Chapter 5, Spaceship
"Doctor's degree," Tang Feng inadvertently sneered, "Your story is very captivating, truly, I was almost moved by it. However, it is quite unfortunate that there is a flaw in it. You said that all the data and all the personnel were eliminated, so how do you know this? Where did the so-called gene in your hand come from?"
Young people, please let me finish," Gael said calmly, not at all flustered, "the most interesting part is yet to come
"Why is it impossible?" Gael retorted, "Is it because Father said it is impossible?"
Tang Feng let out a cold laugh and raised his gun
Tang Feng fell silent. He did not know whether to trust the person before him or the infallible supercomputer. It is worth noting that Gale was a highly intelligent individual with an IQ of 180, and perhaps he was setting a trap for Tang Feng.
As they spoke, they came to a halt in front of a massive metal cabinet. Tang Feng examined the cabinet; he had seen such things before, resembling the refrigeration units found in morgues. Gail placed his hand on the handle, looking at Tang Feng.
"That corpse, is it the survivor you mentioned?" Tang Feng asked again as he looked at the freezer.
The air conditioning had dissipated. It was empty, with no one refrigerated inside. Tang Feng let out a sigh of relief, accompanied by a hint of disappointment. Gail carefully took out a small test tube from the empty drawer and examined it closely
At this point, Gale's eyes became somewhat moist. He began to wipe his glasses again
Tang Feng could not help but glance at the freezer
Everything you see now will change the fate of all humanity, are you ready
What happened?" Tang Feng asked, glancing at his watch casually
What do you want to show me?" After a long while, Tang Feng asked
"Is that survivor you mentioned in that bottle?" Tang Feng said with a mocking tone, "If so, I swear this is something only found in a fairy tale about a little kingdom."
Throughout these years, there has always been one person who has not given up on searching for the survivors, and that person is our father, the supercomputer that saved humanity. For a father who later personally destroyed the survivors, this cannot be anything but deeply ironic. Our father made diligent efforts to search the areas outside the protected zone, which, of course, required military and material support. Wandering outside the protected zone is extremely dangerous, as it is inhabited only by mad and deformed mutants, and it is often heard that mutants launch attacks, making sacrifice inevitable. Surprisingly, our father was exceptionally dedicated to this plan, searching from the vicinity of the protected zone to the outskirts, and then to even more distant areas. Over the years, it can be said that our father searched every corner of the Earth, and this action was indeed quite remarkable.
Regarding the existence of the survivors, the father concealed it from everyone. We only know that he conducted a series of experiments on the survivors. The results of these experiments were destroyed by the father, and it is now impossible to know what they were. Subsequently, this secret was preserved by the father
I do not believe it," Tang Feng said stubbornly
"Please follow me," Gael said, turning around and walking towards the core laboratory. "What you are about to see will be a miracle."
On the way back to the reserve, the last search team discovered something. To be precise, it was a wreckage, deeply buried underground. If it were not for the cataclysmic changes to the landscape caused by the disaster, they would not have found this wreckage. Thus, the curious search team stopped to study the wreckage, which was clearly an artificial object. After a brief examination, the search team was both excited and puzzled. The puzzlement stemmed from the fact that the wreckage was a spacecraft.
What has happened recently? What other conditions are needed?" Tang Feng asked, half in doubt
"Shh..." Gail placed a finger on her lips and whispered, "Don't speak, someone else is coming..."
The results remain disheartening. Almost everyone involved in this plan believed that my father was about to give up. However, as an incredibly wise father, he proposed an even bolder plan. Although I detest it, I cannot deny its brilliance. My father believes that if survivors cannot be found on Earth, we should search for them in the history of the planet. Such occurrences have happened before the great catastrophe; humans have discovered the bodies of prehistoric humans in the Antarctic Circle—note, these are bodies, not fossils. My father hopes to find something similar: a person frozen in ice or a less desiccated mummy... anything that could harbor stable human genes. Humanity's hope rests on a few strands of hair or some fur from a prehistoric individual, which is truly tragic.
"Please forgive me..." Gael sighed, took off his glasses, and rubbed them vigorously in resignation. Tang Feng noticed that his right eye was a prosthetic, indicating that Gael's genes had some degree of defect.
Alainini
Tang Feng nodded slightly. "I have time." He was confident that Gael could not escape his grasp; he was young, well-trained, strong, and armed, while Gael was merely an old man, utterly defenseless. Everything was under Tang Feng's control
Spaceship
I once wondered what to do. My father was unbelievable, and once I revealed this, my life would likely be in danger, and the genetic samples would be compromised, which made me hesitate for a long time. In the end, I made a risky decision to share this truth and the book with the members of my group. To my relief, the group members, being human as well, stood by my side; after all, humans are all the same. After discussion, we believed that we should first use the genes to create a complete human being. In the face of this undeniable fact, my father's crimes would be exposed without a doubt.

