127: Chapter 127 Descendants of the Dragon! China is about to enter a new era where everyone is like a dragon!
"Yanhuang Project?"
Lin Mo smiled and nodded.
"Yes, a new human project specifically for the Chinese people!"
"The goal of this new project is singular: to research and mass-produce a Genetic Supplement that can maximize the physical fitness of the Chinese people, benefiting all Chinese citizens!"
Lin Mo smiled very happily; he had already prioritized the Yanhuang Project at the top.
Once this project is truly implemented, China will enter a new era of humanity where everyone is like a dragon, and the Chinese people will truly become—descendants of the dragon!
It is also foreseeable that the Genetic Supplement will completely unleash the productivity of the Chinese people and trigger a series of social changes, far exceeding even Controlled Nuclear Fusion.
At that time, most departments in all current hospitals, except for those in major surgery that treat trauma, will have to close, and pharmacies, which are found every 50 meters, will all go out of business!
Because of the great enhancement in physical fitness, being "old but vigorous" will no longer be a compliment.
An eighty-year-old grandfather with eight-pack abs easily deadlifting 150KG, a seventy-year-old grandmother walking as fast as a national-level athlete—many things that were originally very incongruous will soon become reality.
Accompanying this will be major changes in many fields that are akin to overturning the table. The scope involved is wider, and the interests touched are deeper. I wonder how Chief Designer Bai Yannian, the Chief Designer of China's technological development, will handle this this time?
After Lin Mo finished speaking, the scene fell into silence. Professor Ai Chongfeng remained silent for a long time.
Lin Mo asked in surprise: "Mentor, are you unwilling?"
Professor Ai Chongfeng looked hesitant.
"Little Mo, can I really manage this Yanhuang Project?"
"You know, I've spent my whole life researching rockets; what the hell do I know about genetic engineering?"
"Asking me to lead experts in biology and genetics—isn't this a classic case of a layman leading the experts?"
"Such an important matter that benefits the country and the people must not be delayed because of me! It's inappropriate, inappropriate..."
Hearing this, Lin Mo couldn't help but laugh.
"Mentor, I'm still your student!"
"Strictly speaking, I'm also someone who works on rockets. Doesn't genetic engineering work out just fine for me?"
Lin Mo's words choked Professor Ai Chongfeng directly.
After a long silence, Professor Ai Chongfeng said with a tone of seven parts helplessness and three parts indignation.
"If I could compare to a monster like you, would I have spent ten years bitterly teaching at the University of Science and Technology of China?"
Seeing Professor Ai Chongfeng's unconvinced look, Lin Mo found it somewhat funny.
"Since Mentor understands this simple truth, what else is there to worry about?"
"To run the Yanhuang Project, do you need to research anything yourself?"
"Isn't the most critical factor me?"
Hearing this, Professor Ai Chongfeng was stunned and fell into deep thought.
Lin Mo leaned back against the sofa chair and said in a relaxed tone.
"For the person in charge of the Yanhuang Project, the first requirement is, of course, one hundred percent trustworthiness."
"This person must be loyal to China, loyal to the country, and loyal to me!"
"Mentor, you kept China in your heart even at the brink of life and death, your sincerity is moving! And you are the only one who knows the inside story of the Genetic Supplement!"
"Therefore, the person in charge of the Yanhuang Project must be you, Mentor!"
Lin Mo continued to encourage him.
"I will provide all the technology needed for the Yanhuang Project in minute detail. Mentor, you only need to spend some time brushing up on the basics of genetic engineering."
"As for the rest, just follow along without using your brain. Mentor, you don't lack even that much confidence, do you?"
Professor Ai Chongfeng was still somewhat resistant, but when he caught the keyword "without using your brain," his concerns suddenly dissipated!
The longer he spent with Lin Mo, the more he understood a truth: there was no need to use his brain, because it was useless even if he did.
In front of Lin Mo, a human brain and a pig's brain were no different; it was better to just not use it...
Since that was the case, why be afraid that he couldn't do the job?
"Fine!"
"I'll take on this Yanhuang Project!"
Professor Ai Chongfeng didn't hesitate any longer and agreed directly.
He had figured it out: after the Yanhuang Project was established, he would just be leading a group of people to copy homework.
Even if a bunch of naive college students were asked to do it, they might just be able to pull it off!
Seeing Professor Ai Chongfeng agree readily, Lin Mo nodded with satisfaction.
"The Yanhuang Project is of great importance, so I need to make a special report to the higher-ups."
"As for the project approval, it will probably take at least a month or two."
Professor Ai Chongfeng nodded: "Understood."
Actually, if they really wanted to push for approval quickly, with the invincible efficiency of the Supreme Academy of China, it wouldn't take that long.
The main reason was that Lin Mo's prestige points were insufficient, and he couldn't redeem the formula technology for the Genetic Supplement yet.
To promote China's new human project (Yanhuang Project) as soon as possible, he had worked hard to save prestige points for more than half a month, not even willing to exchange for the Azure Dragon Level 2 Supplement, and so far had only saved up over 12 million.
He was still more than 26 million short of the 40 million required to redeem the Azure Dragon Level 1 Supplement formula technology.
Following the current daily settlement of prestige points, it would still take at least two months.
However, Lin Mo didn't intend to limit himself too strictly.
He would submit the items to the Supreme Academy of China in the next two days and quickly build a Yanhuang Project research base in the designated area of his large comprehensive scientific research center.
When the building is finished, the project will start.
If he really lacks prestige points by then, he will just go to the Eagle Sauce airspace and take out a few hundred experience babies...
Emmm, I mean military satellites, and just make up for the difference.
What's the big deal?
"During this time, Mentor, you can just happen to stay in the hospital ward and brush up on the relevant knowledge of genetic engineering technology."
"Don't feel bored staying in the ward for so long," Lin Mo continued to say with a smile.
"You have to know, as a terminal cancer patient, with so many people watching you walk in lying down, only to be cured and walk out bouncing and full of energy in two days, it would be too shocking."
Professor Ai Chongfeng nodded. "That makes sense. What should I do?"
Lin Mo instructed, "Previously, I announced to the outside world that I treated you with my ancestral secret recipe for traditional chinese medicine."
"Mentor, you just need to pretend to be sick in the ward during this time, drinking traditional chinese medicine and doing acupuncture every day; this will actually be good for you too."
"As for how to act the part, you can do it like this..."
Lin Mo roughly explained his idea.
Professor Ai Chongfeng agreed very much and also put forward some of his own opinions on how to make the act more convincing.
After some discussion, the two finally decided on all the matters.
"There are too many things to do recently, so I won't stay with you, Mentor. I'll leave early tomorrow morning," Lin Mo said with a smile.
"By then, I will ask your wife and Xue Yi to take turns taking care of you."
Professor Ai Chongfeng came out of the bathroom and drank another large cup of compound nutrient solution. Hearing this, he waved his hand.
"Fine, you are leading so many projects, no need to stay by my side."
"I will know what to do with the subsequent matters."
The next day. 8:30 AM.
Professor Fu Lihong drove all night from the south and spent the whole night rushing to The First Peoples Hospital of Anhui Province.
Before Professor Fu Lihong arrived at the ward, Xiang Guangming and other senior officials had already returned to the nuclear research institute, leaving only two colleagues from Professor Ai Chongfeng's same working group to guard him.
Because Project Houyi had just finished ignition, there was a lot of follow-up work. With the number one and number three in charge both in the ward, if Xiang Guangming, the number two, kept wasting time here, Project Houyi would be left without a leader.
