Although all current conclusions are Xiao Lou's speculations, his teammates all know that there is a high possibility that the speculations will be true.
The time clues match up perfectly.
The Morse code left by Shao Qingge's father and the company's investment project plan found by Shao Qingge clearly indicate that the Noah's Ark project has been launched twice.
The first time was in stardate 2975, which was consistent with Xiao Lou's birth date, but all the babies died due to the culture medium, and the plan was terminated. The second time was in stardate 2980. Although the clone project was successful this time
, but something serious went wrong along the way, resulting in all the insiders being silenced.
In the same year, the captain of the Dark Night starship was captured and returned to the capital planet, and humans discovered alien Zerg for the first time.
The Zerg may seem weak, but they have extremely strong evolutionary and reproductive capabilities. The rapid reproduction of the carpet gave scientists new inspiration. They allowed human-replicated cells to be fused with Zerg genes and grow rapidly, even within a year.
When they grow up to five years old, this can also explain why the three Xiaolou in the palace are the same age.
Ye Qi couldn't believe such a crazy thing. He couldn't help but look at Xiao Lou and said in a trembling voice: "Are they studying humans as plants? They actually integrated genes from other species into human cells?! This is
Isn’t it just like cultivating genetically modified vegetables and hybrid fruits?”
Xiao Lou said solemnly: "There are many examples of plant hybridization, such as the hybridization of tangerine and wild pomelo to produce oranges, and the hybridization of oranges and citrons to produce lemons... But these plants have no consciousness and no thoughts, and research on new species will not help them.
The original species will cause harm. However, studying humans themselves is too much and goes beyond the scope of scientific ethics! No one is sure whether the fusion of Zerg genes and human genes will cause mutations, or even genetic diseases that are difficult to treat!
"
Human natural science has been developing for so many years, and gene sequencing has been carried out for a long time, but why do scientists dare not modify and fuse human genes? Is it because they don’t have the ability?
No, it's just that they don't dare to be this eternal sinner.
Many family hereditary diseases come from genes. If you modify genes at will, no one knows what the consequences will be. What if the person whose genes have been modified combines with other humans and the offspring born has serious genetic diseases? This defect
Once genes enter human society, they may even have a devastating impact on mankind!
What's more, is it to fuse the genes of alien races into human bodies?
Once this precedent is set, will future scientists be able to edit the genes of birds and beasts into human cells at will and "create" all kinds of weird replicas? What is the "experimental product" produced in this way?
What? A human-bird fusion? A human-cat fusion? Or even a human-pig fusion?
The reason why nature has "reproductive isolation" and different species cannot reproduce is to preserve the uniqueness of each species. Once this natural law is broken, humans will no longer be human.
Thinking that there might be Zerg genes in his body, Xiao Lou felt chills all over his body. He closed his eyes, forced himself to calm down, looked back at Yu Hanjiang and said, "I guess, after they captured the captain,
They found that the captain had excellent climbing and jumping abilities and could heal himself after being injured. They thought it would be great if all humans had this ability, so they took the captain's genes for research."
Yu Hanjiang nodded in agreement: "Well, after all, in their eyes, the captain is similar to a 'Superman'. Taking his genes for research also echoes the style of those mad scientists."
Xiao Loudao: "So, I probably also have Zerg genes in my body?"
Yu Hanjiang gently pressed his shoulders and said in a gentle voice: "Don't mind this, you are who you are. Your identity, experience, and even the genes in this secret room are all set by the gatekeepers. We will eventually leave this world.
.”
Xiao Lou smiled and said: "I understand. I just want to try to see if I can inherit some of the outstanding abilities of the Zerg if I have Zerg genes?" He walked up to Chu Huaying and said: "Huaying, let me borrow your dagger."
Chu Huaying didn't know what he was going to do, so she handed him the dagger.
Xiao Lou picked up the dagger, pointed it at his left arm, and cut it without hesitation, with a clean and neat movement!
Yu Hanjiang's expression changed, and he immediately stepped forward and grabbed his wrist: "What are you doing?"
Xiao Lou observed the blood marks on his arm. The moment the dagger cut his arm, he clearly felt the pain. A line of blood beads flowed along the wound to the ground, showing no signs of healing at all.
