Chapter 31: The Beginning of the Beginning

The next day, the Si siblings waited in an arranged café in Manhattan for the protagonist who needed to meet today, Dr. Reed Charlize. Sinan was eating ice cream while looking at the furnishings in the café. It's not Sinan turtle, I haven't seen the world, and this café is not very high-end, mainly because I was a little shocked when I first entered the café.

"I said, sister, why are you running such a café?" That's right! This café was opened by Si Lan, and when he came in just now, the waiter who received them opened his mouth with a sentence of "Boss!" Si Nan didn't react for a long time. However, Si Lan had already gotten used to it, so he explained a few words very casually, and then took Si Nan to a seat.

"I want to have some delicious ice cream after school." Si Lan was also eating ice cream while answering his brother's question very casually.

Sinan's face twitched a little, because he wanted to eat ice cream, he opened a café? What the hell is this logic! You opened a café because you wanted to eat ice cream, and I had to apply for money from you for weeks to buy a figurine......

At this moment, Sinan had the urge to deduct the unfinished ice cream in front of him on his sister's head. But thinking of the result after doing this, Sinan still decided to turn his grief and anger into appetite and gulp out the remaining ice cream.

Soon, the appointed time was approaching, and Reed Charlize and Ben Graham showed up on time.

"Hello, I'm Reed Charlize. You are ...... Mr. Sinan? Reed was a little skeptical about the identity of the young Asian he saw.

"What? What do you think is wrong? Do I need to show my own documents to prove my identity? Sinan looked at Reed a little unpleasantly.

"Oh no, no, no...... I mean you're really young, I just didn't expect that. It's really ......" Reed also reacted, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he offended the gold lord in front of him, so he immediately tried his best to make amends. His friend Ben also spoke up on the side to help: "Reed, he didn't mean to offend, but he didn't expect you to be so young and promising, so he would be a little out of shape." ”

"Okay, I understand." Sinan shrugged his shoulders and turned over this one, making the two people opposite breathe a sigh of relief.

"So, let's talk about your plans." After inviting the two to sit down, Sinan decided to get straight to the point. Reed looked left and right, and said a little hesitantly, "Just... At... Over here? I think we should find a more ......" Reed's words were interrupted by Sinan: "What's more? A quieter, more intimate place? ”

"No, Mr. Reed, I suppose you didn't figure it out? I'm not here for you to make a report, I'm here to hear how you can convince me. As a capitalist, all I want is to get more profits. No matter how much your research can help the world, it must first and foremost satisfy my interests. Sinan's words made Reed and Ben look ugly, especially Reed, who was angry and ready to leave directly.

Si Lan glanced at Sinan with some disgust, and opened his mouth to try to calm the mood of the two opposite: "Dr. Reed, my brother didn't mean that. After all, this investment is huge, and if it fails, we will go bankrupt, so he wants you to make some guarantees. Maybe Si Lan's words played a certain role, Reed and Ben looked at each other for a while, and the two decided to talk to the Mr. Sinan in front of them again.

"Mr. Sinan, please allow me to give a brief account of my research." Sinan nodded, making a deaf look. Reed saw Sinan's expression and felt that there was still hope to impress the person in front of him, so his tone couldn't help but be a little excited: "Sir, according to my research, cosmic storms can cause the evolution of life. And after half a year, there will be a 'cloud' of such energy through the Earth's orbit, and if it can be studied in the sky, human cognition of genes will lead to countless diseases, prolong life, and allow children to get longer, healthier, and stronger ......."

"Sorry for interrupting." Sinan interrupted Dr. Reed's rambling. He stopped for a moment, then asked Reed, "I would like to ask you, have you considered the possible consequences of this experiment?" The human body mutates or evolves under the irradiation of cosmic energy, as if ...... Mutants alike. Si Lan's expression was also very solemn, she didn't know what her mood was now? If it is really like Sinan said, this research has started the path of human evolution, then it is the best result for mutants. They are no longer outliers, but pioneers of human evolution. But what if that's not the case? Will the relationship between the more 'evolved' humans and the 'alien' race of mutants become more strained?

"No, no, no! Nothing like that will happen. My research was only to optimize genes, and mutants had mutations in the genetic chain. Not the same. When Reed heard Sinan's question, he was stunned for a moment, and then quickly explained the difference between the two. After all, mutants don't have a good reputation in this society, and Reed thinks Sinan is afraid of being associated with mutants.

"But mutants are no different from ordinary people in their genes before they awaken, and they only changed after awakening. Can you be sure that your research won't spur the X-gene awakening and cause all of humanity to become mutants? "It is undeniable to hear Reed's explanation, and continue to 'question' Reed's research.

In fact, this is a sudden thought of Sinan: What would happen if all human beings evolved into mutants or mutants? This world is not just a world of human beings, there are mutants in this world, and there may even be other mutant races. If Reed's research stimulates the awakening of the X gene, will all the X carriers in the world awaken as a result? Originally, such a result was something that Sinan was happy to see, so that Si Lan's safety was greatly guaranteed. But when I think about it, if all of humanity were to become mutants and mutants, the world would definitely fall into turmoil, and human society might collapse. And if you think that the children of Reid and Susan in the original book are powerful mutants, then at least one of the two of them is an X gene carrier. But both of them were irradiated by cosmic energy, but they did not awaken the X gene, which proved that Sinan's idea was not feasible.

Although Sinan's idea was not very feasible, at this time Reed fell into this doubt. Ben, who was sitting on the side, saw that Reed had entered the 'working state', and immediately spoke up: "Don't worry, sir." Our research is safe and will never cause the kind of problems you think. yes, Reed. As he spoke, he slapped Reed twice with his elbow to wake him up from his work.

"Huh? Yes...... Oh yes, no problem. Reed, who came to his senses, also reflected and hurriedly assured the gold lord in front of him. He didn't want to scare away the gold owner in front of him, as for the questions raised by the gold owner, he could go back and study it more and try to eliminate the hidden dangers in this regard.

"Really?" Sinan replied with some inexplicability. Then, with the "failed" expressions on the faces of Reed and Ben, Sinan asked such a question: "So, how much money do you need?" ”

The two looked surprised. They thought that they had not impressed the people in front of them to invest in their projects, but they did not expect that in the blink of an eye, the financiers asked them how much money they needed. What does this mean? And they succeeded! The two of them were a little excited, but they still maintained their demeanor.

Reed swallowed and said with some nervousness: "Billion! ”
