Although this young scholar's idea could be said to be unconstrained, it undoubtedly provided the scholars who had fallen into a dead-end with a new line of thought.
Following this direction of research, they finally made some progress.
A special gene was extracted from marine fish creatures and injected into the gene solution, allowing the new humans to have an additional recessive gene.
Through sexual reproduction, a new type of human was successfully born — this type of human had the body of a normal human, but had the tail of a fish.
Because this form was exactly the same as the mermaids in the human imagination of the ancient Blue Planet, this type of creature was called mermaids.
All mermaids had a female form, and the best news was that they could mate with genetically evolved humans and reproduce!
This news sent the entire Caso Empire into a frenzy.
But then came the problem: Compared to the population of the empire, the number of mermaids was quite small.
And most importantly, mermaids' bodies were very delicate and weak. If they stumbled a little, it was likely that their bodies would be bruised.
…
For this reason, the empire had to issue a decree specifically targeting mermaids.
In any family, if a mermaid was born, they could be sent to a special mermaid school, and the empire would pay for free education.
Mermaids did not need to pay taxes, were prohibited from engaging in dangerous industries, and would receive monthly subsidies.
All kinds of regulations, none of which did not protect the interests of mermaids.
But no one objected to this.
Compared to the huge population base of the empire, the resources enjoyed by these mermaids were simply insignificant.
Moreover, there was another clause in the Mermaid Decree: After every mermaid reached adulthood, they would undergo genetic adaptation. The empire would select the most suitable partner for each mermaid from the gene bank.
This was almost like contracting the entire life of the merfolk.
The empire was also helpless. Even if the problem of reproduction was solved, the number of mermaids was too small. Every mermaid was the most precious treasure of the empire.
What they could do was to give the mermaids as much freedom as possible and protect their safety to the greatest extent.
The body that Gu Shengyin came into was a mermaid.
At that time, the Mermaid Decree had been around for hundreds of years, and the protection of mermaids' rights had reached a peak.
Every mermaid would be sent to a special mermaid institution to take care of them after they were born. When they grew up, they could go to a special mermaid school to receive the best education.
The name of this body was Deanna Leonard. She was born in the Leonard Family, one of the wealthiest families in the Caso Empire.
Her mother, Cassie, was a very gentle mermaid. Her father, Anderson Leonard, was one of the wealthiest people in the Empire and had connections with many military and political figures.
After Deanna's parents gave birth to two sons, they finally welcomed a mermaid daughter. One could imagine how much they doted on her.
Deanna had been pampered and spoiled by the whole family since she was a child. Because of this, she had been raised to have an innocent and pure temperament. She did not understand the sinister nature of the human heart.
She thought that everyone in the world was like her family, kind and wonderful.
Her parents used treasures and love to build an ivory tower for her, but they didn't expect that because of this, their little mermaid daughter, who was pampered like a treasure, would lose her life.
