A Pair of Similar People!
Chapter 1681 A Conversation Between Similar People!
"Martyr?"
A hint of surprise flickered in his eyes, hidden behind sunglasses, while Xia Ya revealed a perfectly timed expression of doubt.
"Are there such noble people in PLANT?"
"Sublime?"
Durandal shook his head slightly.
“No. Perhaps! But, Lord Char, in my understanding, Zeon Zum Deikun is also a sublime being.”
"Why?"
Xia asked in return.
"New Humans".
"New humans?"
Xia's gaze changed, and his expression behind his sunglasses gradually became serious.
This envoy from PLANT, a colony on another Earth, grasped one of the core tenets of the theory championed by Zion Zm Deiken.
"Yes. Perhaps I'm being a bit boastful. But within PLANT, the genetic technology I possess is among the most outstanding. Therefore, I fully understand that the new human ideals advocated by Zeon Zum Deikun are truly feasible."
Durandal turned his gaze back to the window, focusing on the location of the Prime Minister's residence from which the thunderous shouts were coming from.
"Thank you all for your generous explanations, Zeon. Now, let me repay your kindness by mentioning some things from PLANT. Lord Char Aznable."
Durandal pointed to himself, then to Diego and the others standing guard to the side, and asked with a light laugh.
"Who are we in Lord Char Aznabul's eyes?"
"who are we?"
Char's gaze shifted slightly, his intuition telling him that Durandal had uttered a "depth bomb" that seemed poised to spark great controversy and potentially create a huge uproar within the Earth Federation.
"In my eyes at this moment, both Durandal's envoy and Captain Diego are human."
Char's mind raced, and he answered without bias.
“Heh. Of course. We are all human. But our birth is completely different from yours, Lord Char Aznable, and also from the citizens of Muzo.”
"Durandal said seriously."
"We are all humans born using gene-editing technology, humans known as Coordinators."
"Coordinators? Humans created using gene-editing technology?!"
Even with sunglasses concealing his true feelings, Char Aznable was still in shock at that moment.
"Yes. Starting from the embryonic stage, gene editing technology is used to perform interventional surgery to give newborns the hair color, eyes, and even talents that the parents desire."
"Therefore, as a technician with knowledge of gene-editing technology, I am very clear that the new human concept advocated by Geon Zum Deikun is real and credible. And..."
Durandal sighed slightly as he finished speaking, and said with a touch of melancholy.
"Moreover, in our land, there should be, no, there has already been a being called the New Human. I have witnessed the miracles created by that person more than once."
"And what is that person's name?!"
At this moment, Xia was terrified inside, but on the surface he remained calm.
"What name? I remember there was also a hero in the Earth Federation Forces during the One Year War named He Ming."
"Haha. Maybe it's just a coincidence of names! When the world we live in is swept up by spatial disasters, even the most incomprehensible anomalies become commonplace."
Durandal smiled and didn't continue the discussion on the topic.
"Yes. The envoy is right."
After glancing at the commotion outside the window, Xia Ya offered to take his leave.
"I apologize for disturbing the special envoy today!"
“It’s alright! It’s my honor to have a heart-to-heart talk with the renowned Red Comet. Perhaps this is presumptuous of me. But I always feel that Lord Char has many things in common with me.” “Is that so? Then I look forward to our next meeting.”
Char and Durandal exchanged a smile, tacitly ending their conversation.
After watching Char leave, Durandal stood by the window with his hands behind his back, silently looking out the window. It wasn't until Diego returned to his room after seeing Char off that he slowly asked a question.
"Diego, what do you think of this place?"
"here?"
Diego shook his head.
"I don't know. Lord Durandal, I'm not a scholar!"
"Really? But at least you should be able to see some clues, shouldn't you?"
Durandal turned to Diego and said meaningfully.
"Speaker Klein will probably assign you some tasks, right? Heh, don't worry. I have no intention of interfering with your tasks, but I think this moment might be an opportunity to test the mission you're entrusted with."
Diego was taken aback, finding Durandal increasingly difficult to understand.
Just now, I was simply talking with that man named Char Aznable about Muzo, Zeon, and even the local customs and traditions of the earth. How did it suddenly become so difficult to understand?
"I will make arrangements accordingly, Special Envoy."
"Hmm. I was just reminding you, Captain Diego."
After saying that, Durandal sighed meaningfully.
"The farce here is over. Now, we should head to that super-Earth."
On the street, Lara Singh, who was welcoming Char into the car, noticed Char's change in mood.
"Colonel, what happened?"
"Yes, something has indeed happened. Lala. If a person is born after undergoing gene-editing surgery at the embryonic stage, can they still be considered human?"
Sitting in the passenger seat, Xia looked at the crowd gathering towards the Prime Minister's residence and asked softly.
"Gene editing surgery? Then, are they born from their mother's womb?"
Lara Singh blinked and asked in return.
Xia was taken aback, then smiled wryly.
"Oh no. I forgot to ask."
"Really? Well, after you've found out the answer, I'll tell you my answer, Colonel, okay?"
Lara Singh said playfully.
"Lala, you're so cunning."
Char sighed helplessly.
"Really? I just don't want to see you looking so troubled, Colonel. Besides, don't we still have a mission to complete?"
Lara Singh slightly raised her chin, gesturing towards the Prime Minister's residence.
“At the very least, we can’t let Artesia’s feelings go to waste, can we?”
Xia remained silent, then nodded.
"Yes! We can't let that girl's efforts go to waste. Who exactly made Artesia change her mind and decide to pick up everything she had abandoned back then?"
The answer was already clear.
However, during the conversation just now, Durandal's remarks on the Newtype theory made a thorn in Char's side.
