Chapter 94: Choices Are All the Time
A month has passed since the press conference, but the discussion about "genetic modification" has not stopped. There are two schools of thought in society: those who are for and those who are against.
Whether it is the social elite or the refugees from the slums, they are in the middle of both. This shows how great the repercussions caused by "genetic modification" are.
Naturally, Ye Dongming became the most famous person in the coalition government, but the most dazzling person was the president of the Aerospace Research Institute - Zhang Tianlin.
When you show your worth, all your previous prejudices will come to naught, and everyone will envy your achievements, even if they are jealous.
The times are advancing, but also screening, the fittest survive, and those who do not adapt to the changes of the times will eventually be eliminated.
This was no exception, and at first, only a minority supported "genetic modification" and the majority were opposed.
However, with the statements of the council and the coalition government, the two sides slowly became evenly matched, and finally reached the situation that most people wanted to see – almost unanimous vote.
For Zhang Tianlin, it can be regarded as reaching the peak of his life. However, at this very moment, fate continues to play a joke on him, and he must make a final choice.
Just yesterday afternoon, Zhang Tianlin had just finished an interview with the "Global Core", and when he returned to the office, he had another eye disease.
This time was different from the previous times, first the eyes throbbed violently, and then the vision began to deteriorate, but there was no pain.
However, what was even more terrifying than the pain was that before he injected the last "Biologics B" into his body, his eyes completely lost their light!
After the biological agent B took effect, Zhang Tianlin made up his mind, and he chose to choose to become the second person after Ye Dongming - silently becoming a "volunteer".
Two days later, when Zhang Tianlin opened the liquid nitrogen tank containing Ye Dongming's gene chain, he only hesitated for two seconds, and with the familiar sound of injection, he completed the most difficult decision in his life.
……
Since the collective disappearance of the four astronauts of the "Exploration Program", the linguist Yang Baiwen has been restricted in his freedom, purportedly to protect his personal safety, but in fact for surveillance.
After all, he was the only one left of the five people in the "Exploration Project".
Yang Baiwen knew in his heart that he had no way to get rid of suspicion, but the police couldn't find a motive, so he accepted the status quo with peace of mind. The point is, it doesn't affect your research.
What's even more coincidental is that the person in charge of monitoring Yang Baiwen is Liu Xiangshan, the captain of the detective team.
Originally, the monitoring task was not within the scope of the detective team, and Liu Xiangshan repeatedly won it from Director Pei Qing.
Of course, his goal is simple - to find out the mystery of the astronaut's disappearance. Moreover, he insisted that Yang Baiwen, who "survived", was the breakthrough.
As a translator, Yang Baiwen is best at ancient Egyptian, and the most powerful way to study ancient Egypt is the pyramids. But because the coalition government didn't pay much attention to this research, he didn't make any major discoveries.
Therefore, in translation, Yang Baiwen is lonely.
In terms of his character, the people he hates the most are people who don't know how to pretend to understand, and there is another type of person that makes him scoff, that is the police, which is his painful past a long time ago.
Liu Xiangshan, however, is an exception.
The reason is that the "primary schoolboy" attitude when he first visited left a deep impression on Yang Baiwen. Especially when he was leaving, Liu Xiangshan's unintentional words made his heart seem to accept this "primary school student".
"Then when you translate the meaning of these characters, please let me know, I also want to learn."
It is this sentence that has brought great help to Liu Xiangshan's work.
……
Jingle Bell ......
"Captain Liu, I'm Yang Baiwen."
After receiving the call, Liu Xiangshan almost couldn't believe his ears, he looked at the phone screen again and confirmed that it was Yang Baiwen.
"It's me, hello Professor Yang."
"Is it convenient to come here?" Yang Baiwen said on the phone.
Liu Xiangshan was shocked again, he didn't expect this professor who "doesn't get in oil and salt" to take the initiative to call him.
"Convenient, you are ......"
Before he could finish speaking, Yang Baiwen said on the phone: "Then come over quickly!" ”
"Now, now?"
"Yes, what?" Yang Baiwen asked hesitantly.
"No problem, it's over!"
Liu Xiangshan pulled up the lunch he had just eaten a few bites, then took out a tissue and wiped his mouth casually, quickly ran to the parking lot, and drove the car to the School of Translation.
Liu Xiangshan kept thinking on the road, Yang Baiwen was in such a hurry to let him over, did he want to provide any useful clues?
Thinking of this, I felt a burst of joy in my heart.
Recently, his pressure was too great, and Pei Qing asked him to solve the case in two months - the collective disappearance of astronauts. At that time, he boasted about Haikou in front of the director, but a month has passed, and there has been no progress.
The last time he chatted with Zhang Tianlin for a long time, he finally locked the breakthrough on Yang Baiwen, although he could not clear his suspicion, but there may be an internal connection.
Just when he was leaving, he found out that Zhang Tianlin was hiding the fact of myopia, and after analyzing all the events, he came to an astonishing conclusion: everything was related to Zhang Tianlin.
As a result, Liu Xiangshan locked Zhang Tianlin as a suspect, and he can't be sure what it is.
In addition, if Liu Xiangshan wants to investigate Zhang Tianlin, he can only take indirect means, such as from the relationships between the characters around him: Xu Shan, Zhou Ran, Bai Shutong, Yang Baiwen, Williams, Ye Dongming, etc.
What's even more unfortunate is that Yang Baiwen is among them, and there seems to be some kind of connection between the two......
"Professor Yang, what's important?" As soon as he arrived at Yang Baiwen's research room, Liu Xiangshan hurriedly asked.
"Hehe, I've made a big discovery." Yang Baiwen said with a smile.
Liu Xiangshan held back the joy in his heart and asked excitedly: "Is it about ......?"
Before he could finish speaking, Yang Baiwen picked up a piece of paper from the table and handed it to him.
"Remember this?"
Liu Xiangshan saw a string of strange characters, shook his head suspiciously, and said, "I don't know." ”
"I know you don't know," Mr. Yang said, "I mean do you remember the string of characters?" ”
After he reminded him like this, Liu Xiangshan suddenly remembered the picture of the last conversation.
"Oh, I remember." Liu Xiangshan was a little lost, "Isn't this a strange character that you suddenly wrote last time, you also said it was ancient Egyptian." ”
"Young man, good memory."
"That's what you asked me to come here for at noon?" Liu Xiangshan asked.
Yang Baiwen saw the puzzled expression on his face, and immediately laughed: "Look, I forgot your lunch time, I'm sorry." ”
Liu Xiangshan immediately noticed that his expression was too obvious, so he hurriedly said, "It's okay, did you find something?" ”
"Yes," Yang Baiwen said, "didn't you say last time that if the translation comes out, you must tell you?" ”
