An old man sat in front of Ling Yanzhi, with his hands folded and his face peaceful. He was the first public servant to come to the scene after the blockade instead of communicating via video or hologram. He was also the former chairman of the OMEGA Association, Shen Shixing.He looked at Ling Yanzhi through the protective layer of the isolation room, thinking about what kind of magical energy this young man possessed, which would allow him to remain deeply in the vortex of public opinion after he jumped from upstairs.

At the same time, Ling Yanzhi also looked at this old man who was once a legend: he was hale and hearty, his hair was gray, and he was very old. Although due to the shortage of manpower, there were many people of this age in the workplace.Because of his special contribution to the country and his age, Mr. Shen did not participate in the classification of ABO grading. That is to say, he is one of the very few people in the society who do not belong to ALPHA, BETA, or OMEGA.In addition to his status as the chairman of the OMEGA Association, he also holds many honorary positions and chairmanships. He is a well-known old scientist and social worker. It is very important to win his support.And he came here this time not as the chairman of the O Association, but as the acting chairman of the Ethics Committee, and wanted to talk to Ling Yanzhi.

"I already understand the general situation. Xiao Jin was also my apprentice once, so I know his style very well. I am here this time mainly to meet you." Elder Shen spoke clearly and steadily, revealing a Gentle and elegant, everyone's temperament, "Although I am only a nominal name as the chairman of the O Association, until today, I suddenly understand how much weight it really has. You have great vision and courage, young man."

Ling Yanzhi smiled: "To be honest, Mr. Shen, if I have vision, I won't push myself to this point. In this world, people like me actually have very few choices. Whether it is survival The way I study, the direction of my studies, who I fall in love with, and who I marry are not controlled by my own will, or the range of control is very small. I sometimes amaze people, and that amazement is not my doing. What, but I actually dare to do this—challenging certain bottom lines and authority." He paused,

"But the people talking about it don't know that if I want to live like them, I can only do this."

Shen Shixing nodded, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes. "I am here today with two identities. One is that as the outgoing chairman of the OMEGA Association, I want to meet the successor elected by the public. How should I put it? Although this position is the first in five years It’s a reelection, but I never expected it to draw attention at this level. However, how the vote turns out, to be honest, can still be changed and manipulated.”

Ling Yanzhi understood this very well.Don't even bother with the voting results, just find a blemish or two in his past, disqualify him from the candidacy, and make it all right.And he knows himself too well: he's never been the perfect victim who's superior, kind, and infallible.

But he is also betting: in this case, Shangfeng must be on the same side as him; this time, the axiom of the world is on the same side as him.

Shen Shixing nodded and continued: "In another capacity, as the acting chairman of the ethics committee, I was ordered to come here to conduct a comprehensive ethical review of your upcoming experiment. This time, it may be another crossroads of human destiny. , if you are a scientist, you should understand, right?"

Ling Yanzhi was stunned for a moment. It had been a long time since he had heard the title of scientist being called with such respect in person. "If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't be coming back here."

"Then, I want to know whether your plan, especially the plan that you will promote as the chairman of the OMEGA Association, will be better than the proposals submitted by the 'Nature School', 'Resurrection School', etc. received by the Ethics Committee. Is it more in line with the development of human relations with the proposal?"

"Our plan... is very simple. The steps I want to carry out are also very simple," Ling Yanzhi replied, "That is to improve the artificially weakened strain of Type II Myers on the existing basis."

"Since it is artificially produced, it can be made more perfect. This initial creative construction, I also produced a corresponding conceptual framework during my Ph. Of course it can, and I can try my best to modify the excerpts on the original basis to make him less susceptible to OMEGA."

