Chapter 40: The Missing Professor
In the dark, Lin Huoxiao woke up slowly, the knock on the door was not hurried, he opened his eyes and got used to it for a while, and then he remembered where he was. The mysterious man never appeared again, and Lin Huoxiao lived as a father in this magical past world for a few days.
"Who?" Lin Huoxiao slowly stood up and walked to the door in a daze.
"Jianyi, it's me. Mr. Guo said that there will be a technical conference in half an hour, you get up quickly, and go eat something with me first. Outside the door was Huang Shaokang's voice. Lin Huoxiao's heart warmed, maybe his father was not alone in the many years he had been in this base, at least he had a close friend to accompany him.
"Here we are." Lin Huoxiao scanned the room again and made sure that the mysterious man did not appear, so he opened the door and walked out.
followed Huang Shaokang to the special dining hall, and the two of them ordered some food casually and then found a corner to sit down. The spacious lobby, bright and brilliant lighting, the flow of people and the noisy voices make Lin Huoxiao feel like he has returned to the past. Suddenly, he had a strong yearning for the past.
"Jianyi, there are a few words, I don't know whether to say it or not." Huang Shaokang lowered his head to eat the food, raised his eyelids and glanced at Lin Huoxiao.
"Say, what should and should not be said."
"This old man always feels weird to me, as if he's looking for some help. Actually, I don't really see how much enthusiasm he has for your project. ”
"Hehe, can you see the enthusiasm? Who is he looking for, how do you know? ”
"Some time ago, a German from the 1st Brigade was transferred to our detachment. He was about the same age as me, and he also had the rank of captain, and after getting acquainted with him, he often chatted before I learned that he voluntarily applied for a salary reduction and was transferred. ”
"Salary cuts and job transfers? Is that appealing? ”
"yes. Later, I learned that he also had a five-year-old daughter. An accident, I don't know what the accident was, his daughter's two feet are missing even her calves, it's quite miserable. ”
"You mean, he joined our project and wanted to find a solution? Cure his daughter? ”
"Well, that's pretty much what it means, and it's approved from above. He told me that his daughter was in the first batch of 134 genetic dust pairs, and that he had been waiting for this day for a long time. ”
"Gene dust pairing?"
"yes, isn't it a gene dust pairing? Jianyi, why are you weird these two days? Huang Shaokang raised his head and looked at Lin Huoxiao with a frown.
"It's okay, it's too stressful. So, Buckflo has been looking for him these days? Lin Huoxiao hurriedly changed the topic.
"yes. Broad mentioned it to me last night, and he said that the Englishman came to him every day and asked him the same question. So I asked him what the problem was, and he said, "If you can promise to help me, I will give you one thing to ensure that your daughter will get well immediately." ”
"Broad?"
"Yes, it's the German brother."
"What can Buckflo give him? The legs and feet are gone, how can it be okay? Lin Huoxiao pondered Huang Shaokang's repeated words. If this is true, then what does he do with a security captain?
"So he kept begging me to ask you, how is the project going? How sure is the gene dust matching? Also, is there really such a drug that can regrow limb tissue in other countries at present? ”
"Nonsense, there is no such thing. Eighty percent of the Germans made up a pretense to ask you about me! Lin Huoxiao shook his head helplessly and replied casually. He wanted to laugh in his heart, but he couldn't see that Uncle Huang, who was not smiling, was so shy and tactful when he was young.
"No, no, no, he's not like that, I don't believe he could make it up. You should observe Buck Flo, in fact, if you think about it, he came to China thousands of miles away, and there are a lot of strange things in it. First of all, his motives are not clear......"
"Hey, okay, Huang ...... Shaokang. Lin Huoxiao almost couldn't help but call Uncle Cheng, "Although you are a professional in this area, this is too sensitive." He is a foreign old man in his sixties, in China, or in the large base of the military region, what can he do? Finished eating, right? Let's go. Without continuing the topic, Lin Huoxiao looked at the time, thinking about the upcoming meeting, and trembled slightly with excitement.
The technical conference was held in a small hall on the second floor of the base. When Lin Huoxiao and Huang Shaokang arrived, the auditorium was almost full. Lin Huoxiao saw his father's name in the first row, and at the same time, Huang Shaokang also gently pushed him and motioned for him to sit down. Next to his place was Professor Buckflot's seat, but it was still empty. Directly opposite the seats is a giant screen that occupies the entire wall of the auditorium.
In the center of the screen is written the words "Report on the Stripping of Gene Dust No. 45". Gene dust No. 45 is the latest work of his father, Lin Jianyi, and the object of its stripped is an ancient marine plant called rhoducheta. The 45th genetic dust stripped from the rhuclea is very special, it can store and release a very large amount of energy, if this genetic dust can be perfectly matched with human genes, then the strength and longevity of human cells will be greatly increased. In terms of energy storage and utilization, thanks to the huge number of neurons as a framework and system guidance, it will be possible for human beings to break through the fragile limitations of carbon-based life and enter a new level of evolution!
Today's meeting is a panel discussion on the pairing of gene dust No. 45.
At the entrance of the auditorium, a bald middle-aged man walked in surrounded by several scientific research assistants, and at a glance he saw Lin Huoxiao sitting quietly in the first row, and hurriedly walked up, "Xiaolin, why are you sitting here by yourself, Professor Buckfloo?" ”
"Teacher Guo." Lin Huoxiao politely greeted the bald man, "Shaokang said that the professor was with you, so I didn't go over to bother." Why, didn't you come with the professor? ”
"I parted from the professor half an hour ago. He said to come to you to check the material of Gene Dust No. 45, and I asked him to bring three samples to you. Why, you didn't meet? ”
Lin Huoxiao's heart suddenly burst out, and he turned his head to look at Huang Shaokang behind him, and the two of them frowned almost at the same time. Lin Huoxiao glanced at Huang Shaokang to take a look, and the latter immediately understood and hurriedly rushed out of the door. Teacher Guo's bald head reflected the bright lights, he looked at Lin Huoxiao suspiciously, didn't say anything, turned around and walked onto the podium in the auditorium.
A few minutes later, Lin Huoxiao's communicator rang. Lin Huoxiao hurriedly connected, and Huang Shaokang's voice sounded very anxious, "Jianyi, this old man really has a problem, the people are gone, and the things are gone!" ”
Lin Huoxiao's heart suddenly burst out, "What's missing?" ”
"The black box that Mr. and Mrs. Wuyang gave you, the project log of No. 45 gene dust, and 6 samples of gene dust are all gone!"
