A sense of loss mixed with pain and anger arose, and Zhang Tianlin's chest became more and more uncomfortable, and this feeling made him feel painful. It's like a building block that a child struggles to put together, but is pushed down before he can show off......

"Mentor, are you alright?" Xu Shan asked cautiously, as if sensing a solemn aura.

"Haha, of course it's okay," Zhang Tianlin said with a smile, "I'm very happy to be able to overcome this scientific research problem, and I'm happy for the two of you." ”

Xu Shan on the phone was silent again, as if he was thinking about how to reply.

"You two get ready," Zhang Tianlin said, "I'll report to the commander-in-chief now, and get you to the South Pole as soon as possible!" ”

......

Seven hours later, Ye Dongming and Xu Shan were "transported" to Antarctica by an unknown transport plane, along with linguist Professor Yang Baiwen and several of his students.

Because on the excavated ice sculptures and totems, some strange characters were found that looked like alien characters and needed to be deciphered immediately......

When everyone met, they simply said hello and went about their own business.

After a short period of communication, Zhang Tianlin and others drew up a plan for "gene characterization" and "gene phagocytosis" surgery, although this was the first time it was implemented, they were all full of confidence - except for Bai Shutong. Because of the few, he is the only one who is a genetic layman.

When Li Liang got this plan, he simply asked: "What is the success rate?" ”

"There is no problem in theory, but," Zhang Tianlin hesitated, "no one dares to guarantee that it will actually work." ”

Li Liang pondered for a while, and suddenly asked, "You are Ye Dongming, right, I heard that you are now studying genetics with Lao Zhang." What about you? ”

"My name is Xu Shan." While Ye Dongming nodded, Xu Shan replied.

"Oh, I remember, you are Lao Zhang's student, and 'genetic modification' has your credit."

Unexpectedly, Commander-in-Chief Li Liang, who is one of the members of the coalition government council, actually knew the names of the two, which is really surprising.

"What do you two think?" Li Liang asked.

"I ......," Xu Shan was a little nervous, "I think it will work, but even if it doesn't work, this is the only solution." ”

Li Liang nodded and looked at Ye Dongming.

"Absolutely." Ye Dongming said calmly.

"Oh, tell me about it." Li Liang seemed to be interested.

At this time, Zhang Tianlin and Xu Shan's faces showed elusive expressions, and Bai Shutong, who had never said a word, watched this scene quietly.

"Actually, I don't have any special ideas, because the dean has been studying this topic for many years, just like 'genetic modification', the theory has matured, but it can't be practiced. Now that 'genetic modification' has been successful, I believe that this research can also succeed." ”

"Haha, Lao Zhang, this young man is not simple, you still bring it well!"

Zhang Tianlin looked surprised, and then responded: "You have won the award, and my role is limited......

Li Liang waved his hand, turned his head to look at Bai Shutong, and said, "Professor Bai, tell me your opinion." ”

Bai Shutong already understood Li Liang's decision, so he smiled and said, "I'll do this operation, I guarantee that there is no problem!" ”

Bai Shutong's answer was very clever, directly avoiding the key to the question, and showing them his advantages.

Li Liang smiled slightly, and said solemnly: "Then implement this plan, you don't have a psychological burden, no matter what the result is, I will bear it." ”

With Li Liang's support, they no longer hesitated and immediately began to prepare for the operation.

......

When the operation was completed, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening, and Bai Shutong, who came down from the operating table, looked very tired, and fell asleep after just drinking some water.

However, before he fell asleep, he did not forget to comfort the worried people - the operation went well.

Next, it's time for the "genetic trio" to shine.

Ye Dongming is responsible for monitoring Lu Xian's state, and Zhang Tianlin extracts the hidden information through the technology of "genetic characterization", because this work requires the operation of complex equipment, so Xu Shan's assistant is indispensable. Due to the urgency of time, they did not dare to stop for a moment, and the excitement flowed in their hearts, but they did not feel a little sleepy.

Although Bai Shu has been undergoing surgery for a long time, he has already had this experience, so there is nothing to worry about, and the facts have proved it.

However, it was the first time that the hidden information in brain tissue was extracted through the principle of "genetic characterization", and coupled with the complexity and cumbersomeness of operating equipment, their progress did not go as smoothly as expected.

However, it was gratifying that the next morning, they had finally finished the extraction, and Lu Xuan was in good condition.

Things are moving for the better......

After a brief break of several hours, several people gathered around a device, ready to witness the extracted information. At this point, the information has been transformed into a chart.

When dense lines and countless small black dots appeared on the screen of the device, several people were blinded, they had never seen this kind of chart, whether medically or genetically, this kind of chart is difficult to decipher.