Only then did Yu Hanjiang realize - he actually used this method to test his own healing ability?
Seeing him cutting himself, Yu Hanjiang's heart ached slightly, and he glanced at Shao Qingge: "Help."
Shao Qingge walked over with a chuckle and said to Xiao Lou: "Obviously, you have not inherited the Zerg's healing ability, so you still have to rely on me." He gently placed his fingers on Xiao Lou's wound.
Since the wound is very shallow, it is easy for Ace of Chong to treat this kind of wound. The scratches on Xiao Lou’s arm healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the skin that grew out was smooth and delicate, with no scars visible at all.
Xiao Lou looked at the healed wound and thought thoughtfully: "Is it because the captain did not have the evolutionary level enough to possess the ability of the Zerg to heal wounds? Or is it that the Zerg gene mutated after merging with humans, and humans did not inherit this ability?
Ability?"
Chu Huaying frowned and said: "Judging from what Uncle Qin said, the former captain can evolve into a Zerg and negotiate with the Zerg Queen. His level should be not low...perhaps it is the second case. Humans cannot inherit this ability.
.”
Yu Hanjiang whispered: "There is another situation."
Xiao Lou turned back to look at him.
Yu Hanjiang's eyes were gentle and he said word by word: "You are not a clone."
Xiao Lou: "..."
This sentence made the teammates stunned, because the conclusion that Xiao Lou was a clone was just deduced not long ago, but now Yu Hanjiang denies this reasoning?
Of course, there have been many instances where reasoning went awry in previous secret rooms.
They speculated that the key reason why Xiao Lou was a clone was that Xiao Lou did not attend the prince's engagement party or the key birthday party. Instead, he was kept hidden in the twin wombs by His Majesty...
But these are not based on actual achievements. Only His Majesty knows whether Xiao Lou is a clone.
Maybe, Princess Xiao Rou also knows something?
Thinking of this, Xiao Lou said: "Think about the next plan. Should I go back to the Blue Planet to find my sister?"
At that time, they temporarily boarded Chu Huaying's starship and rushed to Hilt's no-man's land. First, they wanted to remind Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci of their lost memories; second, they also wanted to find the whereabouts of Liu Qiao and others along the way.
Now that the first goal has been achieved, Liu Qiao and the others are still missing.
Yu Hanjiang said: "The Blue Planet is a planet inhabited by humans. Since your sister married there, maybe Liu Qiao and the others are also on that planet... Anyway, we have nowhere else to go now, so let's go back to the Blue Planet.
"
No one had objections to this decision.
However, Chu Huaying is on the wanted blacklist of all countries in the Federation and cannot directly enter the Blue Planet's space station without an ID card; while Xiao Lou, Yu Hanjiang, Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci all escaped from the capital planet secretly and did not apply at all.
There is no way to enter this planet with a high-sounding pass.
Fortunately, there are no card restrictions here, and there are many ways to do it.
Xiao Lou suggested: "Mr. Shao and Ye Qi go to the Blue Planet, and then use Peach Blossom Spring to transport us."
Chu Huaying said: "I will use the starship to send you to the space station. I will not go with you. It is better to stay on the starship. In this way, I can provide you with transportation at any time wherever you want to go, and everyone can move easily.
More convenient.”
She is now the leader of the star thieves. It is really inconvenient to run to the blue planet. If she is caught, it will be more dangerous. It is better to stay freely on the starship and continue to be a star thieves.
Xiao Lou agreed to her suggestion: "Okay, you have to pay attention to safety."
Chu Huaying nodded, walked to the control console and pressed a few buttons. The Dark Night starship slid across the night sky like a meteor, and soon left Hilt's uninhabited land and took a shortcut to the blue planet.
**
After several hours of sailing, an aqua blue planet appeared in everyone's sight.
Xiao Lou turned on the navigation positioning, pointed to the blue planet and said: "This is the human settlement in the Aquarius Star Territory. There is only one country on this planet called the Azure Empire, and the relationship with the Luoke Empire has always been very good. For twenty years
My sister married the prince of this country before, and now she is the princess."
Ye Qi suddenly asked curiously: "How much older is your sister than you?"
Xiao Lou had a very vague impression of this sister. After thinking about it, he said: "When I was 5 years old, she should have been married at 20 years old. She was 15 years older than me."
