The atmosphere outside was awkward, but the atmosphere inside was much more relaxed.
"'Good work. Good attitude. Keep it up'?" Fang Zhao replied.
Yu Hua was stunned for a moment before chuckling. "You recognized it. Divine Ears indeed. Your memory isn't bad."
Fang Zhao had mentioned this line when he had been serving on planet Baiji. It was just that Yu Hua hadn't revealed her identity back then. Back then, she had bid for Fang Zhao's work "anonymously" at a high price.
"I also didn't expect that 'anonymously' was actually the Inter-planetary Fund's highest authority." Fang Zhao hadn't expected to be in contact with the Inter-planetary Fund's highest authority so early on. But why had the Inter-planetary Fund targeted him so early on?
As if guessing Fang Zhao's thoughts, Yu Hua told him, "Don't worry, we don't have any ill intentions. I was the one who personally stepped in to suppress this matter. You were able to block that kind of bullet and recover extremely quickly. If you had been sent to the hospital any later, your wound would have scabbed over. This isn't something that can be explained by your muscles and bones. Are you completely fine now? "
"I'm fine. Thank you, "Fang Zhao replied. He waited for the other party to continue.
Yu Hua chuckled and continued, "Do you regret exposing your own secret to save Yuan Zheng?"
"No, it's rare to find such a talent," Fang Zhao replied naturally.
Yu Hua's smile widened as she nodded in agreement. "Yes, it's rare to find such a talent. If it hadn't been you and someone else had been there, the two of us would have been dead. "
A cold glint flashed across Yu Hua's eyes. This wasn't directed at Fang Zhao but at the people who had planned the assassination.
Yu Hua smiled again as she looked at Fang Zhao. "This time, you have helped us greatly. I came over today to express my gratitude. Actually, I should have met you long ago, but I was too busy. Now that this matter is over, let's talk about some things. "
Yu Hua sighed as if recalling something. Her calm gaze turned sharp. "Do you know about cyborgs?"
Fang Zhao's heart skipped a beat. "I don't."
Yu Hua said softly, "My grandfather is the Inter-planetary Fund's founder, Master Heng Xin. In his diary, there were records of such a creature.
There was a 'miracle substance' in the universe. No one knew how it was formed, and no one could guess where it would appear. It could not be captured, nor could it be replicated. However, when it floated to a planet with life, it would capture the genetic information of the organism and use it as a template to form a new life form. This new life form could exist in the form of a template life form. If the template was the genetic material of a cat, it would be a cat. If the template was a dog, it would be a dog. At the same time, it could also exist as a new type of machine, so it was called a cyborg. It had no natural enemies and could survive even in the extreme environment of outer space. It was truly the top predator in the universe. Of course, it is not appropriate to describe it as a predator because it can eat anything. "
Yu Hua's words were quite a shock to Fang Zhao. He had originally thought that Curly Hair was just a special type of extraterrestrial life form, but now it seemed like a "miracle".
Fang Zhao thought of something and asked, "What about the original 'template'?"
Yu Hua shook her head. "I don't know about that. However, my guess is that this kind of powerful life form favored by the universe must have had an extremely special energy field when it was formed. Otherwise, you wouldn't have become like this. You are still you, but you might not be the original you. "
After the Inter-planetary Fund had discovered Curly Hair's existence, they had also investigated Fang Zhao, especially that black street. However, up until now, the only person with such an obvious enhancement was Fang Zhao. At that time, the residents who lived nearby were not affected much.
Fang Zhao understood what Yu Hua was trying to say. She was explaining why Fang Zhao's body was so different from ordinary people, and why he could block a bullet with such strong penetrating power and recover in such a short time.
However, Fang Zhao was thinking about the day he had been reborn.
If that night had been the time when the "miracle substance" had used Curly Hair as a template to form a new life form, did that mean that the original stray dog had really died that night and been replaced by a clone with a strange life's core? That was the current Curly Hair? Was that why Curly Hair's memories of the past were always hazy?
And when this new life form had been formed, the special energy field had appeared or the special energy that had dissipated had allowed Fang Zhao to wake up in this body.
If Curly Hair wasn't the original stray dog …
Then was this body of Fang Zhao's still the original "Fang Zhao"?
Or was this body also a "clone"?
There was no way to know, but it was true that he had come back to life. He had come back to life after more than 500 years.
The wound on his abdomen had already completely disappeared. It was impossible to tell that he had been shot.
"The universe is a place where miracles are born," Fang Zhao said.
Yu Hua looked at Fang Zhao and suddenly smiled. She shifted her scrutinizing gaze away. "For an uncontrollable variable like Curly Hair, we should have killed it as soon as we discovered it. Although we weren't certain of success, he was still in the early stages. Having no natural enemies doesn't mean he's invincible. However, I ultimately decided to take a look first. Since there was someone who could restrain this monster, the threat could also become a help. Fang Zhao, you were the one who made me withdraw my decision to kill Curly Hair. "
Yu Hua's gaze turned to Fang Zhao like an amiable elder looking at a junior who could be entrusted with heavy responsibilities.
