The Secret History of Mars

Chapter 20 Pandora’s Box

After Ye Qinghe and the two elders exited Yi Ge Lu, Elder Yan, who had always been silent, was the first to speak, "Qinghe, before I go to your Tongshu Garden to officially start training tomorrow, bring Yuan Yizhou and Cui Xingmeng to mine first. Sit down at the think tank." Before Ye Qinghe could respond, Elder Yan turned around and asked Elder Bao Xi, "Do you want to come over and take a look together?"

Bao Xi nodded in acquiescence, "The Taiyi True Void Realm is no small matter. Xiaoye may have overreacted, but Elder Cang Xi is willing to try it again on him. She must have her reasons. I'd better meet this Yuan Yizhou in person before I can rest assured."

Seeing the two elders interfering, Ye Qinghe felt a little relieved and said, "That's it. I'll take them to the think tank to meet the two elders tomorrow, and then we'll talk about the training. It's getting late, you two should go back to the cabin early. Rest. I'll go back to the Seed Hotel to check, I guess these two people haven't calmed down yet."

"It hasn't stopped yet? Have you arranged a task for them at night?" Bao Xi asked.

"That's not true. Yuan Yizhou discovered that the Seed Hotel is a phantom of holographic projection. I also allowed him to turn off the holographic projection switch in their room, but I didn't tell them where the switch was." Ye Qinghe explained, "If it's not what I expected, they I should have seen the true appearance of the Seed Hotel by now, so I’d better go over and take a look to avoid any trouble.”

"That's fine. It's going to be reviewed by the Presbytery. It's always a good idea to be more careful, so I'll thank you for the hard work." Bao Xi agreed.

Ye Qinghe said goodbye to the two elders, left the nutrition cabin camp, and returned to the Seed Hotel along the same route. She first went to the lobby to find the receptionist No. 285 to learn about the situation. The receptionist told her that the geothermal switch in the room where the No. 1 seed and the catalyst lived was turned off for a few minutes and then restored. Everything is normal now.

"Are they still in the room now?" Ye Qinghe asked.

"The imager shows that they are not in the room, but on the rooftop." The receptionist replied looking at the thermal imager screen in the central monitoring room.

"On the rooftop?!" A trace of worry flashed in Ye Qinghe's mind, "Come up with me right away and take a look."

The receptionist took Ye Qinghe from the emergency exit outside the hotel to the rooftop of the house where Yuan Yizhou and Cui Xingmeng were staying, only to see the two hugging each other, sitting on the rooftop looking up at the stars, chatting about something. Because of the rush, Ye Qinghe did not hide her arrival, and the two of them also spotted her and the receptionist. Cui Xingmeng was the first to speak, "Mr. Ye came just in time, come and watch the stars together!"

"Look at the stars?!" Ye Qinghe didn't know what the fuss between the two was about. He was a bit like a monk and couldn't figure it out.

"Yes, Elder Bao Xi is indeed right. Because of the thin atmosphere, the starry sky on Mars is very beautiful, especially our blue moon Earth. It would be a pity to miss this kind of scenery." Cui Xingmeng smiled. replied.

Yuan Yizhou saw Ye Qinghe's surprise and asked, "Mr. Ye came to visit late at night, but what did the elders say?"

Hearing Yuan Yizhou's question, Ye Qinghe was shocked. How did he know that I had gone to see the elder, so he asked, "You two are so elegant, why do you think of coming to the rooftop to watch the stars? Mr. Yizhou turned off the hologram in the room. Projection, what do you think?"

"The pioneer elders have good intentions when dealing with an experimental seed," Yuan Yizhou said calmly, "It's just that Mengmeng doesn't like those compound-eye solid lasers very much, so I turned the switch back on and brought her up to change her mood. "

Ye Qinghe was relieved, "Yes, the compound eyes of insects such as flies or dragonflies are the most efficient lens combinations evolved in earth experiments. Putting such a combination in front of the holographic solid laser head amplifies the light energy of the laser, which is the energy The most efficient way, it just looks a little scary.”

"It's not just terrifying," Cui Xing dreamed of the uncomfortable scene just now, "It's simply disgusting, densely packed, with big-headed fly heads the size of watermelons hanging on the wall. Your scientists really have no aesthetics at all." Cui Xingmeng pouted and shook his head. He said with his head.

