Chapter 68: Experimental Product

Chapter 68 Experimental Subjects (Two-in-One)

◎ "It's better not to mess with those two poisonous snakes now."◎

Shao Wen was confused.

"The Domic usually starts eating from the human skull." Mu Chen pointed to the side of his neck, "But because the skull is too hard, Fiaro's human teeth can't pierce the skull, so he chose to attack the neck first."

"His attack method fully reflects the characteristics of the Domic. He has developed an appetite for humans. I hope you don't avoid this, Mr. Director."

Shao Wen: "..."

"If you can't satisfy his appetite, the next time he gets sick, he will only be crazier than this time."

Shao Wen smiled bitterly: "Of course I will pay attention."

Mu Chen thought about it.

"I heard that some studies have suggested that the Dominic tribe's 'appetite' for humans mainly comes from the human spirit. When they attack humans, they give priority to eating the brain, which is also out of the desire to devour human spiritual power." Mu Chen said, "Perhaps the director can try to provide him with spiritual power to see if he will become a little quieter."

There are crystals on the market for storing spiritual power. Although they are generally used as souvenirs by couples and lovers, according to Feiaro's situation, it is better for him to hold the crystal and chew it than to attack people.

"Do the Dominic tribe's appetite for humans comes from spiritual power?" Shao Wen looked skeptical, "I haven't seen such a report published by the Academy of Sciences."

"It was in other scientific journals." Mu Chen said casually, "But I can't remember where I saw it."

In fact, this was a conjecture about the reason why the Dominic tribe attacked humans, which was put forward in the second war in later generations.

Shao Wen shook his head and laughed, "Many studies published in scientific journals do not have sufficient sample research support, especially small workshops that have just started publishing, and they say all kinds of things."

Mu Chen: "The Academy of Sciences reports focus too much on the sufficiency of evidence, which sometimes makes them feel constrained. Many new theories were initially regarded as fantasy and accused of nonsense, but were later proven to be forward-looking and correct."

Shao Wen was speechless, and the room fell silent again.

"You seem to know a lot about the Dominicans." Claude looked at Mu Chen thoughtfully.

"Just because of curiosity, I have read a lot of information." Mu Chen said.

Claude raised his eyebrows, "All your grades in your military school records are F, including the required course "Detailed Explanation of the Dominicans". And the simulated battle course with the Dominicans."

But during the last accident investigation on Elplan Star, Claude found that Mu Chen's understanding of the Dominicans was almost as good as that of the combatants in the military corps. Without sufficient theoretical foundation, he would not be so keenly aware that it was the young Domic king who attacked Elplan Star at that time, and it was even more impossible for him to kill the young within a few minutes.

Moreover, through the subsequent examination of the corpse, Claude found that Mu Chen's attack was extremely deadly and effective... It was just like a warrior who had experienced many battles in a war zone.

But because there was no problem with Mu Chen's identity information, Claude temporarily regarded Mu Chen's reaction at that time as the potential that burst out between life and death. But today, after listening to the director's description of the chaos in the lounge, he found that it was more than that.

There were disharmony in Mu Chen that he could not ignore.

Facing the Domic tribe, he lacked the fear that ordinary people, even many new mecha divisions who entered the legion, had and could not overcome immediately.

Mu Chen sighed in his heart, thinking that he had forgotten that there was such a course in the military academy. At that time, Shen Yi was discouraged and completely gave up studying, and he got F in every course.

He was a little annoyed in his heart, but his expression was very natural: "A substitute."

"You have obviously left the military academy, and you grew up in a war zone where you are not threatened by the Dominiks. Why are you suddenly curious about the Dominiks?"

Mu Chen also raised his eyebrows: "We live in the interstellar age, but some people like to study the biological habits and structures of prehistoric dinosaurs. After I left the military academy, although I changed my environment, I no longer had the pressure of training results. Instead, I became curious about this alien species. What's the problem?"

"Browse the information of the Dominiks through the Star Network?"

Mu Chen nodded.

Claude smiled and spread his hands: "The popular science information on the Star Network... is far less detailed than the information on the military academy."

"In all the records, the description of the Dominic throat gun emphasizes its powerful power, and it must be countered by the power of the mecha. For ordinary people who are not wearing mechas, the first and only recommended plan recorded in all the Federation's information is to dodge as quickly as possible."

