In fact, even if the empire is no longer completely decided by the royal family, the royal family still plays an important role. While they enjoy rights due to their special physical qualities, they must also fulfill their obligations and be subject to public supervision.
Therefore, as the sole heir of the empire, Gu Henzhi can choose to marry the girl he likes, but this choice is not without standards.
As long as her son likes her and Gu Henzhi's father, they don't have any special requirements.
However, if the other party is a rebel from the empire, or someone who has been declared dead in some sense, the people of the empire will not agree, let alone them. If an heir cannot be born and the royal family's bloodline cannot be continued, then the empire's control over spiritual power will also have problems.
Of course she knew that her son had his own judgment, and based on her son's character, if the other person's character was questionable, he would definitely not like him, but she still hoped that her son would be prepared for the worst.
Rong Fengyi smiled to herself. This was a habit she had since becoming the queen of the empire, and it was considered the price of sitting in this position.
"The person who has been declared 'dead'..." Gu Henzhi was stunned for a moment.
Before that, he had thought that Mianmian might have been imprisoned somewhere unknown as an experimental subject and had not communicated with the outside world. Even the knowledge she received was a "lie" told by others, but he never went there. I have thought about this direction.
But if Mianmian is also one of these experimental subjects, even if he encounters the worst situation, he should not know anything about the empire...
Seeing her son's solemn expression, Rong Fengyi smiled: "I just said this, and it may not be the worst case scenario. What's more, you have to know that experiments that fit the situation I just said You can count them on one hand even in the entire empire. Apart from the royal family, the top geniuses in mental power and other aspects... how can it be so easy to meet them?"
The reason why the empire was willing to invest so much in these people was naturally because of their special characteristics.
As long as they wake up, the value they can bring to the empire will definitely make the empire's efforts more rewarding.
There are too few such people, let alone those of the same age...
Rong Fengyi thought so, and suddenly raised her eyes and found that after she said these words, her son's expression became more solemn.
Um?
It shouldn't be... right?
Gu Henzhi naturally noticed his mother's pause and tried to make his expression look more relaxed: "I understand, please continue."
Rong Fengyi looked at her son hesitantly for a few seconds.
Even though he still had the expressionless face of the past, after all, he was her own cub, she still knew very well that he looked okay now.
But since the other party said that, she continued the previous topic: "For a period of time after that, the project was not going very smoothly. After all, the technology of materializing mental power, even looking at it now, It is still very advanced. At the same time, there are gradually different voices in the empire regarding the existence of this project..."
At the beginning, due to the propaganda of the empire, the people were still looking forward to the results of the experiment. After all, theoretically speaking, if spiritual power can be realized, the whole world will enter a new beginning, and even if they have an accident in their physical bodies, , maybe you can live in another form, which is very tempting to people.
However, when the experiment does not go well and the empire continues to invest but seems to see no return, some people will always be the first to start to waver.
To make matters worse, "human experimentation" is itself very controversial.
What's more, the identities of those who participated in the experiment in this project were deliberately leaked. The existence of those people is too special, and they have all made great contributions to the empire. Instigated by some, discussions began throughout the Empire as to whether the experimental project should continue.
"Even if the experiment is successful, the materialization of mental power requires very high mental power from people themselves, so for the vast majority of people, they will not actually be able to enjoy the direct benefits brought by this technology."
"You also know the final result. After all, this happened many years ago..." Rong Fengyi paused for a moment: "It would be fine if the experiment went smoothly, but under heavy pressure, the empire finally chose to terminate the experimental project. .”
Gu Henzhi nodded, what he knew happened to be here.
He asked: "You are sitting here and telling me so much, is it because this project is not actually over? After the experiment was stopped, the starship on which the original project director was riding had an accident. I think That might not be an accident."
Rong Fengyi nodded, not surprised that her son could guess this.
If this experimental project really ended here, she wouldn't be here now.
"I actually don't know much about the rest. Not long after the experimental project was terminated, my friend finally couldn't support his body and passed away. As a father, the project director was naturally very sad. He He thought that if the experiment could continue, then his daughter, like those people, might have a chance of 'surviving', so privately, he quietly moved my friend and several other experimental subjects to other places..."
"During this process, he was discovered by the empire! This kind of blatant challenge to the authority of the empire naturally had to find a way to prevent it from appearing in the public's sight, so the matter was not exposed. The empire was chasing him During the process, something happened to his starship... If... it was really an accident..."
Rong Fengyi's voice paused slightly: "He and the few experimental subjects he took away disappeared in the unexpected explosion. The remaining experimental subjects that he did not have time to take away were well protected by the empire. At that time, Your Majesty, your grandfather, felt that maybe one day in the future, when technology has developed to a certain stage, the previous ideas might actually be realized... As long as the mental power of those experimental subjects did not really dissipate, They are not really dead and naturally need to be protected.”
In fact, no one has seen what happened in that explosion, or even whether they really died in that explosion. The death is simply noted in the final investigation report. After all, the probability of escaping from an explosion like that is almost zero.
But because of this, she couldn't tell who her son really liked.
"However, not long ago...an accident occurred in the place where the original 'experimental subjects' were kept." Rong Fengyi's expression became more solemn.
"Accident?" Gu Henzhi's heart skipped a beat, and he had an indescribable premonition.
"Someone stole one of the 'experimental subjects', and when it was discovered, the relevant signal had completely disappeared."
