577: Chapter 577 Hiding Some Facts

He reviewed everything that had happened during this period and concluded that the only place that could have affected him was inside Monga's spaceship.

Because he completed his gene repair there.

If Dragon Three hadn't performed some secret operation on him, then the only place that could have changed his physique was there.

"Are you saying this is a result of gene repair?" Oriental Chen asked.

"That's right. Human physique has been locked," Dragon Three nodded.

"After comparison and analysis, that attached DNA fragment can not only increase the risk of human infection with viruses, but also bring a series of cascading effects to the body."

"The most obvious features are:"

"Human body repair capabilities are affected. The differentiation ability of stem cells is greatly weakened, and regeneration ability is reduced, which leads to a significant shortening of human lifespan."

"Physique is weakened, which is mainly due to the instability of human muscle groups; if you don't use them, they will immediately atrophy."

"The optic nerve system is weakened, and the visible light range is narrowed."

"After our long-term analysis, we believe this is the most fundamental reason they implanted this additional DNA. Or rather, the initial purpose of this DNA was to modify the human perception range of light."

"What was their purpose in doing this?" Oriental Chen asked.

"Their purpose was naturally to conceal some facts."

"What facts?"

"The Moni People's skin has stronger resistance to low-frequency ultraviolet light," Dragon Three replied.

"Are you saying the Moni People's skin is different from normal people?" Oriental Chen quickly connected what Dragon Three said with reality.

"Yes. Normal people's skin color is what you see, but the Moni People's skin color would appear purplish."

This means that before human genes were modified, people could distinguish between normal people and the Moni People with the naked eye. Normal people's skin color was the normal color seen now, but the Moni People's skin appeared purplish.

In such a situation, the Moni People would certainly have nowhere to hide and would soon be eliminated.

So they adjusted the human visible light frequency range by modifying genes, causing low-frequency ultraviolet light to become invisible.

Under these circumstances, the Moni People and normal people appeared to have the same skin color.

But it only looked similar.

Differences could be detected with equipment.

However, almost everyone's genes have now been tampered with, and even if there were one or two who hadn't been, they would be considered abnormal.

Having understood all this, Oriental Chen no longer dwelled on it and returned to his prepared room to sleep.

The next three days were spent on cognitive testing.

Just like exams in school, the test questions covered a wide range and were diverse in type, but he basically completed them with ease.

"Mr. Dongfang, the tests are now complete. From the results, there are no major issues. Of course, we will continue to monitor you later; this will be a long-term adaptation process," Dragon Three said.

"Thank you," Oriental Chen replied politely.

"You're welcome. Now we will proceed to the final step."

The final step was authorization.

After authorization, Oriental Chen would gain the "highest control authority" of the Mars Base.

This "highest control authority" only meant having permission to access all data within the Mars Base, but not being able to fully control the entire base.

Dragon Three made it very clear to him that as long as the human cultivation project had not completely succeeded, the mission of the Mars Base would not be considered complete.

Translated, this means that unless Oriental Chen completely eliminates the remaining Sirius inhabitants, the base will continue to operate independently. If he fails, the base will continue to optimize the plan.

Authorization merely opened up access to him, with no more reservations.

"Good."

"Mr. Dongfang, please look straight ahead, at the flying butterfly," an electronic voice sounded.

A yellow butterfly appeared in the office space, slowly fluttering.

"Data verification successful."

"Please read aloud the text on the prompt board."

A white prompt board appeared before his eyes, with a passage written in black Chinese characters.

Oriental Chen read it aloud.

"Data verification successful."

"Please read aloud the text on the prompt board again."

The text on the white prompt board changed; this time it displayed the Dragon Nation script.

Oriental Chen had completely mastered the Dragon Nation language and successfully completed the reading.

"Data verification successful."

"Loading authorization…"

"Verifying authorization…"

"Authorization successful."

The Mars Base had already collected enough data, so the authorization process did not require additional operations.

"Mr. Dongfang, the Mars Base database will be fully open to you. I hope you succeed," Dragon Three said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I will!" Oriental Chen replied.