"But if I am not mistaken, during your fight with Mr. Fiaro, you always wanted to control it, and never thought of escaping or asking for help... This is not the way an ordinary person should think."

"In addition, all the information on the Star Network emphasizes that the throat gun is one of the deadly attack organs of the Dominic tribe. It is powerful and extremely fast, and can easily penetrate steel plates. But you... Why do you think you can control Mr. Fiaro's throat gun with both hands?"

Mu Chen: "..."

As expected of a Black Eagle investigator, he thought to himself, with a very delicate mind. Mu Chen quickly searched for reasons in his mind, and Su Qing said coldly on the side: "I trained him."

Claude curved his eyes.

"Indeed, you have your own holographic training system, which can train your partner step by step." He turned to Su Qing, "Perhaps this reason can explain Mu Chen's performance this time, but what about Elplan? There is no training equipment there."

"Claude." Su Qing said coldly, "Please don't waste our time on things without evidence and groundless speculation. How I teach and train Mu Chen is not the focus of tonight."

Mu Chen was slightly enlightened.

Indeed, he was almost led astray by Claude just now, thinking about how to explain the flaws in himself.

"Back to the topic." Su Qing tapped the table with his fingertips and looked at Shao Wen: "I am more concerned about Mr. Feiaro's condition."

"What was the cause of his illness in the first place? How did he get sick? Is this disease contagious?"

Mu Chen: "..."

Mu Chen's face changed slightly.

Shao Wen shook his head to reassure them.

"Feialuo bit my wrist when he first showed anxiety. This disease is not contagious... It is a man-made genetic disease."

He leaned back in his chair and pointed to the decoration on the wall: it was a mural of a spirited lion.

Such decorations can be seen everywhere in the Graystone Palace. This high-spirited lion is the emblem of the Rad family. Although the Graystone Palace has changed its owner and replaced a wave of utensils and furniture, there are still many decorations with Rad family metaphors on the walls and arches inside the entire building.

Because Shao Wen did not want to rebuild the building and redecorate it, and he did not care too much about these, he did not remove these decorations after he took over the Rad family.

"The previous director, Joan, died suddenly of illness. His uncle-in-law nominated his son to be the current head of the Rad family, and Fiallo, as Joan's only son, became a dangerous item that could threaten his position. Although Fiallo did not take over politics, they still regarded him as a thorn in their eyes."

Speaking of this past, Shao Wen's face was gloomy.

"Originally, I had more or less contact with the Rad family because of my pursuit of Fiaro. I know that at that time, the current head of the Rad family and the head of the Reard family were both trying to divide up Qiong's power and were in a mess. I originally wanted to take Fiaro away from the capital star to avoid the limelight. But he was too sad and insisted on guarding his father's body and refused to bury it."

"...and something happened." "

Fiaro was kidnapped when he went out one time. When I rescued him from the Rad family, he had already fallen ill."

"It was also because of that kidnapping that I decided to become this director." Shao Wen smiled bitterly, "I don't have any lofty ambitions. I just hope that the Human Federation will be neither meritorious nor detrimental under my leadership, and that I can at least have some power to protect Fiaro and live safely on the capital star."

Mu Chen seemed to be thinking about something.

"Can you tell me what that information says now?" Shao Wen leaned forward and asked, "The experiment of gene fusion between the Domic people and humans has always been managed by the Rad family. Since Fiaro grew a throat gun, I began to suspect... He was also one of the experimental subjects at that time."

"Ten years." Su Qing did not answer Shao Wen's question, but asked, "It took ten years for the effect of gene fusion to fully play out? As far as I know, the development process of gene fusion should not be so slow."

Shao Wen: "..."

"I have been giving him medicine." He could only confess.

"At first I didn't know what the cause of his illness was, but the doctor found that his gene fragments were abnormal. I tried many kinds of drugs, and later found that the most effective in inhibiting the development of his genetic disease was Oga solvent."

Su Qing raised his eyes: "The main product of Swiss Pharmaceuticals in recent years."

"Yes." Shao Wen nodded, "As Swiss Pharmaceuticals developed new products, I have changed Fiaro's medicine many times. But the effect of the medicine has become weaker and weaker."

