Victor didn't ask more, instead he looked at Reed, "That is, our great Reed Richards, trust you and this junior of mine." You know, when you were at MIT, many of your classmates felt like they were junior high school idiots at tech fairs. So today you came to me for help, it makes me a little proud, please don't mind. ”

Although Reed was a little annoyed by Victor's sarcasm, he decided to bow to his former friend and rival for the sake of his own scientific research, "If you support this plan, I will give you a reasonable commission for all the results in the end." ”

Victor's expression turned cold, "75%! All applications and patents are attached. Such a request is simply a lion's mouth.

Reed's good friend Ben sarcastically said, "Why don't you just squeeze him dry?" ”

Victor obviously knew that for Reed, the amount of money was not a problem, on the contrary, it was being able to conduct the research that was the most important thing. So he laughed and said, "Ben, forget it, 25% of a billion dollars is enough for you for a while, isn't it?" Maybe you'll be able to pay the fourth instalment of the Bacchus Mansion. ”

Victor shrugged, he looked at Reed's expression, and knew that this scientific dead house had basically agreed, so he reached out his hand, "Deal?" ”

Reid held out his hand, which made Victor look good, and he said, "Okay, for our future, for everyone's future." It's funny that things turn out like this, isn't it? ”

Reid sighed, "It's funny. ”

Victor seemed to remember Lin Ming, who had been standing aside, except for showing the ancient plant just now, who had been very silent, "Besides, Mr. Lin, are you and Reed together, or do you want to work with me alone?" ”

"Naturally, it's alone, but my research is a double insurance for your company, no matter what happens, you can come up with a forward-looking, cross-era experiment, isn't it?"

Victor looked at Lin Ming's faint smile, and couldn't help but jump in his heart, obviously this was a situation he hadn't expected before. It is true that Reed is a good partner to work with, but the Chinese in front of him may not be. Although it seems to be more ignorant of interpersonal communication than Reed, the kind of dead house that is bent on scientific experiments.

"What conditions do you have?"

"I'm going to be part of this experiment in the form of a technology stake. And I'd love to see if my experiments become more stable in the space environment. ”

"So, you're going to take part in this space operation too?"

"Yes, I can provide some of the data and results of my research, even the technology. But I needed a large lab and some professionals to help me continue this research. ”

"So can I know what your experiments are doing now?"

"There are some results, but they are not enough."

At this time, Reed and Ben had already packed up their instruments and asked, "Lin, are you going back with us?" ”

"No, I'd like to talk to Dr. Doom alone."

Ben stepped forward and patted Lin Ming on the shoulder, as if to encourage and remind him that Doom was not an easy person to get along with.

After Reed and Bendu left, Lin Ming's demeanor became relaxed, he looked into Dum's eyes, and he could vaguely hear what this guy was thinking in his heart.

"Do you suspect that I will be as fond of academic fraud as other Chinese people? But I can't deceive Reed, and I certainly can't deceive Your Excellency. Believe me, this is indeed part of the experiment. ”

Lin Ming directly cut off a finger on the spot in front of Dum, but there was no blood flow, on the contrary, Lin Ming reattached the broken finger of his hand to the broken place, as if hallucination, and the finger was connected intact.

Lin Ming's expression seemed to be a little tired, but he still pretended to be fighting his spirit and said, "Lizards, geckos, earthworms, etc., many life beings living on this planet have such the ability to be reborn with severed limbs. According to genetic testing, the genetic difference between us humans and other animals is actually between 0.01% and 5%. ”

Dum had already understood one of the important values of Lin Ming's research, and he said in a deep voice: "Why did you choose to cooperate with Fangdu Group. ”

"Because you're not an American."

This made Doom's expression change, but he suddenly laughed, "Yes, I'm a Latvia." I've almost forgotten, thanks to Mr. Lin's reminder. ”

Lin Ming did not continue to talk to Dum about anything, and the first meeting point was over. Just get him interested, and there's no need to really talk about anything. After all, there are still six weeks before that experiment in space. During this time, it was enough for Lin Ming to do many things.

After Lin Ming left, Victor's assistant walked in from outside, and he said to the assistant: "If Reed is right, then this little trip can double our company's stock price." There are also more interesting options now. ”

"What if he's wrong?"

"No, Reed, he can't be wrong! But he never knew what he was worth. ”

"And what about the other Chinese?"

