The research has entered the experimental stage, and Lu Qiu is really nervous.
"We, can we follow up and take a look?" she asked.
Even if she was nervous, she was still very curious. She didn't know what was the principle behind the transformation of animals into humans.
Felix pondered for a while and said, "It needs to be kept secret."
"Don't worry, I don't want to die yet."
Lu Qiu didn't want the news to be leaked, and he became a Tang monk and was scrambled by everyone.
After getting the consent of Felix, Lu Qiu and Wells were connected to a small flying machine.
The aircraft is arranged like a small black house, so you can't connect to the Internet or see the outside world, and you can't feel where you are going.
Lu Qiu grabbed Wells' claws in his hands and pinched it on the meat pad like a toy.
Wells finally relaxed recently, probably because the palace was heavily guarded, he no longer held Lu Qiu in chains, and even occasionally allowed her to go out alone to find Modes, of course, he had to say hello in advance.
His eyes also slowly returned to normal, returning to the amber color they used to be, but the color was no longer as clear as before, it was a dark reddish brown-amber color.
Originally, Lu Qiu thought that coming to the Capital Star would be good, and he had used eye drops for several days, but it was still useless. Lu Qiu hurriedly took him to the best hospital in the capital for a check-up. Later, he found out that it was not conjunctivitis, but tension.
When the negative emotions of anger, nervousness and anxiety appear, his eyes become bloodshot and red. It doesn't affect vision.
The aircraft traveled for about twenty minutes and stopped.
There is only one elevator to go down. After entering the elevator and falling 20 floors, he appeared in an empty and pure white room. Like doctors entering an operating room, they are required to sterilize their bodies, then put on sterile gear and wrap them from head to toe.
This equipment is like a big bubble ball specially prepared for aquatic animals.
Lu Qiu was small, and was assigned a small ball. The ball was actually connected to the terminal. A floating control panel that was invisible to the outside world would appear in front of him to control the speed, front and rear, left and right.
Wells's was a big round ball, and Lu Qiu controlled his ball to float on his back, two balls on top of each other, and entered the laboratory like this.
The entire laboratory is very large and divided into many areas.
When Felikin told them about the progress of the experiment, he had already found some animals for clinical trials.
This is a small spiny rat. Rats are a huge group, and there are countless wise rats, and most of them are quite intelligent. Special genes in the body account for 20%, which is already very high.
This spiny rat was a specially recruited volunteer.
There are also five who came here like him. They are all of different races, and the special gene segments in their bodies are also different. The highest one is a monkey, which is as high as forty-five.
In the huge operating room, a dozen researchers were busy surrounded by various auxiliary medical robots. The experimental subjects were very lethargic due to anesthesia and knew nothing about what was going on in their bodies.
Lu Qiu and Wells stood in front of the transparent glass wall and watched the progress inside.
When they came over, the experiment had come to an end. Lu Qiu didn't know medicine, and he couldn't see what they had done. He only saw that they had put a special cover around the spiny mouse, and the stereo projection next to it could be seen. Seeing the situation inside the hood, all kinds of fine needles stick out from the hood and stick to the spiky rat, and something is injected into his body along the needle.
The images on the projection changed, and they all turned into honeycomb-like bubbles next to each other, and these bubbles seemed to change slowly and quickly.
It seems that this is the key to everything.
But she couldn't understand it at all, and felt that this scene was a little hard to accept.
Wells sensed her emotions and took her away from the place with the little ball on his back.
Out of the lab, Wells put her down.
"Is it better?"
Lu Qiu nodded: "What will you say in the future... as well?"
Wells shook his head: "I don't know. Don't think about it so much, it's just a preliminary experiment, and it's still a long way from success."
Think about it, how can it be so easy to succeed, it has been waiting for thousands of years.
However, she confirmed that she is really human, and even if it fails temporarily, the project will eventually succeed.
I just don't know if the legendary human here is of the same race as her.
After coming out of the experimental area, Felix was sitting in the rest area chatting with a researcher at some point.
Wells took Lu Qiu over, and the researcher was talking eloquently when he heard what Felix was asking.
"... The current behavior is equivalent to changing the genes, so that the human genes and the original genes can be balanced and stable, and then the human and animal shapes can be changed at will. However, changing the genes is not a simple matter, and I can't tell you what the consequences will be. The exact answer. It is possible that he has an extra claw and a tail, or lacks ears and eyes. Or when he transforms into a humanoid, he still retains the animal-shaped ears, tail, and claws. Maintaining the human head. These are uncontrollable, and we can only do our best to do it now. As for the results of the first batch of experimental subjects, we will not be able to see it until tomorrow morning at the earliest."
