The Memory Lost in Space - 1. Chapter 1 Preface (1)

Preface 1

In the vast space,

There are thousands of stars shining.

I don’t know which planet my past is,

I don’t know which planet my future is.

who am I?

Where am i from

Where am i going?

It is said that these three questions are the ultimate thinking of philosophers about life. From the AD era of the ancient earth to the Nebula era of the interstellar era, there is still no answer.

If, in the literal sense, ordinary people can still answer these three questions easily, but I, standing in a prison suit, standing in court, as a military felon, cannot answer.

Six days ago, in a sparse yellow bush, I opened my eyes.

Wearing a long, dirty dress, standing on the wasteland, looking at the vast fields, my mind is blank, I can’t remember anything. I don’t know who I am, where I come from, or where I am going.

“Hey–”

“anyone there–”

I yelled vigorously over and over again, but apart from the whine of the wind blowing through the bushes, there was no other sound, as if I was the only one left in the world.

I chose a random direction and walked in a daze, hoping to see someone.

However, after walking for three full days and three nights, no one was encountered.

I was tired and hungry, fearful and desperate. Suddenly, I saw an apple tree on a hillside not far away. The trunk was rugged, the branches and leaves were withered, but it was bearing a few bright red fruits.

I stumbled over, picked the apple, and ate it gorgingly.

I had just eaten half of an apple, and there was a roar above my head.

Following the prestige, an airship stopped in the air, and the heavily armed soldiers pointed their guns at me.

I bit the remaining half of the apple in my mouth, held another apple in my hand, and raised my hand.

I was put in jail for the crime of genetic theft.

It is said that the apple tree is a variety from the ancient earth, and its genes are very rare. The Al Empire deliberately imitated the ecological environment of the ancient earth and built the G9737 satellite into a genetic research base, specializing in the study of ancient biological genes. It is the empire’s scientific research center and is very guarded.

In view of “everybody gets the money”, I can only plead guilty.

If it was just the crime of gene theft, the sentence would probably be more than 100 years, which is not a desperate punishment compared to the average life span of a human being over 300 years.

However, I have no identity yet.

Citizens of the Al Empire will undergo genetic testing as soon as they are born to obtain their own identification code, a small chip that can be implanted in the skin or placed in a personal terminal that they carry with them. Reading, working, living, and even immigrating to other star countries all need this ID chip, but I don’t have anything that can identify my identity.

The judge ordered a basic genetic test for me to find my identity.

In the end, the search result given by the Imperial Brain was: no such person was found.

A person who shouldn’t exist in the Al Empire star field actually appeared in a scientific research center comparable to a military forbidden area. What is the reasonable explanation?

My identity has changed from an unknown citizen of the Empire to a spy of another country who secretly sneaked into the forbidden scientific research area by illegal means. The crime has changed from the crime of theft of genes to the crime of endangering the security of the empire.

“…According to the crime committed, this court sentenced the unnamed lady who illegally sneaked into the G9737 base to execute Article 777 penalties, without stimulating psychological fear, causing physical discomfort, and ending all vital signs…”

I reacted for a moment and realized that the sentence was “painless death penalty.”

Based on the current facts, this should be regarded as a fair humanitarian trial. However, as a party who is about to be executed, I feel that it is very wrong.

The prison guard escorted me into a room, not the cell I was staying in these days. There are several pots of green plants in the beige room, and there is a small dining table in the middle with steaming food on it, which looks very warm.

A handsome man in a white military uniform showed his hands very gentlemanly and expressed his invitation: “Hello, this is Dr. Mu. This is dinner for you. I hope you like it.”

I sat down at the table without saying a word, and immersed myself in anguish.

The taste is the same as chewing wax, and I don’t know what it tastes like in my mouth. I thought about ten hours later that I was about to be executed the “painless death penalty”, and I didn’t even know who I was. I couldn’t help but feel sad, tears rolling down uncontrollably.

Dr. Mu came over and sat opposite me.

Maybe it was too uncomfortable in my heart, I couldn’t help but confide: “I’m really just too hungry and want to eat two apples, I don’t even know it is so rare.”

“You know it’s called an apple, but you don’t know it’s rare?” Dr. Mu smiled sarcastically.

I wiped my tears, not knowing how to answer. After several days of trial, I already knew that the stolen apples were invisible on the market. The fruits now called apples are very different from the ancient apples. In a sense, the apple I stole is considered a paleontology, and it is impossible for people who study paleontology to know it.

Doctor Mu leaned forward and stared at me with scorching eyes: “Who are you, how did you sneak into the base, what is the purpose, I don’t care, I’m here to make a deal with you.”

I asked in confusion: “Who are you?”

He smiled slightly and said slowly: “Doctor Mu, is responsible for executing your death sentence and ensuring that the execution process does not stimulate your psychological fears or cause you physical discomfort.”

I couldn’t help but shiver: “What deal?”

“I will save your life. You will marry her fiancé in place of my girlfriend.”

Isn’t he the fiancé of his girlfriend? He wants me to marry him?

I looked at Dr. Mu in shock, and Dr. Mu frowned displeased.

I realized that the fiance is not a boyfriend! Isn’t this the typical “girlfriend is married, the groom is not me” drama?

