"What did you say, Wise Doctor?" Yusuke Kojima and Antagoko Nishimura were surprised. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"The person who created Ninen is President Honda." Wise Leopard replied.
"Why haven't I ever heard him talk about it!?" Yusuke Kojima asked.
"There's a reason for that, and Ning En has to be told about his reappearance." Wise replied.
A look of dissatisfaction flashed on Kojima's face, and he said, "Okay, let's go see him now!" ”
They emerged from the lab and took the elevator again, which climbed all the way up, and after a few seconds, the elevator stopped on the top 70th floor of the building.
As soon as the elevator door opened, Lin Fan's eyes widened, a second ago he was still in a skyscraper with modern decoration, but now he seemed to be in an antique Japanese garden! There are pavilions and pavilions here, ponds and pavilions, and the garden is full of rare and exotic plants.
"This top-floor courtyard was designed by Iwago (a famous Japanese architect), the guild hall of our old president." Xiao Dao introduced, Lin Fan secretly exclaimed in his heart.
"This way." Wise Leopard Horse led the way, and he walked up a stone path, and the three of them followed him.
The stone path was winding, and there were secluded bamboo forests on both sides, and after walking for about a few tens of meters, they finally saw the exit, and there was a temple at the exit. They came out of the bamboo forest and climbed the stone steps into the temple, which had an inner courtyard full of golden chrysanthemums.
The four of them walked through the inner courtyard and stopped in front of the attic, the other three began to take off their shoes, Lin Fan followed suit, and after the West Village Antelope on the side took off his high heels, he also coiled his long wavy hair into a bun, which was very charming of ancient beauties.
As they walked into the attic, a screen of Mt. Fuji painted in Chinese ink was in front of them, with the main room in the background. "Dr. Akechi, we'll wait here, and you can go and talk to President Honda." Yusuke Kojima said.
"Yes." The wise leopard immediately stepped forward to the door of the main room and respectfully asked for instructions in Japanese.
"Mr. Lin, wait a minute, you will meet our old president of Sanyo, Honda Muro, who is an honorary professor at the University of Tokyo in Japan, the most authoritative expert in the field of medicine and life sciences in Japan, the highest honor winner of the Japan Institute of Engineering, and the founder of the Sanyo Group." Yusuke Kojima.
Lin Fan nodded as if he didn't understand.
There was a response in the main room, and the door slowly opened, and an old man in a navy blue kimono appeared behind the door, he was not tall, he was thin, his hair was gray, his face was full of wrinkles and age spots, but his eyes were shining, and he looked very bold and wise.
"Hello President!" Yusuke Kojima and Antagoko Nishimura bowed their heads.
"Well, come in and talk." The old man said in Japanese.
Yusuke Kojima and Nishimura Anteloko respectfully walked into the room, Lin Fan followed behind, and as soon as they entered the main room, Lin Fan was shocked by the scene in front of him, and a towering green mountain covered with clouds and snow on the top of the mountain appeared on the other side of the main room.
"Is this Mt. Fuji?" Lin Fan couldn't help but ask out loud.
Nishimura Antagoshi nodded at him and smiled, "Yes, President Honda likes to see mountains, so he made an observation deck here. ”
Lin Fan found that behind the opposite door of the original main room is a terrace, which is facing Mount Fuji, with a magnificent view of Mount Fuji at a glance, and there is also a fish pond under the terrace, in which all kinds of koi fish swim, moving and still, the landscape is interdependent, this design is really breathtaking.
And since it is located at the top of a skyscraper, clouds drift from the terrace from time to time, and the entire attic is shrouded in a thin layer of mist, giving people the feeling of being in a fairyland.
The old man sat on a futon, Kojima, Ake, and Nishimura Antelope sat down, and Lin Fan didn't know the Japanese kneeling method, so he sat cross-legged.
Lin Fan observed the layout of the room and found that there was a shelf in the corner with a set of Japanese shogunate armor and a Japanese katana, and several calligraphy works written in Chinese characters hung on the wall, including Lao Tzu's "Getaway" - "There is a fish in the north of the underworld, and its name is Kun." The Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. Turned into a bird, its name is Peng. Peng's back, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. Flying in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky. It is a bird, and the sea will migrate to the south. Those who are in the south of the underworld, Tianchi is also ......"
"President, this is Lin from Ocean University of China, who once went to the South Pacific with Dr. Nishimura for a scientific expedition." Yusuke Kojima was the first to introduce.
"Hmm." Honda Muroya nodded.
"Teacher, I've found Ning'en." Wise Leopard Horse said.
"Where did you find it?"
