There was a crisp knocking sound, and a pair of soldiers holding weapons, wearing one-piece soft armor, and with golden stars on both sides of their shoulders appeared at the end of the metal corridor. Among them was a white-haired old man who looked quite old.
He is very old, and the skin on his cheeks seems to be about to collapse. The old man is wearing some instruments on his hands and feet, and behind the old man is a blond beauty with a high nose, small lips, and exquisite facial features.
Passing by the small window at the railing, it was dark outside. Here was the endless darkness like a curtain in the universe. Occasionally, I could see bright star points not far away, flickering slightly. The woman was wearing a gorgeous off-shoulder purple tulle dress.
With beautiful and neat lace edges, it looks sexy and charming, and there is a touch of sadness in the smart pair.
"Anfiya!"
After the old man uttered three words, the woman squatted beside the old man. At this time, the old man took off a dark green gem ring like a bright star from his hand and handed it to the woman.
"grandfather!"
The soldiers around him immediately shouted with respect.
"Her Majesty the Queen of Asgard, Anfiya!"
There was a trace of sadness in the woman's eyes. She closed her eyes and looked at her grandfather, who had leaned back and his eyes gradually dimmed. She felt a little painful. This space country had just experienced a coup to seize power, and her parents had already passed away.
He died in the middle of this coup, and his two uncles, three cousins, two cousins, and four cousins ​​were all arrested.
Anfiya watched her grandfather slowly close his eyes. This is the only way to the National Parliament Hall, and it is also the only entrance and exit to the Sky Palace where the founders live.
"Send Mr. Igor Asgard to the freezer!"
As Anfiya said, the soldiers behind her started to move. Then, accompanied by two soldiers, Anfiya put the ring named Tianji Jade Blue on the middle finger of her right hand, accompanied by a slight smile.
Under the bright light, red circuit lines appeared on the surface of the ring.
crunch
The mechanical door in front of him slowly rose from bottom to top. As soon as Anfiya walked in, hundreds of men and women wearing white gold-rimmed uniforms stood up in the round hall in front of them.
Come on, put your right hand on your chest, bow slightly, and shouted in unison.
"Her Majesty the Queen of Asgard, Anfiya!"
In front of her was a round table with a throne inlaid with various gems. Anfiya walked over slowly, sat on the throne, and then raised her hands and said.
"My grandfather fell into a coma just now, and he can no longer come here."
Soon the people standing closed their eyes and began to observe silence. On the stage to the left of Anfiya, there were a lot of people in black uniforms. On each of their chests, there was a symbol of chemistry and physics representing science.
A circular badge composed of the logos of the three sciences of biology. They are scientists from the Skyland Space Country. They were also scientists who were at the top of the scientific community in human society. Many scientists look very old, and few are young.
Among them, a scientist in the front row had only the letter X on his work badge on the left side of his chest.
"Gentlemen! The past of mankind has become history! And everything now is the best revelation for us mankind! My grandparents, parents, uncles and uncles established this sky space country decades ago.
Thanks to your decades of hard work, our Skyland Space Nation has now become the last remnant of mankind!"
A large number of numerical values ​​appeared on a large screen next to Anfiya, and a nuclear physicist immediately explained it.
"Currently, the earth has been obscured by unexplained matter. Based on our research on the wrapped matter, we can determine that the planet will not be able to contact the sun in the next few centuries. The light is being absorbed by this layer of matter, and this
The layer of wrapped matter seems to rely on light to provide energy! According to the amount of nuclear bombs launched a few months ago, according to the speculation of our research team, in the next three years, nine-tenths of the population on that planet will be directly extinct.
The small number of survivors will be reduced to 3 million in the next ten years, and in the next twenty years, the planet will become a Death Star!"
Everyone at the scene had uncomfortable expressions. Anfiya raised her hand to signal those standing to sit down, and then continued.
"Gentlemen! I'm here today, firstly for the meeting, and secondly to announce that the Super Hadron Collider experiment has been successful. In the future, we will be able to obtain constant and long-lasting energy, and the sun will also provide our 35
This space station provides an endless supply of energy, so you don’t need to worry about energy issues! As for food..."
A biologist immediately stood up and bowed slightly. Immediately, the picture on the screen changed. Many people looked at what they saw in amazement. On the surface of the moon, in the transparent covers, under the light
Already mature crops.
"We have successfully developed and established a lunar surface production base, but it is still in the experimental stage. In the past, our country's food was purchased directly from the earth and shipped up. In the past, our country only had 50,000 people, but now there are
150,000, the population base will continue to increase, but please rest assured that the food problem has been solved, and there is a large amount of floating solid water in space. We only need to undergo degradation reactions to get the water our bodies need.
The solid water reserves on the moon are enough for 1 million people to use for 500 years, so you don't need to worry about it for the time being. The only thing we need to worry about now is the labor force."
Many people started talking in a low voice, because Tianji Space Country adopts the ultimate scientific elite education system. Every citizen born will start scientific studies at the appropriate age, and all learning is for the existence of the space station.
