A is in StarCraft, just disembarked from the Zerg Prince spaceship.

......

After Gao Tian, ​​the research institute re-examined hundreds of alpha samples.

The head of the research institute personally supervised the operation.

Since the alphas who participated were mostly soldiers from the military, and they had regular physical examinations, it wasn't difficult to find the results of their previous physical examinations for comparison.

The massive database search quickly scanned through countless soldiers' portraits and basic information, which were then precisely filtered out.

Each screening process involves comparing the data from the previous physical examination with the data from the current physical examination side by side.

The results of their previous physical examination show that their results have indeed improved this time, but the improvement is minimal, with very few individuals showing an improvement of more than 0.1%.

Occasionally, a few individuals showed an improvement of more than 0.1%, but these were merely fleeting ripples on a calm lake, caused by the occasional breeze, nothing like the exaggerated straight line on Major General Gao Tian's medical examination results.

This slight increase is not unique to female pheromones, but rather a natural increase resulting from the combination of male and female pheromones. This subtle increase also occurs after an alpha and an omega unite.

In this respect, there is no significant difference between females and omegas.

There were some disappointments, but also some relief.

It seems that humanity's path does not lie in intermarriage with other races.

After all, no one wants to see the day when two-thirds of their compatriots are truly abandoned.

Major General Gao Tian's case is an exception.

The reason why he was able to break through the 5.7% gene limit in an instant is currently unknown.

Given that he is currently the only S-class alpha who has fertilized with a female insect, it is uncertain whether this is due to his S-class physique and the special status of the insectoid crown prince.

Although it's a bit disappointing that the female pheromone can't make the alpha gene soar, the lack of negative effects is a good thing.

The female insect pheromones are very similar to omega pheromones, so there is no difference for alphas, which is already a good thing for the human federation.

This suggests that there is indeed a possibility of humans intermarrying with the Zerg.

The test report was quickly delivered to Commander-in-Chief Qi's desk.

Commander-in-Chief Qi reviewed the data in each book and then picked up Gao Tian's medical examination report to look at it.

The data for everyone else was similar, but Gao Tian's data showed almost steep increases.

Because the Zerg Crown Prince is of a high rank?

Unlike other alphas, the female mates of these alphas also vary in level, but the improvement is not noticeably different for any of them.

If it's known that it's not due to the female insect's pheromones, then how could Gao Tian's gene level have increased so much?

Is Gao Tian's constitution different?

constitution......

Now that I think about it, Gao Xing's physique seems... to be somewhat abnormal.

Gao Xing's level wasn't very high, but he possessed the power to beat anyone he encountered, and even those who could fight him to a standstill...

By chance, just a casual glance, he noticed the markings AB on the side of the document.

It's Gao Tian's blood type.

Unlike his father, Gao Xing's blood type is A. President Qi thought expressionlessly.

At first, Commander-in-Chief Qi did not pay attention.

It's not uncommon for fathers and sons to have different blood types. There are many possibilities based on gene combinations.

Type A blood can produce AB type children, even with two different blood types. It's just unknown what blood type Gao Tian's mother has.

The idea didn't even form a complete question in his mind; it was merely a casual glance out of the corner of his eye, a vague flash of biological common sense.

But just as he shifted his attention to other data—

The next second: "Buzz—Buzz—Buzz—"

The internal communication device on the corner of the table emitted a low, continuous vibration.

A phone call came in.

I picked it up and found it was a call from the head of the research institute.

Commander-in-Chief Qi frowned again, wondering if there was something wrong with the test report.

If there's a problem with the test report, then all previous assumptions will have to be overturned.

He pressed the answer button.

"What is it?"

"...President Qi." The voice of the research institute director came through the communicator, his words slightly stuttering and hesitant.

"Um."

"There's one more detail regarding Major General Gao Tian's medical examination report... that wasn't included in the official report. We don't know... whether we should report it."

"Speak," Commander-in-Chief Qi said, his gaze still fixed on the report, his fingers resting on the open page.

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the communicator, as if the speaker was carefully choosing their words: "Actually, it has nothing to do with the medical examination report. According to standard procedures, this information is not within the scope of routine physiological assessments. However, considering its potential relevance and the completeness of the military records... I think it is still necessary to report this to you separately."

"Um."

"It's about the genetic origin of Major General Gao Tian's blood type." The person in charge tensed up even more and said nervously, "When we were cross-checking the basic genetic map, we accessed the archives of Major General Gao Tian's immediate family members in the military."

Immediate family members, relatives, archives.