"There's always a little surprise in life, doesn't it? After all, even if it's God, not everything is in your hands. ”

"Isn't that a trick? I've heard that those Chinese people are very good at tricks. ”

"Reed is a smart man, he saw it with his own eyes. And I saw it with my own eyes. I believe in my eyes. ”

"Isn't that some kind of Oriental mystical witchcraft?"

"There is no witchcraft in this world, and there will be a rational scientific explanation for all unknown, mysterious, and incomprehensible phenomena to human beings. Even God can be created by humans! ”

After Lin Ming walked out of Fangdu Mansion, he saw Reed and Ben Zheng waiting in the square, which made him feel warm in his heart, these two people were really good people. That's the good thing about fantasy worlds, where good people and bad people are easy to distinguish from, and not as complex and changeable as the real world.

Reid asked, "Victor, did he agree?" ”

"Yes, the technology is a shareholder, and he agreed to give me a 15% commission."

Ben was furious: "Oh my God, he's just a vampire becoming." I heard that he is from Eastern Europe, and there is no Dracula blood in the family. ”

Lin Ming smiled, "Actually, for me, this research can help many people in this world. Those who are physically disabled, who have genetic diseases. So as long as I've gotten what I want, it's enough. Not to mention that I've never been to space before, and the thought of experimenting in that environment makes me excited. ”

His words gave Reid a sense of identity from the bottom of his heart, "That's right, we are scientists, and we shouldn't always be involved in our careers and money." Even if he has money, it is meaningless if it does not help the entire human race. ”

"Alright, alright! If you two don't look the same, I'd suspect you're brothers. Now let's find a restaurant to eat at first. Then ask Reed to arrange a room for you at his place. ”

Lin Ming had vaguely mentioned to Reed before that he had just come to New York and had not yet found a suitable place to rent.

"Thank you very much."

"You're welcome, we're a team, aren't we?"

In fact, Reed left Lin Ming behind, on the one hand, because he felt that they all graduated from the same school, and Lin Ming's skills also made him admire him very much. On the other hand, he also wants to study the hidden evolutionary mystery of the human genome from another direction.

At a restaurant on the side of the road, Ben ordered a lot of high-calorie food, and of course he was a space shuttle pilot and was physically strong. And neither Lin Ming nor Reed are the kind of people who like to eat and drink.

"I know that there are a lot of cattle in your country!" I thought about it, but I suddenly couldn't remember who I knew, uh, "Bruce Lee is from your Chinese, right?" By the way, there are also Jackie Chan and Jet Li, and Michelle Yeoh ......"

It seems that Ben likes to watch action movies very much, so he has the impression that both Chinese and Chinese are action stars.

Reed smiled awkwardly and said, "I know that Qian ** and Yang **, such as the law of non-conservation of cosmic symmetry of weak interactions, are very great. and even the basis of many modern frontier sciences. Reid then mentions several people he knows about Chinese scientists and scientific institutions. ”

"Yes, they are also famous in our country."

"Your country is growing fast, but I haven't been there yet. But please don't think of me as one of those Americans who has been misled and brainwashed by the media's rhetoric. I know that there are some problems in your country, and maybe we have different philosophies. But at the same time, I also know that there are many problems that are common to all of humanity. It's not just for your country, as the media say. ”

"Yes, there are a lot of new industries that are moving to East Asia right now. You must know that the population of the whole Asia accounts for more than 58% of the whole world, and there are important countries such as China, India, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia. Many electronics industries, as well as large research institutes, have begun to move there. ”

"I know that in Japan, they are actually very capable of scientific research. Especially when it comes to studying the potential of the human body, for example, several research groups at Waseda University, with whom I once talked at an international conference. However, none of their research has been as in-depth as Mr. Lin's, and it can even be said that they are brave. ”

After dinner, we drove to Reed's laboratory, which is the Bacchus Building. Lin Ming looked at this huge private laboratory and sighed, "This place is awesome, it's just a dream place." ”

Ben, who was lying on the couch and was about to watch TV for a while, smiled, "I always feel that Reed has completely messed up work and life. Probably that's how people like you see it that way. ”

"By the way, have you studied the cause of this genetic mutation in your body?"

Reed asked directly, but it didn't make Lin Ming feel disgusted, he thought for a while and said, "I once examined my cells under the microscope. I've noticed that the number of mitochondria is increasing dramatically. And some of the genetic fragments are starting to become completely different from humans or any kind of life I know. But this is not a persistent mutation, on the contrary, it will revert after a period of time. This is one of the topics I want to study. ”
