Perhaps because Zhang Liufeng's appearance was too embarrassing, Liu Pingcheng silently moved a step to the side, opening the distance between him and Li Xun'an and Song Ziqi also avoided him.
But Zhang Liufeng didn't seem to notice that these people's attitudes towards him were wrong. Seeing that they didn't speak, he didn't care. Instead, he turned to Qin Weisong, seeking his support.
Among the people present, only Qin Weisong knew Qi Wang's true identity. He naturally understood that as a half-human, half-machine existence, the possibility that Qi Wang had a crush on Zhang Liufeng was basically zero.
Finding faults is not the way to find them.
Qin Weisong was a little tired. He rubbed the center of his brows and said, "Liu Feng, you misunderstood. Zhou Qian'an didn't mean that. Everything before was a misunderstanding. He has already explained it clearly. From now on, we are still brothers. You don't have to Look at him strangely."
As soon as these words were said, not only Zhang Liufeng, Liu Pingcheng, Song Ziqi and Li Xun'an all changed their expressions.
"Commander, you..."
Qin Weisong naturally knew what they were going to say, what Zhou Qianan had done before was too much, it was normal for them not to accept his existence.
But Qin Weisong knew that Qi Wang was not Zhou Qian'an, and it was expedient to let him take Zhou Qian'an's place now. As for what happened next, we had to wait for Qi Wang to show his value.
"You don't need to say any more. I have my own measure. I will send Zhou Qian'an back first. I will tell you the reason."
Qin Weisong had already talked about this point, and as subordinates, they couldn't continue to ask questions, but the eyes they looked at Qi Huang were very dangerous, and they obviously felt that Qi Huang had bewitched Qin Weisong.
Qi Huan: "..."
I always feel that in the eyes of these people, I am like a goblin bewitching the king.
It must be his illusion.
After coming out of the prison, a group of people took Qi Wang to the area where humans lived.
There is still a distance from the prison to the human gathering place. They came here on foot. The group of people are in good physical condition, and it didn't take long to walk there.
I don't feel much far away, but when I walk into the street and look at the human beings coming and going around, it seems that I have come from a barren place to a human world exuding smoke and fire.
Walking among the crowd and being in such a noisy environment, it is easy for people to have the illusion that this era is different from the past.
Longyan base is the same as Yaoyang base, there are many robots, but humanoid robots are not much different from humans in appearance.
Humans are afraid that robots have independent thinking, but they are also afraid that robots are not like humans. They have set up programs to make robots have artificially created emotions. If only from the appearance, it is difficult to see the difference between robots and humans. .
However, Qi Wang, who is also a robot, can still tell how many of these pedestrians on the street are humans and how many are robots.
Along the way, the service industry and some other types of work are basically robots, and among the pedestrians walking side by side, one of them must be a robot.
Looking around like this, the number of humans on the bustling streets is not even one-tenth.
Moreover, most of these humans are men, and the number of women is very rare.
After the disaster, the number of surviving human beings has become less and less, partly because of the fatal impact on human fertility, and partly because of the scarcity of women. There is not one-twentieth of the male-to-female ratio, and the human fertility rate is naturally much lower.
But the sad thing is that after the female population became scarce, the status of women did not rise, and women in this world, as a tight reproductive resource, were heavily 'protected'.
Women in this world implement a distribution system, free love basically does not exist, and the marriage system is almost abolished. Except for high-ranking men who can have a fixed female partner, other men who want to have a partner have to rely on the base distribute.
After the women become adults, they will be assigned to the men in the base after being screened according to the conditions. They will only stay with the men for one year. If they do not become pregnant during this year, they will be taken back and reassigned to the next male.
If it is possible to conceive, then the woman can stay with the man who made her pregnant and no longer have to participate in the distribution.
But this is rarely the case. The vast majority of women, before the end of their lives, are allocated to men who need women on demand, year after year, until the end of their lives.
Qi Wang was sent back to the place where Zhou Qian'an lived. It was an independent two-storey villa, and the security measures were in place. In order to protect him from harm, Qin Weisong sent twelve robots to protect him.
Qi Huan was well aware of Qin Weisong's purpose for sending the robot over, but he didn't say much, and accepted Qin Weisong's arrangement frankly.
