Chapter 295: The Third Set of Coordinates
The digression was almost over, and Chu Jiyan's attitude towards Gu Song gradually eased. He sorted out his thoughts and began to talk to Gu Song about the Third Research Institute in an orderly manner.
In fact, several years ago, Brian dreamed of conducting clinical trials of EL anti-aging drugs in hospitals and nursing homes. With the progress of science and technology, similar experimental projects have been carried out in some developed countries.
Brian has devoted the rest of his life to this research and can't wait to validate his results in humans. However, due to the fact that the EL series of drugs developed by their company always had some flaws and even fatal risks, his clinical trial project was not approved by the US Food and Drug Administration.
Brian was a little disappointed by this outcome, but he didn't have the idea of touching the legal and moral bottom line at the time. It wasn't until the end of 2010 that he came to China to develop his family business, and at a certain dinner, he reached a consensus with several close friends and jointly developed an experimental plan for an "underground prison".
In order to realize this crazy plan, they spent three years in the preliminary preparations. During this time, Brian had the idea that in addition to conducting experiments on adults, he also wanted to conduct another set of experiments to see how the cells in the body would change when children ingested EL series drugs.
Brian knew in his heart that such thoughts were simply too evil, but he couldn't control the madness in his heart. He did not dare to tell others about this idea, for fear of being opposed by his peers and causing infighting. So, behind the back of other high-ranking members of the organization, he hired designers and a construction team to build a third research institute in the primeval forest on the border between China and Myanmar, which only he knew about.
The so-called Third Research Institute is, on the surface, a semi-underground wooden building of a small scale.
According to the topography of the forest, the designer perfectly combines the wooden house with the surrounding environment, which is natural, simple, hidden and low-key, and will not attract people's attention at all. Of course, there were no people in that primeval forest in the first place, and it was almost impossible to expose their targets.
Hidden beneath the simple wooden house is a huge experimental area, which is completely modern in design, filled with all kinds of precision instruments and experimental equipment.
Including Chu Jiyan, there are a total of ten R&D personnel in the Third Research Institute, all of whom are elites hired by Brian from the headquarters or branches of Ryan Pharmaceutical Group with high salaries. Among these people, the person Brian trusts and values the most is Chu Jiyan. But he never dreamed that this young and promising doctor with a superior IQ would betray him for money, ruining his years of hard work.
Twenty-four trafficked children live in that wooden house all year round. For them, it's an orphanage, it's home, it's a haven for them.
Most of them are too young to have any memories of the time they were trafficked. And a few of the smarter children are also gradually believing in the accumulated brainwashing that they are children abandoned by their parents because they have some strange disease. Only obediently receiving treatment from the doctor can they be qualified to step out of the forest and see the wider world.
In addition to its isolation and seclusion, it is like a real orphanage. There are aunts who take good care of their daily lives, teachers who teach them to read, draw, sing, and dance, uncles who keep them safe at all times, and doctors who check their bodies regularly. The real identities of these people are all members of the organization, and the doctors among them are the core team responsible for the development of drugs.
From the fall of 2014 to the summer of 2016, Chu Jiyan has been working on the improvement of EL series drugs in the Third Research Institute. Unlike the experimental project in the underground prison, their samples were rarely affected by the side effects of the drug, and the 24 children have been alive and well to this day, with no particularly serious adverse effects.
Because of this, their work is progressing quite smoothly, and drug development has been upgraded from the 27th to the 30th generation, with fewer defects, fewer side effects, and closer to success. It won't be long before this drug can be used for legal clinical trials, which has been Brian's dream for many years.
Chu Jiyan saw the opportunity and prepared to sell the mature drug samples and R&D materials to another American pharmaceutical company, and re-package the drug name and concept, so as to achieve the purpose of stealing the day.
While recounting these things, Chu Jiyan had already quickly drawn the floor plan of the entire research institute on the scratch paper that Gu Song had prepared for him in advance. From his grasp of size and space, as well as the way he handles lines, it can be seen that he has certain art and architectural skills.
Chu Jiyan explained that when he was a doctoral student at Princeton University, he often went to the architecture school there to audit undergraduate courses and practiced architectural sketching for several months.
As he spoke, he drew two bird's-eye views and perspectives of the institute on scratch paper, vividly and vividly showing the appearance of the wooden house and the surrounding environment, making people feel immersed.
"If you were given another two years, would you have won a Ph.D. in architecture by the way?" Gu Song said with admiration while watching Chu Jiyan draw on the straw paper.
Chu Jiyan never knew what modesty was, so he replied with a reason: "Then it goes without saying, there is nothing difficult for me to study." As long as it's what I want to learn, there's nothing I can't learn. ”
"Really?" Gu Song glanced up at him, "I don't think so." ”
"What did you say?"
Gu Song smiled and teased: "I'm afraid it's something you can't learn in your life." You're not like us normal people. ”
"Who are you to say about me?" Chu Jiyan pointed at Gu Song's nose with the tip of a pencil, "You're not a normal person, are you?" ”
"Okay, well, I'm not normal." Gu Song didn't want to argue with Chu Jiyan about this matter, so he resumed his serious tone and said, "I'll ask you the last two questions now." ”
"Just ask." Chu Jiyan withdrew his pencil and began to add characters and scenery to his perspective drawings.
"Is Brian hiding in Research Institute 3 now?"
"If he hadn't fled back to his hometown in the United States, he should have been."
"Please give me the coordinates of the Third Research Institute."
Chu Jiyan took out a piece of white paper and wrote two strings of numbers on it: 25°06′36"N, 97°48′11"E. Then he handed it to Gu Song and said half-jokingly: "The environment there is good, but there are a lot of mosquitoes." Don't forget to bring insect repellent water when you go. ”
