It turned out to be a discussion at a federal officials' meeting regarding the replicants, which was actually filmed and published on Starnet.
Whether it was the word "fools" that the officials used with sarcasm on their faces, or the fact that the new generation of humans were not as good as replica humans, or the officials' profit-seeking way of enforcing the law, all made the citizens feel that they were fooled by these officials and were extremely angry.
There are discussions about this matter everywhere on the Internet, and the federal government’s official website has been criticized to pieces.
[No wonder the new generation of humans don’t have the powerful genes of replicators. It turns out that the materials used by the new generation are not as good as those of replicators. This is really the biggest joke in history.]
[If those people in the Federation hadn't only thought about profit and had allowed the replicas to merge with the new generation, the physical fitness of humans would have evolved long ago, right? Our future has been ruined by these people.]
[The federal government is heartless and has deceived us for so many years. Those officials are all liars and should step down.]
[Ah, it turns out that the replicas are the same as us, but we have never taken them seriously. Instead, we caused them to go back to the original planet. We really deserve to die. Of course, the officials deserve the most.]
[It’s all these officials’ fault. They actually wanted to kill Mingyue. They are so cruel (Mingyue’s fans praised me and sent me to the top).]

As the matter became more and more popular, a citizen posted a message on the Starnet saying #The biggest lie in human interstellar history#, comparing and summarizing the replica humans and the new generation of humans, which attracted the attention and response of all citizens.
Qi Cheng browsed the comments on Starnet, with surprise flashing in his eyes from time to time. He really didn't expect Mingyue to be able to predict the future.
Although he was the one who posted this footage on Starnet, it was Mingyue who told him that if the replica channel was destroyed, those officials would definitely say something in panic, so he had better find a way to preserve the evidence.
It was precisely because he listened to Mingyue's words that this video was shot that shocked the citizens of the Beihe system.
Before the video was sent out, he knew that it would definitely attract the attention of all mankind and completely change their attitude and opinion towards the replicants, but the result seemed to be better than he imagined.
Because while citizens felt sorry for the replicants, they were actually clamoring for the federal government officials involved in the talks to step down.
The officials who participated in the conversation that day were basically from the highest level of government, including the most powerful group of people in the entire federation.
But you have to know that federal officials are actually elected by citizens, which means that the opinions of citizens can indeed influence the positions of officials.
Qi Cheng, who spoke fair words for the replicator, became the biggest winner in this verbal abuse and the only official recognized by the citizens.
Of course, this also made him the object of suspicion by other officials.
What all the officials couldn't understand was that Qi Cheng was the Attorney General of the human race and had reaped a lot of benefits from the Integration Institute over the years. He had no reason to stand on the side of the replicators.
Unfortunately, these officials did not know that the real Chief Prosecutor Qi had died long ago, and the current Chief Prosecutor Qi was a replica. Their bonuses were directly issued to the real Qi Cheng, and the current Qi Cheng did not know about this at all.
It was precisely because of the information gap that although the officials had some suspicions about Qi Cheng, they were not sure, so naturally they did not take action against Qi Cheng. Then Qi Cheng seized the opportunity and wiped them out.
Qi Cheng specifically sought Mingyue's opinion on whether or not to take action.
Mingyue's answer at that time was: "Of course we choose to take them down. Opportunities are rare and will never come back. Although now is not the best time to take action, there may not be a better time in the future."
Qi Cheng didn't know why, although Mingyue was much younger than him, every time he listened to her words, he always felt like he had been enlightened.
Therefore, he chose to mobilize all his men without hesitation to attack the defenseless federal officials. Even when they were pointed at by a group of law enforcement officers with particle guns, the officials were still somewhat dazed.
"Qi Cheng, what are you doing? Are you crazy?"
The person who was speaking was the Minister of Finance who was in charge of the Integration Institute and was also a well-known money bag of the federal government. In the Northern River System where everyone was slender and well-proportioned, he was the only one who looked plump and had a big belly.
The director of the Emergency Management Bureau nearby reacted, looked at Qi Cheng with certainty and said, "It was you. It was you who destroyed the replica channel, it was you who took the ratio table, and it was you who released the meeting video."
After saying this, he couldn't help but reveal a puzzled expression on his face: "But why? Qi Cheng, I can't think of a reason why you do this?"
After hearing what the director of the administration said, the other officials looked at Qi Cheng in surprise and disbelief, their eyes also filled with confusion.
Yes, why? He is obviously a beneficiary, why would he destroy his own future
If you want to keep the benefits for yourself, there is no need to blow up the replica channel.
They would never guess the reason, because the seemingly righteous Chief Prosecutor Qi had never told anyone that he was a sadist in private, nor had he ever said that he had a replica who looked exactly like him.
However, Qi Cheng had no intention of answering their questions.
"Whatever you say, I just want to tell you that I will take over the Federation from now on. As for you," Qi Cheng sneered without sincerity and said, "Don't worry, I won't take your lives right away. I have other arrangements."
He also wants to use them to establish his authority in the federal government and appease public anger, which will be of great use.
A group of officials who used to be high and mighty now only knew how to curse Qi Cheng in frustration.
However, Qi Cheng was not angry at all, because he was not Qi Cheng. One day, he would restore his name and identity, and stand openly on the main star under the eyes of all citizens.
And he believed that this day was not far away.
After watching his men take those officials away, Qi Cheng contacted Mingyue.
Even though Qi Cheng knew that Mingyue was having a live broadcast, he still wanted to be the first to share this good thing with her.
And every time when facing Qi Cheng's contact, Mingyue was always very cautious and never let other replicas get close to her, let alone being photographed by Kankan's micro camera, so she felt at ease when he contacted her.