After all, Qin Weisong is the commander of a base, and he will not believe Qi Huang just because of his one-sided words. Before he proves his worth and proves that he is harmless, Qin Weisong will not let his guard down.
However, when Zhang Liufeng saw that Qin Weisong arranged twelve robots for Qi Huang, his eyes turned red with anger.
He had been suppressing it until he left Qi Wang's house, he finally couldn't help it, and said angrily: "Commander, don't you think you treat Zhou Qian'an too much? He betrayed the Longyan base and sent All our research materials have been destroyed, it can be said that he has destroyed our foundation, why do you still give him so much preferential treatment?"
Liu Pingcheng, who was a bit more temperamental, didn't understand why Qin Weisong treated Qi Huang with so much care.
What Zhou Qian'an has done has broken the bottom line. Even if Qin Weisong once had feelings for Zhou Qian'an, compared with the entire Longyan Base, this feeling is a bit insignificant.
You must know that they spent so many years and wasted countless manpower and material resources to complete that technology, and finally the technology has matured, but Zhou Qian'an suddenly stabbed them in the back.
How much they believed in Zhou Qian'an in the past, how much they hate him now, he has failed their trust.
Those who followed Qin Weisong were all his confidantes. They had been with Qin Weisong for so many years and knew him very well.
Qin Weisong is a person who distinguishes between likes and hates. Zhou Qian'an's mistakes are unforgivable. According to his character, he should not be forgiven.
But now Qin Weisong not only forgives him, but also seems to no longer pursue the wrong things he did. The relationship between the two seems to have eased. Although they are not as close as a couple, they are not. What a rattling hostility.
This is a little out of the ordinary.
Even Song Ziqi, who had always firmly believed that Qin Weisong could handle this matter well, couldn't help but said: "Commander, we are not questioning your decision, but we think we are entitled to a reasonable explanation. As we all know, Zhou Qian'an stole He stole our core technical data, and destroyed all our backups. In the end, he escaped with this data, and went to the Yaoyang Base, which we have never dealt with. We all know that, Zhou Qian'an betrayed us, he is our enemy."
"The ancients said that being kind to the enemy is treating oneself cruelly. Even if Zhou Qian'an returns the information he stole, it doesn't mean that everything he did can be erased, and it doesn't mean that he can be forgiven."
Song Ziqi is a man of few words. He seldom speaks unless necessary. The reason why he talks so much now is that he is really forced.
Liu Pingcheng and Li Xun'an's attitudes are the same, they don't understand Qin Weisong's actions, if Qin Weisong doesn't explain clearly, this matter will be like a thorn in their hearts. superior.
Once a rift is formed, they will have doubts about Qin Weisong, which will be extremely detrimental to his future rule.
Looking at the earnest expressions of his subordinates, Qin Weisong understood that if this matter was not explained clearly, they would never get over this hurdle.
"Follow me into the conference room, and I'll tell you why."
After Qin Weisong said so, he took his subordinates to the meeting room.
The fewer people who know Qi Wang's real identity, the better, so Qin Weisong did not reveal his real identity, but revealed the technology he possessed.
"Zhou Qian'an said that he has mastered the technology that allows men to have children."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.
Zhang Liufeng and the others were so shocked that they couldn't speak. Everyone stared at Qin Weisong dumbfounded, as if they couldn't believe what they heard.
No, wait a minute, what did they hear? Men have children? Are you kidding me? How can a man have children
But if nothing else is said, if men can have children, then the problem of human reproduction can be easily solved.
You must know that the total number of people in this world is less than 10 million, and the female population accounts for one-twentieth of the total population. That is to say, there are only less than half a million females in this world.
The female population is very small, and the fertility is extremely low. If the reproductive problem cannot be solved, the human race will perish within a few hundred years.
If men could have children...
Thinking of this, Liu Pingcheng subconsciously glanced at Song Ziqi.
Song Ziqi noticed Liu Pingcheng's gaze, he looked away silently, and asked a question from the soul: "We assume that this technology is real, but Commander, have you ever thought about how many men are willing to give birth? "
Since the birth of human beings, women have been responsible for reproduction and reproduction. In human thinking and cognition, it is natural for women to give birth, but now there is the technology of male reproduction...
