Lu Jin nodded, “Ya, It’s different. I’ve already explained before.”
Lu Yuan couldn’t help glancing at Gu Nianzhi. Why does she care so much about whether the things happened to the Gu and He families here and the Gu and He families there were the same?
Lu Yuan thought so because he knew that the Gu Xiangwen in this world, Lu Jin, had a completely different experience from the Gu Xiangwen in the other world.
In other words, for sure the Gu and He families of the two worlds had completely different experiences.
Lu Yuan had a one-way communication with Gu Xiangwen from the other world before. He knew better than Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng what kind of huge sacrifices the Gu and He families over there had made in the northeast.
They had once worked together to destroy the largest research base of the Japanese Digital Army in the northeast. Unfortunately, the data had long been moved away by the Japanese. Otherwise, these Japanese researchers being war criminals, wouldn’t have had the capital to make deals with the Americans after the war, to escape the punishment from the International Court of Justice.
However, the parents of Gu Xiangwen and He Chengjian in this world, Gu Haize and He Shouwang, had never been caught by the Japanese Digital Army.
Lu Yuan thought for a moment and asked inquisitively, “Nianzhi, why do you care so much about this?”
Gu Nianzhi’s eyes flashed. Suddenly, she didn’t know how to explain her feelings. She couldn’t help looking at Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi made an eye contact, and they looked at each other in silence.
Huo Shaoheng understood what she meant with just that one look, he nodded at her.
With that nod, Gu Nianzhi was encouraged. She quickly cleared her mind and said in a low, hoarse voice, “I was thinking that Gu Xiangwen on both sides is a rare genius, but Gu Xiangwen and the Gu family on the other side have suffered too much.”
“The reason is that the Gu family on the other side was interfered with by the Japanese extreme right wing’s Genetic Enhancement Plan.”
“But Gu Xiangwen on this side, my father Lu Jin, has not been interfered with by the project. He is a natural-born descendant of Huaxia, but he is even more talented and capable than Gu Xiangwen on the other side.”
“What does this mean?”
“It means that the birth of geniuses in Huaxia has nothing to do with the Japanese Genetic Enhancement Plan.”
“Even without that , geniuses will still be born in Huaxia.”
“In this sense, the Genetic Enhancement Plan has killed so many true elites in Huaxia!”
“If not for their interference, Gu Xiangwen over there would have been even more talented, and the Gu family over there would not have suffered such a tragic fate.”
“But unfortunately, the Gu family over there is not as lucky as the one here. For the rest of their lives, they probably would not be able to get rid of the dangers brought by that Japanese project.”
Lu Jin’s eyes turned red.
Although the He family and the Gu family here were not affected by the research of the Japanese Digital Army, he had come into contact with the data that the army had given to the Americans when he was studying for a PhD in biological genetic engineering in the United States.
He could not forget that hot afternoon.
Sitting in a chill air-conditioned room, strong shock and humiliation engulfed him when he read those data and information.
Lu Jin had forgotten himself for a moment and said coldly, “Nianzhi is right. That’s why the descendants of the war criminals of the Japanese Digital Army are not qualified to continue their research in biological genetic engineering. That’s why I specially designed that experiment for him.”
The moment Lu Jin said that, he knew something was wrong and immediately shut his mouth.
Gu Nianzhi caught on to this sentence and her mind suddenly lit up.
It was like a chip loaded with a large integrated circuit. With the effects of quantum mechanics, various effects that could not be explained by classical physics has occurred. However, when these effects came together, they broke through the barrier of parallel spaces, this allowed Gu Nianzhi to understand Lu Jin’s true intentions.
She thought of the experimental design that Huo Shaoheng had asked a biologist from the Soviet KGB to explain. She thought of Ishihara Baisan’s insignificant research results over the years.
The biological genetic research of the entire Japan was restricted within a framework.
Her black jade-like pupils sparkled as she looked at Lu Jin, suppressing the excitement in her heart, Gu Nianzhi enunciated each word clearly. “Dad, you designed this experiment for Ishihara Baisan on purpose. You designed this experiment to resolve the bottleneck of Ishihara Baisan’s experiments, but in fact, you were the one who has led him astray!”
“Many times, when one views a problem from a different angle, one will come to a completely different conclusion.”
“The wrong angle and direction will lead one to the opposite direction.”