Mu Chen always felt that the words Swiss Pharmaceuticals sounded familiar. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly remembered that he had heard of it in the news.

It is a pharmaceutical company invested by the Reard family. It mainly develops various drugs for treating genetic diseases. A few days ago, it developed a targeted drug for the most dangerous Sam gene disease, so it was touted in the news.

Mu Chen: ... No wonder.

"I don't completely agree with the ceasefire agreement." Shao Wen looked at Su Qing with a little guilt, "But because of the Reard family's genetic medicine... I can't raise any objections. Otherwise, Fiaro's disease will be more difficult to deal with."

"I thought about the end of his illness..." Shao Wen whispered, "If it really can't be controlled, Fiaro may become a real Dominican. I can only lock him in a cage and let him live in the dark for the rest of his life."

"I don't want that."

"Please... tell me the information of that experiment." Shao Wen pleaded, "I really need it."

Su Qing still didn't answer.

His expression was indifferent, and there was no trace of being moved by Shao Wen's words. He only said coldly: "One last question."

"According to the information you have, is the Rad family's gene fusion experiment still going on?"

Shao Wen sighed, vaguely realizing that he would not be able to get what he wanted from the other party tonight. But for Fiaro, he still answered every question with good temper and shook his head.

"Because the experiment has not been effective and there is a lack of funds, the laboratory should have been closed."

The night was deep.

When Mu Chen and Su Qing finally left the Gray Stone Palace, the New Year's banquet had already ended. They finally reached a deal with Shao Wen, and after leaving the Gray Stone Palace safely and waiting for Su Qing's mental domain treatment to be completed, they would inform the director of the content of the information.

The smell of various perfumes was still floating in the air.

Claude sent Mu Chen and Su Qing out of the Graystone Palace, his eyes still fixed on Mu Chen, and finally said, "I'm curious. How did you know about the secret laboratory?"

Mu Chen had guessed that Claude would ask this question, and asked back, "How did you know?"

Claude smiled and shook his head, "You and Major General Su Qing are learning very quickly."

Just now, he only knew how to refute his questions, but now he has learned to ask back questions to shut him up.

He couldn't answer Mu Chen's questions, and Mu Chen wouldn't answer him either.

Mu Chen also smiled, got on the aircraft, and sat next to Su Qing.

Claude raised his eyebrows and turned back to the Graystone Palace.

"Just let the person go like this?" He returned to the lounge. Shao Wen was still sitting in the same position as before, with one hand on the armrest of the chair, and his fingers rhythmically tapped the wooden edge of the armrest, making a regular light sound.

"Are you really going to wait until Su Qing's mental treatment is complete before asking?" Claude leaned against the door, looking at Shao Wen's profile reflected in the light. "I can't say for sure whether Su Qing and Mu Chen will make any moves at that time. If he doesn't give you the information, can you still control them?"

Shao Wen shook his head, turned to look at Claude and smiled, "Don't joke with me."

"They haven't got the information yet." Shao Wen said, "You can guess it."

The slightly cowardly and gentle expression on his face disappeared, turning into a leisurely calmness: "If they have already seen the test data... they should know more about Fiaro's situation. They won't ask me about every detail."

"What's more, according to the image of the 'director' in other people's minds... I have always been hesitant and slow in doing things. What's more, I have always shown my admiration for Su Qing's military achievements and gratitude for his contributions to the Federation. If I suddenly and decisively take action against him, even if Fiaro's illness is exposed as a shield, it may arouse the suspicion of the Reard family."

Shao Wen stopped tapping his fingertips and reached out to take the lion ornament on the table next to him.

"It's better not to provoke those two poisonous snakes now."

Claude also smiled.

"The data has probably been swapped." He shook his head. "Probably by a researcher in the institute. This matter is getting more and more interesting."

"Wait. It's better if you don't have to do it yourself." Shao Wen said relaxedly, "Just watch. Su Qing and Mu Chen must be more anxious than me."

He curled the corners of his lips, as if sighing, and as if mocking: "They are looking at the entire Human Federation in their eyes."

"You want to cooperate with them."

"Not now." Shao Wen said calmly, "It's not time to make a choice. We still have time."

"There's still time..." Claude said with a smile: "Mr. Director, the tone of your voice now shows that you have forgotten to pretend to be affectionate."