When Lu Qiu came over, she was hearing these words, thinking about the very popular cat-eared beast girl in her previous life, and then looking at Wells, she couldn't help but want to have a nosebleed.
Kind of cute.
But another hypothesis is very low san value, the beast-shaped human face is really like watching a horror movie, which is somewhat unacceptable.
I don't know if the current experiment is a gene editing technology. I remember that there was a gene editing baby incident in a previous life, and then the whole project was called off. Now that medicine is so advanced, there should not be too many accidents.
Felix nodded at the researcher and warned, "I hope to see the results as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, we also want to produce results earlier." After speaking, the researcher left.
Felix raised his paw and pointed to the position next to him, motioning them to sit down.
"Read it? How do you feel?" He asked casually.
Wells sat with his back paws stretched out, and his front paws held Lu Qiu firmly in his arms. He didn't speak when he heard that.
This is the first time that the cat has given birth to sit alone next to the titular father and have a normal conversation with him.
However, Lu Qiu replied seriously: "The process is very complicated. I don't know if the steps can be simplified in the future. Otherwise, it will be a very, very big project to convert all the animals in the entire empire into human beings." After all, the entire empire has over 10 billion beasts. mouth.
Felik laughed loudly: "You are right, you really need to simplify the steps, and I will study this carefully in the future."
As he said that, he looked at Lu Qiu with concern and said, "How have you been living here recently? Are you still used to it?"
"It's pretty good, it's very prosperous and lively, and the food is good." Lu Qiu nodded and replied naturally.
Although he knew in his heart that this was the king of the entire empire, and that every animal he saw would be respectful and fearful, but in Lu Qiu's eyes, this was just a majestic big cat.
So she didn't have the respect and fear that other animals had when facing Felix, and she could talk to him casually.
"As long as you like it." He pondered, looking at Wells on the side, "I used to ignore Welles' growth so much that he suffered a lot. In fact, he is very good and smart, and he is very good at learning everything. Hurry up. You will be by his side in the future. If he has any bad temper, you should include more. As long as you have a good time and are happy, you can come to me if you encounter any problems. "
As soon as Wells mentioned himself, Mao began to explode slowly.
He interrupted Felix: "I don't need you to worry about my affairs, and it's not your turn to worry about it." Only he was the least qualified to say these words.
Lu Qiu saw that his eyes were a little red, turned his head and hugged him, smoothing his hair gently.
The problem between the father and son could not be solved in a few sentences, and Lu Qiu never thought of persuading Wells to accept the father.
Because she is also very annoyed by the actions of this majesty sometimes, how can she do this to her father.
But in the face of the entrustment, she still nodded seriously: "Don't worry about this, even if you don't say it, we will be fine."
Felix sighed lightly and watched Wells slowly calm down. He leaned on his head on Lu Qiu's head, acting like a coquettish cat. He felt faintly that he was stuffed with a big mouthful of cat food, and he choked in panic. .
He had seen the details of their relationship when watching Modes's live broadcast. Now that he is facing it directly, he somewhat understands why Modes's expression is always difficult to say.
He blinked and said to Lu Qiu, "Have you thought about settling in Capital Star?"
Lu Qiu was surprised for a moment, and Wells instantly tightened his arms and glared at him.
Lu Qiu shook his head: "Although Capital Star is very good, convenient and prosperous, and has many friends, I still prefer Juyan Star. Thank you for your kindness. If you have the opportunity, you can also come to Juyan Star to live there, where the scenery is very good, the air is good, the water and soil are good. It’s also very suitable for retirement.”
As soon as he heard the word pension, Felix coughed uncomfortably.
Wells' arms also slackened, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
Lu Qiu's stab was really a place.
Felik tried to maintain a kind expression: "Okay, I'll talk about it when I have a chance. I still have official business, so I'll leave first. You guys also go back early."
After speaking, it disappeared like a gust of wind.
Lu Qiu waved at his back: "Okay, Your Majesty walk slowly, Goodbye Your Majesty."
After Felix left, Wells held Lu Qiu in front of him, looked her in the eyes and asked, "Do you really want to stay in Capital Star?"
Lu Qiu nodded: "Of course it's true, the pace of life in the capital star is too fast, there are too many animals, and it's very noisy, I still prefer the giant rock star, I want to go to the sea to see it, the last time I didn't succeed in diving, wait for this Next time we go back, let's buy some big bubbles and go see dolphins!"
Wells didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "That's a diving device, not a big bubble."
"It's a big bubble!" Lu Qiu stared at him.
Wells immediately said: "Okay, Big Bubble, I'll place an order now and buy a few more."
"No, one person is enough."
Although it was so agreed, no one knew when they would be able to go back.
They didn't stay in the laboratory much, and they were soon taken out again by the aircraft.
