Zhang Tianlin patted Ye Dongming's shoulder and said with a smile: "I just did what I thought was right, but in fact, I wasn't sure at the time." ”

"In the future, I want to get back my lost life, whether it is time or spirit, I want to make them worthy of their value." Ye Dongming said excitedly, "I have also been thinking about this during this time, and I think I am more interested in genes......

"Oh, that's a surprise to me." Zhang Tianlin said in surprise.

"Maybe it's instinct, or maybe it's some kind of drive, I can't tell. So, I want to ask you for one thing. ”

Zhang Tianlin understood as soon as he heard it, and said, "Do you want to follow me to learn genetics?" ”

Ye Dongming nodded.

"I'm surprised by your idea, but I'm also very happy. However, genetics is not that simple, especially for people like you who don't have any foundation, it will be very difficult to learn. ”

"No matter how hard it is, I will persevere, please be sure to say yes."

Zhang Tianlin smiled, his expression was very complicated, and he couldn't see what it meant.

"In this case, you should study with Xu Shan for a period of time, so that you can wait quietly, and I will explain to Xu Shan in a while."

"Thank you." Ye Dongming said sincerely.

……

Not surprisingly, the council soon agreed to Zhang Tianlin and Bai Shutong's proposal for a brain slice experiment. Moreover, it was emphasized that the experimenters must voluntarily accept it, because the chairman of the coalition government did not want to see the incident about "human rights" happen.

The two of them were a little difficult, the five of them were originally emotional because of the quarantine, and now they were told to conduct a brain slice experiment, they would definitely not agree.

However, to be able to obtain the Council's consent is to take the first step, and only a second step is needed......

"I suggest that it be conveyed to them truthfully." After a period of choice, Bai Shutong said.

"There's a lot of resistance right now." Zhang Tianlin reminded that it was clear that he did not approve of this.

"What do you mean?"

"Concealment." Zhang Tianlin said, "The surgery was done without their knowledge. ”

"It's not impossible to use this method, it's just ......" Bai Shutong hesitated.

"What are you worried about?"

"As a professor of medicine, my profession and ethics do not allow me to do this." Bai Shutong confessed, "And they will eventually know what we have done, and at that time it may get out of control and the gains outweigh the losses." ”

"Your concerns are not unfounded......

Tough decision.

In the end, the two reached an agreement to talk to them separately and tell the truth.

Unsurprisingly, the five were adamantly opposed to the surgery and did not believe that there was something wrong with their brains, even when they saw differences in their brain waves.

Due to their high emotions, the first conversation ended in failure.

Compared with the four astronauts, the translator Yang Baiwen's reaction was not so strong, after all, the previous collective "suicide" incident happened to the astronauts, not the translators.

However, although Yang Baiwen was very angry, he did not refute the fact that his brain waves had changed, and he only objected to the operation of brain slices.

It was also from this point that Zhang Tianlin and Bai Shutong easily found a breakthrough, that is, they tried their best to persuade Yang Baiwen to agree.

"As a professor of translation, I know you're more rigorous, and so is I." Bai Shutong said sincerely, trying to start from the career aspect.

As it turned out, it worked.

"Translation must be careful and meticulous, otherwise it will be 'a millimeter of error'!"

"Professor Yang, I agree with you." Bai Shutong continued, "If the translation is not rigorous, there will be a 'thousand miles of error' thing, but have you ever thought that if this situation occurs in medicine, it may kill people, it is a human life." ”

Yang Baiwen nodded in agreement.

"If there is something that human beings should not have on Earth, then ......" Bai Shutong didn't say any more, just looked at him quietly.

"It could be a catastrophe for all of humanity!" Zhang Tianlin added.

"Is it that serious?" Yang Baiwen waved his hand, "You two won't be deceiving me, right?" ”

But as soon as the words fell, he concluded that the two were not joking, because there was no joke on their faces. For a moment, he felt that the problem he was facing was indeed serious.

"Okay," Yang Baiwen sighed, "You can tell me more about the situation." ”

Half an hour later, the three fell silent.

Zhang Tianlin and Bai Shu are worried, and Yang Baiwen is thinking. From this point of view, it seems that his consent or disapproval will determine the future of humanity – which sounds a bit ridiculous.

There are some things in this world that are inherently elusive, and perhaps, a small decision by one person will have an unprecedented impact. But on this premise, there is a risk of losing one's life.

Ahead is the abyss, perhaps one step forward and the across; Behind is hell, maybe a step back is heaven. Forward, backward, which one do you choose? Or just stand still.

The two knew that this was a difficult choice, so they did not rush him, but waited quietly.

Finally, Yang Baiwen chose a down-to-earth path - agreed to have brain slice surgery.

"You must understand the ...... you are talking about," Yang Baiwen couldn't remember the technical term.

"Neuronal Consciousness."

"Yes. Although I agreed, there were two demands. ”

"If you have any requirements, don't hesitate to mention them." Zhang Tianlin said.

"It's enough to study me alone, don't push those astronauts anymore. After all, they are still young. ”

"For this kind of experiment, one sample is enough." Bai Shutong said approvingly.

"The second request," Yang Baiwen said while thinking, his expression was very serious, "I must clarify this matter, because I don't want to stop my work for the time being." Also, my biggest dream is to be able to contact and decipher alien languages, and I hope to achieve it one day! ”

Yang Baiwen's meaning is already obvious: "Make sure I'm foolproof!" ”

"We'll do our best!"

"Do your best?"

"Do your best!"

In this way, Yang Baiwen agreed to their request, and not only that, but he also took the initiative to comfort the other four astronauts and asked them to cooperate with the work of the aerospace institute.

From this point of view, Yang Baiwen is still wise, because he knows that even if they don't agree, they can't change the current situation and the final outcome.

It was already two days later when the operation was ready, and the reason why it took so long was to transport the equipment related to the surgery to the research room of the space institute, which was not a simple matter.

Because a hole is needed in the back of the head, the surgery takes about five hours. However, with Bai Shutong in charge, three and a half hours is enough.
