Chapter 185 The Seventh Wallfacer

Ita opened his mouth, but as the Wallfacer had said, he didn't talk about his personal past and went straight to the technical stuff.

"Wallfacer, are you familiar with the Human Genome Project?"

"I know that in 1990, the United States led the effort, with scientists from the UK, Japan, Germany, France, China, and other countries participating. The original plan was to complete the sequencing of the complete human genome in 15 years, but the final sequencing map was completed ahead of schedule in 2003."

"You even know this?"

“He saw it, but he didn’t take it seriously. However, I wrote it down,” said the kind-hearted Luo Qing.

Ita nodded: "That saves a lot of effort. As you should know, the human genome consists of about 30 billion base pairs, distributed across 23 pairs of chromosomes. The goal of sequencing is to determine the order of these base pairs, map the human genome, and thus understand the structure, function, and relationship of genes with diseases."

In the golden age, limited by technology, it took scientists from various countries thirteen years just to sequence the human genome. Then the crisis era arrived, and humanity never focused its attention on genes again. This is the premise of the story.

Luo Qing nodded.

Ita continued, "The Angel Gene Organization can be traced back to the eighth year of the Crisis Era. There were three founders in total. Do you remember when Dr. Luo Ji was attacked by a gene missile? That happened more than a hundred years ago."

“I remember it very clearly.” Kind-hearted Luo Qing frowned. He thought this organization was a product of the Green Green Grassland era, since gene editing requires a very high level of technology, but he did not expect that it had already shown signs of existence at the beginning of the Crisis Era.

“The founders of the Angel Gene Organization are all members of ETO.” Ita sighed. “I think you are familiar with these three people. They are Mendel, Darwin, and Morgan. They are known as the three giants of trisomy biology.”

“These are the three people… I saw them in the Three-Body game.” Kind-hearted Luo Qing retrieved and reviewed the memories of her original self.

"The Angel Gene Organization's initial source of genetic technology was the genetic technology that the Trisolarans provided to ETO through sophons. The gene missile that attacked Luo Ji, the Wallfacer, was one of the results of this technology. The three of them also made many achievements in gene editing."

"In the late Qin Shi Huang era, due to dissatisfaction with the existence of the ideological imprint, a large number of ETO veterans from the Ye Wenjie and Evans era chose to leave ETO and surrender to PDC. The three of them were among the many who surrendered. But there was one thing they didn't notice: although the three of them surrendered, the gene research department they established within ETO was still influencing everyone."

The kind-hearted Luo Qing said, "This ETO gene research department is the prototype of the Angel Era organization, right?"

Ita nodded, then spread his wings again, gazing at them with rapt attention.
"At the time, I was just a junior researcher in this genetic research department, and I was also a semi-ETO. Although my heart was with humanity, the genetic technology left by those three biological predecessors really attracted me."

Kind-hearted Luo Qing nodded: "Go on."

Ita continued, "In the ninth year of the Crisis Era, you personally cleaned up the ETO organization. Because I was in a gene lab in the United States at the time, I was lucky enough to escape your pursuit. That was the third devastating blow to ETO after Ye Wenjie's arrest and the destruction of the Judgment Day."

After that, I dared not contact ETO again, so I simply broke away. Anyway, I had already obtained the Trisolarans' gene technology. With gene editing technology and the human genome sequencing map, I had the ability to manipulate human genes at will, and I could even extend the maximum human lifespan.

But I didn't do that. I wanted to hibernate. I wanted to rely on future technologies, such as more advanced computers, to sequence the genomes of other life forms on Earth, to sequence the genomes of 150 million organisms! When I first awoke, it was at the same time as the Wallfacer Hines. Unfortunately, the supercomputers 'Tianhe', 'Shanji', and 'Qianyan' at that time could not meet my needs, so I continued to hibernate.

After my second hibernation, the 550W computer appeared, which was a pleasant surprise. Using its power and with the assistance of MOSS, I completed the genome sequencing of 1.5 million species of Earth's organisms! All of this took less than a year! Now, I could finally freely use these genes to pursue my greatest ambition!

What are your goals?

With her wings spread wide and her face flushed, Ita said, "We will absorb the best biological genes from around the world to create perfect angel humans, use technological means to accelerate human evolution, and bring humanity into the angel era of genetic ascension as soon as possible!"

"Then let the Angel Humans, with their intelligence and creativity far surpassing that of ordinary humans, complete the Brain Project (Brain Enhancement Project) that the Wallfacer Hines failed to finish. Finally, let the new humans of the Angel Era build spaceships to sail into the universe, escape the solar system, and exist forever in this universe as Angel Humans. If my plan can be implemented, then I will be a Wallfacer greater than Hines!"

"Everything I did was part of the plan!"

Kind-hearted Luo Qing rubbed his temples, feeling somewhat helpless.

