A week later, the news network finally released the most outrageous government notice of this century: requiring all citizens to report the replicas in their homes to the law enforcement agency. The federal government will record them one by one according to the original registration form, and finally take all the replicas away and randomly deport them to four fixed planets.
As soon as this notice came out, citizens of the entire Beihe system were in an uproar, followed by dissatisfaction and protests.
[Today the federal government can take away our replicas for no reason, tomorrow they can take us away directly. Citizens, raise your hands, don't be silent.]
[I second the motion. The federal government is really getting more and more outrageous. The matter of the two channels of the Enforcement Bureau has not been clarified before, and now they have directly confiscated our replicas. So ordinary citizens have no human rights?]
[Is this notice from the federal government intended to kill my son? My son was born with severe anemia and may need a replicator to supply blood at any time. Without a replicator, what will happen to my son?]
[Didn't Planet K say they had discovered viviparity? What happened? The federal government really didn't do anything. They didn't do what they should do, and they kept doing what they shouldn't do.]
[Minmin is my only relative, I will never allow anyone to take her away.]
[…]
Citizens were more united than ever before, leaving crazy messages on news networks and the federal government's official Star Network, strongly condemning the announcement and expressing their absolute unwillingness to obey it.
For citizens, replicas are their private property, and the federation has no right to deal with them, let alone confiscate them directly, which seriously infringes on their rights.
However, when the news network released the second notice, the citizens' anger was instantly interrupted.
The federal government stated that as long as the family handed over the replicator, they could then go to the law enforcement agency to get food that would allow them to give birth until the women in the family became pregnant.
To sum it up, it is very simple, that is, to use the replica person to replace the fetus method.
One is born with a genetic defect and can only be treated as a pet/toy/organ bank at home.
One is your own flesh and blood, the one you can watch grow up little by little, and the closest existence engraved in the history of the universe.
Moreover, the viviparous method is rare, and the replicator is not unable to continue to apply.
Therefore, except for those citizens who truly respected and cherished the replicators, most of the other citizens made what they thought was the best choice.
The Law Enforcement Bureau suddenly became the busiest place on every planet, and the citizens queuing up to hand in their replicas stretched for thousands of meters from the Law Enforcement Bureau.
The citizens who initially cursed the federal government have now changed their attitude and are finding various ways to praise the federal government on Starnet.
There are also people who queue from dusk to dawn, fearing that such a good thing will not happen to them.
At the same time, an announcement was made on the Star Network about the punishment of the Gao family and those citizens who violated federal laws and used replicas to serve instead of humans.
Federal laws do not favor anyone, and anyone who breaks the law will be dealt with according to the rules. All citizens involved in this matter will be expelled from the Northern Star System and become wanderers in the interstellar space.
Of course, the only outcome is death.
However, the son of that big boss, the senior who took the lead in this matter, inexplicably lost his name in this incident.
In this regard, Mingyue can only sigh: The federal government really doesn't hold you accountable.
Of course, at this time, Mingyue couldn't care about this, because many replicas of Star K were also preparing to leave.
With Qi Cheng around, everyone had already received the assignment list, and everyone was separated. Some stayed on Planet K, but more went to the other three planets.
Although everyone knew in their hearts that they would go their separate ways one day, when that day finally came, everyone was left with only reluctance.
They felt reluctant to leave their companions who they had been living with day and night, the base that they had built bit by bit from the empty land, or even the alien races that were no longer ferocious.
There were replicators who wanted to say something several times, just to tell everyone not to worry about the outside world and just live their own lives, and everyone should stay in the base. But seeing the determination on Mingyue's face and the orderly handover of work by other partners, the replicator's words got stuck in his throat, and he felt a deep sense of shame.
Just as Mingyue once said, as long as the replicants are not treated fairly, they will never be truly free.
So no one was unwilling to copy it anymore, and they all started to get busy.
At this moment, the base is harmonious and handovers are taking place everywhere.
There is a replicator who specializes in making food in the cafeteria. He teaches other replicators how to add seasonings and stir-fry, and passes on his own cooking experience.
There are replicants who specialize in playing with children, and they are talking to other replicants about how to coax children and how to make children like things.
Chengdong, the human in charge of the breeding farm, patted Ah Cheng's shoulder, feeling reluctant and melancholy. He couldn't help but mutter, "Ah Cheng, the farm affairs are now handed over to you. You must treat those aliens well. Oh, and one of the long-eared eagles is pregnant. She must be fed the freshest grass and placed in a separate trough to prevent other long-eared eagles from stepping on her."
Liu San also said: "There are also the big black aliens in the west area. They especially like to imitate us. You must not do anything bad, lest you teach them bad things."
He Zhi pointed to the front and said, "If the base wants to eat meat next, Dafei is the best choice, especially the one with a missing ear. It..."
As they talked one after another, Ah Cheng felt his head was full of confusion and circles formed in his eyes.
Ah Cheng couldn't help but interrupt them: "Okay, okay, stop talking for now. You said so much at once, I can't remember it all."
Zhou Qi, who was holding the child beside him, smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm still here after you leave. I'll talk to Ah Cheng slowly later."
However, the humans around him couldn't help but stare at him when they heard what he said.
Originally, the five-year service period had expired and these humans should have left long ago, but they were so happy in the base that they were reluctant to leave. They kept putting it off until now, and were finally ready to leave at the urging of their families.
Especially for Zhou Qi who is already married, this time he is leaving just to go back. After reporting to his family that he is safe, he will apply to work on K Star again. He plans to be a so-called supervisor of replicators so that he can take care of his wife and children nearby.
It was just that due to some of Qi Cheng's plans, the important job of supervisor never took real humans into consideration from the very beginning.
The reason Zhou Qi was able to come back as a supervisor was entirely because his wife was a replicant, and he also had a child with the replicant, so he was hired as an exception.
Of course, the other humans did not have this blessing, so they were truly jealous, envious and resentful of Zhou Qi.
However, as long as they thought that Zhou Qi was there, these aliens would receive the best care, the other people felt relieved.
You have to know that they have been in the base for such a long time, facing these aliens all day long, and they really have developed some feelings for them.
Of course, they also felt a sense of belonging to this base, and their views on the replicants changed greatly.
It’s a pity that all good things must come to an end.
