I've been reborn, who still chases the school hunk?

Suddenly, a light flashed in her eyes. If the researcher no longer had children in the future, the impact of gene editing could be limited to a minimum. Thinking of this, she couldn't wait to call Academician Wu.

"Professor Lu? What's wrong?" Academician Wu's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a bit of surprise.

"I want to know what the family situation of the unconscious researcher is like? Does he have any children?" Lu Xuanxin's voice revealed an excitement that was hard to conceal.

Academician Wu was somewhat puzzled by the question, but he still pondered for a moment and replied: "If I remember correctly, he should have a happy family, with a gentle and virtuous wife, a son and a daughter. It can be said that they are happy and harmonious."

"That's great!" Lu Xuanxin couldn't help but cheer, a smile of relief blooming on his face.

Academician Wu on the other end of the phone was even more confused. He really couldn't understand why Professor Lu was so excited. Moreover, he had never seen Professor Lu smile so happily.

"Professor Lu, what are you doing..." Academician Wu finally couldn't help but ask curiously.

Lu Xuanxin stopped smiling and turned serious. "Academician Wu, I suddenly thought of a possible solution. If we want to perform gene editing, the biggest ethical issue is that he may have offspring. But now that he already has children, can we negotiate with him to perform sterilization surgery? In this way, we can avoid the ethical issues brought about by gene editing."

Academician Wu was stunned when he heard this, and then a hint of approval flashed in his eyes. He had to admit that although Professor Lu's idea was a little unexpected, it was very feasible.

"You're right! But he is still in a coma. If we make a decision without authorization, what if he disagrees after he wakes up?" Academician Wu asked with a wry smile.

"If he disagrees, we will help him recover." Lu Xuanxin said calmly, his tone revealing unquestionable determination, "If he chooses to remain unconscious, then we will let him sleep quietly until we find other solutions."

Academician Wu on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, and finally said with emotion: "Professor Lu, although your method is a little... unique, it is indeed very effective. I will arrange an examination as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Xuan hurriedly left the underground laboratory and got into Bai Yongyuan's car to go to Academician Wu's villa. Just a few dozen minutes later, she appeared in front of the operating room of the National Laboratory.

"How are the preparations going?" she asked Academician Wu in front of her.

"Everything is ready," Academician Wu replied.

Lu Xuanxin looked around the equipment in the operating room, with a hint of satisfaction in her eyes. However, when she saw the security measures in the operating room, she couldn't help but frown.

"Are these security equipment enough?" she asked. "This researcher's physical strength will be greatly enhanced today. What if he loses control and hurts someone after waking up?"

Academician Wu looked embarrassed. "That... shouldn't be the case. He usually has a very gentle personality."

"Gentle personality?" Lu Xuanxin sneered, "Academician Wu, you should know the influence of genetic modification better than me. He is no longer the same person as before."

Academician Wu was shocked by Lu Xuanxin's words. He was silent for a moment and then asked, "Then what do you think we should do?"

"Reconstruct the operating table." Lu Xuanxin said firmly, "Turn it into a cage-like device to ensure his safety."

Under Lu Xuanxin's guidance, the operating table was quickly transformed into a sturdy cage. However, she did not intend to stop and continued to say to Academician Wu: "We also need a defense robot equipped with a laser gun."

Academician Wu stared at Lu Xuanxin with wide eyes, not knowing what she was up to. However, before he could ask any questions, a robot that was not covered in skin walked in and shouted at Lu Xuanxin, "Professor Lu! Defense robot number Z-2410 reports to you!"

Academician Wu looked at this unique robot with curiosity and surprise in his eyes. He really couldn't understand how Professor Lu could get such an advanced robot in such a short time. What surprised him even more was that this robot seemed to obey Professor Lu's orders.

Wow, there are so many robots on the market now, with different shapes. Some look like lifelike animals, while others look like real people, which is a feast for the eyes. However, robots like this one that keep the original color of steel and have no shell are becoming increasingly rare, exuding a unique industrial beauty. Academician Wu stood in front of this unique robot, looking at it curiously, and said to Lu Xuanxin beside him.

"Academician Wu, what do you think of this robot?" Lu Xuanxin introduced with a smile, "This is the latest ZD-3 combat robot developed by our Xuanhuan Technology Company. It is designed specifically for dangerous combat missions and is equipped with a variety of high-tech combat modules. Considering its combat attributes, we deliberately retained the original steel color and did not add a shell to it, so as to more intuitively demonstrate its powerful functions. Of course, if the market needs it, we can also customize a personalized shell for it."

After hearing this, Academician Wu's eyes flashed with appreciation. He nodded thoughtfully, expressing his approval of the design.

"That's great!" Lu Xuanxin's face was filled with a proud smile. "With this combat robot protecting us, our safety is effectively guaranteed. Then, we can proceed with the next operation with confidence!" She solemnly told Academician Wu.

"Okay, Professor Lu!" Academician Wu responded confidently.

With the precise assistance of the robot, Academician Wu and the famous doctor next to him began the tense operation. The researcher on the operating table lay quietly, waiting for them to use advanced instruments to perform genetic modification surgery on him.

Genetic modification surgery is still a huge challenge for modern medicine. However, thanks to the top-notch equipment provided by Lu Xuanxin and the superb medical skills of Academician Wu, the operation was carried out smoothly.

