Epoch of Twilight

The next day, the cafeteria canteen.

Luo Yuan and Chen Xinjie sat opposite each other, silent for a long time. I haven't seen her for a while, and she has obviously lost a lot of energy. She can vaguely see the hidden grief in her eyes. Compared with the intellectual beauty with a sweet smile, It's like a different person.

"I'm sorry..." After a long time, Luo Yuan broke the silence and said.

He didn't expect that her mother would have passed away after only a few days of delay. This was so sudden that he was caught off guard. If he could have told her mother a few days in advance, or when they met at that time, Treatment, there will be no such sad things!

"No need to be sorry, I've been mentally prepared for this, everything is my life!" Chen Xinjie turned her head away and said softly, her eyes were already a little red.

The atmosphere was silent for a while!

At this time, it was lunchtime, and people came and went in the canteen of the municipal government, and the seats were full of people, but this area was a vacuum, and the nearby seats were empty, and no one dared to take the initiative near.

Sensing the vague gaze nearby, Luo Yuan asked: "You should be transferred to my secretariat, Cheng Guanghui, I'm going to let him go to take charge of some practical things."

"It's not appropriate, mayor, I'm living a good life now!" Chen Xinjie bit her lip, lowered her head and said, "You already know that everything in the past was for the mission above, and now there is no need for it."

"But everything is in the past, we should look forward..." Luo Yuan emphasized.

"Mayor, I'm done eating, I'm leaving first!" Chen Xinjie covered her bangs, picked up the plate and left the table.

Seeing her fleeing figure, Luo Yuan opened his mouth, and finally just sighed. The relationship between the two is not normal, like a stained white cloth, it doesn't mean that it can return to its original state after washing.

...

Luo Yuan went back to the office and sat for a while. After approving more than a dozen documents, he became a little idle. Now that everything in Hope City is on the right track, there is no need for him to do everything by himself. With the completion of the heating system , the continuous expansion of vegetable and food production, and the reopening of more and more civilian factories, the lives of the people have been improving day by day.

Although it is still not as good as before, the problem of food and clothing can be satisfied.

The greatest credit for this is the nuclear fusion furnace dismantled from the Bossian aircraft, which provides endless energy, allowing human beings to survive tenaciously in this terrible winter.

And now there is more than one nuclear fusion in Hope City. In order to ensure energy security and avoid emergencies, another aircraft floating in near space was also dismantled by Luo Yuan. The nuclear fusion furnace was placed in Hope City as a backup energy source. Even if there is a problem with one of the fusion furnaces, it will not affect the survival of human beings.

Luo Yuan lightly tapped the table, closed his eyes and meditated, after a while he picked up the intercom and connected to the secretary Cheng Guanghui:

"Notify the director of the Institute of Biology and ask him to come over!" Luo Yuan finished speaking, and then hung up the phone.

Now most of the researchers in Hope City have been sent to the spaceship. The Institute of Biology is the only laboratory located on Earth. However, there are not many real researchers in the Institute of Biology. Except for a few authoritative biological researchers, at most The newly recruited laboratory operators are used for talent reserve, and for human cloning assembly line operations.

The number of human beings is too small now. It is difficult to reproduce after the end of the world, and the pregnancy rate is low. Relying on natural reproduction alone, it will take at least a thousand years to restore the population of the reconstruction area before the disaster. Don't even think about it for tens of thousands of years. This is still the result of continuous and strong administrative intervention.

And cloning is much simpler, and this is the only way for human beings to quickly restore civilization and rebuild glory.

Unfortunately, whether it is Hope City or the spaceship that is about to migrate soon, the number of humans that can accommodate is quite limited. For a long time, the number of humans can only be maintained at a maximum of tens of millions, unless humans can find it in the universe. A new ecological planet, or wait for the technology to develop to a certain extent, have the ability to transform the planet.

While the former has little hope, the latter will take time.

...

After a while, the director of the Institute of Biology opened the door with the help of the secretary and walked in.

This is a thin and short old man, about fifty or sixty years old, before he had time to change his clothes, he obviously rushed over as soon as he received the call.

Hope City's continuous publicity about Luo Yuan's annihilation of aliens has made his image a myth, and his majesty is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even though this senior scientific researcher has long been used to seeing all kinds of leaders, facing Luo Yuan, he still looks nervous and nervous Some of them were at a loss for words: "City...mayor, you call me."

"Sit!" Luo Yuan nodded and said.

He closed the door carefully, and sat down on the sofa with a stiff expression. This was the first time he had seen the legendary mayor. Thinking of the research progress of the institute, he couldn't help feeling restless.

"How is the human cloning technology research at the institute?" Luo Yuan asked.

"It will take a little time. The formula of amniotic fluid has always been problematic and requires a lot of experiments." Seeing that the mayor really asked this question, a trace of sweat could not help but ooze from his forehead!

The cloning factory in Hope City is not going well. After the disaster, this technology has been faulted, and the amniotic fluid technology that simulates the uterus has not yet broken through, which has caused the cloning factory to remain in a state of shutdown.

Human cloning often involves various moral and ethical issues. Even in the last days, human cloning is still a secret thing. Only Xinjing has a few such laboratories. Even before, many biological research institutes in Hope City The personnel have never heard of it, and now everything in the institute needs to be restarted.

Luo Yuan couldn't help frowning when he heard this. Although he had done a lot of human cloning experiments, he didn't understand the most basic amniotic fluid technology, and he didn't have this concept. After all, at that time, who would care about these culture fluids? In the end is how to synthesize.

However, he is not in a hurry, after all, there is no absolute gap between the biotechnology of Hope City and Xinjing, and the difference is just a close call. What's more, there is more advanced genetic technology in the Boxing spacecraft. I believe that as time goes by, humans will gradually discover the Boxing technology, and everything will be solved.

"So can the lab do plant cloning now?" Luo Yuan asked.

"Plant cloning?" The director was a little surprised, and then reacted, and quickly replied: "Mayor, compared with human cloning, plant cloning is relatively simple, and it is even simpler if it is asexual reproduction. With the technology of our laboratory ,should be no problem."

"Very good, then prepare the relevant technical reserves first, and I will come over to inspect it in person after a while." Luo Yuan nodded and said.

The director of the research institute was confused. Although he didn't know what the other party wanted to do, he still made a statement on the spot and promised to complete this political task. Soon he walked away, and the office became quiet again.

Yes, this is a relevant arrangement made by Luo Yuan to produce wisdom.

However, compared to the slow and inefficient cloning, Luo Yuan hopes to directly synthesize various beneficial components of the heart of wisdom, such as various polymer substances and proteins, and directly carry out industrial production. It is unrealistic, maybe it will be possible to do it after absorbing the technology of the Boxing people.
