For humanity, burn the stars.

Navigation Log - Day 5

Coordinates: 3 light-years outside the federal border post.

Status: The pulse thruster is operating normally, and the resource consumption rate is within expectations.

Note: Mr. Qin Heling adapted well and did not experience dizziness. The list of medicines in the medical cabin has been completed.

-----------------

On the fifth day of its journey, Noah's Ark had already traversed the hyperspace channel and left the Sisma Union system.

Unable to continue using the convenient channel jump, they had to rely on pulse thrusters to reach their destination.

Fortunately, this pulse thruster is indeed quite reliable, far superior to conventional thrusters.

The vector nozzles propelled them forward rapidly, and in about a month they would reach the edge of Felix's territory.

Today, the second day after leaving the territory of the Federation, Qin Heling arrived at the central cabin of the spaceship.

The hatch was guarded by two armed robots, which checked it at all times with the highest standards to ensure that no problems would occur.

Upon entering the room, Qin Heling looked at the cloning incubation chamber in front of her and walked over with a calm expression.

Rapid culture methods using time-series gene combinations can edit developmental genes, thereby increasing the speed of cell division and organ maturation.

The clone's body can be formed in a fairly short time.

Of course, this has negative effects.

The faster the development of the immune system and brain, the less complete the development of the brain, and the more unstable the psychology may be.

At the same time, the lifespan will be greatly reduced as telomeres shorten, making it impossible to use for a long time.

Therefore, out of humanitarian considerations, the Federation of Humanities imposed restrictions on this.

In other words, the cloning process can be completed within two and a half years at the earliest.

In this way, the intelligence and psychology of cloned people will be more normal, and the aftereffects will be almost negligible.

In the vastness of the universe, two and a half years is but a tiny fraction of a time.

However, this was unacceptable to Qin Heling.

Therefore, after leaving the federal control area, Qin Heling immediately accessed the control panel to remove the restrictions.

— You can't do this in front of people, or they might get deported.

A screen popped up asking for a key; entering it incorrectly twice would lock all the incubation chambers.

However, Qin Heling did not hesitate at all and entered the key.

In the game, there is a side quest to retrieve a former human cloning pod and find a way to unlock it to recover lost genes from the locked pod.

This key will definitely work for the same type of culture chamber.

As expected, the restriction was successfully lifted.

After letting out a sigh of relief, Qin Heling immediately made the settings.

Under his operation, all one hundred cloning devices were put into use.

Qin Heling watched as the incubation chamber operated normally and nodded slightly in satisfaction.

He planned to produce 80 clones as quickly as possible, and then cultivate the remaining 20 at a normal pace.

Most of the spaceship has automated modules, but it still needs manpower.

The next steps, exploring new planets and mining resources to establish bases, are urgent and require manpower.

Qin Heling did not want this process to be delayed due to the time required for cloning.

These 80 clones may have almost no intelligence and very short lifespans, but being physically healthy is enough.

Although it might be somewhat inhumane, he had no time to discuss that issue at the moment.

Or rather, a puppet that has absolutely no intelligence is easier to deal with because it doesn't require consideration of humanity.

And then, all you have to do is wait quietly.

About three weeks later, the first batch of 80 clones will arrive on the spaceship.

During this period, he needs to conduct a study to ensure that these clones can perform tasks perfectly.

-----------------

On the 23rd day of the voyage, Noah's Ark encountered no major mishaps and steadily approached its destination.

On this very day, Qin Heling began manufacturing the mother bed for the first time.

He began to project a blueprint into the project and started construction.

Adela had just finished inspecting the hydroponic container and was about to report to Qin Heling when she stumbled upon this scene.

She looked at the machine, which was starting to work for the first time, with some curiosity, and asked softly:

"Captain, what are you producing?"

Qin Heling smiled at her but did not answer immediately.

Soon, a window on the mother bed opened, and an extremely small chip was ejected.

Qin Heling held the chip-like object in his hand and smiled at Adela, saying:

"This is the seed of humanity on Earth. Would you like to witness it with your own eyes?"

"We can just implant this under the skin at the back of the neck using a repair capsule, and it can be removed at any time."

During this period, besides planning for the future, Qin Heling did most of his research on physical copies of the Seed Fire System.

With the help of the system's own data, he adjusted the unanalyzable black box technology and produced such a copy.

The resulting copies can be used to retrieve information from the database with his approval, or as part of his tasks.

At the same time, the implantation will also allow Qin Heling to receive the user's information.

This is something we have to do in order to prepare for the next action.

By simply implanting the copy into the soon-to-be-completed clone, they can easily complete their mission.

Adela took the component, hesitated at first, but quickly nodded.

As a medical researcher, although she has never had an implant performed on herself, she has seen quite a few.

Minor modifications to similar assistive functions are commonplace in the Federation, and she was indeed curious to see what she would see.

Adela took the chip and turned to walk towards the repair bay.

Qin Heling then produced many more copies and brought those chips to the incubation chamber.

At this moment, the incubation chamber is operating at high speed, and the bodies of 80 humans are clearly visible.

About a day later, these clones will be completed and truly born.

Fortunately, the copy of the Seed Fire system, after experimentation, finally made it to this day.

Qin Heling carefully placed the components one by one, watching them being implanted into the clone's body, and nodded in satisfaction.

Suddenly, one of the incubation chambers found that the clone had been successfully cultured.

Qin Heling was slightly surprised, not expecting that it would be such a coincidence that one of them had just completed the cultivation.

He gently pressed a button, and the humanoid figure in the incubation chamber was transferred and, after a series of cleaning, drying, and dressing processes, placed into the crew cabin.

Qin Heling looked at the clone lying in the cabin with some anticipation through the monitor.

He was prepared to witness the clones open their eyes and test the effectiveness of the ignition system's replicas.

However, something unexpected happened to Qin Heling.

The eyes that opened did not show the expected dullness or confusion, but rather an unparalleled anticipation.

The clone suddenly jumped up from the cabin and groped its body up and down.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like the result of incomplete brain development after rapid cloning...

Just as Qin Heling was pondering, the clone suddenly uttered a sentence in fluent and clear Chinese:

"Wow, this game is so realistic!"