"How could it be." Shao Wen said calmly, "Even for Fiaro's body, it's not the most urgent time. With genetic drugs suppressing it, he can at least hold on for half a year. Now waiting for Su Qing and Mu Chen to act means waiting for ten more days or half a month, at most three months. Even if they can't get the data by then, I can judge the location of the data based on his trajectory of action."

Claude seemed to be thinking about something.

"Their next destination is Bryce Sky City," the investigator said, "there may be clues to the information there."

"But the Reard family has their own arrangements in Bryce Sky City. Why don't you tell them?"

Shao Wen: "If they can't even get past this, there's no point in cooperating."

"What about the other witnesses tonight?" The director changed the subject and asked about the guards and Yu Wenyuan.

"They haven't woken up yet, and someone is watching them." Claude said, "Those guards are easy to deal with, but Yu Wenyuan... seems to have been close to the Reard family recently."

Shao Wen laughed: "Hoffman wants to support his own power in the Mecha Research Institute of the Academy of Sciences, but why doesn't he know how to pick a good one?"

"Mr. Director, not everyone has my investigative ability." Claude raised his eyebrows, "The plagiarism case has been judged many years ago, and Yu Wenyuan is the plaintiff. It is normal for Hoffman to be deceived. What's more, he can't go to those old pedants who are not moved by soft or hard words."

Shao Wen laughed again: "That's right..."

"Lock up Yu Wenyuan first and forge a missing file." The director thought for a moment, and finally said, "If the Reard family really comes to ask for someone, it doesn't matter to give it to him." Anyway,

Fiaro's illness is not a secret in the Reard family... That was his intention to get close to Hoffman. Reard, a deliberate weakness and handle.

Tonight is a clear night.

Mu Chen looked at the purple crescent moon rising outside the window and frowned in thought.

"Do you think..." he asked, looking at Su Qing's image in the glass, "How much can we trust the director's words?"

The major general raised his eyes: "Which part?"

Mu Chen hummed: "I can't tell, I always feel that there is something strange."

Su Qing: "He is not as incompetent as he appears."

Mu Chen nodded, he also felt this way.

Apart from anything else, in the dispute between the Reard family and the Rad family, it is impossible for an unimportant official to become a federal director just by relying on the chaotic situation at that time.

Shao Wen has some means, otherwise it would not be his turn to benefit from the situation. And Claude...

This investigator does not look like someone who is willing to follow behind a useless director and just muddle through for the salary of an investigator.

His sharpness has almost become a habit, and this habit needs to be cultivated for a long time and maintained in a high-pressure environment.

Thinking of Claude, Mu Chen suddenly felt strange again.

When he went to the satellite city that day, he temporarily ignored it because of the gene fusion project... With Claude's identity, why did he live in the sixth satellite city with a large floating population and most of them were migrant workers? And it just happened to be next to No. 80001?

No. 80001 of the Sixth Satellite City... maybe there are still secrets.

Mu Chen was in a state of panic.

Let's talk about the gene fusion experiment...

The fusion of human genes and Dominican genes will create a "monster" like Feiaro's disease state... and Feiaro is probably not the only experimental subject. Shao Wen said that the experiment has been shut down, but he did not investigate the whereabouts of the experimental subjects.

Mu Chen was horrified.

He thought of the human cities that were constantly invaded and conquered by the Dominicans in later generations.

At that time, the scope of the war zone continued to expand, and the front line was frequently lost. Sky cities and planets in the Federation were suddenly attacked by the Dominicans one after another. Those attacks came without warning. The guards outside the planet did not issue a warning at all, and the Dominiks appeared in the city.

When the second war began, it was only a hundred years after the ceasefire agreement. Could the chaos at that time also be related to this experiment?

There was also a human caregiver who became a Dominican under the live broadcast of the murder of the major general. The identity of the caregiver has always been a mystery. In the subsequent investigation, his registration information was not found in the sanatorium.

But Mu Chen clearly realized that the performance of the human caregiver was very different from that of Fiaro.

In the live video at that time, the human caregiver clearly had self-awareness. He was not like Fiaro tonight, but was driven by some instinct in his genes. What's more... he had a second mouth of the Domic people.

After his disguise was peeled off, the human head cracked... that was a process that could not be restored.

Mu Chen turned to Su Qing.

