205: Chapter 205 Sword Pointing at Japan! I'd rather bear the infamy of this generation than let future generations enjoy happiness!
Just as Professor Ai Chongfeng was about to speak, Professor Shi Gongyi's phone alarm rang with a "ding-a-ling."
"It's Academician Tu Shuangyou," Professor Shi Gongyi said, turning on the speakerphone.
"Professor Ai, did you have a bowel movement today?" "Yesterday's sample has been used up. Remember to eat more protein today; we must control the variables..." Academician Tu Shuangyou said in a gentle, soft voice.
Veins were bulging on Professor Ai Chongfeng's forehead.
"...If it's convenient for you, I suggest you spend time with Teacher Fu tonight..."
Hearing this, Professor Ai Chongfeng completely snapped and erupted like a volcano.
"Get out!!! All of you, get out!!! I want to go home, I want to go home!! I came here to do research, not to be researched!!!"
Half an hour later, in the main conference room of the Genetic Engineering Research Sub-center, Professor Ai Chongfeng sat at the head of the table, with everyone else gathered around.
"Chief Designer Ai, come now, take a deep breath!" "Clear your mind, you must maintain a good mood..." "Relax, we will definitely be more mindful of our methods in the future..."
A large group of people surrounded him with smiles on their faces, but Professor Ai Chongfeng felt sorrow in his heart.
After being a university professor for ten years, having argued with heaven, earth, and air alike, he never imagined there would come a day when he would be the one receiving psychological counseling!
"Alright, alright, I know, everyone go back and sit down!" Seeing Professor Ai Chongfeng return to a state of calm, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief and returned to their seats.
"Listen, everyone!" Looking at the group, Professor Ai Chongfeng said with a wry smile, "Can you let me rest for two days? You all need to rest too! It's the New Year right now; today is the first day of the Lunar New Year! As the primary person in charge of the Yanhuang Project, I say this counts! Starting today, everyone is on a three-day holiday!"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other. Shortly after, Academician Tu Shuangyou spoke up.
"Chief Designer Ai, once the Yanhuang Project has started, it cannot be easily interrupted. Especially regarding your physical data samples; if we cannot complete the genetic mapping in one go, it is very likely that... all our previous efforts will be wasted!"
Hearing the words "all our previous efforts will be wasted," Professor Ai Chongfeng fell silent.
"Chief Designer Ai!" "Please, you must persevere!" Academician Tu Shuangyou looked at Professor Ai Chongfeng and said earnestly.
"Your body is currently in a miraculous state of harmonious coexistence with cancer cells! This is a miracle of life! It is a miracle that you and Chief Designer Lin personally achieved! We have combined your metabolic products with the gene activity dataset, and the cancer library genetic map is already over 80% complete. In at most one month, it will be fully mapped! The dawn of victory is right before our eyes!"
Professor Shi Gongyi also chimed in, "Chief Designer Ai! You yourself know the extreme importance of this work! Nowadays, every organ, every inch of skin, and every piece of flesh in your body contains countless known and unknown cancer cells! We have sufficient reason to believe that the cancer cells in your body have already encompassed all known human cancer cell mutation genomes!"
Professor Shi Gongyi became more and more excited as he spoke. "Once the cancer library genetic map, created using your body's data as a blueprint, is successfully drawn, it will become the 'Father God Map' of our Huaxia Yanhuang Project! It will not only directly solve the century-old problem of cancer but also provide the fundamental principles for the development of Genetic Supplements! It is a feat that will benefit the present and future generations!"
Professor Shi Gongyi's words made the biologists present nod in agreement. In response, Professor Ai Chongfeng looked helpless. He had already heard these grand principles countless times over the past month.
Everyone understands the logic, but to be stared at like a living laboratory specimen all day long would drive anyone insane!
If he had known the Yanhuang Project involved this kind of research method, he would never have agreed to it, even if it killed him!
However, looking at everyone's expectant eyes, Professor Ai Chongfeng felt even more helpless. As the primary person in charge of the project, he couldn't back out now, no matter what!
"Then... let's continue!" "But first, let's make it clear: next time I go to the restroom, absolutely no one is allowed to stand guard nearby!" Professor Ai Chongfeng said through gritted teeth.
Fortunately, there was only one month left, and the genetic map would be complete! If it were like they had said before, and it dragged on for another half a year or a year, he would truly go crazy!
Hearing Professor Ai Chongfeng's words, everyone present beamed with joy and readily agreed. Professor Shi Gongyi originally wanted to say a few more words, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.
Everyone was just preparing to adjourn the meeting and rush back to the Yanhuang laboratory to begin biological research when a staff member from the secretary's office walked quickly into the conference room.
"Chief Designer Ai!" "The secretary's office in the main building is requesting your presence. Many official media outlets are waiting to interview you!"
Listening to the staff member's excited words, Professor Ai Chongfeng was stunned. "Interview me?" "What is there to interview me about?"
The staff member reported excitedly, "Chief Designer Ai, don't you know yet? Your heroic deeds were announced to the people of the whole country at noon today! CCTV, Xinhua News Agency, People's Daily Online... all the heavyweight official media have come! Originally, this interview was supposed to be for both you and Chief Designer Lin! But Chief Designer Lin has been on vacation for the past few days! So you have to fill in first!"
Professor Ai Chongfeng went in a daze and came back in a daze.
The interview process was very short. The content mainly asked him how he usually taught his students and what considerations were behind those radical remarks he made in the past... blah, blah, blah, adding up to less than twenty minutes.
Until the interview ended, Professor Ai Chongfeng still couldn't figure out what deeds of his were worth publicizing. Those viewpoints of his had already spread online years ago; was there any need to dig them up and publicize them now?
However, Professor Ai Chongfeng soon learned from the secretary's office that these interviews were all arranged by Lin Mo, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
Returning to the Genetic Engineering Research Sub-center, because the work on the Yanhuang Project was heavy, the project team members didn't go online to check the news, and everyone didn't take it to heart.
Soon, Professor Ai Chongfeng immediately threw himself back into the intense research—er... being-researched work.
What Professor Ai Chongfeng didn't know was that on the second day of the Lunar New Year, based on his on-site interview, the official media launched a new round of propaganda.
[Transcript of Professor Ai's Interview!] [Dedicated to Military Industry, Vowing to Personally Wash Away National Humiliation!] [A Crime in the Present, a Merit for Future Generations!] [Millions of Our Compatriots Killed, Today We Must Exact Payment!] [Better to Bear the Infamy of One Lifetime, So That Future Generations May Enjoy Prosperity!]
The viewpoints of every propaganda report were very clear, arguably even filled with murderous intent, pointing directly at certain countries!
At the same time, the specific requirements for those wanting to share in the dividends of Controlled Nuclear Fusion energy from Huaxia were officially announced by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!
Japan. Tokyo. Cabinet meeting. Prime Minister Meima sat at the head of the table, with many cabinet ministers kneeling in attendance.
Looking at the harsh conditions set by the Huaxia official authorities and the transcript of Professor Ai Chongfeng's interview, Prime Minister Meima's face turned livid, and many high-ranking Japanese officials present were drenched in sweat, with cold sweat running down their spines!
A radical representative of The Hawks from Huaxia who bluntly wanted to destroy Japan, and a Huaxia scientist who led the creation of many epoch-making military equipment—the sparks created by the collision of these two would be a catastrophic disaster for Japan!