“Okay! The deal!” A desperate situation, I was afraid that he would regret it, and agreed.

Dr. Mu said: “Don’t you need to know the situation before making a decision?”

I said bitterly: “Do I have a choice? Death is on the one hand, and marriage is on the other. No matter how ugly and vicious the marrying person is, he will at least save his life.”

Doctor Mu stood up gracefully and stretched out his hand.

I took his hand politely and shook it, “Happy cooperation!” When I was about to retract my hand, Dr. Mu gave me a sudden force and grabbed me.

“If you dare to deceive me, my way of terminating your life must not be painless.” His eyes were sharp and his tone was cold, and he almost squeezed my hand.

I endured the pain in my heart and tried to look at him with the most sincere expression: “The so-called happy cooperation means that you abide by the contract, and I also abide by the contract.”

Dr. Mu’s complexion eased, and he formally shook my hand, “Happy cooperation!”

After reading the information left by Dr. Mu overnight, I finally understood the situation I was about to face.

Dr. Mu’s girlfriend is Lorraine, the princess of the imperial family of the Al Empire.

In the battle for resource stars a few months ago, the Al Empire lost to the Odin Federation and requested a truce.

The Odin Federation agreed to a truce and was willing to cede a resource star to the Al Empire on the condition that the Al Empire marries a princess to the Duke of the Odin Federation. The Al Empire is no longer able to fight, and can only accept the “reasonable proposal” of “jointly building a friendly future for the Federation and the Empire”.

The Odin Federation is a federal republic consisting of seven autonomous regions and a central administrative region. Although the nation’s founding history is not long, it is a prestigious military power among the stars with a long history.

However, the Odin Federation is a very special existence in the interstellar. No one in the interstellar believes that this marriage is really just “building a friendly future for the Federation and the Empire.”

Humans have been studying genes in the ancient earth era, and the earliest hybridization of various plant genes was used to obtain fruits with more yield and better taste. Gradually, genetic research has shifted from plants to animals, and even humans, but due to various legal and moral restrictions, research has been very restrained.

With the deterioration of the earth’s environment and the exhaustion of energy, mankind has to go to the interstellar.

At the moment of life and death, the door of genetic research was completely opened. In order to obtain a stronger body, stronger strength, and more survival opportunities, human beings have modified their genes.

In the ancient earth era, plastic surgery was popular; in the early days of interstellar, it was popular to modify genes.

From the beginning of suspicion to the widespread acceptance of human beings, various genetic modification institutions have emerged to encourage people to gain beauty, strength, health, and even longevity through moderate genetic modification.

As time passed, various modified genes blended with each other, and offspring were born, and offspring were born again. Problems hidden in genes gradually emerged. Only when humans discovered that genetic modification increased the chances of survival, it also brought some destruction. Sexual problems-the stability of genes has deteriorated, and a strong, disease-free and painless person will suddenly get strange diseases due to genetic disorders; human fertility rates are reduced, and it becomes difficult to reproduce offspring.

Humans have begun to miss the most natural genes, and the governments of various star countries have formulated strict laws prohibiting operations that modify human genes. Those who have gained extraordinary powers by fusing genes of other species are called “human beings carrying heterogeneous genes” and are being increasingly rejected. Especially those ethnic groups whose physical appearance is different from that of human beings are called “different species” contemptuously, and are not treated as human beings at all, and can only engage in some of the most dangerous and cheapest jobs.

More than six hundred years ago, some unbearable “different species” revolted. They declared independence and established their own government and army, which is now the central administrative region of the Odin Federation. Afterwards, a single spark became a prairie fire. In the more than two hundred years of war, seven large “different” resistance forces were established one after another.

Because they are all “different species” and have the same fundamental interests, the first governor of the Odin Federation is a stunning figure. The leaders of the seven rebel forces swore to obey the unified command of the governor, and consist of seven autonomous regions and the central administrative region. After the Odin Federation, a powerful star country ruled by “alien” was born.

Among the more than one hundred large and small star nations in the universe, the Odin Federation is mysterious and powerful. It not only affects the entire interstellar pattern, but also affects all star nations’ attitudes towards “alien species”, allowing them to maintain at least the superficial respect.

On the contrary, the Al empire has a long history, and the blood of the imperial imperial family originated from the eastern ethnic group of the ancient earth. During the long interstellar pioneering era, it was fortunate to maintain the purity of genes because of conservation and pride. Because the rare “natural, pollution-free” gene is the most popular marriage gene in all interstellar.

According to the analysis of the politicians of the Al Empire, the Odin Federation “went to marry” the princesses of the Al Empire. Naturally, it was not the heroic beauty, but the princess’s genes. They should be trying to repair their genes by studying the princess’s genes. .

No normal woman would like to marry a “alien”, let alone become the subject of sliced research in the hands of Frankenstein. The princesses of the Al Empire tried their best to escape. In the end, Princess Lorraine with a gentle personality was unfortunate. Was selected.

The luck of the unfortunate princess is to have a good man who is willing to plan for her at all costs and get rid of the unfortunate fate, and I… can also be regarded as borrowing the light of Princess Lorraine!

In any case, it is better to be a captive researched apple tree than humane destruction!