"In the South Pacific, it was Yuo Nishimura who discovered it, and this Chinese student had seen it with his own eyes." Wise Leopard Horse pointed at Lin Fan, "We also found a piece of information on the computer in the West Village. Akechi glanced at Kojima.
"President, we found some information in Nishimura's computer, and I didn't have time to report it to you before, please take a look......" Kojima plugged the USB flash drive into a TV hanging on the wall.
Honda Muroya was shocked when he saw the contents inside, and he was silent for a long time.
Yusuke Kojima pointed to the white creature behind the group photo of Li Dong, Linda, and Nishimura Yu and asked, "President, what is going on with this Ning En, why have you never heard of it?" ”
Honda Muroya said, "This Nene is involved in an important secret, and only Akechi and Nishimura among my students know about it. ”
Kojima glanced at Wise Leopard Horse, and then asked, "Wise Doctor said you created Ningen?" ”
"Yes......" Honda Muroya didn't seem to want to mention it, but instead he asked Lin Fan, "Are you a student of the West Village?" ”
"Well, I'm not a student of Dr. Nishimura, but we were together when we went on a scientific expedition to the South Pacific." Lin Fan replied.
"Oh, can you tell me what you found in the South Pacific?" Honda Muroya asked.
Lin Fan told the story of the South Pacific expedition again.
……
"So...... Nishimura may have been buried at the bottom of the sea, right? Honda Muro's tone was sentimental.
"Hmm......" Lin Fan couldn't help but feel a little sad when he thought of his classmates.
"President, did they go to the South Pacific just to find that Ning En?" Kojima still wasted no time in asking.
"Perhaps." Honda Muroya did not answer Kojima's question directly.
"Why are they looking for this creature?" Nishimura Anteloko, who had been silent, asked at this time.
"......" Honda Muroya still didn't answer.
She continued, "President...... Can you tell us about Ningn's origins? ”
Honda Muroya looked at Nishimura Anteloko, sighed and said, "Okay, I'll tell you where it came from......"
He quietly looked at Mt. Fuji outside and said slowly: "In 1945, when I was 25 years old and a doctor in the Japanese army, in August of that year, the United States dropped two atomic bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima in order to induce Japan's surrender...... Then Emperor Hirohito of Showa declared defeat and surrender, the army was disbanded, and World War II ended. ”
"In the winter of 1945, as a member of the former Japanese Army's medical research unit, I was sent to Nagasaki City to treat residents infected by nuclear radiation. I saw that the city was in ruins everywhere, and because of the effects of nuclear radiation, the surrounding hills and fields were devoid of grass......" The corners of Hondamuro's mouth trembled slightly.
"We rebuilt a hospital on the ruins of Nagasaki City, and I worked in that hospital for several years, and I came into contact with some patients affected by nuclear radiation every day, some people had strange tumors in their bodies, some people had mutations in their internal organs, and they were basically patients with deformed mutations.
"In 1950, more than five years after the end of the war, Nagasaki and Hiroshima were largely rebuilt, and I received my doctorate from the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Tokyo thanks to my excellent work in Nagasaki for several years. When I returned to Tokyo, I thought that I would never have to face the terrible radiation patients again, but unexpectedly, the school assigned me another task, and it turned out that after the war in Nagasaki and Hiroshima, there were many problems of premature birth and malformations of newborns, and the government asked medical experts and scholars to investigate the cause of this incident. ”
"Because of this research mission, I began to travel back and forth between Nagasaki and Tokyo, and our research team specifically analyzed the causes of the newborns, which were basically born to survivors in Nagasaki and Hiroshima. That's when I really realized how harmful nuclear radiation can be – not only does it cause harmful diseases to the human body, but even human genes are mutated by the effects of nuclear radiation! ”
"At that time, the biological and medical communities did not understand the genetic mechanism of DNA, and Japan was desperate to restore its population after the war, so the government was very panicked about the occurrence of neonatal malformations, and we had to find a solution at all costs. At the time, our research team started with pregnant women, and we thought that as long as they were healthy pregnant women, they would not have a problem with baby malformations, but unfortunately, women who received sperm from adult males in Nagasaki and Hiroshima would still have a high risk of lesions. ”
"So what to do?"
"Since mutation is unavoidable, the only way to reduce the probability of mutation is to have married men and women in Nagasaki and Hiroshima who are planning to have children, collect their sperm and eggs, fertilize them on a large scale, and finally select embryos that have not undergone mutation, so as to reduce the problem of malformation and mutation in offspring."
"But to grow a large number of fertilized eggs into embryos, which was impossible to do in a laboratory with the medical technology of the time, and it was impossible to find so many women of the right age to do the work, I came up with the amazing idea of relying on animals to help us breed human fertilized eggs."
Lin Fan and the others all showed expressions of disbelief when they heard this.
