Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 527 Tumor Cells
"What's the matter, are you not interested in me?" Seeing that Ke Lan moved his body back as far as possible, and his whole body was almost pressed against the back of the chair, Dr. Renee's eyes showed a trace of doubt, " Do you like younger women? Of course, for the sake of research, I can also find other women to mate with you instead. You can tell me your preferences and requirements, and I will try my best to find a partner that satisfies you... ..."

She paused, and then said: "Of course, in order to ensure that the research process will not deviate from the expected track, I need to monitor the whole process when you are having reproductive behavior with the selected experimental samples. In addition..."

"I refuse!" Before Dr. Renee finished speaking, Ke Lan stopped drinking, "Do you know what you are talking about? Are you drunk, or... taking drugs, Lei Dr. Ni?"

"If you are questioning my mental state, then I can assure you that I am in a very sober state. I rarely drink alcoholic beverages, and I have no symptoms of addiction to psychotropic drugs-of course, If you feel the need for some alcohol to spice things up, I can find you the best alcoholic drink on the Ark."

"No, what I mean is... don't you know that this type of experiment violates human ethics?"

"With the continuous development of science and technology, the contradiction between it and human ethics has been deepening." Dr. Renee said calmly, "Before 1000 years, human society generally believed that gene editing technology, artificial womb technology and "De-parenting" public breeding facilities is against human ethics, but if we don't put these technologies into practical application, human beings may have already become extinct in the process of interstellar drifting."

"Before 100 years." She went on to say, "Body modification technology and whole-body cyborgization were not accepted by the mainstream thinking, but if there is no modification technology to provide the front line with a large number of modified soldiers with capabilities far beyond ordinary soldiers, Then, during the process of the Ark's landing on Alpha Planet, the number of soldiers who died of indigenous creatures will be more than ten times the current number."

Ke Lan and Dr. Renee looked at each other... He had to admit that the other party was right... When a race is facing the fate of extinction, the so-called ethics and morality are just empty words.

In a sense, these rules and regulations in thinking have become the shackles restricting the development of science and technology.

However, without these "shackles", he tried to imagine such a society—it might be a social structure close to the bee colony model, and the meaning of each individual's survival is only for the continuation of the race. Everyone should not have emotions, hobbies, entertainment or any other "meaningless" things, and the bottom "worker bees" don't even need to have the ability to think.

The time of the day is precisely divided into eating, working, excreting and resting. Everyone performs their own duties, and the whole society is in order, just like a machine that operates precisely and almost never breaks down.

But if it really becomes like that, people may not be called people anymore, "they" are just gears that are constantly turning inside this machine, and when these gears are worn out and rusted, they will be replaced by "they" just now. Replaced by the new gears produced, as a "person" living in the hive society, his life will come to an end.

Just by imagining it, Ke Lan felt indescribable depression, despair...and madness.

Living in such a world, is "living" meaningful to the individual?
Many gregarious creatures on the earth adopt this social model, but when this social model is applied to intelligent humans, Ke Lan suddenly feels how terrible this matter is.

He forgot which book he had read such a sentence: "Death is not terrible, what is terrible is losing the meaning of living."

"Mr. Ke Lan, you have been to the sick village...I believe that you should already know what the real purpose of the sick village is." Dr. Renee continued, "To be honest, there is one more thing I can tell You, currently more than 50% of the funds of the biomedical department of the research institute are invested in the human cloning project, if it goes well, within [-] years, the clone soldiers will replace all the natural people in the army."

"Okay, stop talking..." Ke Lan stood up, "Please go out."

"I can understand that this means rejection?" Dr. Renee's tone still didn't change much.

"can."

"That's fine, I can take a step back, all I need is a sample of your rice green night."

"It's absolutely impossible." Ke Lan flatly refused, "If you really have the ability, at worst, you can use my blood sample to create human clones."

"This is a good proposal, but unfortunately, I received the news from the headquarters half an hour ago that this plan has failed. Otherwise, I would not have come to you." Dr. Renee said.

"You guys really have this plan? Fail...why did you fail? Is the cloned 'I' not possessing those special features at all?" ability, then he should pay more attention, maybe at some point, someone around him will be replaced by a clone...

He couldn't help but think of the weird piece of meat that he saw in the glacier ruins that could perfectly replicate the human form—but at least that thing would only appear in the ruins of the Alpha civilization, and the headquarters of the research institute is right behind this ark. superior.

If there is any person or organization on the Ark that Ke Lan is unwilling to be an enemy of, then the undead crew will definitely be ranked first, and they will be ranked second, and there is only this research institute with per capita lunatics and neuropathy.

"No, it cannot be cloned." Dr. Renee shook her head, "We have tried at least [-] different human genes, including some defective genes, but even these incomplete defective genes can at least be cloned A well-formed human embryo is produced, but the cells bred from the genes extracted from your blood do not have the ability to self-differentiate at all... It will only continue to divide and proliferate like a malignant tumor, and finally become a human embryo. A lump of irregular flesh... The researchers tried to interrupt the supply of nutrients, and this huge 'tumor' quickly rotted and died."

