167: Chapter 167 Professor Ai Chongfeng is undoubtedly a hidden giant in the field of biological sciences!

"Before coming here, I had been wondering what method Chief Designer Lin used to completely cure Professor Ai of late-stage cancer!"

"Now, I am finally enlightened!"

Professor Shi Gongyi put down the technical materials in his hands,

his eyes filled with fervor.

"Conquering cancer! This is cancer we're talking about!"

"I have studied the molecular mechanisms of apoptosis for so many years, yet I never expected that it would be the Traditional Chinese Medicine system left by our ancestors that would solve this problem of the century!"

"What a stroke of luck!"

"I am now extremely grateful that I chose to return to the country three years ago!"

"This is definitely the most correct decision I have ever made in my life!"

In the back row of the conference hall,

sat the research team members brought by Academician Tu Shuangyou and Professor Shi Gongyi,

totaling about eighty people,

all of whom now showed excited expressions.

Among them were a dozen or so PhD students who had only recently become disciples of the two big shots.

These researchers were generally between 25 and 35 years old,

and being able to follow their mentors at such a young age to participate in the Yanhuang Project, the most significant project in Huaxia today,

could be considered a stroke of immense good fortune.

"Chief Designer Lin, Chief Designer Ai!"

"I wonder how the preparations for the Yanhuang Project are coming along?"

Professor Shi Gongyi spoke with a slight urgency,

his excitement palpable.

"When can we start?"

"Even if I have to wait just one more day, I can't wait any longer!"

Hearing this,

Lin Mo smiled and turned to look at Chief Designer Ai.

Chief Designer Ai understood and spoke up.

"Academician Tu, Professor Shi, please don't be anxious."

"Our sub-center was only completed two days ago; we are currently starting from scratch, and even the equipment and supplies haven't been fully stocked yet."

"I've done a rough calculation; it will take at least half a month before we can officially launch the Yanhuang Project."

"During these few days, we can properly organize and study our research ideas, and truly digest and master these technical materials."

After hearing Chief Designer Ai's words,

Academician Tu Shuangyou thought for a moment and said,

"Chief Designer Ai, equipment and supplies are necessary, but manpower is also crucial."

"The few people Professor Shi and I have under us are completely insufficient."

Hearing this,

Chief Designer Ai laughed heartily.

"Rest assured!"

"The two of you were specifically invited to be project leaders!"

"Having you come half a month early is mainly to assist me in presiding over the various preliminary preparations for the Yanhuang Project."

"Next, dozens more groups of people will be moving into the Genetic Engineering Sub-center."

"The top biological research institutes of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, as well as major industry leaders like Huaxia Pharmaceutical Group, Huaxia Biological Group, and Huaxia Genetic Technology Company,"

"will all dispatch their top scientific research teams and provide logistical support!"

"By then, the resident population of our Genetic Engineering Research Sub-center is expected to reach over 5,000 people!"

"The core elite researchers will number over 1,000!"

After hearing this,

Academician Tu Shuangyou and Professor Shi Gongyi nodded repeatedly.

"Then we are relieved."

Afterward,

the two asked Chief Designer Ai a few more questions,

quickly completing their initial integration.

"Chief Designer Ai, as your partners and deputies, we will follow all your arrangements!"

Academician Tu Shuangyou and Professor Shi Gongyi looked at Chief Designer Ai with eyes full of expectation,

seemingly having fully embraced their roles as deputies.

At this,

Chief Designer Ai was actually a bit bewildered.

He was a rocket guy presiding over the Yanhuang Project,

yet these two giants in the field of Huaxia's biological Sciences not only had zero objections,

but were even following his arrangements to the point of absolute obedience.

Is this logical?

This isn't logical at all!

What he didn't know was that,

in the hearts of Academician Tu Shuangyou and Professor Shi Gongyi,

they were already filled with respect and high expectations for him as their leader!

The reason was simple.

For a national-level project like the Yanhuang Project, which concerned the future of Huaxia,

the higher-ups had already designated Chief Designer Ai as the primary person in charge before it even officially started.

When facing such critical national matters, Huaxia would never practice favoritism; they would only appoint based on merit.

