Of course, the vast genetic database also meant a second thing: as long as the search parameters were confirmed, this quantum cluster computer could find approximate matches among the tens of billions of people.
Even for someone like Bianka, who had never fully entered her own genetic information, a blood sample was enough to search within it.
The moment Ai-chan began to mobilize the data, a huge virtual screen unfolded in front of everyone.
At a glance, it was densely packed with portraits, each representing a person's identity information.
"Here we go!" In the corner of the screen, a large button appeared in front of Ai-chan. Ai-chan raised her arm and slammed it down with excitement.
In an instant, the entire screen erupted in an eerie red light. It was the glow emitted by countless genetic information being eliminated in the first round, causing their portraits to turn red simultaneously.
Then, the red light disappeared, and the second round of screening began.
Another flood of red light lit up. The two searches had already visibly eliminated over 99% of the units. After the two major screenings, the subsequent search process became a slow and steady trickle...
Doo-doo-doo-doo—
Bianka and Kiana watched in stunned silence as the remaining tens of millions of portraits turned red and then dimmed at a speed they couldn't even capture. The speed of eliminating hundreds or thousands of options per second was still increasing!
"I wish I could read books at this speed..." Kiana was genuinely envious of this information processing speed.
If she had this kind of processing speed, she could finish the books Mei had her read and the homework she had assigned in an instant. Then she could play games with peace of mind...
Compared to Kiana's envy, Bianka looked completely like she had never seen the world, just staring dumbfounded.
At this point, the information processing speed had accelerated to the point where rows and rows were turning red. The two of them were watching this process intently.
And in the bottom right corner, which they hadn't noticed, Ai-chan had already entered hosting mode and had once again dived into the sea of data to roam.
The tedious data screening was very boring. She was a super AI with millions of data bits and millions of current flows per minute. How could she just wait here?
The information screening suddenly got stuck in the midst of their watching. After about a second of automatic re-checking, two portraits were enlarged in front of them. At the same time, a series of identity information was displayed.
"The results are out!" Kiana's eyes lit up. At a glance, she was struck by lightning.
Bianka blinked her large eyes. The next moment, she gasped, frozen in place like a stunned goose.
"Oh? Are the results out?" Ai-chan, who had been slacking off for a while, felt like she was about to turn into a pig from feasting on the vast database. She patted her non-existent but materialized round belly and waddled out.
"Let's see who Lady Bianka's relative is..." Ai-chan looked up, raising an eyebrow at the two pieces of identity information displayed above. The satisfied smile on her face gradually disappeared.
Her grinning mouth closed, and her eyes opened in sync.
"Huh?!!!!"
[Kiana Kaslana: Genetic affinity with the sample reaches 99.9%. Confirmed parent-child relationship with the sample provider.]
Among the two portraits, Kiana's confident smile in front of the camera was very clear. That unique temperament completely ruled out the possibility of a "same name."
So... Bianka was, in a sense, her descendant?
Actually, this was not very surprising. After all, Kiana had already had her suspicions, and now it was just confirming that she was indeed a genius.
Because of all the mental preparation, Kiana was not too surprised by this result.
What really surprised her, or rather, what surprised everyone, was the other person displayed.
Ai-chan was the first to react. Her legs went weak on the spot, and she burst into tears.
"Waaah!! Big Sis Kiana, didn't you say it wouldn't involve any secrets?!!" Ai-chan's howl was heart-wrenching and genuine. "Why did it access Boss Shu's information!!"
[Shu: Genetic affinity with the sample reaches 54.8%. Confirmed parent-child relationship with the sample provider.]
Next to Kiana's photo and information was Shu's photo and information. Unlike Kiana's overflowing confidence and charisma, Shu's photo had a forced, robotic feel.
This was Shu, the leader of Fire Moth they were familiar with, the [Captain] of the Hyperion, the Shu who had protected them for a long time with his [Hope] until the initial establishment of Fire Moth.
Not Mei.
Hmm.
Not Mei!!
Kiana's face suddenly took on a deathly pale expression. She closed her eyes in disbelief, her chest heaving violently.
No, no, the problem right now shouldn't be why my other half isn't Mei. The problem is why Shu is on here?
Weren't they here to verify the relationship between Kevin and Bianka? Why was Shu involved?! And he was even paired with her, becoming Bianka's... parents?
"Ai-chan! What's going on?!" The sudden flood of information successfully overloaded Kiana's brain. After glancing at Bianka, who was even more dazed than her, Kiana decisively turned to Ai-chan for help.
And Ai-chan was still crying there: "How would Ai-chan know why Boss Shu is here! All information related to Boss Shu is top secret. Ai-chan is really going to be dismantled by Overseer Otto and turned into a smart toilet AI this time!"
Alright, Ai-chan was obviously more anxious than her.
"Could there have been some mistake?" Kiana recalled her "vast" knowledge base and said with a sheepish smile. "Look, isn't this data wrong? I heard that a banana can have a 60% similarity with a human. Shu and Bianka only have 54.8%..."
As she spoke, Kiana herself realized that something was wrong.
If a banana and a human had a 60% similarity, then who wasn't human between Shu and Bianka?
Hmm... it seemed that neither of them were strictly human?
This definitely wasn't the same kind of data!
"It's completely different! What you're talking about, Kiana, is genetic similarity. The genetic range used for paternity testing is the genetic inheritance range! For both males and females, as long as it's over 50%, it can be confirmed as a blood relationship!"
Ai-chan's crying suddenly stopped. Then she looked at the [99.9%] marked on Kiana's information column in a daze.
"That's right... why is it so high? Normally, the highest should only be around 70%. Boss Shu's data is clearly normal... 99.9%, this kind of data is almost like..."
"Like what?"
"Like a one-to-one perfect clone!"