Ye Qi scratched his head: "It's strange, your majesty and the queen gave birth to Princess Xiaorou, and they didn't have any children for the next 15 years?"
Xiao Lou was slightly startled when he heard this, and then said: "I also have a brother who is one year older than me. Unfortunately, he died in infancy. Your Majesty said that this brother was poisoned."
Ye Qi murmured: "That is to say, after Your Majesty and the Queen gave birth to Princess Xiao Rou, it took almost 13 years before your King brother was born. Then, the eldest prince was poisoned by an assassin, and then 1
Will I give birth to you again this year?"
The more my teammates listened, the more strange they felt.
Under normal circumstances, if a couple has a harmonious relationship, the interval between children is mostly controlled at 2 to 3 years. If a woman gives birth naturally, it is also common for the two children to be 1 year apart. Today's reproductive technology should be better than in the past.
Great improvement, the risk of having a child is very small, how come your Majesty and the Queen have not given birth to an heir for 13 consecutive years?
How come the princess is 14 or 15 years older than the younger brother behind her?
Xiao Lou had not thought of this detail before, but now that Ye Qi reminded him, he also felt that something was not right about the situation. Maybe His Majesty's launch of the clone project was related to this matter? Could it be that His Majesty or the Queen had a genetic defect and all the children they gave birth to would die?
The imperial brother who was 1 year older than me did not die from an assassin's assassination, but from a genetic disease?
Perhaps, Your Majesty wants to copy the prince in order to modify the genes of future generations?
Xiao Lou gently pressed his temples. He still couldn't figure out the reason why His Majesty did this, but Xiao Rou must know something. Perhaps many mysteries can only be truly revealed after meeting this sister.

【Chapter 430, Blue Planet】
Since Chu Huaying's starship sailed much faster than ordinary interstellar passenger spacecraft, when they arrived at the blue planet, the spacecraft that Shao Qingge and Ye Qi took was still 3 hours away from the terminal.
Shao Qingge and Ye Qi have ticket purchase records. If they want to pass the security check of the space station and enter the blue planet, the security personnel can check the information of the spacecraft they are traveling on. Their early arrival at the station will definitely arouse suspicion.
Chu Huaying drove the starship to a secret corner and waited for the passenger spacecraft.
After 3 hours, everyone just took a break, had something to eat, and sorted out their thoughts.
Yu Hanjiang briefly summarized the current clues and said: "The first doubt is, who was the person who rescued Brother Jiu and Mr. Tang on the Zerg planet? Why did Brother Jiu and Mr. Tang lose this part of their memory? Second, Your Majesty opened
What was the reason for the Noah’s Ark plan and the reason why all the insiders were silenced?”
Xiao Lou added: "Thirdly, am I a clone? What on earth does Your Majesty want to do by raising so many clones in the palace? Also, who sent the invisible assassin who sneaked into the Twin Wombs to remind me on my birthday?
Yes, he said - the winner is the one who survives until the end, what does that mean?"
As long as all the doubtful points can be explained and the truth comes to light, the fundamental problem of this secret room should be solved.
As for the way to clear customs...
Ye Qi guessed: "Do we have to expose the conspiracy of the year, solve the remaining troubles of the clone plan, kill His Majesty, and support Professor Xiao to ascend to power, in order to pass the test?"
After all, Xiao Lou is a prince, and there are at least two identical copies of him in the palace.
This sensitive identity will not allow him to pass the game with the ending of "retreating from the world". Either he will be killed by other princes and become a victim of the struggle; or he will take the throne himself. It is impossible for another "Xiao Lou" to become his majesty.
, and you can still keep him alive and let him live freely.
Therefore, Ye Qi's speculation is actually very reasonable.
Xiao Lou has a noble status, but this status can also bring him danger.
Lu Jiuchuan held his forehead with a headache: "Are you going to ask us to lead troops to fight?"
Tang Ci said calmly: "Now that we have escaped from the capital planet, if we want to go back, we must prepare for the worst."
Everyone fell silent.
How to clear the secret room this time, the gatekeeper did not point out a clear way for everyone, but up to now, everyone is already riding a tiger. They must first investigate the clones clearly, and also protect Xiao Lou, who has a special identity.
