They were all identical people...
The first thought that popped into Chen Jian's mind was clones.
But clearly, 100 years after the cataclysm, it's absolutely impossible for any organization, any power, to still have the ability to perform human cloning.
This is not a matter of technical difficulty.
In fact, from a purely medical and biological perspective, cloning technology is not unattainable.
However, the ultra-high level of coordination and management required for this technology has definitely surpassed the limits of the post-apocalyptic era.
In 011, there are plenty of machine tools where you can throw in materials and it'll produce machines one after another.
And you want to clone humans?
What, you think you can just put a fertilized egg into a womb and produce clones like on an assembly line?
What a pipe dream!
Chen Jian knew full well how unrealistic this idea was, but if he were to judge what the Mimic Heretics actually were, he couldn't provide a suitable answer.