However, the conditions were not yet mature, so we endured until recently
"Do you think father would keep the survivors?" Gale retorted, "The supercomputer not only destroyed the data but also annihilated the survivors, leaving only this small remnant," he said, shaking the test tube in his hand, "the last few residual genes. In this sense, father, it has long since betrayed humanity."
Currently, there are no stable genes on Earth
Gail slowly opened the drawer of the freezer, and cold air rushed out, filling the entire room in an instant. Tang Feng felt a bit cold and involuntarily held his breath
How?
"Poor child," Gael looked at Tang Feng with a strange expression, "You have witnessed a miracle, yet you are about to let it slip by."
It is indeed very ... ... '' Tang Feng cannot find suitable words to describe it
"Yes, yes," Gael smiled and nodded, pleased that Tang Feng understood his meaning. "As I grew up, fragments of experiences that did not belong to me began to appear in my memory. By the time I reached adulthood, those fragments formed a complete memory, revealing to me the entirety of the events. It is truly ironic that my father eliminated those who were in the know, yet retained his genes; he could never have anticipated such an outcome."
Gail smiled melancholically, knowing that her time was limited
It is impossible. Unbeknownst to him, Tang Feng was drawn to Gail, as magical words continuously flowed from Gail's mouth
Gail's gaze was somewhat vacant, lost in memories of the past, and certain expressions of senility were evident on his aged face
We all know that the great catastrophe has damaged our genes; however, on the other hand, it has also caused certain mutations in our genes. Some mutations are harmful, while others are peculiar gifts. You may have noticed that one of my eyes is artificial. Indeed, my genes, like yours, have defects, but my primary mutation does not lie here. After eliminating all the informed individuals, my father used their genes to create new beings. This is quite absurd, yet in the sanctuary, everyone's genes are exploitable. You may have noticed that one of my eyes is artificial.

At this point, Gael glanced at Tang Feng. Tang Feng understood what he meant by hetushu .com .com; he was merely a killer of fathers, no wonder they all called Tang Feng a lackey.
Regaining stability amidst chaos requires only time
"Yes," Gael nodded, somewhat heavily. "That is the survivor. Although he has been dead for a long time, his genes are invaluable to humanity; one could say they are the genes of the surviving human. With our current level of scientific advancement, we can completely extract his genes and activate them. Perhaps, a true human could be born at any moment."
Father indeed found some similar items, and even extracted some eggs from a female corpse. However, no one anticipated the extent of the devastation caused by the catastrophe; all viable cells had been destroyed... As a result, there was still nothing to show for it. This time, even Father decided to give up and began new research, leading to the establishment of the Alpha Group. As far as I know, within the sanctuary, there are many research institutions similar to the Alpha Group making the same efforts, attempting to find stable genes from us, the unfortunate humans of the sanctuary.

As far as I know, within the sanctuary, there are many research institutions similar to the Alpha Group making the same efforts, attempting to find stable genes from us, the unfortunate humans of the sanctuary. Father's dream of taking shortcuts was completely shattered, and everything had to start over... Just when everyone, including Father, began to despair, an unexpected turn of events suddenly occurred.
The great disaster destroyed everything. My father, relying on his logic and ability to delay, foresaw this terrible calamity and made ample preparations. However, it is unclear where things went wrong, or if the destructive power of the disaster exceeded my father's expectations. In any case, the survivors who entered the shelter early were also harmed, their genes damaged, and they could only struggle to survive. Once the disaster ended, the first question that concerned the most people was whether there were any other survivors. The search and rescue plan was immediately implemented and launched. Soon, increasingly disappointing news came from all directions: not a single survivor's genes were stable; all living beings on Earth had not escaped this apocalyptic judgment, including humans. Most perished, and those who were fortunate enough to survive had their genes damaged, leading humanity to despair.
The main topic will soon be addressed. Life must continue, and thus, the reserve was established, growing ever larger. Humanity began to harbor some faint hopes, aspiring to research solutions for genetic disorders. Gradually, the plan to search for survivors was forgotten; it seemed that the most pressing issue was to rebuild the existing remnants of human society, along with stabilizing the genes... Many years later, after countless efforts and sacrifices, the plan to search for survivors was gradually forgotten; it seemed that the most urgent matter was to construct the remaining human society and stabilize the genes... Many years later, after countless efforts and sacrifices... the reserve finally took on its current form, resembling a grotesque model of human society before the great disaster, which is truly laughable... However, compared to the mutants wandering outside the reserve, we are indeed quite fortunate...