Not to mention whether this technology is real, even if this technology is real, how many men can get pregnant without shame
"If you don't give birth, human beings will perish. In order to continue the human race, there are always people who are willing. In the past, there were no examples of male fertility, but there were no meteorites and mutated animals and plants in the past, and human beings in the past would not face it. In danger of extinction, they know how to choose."
Speaking of this, there is actually no need to continue with the next words.
If Zhou Qian'an really has this technology, it is not impossible to forgive him for what he did before.
The four of them had no objection to Qin Weisong leaving Qi Wang behind.

Night fell quickly, and the robot who took care of Qi Wang brought up today's food.
In fact, it is not appropriate to say that it is food. To be precise, what the robot sent up was a variety of nutrient solutions.
Perhaps it is because animals and plants have always been the ingredients of human diet in the past. After the meteorite came, the animals and plants mutated, and the mutated animals and plants not only changed in appearance, but also changed in taste—almost all animals and plants Plants have become very unpalatable and unpalatable.
If it weren't for the fact that there were enough food reserves before, and the artificially synthesized nutrient solution was born later, human beings would have perished long ago due to lack of food.
The body transformed by the robot has a sense of smell and taste, and the artificial stomach will also have a sense of hunger, which needs to be eaten to reduce this hunger.
Qi Wang tasted the nutrient solution, the taste was surprisingly good, after drinking it, he soon felt full.
After the hunger disappeared, Qi Wang didn't drink the nutrient solution anymore, he sent the robot down, and wanted to go out for a walk.
But when he expressed the idea of going out, the robots responsible for protecting him all stopped in front of him, preventing Qi Huang from leaving.
"Mr. Zhou, the commander has ordered you not to leave here without his permission. I hope you can understand us and don't leave here."
It seems that Qin Weisong's defense against him has never diminished. It is false to send these robots to take care of him, but it is true to look at him.
But they are all robots without their own thoughts, Qi Wang naturally will not embarrass them, since he is not allowed to go out, Qi Wang naturally did not mention the matter of going out.
After moving his hands and feet in the yard, Qi Huang took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and slowly returned to the bedroom.
This is the place where Zhou Qian'an once lived, and there are traces left by him everywhere. When Zhou Qian'an fled here in a hurry, many things were left unpacked, and the room looked a little messy.
After tidying up briefly, Qi Wang changed into a clean sheet and quilt, and lay down on the bed.
As a robot, Qi Wang doesn't feel tired, but it's rare to have leisure time. Qi Wang intends to use sleep to pass this boring time. After lying on the bed for a while, he fell into a deep sleep state.
***
"Ayan, why are you still awake?"
In the Yaoyang Base, Zhou Qian'an woke up from her sleep, and found that the bed beside her was empty, and the bedding beside her was cold. The owner had obviously left for a while.
Zhou Qian'an looked at the empty bed with a dazed expression on his face. He sat up slowly, put on a nightgown, and walked towards the balcony.
Just as he expected, Xie Yan was standing on the balcony smoking a cigarette. He didn't know how many cigarettes he had smoked, and there were cigarette butts all over his feet, and his body also smelled strongly of cigarettes.
Seeing Xie Yan's appearance, Zhou Qian'an couldn't help but feel anxious. He actually knew why Xie Yan was worried, and he also knew what Xie Yan was worried about when he stayed up all night.
But even if he knew, Zhou Qian'an still felt uncomfortable. The person who sent Qi Huang there was Xie Yan. He never asked Xie Yan to help him. It was Xie Yan who proposed it on his own initiative. Yan is like this again...
Zhou Qian'an felt very sad, but as a vested interest, he couldn't say anything else.
"Ayan, are you thinking about him?"
Xie Yan was stunned for a moment, and his expression was in a trance for a moment, but seeing Zhou Qian'an's appearance of crying, Xie Yan also felt very uncomfortable.
"Qian'an, don't think too much, I'm not sad because of him, it's just that there are a lot of things in the base recently, I'm a little worried, and it has nothing to do with him."
Zhou Qian'an pretended to be strong and smiled, but the smile was extremely bitter. He smiled and felt that he couldn't keep laughing, so he turned his head away, avoiding Xie Yan's gaze, and said in a low voice: "A Yan , if you regret it, then trade me for him, I understand, the relationship you have had for so many years is beyond my comparability, you have done so much for him, it is normal if you can’t let go... Just send me away."
