Chapter 38: Ready
Lin Shengwei naturally understood that Zhang Tianlin was not only here to drink tea, but with his own understanding of him, since he chose to interview, it must be a very important thing.
In today's society, what attracts people's attention the most is the struggle between the "cautious faction" and the "expansionist faction". At this time, the "genetic modification" project happened to be progressing, and then Zhang Tianlin came, so it has to be reminiscent of the purpose of his trip.
"Dean Lin, you're right, I'm here to report to you." Zhang Tianlin said with a smile.
"It's a 'genetic modification' thing, right?" Lin Shengwei asked in a low voice, he had already guessed eight or nine.
Zhang Tianlin nodded, put down the cup in his hand, and said solemnly: "The Secretariat of the Coalition Government has given a reply......
As he spoke, he deliberately paused to see how the other party reacted.
Although Lin Shengwei does not pay much attention to political affairs, he is still more concerned about the topic of "genetic modification", after all, it happened in the biological research institute he is responsible for. In the entire coalition government system, it is the only one with this level of scientific research.
Moreover, the impact of this scientific research is too significant. Because of this, he can't help but not pay attention to this matter.
"Oh, don't sell it to you, you old boy, hurry up." Lin Shengwei, who has always been calm, also couldn't sit still.
"The coalition government has agreed to proceed with the next step of the experimental program." After Zhang Tianlin finished speaking, he seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden, and a pleased smile appeared on his face.
This news was too shocking for Lin Shengwei, although he had been mentally prepared before, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.
At this moment, Lin Shengwei's mood is extremely complicated.
At the beginning, his opinion on "genetic modification" was ambiguous. Objectively speaking, this is a double-edged sword, the benefits are significant, and the negative effects are also widespread.
From the perspective of a biological researcher, he is in favor of applying the good aspects of "genetic modification" to humans. This is an unprecedented study, and no one can predict what will happen to those who come after it.
However, from his personal point of view, he did not approve of it. Because there is an unbridgeable gap in front of us, that is the bottom line of morality.
In addition to this, this research, when applied to humans, is destined to be unfair to many people.
Countries that claim equality and freedom often shout the slogan "All men are created equal, there is no distinction between high and low", but is this really the case in reality?
Admittedly, probably in a way, yes.
However, for people of different classes, perhaps from the moment they are born, they are destined to have different fates.
Since fate is already predestined, how can we talk about being born equal?
Is it true that different people are engaged in different professions, different classes perform different missions, and seem to enjoy the same rights and obligations?
Is there really no distinction between coal diggers and coffee-drinking elites?
In such a complicated mood, Lin Shengwei could not make the wisest judgment, and there was only one way to solve it, that is, to let things develop according to the original direction.
However, he knew very well in his heart that this proposition was a false proposition.
The starting point of fate cannot be changed, and its trajectory may be a curve, a straight line, or a broken line. However, regardless of the process, the end of destiny has been determined, and it is there.
What is the way things are going?
I'm afraid no one can say it clearly, and no one can convince everyone.
So, in the end, he had to end his inner struggle with a middle-of-the-road way of thinking: let it be.
"It's a very significant thing." Lin Shengwei said lightly.
Zhang Tianlin was a little surprised by his reaction, perhaps he guessed the old friend's concern.
"Are you worried about whether the experiment will go smoothly?" Zhang Tianlin asked tentatively.
Lin Shengwei nodded and said slowly: "It's normal to be worried. I, the dean, have been out of research for many years, but I still have some judgment on what this research can bring. But I believe that if you preside over it, we are all full of confidence. ”
This sentence not only shows Lin Shengwei's worries, but also pins on Zhang Tianlin's expectations.
It's not so much an expectation as a final struggle......
"Lao Lin, don't worry, I won't carry out the next experiment without 100% certainty." Zhang Tianlin said firmly, "And in order to ensure the success of the experiment, the coalition government requires a voluntary test to be conducted first." ”
Lin Shengwei is well aware that this kind of insurance measure can not only achieve the goal, but also control the situation, and he has always admired this model.
So, he asked with concern, "Are there any suitable volunteers?" ”
"Yes," Zhang Tianlin hesitated, "but ......"
"What's wrong?" Lin Shengwei saw the obvious embarrassment on his face.
"Ahem, to be honest, I thought this was a good candidate before, but now I regret it a little......"
Lin Shengwei raised his eyebrows and asked, "The things that can make you regret are not ordinary, who is he?" ”
"A young man with a disability, named Ye Dongming." Zhang Tianlin said.
"Being disabled, still young, it's an opportunity for him, it should be a good thing." Lin Shengwei said, "Why do you regret it again? ”
"He is Ye Guangli's son......"
Hearing the words "Ye Guangli", Lin Shengwei was really a little surprised, and then he also understood why Zhang Tianlin said this. However, in his opinion, Ye Dongming is indeed more suitable as a volunteer.
People who are disabled, who have lost a loved one, whose life is dark and who cannot see the slightest light, are in dire need of a light to guide them.
What's even more ingenious is that Ye Dongming seems to have been born for this opportunity.
Admittedly, this is a rare opportunity. However, Lin Shengwei has another idea in his heart, but he can't express it.
On the other hand, giving Ye Dongming such a chance may be tantamount to murder. Beneath all the seemingly coincidences, there are hidden conspiracies that the authorities cannot detect.
Sometimes, even onlookers can't see through it.
"I can understand your current mood, you don't want to live up to this young man, and you don't want to live up to the dead Ye Guangli." Lin Shengwei said.
Zhang Tianlin nodded.
"I think you can completely dispel this concern, because there is a risk in unknown experiments, and that's inevitable, not only for volunteers, but also for implementers. This opportunity is too important for Ye Dongming, if you don't want to leave regrets, you can only do your best to do a good job in the experiment. ”
Immediately, he added: "I have learned about Ye Guangli's family situation, is his wife disagreeing?" ”
You're right, Zhang Mei firmly disagreed at first. But ......" Zhang Tianlin did not continue.
"But she finally agreed!"
"Yes."
"Alas, no matter what decision Zhang Mei makes, we can all understand that whether it is respect for Ye Dongming's choice or being responsible for him, she is always a mother."
……
Zhang Tianlin's heart knot was opened, and with Lin Shengwei's support, he no longer had any worries.
A great and significant experiment is about to take place......
