When the staff welcomed him to his new department, Joseph felt a sense of warmth, as if he had returned to the bosom of nature, as everyone here shared the same passion for studying rare plants and animals.
A passion that developed with him since childhood until it became his own profession. Joseph had a difficult childhood, as his town suffered from a severe shortage of food, which caused everyone to head to the forest to search for everything that could be eaten.
As a child, Joseph helped his sick father in research, and he learned a lot about the plants and animals in the forest, to the point that he understood their customs and began to find the path to understand the meaning of their behavior, which helped him communicate and get closer to them.
This later developed into a passion, and after graduating from high school, he applied to join a university specializing in this field and became one of the most prominent scientists there. His achievements and his destiny helped bring life back to his town and developed it to escape poverty.
Therefore, when he sees himself surrounded by plants and animals, he feels comfortable. If it weren't for his daughter's illness, he wouldn't have moved away from what he loves, but he had to be by her side and He gives up everything,
One of the team members introduced him to one person after another, and they began to explain to him the different facilities; there is a wing dedicated to rare plants, and another dedicated to studying the aliens that were discovered, currently they only have the remains of the civilization they defeated a year ago.
They also supervise the care of the floor dedicated to agriculture and animals, these are important foundations for their survival until they reach a planet suitable for life.
Joseph smiled when he saw a small garden under a glass dome, containing rare plant species from every corner of the Earth, he approached one of the strange plants, and turned it carefully in his hands, saying to one of the colleagues, "This is similar to a plant I saw in the Amazon forests on Earth, but it has blue leaves instead of green."
His colleague replied with a smile, "That's right, it's the result of a genetic modification we made, we are now trying to increase the effect of these plants and improve them, for example, this plant is considered one of the basic components in creating a medicine that stops bleeding in a period three times shorter than the most powerful medicine on Earth,
It can also be noted that the wound heals faster. We have many plants here that show new properties that were not known before...."
Joseph listened carefully to his colleague's explanation as he examined the other plants and expressed his opinions that seemed to be greatly appreciated by his colleagues, after which he finally sat on his seat, contemplating the place around him, and felt extremely comfortable.
"I never imagined that I would find a quiet place like this, after all that chaos... Thank you for giving me this opportunity."
Then he thought about his daughter, and knew in himself that he deserved this calm after all those difficulties, and he felt that the empire had given him a place to continue achieving his scientific dreams, without any anxiety or stress.
There was no doubt that Joseph would become an essential part of the research team, transferring his experiences to them and studying with them the secrets of the universe and its endless details, and here his journey into the unknown begins.
''Hello, sir.'' A woman in the middle of work on the other side welcomed Karl who suddenly entered.
''Hello, Dr. Jenny, how are the children today?'' Karl welcomed her with a smile.
In a spacious hall, the artificial incubators were neatly arranged in long rows, containing newborn babies within the huge artificial reproduction project.
Next to each incubator, there were screens displaying growth rates, oxygen levels, and temperature measurements, ensuring that the environment surrounding each child was ideal and suitable for healthy growth.
Karl watched the children in the incubators and smiled. He was wearing a medical coat and a protective mask. Dr. Jenny, a middle-aged woman, stood next to him, with serious and fanatical features that showed respect for the young emperor in front of her.
Jenny was working on a tablet screen with statistics on the advanced IVF process performed on each incubator.
"Dr. Jenny, how is the process progressing? Are we having any problems with the new samples?"
"So far, the success rate is stable at 98%, with a very low genetic rejection rate, around 1.2%. We are working on applying a thorough genetic screening to all embryos before transferring them to the incubators, and fixing what can be fixed,
which reduces any possibility of genetic disorders. We also ensure a balanced distribution between male and female embryos, with the aim of maintaining a natural population balance in the future"
"Excellent. This population balance is essential. Don't forget to manage avoiding future genetic connections between individuals, we need to ensure that marriage between blood siblings does not occur, this is important so the necessary measures must be taken"
"Don't worry, we have created a complete genetic database for each child since birth. Each child has a detailed genetic file of his own,
We also use an intelligent system that helps us monitor the process. The system tracks these genetic files strictly for each individual as they grow older to avoid such cases,"
In the other corner, today was the first day for Linda, the wife of Allen, a doctor specializing in obstetrics and pediatrics, and a geneticist who has won many awards in this field,
was watching the conversation from afar, curiously wondering what they were talking about. It was her first day so she still didn't understand much, and she was also very curious about the emperor who kidnapped them. She turned to her coworker, Dr. Mary, and asked her in a low voice.
"Excuse me, can you explain to me what this project they are talking about? It seems like something important and I can't hear very well from here."
"Of course. This is a project that you will soon be a part of and it is a huge artificial reproduction project, and as you know the empire has a small population so they came up with this idea. Since all the embryos here are the result of artificial insemination,
The sperm and eggs we bring with us from Earth are carefully examined to ensure they are free of any genetic disorders or deformities.
After fertilization, the embryos are transferred to these incubators where they grow until birth. The babies here will remain under observation until they are transferred to care centers to be taken care of."
