Regarding the problem of the small number of births among the doomsday sects, Lulincheng and the group of scientists who suffered from severe paranoia had their own method.
That is cloning, using this imperfect biotechnology to create enough human embryos to make up for the doomsday sect's shortage of manpower.
As for the technical and ethical issues contained in it, they were selectively ignored by Lu Lincheng and others. After all, they believed that it was for the continuation of mankind, and any small ethical issue could be completely ignored.
It was under the guidance of this theory that the doomsday faction obtained some of Herzog's research results at Black Swan Port, including the genetic samples and somatic cells of those children.
They relied on a special, powerful substance extracted from dragon bone marrow to catalyze the children's somatic cells, causing them to degenerate into their original state called totipotent stem cells. In this way, they obtained the first batch of clones.
Among them is a girl named Renata who no longer has an identity.
Ender stood next to Lu Mingfei, explaining to him the information he had just obtained from the doomsday sect's database. In front of them was Renata's clone, or should it be called Renata No. 2.
"Um, then Dad didn't do anything very bad, right?" Lu Mingfei looked at the cloned girl in front of him and asked with some anxiety: "For example, vivisection or something..."
"That's not what I saw." Ender knocked Lu Mingfei's head: "The doomsday sect is relatively restrained, otherwise they wouldn't be alive today."
After all, the doomsday faction still has some ideals and beliefs, at least for the continuation of mankind, so they are quite restrained in some experiments. Seeing Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief, Ander added:
"But they are very good at developing aphrodisiac drugs. Maybe the people here are too cold."
"That's not the kind of thing I want to know!" Lu Mingfei complained in a somewhat broken voice. Ander could always discover the different side of the doomsday style of painting, but Lu Mingfei definitely didn't want to know these things.
"What's the point? Don't you know how much of the doomsday sect's funds come from selling aphrodisiacs?" Ender shrugged nonchalantly. In order to build this shelter, the doomsday sect guys emptied their wealth.
So much so that he could only maintain cash flow by selling hellhounds and aphrodisiacs.
Of course, the doomsday sect’s flagship products are more than this, but the money earned from selling medicines is indeed quite large.
Renata looked at the two people quarreling with each other in front of her without knowing why. Like her original self, she was considered a marginal role in the doomsday sect's shelter. Her long-term consumption of chlorella and mealworms caused her hair to become flabby.
It is dull and messy like weeds covering the top of the head, with a sallow complexion and a tendency to be malnourished.
Lu Mingfei knelt down. The girl in front of him looked only twelve or thirteen years old, even younger than Zero. But according to Ander, this child was already fifteen years old.
"Why didn't you leave?" Lu Mingfei asked in English. The common language among the doomsday sects was English, and due to the influence of Lulin City, most people would choose Chinese as their second language.
Renata lowered her head. She was a little confused. Today was originally a rest day. As soon as Renata opened her eyes and slept in the dormitory, she found that everyone had disappeared. When she walked out of the dormitory, she saw a yellow head.
The copper-colored dragon fell from the sky and turned into a man.
Out of curiosity, she secretly followed her. Like the original, Renata No. 2 did not like this cage-like shelter. Back then, there was still meat to eat in Black Swan Port, while the doomsday sects could only eat Green Lake.
Lake-like chlorella extract and mealworm compressed biscuits as hard as turning your head.
Only the best could eat meat, but it was obvious that Renata was not that kind of child.
So she stared into Lu Mingfei's eyes in front of her and asked curiously: "Where are you going?"
"Let's go and listen to a story. Do you like listening to a story?" Ander took out a candy and put it in Renata's hand. A thought suddenly came to his mind: "If you like it, I can take you with me."
Renata looked at the colorful candy wrappers in her hand. The food of the Doomsday Pie was rationed. The nutrients that each person needed every day were planned in a very rational way, and then turned into special additives in the chlorella soup.
Therefore, Renata No. 2 has never seen anything as fancy as the candy in her hand since she was born. Lu Mingfei watched Renata carefully peel off the candy wrapper and looked at Ander with some confusion.
"Are the doomsday sects so poor?" Lu Mingfei asked puzzled, and Ander shrugged: "She is an experimental subject, an experimental subject to ensure that humans can survive in this environment for a long time."
"Living is a very simple thing. With just a few nutrients, humans can live like weeds."
Ender lamented that being able to live and living well are never the same concept. For the doomsday rationalists, drinking chlorella soup and eating mealworms has never been a difficult option, but for Renata No. 2, this
For children who have been born here since childhood, it is a bit too cruel.
Renata felt the sweetness in her mouth and looked at the man next to her who was transformed from a giant dragon. Dragons are bad, the doomsday teacher had always told her so, but to Renata, Ender was obviously a good person.
dragon.
So she nodded and stretched out her hand. Lu Mingfei took the girl and said to Ander: "Uncle De, do you want to take her with you?"
"Just think of it as a small gift." Ander stretched out his hand and put a little bit on Renata's head. The dry and yellow hair became shiny and tied into a bunch on the back of her head: "And I'm very curious, that guy didn't even look for it.
Live this child."
With that said, Ender led the two of them towards the distance, where was the final temple of the doomsday sect and where Zero was sealed.
During the lengthy descent of the elevator, Renata's body trembled slightly as she approached Lu Mingfei's body, while Ander took protective clothing and a gas mask from the edge of the elevator.
"I'm too lazy to protect you anymore, so you'd better put this thing on quickly. This will make you feel better." As he said, Ander threw the protective clothing to the two of them. While the two were in a hurry, he leaned against the elevator.
The wall is full of energy.
"Perhaps it should be more ceremonial, but that would be too troublesome." Ender looked at the two people wearing protective suits and stared at Lu Mingfei's eyes behind the gas mask: "Maybe you won't be
is you."
"Uncle De, can you please be gentle?" Lu Mingfei helped Renata put on the mask and then said.
"What's the point?" Ander was confused by Lu Mingfei's jumping thoughts, but Lu Mingfei raised his head and took a deep breath, explaining: "I said, if I become the Black King
, can you be gentle when you kill me?"
"There will be a better way." Ander turned his head and no longer looked into Lu Mingfei's eyes: "Believe me..."
