At Their Mercy
"Well, just don't create any monsters." Yue Yuan understood that what Yi Kai was saying was just empty talk, so he didn't intend to delve into it. In any case, these research projects should be supported.
Upon arriving at the front bridge, Yue Yuan approved the funding for Yi Kai while saying, "The Cold Nuclear Pulse Thruster will be used on the Probe Spaceship first. You need to hurry up here too. Once we achieve a breakthrough in Particle Physics, we humans should move to the next level and reach the Level 2 Civilization. I don't want to see us constrained by our physical bodies again."
"Don't worry, Chief of Staff, it's all taken care of." After receiving the approval, Yi Kai said this and then turned to leave.
It seems like they plan to start research as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, Yue Yuan's busy day also began.
Biology has now confirmed that the Kuntai People cannot inherit memories, so the rest is simple.
After dealing with some urgent matters, Yue Yuan immediately summoned Man Yuemei and asked her to return to the Kunlun-Class Warship to prepare. He himself then began to arrange the selection of Kuntai People.
Currently, the entire Kuntai People is under human control, and their numbers are still very large, approximately over six million. Such a large number inevitably includes many Kuntai People nearing the stage of abnormal development, making the selection process quite smooth.
With just a simple computer categorization and search, all suitable candidates will be available. Then, humans won't even need to send robots to capture people; they can simply have the Kuntai People's administrators retrieve the people and send them to the spaceships prepared by humans.
There are more than 13,000 people in total.
In the process of demanding the selected Kuntai People, the humans did not give the Kuntai People's administrators any reason. They simply handed the corresponding list to the administrators of the corresponding Residential Spaceship and let them come up with their own reasons.
The list is full of Kuntai People have entered the "Tai" phase of the "Kun" transformation. The clever Kuntai People managers can easily figure out what humans want them to do.
It must be something like participating in experimental research.
The managers who carry out human orders are well aware that research like that on mice might be conducted, but they cannot refuse, nor dare they refuse.
Among these selected Kuntai People was one named Mo Tuotuo, who was also about to enter a period of abnormal development.
Right now, he's saying goodbye to Pierce.
"Lord Pierce."
"Mo Tuotuo, Mortot!" Pierce replied with a complex expression.
She wanted to say: The Kun-Tai Civilization will never forget your sacrifice, and I will always remember the atrocities humanity committed against us at this moment. This is the darkest moment for our Kun-Tai Civilization, and all Kuntai People will silently remember it in their hearts until the day we retaliate.
However, everything about the Kun-Tai Civilization's Residential Spaceship is now under human surveillance, especially her every word and action as the leader. Therefore, she dares not speak out and can only act very obediently, even speaking for humanity against her will.
"Mo Tuotuo, the great human race has sent you to serve them. Please do your best and do not disappoint them." Pierce said this somewhat insincerely.
However, the intelligent Mo Tuotuo understood her meaning, and Mo Tuotuo solemnly replied, "I will, I will definitely use my wisdom to help the great human beings."
The farewell was brief, a separation of life and death, yet it seemed to become a mutual encouragement, a motivation for the future survival of the Kun-Tai Civilization.
After more than 13,000 Kuntai People in Kun form boarded the spaceship prepared by humans, they were sent to a Large Turntable Residential Spaceship specially designed for the Kuntai People's environment.
The rotation speed of this turntable is also set according to the Gravity Environment and habits of the Kuntai People, and the various facilities inside are also arranged according to the habits of the Kuntai People.
Every Kuntai People has a separate room, fully equipped, which is better than the living conditions of the Kuntai People's own Residential Spaceship.
Every Kuntai People who came to the new environment, including Mo Tuotuo, was filled with anxiety, always fantasizing about when they would be sent to a laboratory by humans and put on the operating table for inhumane dissection.
However, to their surprise, after arriving here, the humans not only did not capture anyone to be used as lab rats, but also provided them with the best food and drink every day according to the highest standards.
After several Kuntai days of such doubt, a video finally appeared in their room, and the video told them the purpose of the humans bringing them here.
"You must be very curious about why we brought you here. Perhaps some of you think that you will soon become lab rats and be placed in our laboratory for research."
No, you're wrong. Now I'm telling you, we won't kill you. We just want to observe your species' reproductive process. Yes, some observant people have probably already noticed that the room containing yours is filled with various cameras and scanners.
It's that simple. You just need to stay here and complete your metamorphosis. Once we've collected the data, we'll send you back to your Residential Spaceship. Alright. Once again, on behalf of myself, I would like to thank you for your contributions to Life Science."
The video message was brief, simply stating the purpose before being turned off.
In the days that followed, just like in the video speech, every Kuntai Day, robots delivered a large amount of food to these Kuntai People.
As Kuntai People was nearing his abnormal development, was subjected to the combined effects of hunger and video calls, he began to overeat and drink excessively, constantly increasing his energy intake and gaining weight.
Energy is conserved. After the Kuntai People transform from the 'Kun' form to the 'Tai' form, they will experience comprehensive enhancement and give birth to offspring. Of course, this energy cannot be created out of thin air, so the most obvious manifestation of the Kuntai People's transformation into metamorphosis is a surge in their food intake.
This surge in food intake is somewhat similar to the physical modifications humans underwent at that time, but it was far more intense.
During this period, their digestive and absorptive functions seemed to be truly activated, metabolizing food at an extremely fast speed. In just three Kuntai days, their weight increased by three to five times.
It can be said that during the three Kuntai days, these Kuntai People did nothing but eat.
Immediately afterwards, their bodies became bloated, and they stopped eating, then one by one moved on to the next stage.
In the video footage, humans saw that less than a Kuntai time after the Kuntai People Mo Tuotuo stopped eating, he began to emit unintelligible Ultrasound from his mouth.
