Classroom at Princeton University's Institute of Biological Sciences at the end of September.

The classroom is not large, oval-shaped, with the podium at the front end of the oval at the entrance, at the lowest point, and the students seated in a circle, about forty people, raised from front to back, and the last row is the highest.

More than 60 percent of the students are white boys, and there are very few women and other people of color.

There are only five yellows, two of whom are particularly conspicuous.

One is broad and strong, wears a pair of ugly glasses, and looks very ordinary.

Beside him sat a very beautiful girl, with black hair draped over her shoulders, fair and crystal skin, and a delicate and beautiful face, like a daffodil.

They are Gu Meng and Li Zhen'er.

After the two settled down in school, Gu Meng accompanied Li Zhen'er to class for two days, and today he came to take genetics again.

"A gene is a general term for a specific nucleotide sequence that has a genetic effect on the molecule of DNA, i.e., deoxyribonucleic acid, and is a molecular segment of DNA that has a genetic effect.

Genes are located on chromosomes and are arranged linearly on chromosomes.

The role of genes, which can not only transmit genetic information to the next generation through replication, but also enable genetic information to be expressed"

The class was taught by Professor Marshall Warren, a world-renowned expert in genetics who won the Nobel Prize in Biology in '68.

In 1985, he first proposed the Human Genome Project in his paper, trying to elucidate the sequence of 3 billion base pairs of the human genome, discover all human genes and figure out their position on chromosomes, and decipher all human genetic information.

Professor Marshall said that after deciphering the genetic information, scientists can change the order of genetic genes through formal operations, and can change the 'energy domain' of human beings to create the so-called 'superman', that is, they have superhuman specialties in some aspects.

The program was officially launched in October 1988, and after Gu Meng shined at the Seoul Olympics, the U.S. government invested $5 billion in the first phase.

This project brings together hundreds of famous scientists from all over the world, including the 89-year Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Cech and Sidney Altman, the inventor of the polymerase chain reaction, Kelly Mullis, the father of PCR, and more than 20 Nobel laureates.

The goal of the project is to precisely sequence the human genome, which is made up of 3 billion base pairs of the human body, so as to understand what each genome does, and that changing which gene will change the body's strength, speed, and even longevity.

In his paper, Marshall said that the genome that affects the strength and speed of the human body is called the "first sequence" and is also the basic sequence.

The genome that affects human health and longevity is called the 'second sequence', also known as the 'God sequence'.

"The first and second sequences are not a step-like upward trend, but extend endlessly like 'vultures', so in genetics, human power is unlimited, human lifespan is unlimited, and genetic research is also unlimited."

Marshall preached in class.

"Professor, does the strength and speed of Subject 'Adam' exceed that of ordinary people, does this result indicate that scientists have explored the mystery of the 'First Sequence'?"

In class, not far from Gu Meng, a blonde classmate raised his hand and asked.

“N0N0N0！”

Professor Marshall shook his finger, "If the 'first sequence' is the entire Sahara Desert, we are still working on the first grain of sand."

Coax~

The people in the classroom opened their mouths wide and were surprised.

"But Professor, why is Adam's strength and speed beyond the ordinary?"

"Is Subject Adam fake?"

"Isn't it a breakthrough in genetic research that Adam can have a physique beyond that of an ordinary monkey?"

The students asked questions.

Gu Meng was also very curious: If genetic research is still at this stage, is there still any value in investing? Even if you invest $1 trillion, you won't be able to produce any useful results in spending thousands of years.

"Oba, I feel like genetics is so hard!"

Li Zhen'er nodded her forehead with a pen, her delicate brows furrowed slightly, looking particularly embarrassed.

Gu Meng smiled lightly, "Zhen'er, we are investor managers, as long as you master the methods of genetic research, other things can be left to professionals to do, you usually come to listen to lectures, don't be reluctant"

Li Zhen'er shook her head, her hair falling from her ears, black and straight, with a little fragrance of begonia flowers.

She pursed her thin lips and said seriously: "Oba, people say that the future is the era of genes, and if you master gene technology, you will grasp the opportunity, and I want to learn this subject well."

"Okay, I've got your back!"

Gu Meng smiled, Li Zhen'er is a female scholar, she was admitted to the Department of Physics of Seoul University at the age of sixteen, she could have stayed for graduate school after graduation, she happened to be pregnant, so she could only put it aside temporarily, and now she is studying at Princeton University, which is also her wish.

"Quiet!"

Professor Marshall pressed his hand on the podium and said slowly, "Adam's life breakthrough is real, but the genetic technology of modifying the experimental subject Adam is not the result of our research."

"Could it be that the Soviets researched it?"

Some students instantly thought of the 'Snow Coconut City Incident'.

Marshall nodded slightly, he lifted his glasses and continued, "Our research on genetic engineering starts from basic research, starting from the simplest genome, it takes at least one year to analyze each genome, and the first sequence contains hundreds of millions of genome strands, and our progress is not yet possible to reach the level of modifying monkey genes."

"Why can the Soviets?"

Some students asked suspiciously: Now that the Soviets are in turmoil at home, and division is just around the corner, why can their scientists produce amazing results under such harsh conditions?

Professor Marshall laughed, "If you want to enter a door, there are generally two ways, one is to use a key, and the other is to break the door violently, and the second method is taken by the Soviet Union, that is, in terms of studying genes, they have not obtained the key to cracking genes."

For our biological research, if we do not obtain the key, we will not grasp the mysteries of the field, and all research will be ineffective.

Because the scene we see in a room opened with a key is not the same as a room opened with violence, and this is the 'illusion' of lifeology."

The students listened to it in a fog and generally understood a little.

Scientists in the United States have taken the first path, starting from the basics, steadily and steadily, and advancing step by step.

Soviet scientists took two paths, violently breaking through parts of the field of genetic research, and peeking a trace of biological artifacts from the field, they took this illusion as a fact and used it on the subject, creating the 'Adam' type of test subject.

"Professor, their method can make ordinary monkeys gain more strength and speed, doesn't this mean that their experiment is successful?"

A classmate with thick glasses asked.