Three hours passed quickly, and an interstellar passenger spacecraft appeared in Chu Huaying's starship radar monitoring area.
It was the same ship that Shao Qingge and Ye Qi were on before.
Chu Huaying looked at Shao Qingge and warned: "My starship cannot land at the space station. After you wait for the passenger spacecraft to land, you can directly teleport and fly over secretly, blending in with the passengers and passing the security check channel."
Shao Qingge nodded: "Understood."
Ye Qi joked: "Would it be strange if the passengers recognized us? Weren't the two of us kidnapped by the female star thief? Why are we here?"
Shao Qingge smiled slightly, took out a pair of sunglasses from his pocket, and put it on Ye Qi's face with his own hands: "This way no one will recognize us." When he was putting on the sunglasses, his fingertips accidentally slipped over Ye Qi's face.
On his cheek, Ye Qi felt the place where he touched it was slightly hot, and couldn't help but whispered: "I'm not a child, I wear it myself."
"Dad will wear it for you." Shao Qingge said with a smile, "When I was a kid, I even took a bath with you in my arms."
"..." Ye Qi blushed, "Shut up!"
Mr. Shao bullies Xiaoye every day, and his teammates have long been accustomed to it.
Xiao Lou came over, handed the card [Tao Yuanming] to Shao Qingge, and said: "The Peach Blossom Spring skill is cooling down and cannot be used again until 24:00 tonight. Mr. Shao, after you arrive at the Blue Empire, settle down in the hotel first. By the way,
Check the surrounding environment and make sure it’s safe, then pull us over as soon as 24:00 arrives.”
Shao Qingge took the card: "Don't worry."
The passenger spacecraft landed at the space station, and Chu Huaying drove a small battle armor to send Shao Qingge and Ye Qi to the space station. When the spacecraft stopped on the tarmac and the passengers were about to finish, Shao Qing
Ge and Ye Qicai used teleportation cards to get to the end of the queue.
The passengers behind felt a gust of wind blowing by. When they turned around, they saw two men, one tall and one short, standing in the queue wearing sunglasses. The young man in front smiled at her, revealing two cute dimples.
At the security checkpoint, the staff checked the pass information, ferry ticket and identity, and released them quickly.
Shao Qingge and Ye Qi successfully entered the Blue Empire.
Shao Qingge had already booked a hotel online before departure. He booked a luxurious presidential suite at the local five-star Ferris Wheel Hotel. It has three bedrooms and is convenient for his teammates to stay together.
Shao Qingge called a hover car and took Ye Qi to the hotel to check in.
The entire hotel is like a huge Ferris wheel, and all the rooms are suspended in the air like spheres. Shao Qingge and Ye Qi took the hotel's special elevator to the highest sphere, opened the door and entered.
The room is very spacious, fully furnished, luxuriously decorated, and the key is the extremely wide view.
Ye Qi stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and said with emotion: "In the sky room, you can see the stars through the transparent skylight on the roof. Standing in the living room, you can also see the night view of the entire city..." Shao Qingge thought he was going to praise the luxury of the room, but Ye Qi turned out to be
The conversation changed: "What should I do if I am afraid of heights?"
Shao Qingge walked to him and said helplessly: "Your ideas always find another way."
Ye Qi smiled and carefully observed the city at his feet: "It is as prosperous as the capital of the Luoke Empire, but this country has more aerial buildings, and most of the building surfaces are painted blue and white, which is very...
Refreshing and clean.”
Shao Qingge nodded: "Well, the palace should be in that direction."
He pointed at the sky in the distance.
The royal palace of the Blue Empire is also a suspended building in the air. Probably the people of this country believe that the higher you live, the more noble you are. The palace is located at the highest point of the entire city. It is definitely not that easy to sneak to the palace. If you take a flying armor,
It is estimated that he will be killed by the palace defense troops before he gets close.
Ye Qi looked at the time on the electronic clock on the wall and suggested: "It's half an hour until 24:00. How about you take a shower first?"
Shao Qingge narrowed his eyes slightly: "Are you caring about me?"
Ye Qi looked away embarrassedly and said in a low voice: "Although the wounds on your body have healed and you have changed into clean clothes, you have been fighting the Zerg for a long time just now... It will be better if you take a bath."