Shen Shixing nodded. He also thought of a team of scientists who supported the grading school system. Judging from the experience of Ling Yanzhi and Jinlinzi, this is the part they are most familiar with and have always insisted on. There is nothing wrong with it; the biggest weakness of this measure The thing is, the current situation waits for no one. "The point you made is indeed in line with human ethics, and will preserve OMEGA's human rights and lives to the greatest extent. However, this is what we have been doing; for so many years, the pace of scientific research has never stopped. It is related to Myers' disease The number of people involved in related research, especially virus research and reproductive research, has increased by five times when the total population is halved. Almost all social resources have been invested in it, resulting in less than the past growth rate of scientific progress and development in other areas One tenth. Have you ever thought that if the research this time will last like this for ten or twenty years? Or even just three or five short years... we can't afford to wait."

"In various recent analysis reports, the analysis of security threats at the national level has exploded in an instant. Because this time we are no longer facing a common threat at the human level, but a partial one, and it may only be aimed at us, who have a complete ABO system. countries that pose a threat. Other countries may be the first to get the full genome sequence. If they ignore the risk of OMEGA infection and produce 'women' first, they may have a new large-scale population growth before us, wait another 20 years, then We do not have the ability to wage a generational war with them, including military, economic, agricultural, etc. may be plundered by the new wave ... Our babies may not have time to grow up."

"Sorry, I know this sounds cruel, but this is the result of considering the development of the human generation at the national level. The idea of ​​the ABO grading system was also based on this point - we must have more than other countries Resources for future generations. So far, not all countries in the world have such a complete and smooth ABO system as ours.”

"Omega's human rights will not be guaranteed once the generational war breaks out. What do you think of this objective threat?"

Ling Yanzhi didn't answer. He tilted his head and thought for a while, then suddenly smiled: "When we implemented the ABO grading method, we also encountered extremely strong resistance. But at that time, the nationwide system, in order to let us Have hope and a future first, but have you considered the problems of other countries in the next generational war? Didn't you ask this group of low-level population to "dedicate" for this unnecessary "national threat" ''Sacrifice'?"

"I think, even if you have to sacrifice and sacrifice, you can't sacrifice the same group of people over and over again, right? If you catch a sheep and pull it hard, sheep have backbone."

"So this time, those vested interests who wore wool on their bodies last time to keep warm, have a good taste, and plan to continue. Anyway, it is OMEGA who will die. As long as a woman is born, what is the point of OMEGA's existence? Anyway, it will To have new maternity machines, to create new objects of oppression—I sometimes feel that to solve their problems, OMEGA or women are really not needed, only consumables like 'angels' are enough."

"But it turns out that 'angels' are not enough. As long as we are human, we will always pursue and need human beings. Sex-love is not only a physical need for human beings, but also a spiritual resonance and catharsis. The standard of life is the difference from other creatures. If you lose this point, you will lose the macroscopic vision; it seems that it is no longer so important to talk about extinction from the perspective of reproduction.”

"Then, after all, OMEGA is a human being, not a beast at the mercy of others, nor an 'angel' who takes whatever he wants, and is not a 'hero' who only knows how to sacrifice and dedicate. Repeatedly squeezing and blindly taking, the final result is that it will persecute people. Stand up and fight. People like Yu Lian were born in this way, and he is not the only one; the OMEGA resistance organization in Yuncheng is not accidental. I can also put forward the 'national threat theory', that is, you have to make people Going to a dead end, everyone has to face the imminent 'ABO war' before the 'children's war' comes."

Shi Shihang looked at him, noncommittal, but asked a second question: "So, do you have an estimate for the success of the improvement and the time it will take to predict?"

"Here is a simple forecast report, which has been submitted to the ethics meeting before. We don't have much time to spend on it, and everything is now a race against time. However, I personally set this time within two months. "

"Can it be done?"

"It can be done. Academicians Jin and Academician He, and the teams they lead are all top scientific research talents in the world, and I proposed a theoretical model ten years ago. Not to mention that now, living successful cases are also in At present; is there a more unique condition than this? You must know that many times it is the difference between 0 and 1. The key to growing from 1 to infinity is to break the initial barrier. In history, steam, electricity revolution and information Revolutions, all tell us the same truth. Now it can be described as a 'virus revolution', and we are just one breath away from breaking through the last wall; it is unwise to give up at this time. This is my identity as a scientist made speeches."