Early the next morning, Lu Qiu actively asked Felix about the conditions of those experimental subjects yesterday.
Felix sent a video, and saw the spiky rat struggling frantically on the hospital bed in the early morning, scratching its fur with its claws, and soon, a hairless arm grew out of his armpit.
This arm already had the shadow of a human arm, and then the hair on his body began to slowly disappear as if it was hidden in the body, and soon turned into a hairless rat, and his face changed accordingly.
However, when his face was halfway through, all the changes suddenly stopped, and the squirrel was stuck in a terrifying appearance.
The process of change seemed painful, and the spiny rat kept screaming.
The other animals did the same, but none of them were successful.
The best is the monkey. No extra organs have grown, but most of the hair has retreated, and the upper limbs have become slightly shorter.
Lu Qiu looked at it with a heavy heart.
"Can they change back?"
"Still waiting, maybe yes, maybe not."
The experimenter conducted a second experiment on several experimental subjects, and the animal body changed again.
This time, the spiny rat's new arms grew out perfectly, and his face became more and more like a human inferred from the data center, but his tail and ears were still there, and he could only crawl and could not walk upright.
Several experimental subjects are changing every day, just like a sculpture, changing to a human being every day, slowly, slowly.
Lu Qiu looked at the video he received and felt like he was watching an evolutionary history of the evolution of animals to humans.
However, these videos are not saved, and they are automatically destroyed after playing once.
In this way, more than two months passed, and the hottest weather passed. Lu Qiu saw that several trees in the palace began to turn yellow.
Before she knew it, it had been almost three months since she and Wells came to Capital Star, and the time had also been from early summer to autumn.
I haven't been back for so long, and I don't know what's going on at home.
Wells was really in a panic, and started to run out.
He used to stare at Lu Qiu to sleep at night, but now he goes out at night and doesn't come back until dawn.
Lu Qiu didn't know it at first, but he woke up in the middle of the night and found that he was not there until he found that there was nothing around him.
As soon as she woke up, Wells found out, and sent her a message directly, saying that she was busy outside and would not be back until early in the morning.
Lu Qiu slept in a daze until early in the morning. When I asked him the next day, he said that he wanted to expand his business. He used to be a prosperous food business, and he was almost the first in the industry. Now he wants to think about the development of other industries.
As long as the research project is successful, there will be a large number of adult animals in the future, and there are many things that people need to be different from being animals. The simplest thing, such as clothes, absolutely must buy new ones.
Wells was still inspired by Lu Qiu and now decides to invest in the clothing industry.
Of course, his selfish intention was to make Lu Qiu wear new clothes and underwear every day.
Lu Qiu now borrowed Modes' costume designer to make some fitting underwear, and now he finally doesn't have to wear the old shabby homemade clothes.
The one she brought over during her time travel was completely unwearable after the kidnapping incident, so she kept it on the shelf as a souvenir.
After listening to Wells talking about what he was doing, Lu Qiu couldn't help but looked at him with admiration for a long time.
This is really too business-minded, and he is indeed a domineering president, with a very accurate vision.
Wells raised his chest proudly.
What he didn't tell Lu Qiu was that when he let these designers who were recruited at sky-high prices to design clothes, all the models used Lu Qiu.
After the clothes are designed, they will be provided to him for a review first, and he will pass the final decision when he thinks it is ok, and wait for the production. In order to perfectly show the effect of the clothes, it will be passed along with the projection of the model.
So every day Wells can harvest a lot of cute Qiuqiu wearing different clothes and different hairstyles and accessories.
It's like playing some special dress up game.
He took a lot of photos of Lu Qiu every day while she was not paying attention, and also harvested many dress-up dolls Qiu with different expressions and different actions.
If Lu Qiu saw it, she would probably think of a certain game named Nuan.
Just when Lu Qiu was getting ready to spend next year, Felix gave her another good news because he couldn't be caught.
"There is an experimental subject, and it was successful."
Because the human being deduced by Lu Qiu and the data center simulation was used as a reference, Lu Qiu, the original human being, was asked to go to the experimental base as soon as the experiment was successful.
Wells was still sleeping, and he didn't go home after sending Lu Qiu to class, he just found a corner in the school's monitoring room and fell asleep.
After Lu Qiu received the news, he didn't even have time to clean up his things, so he went straight to the monitoring room and threw himself into Wells' arms.
Wells was in a daze, and after noticing her breath, he didn't open his eyes, raised his claws and pulled her to his belly.
"get out of class?" he asked in a low voice.
Lu Qiu struggled for a while, and said excitedly, "No, good news, the experiment was successful! We're going to go now!"
Wells opened his eyes instantly, rolled over, hugged her, and flew out.
