"What's wrong? Are there any difficulties? ”

When he heard Zhang Yu say that "it is technically feasible to have a healthy child", Duan Pingsi was also excited, but Zhang Yu suddenly added the word "but", and his heartstrings tightened again.

"Well...... not really, so ......, you come to be my assistant, this matter is half the battle, what do you think?" Zhang Yu on the other side of the phone paused and said.

"Be your assistant? Are you going to do it yourself? ”

Duan Pingsi suddenly became vigilant, Zhang Yu asked himself to be his assistant, which meant that Zhang Yu had to "operate" himself, but Duan Pingsi had never heard that Zhang Yu still had the ability to do this.

As far as Duan Pingsi knows, Zhang Yu is mainly engaged in research on gene sequencing related technologies, and as for "genetic improvement", he has never published any related papers, unless the technology of TOM (Human Origins) has developed to the point where he can use this technology by skillfully conducting experimental operations.

"Don't worry, this kind of simple 'genetic surgery' won't be difficult for me at all, you just need to give me a hand, so that you can save two or three hundred thousand dollars!" Zhang Yu seemed excited to explain.

"I see!"

Duan Pingsi finally understood that Zhang Yu wanted to take matters into his own hands to reduce the cost of surgery for his cousin and sister-in-law, if this was the case, for the happiness of his cousin and sister-in-law, of course he was willing to take a risk.

"How? If you can, you can bring them for a check-up in a few days, and as long as their physical conditions allow, we will have surgery immediately! Zhang Yu urged again.

"Hmmm! Well, I'll bring them in a few days before we start school, and I'll bother you then! ”

"You're welcome, just come to me!"

Duan Pingsi gritted his teeth again, thinking that for the sake of his cousin and sister-in-law, he would let it out this time, no matter what kind of villain he Zhang Yu was or an alien, he would have to go to his company to break in.

"How is it, big brother, what did Professor Zhang say?"

"Yes, Siping, does he have a way?"

Seeing that Duan Pingsi hung up the phone, the cousin and sister-in-law couldn't wait to ask about the results of his inquiry, even though they had clearly heard Zhang Yu say that there was a way, but they still wanted to get confirmation from Duan Pingsi's mouth again.

"In ten days, I'll take you there, whether it's okay or not, I'll talk about it after checking, I hope there is still a little bit, of course, the risk is not small, it depends on how you decide?"

Duan Pingsi tried his best to make the hope a little smaller and the risk a little bigger, hoping that his cousins and sisters-in-law would be able to consider whether they were willing to take the risks that might exist.

It is certainly a good thing to help others, but he Duan Pingsi is also afraid of doing bad things with good intentions, his cousin and sister-in-law are his dearest brothers and sisters-in-law, if he messes things up, it is really difficult to explain to them.

"Look at what you said, we are already like this, what are the risks we are afraid of, it doesn't matter if the operation is not successful, even if our lives are in danger, we have to give it a try, you can rest assured!"

The cousin said seriously, and the cousin-in-law kept nodding in agreement, and they showed Duan Pingsi their determination to want a "healthy child".

"Alright then, let's go to the provincial capital to find him in ten days!" Duan Pingsi finally agreed to them.

In these ten days, Duan Pingsi helped his father go up the mountain to chop some firewood and came back, and helped his mother wash some clothes and bedding, while his parents prepared a few bottles of hot sauce and two generations of bacon for him to take back to school to eat.

When Duan Pingsi took his cousin and sister-in-law on the road, they were full of hope, and even talked about how to educate the soon-to-be-born child on the way.

This made Duan Siping even more headache, in case there were three long and two short in the "operation", even if his brother and sister-in-law didn't blame him, he would have a bad conscience.

The three of them arrived at the provincial capital that night, and Duan Ping thought that it was too late to regret it, so he had to let his brother and sister-in-law live in a cheaper hotel first, and he took a taxi to the suburbs.

He wanted to go to Zhang Yuhang and ask him to provide some ways to protect his safety, it would be great if he could have some small objects for self-defense, because for Zhang Yu, he always had that pimple in his heart.

However, when Duan Pingsi came to the location of the iron gate as usual, he was surprised to find that the originally heavy iron gate had disappeared, replaced by an eerie hole.

Duan Pingsi walked carefully along the entrance of the cave, it was dark, there were no rooms, no equipment, and of course no humans, only a few rats running around in it.

I can't believe that the once "glorious future" "Future Operations Command Center" has been dismantled at some point, Duan Pingsi dialed Zhang Yuhang's mobile phone, and the other party reminded that the mobile phone had been shut down.

"What's going on?"

Coming out to the entrance of the cave and looking at the ruins inside, Duan Pingsi was full of emotion, he didn't expect that "such a big" change had occurred in the more than 40 days since he left......

The next day, Duan Pingsi still brought his cousin and sister-in-law to TOM (Human Origin) as promised, Zhang Yu and his colleagues warmly received them, and after greetings, they got to the point.

"I can understand your anticipation, after all, I am also a father. However, we still have to take it one step at a time, and we can't rush it! ”

Zhang Yu said to the couple who were full of hope and anxious.

"It's okay, Professor Zhang, as long as you are willing to make a move, we can accept any result!" Duan Pingsi's cousin replied, but the anxiety in his heart obviously did not decrease at all.

"Then let's get started, let's check our physical condition first!"

Zhang Yu pointed to the two examination rooms for men and women.

An hour later, the results of the examination came out, and Duan Pingsi's brother and sister-in-law did not have any physical problems, which means that they could have children.

The next step is to remove healthy sperm and eggs from the body of the man and woman, respectively, and then combine them outside the body to fertilize them, which is also completed quickly.

The most important is the operation called "genetic surgery", because H-genetic disease is a genetic defect inherited disease, and healthy gene fragments must be introduced into the fertilized egg at the beginning of the period in order to obtain a healthy child.

However, the genetic material of human beings is too small to be done by hand, and the introduction of healthy genes can only be achieved with the help of various cleavage enzymes and polymerases.

However, this microscopic "surgery" is extremely easy to "off-target", either the introduction will be unsuccessful, or the original normal genes in the fertilized egg will be cut, so the risk of this step is extremely high.

Whether the introduction is unsuccessful or the original normal genes are affected, the result is that a healthy fertilized egg cannot be obtained, and a normal child cannot be born.

A week later, the genetic surgery was finally completed, and everyone nervously awaited the results.
