Across Deep Space: Four Men and a Play

As Xia Jiumeng spoke, she took out a heart from a metal box that was still beating very vividly in a transparent box.

It is filled with metal pump tubes to keep it alive after leaving the body.

The mermaids or Lemurians in this world are very strange. Even if they lose their hearts, they will not die in a short period of time, but it is unknown how long they will die.

She took out the heart expressionlessly and threw it directly into the fish tank with clean water wearing gloves. Because half of the fish tank was hidden in a dark corner, even if the mermaid in the water was changed and hid, Xia Jiumeng would not be able to see it.

She also has no interest in mermaids.

The reason I bought him back was just because I didn't want Qi Yu to be sad to see the mermaid's tragic end.

"Whoosh, whoosh."

There was a sound of waves hitting the glass. When Xia Jiumeng turned her head, she only saw a fiery red fish tail with the heart wrapped around it flashing in the water.

She didn't care and ordered the robotic arm to throw the powder she prepared into the fish tank and take out the other three things.

"I guess the Mermaid's Tears are useless to you. I'll return the shell to you, and this."

"You should be able to fuse it yourself."

As Xia Jiumeng spoke, she took off the brightest and largest red scale between the shell and the fan and threw it directly into the fish tank. However, the moment it fell, it was swept away by an unknown object in the dark of the tank.

After doing all this, Xia Jiumeng took a lot of special energy plants and left without looking back.

He had no idea that the scarlet eyes in the darkness of the fish tank were filled with hatred and suspicion.

But even if I knew, I wouldn't care.

The robotic arm followed Xia Jiumeng's footsteps and left the room, and the door automatically locked the moment it closed.

"Master, why don't you..."

Xiaoqi is now the system of this laboratory, so he can naturally speak at any time.

"It's just a fish, and it's an intelligent life form. I have no interest in studying intelligent life."

She never studies intelligent life, and even if there is any, it is in the second world. The research there does not cause any substantial harm to the main body and only requires consent.

She was not a perverted and mad scientist. It was obvious that the life data of the second world could achieve 100% experimental transmission changes, but they just had to use flesh and blood entities.

Such people are simply called incompetents.

If you don't have the ability, you have to find excuses.

Xia Jiumeng returned to Room No. 1, the largest room in the laboratory. It was clean and tidy and filled with various high-specification precision instruments.

"Xiao Qi, adjust the potion formula data and compile a list of materials that can be used to create a small-scale virtual world."

"Good host."

Xiao Qi transferred the three previously configured potion materials to the entire system screen, and also cleared out the list of virtual world materials.

"Master, most of the materials can be found here, but the material for the main chip is not available on New Earth. You tried the substitute last time, but the loading space and construction capacity are extremely low."

"I've checked the information, and the official aviation bureau records that planet K14 might have the main chip material."

Xia Jiumeng rolled her eyes at it after hearing this.

Could she go to the Aviation Administration and buy it, or have them collect it for her?

Can she afford the money?

Besides, the world's aviation agency is not solely controlled by the Dragon Country officials, there are other countries involved.

Yes, this world is similar to the ancient blue planet in her original world. There are also dragon countries similar to China and many other countries.

I just don’t know why the official Dragon Country here doesn’t seem to have a strong presence.

Forget it, let’s get down to business first.

She collected her thoughts and began to prepare the potion carefully.

Qin Che communicated these materials to her in advance and provided her with a list. As soon as he received them yesterday, he prepared them and asked Xue Ming and others to deliver them to Room 7 of the laboratory in person.

For the next two days, Xia Jiumeng was busy until late at night before returning to Qin Che's villa to sleep, and went straight to the laboratory early in the morning.

Qin Che could not see her except at breakfast time.

It was not until the afternoon of the third day that Xia Jiumeng took the initiative to contact Qin Che and asked Qin Che to come to the laboratory.

Qin Che had access to the laboratory, but the moment he came in, Xiao Qi notified Xia Jiumeng, and she waited for him at the door of the pharmacy research laboratory, which was originally Room No. 1.

"What's the matter with you asking me to come here?"

"Qin Che, come with me."

Xia Jiumeng pulled him into the pharmaceutical research laboratory, where he saw several white laboratory mice being caged on a large table. The difference was that some of them were lethargic while others were very active.

Their data is still being recorded on the giant display screen.

Are these mice experimental subjects?

Qin Che looked at everything in front of him and felt a little complicated, because in the past they...

"Don't think too much about those looks of yours. They are voluntary."

"Can mice understand human language?"

Qin Che didn't believe it.

Xia Jiumeng looked at his somewhat indifferent expression and knew that he was probably thinking of something.

After all, her guess about Qin Che at that time was that either he was not human but was captured by humans for experiments, or he was a modified stray body. But no matter how she thought about it, it seemed a bit similar to the situation of the little white mice here.

But she swore that it was not the case here. These guys were really doing it voluntarily, and the genetic drug technology was mature and there was no danger. Of course, it would still hurt.

"Don't tell me, it really works."

"Little Seven!"

A floating screen appeared with a cute cat image on it.

"Master, I am here."

Qin Che's eyes darkened when he heard this name. "It's also called Xiao Qi?"

"Well, I used my cat's image to set it up. How about it? Cute, right?"

"good."

"Xiao Qi can translate the languages of many animals through sound waves. Didn't you send a lot of mice at the beginning?"

Xia Jiumeng said as she walked towards the four cages and opened the doors directly.

"Although mice have small brains, they are very smart."

Although white rats have no ability to think, they have keen perception and will run away desperately when they feel danger or fear, so Xia Jiumeng opened the door and let them go.

But even though the four mice saw the open cage, they didn't show any intention of running or getting out.

So Xia Jiumeng let them participate in the experiment. Don't say she was a saint. Genetic drugs are not dangerous. Experimenting on them is equivalent to giving them a chance to evolve. Naturally, she would not force anyone.

The lucky rat will get it.

Well, these four are the mice that are destined to be together.

"So what's going on?"

Qin Che pointed to the rat in the first cage on the left, whose size had not changed much, and asked.

"It, after being injected with the potion I gave it, awakened its speed ability. It accidentally got hit and broke its bones. It's recovering now."

After the injection that day, they all howled in pain to varying degrees, but soon quieted down. A few hours later, they underwent varying degrees of changes.

At the beginning, because I didn't have the mental power to read their consciousness, Xiao Qi had to translate it for me.

After using the potion, in addition to varying degrees of evolution, their IQ also increased significantly.

When they were ordinary mice, they probably had the IQ of a 3-5 year old. Now they have at least the IQ of a 12-16 year old human. They have even learned very basic human language and can communicate in a simple way.

This means that they are now communicative and intelligent life forms.

"is it?"

This was the first time Qin Che heard this statement. Although he had heard of humans trying to study the languages of other creatures before, so far only cats and dogs had been successful.
