After a short period of thought, Xu Shan said uncertainly: "Could it be a genetic mutation?" ”

Zhang Tianlin shook his head: "Think about the topic of three years ago. ”

"You're talking about ......"

Xu Shan suddenly realized, and then showed a ashamed expression.

"That's right, it's 'hidden gene emergence'."

Xu Shan remembered that the scenes of the subject at that time were unfolding in front of him.

It was a small experiment, so to speak, the prototype of "gene fusion", and the experiment was very successful. But only three months later, the mice involved in the experiment suddenly died of tyranny, and they smashed their heads off.

"However, the probability of a 'hidden gene emergence' is very small, and we have confirmed it."

"Yes, the probability of it appearing is extremely small." Zhang Tianlin suddenly became serious, "But you must know that our experimental subject is a living person, and all risks must be removed." ”

"You're right!" Xu Shan looked at his mentor with reverence again, "We have to be responsible for the experimental subjects, which is also the scientific research attitude of pursuing the authenticity of the experiment." ”

"Not bad."

Zhang Tianlin once again easily persuaded Xu Shan.

He knew that from a scientific point of view, the experiment could be declared a success. But from the perspective of his selfish desires, he needs time to make a more perfect preparation than "biological agent B", that is, to use Ye Dongming's genes......

After Zhou Ran finished his work in the Ecological Institute, he hurriedly came to Zhang Tianlin's office. The two chatted for a long time, replacing the information in the past few months, and sharing each other's joys and worries.

Share your sorrows with others, and your sorrows will be halved. Share the joy with others and the joy will be doubled. Is this really the case?

Of course not!

It depends on who the person you are sharing it with, whether he is ill-intentioned or sincere.

When Zhou Ran talked about the accident, Zhang Tianlin scolded disdainfully: "I didn't expect Zheng Dashen to be so vicious, worthy of being Williams' most loyal dog!" ”

"I thought he might be a ghost before I left, but I didn't expect him to kill me, which was much more than I had a hunch."

"Luckily you saved your life, and this account will be settled sooner or later!"

Zhou Ran was noncommittal, and then told the story of the discovery of the artificial ice tunnel. Zhang Tianlin was very surprised when he heard it, who would dig a passage under an iceberg in Antarctica? Is it the people from the observatory or the ......

One word broke into his head - aliens.

"This matter is indeed very strange," Zhang Tianlin pondered, "Who else knows about this passage?" ”

"Except for Captain Yu of the rescue team." Zhou Ran said.

"Yu Lie?"

"Yes." Zhou Ran said while recalling, "A week before the end of the scientific expedition, I looked for him for the last time and wanted the rescue team to follow me to the passage to investigate again, but the basis was refused. ”

"What reason?"

"Hehe, it's the same excuse." Zhou Ran smiled helplessly, "You can't risk the lives of the team members." ”

"This man is cautious, and that's his style to do that."

"You know him?"

"Understand a little, but Shen Tonghui recognizes him very much."

"But," Zhou Ran sighed, "even if he agrees, he won't be able to survey that passage anymore." ”

"What's going on?"

"The iceberg collapsed, burying the passage just below......"

"Another coincidence?" Zhang Tianlin shook his head.

"I don't believe it either, I suspect that Yu Lie lied to me, or that he caused the collapse." Zhou Ran said suspiciously.

"It shouldn't be," Zhang Tianlin said, "Yu Lie is still very reliable, you can learn about Shen Tonghui when you have the opportunity." ”

After speaking, he gave Zhou Ran a meaningful look.

Zhou Ran seemed to understand something, and hurriedly said: "It's not necessary, I probably won't have a chance to go to Antarctica again in the future." ”

The reason why I said this was because Zhou Ran saw a sense of confidence in Zhang Tianlin's eyes just now, which showed that Zhang Tianlin's understanding of Lie was by no means just "a little".

In addition, since Shen Tonghui is mentioned, does that mean that his relationship with Yu Lie is also extraordinary?

"I heard that Zeng Shuo replaced Adolf as the head of the exploration project?" In order to avoid embarrassment, Zhou Ran diverted the topic.

"Yes, just a week after you left for Antarctica, I approached Williams with this suggestion."

"He agreed?"

"You said Zeng Shuo?"

"Williams."

"Hehe, he naturally agreed." Zhang Tianlin said with a smile, "Or he had to agree, and he had to thank me." ”

Zhou Ran thought for a while, and said slowly: "So that distracts the council's attention from him, and he can come out of the quagmire?" ”

"That's half right." Zhang Tianlin nodded approvingly, "I will only let him withdraw temporarily, and I will not let him come out of the quagmire, my purpose is Zeng Shuo." ”

Indeed, this is a move made by Zhang Tianlin after weighing it.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the "cautious faction" has gained the upper hand and has stubbornly suppressed the "expansionist faction." But because of Adolf's imprisonment, all Zhang Tianlin's plans were disrupted.

However, if Seon loses his horse, how can he know if it is a blessing?

That's when he came up with a brilliant plan, which was to join forces with Williams. First, it can make the "expansionists" relax their vigilance, after all, there are losses on both sides; The second is to find a way to win Zeng Shuo over through cooperation.

"Zeng Shuo?" Zhou Ran said in surprise, "But he is Williams's person, I'm afraid it's not so easy." ”

"I don't think so." Zhang Tianlin said, "After this period of observation and contact, I see that this person has great ambitions and will never be willing to be a professor in the Military Academy." ”

"Of course," he added, "this man is not going to be willing to be a professor at the Academy of Astronautics." ”

"Then you still ......"

"I have a hunch that he will make outstanding contributions to the development of aerospace." Zhang Tianlin's eyes flashed with confidence, "I want to win him over and try my best to cultivate him." ”

"But, aren't you afraid that he will become the second Ye Guangli?"

"No, this person is completely different from Ye Guangli, he has a tenacious character, I can feel it."

Zhou Ran didn't know Zeng Shuo, but being able to replace Ye Guangli as the person in charge of the "Speed of Light" shows that this person's ability is not ordinary. As for whether he can be used by Zhang Tianlin and become his successor, it is unknown.

Sometimes, he sympathized with Zhang Tianlin and painstakingly cultivated successors, but one by one he ran counter to him......

However, Zhou Ran thinks that there is one thing that Zhang Tianlin said is very right, now the situation of the "cautious faction" is very good, and it is a good opportunity to completely defeat the "expansionist faction", doesn't Zhang Tianlin want to take advantage of this opportunity?

After thinking about it again, Zhou Ran raised his doubts.

"You're right, it's a good opportunity, but it's not the best opportunity." Zhang Tianlin said with a smile.

Zhou Ran searched his mind vigorously, searching for a point of view that could support his thoughts, the two major killer moves of the "cautious faction" were "dome" and "genetic modification", now the "dome" is playing its role normally, and the rest is "genetic modification".

That's right, Ye Dongming!
