noah's Ark project restarted, she suddenly became seriously ill and could not continue working, and the Imperial Academy of Sciences approved her to go home to recuperate in advance."

Serious illness is definitely not simple. It is called "rest and recuperation", but it is actually house arrest. Her husband, General Lin, is certainly not innocent, and he might be an insider of the genetic project like His Majesty.

Now she doesn't even know her own daughter, so it's not so easy to find clues from her.

Yu Hanjiang frowned and said, "At present, except Mr. Shao, who sensed the danger in advance and left a safe in secret, the other insiders were either killed or lost their memory. It is difficult to find out what happened that year."

In other secret rooms, Yu Hanjiang's identity is mostly the police, who can arrest suspects for interrogation.

But in this secret room, he can't interrogate His Majesty and General Lin, can he? The suspects have special identities and high positions, and they cannot act rashly without sufficient evidence.

Xiao Lou carefully sorted out the current clues in his mind, and said: "Now we only have two breakthroughs, one is Lin Yan's side, if her mother can remember something, that would be great; second, my sister Xiao Rou Maybe know something."

What the princess said to Xiao Lou on the day of her wedding, Xiao Lou always felt that it was not simple.

——Xiaolou, my sister is going to marry far away, you have to take care of yourself, grow up quickly, and come to see me when you have a chance.

On the surface, it looks like something casually said by a relative when parting.

But the question is, why did she say this to Xiao Lou instead of the other two princes in the palace?

The Noah's Ark project had been launched for the second time in the year she got married, and the replicator must have succeeded. Does she know that the prince has replicants? as emperor

Zi's ​​sister, can she tell the replica from the real thing?

Thinking of the memories of when he was five years old, Xiao Lou had a splitting headache.

Seeing his pale face, Yu Hanjiang immediately walked to his side, gently hugged his shoulders, and said softly: "Don't even think about having a headache. When we get to the blue planet, let's find a way to contact your sister and test her out. position."

Xiao Lou gave a soft "hmm" and stopped thinking.

At this moment, a soft female voice suddenly sounded on the radio: "Everyone, our spaceship is about to pass through the β-helix nebula. You can go to the viewing platform on the third floor to enjoy this beautiful and magnificent natural scene of the universe..."

All six were startled.

Ye Qi couldn't help complaining: "The interstellar spaceship also broadcasts attractions?"

When he went to university by train, the announcer would introduce the famous sights of the city every time he arrived in a provincial capital city. Those long memories made Ye Qi nostalgic for a while. He walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked out at the landscape.

I have to say that the luxury suite Mr. Shao booked is really worth the money, the view is unobstructed, and he can clearly see the spiral nebula in the universe-in the distance, layers of nebula are spinning and winding, like forming a huge purple cloud. Compared with the vortex, the human spaceship is extremely small in front of Nebula.

Ye Qi said with emotion: "It's really spectacular! I have only seen this kind of spiral nebula in the photos taken by astronomical telescopes before. I never thought that one day, I will be able to see the cosmic nebula at such a close distance!"

After hearing what he said, the teammates also walked over to look at the spectacular scene outside the window.

Before arriving at the blue planet, we couldn't continue the investigation, so everyone had to take a break from their busy schedule to relax their nerves.

After the spacecraft passed the Helix Nebula, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

Shao Qingge said: "Let's rest first, anyway, everyone on the spaceship can't get out, and we need to recharge our batteries to deal with the next thing. How do you arrange the three bedrooms?"

Ye Qi said positively: "I share a room with Professor Xiao."

This guy is obviously a die-hard fan of Xiao Lou. Of course Yu Hanjiang disagreed, and took Xiao Lou directly to a bedroom, and said lightly, "Go sleep with your father."

Ye Qi: "..."

Lu Jiuchuan ignored Xiaoye, took Tang to the next room, and said "good night" with a smile.

Ye Qi looked at Shao Qingge in confusion.

Shao Qingge walked in front of him with a smile, leaned over, stared into his eyes and asked, "Why, don't you want to sleep with Dad? I remember that when you were young, you liked nestling in Dad's arms very much."

Ye Qi immediately retorted: "Nonsense, why don't I remember!"

Actually he remembered. He was more than five years old when he was adopted. He may have grown up in an orphanage. He had no concept of "home" and no sense of security. After arriving in a new environment, Ye Qi couldn't sleep at all, so Shao Qingge took the initiative to put He carried him to his bedroom and slept with him.

Ye Qi woke up many times in the morning and found that he was nestled in Shao Qingge's arms, using him as a pillow.

The more I think about it, the more embarrassing it becomes. The Gate Keeper definitely has a grudge against him. They set him up as Shao Qingge's adopted son and gave him so many childhood memories...

Seeing that Ye Qi's ears were gradually turning red, Shao Qingge's heart softened, and he reached out and touched his head: "Don't think too much, in this secret room, I am your father, why would you be ashamed to sleep with me when you were a child?" ? Don’t talk about hugging me to sleep, you seem to have wet the bed when you were young.”

Ye Qi blushed: "...Can you stop talking!"

Shao Qingge chuckled softly: "Well, don't say it."

Get it back twice as much later. Of course, when the time comes, Ye Qi will call him another name and nestle in his arms.

*****

【Chapter 422, Thrilling moment】

Tang Ci is not used to sharing a bed with someone, nor is he used to newly grown legs.

He was lying on the bed, very much like a corpse.

Lu Jiuchuan looked at his upright and tense sleeping posture, and couldn't help but tease: "Your sleeping posture really seems to be forced to sleep with a hooligan, and you are worried that you will be molested..." He moved closer to Tang Ci A smile melted into his deep voice, "Xiao Tang, do you have to be so nervous when you sleep with brother?"

