Chapter 40: Conclave

"The genome can be written in just four letters, G, C, A, T. G guanine deoxynucleotide, C cytosine deoxynucleotide, A adenine deoxynucleotide, T thymine deoxynucleotide). It has become commonplace to read, study, and compare the DNA sequences of humans and thousands of other species. A new technology promises to quickly make it possible to edit genetic information quickly and at a low cost. This corrects the horrific genetic defects that have ravaged lives, and it also heralds the distant prospects that parents can build their own children with order orders. ”

Luo Chuan heard this passage clearly, and also clearly saw that the person who spoke in this huge conference room was the panda teacher he had seen in the School of Biology.

The teacher who used to jokingly call him a "special human".

"Panda-Teacher-" Luo Chuan almost screamed, but was covered by the blue bird.

"It may take millions of years for humans to evolve naturally, but now we can do gene editing in a few days or weeks." Teacher Panda continued.

"My lab has tried to edit the genome of human embryos with SPR technology. Although these embryos do not develop to term, viable embryos may be designed within a few weeks due to treatment or non-medical enhancement reasons. Moreover, the group of fourteen-year-olds is already experimenting, and the talents needed to upgrade and build the planet are just around the corner."

"Group A, six survived and thirty-six failed." An old man said angrily, "How do you explain to the parents of those students?" Every time you upgrade these kids, you're going to kill more than half of them. ”

"Don't worry, Professor Nangong" Teacher Panda stood up and shook the white coat on his body, "One of the conditions for us to select experimental subjects is orphans"

Then, she accentuated, "That is, there are no parents or siblings. ”

"You ---," said the old man fiercely.

"I'm against this experiment." The old man said to the man sitting at the front of the meeting.

"Headmaster," the old man said to the man, "we have a moral bottom line, and we can't experiment on living people, especially teenagers." Not to mention those embryos that have not yet taken shape. ”

"Absolutely not" Professor Nangong's face was bloodshot, and the red was terrible.

Luo Chuan's eyes widened, he really couldn't believe that everything he saw in the deep groove just now was true.

They were really all test subjects.

And Teacher Panda knew that the experiment would kill many innocent students, but he did not waver, and his eyes did not even blink.

She's still not human!

Is there any sympathy, mercy!

The image of the panda teacher suddenly plummeted in Luo Chuan's heart.

Thinking that it was Mr. Panda's student who rushed into the museum yesterday and beat him up, I was even more angry.

No wonder her students are so arrogant, because she teaches them!

The principal would definitely be against the project.

Although he didn't know who the principal was, the core planet was such a prosperous and great planet, and the Ancient Divine Beast High School was the most appealing school in the interstellar world, and the principal would definitely support Professor Nangong to stop this project.

"The old man who objected just now is Professor Nangong, from the law school." Luo Chuan's communication device automatically searched for these materials as Luo Chuan's thinking went.

Luo Chuan looked intently at the person at the front of the meeting.

Everyone was looking at the guy at the front of the meeting, who was the principal.

"Colleagues," the president walked slowly around the conference room, walked around the tutors, and said solemnly, "As the president of this university, to be honest, I don't want to support this research. ”

Professor Nangong immediately breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the panda teacher opposite with a mocking look.

And the panda teacher remained silent.

The headmaster returned to his seat, unbuttoned his suit, and sat down.

"But," the conference room was silent, "Mr. Panda's research project has been supported by the highest fund on the planet"

"In keeping with the spirit of the Planetary Science Council," the Chancellor continued, "this will be our biggest plan of the year and the highest honor we have had since our founding. ”

Teacher Panda smiled meaningfully.

Professor Nangong lowered his head.

Luo Chuan turned his head to look at the blue bird.

It was only then that he realized that he was now in the conference hall of the Tiangong branch.

This conference hall has two floors, the first floor is where the panda teacher and their meeting are held, and the second floor is basically filled with some artworks.

He and Bluebird teleported across the Metal Plains before hiding behind a large blue and white porcelain on the second floor.

The bluebird looked motionless ahead.

The eyes were glazed, an expression of despair.

"Let's go," she said after a long time.

"The meeting hasn't finished yet," Luo Chuan said.

Then, the blue bird turned his head and left, and Luo Chuan followed.

Soon, they walked out of the conference hall.

"Cold," Luo Chuan said.

Outside the conference hall, it was freezing and icy.

Snowflakes flutter in the wind.

"It turns out that the Tiangong branch is winter," Luo Chuan was a little excited, "I haven't seen snowflakes for a long time." ”

Luo Chuan thought that the blue bird would laugh when she saw the snowflakes, but who knows, she still has an expression that no one wants to mess with her.

The entire Tiangong branch seemed to press the mute button, and it was silent in an instant.

"You're not afraid of death?" The blue bird suddenly stopped and looked at Luo Chuan, who was still smiling at the snowflakes in front of him.

"I'm afraid."

"I'm so excited to die."

"The entire Divine Beast High School students are experiments," Blue Bird paused, "including you"

Luo Chuan looked at Xuehua with unfinished thoughts and said softly, "I know what it feels like to die, so I'm not afraid." ”

"But" Luo Chuan lowered his voice, but his voice was deeper.

"I can't accept my friends and my loved ones as test subjects"

Bluebird looked at him motionlessly. At this moment, she felt a feeling of emotion.

"Thank you." Blue Bird smiled bitterly, vaguely remembering that her definition of transforming a person is omnipotent, and the definition of "garbage man" is chaotic, Luo Chuan is the first and probably the only "garbage man" she has known since she was a child.

A "garbage man" can have this kind of awareness, even the panda teacher never expected.

Anyway, she was grateful to him for saying that.

From today onwards, he is a friend.

Bluebird told herself.

"Can you tell me where we're going now?" Luo Chuan asked.

"Wandering the world," the bluebird smiled.

What a martial arts sentence, Luo Chuan smiled, "I've read too many martial arts novels."

However, everything in front of him made him hide his laughter back in his stomach.

The white earth, the snow gathered together, like a giant dragon, surrounded them.

Teleport

However, neither she nor Luo Chuan moved.

Teleportation fails.

The snow is still falling.

Luo Chuan, who was only wearing a summer school uniform, was even colder.