"Mr. Ye, can we talk about business now?" Yuan Yizhou obviously would not let Ye Qinghe avoid his questions easily.

"I'm here to inform you two that before the training starts tomorrow morning, Elder Yan wants to invite you to sit in his think tank, and Elder Bao Xi is also there." Seeing that there was nowhere to hide, Ye Qinghe directly told them the arrangements for tomorrow morning.

"Bao Xi and Yan want to see me?" Yuan Yizhou asked directly.

"Uh, yes, Miss Xingmeng was also invited." Ye Qinghe felt that this time it was his turn to be crushed by high-dimensional wisdom.

"What are you worried about?" Yuan Yizhou did not let go of Ye Qinghe's slight expression. "Mengmeng and I are your experimental subjects, will it still cause danger to you?"

"You'll find out when you meet the two elders tomorrow." Ye Qinghe couldn't resist, so he simply dropped the topic.

"We have only been separated for a while, and Yuan Yizhou's brain neuron connections have probably reached the next level. Elder Bao Xi said that I was overreacting. The last time I felt the pressure of such a conversation was when I just joined the Pioneer Sect, and was beaten by Elder Cang Xi. During the interview, Elder Cang Xi was the only wise man on Mars who reached the Taiyi True Void Realm." Ye Qinghe thought in his mind.

"Qinghe, I have a question to ask." Cui Xingmeng saw that Ye Qinghe had been forced into a corner by Yuan Yizhou, so he intervened to lighten the atmosphere.

"Please speak." Ye Qinghe seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and hurriedly continued Cui Xingmeng's words.

"Your Bao Xi and Elder Cang Xi are really lovers?"

Even Yuan Yizhou had not expected this question, and Ye Qinghe was even more shocked, thinking that she had only paid attention to Yuan Yizhou's enhanced brain state, how could this Cui Xingmeng not play by the rules at all.

"What is a lover's relationship?" Receptionist No. 285 asked cutely, obviously this was a new vocabulary for him.

"The relationship between lovers is..." Cui Xingmeng got interested and was about to explain.

"Ahem, No. 285, it's getting late. You'd better go back to the lobby and work the night shift. It's not appropriate to have your post empty for a long time." Ye Qinghe quickly interrupted Cui Xingmeng and sent the receptionist away.

After the receptionist reluctantly left the rooftop, Ye Qinghe said to Cui Xingmeng in an angry tone, "Miss Xingmeng's vocabulary is so exciting, you will soon give our biological cloning AI (artificial intelligence) database to Biased."

"Biological cloning AI?" Yuan Yizhou grasped this term keenly, "So you have achieved the combination of cloning technology and artificial intelligence, and can you connect the cloned human brain with the AI ​​database?"

"Yes, doesn't the earth also have the prototypes of these technologies?" Ye Qinghe felt that there was no need to hide from Yuan Yizhou anymore, and instead felt relaxed, "It's just that the people on earth have legal and moral norms, so that these technologies can still be used." Just because they can’t be combined and used on living organisms or people doesn’t mean that these earthlings can’t achieve it.”

"Actually, this also answers Miss Xingmeng's question," Ye Qinghe changed the topic at the right time, "We hope that Bao Xi and Elder Cang Xi are lovers, but it is a pity that that is just a beautiful vision of the earth's mythology. This kind of relationship does not exist in the Martian civilization, because Martians reproduce asexually."

"Asexual reproduction?! You mean Martians don't have parents?" Cui Xingmeng asked in surprise.

"To be precise, they are all their own parents." Ye Qinghe seemed to be as unwilling to talk about this topic as Elder Bao Xi, but he had to tell them the information sooner or later. After finishing it today, he left it to Elder Yan to answer them tomorrow. Question.

"You are not much different from us in terms of form. Why is it asexual reproduction?" Yuan Yizhou obviously did not expect it.

"That's right, you Earthlings are the result of natural evolution by Martians without any intervention." Ye Qinghe said, "We Martians are not born with asexual reproduction. Three million years ago, when we discovered that our civilization was When counting down, the first way to try to save yourself is to change yourself to adapt to the increasingly harsh Martian environment."

"So you took action on your genes?" Yuan Yizhou asked.

"Yes, it was just a small repair at the beginning, correcting some genetic defects to make our bodies stronger." Ye Qinghe recalled, "But once this process started, it was like opening Pandora's box that can no longer be closed. On."