It seems that things are not going as well as they should be, so don't be fooled by the superficial appearance of things......

"How's that, do you have a clue?"

Although Bai Shutong only said to Zhang Tianlin alone, he asked questions to the three of them.

Ye Dongming and Xu Shan immediately shook their heads, Zhang Tianlin did not answer, but judging from the solemn expression on his face, he could not understand the essence of it.

The three of them looked at Zhang Tianlin hesitantly, hoping that his mouth could say a miracle.

"I don't understand." Finally, Zhang Tianlin shattered this hope.

"What then?" Bai Shutong said anxiously, and it could be seen that he was on the verge of collapse.

Ye Dongming was looking at the chart and pondering, when suddenly the familiar voice in his mind reappeared, and said something that made him unpredictable.

"Audio mode."

Ye Dongming had an idea, and returned to his contemplative appearance, but the words "audio mode" were deeply imprinted in his mind.

So, he suddenly pointed to the screen of the device and said softly, "Dean, is there an audio mode there, why don't you switch it?" ”

Zhang Tianlin suddenly woke up!

Yes, "genetic characterization" can be expressed both graphically and audioly. It's just that the accuracy of the audio is relatively low, a fact that has been confirmed in research a long time ago, and even discarded by itself.

At this time, Ye Dongming suddenly mentioned it, which gave him a little hope. Moreover, he no longer had the extra mind to delve into why Ye Dongming knew so much.

"Not much hope." Zhang Tianlin shook his head as he spoke, "However, let's give it a try." ”

Xu Shan is not very familiar with this device, and the mouse goes back and forth and does not find a place to change the mode.

However, Ye Dongming saw it very clearly, and when he saw Xu Shan's appearance, he couldn't wait to operate it himself.

"I'll come." Zhang Tianlin said lightly.

Sure enough, Zhang Tianlin easily found the entrance, and after two minutes of waiting, an audio has been generated.

Zhang Tianlin put the mouse on the audio, the right hand holding the mouse trembled a little, and his gaze swept over the faces of the other three people in turn, as if asking: "Listen, or don't listen?" ”

"Mentor, let's do it!" Xu Shan said nervously.

Drip.

After two clicks, the audio starts playing, but there is no sound at all.

Zhang Tianlin thought that the playback volume was too small, and when the volume button was displayed as the maximum, there was still no sound. Could it be that the conversion failed? After all, it is the first time in this discipline......

"Listen, is there a tiny ...... Murmur? Ye Dongming suddenly said uncertainly, but with a determined expression on his face.

"Is there one?" Bai Shutong shook his head and said.

Xu Shan put his ear on the player's stereo for a while, and then said slowly: "It seems to be a little ......."

Zhang Tianlin also seemed to hear the noise, but the expression of loss had crawled all over his face, because he knew that even if there was a sound, it would still be difficult to decipher the mystery. Even if the audio segment can be analyzed, it may be empty.

In addition, he was skeptical about the equipment for the analysis, because it was developed on the basis of a prototype from a few years ago, and although it was an upgraded version, it was too old for genetics.

However, at Bai Shutong's suggestion, they still reported this problem to Li Liang.

"Your purpose is to decipher this audio," Mr. Li said, "and you need an expert in this area?" ”

"Yes." Zhang Tianlin replied succinctly.

"It's easy, wait a minute."

After saying this, Li Liang picked up one of the phones on the table and dialed three numbers briefly. After a brief period of instructions, and after only ten minutes, three experts with glasses arrived.

When the three experts listened carefully to the audio from beginning to end, they didn't say a word, and then listened to it a second time, a third time......

Finally, when they heard it for the sixth time, they copied the audio to a device they had brought, and after careful debugging, the sound slowly played from the device.

But before they could rejoice, they fell into disappointment and confusion, because they could not understand a word of the language that was played—except for one person.

That's right, that's Ye Dongming.

Although he didn't understand the language either, his instincts told him that he must have heard it at some point, or that some fragment of his memory was about it. And, even more bizarrely, the more he tried to think about it, the more vague the feeling became.

Ye Dongming thought for a while, and inadvertently raised his head in confusion, and found that Zhang Tianlin was looking at him! From Zhang Tianlin's eyes, he saw an unattainable complex emotion, including confusion, contemplation, shock, and even jealousy.

"Why?" Ye Dongming couldn't help but think.

However, now he is not what he used to be, and he is no longer afraid of any challenges and difficulties. Therefore, when he looked at Zhang Tianlin again, he responded with an expression that was difficult to shake.

At the same time, a name popped into my mind......
