CHAPTER XVI
Yu Tao thought to himself, the two choices that Teacher He gave him, when he said the first way, his tone was clear and sincere, and the second way, when he said it, his tone was low and scary. said that there were two choices, but in fact, it was clear that only he was allowed to choose the first one. "0 If Mr. He wanted me to be with his cousin, he couldn't have said that. If he doesn't want me to be with his cousin, I'd be looking for death if I chose that. ”
Yu Tao thought for a while, and then gently said the answer in his mouth: "I choose to continue the dandelion project!" ”
Teacher He nodded with satisfaction, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Good job!" I'll train you like my own brother! ”
Yu Tao's eyesight has recovered, and he no longer has intermittent fever, he thinks he is cured, but the department doctor still does not let him be discharged, and he is tested every day.
Yu Tao didn't know why, but he felt a subtle change in his eyes.
Not only did he regain his sight, but he felt that his eyesight was even better than before he was blind, and when he was in good spirits, he could see very small things in the distance, and he was sure that he was not farsighted, because he could see things in near him very clearly. In the middle of the night, he sometimes woke up in a dream, and he could see the things around him very clearly just by the faint moonlight shining through the window.
Gradually, both Mr. He and the medical staff noticed the changes in his eyes, and the medical staff began to perform various vision tests on him.
With a standard eye chart, Yu Tao can clearly indicate the direction of any element in the eye chart from 20 meters away; On a newspaper filled with 3,000 different Chinese characters at random, he could quickly find the words "Yu and Tao".
The most amazing thing is that the medical staff wrote a number on the blade of the electric fan, and then let the fan rotate rapidly, it is impossible for a normal person to distinguish the rotating fan blade, and when Yu Tao focused his eyes hard, he could actually distinguish the number written on the rapidly rotating fan blade.
Yu Tao's extraordinary eyesight surprised everyone, but whenever he overused his eyes, he would feel a severe migraine. But the good thing is that after each rest and recuperation, the discomfort will dissipate.
Yu Tao found his superiority in the experiment, and his heart swelled with great joy, he imagined how his special talent would be reused in the future, and imagined that when he became famous, would Mr. He change his mind and let Wang Xiaoyu be with him?
On this day, the doctor took a blood test for Yu Tao.
"Doctor, why do you think my eyes have changed so much after I have regained my sight?" Yu Tao finally couldn't help but ask this question.
The doctor raised his eyes and glanced at Yu Tao, lowered his head to sort out the blood sample he had just taken, and said, "I don't know either." ”
If it was before, Yu Tao would have given up. But now, the moment his eyes met the doctor's eyes, he clearly noticed the micro-expressions flashing in the corners of the doctor's eyes, and such a perceptive vision seemed to see through all the subtext that the doctor wanted to hide in his heart. The doctor's eyes were clearly saying, "Why would he ask this?" He must be aware, right? Probably not, maybe just ask, and I'll just answer naturally......"
No one likes to be deceived, especially when you can tell that the other person must be lying to you.
"You know!" Yu Tao was a little angry, and his tone was very low, as if he was venting his dissatisfaction.
The doctor raised his head and looked at Yu Tao.
The change in the doctor's heart was once again captured by Yu Tao's sharp eyes: "Ah! Does this kid know anything? Impossible! He must have no basis for guessing, I can just pretend to be calm. ”
The doctor's mental changes are extremely fast, but what he doesn't know is that these psychological changes of surprise, hesitation, thinking, decision, and disguise will show different micro-expressions in the different permutations and combinations of the 44 muscles on the face, although the time for each micro-expression to appear may only be about 0.2 seconds, but in Yu Tao's eyes, all this is very clear.
Yu Tao didn't speak, he protested with his eyes.
The doctor looked at him with disdain.
The doctor had planned to glance at him and turn away, but he didn't want to make him shudder. Yu Tao's eyes were deep, like a terrifying black hole, firmly absorbing the doctor's gaze. These eyes seemed to be able to see through every cell in the doctor's body, and it didn't feel like a patient asking the doctor a question, but like a God who could read his thoughts was patiently waiting to hear him repent.
"Why do my eyes change like this?" Yu Tao stared at the doctor's somewhat distracted eyes and asked.
The doctor looked at Yu Tao in a daze, and slowly opened his mouth and said, "Gene mutation."
If it was placed in the past, Yu Tao really didn't know much about gene mutations, but after he participated in the Dandelion Project, he studied biology for half a year and had a certain rational understanding of gene mutations. It is important to know that the causes of genetic mutations include analogue insertion and chemical changes caused by drugs and radioactivity. The genetic mutations caused by analogue involvement are mainly directed at bacteria, so the main cause of genetic mutations in humans is radioactivity or chemical changes caused by drugs. Radioactivity is impossible, could it be the reason for the doctor's medication? Yu Tao calculated in his heart.
"Genetic mutations, what about the triggers?" Yu Tao continued to ask.
"Ingestion of radioactive materials. Radioactive neutrons disrupt the original DNA chain structure, resulting in genetic mutations. The doctor replied mechanically.
Yu Tao found that the doctor's pupils were shrinking. The pupils of the human eye only constrict when exposed to bright light or when consciousness is lost. Apparently there is no glare right now.
Yu Tao took a deep breath and continued to ask the doctor: "Then tell me, how did I come into contact with radioactive materials?" ”
The doctor was like an interrogated person who knew everything, and answered Yu Tao's questions with an expressionless face. "In the Dandelion Project, each test subject has a small dose of targeted radioactive source placed under his dormitory bed. In the winter, a large dose of targeted radioactive source is attached to the heating wire of your homemaker's induction cooker. You're all genetically mutated through this pathway. ”
"What! You're saying that all of us who participate in the Dandelion Project are experiments? Are they all exposed to radiation? Yu Tao was shocked and angry, he didn't believe that this was the truth, he didn't believe that this was the so-called dandelion plan to dedicate himself to the country.
"Yes, forty subjects with outstanding IQs and superior physical fitness, all of whom received targeted radiation." The doctor replied.
After Yu Tao heard it, a buzz exploded in his head. "So, how many classmates are hospitalized?"
"All of them have been hospitalized, but 35 samples have failed." The doctor said.
"What does it mean to declare a failure?" Yu Tao's voice was full of anger.
"It's just dead." The doctor said.
"What about Wang Xiaoyu? She, how is she? Yu Tao asked worriedly.
"She's out of the hospital." The doctor said.
"Where did she go?"
"I don't know."
Yu Tao's mind was spinning rapidly: "Then, what is the specific purpose of the Dandelion Project?" ”
"NASA predicts that a devastating meteor shower will land on Earth within a few years, and even if it survives, it will not be able to escape the deadly blow of radiation and the worldwide storm. Disorderly. Based on this, the Dandelion Project aims to form our country's own biochemical variant troops, which can adapt to future disasters and defend our country. ”