Shi Shihang had a heartfelt respect for the young man in front of him.It can be heard that he is serious.Reminiscent of his personal experience, and the experience that in Yuncheng, it is said that only three people dared to mess up a long-planned overall situation and retreated unscathed. Compared with courage, what is needed is an unprecedented belief—— He never doubted the profession he was fighting for. Even in the past 20 years, many people have gradually given up in front of the long wall that cannot break through the barriers of life: In recent years, they think that reproductive science has come to an end, and turn to life. Scholars of longevity, human transplantation, human freezing, and siliconization of the human body have also faintly become an unspeakable trend.

Human beings are faced with the dilemma of Theseus.

The ethics committee is currently facing a large number of "petitions" and "proposals", including disclosing the full gene sequence of type II to the academic community, opening up human embryonic cell experiments, opening up female gene banks, etc., and proposing to suspend this year's OMEGA uterine transplant surgery Schedule, immediately isolate existing OMEGA to "eliminate hidden dangers", etc., and so on.Each item emphasizes the urgency and imminence, and must be ahead of others; and the political level is even more turbulent, demanding that Yuncheng immediately return Professor He Liguo and his team, and the extradition of the international criminal Yu Lian who tried to use religion to provoke war. At the level of international alliances, the sky is turned upside down.The other three parties with jurisdiction over Yuncheng immediately lodged a solemn protest, arguing that Professor He Liguo conducted extremely dangerous virus improvement experiments without international permission, which caused the threat of super infectious diseases in the Yuncheng area, and committed endangering international security and crimes against humanity. to the International Court of Justice.

There were waves of uproar, noisy noises, and so on.

It is not the first time for Shen Shihang to face such a situation. Frankly speaking, when a natural disaster suddenly struck 20 years ago and he was appointed as the commander-in-chief, the situation he faced was a hundred times more serious than it is now.Under the extreme situation and the psychological pressure of panic, there are many proposals to attack other neighboring countries and forcibly snatch their women as "reproductive resources".At that time, he fought against all opinions, withstood tremendous pressure, offended countless people and finally suppressed these proposals.Although the facts later proved that he was right, because even if a lot of manpower, material and financial resources were spent to rob women, it would be of no use. No race is immune to the Myers virus invasion as rumored, and isolation does not work; but Afterwards, he was gradually excluded from the core of power because of this, and he was "temporary for the elderly". This is why in today's shortage of talents and the retirement age has been extended to 80 years old, he can only be the "Chairman of the OMEGA Association" in such a powerful position. In the eyes of Pai, it is a completely trivial job.

He paused, then changed the subject and asked, "Why two months?"

"Because I probably won't survive two months." Ling Yanzhi said indifferently, after thinking about it, he shook his head and actually smiled, "But I will do everything possible to survive these two months, and strive to not live for a minute. few."

Shen Shixing was stunned for a moment. It’s not like he’s never seen people who are indifferent to life and death. Twenty years ago, they couldn’t even run a funeral parlor. In the end, they requisitioned the chemical incinerators of many enterprises, and they were able to run them 20 hours a day. , Many people even see it indifferently.

But this person is different from them, when he talked about all this, he was really happy and happy, that kind of natural from the heart, like this is really a good thing.Isn't he afraid?Or has it really been seen through?But that's not the expression of being completely disappointed in life or after being enlightened. "you……"

Ling Yanzhi didn't want him to ask any further, and changed the topic: "Don't worry, Mr. Shen. I can guarantee that in two months, other people who can get this sequence control group will never be ahead of us. Research out a weak virus strain that is formed, useful, and able to act as a check and balance on 011. Even if they claim to be useful, they must be false. I will trouble you and Director Lan, for all the next false claims that they have successfully developed Information, prepare sufficient materials, and strike precisely one by one.”

"How do you know that they can't research it? The world is so big, maybe there are such geniuses, and countries will definitely launch various levels of resources and research and development rights for this project, exerting extremely strong pressure on our authorities. You How can you guarantee it?"

Ling Yanzhi smiled slyly: "Of course it's because I'm the worst OMEGA in history."
