The place where the director Li Li made an appointment to meet Fan Ying was near the incubator where the embryos were, but Fan Ying and Li Li did not meet in the living room, but met halfway.

Li Li had his hands behind his back and his brows were fixed. Across a large glass curtain wall, tens of thousands of people from the future planet were lying in the white eggshell-shaped cultivation cabin.The white "eggshells" are densely packed in rows and rows; hoses and metal pipes of various colors are all over the room, winding like a dense net woven by vines.

Fan Ying is in charge of maintaining these embryos. Apart from the screen called out from the control room, this is the first time she has seen this screen with her own eyes.The different stages of life gestation are displayed in front of her eyes at the same time.Among them, there are the first fertilized eggs of human life, mature embryos, human babies wearing respirators, and...

Fan Ying saw the children sleeping with their eyes open.In order to save money, planetary beings before the age of ten never leave the cultivation cabin.Like the unactivated sims, they accept the presupposition with the same lifelessness.The children have no childhood, they learn planetary knowledge unconsciously with their eyes open in the nutrition cabin, and when they are "released" at the age of ten, they are guided by special personnel to adapt to living alone, and become ordinary S-star people.

Is this how I grew up... Outside of study and research, Fan Ying has never thought about this issue. Those puppet-like children aroused her long-buried fear.

"Afraid?" This was the first sentence Li Li and Fan Ying said.

Li Li has blue eyes similar to Qiao Na's and a high nose bridge, but his eyebrows and eyes are the standard appearance of oriental people.He was just 30 years old, and his black hair was conspicuously mixed with silver.He is wearing a retro pure white lab coat with a mini computer in his chest pocket, just like the lab staff that Fan Ying often sees in historical images.Concise and simple.

Fan Ying hesitated and nodded.

"The job application you submitted at the beginning said that you wanted to participate in the research of embryo cultivation technology, so I transferred you to your current position." Li Li's gaze fell on the face of a child in the incubator, and he paused. Say, "Do you still want to join my team?"

Shocked, thinking that every planet has the same birth experience, Fan Ying finally kept calm in front of her boss. "Of course." Her research direction is here, can she back down so easily?

Li Li never looked at her directly from the beginning to the end, but the two of them were able to make eye contact through the mirror image reflected in the glass.Li Li reached out and tapped on the glass, and said, "The subject you focus on is the same as my research. We want to cure genetic diseases, and even prevent its occurrence from the source."

"I have almost achieved this goal." After saying this, Li Li smiled slowly on his face: "Not long ago, all my research materials were lost."

Li Li plainly mentioned the fact that Fan Ying was extremely surprised, and he didn't care that the achievements of more than ten years had been wasted.

"Director..." Fan Ying didn't know how to answer Li Li's words, and racked her brains trying to comfort him according to the stereotyped experience.

Li Li said: "I personally destroyed those materials."

Fan Ying suddenly looked away from Li Li's mirror image, and finally turned her head to look at his real person.Rather than "Why did the director do this", she wanted to know why Li Li told her a new employee this secret.

Li Li showed her his thin profile. Besides the genetic disease, he found a new mystery.This mystery caused him to abandon the goal he wanted to fight his whole life.So far, Fan Ying only knows about this.

She waited patiently for a long time before Li Licai gave her his eyes "for charity". He extended his right hand to Fan Ying and said, "I hope you can participate in my new project...a private project."

Fan Ying's mouth opened into an "o" shape, her face full of bewilderment.She thought that Li Li had no need to deceive her, but his thoughtless confession and invitation made her feel that she had fallen into a trap.

"I...I..." She looked forward to Li Li's appreciation, and at the same time understood that Li Li was not offering an olive branch to her because of her talent.Fan Ying hesitated, Li Li's hand that invited her to form an alliance hung in the air like a sculpture.Gritting her teeth, Fan Ying held Li Li's hand, "Director, I'll join."

Hearing this, Li Li showed a strange smile again, "You can visit me at any time, new research is being carried out at my home."

What this research specifically involves, he will not explain at this time, Fan Ying believes in him based on her preconceived impression of him, and gambled.

Inexplicably, she joined Li Li's camp. At the end of the conversation, Fan Ying couldn't help asking: "Why me?" Why not her contemporaries?

Li Li lowered his head.He didn't say anything, and Fan Ying couldn't see his expression.

She just felt that he was laughing.

With malicious intentions, he smiled mockingly.

Li Li felt uneasy in Fan Ying's heart.Before leaving, he pointedly asked her to spend more time "watching" the embryo.

Fan Ying's absent-mindedness lasted until after get off work.Thinking that it would soon be time to meet Arthur, she listlessly went to the infirmary of the laboratory and asked for a refreshing potion.As she left the building, she drank as she walked.

The simulated person followed her, except for a moment when it met Li Li, it followed her so silently.Fan Ying didn't want to neglect it, but she was used to living alone and didn't know how to get along with others, let alone how to take care of the robot's mood.Fan Ying looked back to confirm its existence from time to time, and this was the only way she could pay attention to the robot.

Ten minutes before the meeting, Fan Ying received a video letter from Arthur.The video locates him near a garbage collection station on the outskirts of the city, and the background sound is the dull and regular breathing of factory machines.Fan Ying was suddenly out of breath.She pinched her collar and squatted on the side of the street.The pedestrian crawlers a dozen steps away carried people to and fro, and from time to time there were people passing above or beside her by manipulating various power devices.Whether it is quiet or noisy, they are eating away at her spirit.

Arthur temporarily changed the meeting place, and Fan Ying was inevitably late.Before she arrived, Arthur plugged his earplugs amid the din of the factory machines, and he didn't remove the foreign object until his doll slapped him on the shoulder.

"Leo, turn on the sound field."

The moment his voice fell, the noise in Fan Ying's ears disappeared.Arthur caught the slight confusion in her eyes, and explained triumphantly: "This is a program I researched, which can block out noise, and has the function of preventing eavesdropping by the way."

He could finally explain to her what he couldn't explain in the video call before in this safe environment.

Arthur pointed to his emulator, "My emulator also has this program. You can't uninstall it, it's really rogue, but whoever infected your computer with it, I think he did it out of kindness..."

Fan Ying's expression changed slightly.

"My daily routine is to repair computers. I have met a few people like you who have installed 'Freedom' for no reason. At first I also thought it was some new type of virus-carrying program, and it was a headache to crack it..."

"Later, I met a fool who brought the simulated person to me for help, and the next day he hurriedly yelled at the simulated person to leave. I thought it was wrong, so I coaxed him to tell the truth."

"Someone planted this program in his emulator, what do you think it is for?"

Before meeting Arthur, Fan Ying didn't know that he was such a talkative person.The current situation is not urgent. He deliberately bypassed the core and asked her to follow the branches to find the source, just like he was telling a story.

"I can't guess." Fan Ying responded to him coldly.

Arthur was not discouraged by her enthusiasm, anyway, he had to talk about the key point of today.Arthur lowered his voice, and finally regained his seriousness, "That program can help us get rid of the planetary government's control."

"It takes care of us and monitors us. It gives us free services, gets sperm and eggs from us, and the data."

"You work in the family planning department of Planet Labs, you must have seen embryos, right? Don't you think that a simulated human is like an active incubation cabin?"

You must be lying to me.Just like Li Li in the morning.

Fan Ying smiled wryly, this time she took the initiative to take Arthur's words, and said, "You mean, the planetary government is monitoring us?"