"This is all thanks to your revelation. Everyone is a Wallfacer, everyone needs to think more. Although I have committed many sins, I think my sins are still much lighter compared to those of Rediaz, even though he didn't have time to carry them out," Ita said.

Kind-hearted Luo Qing shook her head: "You won, you persuaded me."

He checked the time again: "You only took 2 minutes and 17 seconds."

Ita thanked Luo Qing again. "However, I'll spare you, but the United Government outside won't. The defense line made up of mutants can only hold out for half an hour at most under the attack of the space carrier and magnetic tanks."

“I know that’s why I’ve come to you. I’ve fabricated a false memory for those genetically modified warriors, such as ‘being exploited and discriminated against by the United Government,’ and other non-existent memories, such as ‘new humans are superior.’ My purpose is to provoke the United Government’s anger and attract you here.”

Thankfully, my gamble paid off. Before the electromagnetic cannons from the stellar-class warships rained down, the United Government, barely containing its rage, called for you to persuade us to surrender. The current chairperson of the United Government is a woman, and women are always soft-hearted. Everything was going according to plan, unless… Mr. Wallfacer, you wouldn't be trying to become my Wallbreaker, would you?”

Kind-hearted Luo Qing shook her head: "I'm not interested, but there's one thing you can't deny: you did kill the United Government's negotiating expert."

"They weren't killed, they're here."

Ita pulled open the heavy soundproof door behind him, revealing a group of terrified, suited negotiation experts with their mouths gagged.

Kind-hearted Luo Qing rubbed his head a second time.

All of his spiritual power was used to deduce how to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, so he was not authorized to use his spiritual sense. He really didn't know that someone was tied up here!
"Okay, even if these negotiation experts are all alive, those failed genetically modified beings are a fact, and those deformed rat-men, dog-men, and eagle-men with missing limbs are still real, right?"

“I know.” Ita fluttered his wings. “I’m prepared to atone with my death. Technological progress always comes with sacrifice. Although I’ve destroyed the lives of thousands of losers, I’ve saved countless lives—my technology can easily cure all types of cancer, and any genetically defective virus is no different from a cold to me. Of course, I’m not saying this to excuse myself. Change always involves bloodshed, and I’m willing to be the second Tan Sitong. I only hope that you can persuade the United Government to preserve this technology and continue to try to improve it, so that humanity can enter a true age of angels.”

Ita plucked a pure white feather and handed it to Luo Qing.

"Here you go, angel feather. I believe humans will be very interested in my new form, for flying is every human's dream."

At this point, Ita paused, "If you don't mind, give the Angel Humans a star-class warship and allow them to escape. I think the Golden Plains would be quite good. I am an escapist, and I know you are very powerful and a staunch victor, but humanity cannot place all its hopes on you and the three fleets. I also ask you to re-examine the relationship between escapism and the continuation of human civilization."

Ita concluded by saying, "A qualified Wallfacer's Wallfacer plan must be a plan that can be implemented under extreme circumstances such as your absence or your death. This is a consensus among many civilian Wallfacers."

"There may be more Wallfacers in the future. Please believe in them. They will definitely go further than me."

Kind-hearted Luo Qing hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping herself.

He had lost count of how many times he had been speechless with emotion.

Kind-hearted Luo Qing said, "I have reservations about your so-called 'Wallfacer Plan.' It's highly likely that you'll get shot later. Rushing into the human gene pool is an unforgivable crime, and escapism is illegal. Your so-called angel humans can hardly be defined as part of humanity anymore. In short, don't have too much hope."

"No matter what, I thank you!" Ita bowed to Luo Qing again.

But the kind-hearted Luo Qing did not accept his bow and dodged it.

"Will you execute me?" Ita blinked.

"I might end up in a quantum prison and see how the International Court of Justice tries you. Before I try you, I need to end this confrontation that shouldn't have happened."

As soon as the kind-hearted Luo Qing finished speaking, an explosion came from outside. The violent explosion pierced through the ground and shook the entire basement. There was also a crackling sound of electricity mixed in with the explosion.

The war between the united government and the mutants has begun.

"What's going on? Didn't I instruct the frontline commander not to fire?" Luo Qing frowned.
"It's possible the mutants struck first, and the United Government retaliated in self-defense. It seems the oppressive memories I fabricated for them have gone to their heads. Do these idiots really think they can defeat the space carrier?"

Kind-hearted Luo Qing vanished instantly, leaving only a single sentence echoing repeatedly in the basement:
“I understand. Ita, take the negotiation experts and all the key members of the Angel Era Gene Organization and go to the United Government to surrender.”

"I will."

After the kind-hearted Luo Qing left, Ita slumped into his chair, looking wearily at the bound negotiation experts, and muttered to himself, "Ah, this nightmare can finally be over."
