The room in the center of the incubation area seemed to have a natural attraction for the experimental subjects. After 77 and 76 left, this attraction seemed to begin to unblock and gradually expand the scope of influence.The experimental subjects who sneaked into the compartment behind them almost all restrained their movements and went there.

"It's weird..." An experimental subject who just came back was lying on the tree in his glass room. He thought for a while and asked the other experimental subjects, "When we leave here, we can go to that room and take a look inside.Do you take your things with you?"

"Why not?" Number 35 waved his tentacles, and was very curious about the room mentioned by the experimenter who had been there. "I want to see what that is too."

——

Although this group of experimental subjects often couldn't resist going there, they knew their own weight well, and each time only a few experimental subjects entered the compartment at the same time.

"I seem to have heard a heartbeat as well." One of the subjects said, "It's very special, it's not the same as the other heartbeats at all."

The experimental subjects shared their findings, and the researchers in the monitoring room also noticed that several experimental subjects seemed to have been staying in the tree for a long time recently.

He leaned closer to the screen: "Why didn't you see the experimental subject in the surveillance again?"

The person next to him pointed to the lush leaves on the screen: "It should be hidden here."

He laughed and complained: "Sometimes I feel that these trees should not be prepared."

"You see, as soon as they climb up the tree, they can't see the shadow."

The colleagues around him also laughed when they heard this: "That's not okay, after all, these experimental subjects still seem to like these trees very much."

Where they couldn't see, 77 rested his hands on the partition, looked up at 76 in front of him slightly, raised one hand to wipe the dust on the side of 76's face, and then rubbed against his face.rubbed.

77 looked towards the direction of the camera in the corridor from the corner of his eye, and whispered: "I don't like the 'eyes' in the corridor."

He leaned closer to 76: "If you didn't have 'eyes', you could come down from here now."

77 thought for a while and continued: "In this way, you can go diving with me in my pool." The temperature in the laboratory is still relatively high.In the ice cold water.

77 is attached to 76, whose body temperature is slightly lower than the environment, but now that 76 is here, it seems that it doesn't matter whether to soak in the water or stay in the tree.

At the latest regular meeting of the laboratory, according to the unexpected situation of the last jailbreak, some researchers proposed that a chip could be installed in the body of the experimental subject.

"The chips are buried under the skin, and the subjects shouldn't try to get them out if they can't see them."

"As for the chip, our team has already made the original version some time ago, and we have made improvements during this period, but we haven't tried it on the experimental body yet."

As he spoke, he turned on the optical brain projection, and explained the function of the chip to the others present: "It can be used for positioning and monitoring functions, and can also generate electric current to control the experimental subject when needed."

"At the same time, it is also harmless to the body of the experimental subject, it's just that there is a little extra in the subcutaneous tissue."

"What do you think?" Jonathan asked Alyssa sitting next to him.

"I think it's okay to think about it," Alyssa said. "Sometimes they really are not easy to control."

They were talking in a low voice. From the corner of their eyes, they saw Mendley in the front row. He didn't look very happy. After the person who stood up finished speaking, he glanced at him, nodded coldly, and then looked at him with a look of disappointment.When I said that, I said, "Then let's try first."

He lowered his head and wrote a line in his notebook, then clicked on Alyssa's name: "Test it on 157 first."

"I remember that 157's self-healing ability far exceeds that of other experimental subjects?"

Alyssa nodded: "When is the experiment scheduled?"

The pen in Mendley's hand knocked on the table, and after a moment of contemplation, he set the time: "Just this Wednesday."

——

After the meeting, Alyssa asked Jonathan who was walking beside him: "Mr. Mendry doesn't seem very happy recently?"

"It should be the problem of the experimental subject." Although the words said yes, but Jonathan's tone was very sure, "The experiment has not gone well recently..."

He whispered: "A few days ago in the incubation room, there was a larva in the nutrition cabin that lost its activity... But so far I haven't figured out the law of the mutation caused by the starstone..." Jonathan said and blinked at Alyssa,Let her comprehend the rest of the sentence.

There was a flash of understanding in Alyssa's eyes: "I seemed to see Mr. Mendley talking to Kathy the other day."

"Is it about the star stone?"

Alyssa nodded. "Mr. Mendley wants people to find another starstone."

She made a little gesture with her hand: "I remember that the star stone in our hand was only this big at first." After so many years of consumption, it has been reduced by at least half.

"But Kathy disagrees." Jonathan could guess the result almost without asking.