Fang Zhao:???
Yu Hua's tone was serious. "Fang Zhao, from your music, I can hear that you truly love this blue planet. However, Curly Hair is different. He is a special existence and doesn't have any sense of belonging to other people or these planets. Now that he has matured, he is like a son of the universe compared to humans. No one knows how much power he possesses or what his weaknesses are. I don't wish to face him one day, nor do I wish to see the day he opposes humans. If such a day really comes, it will be a full-scale 'Armageddon' that will be even more devastating than the 100-year Period of Destruction. "
Fang Zhao's pupils constricted. As someone who had personally experienced the Period of Destruction, the term "Armageddon" had a huge impact on him.
Given Fang Zhao's understanding of Curly Hair, Yu Hua wasn't exaggerating. Fang Zhao had long been aware of this, which was also why he had been guiding Curly Hair.
"Fang Zhao, your body has been modified by the energy of the Miracle Substance of the Universe. You still have a long life. Curly Hair can bring destruction, but he can also bring protection. Our Inter-planetary Fund is just a pioneer. The task of protection will be handed over to you. Not for the Inter-planetary Fund, but for everyone on this planet. "
The Inter-planetary Fund was happy to see Curly Hair's current growth trend. Thus, the Inter-planetary Fund had often given Fang Zhao some help. They couldn't find Curly Hair's weakness and weren't confident that they could restrain this apex predator in the event of a conflict. Furthermore, the Inter-planetary Fund had its own tasks. Currently, their main focus was on warp engine research and development, and they also had to prevent certain extremist organizations from causing trouble. They didn't have the energy to deal with an unstable factor like Curly Hair. Fortunately, it seemed like there wasn't a need to expend energy to deal with Curly Hair. Letting Fang Zhao keep an eye on him was a good thing.
Since Fang Zhao could control this unstable factor to a level they were happy with, it was a good thing. The Inter-planetary Fund wasn't willing to upset this balance.
Therefore, Yu Hua had taken some time off to meet Fang Zhao here to discuss future cooperation.
Guessing that Curly Hair's growth required energy, Yu Hua indicated that the Inter-planetary Fund could provide some assistance, as well as power ores.
After two hours of preliminary discussion, Yu Hua looked at the message left by the laboratory and exchanged contact details with Fang Zhao. She then gave Fang Zhao a contact number. "I will be very busy during this period. This is my assistant's contact number. You can contact him directly if you have any thoughts on the matter we discussed today. He also knows Curly Hair."
After saying that, Yu Hua prepared to leave. Before leaving, she paused for a moment. "Let me give you another piece of news. On account of you saving an important engineer, you won't regret taking that bullet for Yuan Zheng. Ten or even a hundred years from now, you won't regret taking that bullet for Yuan Zheng. "
Fang Zhao looked over suspiciously.
The corners of Yu Hua's mouth curled up slightly. "A new era is coming. You will see it very soon. As a celebrity in the entertainment circle, you will also be very busy. Make your preparations. "
Yu Hua left hurriedly after saying this.
Fang Zhao sat there and analyzed the meaning of Yu Hua's last words.
As the number one person in charge of the Inter-planetary Fund, which cooperated closely with the government and military, these words weren't casual words.
A new era?
Won't regret taking that bullet for Yuan Zheng in the future?
There was a lot of information in these words.
Yuan Zheng was one of the core engineers of the warp engine project. In that case, did "a new era" mean that the new-generation warp engine project was about to succeed?
At this thought, Fang Zhao's eyes lit up.
Other people might not think too much about it, but as a former leader and someone who had experienced the Period of Destruction, Fang Zhao was all too clear about the importance of this project.
Fang Zhao had always paid close attention to news related to the warp engine. If the new-generation warp engine project was successful, it would greatly reduce the time and cost of space travel between planets on the development sequence! Although it might not be able to achieve true interstellar travel, for the current stage, it was still a huge boon!
Outer Space Immigration Plan!!
The topic of outer space immigration had always been on people's radar, but up until now, planets like planet Baiji and planet Wai, which had been the subject of much discussion in recent years, had yet to be completely opened to the public. Only a small portion of people, supported by the exorbitant costs, would migrate there. Most people would at most save up for a vacation, and then they would have to tighten their belts and continue to save up. Immigration? Don't even think about it.
Land, housing, environment, resources, etc. These were all topics that people paid attention to daily. Even in Yanzhou's central city, Qi 'an City, there were many black street residents who couldn't even see the sun on the ground floor of those towering skyscrapers.
A new era …
That was an even more open era!
"Let's wait and see!"
Fang Zhao was in a very good mood because of this news, until he saw Curly Hair and Nanfeng.
When Fang Zhao found the two of them, Curly 'Son of the Universe' and 'Apex Predator' Mao was squeezed on a stone bench with Nanfeng, playing games.
One was holding a handheld console and giggling.
The other was sticking out his tongue and laughing.
The two of them were laughing like idiots, their faces full of satisfaction.
Fang Zhao: "…"
How worrying.
There was still a long way to go.