Tang Ci's eyelashes trembled slightly, and the roots of his ears were a little red, but his expression was calm: "I'm not nervous, but I'm not used to sleeping alone next to me, this bed is too small."

Lu Jiuchuan lay down next to him, deliberately leaving an arm's length away, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm a gentleman. I just sleep together, and I won't do anything to you."

Tang Ci looked back at him: "A gentleman?"

Lu Jiuchuan's eyes were full of smiles: "Why, don't you think I'm not an upright person?"

Tang Ci: "..."

You are a thick-skinned person.

Tang Ci glanced at him, turned over and ignored him: "Go to sleep."

Lu Jiuchuan smiled slightly: "Good night."

Gradually, Tang Ci's even breathing when he fell asleep sounded in the room, but Lu Jiuchuan couldn't sleep all the time, so he just leaned on his arms and thought about his thoughts.

After an unknown amount of time, suddenly, the spaceship shook violently.

Tang Ci woke up from his sleep, and the whole spaceship was spinning like an earthquake. Due to inertia, he suddenly crashed into Lu Jiuchuan's arms. Lu Jiuchuan stretched out his long arms reflexively, and caught Tang Ci firmly: "What's the situation?"

Tang Ci's nose was almost crooked, and he said in a low voice, "The spaceship is shaking?"

He struggled to get out of Lu Jiuchuan's arms, but the man's arms on his waist tightened slightly, holding him in his arms, and whispered: "Don't move,

Not quite right outside. "

"Did you encounter airflow?" Tang Ci's voice came from his chest, "It's like an airplane bumps when it encounters airflow? There will be such airflow in the universe, right?"

As if to confirm his guess, the spaceship shook violently again.

Lu Jiuchuan was so shaken that he rolled off the bed.

He hugged Tang Ci tightly with his right hand, pushed hard on the ground with his left hand, rolled on the spot, and rolled Tang Ci quickly to the door, wanting to notify his teammates.

At the same time, Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou were also awakened by the violent vibration. Yu Hanjiang put his arms around Xiao Lou's waist and flew out directly with the Qinggong card. He grabbed the pillar in the living room with one hand and shouted: "Everyone, wake up, there are people outside!" Condition!"

Ye Qi also pulled the sleepy Shao Qingge out.

The six of them looked at each other, walked quickly to the floor-to-ceiling windows, and opened the curtains.

It was pitch black outside the porthole, and countless stars decorated the vast cosmic sky.

In this darkness, a huge red monster quietly floated in front of it. The "eyes" of that thing emitted a dazzling red light. destroy everything.

Lu Jiuchuan was startled: "What is that? An alien creature?"

Shao Qingge was still yawning, but now he was fully awake. He squinted at the huge monster not far away, and said: "Such a huge size...we are like food in front of it."

The spaceship was still shaking violently.

Tang Ci took out his optical brain to check the information, but was shaken so that he could not stand still. Lu Jiuchuan immediately supported his waist from behind. Tang Ci called out the LCD screen, typed some information quickly, and then frowned and said, "Navigation Failed, unable to locate our current position. The network connection was interrupted, and the signal of the spacecraft was affected!"

He paused, and then said: "Based on the speed of the spaceship and the route we passed before we went to bed, the place we are arriving at now should be...near the Hydra constellation."

Xiao Lou recalled the interstellar map he had seen at that time, and said: "There is no human inhabitation in the Hydra star field. However, the route of this interstellar spacecraft has been opened for more than ten years, so it is impossible for alien creatures to suddenly appear on the route? "

Yu Hanjiang frowned and looked at the behemoth not far away, and suddenly said: "That is not an alien creature, but a huge starship. Our spaceship network was interrupted, and it should be affected by the interference electromagnetic waves emitted by it."

Ye Qi's eyes widened: "Captain Yu is right, look over there!"

Everyone followed Ye Qi's gaze.

I saw that huge starship, the blade-like flanks suddenly stretched out, clinging to the interstellar spaceship like sharp claws. Due to the attack of the "sharp claws", the spaceship shook wildly again!

The six people almost fell to the ground collectively, and hurriedly grabbed the pillar at hand to stabilize their bodies.

More and more sharp claws protruded from the starship, and the entire interstellar passenger transport spacecraft was controlled by its claws, and the ship shook more and more violently, and the passengers screamed miserablely outside the door: "Ahhh Ah, what the hell is going on!" "The spaceship seems to be attacked?" "My God, what the hell is that?!"

The red light emitted from the eyes of the gigantic monster with teeth and claws just shone on the porthole of the spaceship. When the passengers saw it, their screams became even more ear-piercing!

It is like a huge spider, with eight sharp wings made of special metals, which can turn into "sharp claws" at any time to capture the prey it fancyes.

At this time, the interstellar passenger spacecraft became its prey.

"This is a battleship! We met the star thief's battleship!"

"My God, is it the star thief who killed people like hemp in the legend?"

The screaming outside has become a mess.

At this moment, the videos in all the cabins were forcibly opened, and a woman in a black leather suit, with neat ponytails and a silver mask appeared in the video—clearly, she had already controlled the video broadcasting system of the spacecraft .

The woman's gaze was as sharp as a knife, and her voice was as cold as ice: "Open the hatch of the spaceship and leave all your belongings behind. I can consider letting you survive."

Teammates: "..."

Even though she was wearing a mask, everyone recognized her at a glance.

——Chu Huaying, you are so awesome, you actually became a star thief? !