What did this show?

It showed that in the eyes of the higher-ups, Chief Designer Ai was more qualified than the two of them!

There was one clear piece of evidence.

All the technical materials they had reviewed today were from the hand of Lin Mo.

And as Lin Mo's only mentor, Chief Designer Ai,

how could he not understand them?

Lin Mo, as a brilliant rising star in the military industry, could conduct cross-disciplinary research in biological Sciences,

so as the mysterious mentor who could teach such a genius like Lin Mo,

just how formidable must he be?

Add to that,

Chief Designer Ai had suffered from cancer and fully recovered,

and the state immediately followed up by launching the Yanhuang Project...

All of these things,

were enough to prove,

that Chief Designer Ai had unimaginably deep research in the field of biological Sciences.

The reason he was previously unknown,

was very likely because Huaxia had suppressed the information!

After contracting cancer,

he was even willing to test the medicine on himself.

Such a spirit of self-sacrifice for the cause of biological research,

how could one not admire it?

Although up until now,

they hadn't seen exactly where Chief Designer Ai's prowess lay,

they firmly believed,

that in the upcoming research work,

Chief Designer Ai would surely demonstrate his rightful strength and caliber!

Consequently,

Academician Tu Shuangyou and Professor Shi Gongyi's eyes were filled with anticipation for the research work to be carried out under Chief Designer Ai's leadership!

Sensing their burning gazes,

Chief Designer Ai felt his skin crawl.

Although he didn't know what these two big shots were expecting,

in order not to show any weakness,

Chief Designer Ai straightened his chest,

and returned a confident, mysterious smile.

Seeing this,

Academician Tu Shuangyou and Professor Shi Gongyi became even more confident!

This time,

it was in the bag!

Lin Mo, sitting in the main seat, was completely unaware of the mental gymnastics between the three.

"Everyone!"

"It's about time. Elder Yuan and the others have been waiting in the laboratory downstairs for a long while."

Seeing that everyone had basically finished reviewing the technical materials,

Lin Mo laughed heartily.

"The specific work arrangements for the Yanhuang Project will be coordinated by the three project leaders."

"Now, representing the Supreme Academy of China, I will make only one request of you!"

"And it is the most important request!"

Everyone present sat up straight,

focusing their gaze on Lin Mo.

"This request is,"

"Secrecy!"

"The strictest secrecy!"

"You have already noticed that Elder Yuan's research team, who came with you, was not even able to attend this meeting!"

"Why?"

Lin Mo's smile vanished,

his voice becoming solemn.

"Because for this Yanhuang Project, the Huaxia Gene Bank will be utilized!"

"This concerns the security of the Huaxia people's gene bank; there is no room for the slightest carelessness!"

"Until key results are successfully produced, the highest level of secrecy will be maintained!"

"It is top-secret, comparable to the 'Two Bombs, One Satellite' project era!"

"Before coming here, everyone already signed confidentiality agreements, and you are all aware of the basic secrecy matters."

"I will emphasize one more point!"

"For every person sitting here, any sub-technology you handle is top-secret!"

"Except for the group leader, you are not allowed to disclose the content of your research to anyone!"

"Not even to members of your own group!"

"Is that understood?"

Everyone present shouted in unison: "Understood!"

"Very well!"

Lin Mo turned his head: "Mentor Ai, I'll leave the rest to you!"

Chief Designer Ai said firmly: "With Academician Tu and Professor Shi assisting, you can rest completely assured!"

Lin Mo nodded,

and taking several staff members with him,

he took the elevator,

heading toward the sixth floor of the sub-center building.

...

Sixth floor.

Plant Genetic Engineering Laboratory.

As soon as Lin Mo entered,

he heard Elder Yuan criticizing one of his PhD students.

"Xiao Li, you blockhead, you don't understand a thing you look at!"

"I told you to focus on those pages of the guide for in vitro culture of cereal plants and summarize them for me. Look at you, what kind of rubbish summary is this!"

"It's truly frustrating!"

"Taking on PhD students like you really kills off a lot of my brain cells!"

"I'm not taking any more, I won't take any more in the future!"