This is impossible, Tang Feng said
"Are you saying ... ... " Tang Feng said somewhat hesitantly
Tang Feng felt his lips were somewhat dry, and he moved his mouth slightly, yet did not interrupt Gael's narration
Later, I became a member of the Alpha Group and served as the executive leader of the fourth team. I knew that my mission was to expose my father's conspiracy; however, I had no evidence, and anyone would consider me insane. Nevertheless, I possessed one lethal weapon. Before the search team was eliminated, I secretly preserved a sample of a survivor's genes, hidden among the thousands of experimental gene banks of the Alpha Group. I remembered the sample's number; genes are truly remarkable, capable of transmitting such detailed information to the next generation. Thus, I found the gene sample and conducted experiments on it alone. Indeed, it was pure human DNA that had not been contaminated.
Recently, just as Gael was about to speak, something suddenly caught his attention. He closed his mouth and listened intently.
We are too dependent on our father, just as we rely on our true father. Unfortunately, this all-powerful half-electronic, half-biological computer is not our real father; it is merely our adoptive father
"I apologize, but please allow me to interrupt," Tang Feng said coldly. "Anyone in the reserve knows this history; there is no need for you to remind us."
At this moment, Tang Feng was indeed feeling somewhat hesitant, beginning to believe some of the incredible things that Gael had mentioned. If, in this freezer, there truly was a survivor, a person in the truest sense, what should he do? Should he trust his father or the members of the Alpha team? Tang Feng struggled to resist this wavering; if he could not trust his father, how could the people in the shelter face the future? No, his father was absolutely correct; he had once powerfully protected the flame of humanity when it faced the threat of extinction, a fact universally acknowledged and unchangeable. Tang Feng believed that his father was indeed his father, a supercomputer that would never make a mistake.
"Be careful, it's very messy, and watch out not to touch anything," Gael advised as he walked ahead. The haphazardly placed instruments divided the spacious laboratory into narrow pathways. Gael, with his slightly plump figure, skillfully navigated through the instruments, while Tang Feng made an effort to keep up with him, not wanting him to disappear from his sight
The game is over, the doctor's degree, procrastination cannot help you escape
Later, my father conducted a comprehensive examination of the corpse, and the results were exhilarating; as people had hoped, the survivor's genes were intact, perhaps protected by the hull of that *Tush* spaceship. However, the most unexpected event occurred. After confirming the survivor's genes, my father abruptly shut down the entire project, erased all the data, destroyed the survivor's body, and then the secret slaughter began, ensuring that all those in the know were eliminated
Diary of the Seventh Observation Station on Earth
Gail noticed Tang Feng's somewhat impatient demeanor and immediately waved his hand, continuing to speak
The origins of the matter can be traced back to shortly after the great disaster had just ended. Gail placed the test tube back into the freezer and closed it. "If you could be a little patient, I will tell you the truth in its entirety, a truth different from what your father has told you."
It is not that simple, Gale shook his head and said
Gail turned back with a smile, somewhat bittersweet
"The first to discover the survivors was not us, but our father," Gale said without turning his head.
Did you later find the survivors? Tang Feng asked
Yes, the spaceship. A spaceship that has been severely damaged, yet its engine contours and smooth exterior can still be discerned. Clearly, this spaceship encountered an accident and unfortunately crashed to the ground, but the era of its fall is quite strange. According to isotopic carbon dating, the soil surrounding the spaceship is from a long time ago, at a time when humanity had just begun to understand the use of gunpowder
This statement was also mentioned by the search team. Of course, the news was sent back to the protected area at the first opportunity. While waiting for support from the protected area, the search team began attempting to open the still-closed hatch of the spacecraft. What excited the search team was that they discovered a body inside that strange spacecraft, a human body
The entire event is inexplicable. Why, in that ignorant era, did such advanced aircraft already exist? That spacecraft could not even be constructed with today's technology; the search team expended tremendous effort just to open a hole in the unknown hard metal exterior. Why was the pilot of that spacecraft a human? Undoubtedly, it was a human, a real person. Although a long time had passed, the body inside, isolated from the air, had not decayed, only exhibiting slight swelling. For the search team, it was akin to discovering a vast treasure. Finally, the rescue team arrived, and they carefully transported the body back to the protected area, with the entire matter being conducted in secrecy.
Tang Feng followed closely behind Gael, his pistol still aimed at the back of Gael's head, ready to pull the trigger at the slightest movement.
They passed by some complex machines, with various transparent and opaque tubes scattered on the ground, intertwined, and the flickering indicator lights suggested that everything here was functioning normally. For some reason, everything here reminded Tang Feng of the term "hospital".
