After saying this, Nova fell silent.

Her pupils were bloodshot, and she looked at Joyner with an indescribable look in her eyes.

Joyner avoided Nova's gaze with her hands, pressed her temples, and lowered her head, trying to cover up her inner unease.

Nova's words brought back some memories of Joyner. She had heard similar rumors in the early days of participating in the Titan Project.

At that time, there was a rumor circulating in scientific research institutions within the military: Project Titan was actually an effort to purify human beings.

The general meaning of purification is that at a certain time in the future, artificial genetic engineering will replace the natural genes of human beings, endow "some people" with stronger survivability, and prepare for human migration to other planets.

In the initial stage of the experiment, the evolutionary time of millions of years should be condensed into a few hundred years or even shorter to observe the effect. Therefore, the genetic screening process of the selected candidates is a very complicated and lengthy process.

One part of the experiment is large-scale human genetic screening, using artificial interference in evolution to affect the process of natural selection. In the early stage of the trial, a large number of clinical cases need to be accumulated as a reference. Only those who survived may have a special case of a mutation.

According to probability speculation, if all goes well, mutants may account for a little more than one millionth of the total population.

Joyner dismissed the rumors at the time, but she was also curious. Since it is evolution, there must be elimination. What will happen to those who do not pass the genetic screening?

Another problem that made the military quite difficult at the time was how to get most people to participate in the experiment and accept the screening completely voluntarily, which is the key issue of the experiment.

Although this rumor has not been confirmed, it is very popular in military research institutions, and almost everyone knows it.

She also heard that before the real "Project Titan" was launched, another experiment with high secrecy was already going on simultaneously. The experimental results are similar to survivor bias, just to minimize the risk of the experiment and avoid arousing disgust or panic among most people.

Joyner thought to herself, could it be that the extremely confidential experiment is what Nova is talking about now?

"Please explain in more detail."

Joyner straightened up, folded her arms, and stared at Nova for a long time—unpleasantly long.

"Of course."

Nova continued, "I gathered the messy data I collected, checked the causes and consequences of various events one by one, and finally came to a conclusion: the military probably used Morgana's research to overlay the Titan plan on it. , Deceiving people, so there must be a deep connection between the two."

"Are you so sure?" Joyner deliberately turned her head and asked.

"Of course, I have a strong intuition, and I have recorded all kinds of facts, which are the materials you have read." Nova glanced at Joyna meaningfully.

"First of all, I have to clarify that I don't know how they did it. After Morgana's death, the number of hosts infected with tn38 reached its peak within a few weeks, about hundreds of millions of people. But later, the infected people moved faster The speed disappeared, that is, during that time, I felt the silence of the tree of life system."

Joyner was thinking, with all kinds of information rolling in her mind. Although she couldn't make a conclusion, she believed that Nova's intuition was right.

The connection between Project Titan and Morgana's experiment is not that simple.

In Joyner's impression, the implementation of the Titan plan was extremely strict. First, it must be ensured that all participants in the experiment are voluntary and have fully understood the purpose and risks of the experiment. It must be ensured that in the process of gathering information, no more people will be put at risk. If necessary, a series of measures will be taken to ensure the safety of the experimental subject.

Secondly, it is also necessary to adopt advanced technical means to ensure the safety of experimental data. Including the use of encryption technology, protection of data transmission, use of multi-factor authentication to protect data access rights, etc.

Finally, a professional team needs to be established to manage the experimental data and supervise the experimental process. The team consists of professional scientists, doctors, ethicists, legal experts and various experts to ensure the scientific, safe and ethical nature of the experiments.

Well, the question is very frightening - under such strict experimental conditions, it is difficult to realize the social morality. How did the military get the approval of the general public in a short period of time, and then grandly determine the candidates?

It seems that there must be something I don't know about it, maybe it's like what Nova said...

Joyner, who was in deep thought, suddenly felt a shadow covering her face, blocking a ray of sunlight in the morning.

She looked up and saw Nova stood up, standing by the barred window, and said calmly, "It's getting late, you should also rest. Tomorrow morning is the day when the ten-penalty competition starts. You have a day to think about it. Then give me an answer."

"etc."

Hearing this, Joyner frowned and said, "What if I don't agree to participate in your competition?"

"Oh, whatever you want," Nova turned his back and looked out of the iron window, and replied coldly, "If that's the case, it can only show that my vision is too bad, and it was a mistake to invite you. I knew it a long time ago, but I Convince yourself that you can show the minimum courtesy."

"What's the meaning?"

"It means that if you reject me, you have to leave this place—" Nova's voice was not high, but loud, "You are not welcome in Hidden Sand Castle. So, get out as soon as possible."

What?

Joyner's expression changed instantly, and she tried her best to restrain the urge to rush forward.

She knew that the other party was not that easy to deal with, and that losing both was not the result she wanted. Moreover, there were still many things she didn't understand, and there were too many questions to ask, and she had to know the answers to those questions.

More importantly, she didn't want to kill Nova.

"It might be a mistake to accept your invitation," Joyner slowly let go of her fist, and replied coldly, "I also knew it a long time ago. But I convinced myself that I could get the answers to those questions."

"The hundreds of miles outside this place are all places of death. I built this paradise with my own hands for people to reproduce and survive. For this reason, I also controlled several gangs to maintain the basic operation of the city. As you may know, in I have a lot of power here, but I don't know how big it is."

Nova turned her head~www.wuxiaspot.com~ with a soft voice, "As for the answer you want, I have already said that I will tell you after you win the game."

"I don't know what your idea is, let alone what this game is."

"It's easy to know, just ask anyone, including the prisoners held here."

"Do you think I can't get out of here?" Joyner asked angrily.

"Oh, you care too much."

"I'm just making an analogy. If you want to go out, you can go out anytime, and I won't stop you," Nova had already heard that Joyna was about to agree, and she curled her lips and smiled, "But don't forget , those people from the Xuanming Gang will not let you go. As long as you show up, they will send assassins to harass you non-stop. This is the same result... because, in this city, you will never have a stable life, and in the end, you will still come to me."

Nova looked at Joyner with sharp eyes, and there was a faint smile on his cold and arrogant face.
