Future Shennong Space

In July 3069 in the interstellar calendar, less than a day had passed since the opening ceremony of the Federation Mecha League.While people were still immersed in the celebration of the opening of the mech competition, the news about the Mutant Zerg and the Ragu Star Empire cast a shadow over the warm atmosphere.

Once the evidence was exposed, it immediately caused an uproar in the entire Federation, especially the specific information about the mutated Zerg and the number of casualties they caused were simply shocking.Many people speculate that if there is official support from the Lagu galaxy behind this matter, it is simply a plan to break face with the Federation and plan to start a war.

The dispute between the Lagu Star Empire and the Galactic Federation has been going on for a long time. The social systems of the two sides are different, and the development of mineral planets and energy planets on the edge of the galaxy is contradictory, plus some other disputes.In the past few hundred years, the two sides have experienced two large-scale interstellar wars. Even after a peace treaty was reached, the frictional conflicts and small wars on the edge of the interstellar still did not stop.

If it is finally confirmed that this mutated Zerg incident was indeed officially ordered by the Lagu star empire, then the third interstellar war may be unavoidable.

Although the situation has not been confirmed yet, the clouds of war have begun to gather above people's heads.

The Mecha League was not affected by this incident. On the contrary, when everyone strongly condemned the incident caused by the Ragu Star Empire, both the participating players and ordinary citizens of the Federation burst out with unprecedented passion because of this incident. .

The battle in the ranking competition was very fierce from the very beginning. Every contestant showed their strength without reservation. Various new weapons and combat techniques also appeared on the field in turn, making all the audience dazzled.Moreover, judging from the official data, this Mecha League attracted more attention than the previous ones, and almost everyone participated in it.

Naturally, this enthusiastic atmosphere can also be felt in the Academy of Sciences, but it did not affect the normal work.And because of the infection of this atmosphere, everyone's enthusiasm for work has increased, and their work efficiency has also improved a lot.

Because of this, when Ji Mingxiao took the plant samples he had just finished the mental power experiment for data testing, the results came out only a few hours later.

At the beginning, no one found anything unusual, until a scientific researcher found something wrong when comparing the data.

At first, he thought he had read it wrong, and immediately re-tested cautiously, and compared it several times before confirming that the data was correct.

He looked at the data on the electronic tablet in his hand in disbelief, and after a while, he almost tremblingly connected to the personal terminal of the laboratory director.

"N...Professor Nelson," he stammered, "I think...you...you need to come over..."

When the person on the opposite side asked something, he swallowed, collected himself, and finally spoke smoothly:

"I think... our experiment has made a breakthrough!"

------------------------

When the work in the afternoon was coming to an end, a rush of notifications sounded throughout the laboratory, and then a female voice informed: "All the staff in the laboratory, please suspend work, keep the experimental materials and equipment as they are, and do not tamper with any data."

After three consecutive notifications, the content of the notification changed: "Ji Mingxiao, an intern in the laboratory, please go to the main control room..."

Also after three notifications, the laboratory returned to silence.

All the researchers looked at each other, not knowing what happened.However, everyone followed the instructions to suspend the work at hand, and some ongoing experiments were also dealt with urgently, and stopped after saving the data.

With the help of Shelley, Ji Mingxiao had just arranged the newly received plant samples when he heard the prompt tone, and he looked at Shelley in surprise.

Shelley frowned slightly, "What happened?".

Ji Mingxiao shook his head, expressing that he was not too clear.

A later notice mentioned his name.

Shelley glanced at him, and asked suspiciously, "Your name was called just now, what did you do?"

Ji Mingxiao was also at a loss.

"I don't know," he said to Shelley, "but I have to go to the main control room. Do you know where the main control room is?"

Shelley motioned him to look at the personal terminal, "Check the instruction map."

He clicked on the terminal, and quickly found the schematic diagram of the laboratory's location. A red dot showed his location, and an arrow indicated the direction.

He hesitated for a moment, said goodbye to the worried Shelley, then left the small laboratory according to the direction of the arrow, and entered a corridor after passing through several different environments.

As soon as he entered the corridor, the light screen interface of the personal terminal automatically turned off, and at the same time, a prompt sounded above his head: "Please follow the direction indicated by the green light."

A green indicator light lit up on the wall of the corridor, and he walked in the indicated direction.

After walking in the long corridor for more than ten minutes, the indicator light went out, and a door opened at the end of the corridor.

Ji Mingxiao stopped at the door, took a deep breath and walked in.

Unlike the dark corridor, the inside was brightly lit, and the moment he entered, he couldn't help but raise his hand to block the light.

After getting used to it for a while, he put his hand down, and was startled by the sights staring at him.

