Chapter 6 Rational Explanation
The meeting lasted for nearly an hour before it ended, and the participants left the venue one after another. Obviously, this debate will bring them not only shock, but also endless worries.
Of course, the most excited are the media, who have not captured such explosive news for a long time!
Zhang Tianlin returned to the office, stretched his body, and lay on his back in the chair relaxedly, recalling the whole process of today's meeting.
After a while, he looked up at the piece of Rolex that had been with him for almost ten yearsβit was half past eleven, and it was time for lunch.
Zhang Tianlin was in a happy mood at this time, and was just about to get up, when he suddenly felt that his right eye was very dry, and it seemed to be mixed with a slight tingling pain. So he hurriedly took out the eye drops from the drawer and put two drops into his right eye, and by the way, he also dropped them on his left eye.
The dryness did not relieve, but, the stinging pain was lost.
Lately, he's felt that his eye disease has been a little more severe, he hasn't felt a stinging sensation before, and besides, the damn doctor has prescribed useless medicine.
He couldn't help but sigh and decided to go to the central hospital in the afternoon, only to trouble his old friend Yu Dong again.
Yu Dong is a professor of ophthalmology at the Central Hospital, and he is usually busy. In addition to working at the hospital, I also give lectures and lectures at various universities.
Zhang Tianlin generally doesn't bother old friends, except in situations like today's.
After three "beeps", the phone was connected.
"Old Yu? Yes, it's me, how are you busy today? β
"It's okay, why did you remember to call me?"
β¦β¦
After a phone call, the two made an appointment to meet at 4 p.m. at the office of Yu Dong of the Central Hospital.
After lunch, Zhang Tianlin just returned to the office and was about to squint for a while.
At this time, the secretary Xiao Wang knocked on the door and came in, and said anxiously: "Dean, Professor Zhou Ran and Professor Adolf have to see you, I know that you want to rest for a while at this time, but they are very insistent. You see......"
Zhang Tianlin was not surprised at all, he had expected them to come.
"I won't take a lunch break today, I will always come when I should come." He smiled and said, "Let them in." β
As soon as Xiao Wang opened the door, Zhou Ran and Adolf walked in in a hurry, and Adolf accidentally bumped into Xiao Wang's shoulder.
"I'm sorry." Adolf said apologetically.
Xiao Wang nodded, poured two cups of tea and walked out of the office.
"Dean, do you know how much your remarks at the meeting today have caused a lot of repercussions?" Adolf said eagerly before he could sit down.
"yes, Dean, that's not your usual style." Zhou Ran also said suspiciously.
Zhang Tianlin fully understands the feelings of these two old friends in front of him.
Genetic modification has always been a forbidden place in the field of biology, and no one has dared to openly propose it at such a high-level conference.
At the meeting that just ended in the morning, the media news was already flying all over the sky, and there were mixed reviews from all walks of life.
Of course, there are many opponents, and this situation is also expected by him.
Zhang Tianlin also knows that today is not the best time, but he has also thought it through.
Success is never achieved when the time is ripe, but requires improvisation and situationality.
Of course, sometimes luck is needed.
Improvisation and judgment are controllable, but luck is elusive.
However, in a sense, luck is also a factor in success, and of course it also has the meaning of gambling.
Sometimes it is strange that human success comes from some kind of thought or thought, or thought, in an instant. Capture this idea inadvertently, and constantly refine and sublimate until it succeeds.
This kind of idea can also be called inspiration.
However, inspiration is not enough on the road to success, it is necessary to set goals, build confidence, and also need extraordinary courage and boldness.
In this way, inspiration will be used as the motivation for conscious pursuit, and stride towards success.
"There are a lot of things that we can't control, and we need to judge the situation." Zhang Tianlin said unhurriedly and motioned for the two of them to sit down.
"As it is today, I know that the time is not ripe enough, but 'the arrow is ready to be sent'."
"While the debate will move in their favor, it seems to be manageable." Zhou Ran said.
"Yes, it's still going according to our established situation." Adolf added.
"However, the opportunity was in a split second, and if you seize it, you will succeed in one fell swoop. If you miss it, you may have to wait ten or twenty years, or even longer. Zhang Tianlin put on his glasses and pointed to the newspaper on the table, "Don't be fooled by this news, it may be beneficial to us." β
The two of them are still in doubt, but they can't overcome the hurdle in their hearts after all.
"We've talked about genetic modification many times before, and you know my insistence. Because I have always believed that the process of human evolution is the process of genetic self-improvement, which will repair damaged genes or get rid of those genes that hinder one's evolution. However, the process is slow and we don't have any more time to wait. β
"But human evolution must follow the laws of nature, and we can't break this rule, otherwise no one can predict what the consequences will be." Zhou Ran argued.
"You're right. For such a work, no one can guarantee whether it will end perfectly or tragically. β
Zhang Tianlin is still very calm.
"We know that every research is confirmed from the stage of theory to experiment, and finally to be applied. Genetic modification is no exception. In theory, it's already flawless, and now it's time to put it into practice. β
"However, putting it into practice has the potential to upset the existing balance. We are not just facing 'expansionists', but probably coalition governments, including more than half of the people......"
Adolf gasped, indicating that he was vehemently opposed to doing so.
"Both of you are old friends of mine and my right-hand man, and I have nothing to hide from you."
Zhang Tianlin stood up and paced around the office.
"I'm not worried about opposition from the outside world, these can be solved by means. The crux of the matter lies within us, the two of you to be exact. β
The two seemed to understand something, but they didn't seem to understand anything, waiting for him to continue.
"I want to know what you really think, for or against. Because I can't accomplish such an epoch-making event alone! β
Zhang Tianlin said from the bottom of his heart.
The two of them looked at each other, and their chests were clear.
Zhou Ran immediately said: "Please rest assured, we are your followers from beginning to end. Although there are differences on this point, it does not change our position. β
Adolf also immediately said: "What Professor Zhou said is that there is no doubt about this, you are too worried. β
When Zhang Tianlin heard such a reply, he was very relieved, and the string he was most worried about could finally be relaxed.
But what he didn't know was that just because of this relaxation, he was in the deadliest trouble!
"Okay," Zhang Tianlin said with a smile, "Actually, I fully understand your concerns, so I expected you to come over a long time ago." β
He walked over and sat down, and continued: "My move today can be said to be just a small foreshadowing, and it will have the effect of this 'flat ground thunder'!" β
[The foreshadowing is a bit long, only those who have patience can achieve great things, hehe~]
