Chapter 24: Counterattack
For Zhou Ran's analysis, Zhang Tianlin fully agrees.
If the paper on "genetic modification" were published now, it would certainly become the biggest news. Of course, there will be more people who will stand up against it. However, this is not important to Zhang Tianlin.
Imagine further, not only the theoretical part will be published, but also the part of the live experiment, and they will all shut up!
Because he knows that everyone will face birth, old age, sickness and death, but the success of "genetic modification" will save them some of this trouble.
Zhang Tianlin believes that between life and death, most people will choose to live, let alone live for a long time!
In the face of life, all opposition will cease in silence.
It's just that he's still thinking about a question: is now the best time?
"Significant progress has been made in 'genetic modification,'" Zhang Tianlin finally said, "and now the theoretical phase has been completed, and there are reliable data on live experiments – which have been validated in mice." ”
Both of them were shocked when they heard him say this.
Because this means that the next step can be to do experiments on humans, and if successful, the entire history of human development will be rewritten!
Zhou Ran was particularly shocked.
Because according to the fact that Zhang Tianlin concealed this matter, he had already thought of a terrible result. Since he chose to hide it at the beginning, he must have had his plan, and now he chooses not to hide it anymore.
The shift was so sudden that one had to be suspicious.
"Is there really no conspiracy?" Zhou Ran began to doubt his judgment.
"Only Xu Shan and I know about this matter," Zhang Tianlin added, "The reason why I didn't tell you in the first place was also for security reasons." After all, this move is so important that if we leak it in the slightest, we will lose the whole game. But," he said with some doubts, "I am hesitant to reveal to the media how far ......
"It's really hard to decide." Zhou Ran frowned, "Moreover, we also have to consider the reaction of the coalition government, if they support it, what is it easy to say." ”
Adolf also realized the seriousness of the problem, and said in a low voice: "Yes, no matter how the people react, as long as the coalition government supports it, everything will be solved." ”
"First of all, we have to deal with the media." Zhang Tianlin said.
"Zhang Mingyuan." Zhou Ran said the key to the problem, "If you can get the support of this person, it will be much smoother." ”
"But, as far as I know, this man is very close to Williams." Adolf said worriedly.
After some thought, he continued: "As long as he is a human being, he will have shortcomings, and if he has shortcomings, it will be easy......"
"Hehe, this is easy to do." Zhang Tianlin has already thought of a way.
Adolf was right, but all human beings have flaws.
Sometimes, shortcomings are the key to defeating a person. Similarly, the same goes for hobbies, when a person is obsessed with their own preferences, they are showing their weaknesses to others.
Very few people know that Zhang Mingyuan is keen on collecting antiques, which can be said to be to the point of indulging, and his favorite is the ancient Chinese Yuan Qinghua.
It is said that many people bribed Zhang Mingyuan for promotion in his position, and most of the bribes were antiques. Moreover, their purpose was mostly achieved......
"Find a way to get some antiques, ancient paintings, porcelain, utensils, preferably blue and white porcelain from the Yuan and Ming dynasties." Zhang Tianlin said to the two.
"Zhang Mingyuan likes antiques?" Adolf asked.
"Yes, and to the point of obsession." Zhang Tianlin said with a smile, "You are responsible for getting these things, and I will do the rest of the work." ”
"What about publishing a paper ......" Zhou Ran asked in a low voice, he attached more importance to this.
"Even if we get Zhang Mingyuan's support, it will only be easier in the media, and in the end it will depend on the reaction of the people. Therefore, it is important to be safe, and not to put all the eggs in one basket. Zhang Tianlin analyzed, "I think that the theoretical part will be published first, and then we will see the reactions of people from all walks of life, and then make plans." ”
"What do you think?"
The two agreed, and after discussing other issues, they went their separate ways.
Zhang Tianlin prepared a little, and then went downstairs to explain to the media. Of course, with his experience and experience, it was easy to dismiss those reporters.
On the way back to the Ecological Research Institute, Zhou Ran has been thinking about a question.
During the whole discussion, he accidentally discovered a detail, that is, Zhang Tianlin did not reach out to help his gold-wire glasses.
That's a habit he's maintained for decades, and it's not something that can be easily broken.
Moreover, he also found that Zhang Tianlin's complexion was obviously much better than before, not at all like the state that a person with a serious eye disease should be!
Adolf took a lot of effort to finally get a pair of blue and white porcelain at the end of the Ming Dynasty, which was worth a lot of money.
However, money is nothing in their eyes.
With this pair of blue and white porcelain, Zhang Mingyuan was successfully taken. However, he also slyly told Zhang Tianlin that he could guarantee that the article would be published in the "Global Core" smoothly, and he could not guarantee what the results would be.
Zhang Tianlin naturally understands what it means, there is no need to worry about these things with him, he needs to publish the article, and the next thing cannot be predicted, so he can only go with the flow.
Soon, a paper on "genetic modification" on the "Global Core" caused a sensation in the whole world, and it was boiling for a while.
People from all walks of life quickly formed two opposing sides: for and against.
Opponents have an overwhelming upper hand.
Twenty percent of the people hold 80 percent of the wealth, the truth is in the hands of a few, and the right to speak is also in their hands. No matter how society develops, social classes will never change.
Will this time be an exception?
Will humanity let these 80 percent win once?
Morality aside, most people will oppose it, because they know that the creation of this new thing is not destined to serve them.
Rights, status, money, but anyone who occupies one will support it, because it is their "passport" to this service. In contrast, those who do not have a "pass" can only be ruthlessly abandoned, become a stepping stone to history, and even become a victim of those who have a "pass".
The same social resources should be excluded, and it is better to raise their arms against it than to endure humiliation and steal their lives.
The coalition government attached great importance to this matter and convened many seminars with the main leaders of the Institute of Biological Sciences, which were chaired by Zhang Mingyuan, the secretariat of the coalition government.
Of course, there are also different voices within the Institute of Biology, some of them criticize from the level of morality, and some of them discuss the hidden dangers of "genetic modification".
After more than a month of debate and debate, the coalition government finally passed a resolution to allow "genetic modification" to carry out the next step of the experiment, but required that each step be reported directly to the coalition government.
The chairman of the coalition government has made a final decision, and the "cautious faction" has achieved a key victory!
