Chapter 146 Research Platform
This board house has four large sections horizontally and three small sections vertically.
From a distance, it looks like an airport in a vast expanse of white.
There is a small window on the very edge of the cabin.
The glass of the window is foggy, a kind of translucent frosted glass.
At this time, I looked outside and vaguely saw a long-haired figure, obviously a woman.
That’s Duan Jingzhi!
This was Chongning’s first feeling.
Apart from Duan Jingzhi, the only woman in the undersea tomb is Alice.
Alice's hair is short.
At this moment, Chongning could confirm that Duan Jingzhi was in that cabin.
Duan Jingzhi, Xuanzhen and Sun Yi should be detained there.
After Chongning waited for Bruce Lee to enter, he quietly sneaked into the dark side of the cabin from one side.
The position here is just blocking the front view.
Bo Chen, who was guarding the gate, was in a blind spot for surveillance.
Chongning tiptoed and quietly came under the window.
The rooms here are all prefab houses, simple houses that can be built quickly.
Therefore, the seams between the various steel plates are not perfect.
There is a big gap next to the window like here.
Chongning leaned against the board and peeked inside.
Ah, it’s not Duan Jingzhi.
The woman inside is not Duan Jingzhi.
But a woman in white with long flowing hair.
This woman is not Chinese either, she is a blond and blue-eyed foreign girl.
She was wearing a gray and white overalls and a mask, and was playing with some test tubes.
Only then did Chongning see clearly that inside the cabin, there were various instruments and equipment, as well as various displays.
There is also a large workbench on the desktop, with an alcohol lamp, a microscope, etc.
If he hadn't seen it on the bottom of the sea, he would have thought it was the scientific research office of a university professor.
Next to the woman, there was a fat man with a beard.
He wears the same work clothes, but looks a little sloppier.
With all the buttons on his clothes open, no mask on, and hair like a chicken coop, he looked like the boss of this scientific research laboratory.
"How was it this time? Is there any progress?"
The inner door of the cabin opened and Zeng Qianfan walked in.
The bearded man threw over a pile of information and said: "Six samples were taken, and the concentration continued to increase, but the effect was not ideal."
Zeng Qianfan's expression was ugly, "I paid an exorbitant price to invite you here because I'm interested in your scientific research capabilities, Dr. Guweisi."
"It's been three months, and you're just going to perfunctory me by giving me a conclusion that the effect is not ideal?"
Obviously, he was extremely angry and his whole body was trembling.
The woman next to me said: "Zeng, scientific research is not quick."
"It is very common for a brand-new project to go from project establishment to research and development to maturity, let alone three months, even three years!"
Zeng Qianfan directly threw the information in his hand on the ground.
"I don't have that much time, a month at most, otherwise you won't even think about going back!"
Gu Weisi's big eyes sank, "Are you threatening me? Are you still trying to silence me?"
Inside the cabin, the air pressure dropped.
Gu Weisi is a big figure in the overseas scientific research community, and if something happens to him, it will definitely be international news.
Moreover, he has great energy, which cannot be shaken by ordinary people.
So far, Zeng Qianfan does not have that strength.
Zeng Qianfan smiled gloomily, "Tenured Oxford professor and chief scientist of Hollow is engaged in illegal gene editing."
"What impact will this news have if it is released?"
Gu Weisi's eyes flickered, first with a hint of fear, and then gradually turned into a deep look.
Gene editing, also called genome engineering, is a technology that precisely modifies target genes of organisms.
Simply put, if this technology matures, it will bring about earth-shaking changes.
It can modify the genome at will, which means it can treat many incurable diseases.
For example, cancer, leukemia, Alzheimer's disease, etc.
Many genetic diseases can be easily repaired.
It is even possible to edit perfect babies, children without any genetic defects.
Because of this, there are many issues involved, especially in terms of ethics and social morality.
Gene editing will cause inequality in human society.
If liberalized, then whether a child's genes are good or not does not necessarily depend on the parents' genes, but is directly linked to money and power.
Whoever has more power, higher status, and more money will have better children.
The general public will become a completely vulnerable group.
Furthermore, gene editing technology is uncontrollable.
The current technology is still in its infancy.
The human genome is extremely complex and affects the whole body.
Edit at will, and unpredictable mutations may occur.
Gene editing is a Pandora's box.
The subsequent effects are unknown, and may even affect the entire human gene pool and harm future generations.
Therefore, various countries have extremely strict restrictions, and illegal gene editing in our country is clearly covered by the criminal law.
Zeng Qianfan waved a storage disk in his hand and said with a sneer: "If the data here is transmitted to the forum."
"Guess, will you be ruined or go to jail?"
The woman next to her became anxious and said, "Zeng, you are despicable! We have an agreement! Are you willing to let him go without fear of a lawsuit?"
Zeng Qianfan smiled, "Does the contract with the devil count?"
The woman's face was full of anger and she still wanted to reason.
Gu Weisi pulled her shoulders and said, "Forget it Yalma."
Zeng Qianfan was also afraid of offending him, so he smiled and said: "I'm not in a hurry for success, time waits for no one."
"That old man is waiting for life-saving medicine."
"Besides, don't hide it from me. You have been studying this technology secretly and it is already very mature."
"Only high-concentration samples are needed to achieve initial completion."
As he spoke, he stared closely into Gu Weisi's eyes.
Gu Weisi's face was expressionless, but there was a glimmer of light in his eyes.
Obviously Zeng Qianfan was right, they have been secretly researching this technology.
Zeng Qianfan gave a jujube a stick to eat, "My requirements are not high. I will develop it within a month."
"When the time comes, all the money promised to you will be put into your foundation."
His eyes flashed and he said, "How is it?"
Gu Weisi stood on the scientific research office desk, his expression changed gloomily.
Hjalma next to him also stood blankly.
The atmosphere inside the entire cabin became very quiet.
After about three minutes, Gu Weisi said: "But, we need a more pure serum."
"The previous ones were too weak, and no matter how much they were purified, they would be useless."
Zeng Qianfan nodded with satisfaction and said: "Well, it's very fast. I will definitely bring you the purest plasma in the next two days!"
