"You've decided?" Yu Dong asked softly.

He knew this old friend very well, and once he had decided, no one could shake it.

"Yes!" Zhang Tianlin said firmly, "My life should have a gorgeous turn, and there should also be a perfect ending, that is, to complete these two missions." ”

Yu Dong decided to respect Zhang Tianlin's choice, and after consulting with three ophthalmology experts, he prescribed Zhang Tianlin some drugs to delay his symptoms. And instructed him to take medication on time and contact him in time if he has any questions.

Back at the Aerospace Institute, Zhang Tianlin locked himself in the office for a whole night, reviewing his life.

At his age, and with all these achievements he has achieved, it stands to reason that there are no regrets. But now, he is not reconciled.

Unwilling to be defeated by illness, unwilling to lose to the "expansionists", and unwilling to see Williams's smug face.

If he falls, the "cautious faction" will undoubtedly be defeated.

It was strange that he, who only had a few months to live, still had some thoughts about these things that would not concern him.

Is it just because of unwillingness?

No!

He has made one of the most important decisions of his life. And he was convinced that this decision would allow him to have a new life.

……

Zhou Ran returned to the office, turned on the computer, and entered a string of English letters, which were the letters on the outside of the small medicine bottle used by Zhang Tianlin. After clicking on the query, the search results turned out to be zero, and there was no introduction to this drug.

He thought about it, and with the memory of it, he typed in the serial number on the medicine bottle again, and several web pages popped up. But none of them are official websites, similar to the promotion of advertisements.

"The painkillers banned by the Joint Government Health Commission are very effective, but the side effects are extremely great, and the harm outweighs the benefits......

Someone's comment at the bottom of the page.

Through various connections in the hospital, Zhou Ran finally got a little news from a friend.

The drug has long been banned and has been removed from the depots of major hospitals, and is only available in small clinics or on the black market. Moreover, the side effects of this drug are extremely extreme, and it can cause irreparable damage to the nervous system.

To put it bluntly, there will be problems with the spirit after a long time.

Zhou Ran was shocked, it was impossible for Zhang Tianlin not to know the side effects of this drug, but he was still using it, what did it mean?

Moreover, Zhang Tianlin's concealment of the results of "gene phagocytosis" and "gene fusion" is related to his eye disease?

He couldn't figure it out for a while, it seemed that if he wanted to know the secret, he had to start with Xu Shan.

……

For the next few days, Zhang Tianlin buried his head in the laboratory, not seeing anyone and not allowing anyone to disturb him.

At the same time, Xu Shan's thesis materials have been basically sorted out, both in theory and experimental data, which can be called perfect.

A wordless euphoria welled up in his heart, and he imagined what it would be like after the paper was published: the spotlight shining on him, the various press conferences, and then the world famous......

At this moment, a low cry of pain came from the laboratory, as if it was the kind of voice that had endured great pain and could not hold back.

Xu Shan first thought, is there an accident on the part of the mentor?

So, he hurriedly ran to the door of the laboratory, knocked on the door and shouted, "Mentor, what's wrong with you!" Mentor! ”

No one responded.

Xu Shan panicked and kept banging on the door.

At this time, Zhang Tianlin's voice came: "I, I'm fine, don't knock!" ”

His voice was flickering and weak, as if he had gritted his teeth and said this, but his tone was full of unquestionable commands.

Xu Shan didn't know what was going on inside, but he still held back his worry and curiosity.

"Mentor, there was no accident, right?"

After about ten minutes, he asked softly.

"It's fine."

With an answer, the door of the laboratory was opened, and Zhang Tianlin appeared in front of him with a radiant face.

Because he was in a hurry, Xu Shan's head was about to stick to the door, and when he suddenly saw Zhang Tianlin, he was startled and couldn't help but take two steps back.

"Mentor, are you—are you alright?" Xu Shan asked in shock.

"Hehe," Zhang Tianlin helped his glasses down and looked down at him, "It's okay, I walked in the air just now, and I accidentally bumped into the table, it hurts." But it's much better. ”

Xu Shan looked at him suspiciously, but did not speak.

Looking at Xu Shan's eyes, Zhang Tianlin said again: "At the critical moment of the experiment just now, I didn't care to explain it to you. ”

"So, what about the result?"

Zhang Tianlin smiled knowingly, looked around, and whispered: "Very successful!" ”

Xu Shan couldn't help the ecstasy in his heart, and said happily: "Mentor, you have succeeded!" You're amazing! ”

He had forgotten about the little episode and was completely immersed in the joy of success.

"In that case, is the paper ready for publication?" Xu Shan asked excitedly.

Zhang Tianlin put away his knowing smile and turned it into an elusive smile, he said: "There is no hurry, we have to ensure that this technology is published on the basis of being able to be implemented, otherwise the risk will be very high." ”

This sentence was like a basin of cold water poured on Xu Shan's body, and he looked at his mentor in confusion and loss.

"We have to get the coalition government's consent first, otherwise even if we publish this paper, it won't have the impact it deserves." "Of course, it will definitely cause a sensation in the scientific community, but it will also inevitably be attacked by some people." Therefore, without 100 percent certainty, even 99.9 percent, this paper cannot be easily published. ”

Zhang Tianlin looked at him solemnly: "Even, only you and I know its existence." ”

As a student of Zhang Tianlin, Xu Shan has been deeply influenced by his thoughts, and Xu Shan can fully understand these words.

Although he didn't face the Williams gang, he hated them from the bottom of his heart.

However, even though he could understand his mentor's concerns, the look of loss on his face was palpable.

"I know," Zhang continued, "that you are responsible for the success of this research, and you really want it to play its due role, don't you?" ”

"Yes." Xu Shan blurted out.

He suddenly thought of something again, and hurriedly said: "No, no, no, mentor, I am not saying that I have a great contribution, but I think that this research result is absolutely of great significance to mankind, and I should immediately move on to the next step, not ......"

"Don't worry," Zhang Tianlin patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "I understand your feelings, why shouldn't I?" Rest assured, it won't be long before your name appears in the Global Core publications. ”

Desire can often overcome reason, and this is the state of Xu Shan now.

Originally, the world-class literature and journal "Global Core" was an extremely distant existence for him, and he never dared to think of it before.

But now, there is such an opportunity for him to touch, walk in, and change his life path with it.

Think about it, who can not be impressed? And who can let such an opportunity slip away from them so easily?

At least Xu Shan won't, driven by this desire, he may have been lost.

No matter what Zhang Tianlin says, he will obey his arrangement, and no matter what Zhang Tianlin does, he will also keep silent.

Now, he has completely "forgotten" everything that happened in the laboratory just now.