Su Qing kept looking at him while Mu Chen was thinking.

Mu Chen and the major general looked at each other, and for some reason, he felt more at ease.

"You said..." he asked, "What exactly does the director want to do?"

Su Qing shook his head.

"It's hard to judge." He said, "But don't worry for the time being."

"No matter what the reason is, he needs the experimental data of the gene fusion project." Su Qing said calmly, "He won't do it until we give him the data."

Mu Chen nodded.

"What else?" The major general looked at Mu Chen, "You are worried."

Mu Chen rubbed his face and said dissatisfiedly, "Is it so obvious?"

"Not really." But as he got to know Mu Chen better, he could understand the meaning of every subtle expression of the young man more and more.

"...It's not that you saw through it at a glance." Mu Chen muttered.

"I am indeed worried." He said, "I have an idea, but because it is a bit absurd, I don't know how to say it."

"Have you ever thought..." He looked at Su Qing and whispered, "Domicid organs can appear in humans, and Domicids... may also 'become' humans?" There

was a long silence in the aircraft.

Su Qing frowned tightly.

Mu Chen has been looking for a chance to bring up this idea. Because he was afraid of being abrupt, he didn't find the time until today.

"First, although the Dominic tribe is an intelligent race, according to our understanding of them, their technological level is far lower than that of the Human Federation. They rely more on their own physical strength. Even the Dominic aircraft carriers are special species differentiated from the tribe, not technological creations."

"Second, the Rad family wants to integrate the genes of the Dominic tribe, just like they have always wanted to tame star beasts. In essence, they want to improve the combat power of humans and expand outward."

"And for the Dominic tribe, humans are the 'weak' party. The technology that humans rely on to compete with the Dominic tribe has nothing to do with genetic inheritance."

Mu Chen opened his mouth and was about to refute, but he saw Su Qing nodded slightly.

"But it's possible." He said.

"Humans should never use their own experience to infer other intelligent species." He said, "Since the mother planet Earth, humans have been the master for too long, and the idea of ​​judging others by their own standards has been derived... stereotyped and arrogant."

Mu Chen responded in a low voice.

Su Qing met his worried eyes, but shook his head slightly.

"No need to guess."

"The external manifestations will eventually be reflected in the genetic code."

"We have a genetic sample of Fiaro, which can be sent to the First Legion for testing privately."

"Through genetic sequencing, we may be able to find the key gene fragment that allowed him to grow the Dominican attack organs while maintaining the human appearance."

Mu Chen suddenly realized.

"If the Dominicans can really disguise themselves as humans, then there must be similar parts in their genetic fragments." Mu Chen said while thinking, "By determining the key gene fragments, and then promoting universal sequencing, we can identify suspected infected persons and then supervise them."

It seems like a stupid way, but it may be the only effective way.

Su Qing responded and slowed down his voice: "Don't worry. Take it step by step."

Mu Chen nodded: "First send Fiaro's genetic sample for testing, and go to Bryce Sky City to find the genetic test data at that time."

Maybe there will be new discoveries.

He finally calmed down.

Mu Chen looked at Su Qing, and finally noticed something slightly different about the major general.

Su Qing's originally pale cheeks turned a little red, not very obvious, so Mu Chen only noticed it now.

He quickly reached out and touched the major general's forehead.

"No fever." Mu Chen asked in confusion: "How come... that glass of wine has such a strong aftereffect?!"

Su Qing pulled Mu Chen's wrist and gently pulled his arm down: "We're done with business."

Mu Chen was confused by what he said, and nodded.

Su Qing hummed, but did not let go of Mu Chen's wrist, and only said in a calm voice, "Then let me ask you."

"What is your relationship with Yu Wenyuan?"

The author has something to say:

These are two chapters that are crazy about clues, pretending to be deep. jpeg (Ahhh, I actually shook so many words! Don't hit me if you run away with your head in your hands)

cough... cough cough cough... just...

anyway, anyway, now it is: (knock on the blackboard)

=====

Director: It looks like it's for Fiaro, but in fact there is another purpose, so what is this purpose? Will the Director be a villain or an ally? (Let's wait for the answer)

Su Qing, Mu Chen: We know the Director has ulterior motives, but we don't know what he wants to do for now. No matter what, let's first deal with the genetic fusion and the Domic disguised as humans!