Shao Qingge raised the corners of his lips and asked in a low voice: "Do you want to wash it with daddy?"
Ye Qi's face turned red: "What are you talking about? I'm not a child!"
Shao Qingge came over with a half-smile and said jokingly in Ye Qi's ear: "Let's talk about it later."
Ye Qi was stunned, looking at the back of the man turning away, his heartbeat suddenly beat as fast as a drum. He touched his hot face and felt that he was not in the right mood today. It might be because he saw Shao Qingge fighting in blood again.
The picture reminded him of the blow Shao Qingge had blocked for him without hesitation at the 8 of Spades...
In fact, despite the fact that Shao Qingge always liked to tease him, in essence, Shao Qingge had always been very good to him.
He even saved him at critical moments, more than once.
Ye Qi was in a mess, so he simply turned on his optical brain and searched for the latest news on the Blue Empire to divert his attention.
Suddenly, his eyes were fixed on the headlines.
[The Princess of the Blue Empire will hold a grand charity dinner in two days?]
Ye Qi's eyes lit up. Isn't this princess Xiao Lou's sister?!
After Shao Qingge came out of the shower, it happened to be past 24 o'clock. Ye Qi hurriedly said: "Summon Professor Xiao and others quickly, I have made an important discovery!"
Tao Yuanming appeared in the room and opened the Peach Blossom Spring.
The four Xiao Lou people who had been waiting were directly pulled into the Peach Blossom Spring by Shao Qingge.
When everyone walked out of the Peach Blossom Spring, the space had transformed into the presidential suite of the Ferris Wheel Hotel that Shao Qingge had booked.
Lu Jiuchuan couldn't help but sigh: "Although these cards of Xiao Lou have no offensive power, they are really useful. Collective space teleportation, whether it is escaping or changing positions, is as convenient as opening a time and space portal."
If Xiao Lou was in the original team, maybe they could pass the Plum Blossom J Chamber of Secrets.
Thinking of his sacrificed teammates, Lu Jiuchuan's expression dimmed and he changed the subject: "After all, we escaped secretly. How can we see Xiao Rou? Isn't it appropriate to break into the palace directly?"
Ye Qi enlarged the LCD screen of the optical brain in front of everyone and said excitedly: "Look at this news! In two days, the princess will hold a charity dinner at the Burj Al Arab Hotel in the Blue Empire."
While Mr. Shao was taking a bath just now, Ye Qi checked a lot of information about the princess.
Xiao Lou came over to take a look, and couldn't help but smile on his face: "Well done Xiaoye, we can start from the charity dinner and find a way to sneak into the dinner party and meet my sister."
Xiao Rou has been doing charity over the years. She holds charity dinners every year. The wealthy businessmen in the empire also give her a lot of respect. She will donate all the money she gets from the jewelry auction to the orphanage.
Lu Jiuchuan touched his chin: "How to get in? Han Jiang and I can pretend to be security guards?"
Yu Hanjiang said: "You can refer to last time and use the [Mask] card to pretend to be a guard soldier."
Shao Qingge had just finished taking a shower. When he heard this, he couldn't help but squint his eyes: "Did you forget a card?"
Xiao Lou reacted: "The sapphire necklace drawn in the tenth level?"
Shao Qingge said: "That's right, when I drew this necklace, I thought it was quite useless. After all, we are not short of money, and it just comes in handy now. If I remember correctly, this necklace can be given as a gift to others.
Favorability."
Ye Qi's eyes lit up: "That's right! Give Xiao Rou the sapphire necklace. She will definitely like it very much. Maybe after increasing her favorability, she can stand on our side?"
Shao Qingge said: "I am a businessman from the Luoke Empire. I have always admired the princess of our empire. I heard that she held a charity dinner, so I decided to give her my treasured jewelry to her. Is this reasonable enough?"
The teammates looked at each other and thought this was a good idea.
The sapphire necklace is the S card that Mr. Shao drew when he passed the tenth level. When turned into a real object, it is absolutely worth a fortune.
If the characters in the secret room are treated as conscious and emotional NPCs, and if they meet the NPC and give them a gift to increase their favorability, maybe the NPC will really help them?