“And the faster one runs, the farther one would be from the right direction.”
“Dad, you were using an experiment in a completely wrong direction to lead Ishihara Baisan, and even all of the other Japanese biological genetic engineering researchers, to a dead end, thus blocking their progress in the industry!”
“Dad, you’re really amazing!”
Huo Shaoheng and Lu Yuan were shocked. Their eyes fell on Lu Jin’s unassuming face, and they couldn’t help but feel a sense of respect.
Thirty years ago, it was this person who looked such unreliable, with such a severe interpersonal disorder, who had carefully designed an experiment that froze the progress of Ishihara Baisan, or the development of the entire Japan’s biological genetic engineering industry.
For more than thirty years, they had made no progress.
Huo Shaoheng suddenly realised why Lu Jin had chosen to expose the fact that Ishihara Baisan had copied his experimental design at this particular moment.
“Uncle Lu, do you know something that we don’t?”
“As the chief scientist of the United Nations Population Fund, Ishihara Baisan had suddenly come to Huaxia and wanted to cooperate with the Academy of Sciences to conduct researches on genetic therapy. Was there some ulterior motive behind this?”
“Or did he finally realise that his research direction for the past thirty years was wrong?”
Huo Shaoheng was keenly aware that there was something fishy about this collaboration.
Lu Jin ignored Huo Shaoheng.
He looked at Gu Nianzhi in a daze. He did not expect that it would be his own daughter who would discover his hidden intentions for more than thirty years.
He was at cloud nine. The joy in his heart were in full bloom like colorful and dazzling flowers blooming in a garden.
“Yea dad, are you hiding some truth?” Gu Nianzhi held his hands and asked carefully.
Lu Jin came back to his senses. His lips were trembling, and his mind was in an intense struggle.
In the end, he lowered his head, and said in a low voice, “At the moment where he publicly mentioned Qin Yaoguang at the Spring Festival Gala, I knew that he must have realised something was wrong about his research direction from Qin Yaoguang’s research.”
“He is very smart. Once he is able to correct his research direction, his progress will catch up at a breakneck speed.”
“I cannot let that happen.”
Lu Jin pursed his lips and said stubbornly, “His research direction is about the the genetic fragment system that is unique to Huaxia people. I cannot let the Japanese or anyone else from other countries have that.”
“Letting foreigners to conduct genetic therapy research in Huaxia is like asking a tiger for its hide. I firmly oppose it!”
If this genetic fragment system was identified and discovered by outsiders, it would be a catastrophe for the entire Huaxia nation.
In this aspect, they would rather fall behind than compromise.
Ishihara Baisan was the most powerful genetic engineering expert in Japan. Once he died, Japan’s genetic engineering would fall behind by at least fifty years.
Of course, they were already thirty years behind.
The gap of eighty years was not so easy to catch up.
Gu Nianzhi did not expect her father, who seemed to only care about studies and experiments, would have such a deep sense of national consciousness and patriotism.
She had thought that he was merely a mad scientist, but he was actually a patriotic scientist too.
Lu Jin was not used to seeing the three people in the living room looking at him with admiration and respect.
He shrunk his neck, and whispered, “Actually, most of the modern biological research still relies on a huge-crowd strategy. Only the researches in biological genetic engineering and the high-energy physics, rely on a small group of people to achieve breakthroughs. So, with Ishihara Baisan’s death, we can at least be safe for a few decades.”
“Ishihara Baisan has accomplices. He has helpers.”
Huo Shaoheng restrained his excitement and said calmly, “Uncle Lu, do you know who are his helpers?”
Lu Jin lowered his head even more, “If I’m not wrong, it’s Qin Yaoguang.”
From his perspective, he was actually also one of the accomplices of Ishihara Baisan. Qin Yaoguang’s learnt all her knowledge in biological genes, especially the Huaxia genes, from him.
He had made mistakes that he needed to make up for himself.
This was a war that belonged to him alone, and he would not back down.
Gu Nianzhi held Lu Jin’s hand even tighter, as if she had seen through his thoughts.
She said calmly, “Dad, it’s not your fault. Qin Yaoguang is a scum of the Huaxia people. She is selling herself for glory, but her plan would not work. At least, I would not let that happen.”
“Don’t worry, after the New Year, Qin Yaoguang’s case will be heard again. This time, I’m going to rip off all her skin!”
