Where exactly is Chapter 683 cruel?
Where exactly is Chapter 683 cruel?
That being said, there's no reason to praise someone to their face.
Perfect as it may be, it's based on the premise that the other party is an experimental subject...
"I know what you want to say."
Seeing Ye Jin'er, who was usually quick-witted and eloquent, start to stammer, Ye Sanqing laughed and said, "I'm a perfect experimental subject, right?"
"I wanted to compliment you, but I feel like there's something odd about what I said..."
"But I really am, and this is just stating the facts. After all, imperfect experimental subjects are simply destroyed," Ye Sanqing said.
Ye Jin'er: "The more you talk, the crueler it sounds..."
Ye Sanqing: "Where exactly is it cruel?"
Ye Jin'er looked somewhat bewildered.
Where should he begin?
This topic is far too profound; it's not something he would normally think about.
But his instincts told him... it didn't matter if Ye Sanqing didn't understand, as long as he honestly expressed his current thoughts.
"Yes, that's true in terms of experiments. After all, the purpose of experiments is not to achieve technological progress, but to achieve the best possible results," Ye Jin'er nodded.
“That’s right. If we’re concerned about the…additional losses in the experiment, then there will be no progress,” Ye Sanqing said.
"But using humans... isn't that a bit against common sense?"
"Of course it's against the rules, but if it weren't for genetic experiments, there wouldn't be any humans left." Ye Sanqing asked in surprise, "A natural disaster has come, are you going to deal with it by reasoning?"
"Hmm, do you mean to do something like the Zerg mass production of units?" Ye Jin'er suddenly thought of a familiar game mechanic and used it as an analogy.
"Oh, that's quite fitting." Ye Sanqing nodded. "Since you know that, it makes things easier. It's precisely because of the experiments that we can mass produce units like the Zerg. Otherwise, what would we use to fight them?"
"No wonder……"
Ye Jin'er fell into deep thought.
If that's the case, then interstellar humans and ordinary Earth humans probably have a very different understanding of the value of life.
It's hard to say during wartime, but now that we're in peacetime, hearing such words at first glance is quite alarming.
But upon closer reflection, it makes sense. With both natural disasters and the Zerg, simply surviving is already incredibly difficult; to then discuss whether it makes sense...
He himself felt that what he had just said was somewhat like that of a sheltered young person.
"Well, so you understand. I personally have no objection to this, but although I myself am a product of experimentation, this technology was not used on a large scale during my tenure."
"Didn't you say there was a war going on?"
"Because that's a temporary solution; developing technology is the long-term solution. There's also the issue of minerals and resources; even clone soldiers need to eat."
Ye Sanqing's eyes darted around, "It's not here, there's so much good food... Even making nutritional paste requires raw materials... Cyborgs don't need to eat... and they won't die."
"I see."
Ye Jin'er was both amused and exasperated. He had thought Ye Sanqing understood this humanistic concept, but he hadn't expected the reason to be so simple and crude!
But this is the real her.
"However, small-scale experiments are still being conducted. But as I said before, I can't interfere with the research institute's affairs; at most, I can only give them general directions for research."
"So, even as emperor, your word isn't absolute?"
"What you're saying is true. If only one person in any country has the final say, it's doomed sooner or later." Ye Sanqing shook his head. "What I want to do is ensure that even when I'm not around, the normal operation of the country is not greatly affected."
"After you came here, have you thought about what will happen to the world before?"
"Thinking about it is useless; why bother thinking about things that can't be controlled? I can only say that I hope the various measures I left behind before I left will work."
"Okay, I just hope you... you're happy here."
Ye Jin'er looked at her intently and said.
"So sentimental? This doesn't seem like you at all. You haven't been possessed by some alien, have you?!"
Ye Sanqing smiled.
Although Ye Jin'er was indeed unlikely to be her older brother in terms of age alone, she could still feel this care.
"Who's actually possessed by an alien?!" Ye Jin'er exclaimed, speechless. "I'm going to eat a lot of meat!"
It's good that the meaning has been conveyed... Otherwise, he always felt a little sad inside, which he felt for Ye Sanqing.
“Aliens don’t necessarily not eat beef.” Ye Sanqing picked up a piece of meat.
"If you put it that way, I really can't refute you."
It has to be said that it is quite convincing.
"Speaking of which, are you still bothered by the issue of privilege that you were struggling with earlier?" Ye Sanqing asked after taking a few bites.
"There's no use in me feeling conflicted. I can only try my best to prevent others from doing this kind of thing," Ye Jin'er said, shrugging her shoulders.
After all, even if he said such things, no one would pay attention.
We should be as simple and direct as Ye Sanqing; why bother with so much explanation?
You can simply say, "I don't like doing this."
Since these people like to speculate about his meaning so much, let them speculate.
Although it sounds like taking advantage of privileges, isn't this also a way of using a convenient excuse to back down?
"It's good that you understand. So what if you have privileges? As long as you don't abuse them, isn't that enough?" Ye Sanqing concluded.
"As expected, those who have been emperors understand."
"Of course, no one knows better than me."
"Isn't there something wrong with what you said? Oh, your phone is on."
"Huh? We've arrived so quickly?" Ye Sanqing glanced at his phone; it was Sheng Hanyu.
He's moving really fast! He must have gone straight to the airport to take off, and he's probably landed by now.
Although cell phones can be used on private jets, Ye Sanqing felt that, given Sheng Hanyu's habits, she probably wouldn't contact her unless there was nothing else to do.
Therefore, this contact must have been accompanied by a lot of information.
"I'm eating, are you in a hurry?" Ye Sanqing answered the phone.
“Something unexpected happened… It wasn’t that urgent. I just wanted to say, ‘You eat first, I’ll take care of this.’ But after I hang up, I’ll need to spend some time focusing on it.”
"Sure, is two or three hours enough?"
"more or less."
"Okay, then contact me later."
Ye Sanqing put down his phone and said to Ye Jin'er, "He said he has something to do and will talk to you in two or three hours. Do you have anything else to do? Do you want to listen together, or can I just give a brief summary after I listen?"
"I still have work to do. You guys talk first, and let me know when you're done."
Ye Jin'er didn't know why, but suddenly felt that she shouldn't participate in this part.
Where does this intuition come from...?
"Okay, this might be more efficient and take up less time per person. Let's do it this way."
Two hours later, Sheng Hanyu called right on time.
"Many members of the Lu family have died."
