Getting a Technology System in Modern Day
chapter-660

“With the servers having reached us, it also means the data they collected throughout their exploration period has been sent back, along with many surprising discoveries.

With my previous statements, I’m pretty sure that many of you are likely wondering the same thing: whether we are still alone in the universe or if there are aliens on the planet.” He paused, allowing the tension to build, and everyone watching felt their anticipation grow.

“It’s more complicated than that,” he said. Before the reporters could interrupt, the scene shifted to a visual presentation.

The screen showed part of the exploration fleet arriving at the planet, indicating that he chose to show rather than tell.

The scenes shown were carefully selected anchor points that summarized the entire situation. The montage concluded with the image of the newly created races being placed into standardized VR pods, providing enough explanation before the scene returned to the emperor standing at the podium.

Both the room and the viewers who watched the recap were silent, their minds struggling to process the information while simultaneously resisting it due to its unbelievable nature.

Had it not been presented by the emperor, they might have dismissed it as a movie or game promotion, which seemed more plausible than a summary recording of a star system five light years away.

"As I previously stated, it is complicated," Aron continued. "We had found life before, but it was at a microbial level, which was expected since the planet had all the necessary conditions to support life. However, we didn't find intelligent extraterrestrial life—at least, not initially. But we had a significant hand in their creation."

He dropped another bombshell.

"We share 99 percent of our DNA with them because they used one of our members as the foundation for creating these new species. This makes them nearly identical to us, except for a small percentage that affects their appearance and their natural affinity for mana. Unlike us, they do not need to awaken to these abilities; it comes naturally to them.

"In addition to sharing the same DNA, we are also currently responsible for their education and upbringing. This is taking place in a time-accelerated virtual environment before they leave the pods they are currently in” he paused before he continued shortly after.

“More data about them will be released after the science department reviews and verifies it for accuracy." he paused once again, preparing everyone for his following statement.

"And with that explanation out of the way, I would like to announce an upcoming amendment to the constitution.” he paused once again, having finally gotten used to the faces of surprise with every new piece of information that he was providing, he was even enjoying some times.

“This amendment will expand the definition of humanity within the First Amendment and encompass who is included under human rights. The meeting to finalize this will take place next month, after we have finished analyzing the data and determined we have enough information to classify the situation correctly.

With that, I mark the end of my address and open the floor to questions."

He barely finished his final sentence before everyone in the room raised their hands.

Without Aron needing to say anything, every reporter knew that raising their hands would automatically enter them into a raffle. This process ensured that reporters would be chosen randomly to ask their questions, preventing favoritism and ensuring that difficult questions could not be avoided by the addresser.

"Throughout the address and the video summary of the new species, you avoided mentioning their total number and if it is possible for them to be created again whenever desired?" asked Nshimirimana, a former citizen of South Africa, who was the first reporter given the opportunity to ask questions.

"Their total number is ten billion as of now," Aron responded confidently. "As for your second question, no, they cannot be created anymore through that means. The amount of mana required to achieve it is almost impossible to gather again within a few million years. However, they can multiply through birth just like us." He answered without hesitation, knowing this would be one of the easier questions posed by the reporters.

"Since we share more than ninety-nine percent of our DNA with them, can humans interbreed with them?" the second reporter asked, echoing the curiosity of many anime fans who were still in disbelief.

"Yes, it is possible," Aron replied. "In the same way a Chinese person can have a child with a Nordic person." As he said this, he could sense that the lives of a few people had been changed for the better, and he suspected the exploration fleets might soon see a surge in applications.

"Why do they resemble some of our characters from famous media?" the next reporter asked.

"It is because, in addition to copying DNA, they also read the memories of the individual they were created from. This individual was very well-versed in those media, so those characters became the template for creation. You will learn more about them once we release the full data on the situation from start to finish," Aron answered, indicating that he would not be providing further details on this topic and suggesting that reporters should not waste their questions on it.

"How are you going to deal with the other side that contributed the majority to their creation? And based on your statement of amending the constitution to include their creation, what is to become of them? Also, does this amendment mean that they are joining the empire as equals to us?" the next reporter asked.

"At the moment, the amendments to the constitution will only encompass the created races, not their creators. The matter of them joining the empire as equals is still under discussion with our creator counterparts. We currently have two options: one is for them to join the empire, and the other is for them to become our closest allies. To determine which path we will take, I need to visit and have discussions with them first."

And as always another bombshell was dropped.