Following Dr. Renee's narration, Ke Lan's brows gradually tightened—according to her description, the cells cloned from her own blood... aren't they cancer cells?
Is it because his body has absorbed too much radiation, resulting in mutations in his genes?

But if the gene has really mutated, then my body will definitely undergo extremely obvious changes now—in any case, at least I still maintain my original appearance, instead of turning into a wildly growing tumor.

Not to mention tumors, Ke Lan's body surface and body did not even have the tissue hyperplasia that is common in radiation patients.In order to verify this, his body has already been checked by that guy Ivan. In Maozi's original words, that is, "To me, your body is more familiar than my girlfriend's body." , even where the mole on your butt is, I can be accurate to within millimeters..."

As for the internal examination, for the sake of confidentiality, they even purchased a whole family of medical examination equipment, including CR, CT, and MRI, on the grounds of "considering the health of the hunting group employees". Ke Lan had never done such a detailed inspection, but even so, he still didn't find any abnormalities.

If there is anything abnormal, it is probably only necessary to pull out the needle when drawing blood, and the needle hole on the arm will heal extremely quickly.After picking off the blood scab that was not much bigger than a grain of sand, not even a trace was left.

"It is for this reason that I am more interested in your body." Dr. Renee said, looking at Ke Lan.

Ke Lan always felt that the way she looked at him was not like looking at a person, but like looking at a very special and rare precious sample...

wait!Ke Lan was shocked suddenly. He realized that it seemed that he had missed some important things.

The reason why Dr. Renee and the research institute did not take compulsory measures against this "rare research object" was not because he was the person in charge of the S-019 ruins, but because the undead crew would issue a ban on them—— Not to mention tying yourself to the dissection table, even examinations and research beyond the scope of routine physical examinations are not allowed. From this point of view alone, the information they can collect may not be in the hands of Ivan. many.

Inside the research institute, there are probably quite a few people who, at the cost of a few Taser shots, want to cut a piece of flesh off their body with a scalpel.

He couldn't help but think of Tang Seng in the four famous novels "Journey to the West"... Although those goblins who wanted to eat Tang Seng's meat, nine out of ten were strangled to death by the golden cudgel.

It is also thanks to the existence of this ban of the Undead Crew Association, otherwise, with the style of the research institute, let alone the person in charge of the relics, even if I am a member of the United Parliamentary Group, I probably cannot escape their clutches.

Unless he becomes an official member of the Undead Crew Club, these lunatics are probably thinking about their own ideas all the time... This time they used seduction, and it is unknown what method they will use next time .

But what makes Ke Lan extremely puzzled is why the undead crew members forbid the research institute to use themselves as research objects?

Why is that?
The members of the Undead Crew Club must have read these reports of the Institute... No matter from which angle, it is difficult for me to match the three words "normal people". Why would they give up such an excellent project? What about "chance"?Is it just because he is the successor chosen by "Pope" Chiron?
No, it's simply not possible!

Even Chiron himself will be expelled from the Undead Crew Club, let alone a "reserve player" like himself. If he really has such great research value, Ke Lan has no doubt that they will immediately abolish him Instead, he sent himself into the research institute—as a researchee.

Secular ethics cannot restrain the lunatics of the research institute, and it is even more empty words for the members of the Undead Crew Club. This can be seen from their support for the "sick village" - those sick miners , are actually specially selected experimental products. Not only can they not get any treatment, but they are also forced to endure greater pain...

Ke Lan even suspects that even the former member of the Undead Crew Club, the actual controller of the sick village, and the "Pope" Chiron is one of these experiments.

Although the people of the Undead Crew are not as crazy as the Prophet, they can also do everything for the survival of mankind.

Ke Lan couldn't help feeling a chill down his spine.

Why, why would they let themselves go?

Are you planning to squeeze out your own use value first, and then attack yourself?Not right... If this is the case, this information should be kept strictly confidential. If Dr. Renee dared to tell herself these things, it means that the Undead Crew has no intention of hiding it. Since everyone has made things clear, as long as Ke Lan is not a disabled person with a defective IQ, so he should be aware of the problem.

For some reason, Ke Lan suddenly had a bold hypothesis in his heart: Could it be that the undead crew would not let the people of the research institute include themselves in the list of research objects, because they had already known the secrets about themselves ?

Because they knew those things from the beginning, so the actions of the research institute are completely superfluous?
Will I go to the undead crew for a showdown now and tell them "I can read the language of the Alpha civilization", "I absorbed the crystal found in Leviathan", "I have the ability to freeze time and space", They will only show a calm expression, telling themselves: "We already know this."

Maybe not all secrets, but at least some of them, they must know.

In this way, everything seems to make sense...

There is only one point of contradiction left - the "prophet" of the heretical sect.

Judging from the "treatment" that Ke Lan himself enjoyed, the undead crew members seemed to be kind to "special individuals" like them. He took any coercive means, and even gave himself great freedom and power-in this case, why did the "prophet" betray the Ark?

Is it because of his own reasons, or something else?
