My apocalyptic heroine has come true

He didn't ask any more questions and controlled the drone back to the base station.

As soon as the unmanned reconnaissance plane left, Shi Si and Shi Yi's tense nerves relaxed at the same time.

"...Sister, I said so much not to be ironic." Shi Si hurriedly explained.

"I know." Shi Yi replied.

"What do you know?" Shi Si asked back.

"Aren't you just trying to say that the owner of the Ark Shelter... doesn't look like a modern person?"

"Did you notice it too?"

"Of course."

Shi Yi shook his head and said, "Yesterday, when he came to talk to me about the genetic pollution, I realized something was wrong. Also, a lot of the questions he's been asking us lately are common sense, things that even ordinary scavengers would know very well, but he didn't know them."

After saying that, the brother and sister looked at each other.

"Well, so I think he should be..."

"Someone who just woke up from the sleeping cabin!" Shi Si answered quickly.

"That's right!" Shi Yi nodded in agreement.

"He's probably a descendant of some large family or group. Considering the questions he just asked about the war, he must have been asleep before the war!"

"It's amazing. How can the pre-war sleeping cabin be preserved for so long? What kind of technology is this? Freezing? Immortality?" Shi Si said excitedly.

"No matter what technology it is," Shi Yi said, raising an index finger, "with his current armed capabilities, he can definitely protect the safety of the Ark Shelter."

"That's right!" Shi Si nodded vigorously.

"..."

The other side of the phone.

Although the image transmission from the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft was lost, Fang Ming could still observe the situation around the Ark Shelter from all angles through the camera of his mobile phone.

Naturally, he listened to the conversation between the siblings.

...What on earth have these two siblings imagined themselves to be?

Forget about Xia Xiaochi, but why are you guys fantasizing about it too?

but……

Fang Ming didn't want to explain this.

It would of course be better if the other party could be logically consistent, which would also save Fang Ming the trouble of making up lies.

After taking another look at the blueprint the brother and sister were studying, Fang Ming realized that it was the architectural layout of the Ark Shelter, so he stopped paying attention to them.

It was late afternoon.

Fang Jing failed to adjust to the jet lag and had a good sleep.

After waking up, she told Fang Ming that she had asked him the questions in the morning.

There have indeed been significant breakthroughs in current gene editing technology.

This technology is mainly used in the fields of medicine and agriculture. Some people have used this technology to edit human genes before, but it was stopped.

Editing human genes violates social ethics and undermines human dignity and the value of life. Genetic discrimination will be born among the "new humans," while the "old humans" will be eliminated.

Of course, in addition to this ethical issue, there is another important reason: this technology is not mature enough.

If a mistake occurs, then the problem of genetic contamination that Fang Ming mentioned is very likely to occur.

After Fang Ming carefully read the text sent by Fang Jing, he said something that made Fang Jing feel creepy:

"What would happen if this technology were to be used in living organisms and they were genetically mutated to become larger and more aggressive?"

Fang Jing replied with five words: "The consequences are serious."

If genetically contaminated organisms escape into the wild, the damage they cause is irreversible.

With continued reproduction, those genes will be permanently passed down, and they will not only change the species, but also the entire ecological chain.

According to the natural law of "survival of the fittest," only these genetically contaminated creatures will remain on this earth. If that happens, it would be like humanity returning to the age of the dinosaurs. If technology and resources fail to meet the standards, we might even lose our position as the dominant force on Earth.

Fang Ming pondered these words several times and realized the seriousness of the matter.

The 'future' where Xia Xiaochi is located is at least 400 years away from him.

With his current abilities and the existing level of technology, it would be difficult to explore these things.

But Fang Ming wanted to understand them as much as possible.

Think about it from another angle, if the Earth where Xia Xiaochi is is the future of the Earth under Fang Ming's feet...

Everything I do now has meaning.

Fang Ming: If this technology were used in war, wouldn’t it be a devastating blow?

Fang Jing: How is that possible! Unless someone doesn't want to live anymore, why would they research this kind of thing?

Fang Ming: Are you researching this technology?

Fang Jing:? ? ?