As soon as they flew above the palace, a familiar aircraft approached.
Boarded the aircraft and came to the laboratory again, this time the whole laboratory was busy. Each researcher had a look of delight on his face.
After going back and forth for so long, failing countless times, and now finally succeeding.
Even if you don't know how long the state will last, as long as you succeed once, there will be a second and third time until the state is stable.
Wells and Lu Qiu changed into sterile suits and entered the sealed laboratory. Felix was already there. He left all official business and even postponed an important meeting, and rushed over.
The first one to successfully become a human was the monkey with the most stable state.
Unlike the giant Lu Qiu imagined, he was not very tall, only a little over two meters tall. He has brownish-yellow hair, and the color of the hair and pupil remains the same.
His eyes are large, with deep-set eyes, his nose is narrow and not straight enough, his lips are tightly pursed, and he is a little long in person. The limbs are slender and the soles of the feet are wide and thick. It retains some monkey features, but not many. At first glance, it is already a standard human male.
It's just that his back is not consciously bowed. After a researcher tapped him on the back, he struggled to stand up straight. He looked nervously at the researchers who were staring at him.
"Can I talk?" Felix asked.
The monkey nodded and opened his mouth, his voice was stiff and not very fluent: "Yes, yes."
The timbre has not changed much from before, and it can be heard that it is the same.
Lu Qiu jumped out of Wells' arms and stood beside this new human.
The eyes of all the experimenters turned left and right on the two of them.
From the looks of it, it's almost a success.
"Finger, grab something and try." A researcher brought a ball over.
The monkey youth easily took it in his hands and played with it, and then shook his left and right hands.
However, the monkey's five fingers are quite flexible, so it's not a problem to do this.
"Can I still climb trees? With my fingernails gone, it should be difficult to climb trees."
The monkey youth looked at the room from side to side. There was no place to climb, but he still grabbed the wall and tried it. It was really difficult. Without the help of nails, he could only use his fingers to exert force.
But it has little effect.
A big smile appeared on Felix's face, and he arranged for researchers to give him a comprehensive physical examination to check his current physical condition, cell activity, and bone density.
After the test and play, he will continue to test his physical fitness and compare it with the data when he was an animal.
Felix is very satisfied with everything. The only thing he is not satisfied with is his height. The monkey was originally tall, but it has shrunk a lot after becoming a human. It's strange, he doesn't know if this is a kind of mistake.
Several researchers said: "The human body is not the same as the animal body. The bone density and muscle density have changed, so it will become much smaller. Most animals should be proportionally smaller."
Hearing this sentence, Lu Qiu finally let go of his dangling heart.
This time, you don't have to worry too much about the huge difference in height between her and Wells. Wells is a little shorter than a monkey. It is estimated that the height of a human being is only a few meters tall, and a height of 1.9 meters is perfect.
Of course, she would be more perfect if she could grow to 1.7 meters.
"How are the other experiments now?"
"The other few were unsuccessful and still retain the characteristics of ears, tails, and claws." The researcher said regretfully, "This is already the limit, and they can no longer continue the experiment."
"Why is this?"
"They have fewer special genes in their bodies, and the characteristics of the original genes are more obvious and cannot be completely changed, otherwise unknown changes will occur." It is more likely to become a monster.
Judging from such results, the experiments on these animals were not completely unsuccessful, but were still successful in a sense.
Restricted by innate conditions, their road to becoming human stopped here, and no matter how much they can do, they can't improve.
Lu Qiu could already predict how many more orcs with beast ears, tails, noses, claws and claws would emerge in the future.
She touched her nose and there was no nosebleed.
In fact, it is not a bad thing to keep these characteristics.
Lu Qiu asked curiously, "Then can you change back to an animal form after becoming a human? How to change it, does it require special conditions, or can it be changed at will?"
"Yes, but it takes time. Now it can be maintained for twelve hours, not more than twenty-four hours. During this period, once emotional or too stimulated, it will return to the shape of a beast. Unstable and stable methods are still being studied."
Lu Qiu nodded, being able to change freely. Isn't this world really about to become an orc world
This is too, too surprising!
Seeing her strange expression, Wells pulled her back to his side and asked Felix and the researchers.
"When will it be officially promoted?"
"There will be three more rounds of clinical trials. After the three rounds, it is confirmed that the existing method is stable, and it will be expanded on a small scale before large-scale promotion. According to the existing animal mouth, it is expected that all animals will be completed within ten years. A big change."
This project involves an unknown number of years in the future. We must be cautious. We have to check the results of multiple clinical experiments. All the participating laboratory personnel do not want problems. in a history textbook.
Wells pursed his lips, as if determined to move suddenly: "In the next round of experiments, I want to participate as an experimental subject."
