Since being promoted to professor of genetics, Ye Dongming has gained more authority, and of course, this is also inseparable from the support of Vice Dean Xu Shan. Zhang Tianlin was transferred to the board of directors, and Lin Shengwei was about to retire, so the entire biological institute was actually controlled by Xu Shan.

Based on a solid relationship before, Ye Dongming has been paid more and more attention, and of course it is inseparable from his achievements in genetics.

Under the instruction of Zhang Tianlin, Xu Shan began to vigorously study the application of "gene enhancement", and the results have been remarkable, and it has reached the stage where it can be practiced. However, how to get started is still subject to the Council's study and approval.

During this period, Ye Dongming did not really participate, the reason was "not interested", and Xu Shan and others did not force it, because they did not lack "genetically strengthened" talents, and at the same time respected Ye Dongming's opinion.

But Ye Dongming is not idle, he continues to study the topic of "genetic characterization", that is, how to "download" the genetic map when he is "active" and save it. Unfortunately, however, no progress has been made.

In addition, what puzzled him was that since the operation of "genetic characterization" for the whole people, his mind had never been "active" again, and he had never connected with the X-star, was it really eliminated?

He had always been skeptical about the question, distressed that no one could share such thoughts, and he tried to give it a legitimate conclusion in his own power.

Perhaps without the help of "thinking", Ye Dongming felt more and more mediocre, and the clues can be found from his current research. Not for fame, but for scientific exploration, so he desperately wanted help.

However, no matter what his heart cried out and prayed, the miracle did not happen, he did not know how many times it had been, but it turned out that the connection between the mind had been broken.

However, he didn't want to give up, he felt that there was something in his heart that he couldn't reach, even if it was just a point, an empty point......

Just when he had nothing to do, a person's name suddenly appeared in his mind - Yang Baiwen.

Ye Dongming was shocked, not knowing if this idea was a flash of inspiration or if his thinking was doing something wrong. Thinking of several meetings with Yang Baiwen, it seems unreasonable, but it seems to be deliberately arranged, is this what is going on in the dark?

Thinking of this, Ye Dongming no longer hesitated, and immediately dialed Yang Baiwen's phone, but no one answered. Fortunately, before leaving the Antarctic continent, Ye Dongming asked for an emergency number in Yang Baiwen's office.

"Hello, I'm looking for Professor Yang."

"Who are you, and how did you get this call?" The other party asked hesitantly, it was a young man.

"I'm Ye Dongming from the School of Biology, and I hope I can talk to Professor Yang."

"Ah, hello!" The other party's tone immediately changed, and it seemed that he knew his deeds, "Professor Yang is studying in the spaceship, not in the office. ”

"His phone ......"

"No, Professor Yang doesn't like to be disturbed when he works," the other party said respectfully, "if you ......"

Ye Dongming understood what he meant, so he tried to say: "That's the case, I have something very important to talk to him, please find a way to tell him." ”

"But......" The young man was clearly in a difficult position.

"You told him I had some clues related to alien spacecraft."

"Okay, you wait, I'll get back to you in half an hour!"

......

For Ye Dongming, this half an hour seems to be a long time, and this feeling is like determining a very clear thing in the haze, but there is no evidence.

Finally, forty minutes later, Ye Dongming's phone rang.

"Dongming, what's the clue?" Yang Baiwen said expectantly, it seems that this is the most exciting thing in a long time.

Hearing him say this, Ye Dongming felt a little guilty in his heart, there was no choice but to use this way.

"I'm sorry Professor Yang, but I came to you for another thing." Ye Dongming said frankly, "I hope you don't get angry." ”

Yang Baiwen was silent for a few seconds, probably thinking about whether to get angry, and finally replied calmly: "Actually, I'm a little angry, but it doesn't matter." ”

"Looks like your research isn't going well?"

"Well, no progress."

"I'm sorry I couldn't help you."

"Haha......"

There was a hearty laugh on the phone, which surprised Ye Dongming.

"Okay, okay, don't take it so seriously, I haven't talked to an old friend for a long time. Anyway, what's the matter? ”

Ye Dongming first talked about his research during this time, this was the first time he talked about it to the second person, but afterwards he couldn't understand why he chose to do this, and then he expressed his confusion.

Of course, this also caused Yang Baiwen to be confused, he didn't understand why Ye Dongming said this to himself. However, deep down, I took it for granted.

"Why are you saying this to me?" Yang Baiwen asked.

"Probably because of my heart!"

"This answer is very irresponsible, and there must be other reasons."

Ye Dongming thought for a while, must have made up his mind, and said: "I remember that when I visited you for the first time, there was a piece of paper on your desk with a line of ancient Egyptian characters written on it......"