Commander-in-Chief Qi's fingers, which were resting on the report, suddenly tightened.

He suddenly had a bad feeling and looked up.

"Is there a problem?"

"Yes." The person in charge took a deep breath. "The records show..."

The voice came through the communicator clearly, each word like a scalding stone thrown into still water.

"Major General Gao Tian's father, Comrade Gao Xing, has blood type A according to military records."

That's right.

"Major General Gao Tian himself, as the report indicates, is blood type AB."

indeed.

"But according to the records, Major General Gao Tian's mother, Ms. Qin Qin, her blood type is O!"

Military records are infallible, but how could Major General Gao Tian's mother have type O blood?!

Commander-in-Chief Qi unconsciously repeated, "Type O."

In that instant, the low hum of the office's temperature control system seemed to be amplified infinitely, yet also seemed to vanish in an instant, leaving only a suffocating vacuum.

silence.

It was very quiet.

All I could hear was my own heartbeat, vibrating so loudly that my sternum seemed to be bursting out of my chest cavity, deafeningly loud.

It's not uncommon for fathers and sons to have different blood types. There are many possibilities based on gene combinations.

Type A blood can produce AB blood type children, but type O blood is excluded.

Commander-in-Chief Qi's gaze slowly, very slowly, returned to the blood type AB mark on the side of Gao Tian's medical examination report page.

After a long wait of several seconds on the other end of the communicator, the person in charge added, seemingly unsure whether to say it or not: "President Qi, according to the basic laws of heredity, a mother with blood type O and a father with blood type A cannot have offspring with blood type AB."

Major General Gao Tian may not be his parents' biological son, at least not their biological son.

Commander-in-Chief Qi held the medical examination report without making any movement.

His hands were not pampered; his knuckles were calloused from years of holding weapons, and his joints were clearly defined.

At this moment, they were stiffly gathered on the dark gray report cover, the uneven steel stamp of the silver military emblem on the cover pressing against his fingertips.

His gaze remained fixed on the small AB blood type symbol, piercing through the cold pages to see Gao Tian and Gao Xing's identical faces.

It's a high-star, but... no, that omega one...?

Inside the office, only the constant low hum of the temperature control system and the faint, almost non-existent electrical hum of the communication lines could be heard.

He seemed to freeze; he turned into a stone.

The person in charge on the communicator seemed to sense something and dared not speak again.

Commander-in-Chief Qi even stopped breathing.

The unfolded report, the glaring AB type, and the "O type" bomb just dropped into the communicator collided and shattered silently in absolute silence, forming a mist large enough to engulf him.

It seeps into everything, and is both damp and cold.

He was a dog that had fallen into the rain and been abandoned.

Could it be... the one he's thinking of?

I don't know how much time has passed.

Commander-in-Chief Qi finally made his move.

He gripped the communicator tightly: "Dr. Ji, I have a question for you."

"Please go ahead," the head of the research institute said quickly.

"Alpha, is it possible to get pregnant?"

"Impossible." The head of the research institute answered without hesitation. "Not to mention the degeneration of the alpha's reproductive cavity, the existence of the domineering alpha's high-energy blood alone makes pregnancy absolutely impossible. Any living thing, including an embryo, will be regarded as an intruder and strangled on the spot."

"Is it possible for O or B to have the same performance as A?"

"That's impossible. No medicine or technology can replace the effects of alpha high-energy blood. If such technology existed, the Federation would have already implemented it widely. Unless—"

"unless?"

"I don't remember the exact time, but it was about forty years ago. The Federation uncovered a major illegal human modification experiment. The methods used to modify the children were extremely cruel. Those children were transformed into war machines similar to alphas, with high aggression. They were controlled by the Federation and had very short lifespans, relying on medication to survive their entire lives..."

Commander-in-Chief Qi could not hear what was said next.

He neither looked at the communicator nor at the report.

His gaze, very slowly, turned to the deep, cold, slowly rotating star map of the Federation of Humanity in front of his desk.

Billions of points of light shimmer within it, while hundreds of human satellites revolve within it, emitting a steady blue light, like hundreds of cold and silent souls, or perhaps eyes.

One of the satellites, number 78, is missing.

His hand, which was resting on the report, lifted very slightly, as if trying to grasp or salvage something, but in the end it probably only lifted a centimeter.

Then, it fell gently yet heavily, covering Gao Tian's test report.

He pressed the cover bearing the military insignia, all the cold pages beneath it, the unusually high data, and the blood type that had just been revealed—a data that was enough to overturn certain perceptions—all together in his palm.

He crumpled the test report.

His blood type is B.