The atmosphere in the operating room was tense and solemn. Lu Xuanxin stared intently at the data changes on the instrument, her eyes firm and resolute. At the same time, the intelligent assistant Xiaozhi was also continuously monitoring the subtle changes in the researcher's body to ensure the accuracy and safety of the operation.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the only sounds in the operating room were the slight sounds of the instruments and the steady breathing of the medical staff. Finally, after a long and arduous effort, the operation was successfully completed.

"The operation is complete!" Academician Wang breathed a sigh of relief. He turned to Dr. Zhao and said with emotion, "Dr. Zhao, you have worked so hard! Without your help, this operation would not have been so smooth."

"It's not hard!" Doctor Zhao responded with a smile, "It's my honor to participate in this operation. After all, in this era, there are not many doctors and scientific research teams who dare to try genetic intervention surgery. You not only have superb medical skills but also forward-looking scientific research vision. This is a rare learning and growth opportunity for me!" When he said this, his face showed sincere admiration.

However, just as everyone was immersed in the joy of the successful operation, a loud noise suddenly broke the tranquility and harmony. Everyone's face changed slightly and they looked towards the operating table almost at the same time.

The researcher on the operating table had woken up and was struggling to get rid of the restraints on her body. Her eyes revealed a trace of confusion and uneasiness, as if she was confused and puzzled by her situation.

"Don't move!" Academician Wu hurriedly stepped forward to stop her and comforted her, "Your condition is still unstable and you need to rest and observe for a period of time before you can recover." His tone was full of concern and worry.

The researcher looked at Academician Wu in astonishment, as if he was trying to recall something. She asked with a confused expression: "Academician Wu? Why am I here? Where is this? Why am I tied up? What happened?" She asked questions one after another, and it was obvious that she was very confused and puzzled by her experience.

When Academician Wu was about to answer, Lu Xuanxin's eyes suddenly became solemn. She keenly noticed the researcher's abnormality, so she asked softly: "Researcher Wang, do you really not remember what happened before?" Her voice was soft and guiding, trying to help the researcher regain his lost memory.

Researcher Wang was stunned for a moment. She looked up at Lu Xuanxin with confusion in her eyes. She tried hard to recall, but her mind went blank.

"I only remember that I wanted to collect samples of alien pathogens at that time," Researcher Wang frowned and began to recall, "Suddenly I felt dizzy, and then lost consciousness. I don't know what happened after that." After saying this, her face suddenly changed, as if she remembered something terrible, and said to Lu Xuanxin in panic: "Professor Lu, the culture dish may have been broken! The alien pathogens may have leaked out! What should we do?" There was deep worry and fear in her voice.

Lu Xuanxin looked at her calmly, gently holding her hand, conveying comfort and strength. "It has been leaked." She stated the facts calmly, "Moreover, you have become a host for alien pathogens. You have been in a coma for several months."

"Ah?" Researcher Wang looked at Lu Xuanxin in astonishment. This news was too shocking for her. She seemed to have lost her soul and stood there in a daze.

However, Lu Xuanxin did not let her fall into the abyss of despair. A strange light flashed in her eyes, as if she saw hope for the future. "But don't worry too much," she said softly, "Although you are infected with this alien fungus, it is hard to say whether it is a blessing or a curse!" Her words revealed an inexplicable confidence and expectation.

Researcher Wang next to her looked at her in confusion, obviously unable to understand the meaning of this sentence. However, Lu Xuanxin did not explain too much, but just smiled at her, as if waiting for her to slowly understand it herself.

After a moment, Lu Xuanxin slowly spoke: "After our research over the past few days, we found that the alien fungus in your body is actually a fungus specially developed for symbiosis with alien civilizations. This fungus can enhance lifespan and strengthen physical genes! That is, it can cause genetic mutations!" Her words were full of excitement and expectation, as if she had seen a brand new future.

Upon hearing the news, Researcher Wang's face suddenly became serious. As a student majoring in biology, she is well aware of the risks and uncertainties that may arise from gene mutations. However, she also understands how rare and precious this opportunity is.

Looking at Researcher Wang's serious and complicated expression, Lu Xuanxin smiled gently and comforted him: "Don't worry! We have conducted in-depth and systematic research on the fungi in your body in the past few months. We found that since these aliens are also carbon-based organisms and mammals, the impact of this fungus on us is mainly positive. It will strengthen your genes and make you stronger and healthier!" Her voice was full of confidence and expectation.

Hearing Lu Xuanxin's words, the bewilderment and confusion in Researcher Wang's eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a kind of expectation and excitement. Is this really the case? ? She asked silently in her heart.

"Of course," Lu Xuanxin seemed to see through her thoughts and continued with a smile, "After all, these aliens are different from us, so in the process of strengthening, some of your genes have also been strengthened! For example, the sleepiness gene. That's why you have been sleeping until now." Her words revealed a reverence for science and a spirit of exploration of the unknown.

After listening to this, Researcher Wang nodded thoughtfully, and began to gradually accept and digest this amazing fact. At this time, Lu Xuanxin continued to explain to her the next plan and expectations: "We just performed a gene modification operation on you! This operation is unprecedented in the world! Of course, this is also a helpless move, because in your current situation, you can only wake up through this method. Otherwise, you may continue to sleep." She paused here and continued to look at Researcher Wang and said: "But the operation was very successful! Your body is now much stronger than before you fell into a coma! You can feel it."