When Yang Baiwen heard him say this, the scene at that time immediately came to his mind, and he blurted out: "You are the one who was chosen to assist Siwei!" This is what you translated! ”

These words have been confusing Yang Baiwen, he had been thinking about it for a few weeks, but still there was no answer, but now he was brought up again by Ye Dongming, how could he not be excited? He had a hunch that Ye Dongming had the answer he wanted!

"Yes, you're the one chosen to assist the mind." Ye Dongming said unusually calmly, "What is a 'thinking person'? ”

Yang Baiwen seemed to have an answer in his heart, but he didn't say anything, but quietly waited for his answer.

"How did you feel when you first fell into 'deep contemplation'?" Ye Dongming asked suddenly, which surprised Yang Baiwen.

At this moment, he finally understood that he was not the only one who had this experience, and he was not the first person, Ye Dongming on the other end of the phone also had the same experience, maybe he was the first person.

"You're the one I'm going to help." Yang Baiwen unveiled the answer.

"Yes." Ye Dongming replied without the slightest hesitation, "All this is the plan of the X star people. ”

For this answer, Yang Baiwen was obviously shocked, and it was not this incident that shocked him, but the purpose of the X-star people. What is their purpose, is it to invade the earth? However, there is no point in controlling the minds of several people, and relying on their advanced technology, it should be simple to occupy the earth.

"Although I remember that unforgettable experience, it was only that time, they gave me guidance and left me with mysteries. Since the 'genetic characterization' surgery, they haven't been seen again, isn't it wondering? ”

"Yes," Ye Dongming sighed, "Now that our mind connection has been broken, are they just asking you to help me uncover their own secrets?" This statement seemed too far-fetched and weak for me to have any new clues, and I wondered about their purpose. ”

"I think it's the 'genetic characterization' that blocks this connection, and if they wanted to invade the earth, I'm afraid they would have taken action a long time ago, and there was no need to wait for thousands of years." Yang Baiwen said optimistically.

Hearing him say this, Ye Dongming understood that the X-star people did not show him all the secrets. So he said, "Professor Yang, I probably know why they didn't invade the earth......

"Oh?"

Yang Baiwen's puzzled voice came from the phone, but it was obvious that the shock was even greater.

"Tell me about it."

"Actually......"

Ye Dongming was about to say, but there was a "doodoo" hang-up sound on the phone, he thought the line was disconnected, and dialed again, but he couldn't get through. After trying a few times, Ye Dongming had a smile on his face, and he sat quietly in his chair, waiting for some moment to come.

However, to his surprise, what he was thinking about did not happen, and he still sat in his chair.

Ye Dongming dialed Yang Baiwen's phone again, but he still couldn't get through, but when he called another person's phone, it was a normal call.

"You cowards, just give up, you shatter my lofty ideals! You don't deserve a high civilization, you don't deserve wisdom, you don't deserve everything! Ye Dongming roared loudly and vented his dissatisfaction.

After venting, a wave of melancholy poured into my heart, followed by disappointment, loss, and the meaning of life seemed to begin to dim again. He felt abandoned, abandoned by life again, the breath of death slowly sniffing the air around him.

"You forced me!"

After the silent shout, Ye Dongming contacted Zhang Tianlin and said that he wanted to go to Antarctica.

"What's going on?" Zhang Tianlin asked with concern, "I heard Xu Shan say that you have rarely participated in the research of 'gene enhancement' recently, why do you want to go to Antarctica now?" ”

Ye Dongming smiled faintly and replied: "Actually, it's nothing, I just think there are still undiscovered clues in the spaceship, besides, those patterns and words seem to be missing." I would like to discuss with Professor Yang again......"

"I'm not asking about it, it's about your status."

Ye Dongming looked at Zhang Tianlin's eyes and felt that these eyes were brighter and full of vitality. It seemed like for a moment, he thought of something.

"There is a sense of loss...... Ye Dongming said honestly, "since the alien spacecraft incident, from discovering the secrets of the X-star people to the realization of 'genetic characterization', everything has been unprecedented." However, when these difficulties have been overcome, when everything is based on peace, everything seems to be normal again, even if the crisis is not resolved......"

"Maybe I understand your feelings," Mr. Zhang said, "and you want to go to Antarctica to relax?" ”

After saying this, Zhang Tianlin showed an intriguing smile, Ye Dongming didn't know if he was joking, or he meant something.

"There is a reason for this, but the main reason is to talk to Professor Yang, hoping that he will make new discoveries."

"As far as I know, no." Zhang Tianlin said, "But if you want to go, I can arrange for it to be ten o'clock tomorrow morning, okay?" ”

"No problem."
