The people from the Universe Development Bureau were very disappointed. Facing the questions raised by Zong Fang and the new city, everyone was very secretive, unwilling to talk too much with them in this regard. However, Zong Fang was a professional after all. Facing these untrained researchers, he still managed to get some bits and pieces of clues and used them to deduce a conclusion.
"They are actually using humans for illegal biological experiments!”
Xin Cheng had an expression of disbelief. Clearly, this conclusion had a huge impact on him.
Due to some historical reasons, for a long time after the end of the war, biological research that used living humans as experimental subjects had always been synonymous with evil. Even legal medical research had to go through layers of approval. Only when it was guaranteed that even if the experiment failed, it would not have any impact on the human body could it obtain experimental permission. The entire experiment had to strictly abide by the principles of humanity. Those participating in human experiments had to ensure that they were willing to participate in the experiment.
Adding a monster's gene into a human's gene was clearly not in line with humanism. Not only would it cause unpredictable harm to the experimenter, but it would also pollute the human gene pool. Therefore, all countries had added criminal law to illegal gene editing.
However, this was something that only those who wanted to destroy the world would do, but it happened in a legal organization that led humans out of Earth and developed the universe. This made it difficult for the new city to believe in Zong Fang's deduction.
"I also hope that I'm wrong."
Zong Fang also sighed.
"But if it wasn't an illegal human experiment, then it's hard to explain what happened to Tsukuda.”
" His genes have been contaminated by the genes of Bougirat, and Bougirat's genetic samples are only stored in the lunar gene bank. Other than the Development Bureau itself, I can't think of anyone else who has access to them.”
"The reason why Tsukuda was taken away by them was to study his genetic disease, but there was no research report on his genetic disease in the archives. There are only two possibilities. One, they didn't do any research, so there was no report. Two, they did research and then deleted it.”
"If they didn't use Okada for genetic disease research, then what did they do with him? If they did, why did they delete the research records?”
"So, I only have one conclusion, and that is that they are doing illegal human experiments, trying to add monster genes into the human body and turn humans into monsters.”
Shuho's speculation was reasonable, and the new city couldn't find a reason to refute it. However, the UAZ incident had just happened, and he still couldn't accept that someone from the Universal Development Agency would do something so terrible.
She wondered what Professor Ezaki would think if he knew about this.
Xin Cheng sighed helplessly and piloted the Flying Swallow towards the base.
...
In the hidden base, Ishihara was having a friendly conversation with the two aliens, Kane Zorn. As a biologist, he was very happy to be able to come into contact with a living alien intelligent life form at such a close distance. It should be known that when they were at the Space Development Agency, the best research subjects they encountered were biological cells that were frozen in asteroids, not complete biological organs, let alone a living organism.
Their habits, their living environment, their body structure, although they had returned to the appearance of a human, when Kane looked at the pair of eyes that seemed to rush up and slice him up at any time, he would feel that a knife was placed under his neck and his throat was being cut. However, Zorn did not feel anything about it, although he had only received the lowest level of education on Galastar. However, an interstellar empire that had stepped into the universe for thousands of years already had a knowledge reserve that surpassed the current human civilization on Earth. He was now very happy to be able to stand on the shoulders of giants and exchange knowledge with Ishihara.
"It's really amazing!"
"How did you do it?”
Zorn stood on Ishihara's leg and gently touched Ishihara's arm that was specially designed for demonstration. His originally soft skin began to grow fine and hard scales, and his palm slowly began to transform into a fin. Under Ishihara's deliberate delay in the transformation process, his right hand, which could have been used to grab and hold, slowly turned into a thin long knife. This made Kane even more nervous.
" I'm not too sure about the specific principles. I haven't done any research on my body after the modification surgery, but I can confirm that all these changes are due to Holme metal. After all, before the surgery, I didn't have such an ability.”
Ishihara's expression was a little sorrowful. He did not participate in the enhancement surgery for the sake of his strength. He only felt that this surgery was not very reliable and was too dangerous. Therefore, in order to not let others bear the risk and to warn his colleagues, he participated in the surgery.
The success of the operation was beyond his expectations. He was supposed to die on the operating table, but not only did he not die, but he also obtained a powerful ability that far exceeded that of ordinary people. It was also because of this powerful ability that he left the Development Bureau and did not dare to contact his girlfriend for several years.
"Fortune is the source of misfortune, misfortune is the source of fortune…"
He opened his mouth and read out this sentence.
"What?"
Zorn asked with some doubt. Because this sentence was said in Chinese, he did not understand it.