The discovery of the star rock came from an accident where a civilian starship met a star thief. The starship finally fell from space, and the wreckage was found on a remote small planet a few months later.

At this time, there were only five people alive, and the star stone was something they found when they were trying to survive on this planet. At first, they only regarded it as an ordinary and beautiful stone. After being rescued, one person brought some as a souvenirI took it back.

Not long after, someone accidentally discovered the strangeness of the star stone. In order to prevent private research institutes from using the star stone to conduct experiments that violated human relations, the government came forward to take back the stray star stone and seal it up.Mendley got his piece on the black market by accident.

Later, some people tried to find the star rock on the planet that was originally discovered, but after the star rock was exposed to the public's field of vision, when they searched according to the coordinates, they found that the planet could not be found.

"Didn't they say a moving planet was discovered a while ago?" Alyssa asked. "Would they be related?"

"It's not sure." Jonathan paused, "Some people doubt whether these two planets are the same."

"But most people don't think it's like it." Jonathan said, "The planet where the starstone was discovered is a very barren planet. Most of the land is covered with low moss and shrubs, and the vegetation can hardly cover the land below. But fromJudging from space images, the land of the recently discovered planet is already covered with green, and according to speculation, there should be many tall trees."

He thought for a while and added: "Without human intervention, it may take many tens of thousands of years for the former to become the state of the newly discovered planet."

Trying to find a planet in the universe about which almost nothing is known is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.Jonathan doesn't hold out much hope for Mendley's attempts to find new starstones.

He glanced at Alyssa and continued: "Cathy has always felt that the rewards from the experimental body are already very rich, and there is no need to look for star stones. Compared with this, he values more clones.In this way, we can get a steady stream of stable profits.”

"It doesn't take a second to know that Mr. Mendley would disagree."

"However, there were some troubles a while ago due to supplier problems, and the empire may strengthen supervision recently. Kathy told Mr. Mendley to be careful, and it is impossible for him to go out and take risks to find starstones at this time."

"After all, it's too conspicuous to come out at this time." Jonathan sighed, "If there is no accident, the starship will bring a large amount of supplies when it comes this time, and it will not come again for a long time."

"If the limelight persists, our communication cycle may become bimonthly."

While they were chatting about the recent changes, several experimental subjects in the third district were eating "self-service".

The food provided by the laboratory cannot perfectly poke the hearts of the subjects every day. In the past, due to limited conditions, most of the time they could only choose to obediently eat the food they didn't like.

But since the discovery of the ceiling partition, for some experimental subjects, there are other solutions.

After the researcher turned and left the third area, the subjects shouted loudly: "I have green fruit here, who wants to change it with me?"

"I don't like this kind of meat." Another experimental subject dragged the meat and climbed up the tree, then opened the partition, brought all the food up, looked around and then stared at one of the experimental subjects who could also come up, "89 Your meat looks a little tastier than mine, can I exchange it with you?"

After a smooth exchange, he focused on 76 again: "Your meat..."

Before he finished speaking, 76 moved his body and hid the meat behind his back: "No change."

"You don't like this very much." Having been a neighbor for so long, he still has a little understanding of 76's recipes.

76 climbed up the tree with his own food, and after opening the partition, he saw 77 who came over with his own food.

The food of the two snakes was piled together, 76 glanced at him: "But 77 likes it."

It's okay, the experimental subject who proposed the exchange turned his head resentfully, grabbed the meat in front of him and took a bite, blaming him, because he didn't realize that 77 likes to eat this.

——

On the other side, Alyssa and Jonathan, who were walking and chatting, also quickly returned to the incubation room where 157 was.

When Alyssa pushed the door open, 157 ran towards the door when she heard the noise. Alyssa smiled and rubbed her head.Then saw the door of an incubation room next door opened, and a researcher came out pushing a small cart.

157 glanced in that direction curiously. After seeing the strange lump of meat, he subconsciously lowered his eyes to look at the floor, and curled up his tentacles a little uneasy.However, even if you don't look over there, the sound of the wheels of the small cart rolling into your ears, there is an illusion as if it is being crushed by your own tentacles, and the pink color on your body is almost dimming.

"Is it another failed hatchling?" She vaguely heard "Mom" asking.

"yes."

"Are you going to make a new specimen? I think it's fully developed." Alyssa asked curiously.

157, who was a little confused in his mind, subconsciously raised his head and looked at Alyssa.

"specimen"?157 instinctively paid attention to "Mom".

This is the first time I heard the word, 157 thought a little strangely, what does the specimen mean?
