Chapter 11 The Importance of Confidentiality

"But, mentor, the experiment is clearly ......"

Xu Shan didn't understand and wanted to ask clearly, but when he saw Zhang Tianlin's dark face, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of strangeness.

Moreover, in this gloomy expression, there seemed to be other expressions hidden, which he had never seen before.

However, this look was only fleeting, and Zhang Tianlin did not give him enough time to think.

After a chuckle, Zhang Tianlin changed back to a kind look, and said with a smile: "Xu Shan, you must know that genetic research is a very precise research, and we must confirm it before it can be made public. Now, we've only completed an experiment, and we're not sure about its authenticity and accuracy. ”

"Do you understand?"

"I understand." Xu Shan nodded indifferently.

"The outside world is very sensitive to 'genetic modification' right now, so we have to keep a low profile. Moreover, it is not yet known what the 'expansionists' will do to fight back. Zhang Tianlin said carefully.

"Mentor," Xu Shan whispered, "you mean the wall has ears?" ”

"Maybe......"

Xu Shan seemed to understand, but he didn't seem to understand, but he didn't dare to ask more.

Perhaps, concentrating on research and remaining silent is the best choice.

"You sort out the data and send it to my mailbox, and we'll continue tomorrow. If our reasoning is correct, then this is a milestone in genetics research! ”

"Remember, don't tell anyone." Zhang Tianlin emphasized again.

"I remember."

"Remember, it's very important to keep this a secret."

After Zhang Tianlin's repeated instructions, he hurriedly returned to the space institute.

By this time, it was already dark, and he looked at his watch, and it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

Finally, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart anymore and couldn't help laughing. After so many years of hard work, he finally succeeded!

In 'genetic modification', what humans use the most is the epistasis and pleiotropy of genes. However, for a variety of reasons, human research in these two areas has been stagnant for many years.

Therefore, Zhang Tianlin will find another way to study "gene fusion" and "gene phagocytosis".

However, when it comes to genetic research, there is never an easy task, and this direction is no exception.

Now that a breakthrough has been made in this direction, he already anticipates what kind of social repercussions will be. Even, human civilization will move to a new level as a result......

Using the principle of gene phagocytosis, the genes of lesions in the body can be engulfed away to stop the lesions. Gene fusion is used to fuse the genes that are about to be diseased together to turn them into healthy genes.

More importantly, through this technology, excellent genes can be screened out, and lower genes can be eliminated, so that human genes can become more and more excellent.

Even, through genetic intervention, human beings can have a stronger body, higher stamina, stronger ability to adapt to the environment, etc., it is simply too extensive!

Originally, his idea of "genetic modification" at today's debate was only a tentative first step, and the subsequent process will proceed slowly. But now it seems that it is completely unnecessary, and the established plan needs to be changed.

Thinking of this, he picked up his mobile phone, just dialed Zhou Ran's phone, thought of something again, and immediately hung up again.

A bigger plan popped into his mind, so he chose to keep it secret for the time being.

"Jingle bells."

He looked at his phone, it was Zhou Ran calling.

Zhang Tianlin did not answer immediately, but waited until the tenth second.

"Hey, what, I didn't call you."

“……”

"Oh, maybe I accidentally bumped into it, it's okay."

……

For the next week, Zhang Tianlin and Xu Shan were buried in the laboratory almost every day, repeatedly doing experiments on gene fusion and gene phagocytosis.

With their precise and meticulous adjustments, the success rate of the experiment increased by another 1%, which is a remarkable improvement.

As a middle-aged Xu Shan, when his energy and endurance were the strongest, he felt a little unbearable under this high-intensity pressure. Unexpectedly, Zhang Tianlin, who is nearly sixty years old, also persevered, which is incredible.

What Xu Shan didn't expect was that Zhang Tianlin had been suffering from eye disease for the past few days......

After a series of experiments and analysis, the two came to a final conclusion.

Of course, absolutely satisfying conclusions.

Zhang Tianlin told Xu Shan to sort out the experimental data and publish it in the form of a paper immediately.

"The topic of the paper is tentatively 'genetic modification to make everything possible', and when it is completed, it will be published in the most authoritative journal of the coalition government!" Zhang Tianlin said excitedly.

"'Global Core'?" Xu Shan asked excitedly.

"Apart from the 'Global Core', what other platform and institution is more authoritative than it." Zhang Tianlin said, "Also, the paper is co-signed by you and me. ”

After speaking, he looked at him with a smile.

Xu Shan was stunned!

"Mentor, you—you're not kidding!" Xu Shan suddenly became incoherent, "I, I ......"

"You are leading the experimental process, and you are also analyzing and sorting out the experimental data, I see all of this, and your credit is not small!"

"Mentor, I—I really want to thank you." Xu Shan was so excited that he almost shed tears, "This is really an unsurpassed honor......"

Xu Shan knew that once the paper was published, his reputation and status would change dramatically. Perhaps, in a few years, the seat of the dean of the Institute of Biology may be his!

The old dean is about to retire, and if there is Zhang Tianlin's recommendation, it is definitely a perfect opportunity.

"This paper is so important to me!"

At this moment, Xu Shan only had this one thought in his mind.

"Xu Shan, I'm still the same sentence," Zhang Tianlin suddenly became serious, and it was the same expression that appeared a week ago.

"Before the paper is published, you must keep it absolutely secret, this matter can only be known to you and me, and must not be known to a third person!"

"Tutor, don't worry, everything is up to you!" Xu Shan replied without thinking.

"Okay, you can go back to the office and start preparing your paper."

"Okay, aren't you going back?" Xu Shan glanced at his mentor.

"Oh, I'd like to do another set of experiments, after all, it's an extremely important thing."

Xu Shan wanted to share the burden for his mentor again, but Zhang Tianlin refused, so he had to leave in a hurry with the experimental data and materials.

At this time, Xu Shan's mind was full of papers, and he had no time to think about Zhang Tianlin's words and deeds.

After Zhang Tianlin waited for him to leave, he immediately locked the door of the laboratory and skillfully prepared two sets of experimental cabins.

After a period of operation, anxiously waiting, a colorless and transparent tube appeared in front of him......

Zhang Tianlin looked at these liquids and suddenly hesitated.

They may be new hopes, but they can also be fatal blows, with unpredictable results.

He was thinking, slowly becoming impatient, and the different voices in his heart experienced a great struggle. Finally, after a short and long struggle, he slowly calmed down, and it was clear that he had made up his mind.

So, he slowly removed his glasses, slowly approached a miniature needle to the corner of his right eye, and slowly pierced it.
