Science has always been a double-edged sword.
On Aqua Star, technology has advanced to the point where it is truly possible to Clone Bodies. However, cloning technology, much like atomic technology, can both benefit humanity and bring about endless harm.
The essence of people's fear lies in the misinterpretation of this technology and the ethical and human rights issues surrounding it.
A Clone Body can only replicate genetic traits; it cannot connect memories as many ordinary people imagine. The scenario of cloning a "leader" to create multiple copies that could spark a third world war is simply impossible.
The most critical factor affecting the development of cloning technology is the ethical dilemma. Many people wish to use cloning to create children, but what they are actually producing is a "twin brother or sister" of themselves.
This raises countless ethical questions. For instance, if a man's cells are used to Clone a Body, how would his child or descendants refer to this newborn?
They might call it a brother, but the Clone Body possesses exactly the same genes as the man, looks identical to him, and may even share certain physical habits.
However, this is Morent, an independent kingdom that appears democratic and civilized but is still ruled by various Extended Families.
Many people's views on Clone Bodies are not much different from those extreme ideologies of the past; they completely regard Clone Bodies as "objects" rather than "humans."
In simple terms, they believe that Clone Bodies are not human but merely a species that resembles humans, akin to robots or androids in science fiction films.
As a result, many high-ranking officials can promote cloning experiments without any moral burden, treating humans as test subjects and viewing Clone Bodies as having the same status as White Mice—something that can be freely Transacted or even placed on the Dissection Table.
The day after conducting preliminary inquiries, Xiar returned to the Central Laboratory, a mysterious place he thought he would have to sneak into in the future.
Of course, as a standard newcomer, he did not have the qualifications to directly engage in related experiments; his work was limited to organ cultivation and transplantation.
He donned a white coat like a lead surgeon, wearing a mask and holding a sharp scalpel as he performed various cutting and dissection tasks.
Xiar was dissecting a peculiar creature that could be classified as a rodent, closely related to mice. Its entire body was purple with dark purple spots scattered across it.
It had a pair of large cyan ears nearly the length of its body and a single black poisonous horn on its head. Its back featured three rows of venomous spines.
This creature was highly toxic; the venom from its sacs was often used as experimental material for antidote research and was quite common in laboratories as an Experimental Subject.
At this moment, Xiar's task involved using the organ that secretes antitoxic substances within its body to extract a special material intended as the main ingredient for creating a certain potion.
His knowledge of pharmacology had already reached master level; he keenly realized that these substances were not meant for healing but were instead used for cultivating resistance to toxins.
If all goes well, this is precisely the material used to enhance the toxicity resistance of the Ultimate Evolution Body!
After humans complete Evolution, their physique, strength, and all attributes will increase significantly, boosting their resistance to various toxins, diseases, and harsh environments. Their healing ability after injuries will also soar.
In the future scene that Xiar saw, after Leslie completed Super Evolution, she could even jump into lava for a bath, and regenerating severed limbs was as easy as eating and drinking!
Generally speaking, warriors with an Ultimate Evolution Body who have completed Evolution will experience a tremendous increase in overall power, surpassing the combat strength of an Ultimate Warrior.
This is because not only do their physical attributes and strength surge, but they are also covered by a layer of protection similar to Guardian Spirit Light. This layer adheres closely to their skin's surface.
In the early stages, it merges with the skin, but once Ultimate Evolution is completed, it completely separates to become an all-encompassing defense like Guardian Spirit Light, far exceeding the defensive strength of Ultimate Form.
Therefore, in the early stages, Evolved Warriors may still suffer damage from weapons like swords and various toxic attacks.
Thus, enhancing their survival rate as much as possible in the early stages has become the main focus of research at the academy.
Human Super Evolution has been proposed for decades but has only resulted in the creation of a simple and violent Evolution Potion that allows individuals to complete Evolution. However, the side effects are terrifying, and the mortality rate remains high...
Xiar was located in a relatively large laboratory, larger than a typical classroom, working alongside more than a dozen other researchers.
Time flowed quickly amidst the busyness; the laboratory was filled only with the faint sounds of various tools without any idle chatter.
Until a clear bell rang out, signaling mealtime. A group of people quickly tidied up and left their posts to head to the cafeteria.
The Central Laboratory spans four football fields and resembles a large domed gymnasium. Four-fifths of its main structure is underground.
The entire laboratory is divided into two floors above ground and nine below. Access to levels six and below is restricted for ordinary researchers; one must have appropriate permissions to enter.
On the ground floor is an exceptionally luxurious cafeteria where various delicious dishes can be found, including meats from many rare and powerful creatures, as well as nourishing items available for purchase.
Moreover, prices are one-third of what they are outside, making it an excellent benefit for food lovers in the laboratory.
Xiar simply ordered a pound of roasted Spiked Back Dragon meat, cheese-baked crocodile, Emperor Manta Ray slices, assorted chicken, and a juice before leaving the ordering window with a large plate of food. After scanning his surroundings, he sat down at an empty seat.
With the linear enhancement of his Four-Dimensional Attributes, Xiar felt that his appetite had also increased significantly. However, compared to the person sitting across from him, it still seemed somewhat lacking.
Sitting across from him was a girl with golden hair, snow-white soft skin, and emerald green eyes. In front of her lay a stack of empty plates that amounted to three times his own portion!
"Hi, hello?" Xiar greeted with a smile.
However, the other person showed no sign of acknowledgment. He continued to eat his food elegantly, resembling a graceful noble dining at a banquet, contrasting sharply with the way the other person was devouring their meal.
Just as he was enjoying his food, he suddenly felt a burning gaze upon him. He looked up in surprise and asked, "Hello, is there something you need?"
He took a bite of Grilled Dragon Meat, made from a cultivated creature similar to a Dinosaur. It was delicious and chewy, truly a supreme delicacy.
The girl did not respond; she continued to stare at him, specifically fixated on the roasted meat in his hand.
Xiar smiled in astonishment and offered her a skewer from his plate. "Here, have one."
"No thanks." The girl swallowed hard and declined.
"Don't be shy; consider it a gesture of friendship," Xiar said with a smile.
In an instant, a shadow flashed by, and the skewer in his hand vanished, quickly disappearing into her cherry-red lips!
Xiar's smile grew even brighter as he couldn't help but think: Truly worthy of being called the King of Foodies; even a mere skewer could capture her...
