I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

Galaxy Building.

Ai Er smiled at the man in front of him and said, "Mr. Jun, to adopt a mermaid, you need to go through the adoption procedures first. If you need, I can ask my assistant to help you with it, but the first batch of places has been fully booked, so you may have to wait for a while."

"But if you don't want to wait, you can also apply for fish eggs. We will provide professional hatching technology to assist in hatching, and you can also participate in the hatching process, which is more meaningful. This is also a popular adoption model at present."

There were three little red mermaids swimming around in the aquarium, and Jun Yan was a little fascinated by them. The purpose of his coming to Lingxing this time was to see these legendary mermaids.

After a moment, he turned around and looked at Al: "I want to invest in the Mermaid Project. I wonder if Xinghe is willing to cooperate?"

His words surprised Al, but he still gave a serious reply: "Regarding the Mermaid Project, we currently have no plans for external cooperation. I'm afraid we will disappoint you."

"I know the Vincent family is not short of funds. How about a medium-sized planting star? I heard that Xinghe is currently negotiating to acquire the agency rights for a planting star. Cross may lack anything except planting stars and natural ingredients."

Al's eyes moved slightly. On the one hand, he was shocked at Jun Yan's well-informed information, because the acquisition of the planting star was not carried out in the name of Xinghe. Since the other party was able to find out, it meant that he was well prepared.

On the other hand, he was shocked by the other party's generosity. The value of a medium-sized planting star could be said to be equivalent to a small planetary system. There were only a dozen medium-sized planting stars in the entire interstellar space, and Cross only owned five of them.

Al couldn't help but be curious about his purpose. Even if the mermaids were so tempting, it wouldn't be worth spending so much.

Before Al could reply, Jun Yan added: "All profits from the Mermaid Project belong to Xinghe. I only participated in the research and development, and I promise that all the research and development results belong to Xinghe."

If a medium-sized planting star only shocked Al, then the other party's words at this moment directly made him alert.

Not asking for any research and development results is tantamount to giving Galaxy a medium-sized planting star for free.

From a businessman's perspective, in the long run, the potential of the Mermaid Project may not be less than the value of a medium-sized planting star. If the other party wants to invest and enter a new industry territory, it is understandable.

But since he doesn't want any return on his investment, it's impossible for anyone not to doubt his purpose.

Al smiled slightly: "I have to say that Mr. Jun's conditions are very tempting, but the mermaid project is special and involves research and development secrets. Even if I want to cooperate with you, I can only give up with regret."

Jun Yan frowned: "If you are worried that my intentions are not pure, you can rest assured that I have no other intentions."

His words were undoubtedly very straightforward. Al's eyes flashed and he got straight to the point: "I wonder why Mr. Jun is so enthusiastic about the mermaid project?"

"I'm sorry I can't disclose it due to privacy issues, but I can promise that this cooperation will bring only benefits to Xinghe. Please consider it carefully. I will stay in Lingxing for three days and look forward to your reply. Goodbye." Jun Yan said and left Xinghe.

Al looked at his back thoughtfully, and then sent the conversation with him to Huo Linyuan.

Huo's old house.

Qi Yan put his hand on the fish tank, and the little mermaid tilted its head and swam towards him.

But because of the obstruction of the glass, it kept wandering back and forth, as if trying to find a breakthrough.

Qi Yan looked at it for a while and realized something was wrong.

The little mermaid looked dull, and her eyes moved very slowly. She didn't look like she was thinking at all, just like how he usually felt when he saw a goldfish.

"Don't they have thoughts?" Qi Yan asked.

"For ethical reasons, most simulated creatures do not have independent thinking consciousness," said Huo Linyuan.

In fact, when creating the anime mermaids, they deliberately deleted the genetic segment that symbolizes independent consciousness.

"So what happens to them in the end?"

Qi Yan suddenly felt that these little mermaids were very pitiful, because their selfish desires were created without reason, but they could not have their own living habits, nor could they have natural biological instincts, just like duckweed without roots.

As a vested interest, these little mermaids were born because of him, but Qi Yan didn't know whether he could bear the weight of these lives.

Huo Linyuan touched his head and said, "Don't worry. Every planet has established a mermaid protection association. The newly introduced interstellar laws strictly stipulate that mermaids cannot be harmed under any circumstances."

"During the adoption process, Xinghe will also strictly review the conditions and character of the adopters. Most people have a special feeling for mermaids. Even if we don't promote the mermaid revival plan now, this research will still be put on the agenda one day in the future."

Although she understood that Huo Linyuan was trying to comfort her, Qi Yan did feel much better after hearing him say that.

In fact, in order to implement this plan, Huo Linyuan had already made comprehensive arrangements. Take the Mermaid Protection Association as an example. If it had not been organized in advance, how could it have been established so quickly?

The palace at this time.

Si Yue looked at the mermaid in the water tank with interest. After a moment, he raised his head and looked at the young man standing next to him: "What do you think is Xinghe's intention in suddenly bringing out the mermaid?"

The key point is that they didn't receive any news in advance.

"I am stupid and don't know what your majesty means. In my opinion, this is just a means of commercial profit." The young man said calmly, even with a little indifference.

"Oh? Do you really think so?" Si Yue seemed a little surprised by his answer, but he did not delve into it. Instead, he changed the subject and asked, "How is the attempt to win over Vincent El going?"

"I heard that Xinghe has taken over the agency rights for the asteroid, but Vincent Eyre's current attitude seems unclear." The young man paused here.

"I once said that I would not get involved in the political struggle between the royal family and the military. Your Majesty, have you forgotten your promise to me?"

Hearing this, Si Yue looked at him expressionlessly, his calm eyes showing no emotion. The young man looked back calmly with a smile on his face, neither humble nor arrogant.

After a moment, the man withdrew his gaze and bowed to Si Yue: "I am preparing for admission these days. I am very busy. Please excuse me first."

After saying that, he turned and left without waiting for Si Yue's permission.

The man's attitude made Si Yue feel a little unhappy.

When he reached the door, Si Yue called him and reminded him calmly, "Sang Mo, don't forget your identity."

Sang Mo stopped but did not look back. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "Sang Mo always remember this."