Service, even stupid people can become technical maintenance personnel, responsible for the maintenance of space station facilities.
"Just a few days ago, the dignitaries at the European launch station have reached an agreement with our country. Most of the scientists on the list we gave have been found, including 237 scientists, 1,038 dignitaries, and 39,048
Ordinary soldiers, they will become members of our country, the rocket will take off today, and we will have a welcome dinner today!"
At this time, many people at the scene became anxious, because the increase in population means the intense consumption of water and food, and there are currently 35 space stations, of which only 15 are inhabited, and the other 20 space stations are scientific research teams
The place where you are stationed.
"Gentlemen, please don't worry about the shortage of supplies caused by overpopulation. Just last month, Dr. X came up with a very interesting idea!"
At this time,
"Now we have become the last remaining fire of mankind, and if the earth continues to deteriorate and eventually dies, we ourselves will also be affected, so we must never stop scientific research, in order to one day be able to
Interstellar travel, however, if science and technology wants to progress, it must be accompanied by rebirth and destruction, layer upon layer of generations of people! In this vast universe, there are a lot of floating materials, and these metals can help us achieve many things.
, however, we don’t have enough manpower to obtain these materials, and we don’t even have the people to cultivate the planting land we already own. Now we lack nothing, the only thing we lack is labor, an endless supply of labor.”
Following X's words, the values ​​​​of some places where Tianji Space Country's personnel are missing appeared. Many people know that Tianji Space Country currently lacks a large number of manual workers. This is the most troublesome, although it can be left to the soldiers.
However, many soldiers are also responsible for the work of space station maintenance personnel, and the work of driving escort small ships to patrol, in order to prevent space floating objects from suddenly hitting the space station, causing huge crises and losses.
"So Dr. X!"
Anfiya looked at X not far away with a smile, and X bowed again.
"So I came up with an idea and a plan, and human cloning can do the job!"
There was an uproar in the hall for a while. Regarding human cloning, it has been banned by the international community as a scientific research project decades ago. Although there are still some people who try to solve the mystery of human lifespan through cloning, most of them fail.
But now the method proposed by Dr. X, one of the survivors who previously landed on the asteroid, is unconvincing.
The reason why X was promoted and did not continue to be a prisoner was that he helped Queen Anfiya and successfully eliminated the three forces that wanted to plot to seize the rights of the Sky Space Kingdom.
All this is because among Igor's many children and grandchildren, only Anfiya is outstanding, both in terms of ability and personality. She is a top physicist in her own right. When Igor felt that he was about to
Before his death, he announced that Anfiya would succeed him and become the new king of Tianjin Space Kingdom.
However, it was this decision that made Anfiya's other uncles dissatisfied. They planned and launched a coup, but the coup ultimately failed.
Among them,
Rather than hand over power to founders who have no talent and can only live leisurely because of their family's influence, it is better to choose Anfiya.
The founders have caused trouble in this country not once or twice, but now that Anfiya has officially come to power and gathered power, this is a good thing for most people.
"Gentlemen, as I just said, everything about mankind has become history! From now on, we will need a lot of labor force to maintain the basic operation of Tianji Space Country!"
The matter has been settled, no one refutes, no one even dares to speak out, because everyone knows that Anfiya did not eliminate some of the people who supported Anfiya's relatives in the past, which is already a great mercy.
And now no one wants to run into the muzzle of the newly succeeded queen.
"Dr. X, please explain in detail!"
X bowed, walked out of his seat, came to the big screen on Anfiya's right, took out a controller, and directly retrieved some research information.
"The growth cycle of a cloned human is very fast, usually from birth to adulthood to old age and death. According to our past research, the lifespan is only 3 to 10 years. And this is when the cell half-life is stable. If it is unstable, it will be very difficult.
He may die in one or two years, but according to our existing technology, we can ensure that the cloned human is intact and will not suffer from congenital physical defects. In the future, I hope that you can cooperate with the human cloning research of our Science Department.
Engineering, I believe that in the next ten years, we can produce clones in batches!"
X continued to explain a lot of things as he spoke, and finally he spoke.
"Please rest assured, as for the thinking and memory of cloned people, we have found a way to implant memories, but it is only limited to the memory implantation of cloned people, and normal people will not be affected. Soon we will be in Tianji
Space Nation will usher in a new era, and I hope you will not have any sympathy or pity for clones. They are only produced as tools for us humans, and are not real humans!"
Anfiya closed her eyes, and then the people from the Ministry of Science began to speak one after another about the current situation of the international space country and the current level of science and technology. Many of the 50,000 people who came up from the earth have been designated as
The labor force used for lunar reclamation is used.
The meeting finally ended. At 11 o'clock, with everyone bowing and watching, Anfiya turned around and entered the corridor behind her under the escort of the guards. She looked tired and held on to the cold and hard wall, revealing her
A tragic and sad smile.