The main control room has a large space, and the high zenith uses some kind of transparent building material, so you can clearly see the color of the sky.There are more than a dozen people in this room now, and everyone's eyes are on him, making him stand at the door for a while, not knowing what to do.

Someone walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder.He looked up, meeting Cecil's gaze.

Cecil smiled at him and said, "Don't worry, I just want you to watch something."

The main control room is divided into upper and lower floors by steps, and there is a large operating platform in the middle of the upper floor.After everyone took their seats around the operating table, a genetic holographic image of a double helix structure appeared on the operating table, with a lot of data marked beside it.

"This is a plant sample we tested this morning." The person in charge waved his hand to the right, and the hologram immediately rotated around, and at the same time a partial image was enlarged.

"Pay attention here." He pointed to one of the marked parts, "This sample is a copy of tissue culture taken from the original material. At that time, we made a small amount of modification to its gene. Here, add Some foreign genes."

"Our purpose is to increase its adaptability without affecting the original genetic structure it needs. But obviously, the previous experiments were not successful, and this artificially modified part will affect the effect of the antidote."

With a wave of his hand, another structural diagram appeared, and the two holographic images were put together for comparison.Ordinary people can't see anything, but people here can tell the difference at a glance.

"They're fused," someone whispered, his voice full of disbelief.

"The fusion is so natural that there is no trace at all." Another person said, "It's as if its genetic structure was originally like this."

"Have you tested other data?" The brown-haired middle-aged man sitting in the first seat asked calmly.

"The data detection is normal." The operator said, "An antidote can be made, and at the same time,"

He paused, and continued: "In the external environment, it can reproduce normally."

The scene was quiet for a moment, and then there was an uproar.After a while, everyone's eyes refocused on Ji Mingxiao.

"Did he do it?" Someone murmured, "This ability..."

"It's a miracle," interrupted Professor Sharp, "a miracle of the entire Federation."

He looked at Ji Mingxiao sharply, "When did your mental power upgrade?"

Ji Mingxiao was also shocked by the previously announced information, and he had to go through Professor Sharp's words in his mind before he realized it.

"Upgrade?" He froze for a moment, "Me?"

Professor Sharp frowned, "Isn't this your plant sample? How did you do it if you didn't upgrade your spiritual power?"

Seeing that Ji Mingxiao was still in a daze, Professor Sharp pointed to Cecil impatiently, "Take him for a test."

Cecil smiled and agreed, stood up and walked to Ji Mingxiao's side.

When Ji Mingxiao followed him away, Professor Sharp stopped them again.

"During the test..." He paused, his tone slowed down, "Be sure to pay attention to safety."

-----------------------

The test results come out quickly.Ji Mingxiao looked at the numbers in the grade column of the test form, feeling complicated for a moment.

"It's really level 10." He whispered in confusion, "but why I don't know."

"I'm also very strange." Cecil walked to his side and looked at the test results in his hand. "However, before level 9, mental power is an accumulation of quantity, and it will only change after reaching level 10. It's normal for you to not notice it for a while."

"But..." He pushed his glasses up with his fingers, "I really want to know what your abilities are."

When we went to the main control room, there were only three people left: Professor Sharp, the brown-haired middle-aged man who was sitting in the first seat, and the young man who explained.

"This is the head of the laboratory, Professor Nelson, and his student, Researcher Hall." Cecil introduced them, "This is the intern student Ji Mingxiao, and his spiritual power has indeed reached level 10." .”

Professor Nelson looked at him and asked directly: "Your ability can fuse the genetic structure of plants?"

Ji Mingxiao shook his head, and replied: "Because there was no abnormality before, I don't know it very well, and I don't know what I did to make it produce such a change."

"Maybe this video can help you recall." Mr. Hall next to him said gently, and then reached out and clicked on the operating table.

A projection appeared above the console, and the environment was outside their dormitory area, and the time should be late at night.

The video was probably processed. A few seconds later, a person appeared on the road in the dormitory area, and he could clearly see that he was barefoot and wearing pajamas.

Ji Mingxiao's expression was solemn, because that person was himself.

"Is this the surveillance video of the opening ceremony of the Mech League?" he asked.

Mr. Hall nodded, "Yes."

His finger moved, and the camera turned to the door of the laboratory. In the video, Ji Mingxiao opened the door of the laboratory and walked in.

There are a lot of testing equipment in the laboratory, and his actions are clearly recorded.He watched as he walked through his usual work route and entered his laboratory.A blind spot appeared behind, and something blocked the monitoring.

"What did you do?" asked Mr. Hall.

Ji Mingxiao looked at the blankness in the video, and was lost for a while in a daze.

"I think," he said softly, "I know what I've done."
