"Emotions?" Sun Hang thought for a moment. "Actually, I have a question... Can feelings be simulated?"
"Simulated?"

"The rain stopped?" Yang Qi glanced at the tablet in her hand, a trace of confusion in her voice.
"Is that strange?" a military representative asked doubtfully. "It's been raining for so long. Isn't it normal for it to stop?"
"Not normal at all." Song Yarong turned around from her computer, her tone carrying a hint of contempt for a layman. "Based on comprehensive calculations from all monitoring data, the reason for the torrential rain around Chimera Seventeen is that it has been using the rain cycle to cool its nuclear reactor... But Observation Post Seven just sent back word that not only has the rain stopped, even Chimera Seventeen's nuclear reaction has temporarily ceased... Do you still think this is normal?"
"It... it's not quite normal." The military representative froze for a moment. "But isn't that a good thing? If the nuclear reaction has stopped, then Chimera Seventeen's incubation time will be extended accordingly. Doesn't that give us more time to develop the 'Insecticide Plan'? We should be happy!"
"We should be happy... Are you happy right now?" Song Yarong retorted.
"This..." The military representative hesitated for several seconds, then shook his head. "I... I also feel like something is off about this."
"Exactly. Without any external influence, Chimera Seventeen has voluntarily extended the time needed for incubation... You can't possibly think this is an anomaly showing mercy to humanity, can you?" Song Yarong said.
"But what if... what if something went wrong during Chimera Seventeen's incubation..." The military representative's voice grew quieter and quieter.
"Don't count on luck." Ye Xuan, dressed in camouflage combat gear, pushed open the door
