The Three-Body Problem: The Most Competent Wallfacer of All Time

Chapter 147 Morality
Jiang Yu was taken aback: "The current method should be able to avoid some genetic diseases?"

"Yes," Bai Xiangdong said, "but his heart and lung disease is not genetic, but caused by being too tall and putting too much pressure on the heart and lung organs."

Jiang Yu looked at the giant who fell on the ground for a long while before saying, "Try not to make him suffer too much."

Bai Xiangdong nodded: "I know that although the experiments here are still very immoral, we still have the basic humanitarian spirit.

"Experiment No. [-] is special, please come here."

Jiang Yu came to the second room, and through the glass window of the iron door, he saw a boy about ten years old with a pair of small wings on his back!

The feathers on the wings are white and flawless, but they are a bit small, a bit like ornaments.

But it is like the boy's limbs, occasionally it moves or slaps naturally, as if to prove that it grows on the boy.

Jiang Yu looked at the No. [-] experimental body and said: "I heard that the Trisolarans used their genes to create some people with animal organs in their scientific research base. Have you reached that point?"

Bai Xiangdong said: "I once asked Jiang Shiliu, but unfortunately he didn't know much about the Trisolaran experiment.

"The people who participated in the experiment at that time all died in the conflict at the scientific research base, and no one can give us an answer.

"We can only provide a certain reference for our experiments based on the genetic technology of the 'Poisoned Apple Project'."

He took a deep breath: "And we are still far away from the experimental results of the Trisolarans at that time. As I said before, we have not yet unlocked the shackles of human genes!"

Jiang Yu seemed to have thought of something, and he asked incredulously: "Be clear!"

"Humans have wings in their genes!" Bai Xiangdong said: "Humans seem to be the darlings of nature, and they can go anywhere in the water, land and air!"

This result never occurred to Jiang Yu: "If there is this gene, there should be a small probability of gene mutation, and wings will appear in the newborn!"

Bai Xiangdong shook his head: "Before we conducted these experiments, we also believed that genes would easily mutate.

"But what we didn't expect was that the power of the gene is stronger than we predicted, and it will only make mistakes in some side effects.

"Unless it is affected by external forces, its core part may never fail!"

He paused and said again: "I don't know if you have heard of a hypothesis about prehistoric civilization. It is said that there were actually two kinds of people at that time, one could fly and the other was Homo sapiens.

"The two kinds of people are the same race, just like double eyelids and single eyelids, some have inherited wings, and some have not.

"Homo sapiens could only be regarded as second-class citizens at that time, and they had to submit to the 'flying man' at birth.

"The science and technology of the flying man civilization is more advanced than modern times, but because they soar in the sky all day long, they have no yearning for the sky and space, nor have they conducted in-depth development of space.

"They predicted that there would be a huge and unavoidable disaster on the earth, so they used genetic methods to leave the seeds of various creatures in advance.

"When the smart computers they left behind detected the restoration of the earth's ecology, they began to use the stored NDA to incubate various animals and plants.

"But there was no 'flying man' in the Cenozoic, so Homo sapiens became the protagonist of the earth.

"We yearn for the sky precisely because we carry the gene of flight!"

Jiang Yu was silent for a long time after hearing this hypothesis: "It's like a fairy tale!"

Then he asked: "Why didn't 'Flying Man' appear?"

"Oxygen content!" Bai Xiangdong said: "Compared to tens of millions, even millions of years ago, tens of thousands of years ago, the current oxygen content is lower.

"The shrinking size of organisms is the best proof.

"If the oxygen content of the dinosaur era is still present, the heart and lung organs of Experiment No. [-] will not have such a great pressure, and his size is purely normal."

Jiang Yu looked at the wings on the back of the No. [-] subject for a few seconds before saying: "It's a very rigorous assumption, but it still looks like a fairy tale."

Bai Xiangdong nodded: "I am more inclined to believe that wings existed during the evolution of human beings.

"But flying consumes a huge amount of oxygen, so from a certain age, wings became useless and gradually disappeared from the human body.

"Like the tailbone, maybe without the wings, it has a tail for balance.

"In tens of thousands of years, it is estimated that the tailbone will be gone."

Jiang Yu pointed at Experimental No. [-]: "Can he fly?"

Bai Xiangdong shook his head: "His wings are too small."

While talking, dozens of researchers in white coats came here in a row.

Jiang Yu realized that there seemed to be something wrong with the mood of these people, and the two armed policemen who protected him immediately loaded their semi-automatic rifles.

Bai Xiangdong hurried forward two steps: "Go back to work!"

The researchers seemed not too afraid of the guns in the hands of the armed police. One of the female researchers said to Jiang Yu: "We demand that the inhuman experiments here be stopped immediately!"

Everyone else stood still a few meters away, and shouted: "Yes, stop immediately!" "Defend the moral bottom line of human beings!"

Bai Xiangdong took the opportunity to say to Jiang Yu: "Many researchers think it is inhumane for us to experiment with clones. Many people have already gone on strike, and even more people are passive and sabotage!"

Jiang Yu nodded: "When I came, I thought there might be such a situation."

While talking, he pressed his hands on everyone, and after everyone's voices quieted down, Jiang Yu said: "I understand everyone's feelings, please calm down first, and follow me to the conference room, I invite everyone to see something."

He said to Bai Xiangdong again: "Call all the researchers who are not here, I have something important to tell everyone."

Some researchers speculated that Jiang Yu may have come to cancel the "Super Soldier" project this time.

While discussing in low voices, everyone followed Bai Xiangdong to the conference room.

Seeing that everyone was here, Jiang Yu showed everyone the video of Barlow's failure to break through the wall.

Someone had already guessed something, and the discussion in the conference room gradually died down.

After the video ended, Jiang Yu said to everyone: "This ETO has seen the purpose of the 'Super Soldier' ​​project, and you guys don't have any awareness of this at all!"

Bai Xiangdong was startled: "Well, could this really be you..."

Jiang Yu said: "This is a task assigned by the superior through the 'Space Warrior' plan. I am only the person in charge of the plan, not my plan."

Bai Xiangdong let out a long breath.

Jiang Yu continued to tell everyone: "To be honest, when I saw the experimental subject, I felt a little uncomfortable.

"But what can be done? We are about to be deprived of the right to survive now! Where is the qualification to speak morally?"

　The original update time is officially restored.

　　At the same time, the operations of asking for monthly tickets and asking for recommendation tickets will also be resumed.