"Ah, it's nothing. It's a proverb from another country. It means that good things may lead to bad results, and bad things may also lead to good results.”
Ishihara explained with a smile.
"You Earthlings are really strange. You are clearly the same human, but you have so many languages. I really don't understand what you are thinking. Isn't the existence of language more convenient for communication?”
Kane interjected from the side. He had spent a lot of effort to learn the language of Earth, so he couldn't help but have some lingering thoughts about it.
Ishihara didn't know how to answer. He could only shake his head with a helpless smile.
" I don't know why humans have developed so many languages. Perhaps, it's really like what the myths say. God pushed the Tower of Babel so that people couldn't understand each other's language. Then, they couldn't understand each other and killed each other…"
While they were chatting, Yang Cheng, who had finished testing the new equipment, pushed open the door and walked out.
" Mr. Ishihara, can you tell me about yourself? I'm very curious as to why you left the Space Development Agency. Did something happen?”
As soon as he sat down, Yang Cheng asked Ishihara. The information he got from Ezaki was incomplete, and he was very curious about what happened after the enhancement surgery.
Hearing Yang Cheng's question, Ishihara seemed to hesitate, but after thinking for a moment, he still spoke.
"Back then, I wasn't the only one who signed up for the Enhanced Surgery.”
"The success of Dr. Holme's bone replacement surgery has made many people want to use this magical metal to strengthen their bodies. There are many people who have signed up, and more than ten of the people I know have submitted applications.”
" However, that's because they didn't know that this time, they weren't just replacing a certain part of their body. They were replacing all the bones with Holme metal. The risk of the surgery made many people shrink back. In the end, only Akai Masahiko and I were left.”
"Masahiko Akai? Who is that?"
Yang Cheng asked after hearing an unfamiliar name.
" He's the same as me. We're both doing biological research at the Space Development Bureau. However, because we're not in the same laboratory, we weren't very familiar with each other before.”
Ishihara said to Yang Cheng.
" He is an extreme supremacist of technology. He believes that science and technology are the main reason for the prosperity of human civilization, and that all ethics and morality should not be the reason or excuse to restrict its development.”
" Such thoughts made him not feel afraid when he faced the possible risks of the surgery. He even told me that the Space Development Agency finally had the utopia he imagined. Technology can only be perfected through continuous experimentation. To him, humans are just a kind of regenerative resource, and he himself is no exception.”
"What a terrifying person!"
Kaien couldn't help but say. Although countless lives had been lost in the war against the Galasians, no matter how ruthless the Galasians were, they didn't treat the lives of others as their own. To them, their own lives were naturally incomparably precious. Now that they heard that there were creatures in this world that didn't take them seriously, they also felt a chill down their spines.
"Yes, he is a very terrifying person.”
Ishihara nodded in agreement, acknowledging Kane's statement.
"Although the United Nations has banned all forms of human embryo cloning, Akai is still secretly experimenting with human cloning. Moreover, he even added those cosmic cells into his own cells in an attempt to cultivate a more perfect new human.”
"His illegal human cloning experiment was discovered in the end. After being investigated by the Development Bureau, he lost the qualification to participate in the enhancement surgery. In the end, I was the only one left.”
" Because of the Development Bureau's investigation of Akai, Dr. Holme felt morally guilty for using Holme metal to strengthen his body. He believed that he was no different from a lunatic like Akai. Therefore, after my strengthening surgery, he directly destroyed all the manufacturing methods of Holme metal and submitted his resignation application, preparing to leave the Development Bureau.”
" However, this made Akai extremely furious. He believed that Dr. Holme's actions were to prevent humans from evolving, but the manufacturing materials had already been destroyed. Without these materials, he would not be able to create Holme alloy again, so he set his target on me.”
Ishihara sighed helplessly.
" Dr. Holme once apologized to me, saying that the enhancement surgery was the biggest mistake of his life. He also begged me not to let those people with ulterior motives study my body to prevent them from replicating Holme metal again. Otherwise, it would be a disaster for mankind.”
" So, in order to prevent Akai from obtaining the production method of Holme metal, and to ensure my own safety, I left the Development Bureau.”
"That's not right. Didn't you say that Akai was under investigation at that time? He shouldn't be a threat to you, right?”
Yang Cheng frowned and asked.
Ishihara only shook his head.
" Although Akai was involved in the cloning investigation, he wasn't alone. His family left him a lot of wealth, and the advanced technology he built was the tool he used to realize his technological utopia. With the support of advanced technology, the investigation ended in vain. In order to protect myself, I had no choice but to leave.”