Fang Jing: Your sister, my research topic is to conquer cancer cells. Gene editing is just one of the means and it is not within the scope of my research at all!

Fang Ming: Okay, if there is a lab doing this kind of thing, please tell me, I would be very interested.

After a few simple greetings, Fang Ming stopped chatting with his cousin.

After all, Fang Jing is only from the 21st century, and what she has learned is of little value in the last century.

On the contrary... if we can apply the knowledge of the last century to the 21st century, it might have a miraculous effect.

Thinking of this, Fang Ming quickly thought of another thing.

If I could move the biological research results from the last century to the 21st century.

Then... didn't I accidentally create a kind of 'closed loop'?

Wouldn't it be me who is the culprit for the genetic pollution and mutation of organisms in the future?

Don’t let Xia Xiaochi step into the ruins of a biological laboratory and see a sign saying “Father of gene editing”: Fang Ming.

That would be too dramatic.

Thinking of this, Fang Ming suddenly woke up.

This matter really needs to be handled with caution.

If I really come into contact with genetic information, I cannot spread it easily in modern times.

the next period of time.

While Fang Ming was undergoing rehabilitation training, he was searching online for topics related to genetic pollution and mutation.

Although he does not intend to join the discussion on the Internet, this does not prevent him from actively obtaining information from the outside world.

Just as Fang Jing said, modern genetic technology is standard and there are no maliciously tampered news reports like the one Fang Ming was concerned about.

This side of the Ark Shelter.

After Shi Si pieced together the core components of the wind turbine, Fang Ming temporarily stopped him.

Now, Fang Ming needs an early warning radar that can detect missile signals more than a generator.

After all, as time went by, Fang Ming didn't know when the missile above his head would fall.

If possible, he also wants to make an anti-missile system.

But given Shi Si's abilities and the current technological level of the Ark Shelter, such a system cannot be built easily.

In the end, Fang Ming had no choice but to focus on the ability to capture the 'missile launch source'.

Even if we cannot intercept the missile, we can at least locate the direction from which the missile was launched.

Unfortunately, his shelter did not have a satellite, so Shi Si could only determine two of the several customized solutions: infrared sensor array and sound wave collection device.

Infrared sensing is simple, operating on a similar principle to the thermal imaging seen by unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, using infrared light for positioning. However, this method has significant drawbacks: it can only detect missiles at very close range, requiring them to wait until they are within striking distance. Furthermore, the advance warning period is as short as 20 seconds.

Not to mention sound waves.

As long as the missile's flight speed is faster than the sound wave, its warning time is invalid. However, it is indeed a good choice for determining direction.

Shi Si developed these two devices in just three days.

By the way, Fang Ming also asked him to install the bird-dispersing device.

Sound waves are used to disperse birds. Strong sound waves are the simplest and most effective way to repel birds at night.

In order to collect all these materials, Fang Ming simply dismantled a car and then put these things together.

And the next day after implementing them.

Shi Si and Shi Yi are about to set off for home.

The distance between the Ark Shelter and the 2737 Shelter is only ten kilometers. The brother and sister have not returned for so many days, and Xiao La is urging them to go back.

In addition, they are also responsible for delivering supplies to Xiao La.

Fang Ming had previously promised Xiao La that he would purify and split the black gunpowder and split it 50-50 with Xiao La.

It has been two weeks since Fang Ming got the goods, but they have not been delivered yet.

Fortunately, in order to reassure Xiao La, Fang Ming released the people and asked the brother and sister to return the separated black powder raw materials.

"This is a thank you gift from the master."

Before leaving, Xia Xiaochi loaded a box of canned food and drinking water into the car.

Shi Si and Shi Yi sat in the car, hesitant to speak.

These things... they don't want to collect.

After accepting it, doesn't it mean that the debt between you and the owner of the Ark Shelter has been settled and a line has been drawn?

"...My wind turbine has not been assembled yet." Shi Si said tactfully, unable to speak.

"My master saw the drawings you left on the table and said he could assemble it." Xia Xiaochi replied with a smile.

Shi Si: "This is a very precise project, and the operation is very complicated..."
