“Chief Xu, all members of the project research team are here. Please give us your instructions on how to proceed.”

At the Academy of Engineering headquarters, in the project laboratory, Wei Jinhua was talking to Xu Yuan beside him.

The expression on his face was full of excitement.

The project research team members in front of them are full of expectations.

Wei Jinhua is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. He was previously in charge of this genetic engineering project and invested a lot of time in it.

However, the progress is extremely slow.

So far, there has been no breakthrough.

This led to a gradual sense of frustration within the research group.

Originally, this was just a project within the institute, so relatively speaking, the pressure was not too great.

Although there is no breakthrough for the time being, I can still regain my confidence.

Keep researching.

But he didn’t expect that because of the alliance’s Proxima Centauri exploration plan, the world began to pay more and more attention to genetic and cell research.

In recent times alone, I don’t know how many leaders have taken the initiative to ask about it.

The pressure generated is more than a little bit great.

Although he was not required to make progress within a certain number of days, the pressure caused by being valued was difficult to eliminate.

It even affected the normal progress of the project.

He was originally having a headache over this matter, and there was no good solution for the time being.

Who would have thought that happiness would come so quickly.

He suddenly received a notice saying that the chief scientist Xu Yuan was to be in charge of directing the project.

This is simply a timely help.

Let them all see hope again.

After all, everyone knows Xu Yuan’s name. All the projects he is responsible for or involved in are successful.

Especially when I think that after Xu Yuan’s arrival, the project will finally make new progress.

The whole person couldn’t wait.

So when the two sides met today, he gave all the final say to Xu Yuan.

Let the other party guide the work.

In addition, the research of the current project has encountered a bottleneck, and he also wants to see how Xu Yuan solves it.

Xu Yuan swept his eyes over and memorized everyone’s faces.

When he put the focus back on Wei Jinhua, a smile appeared on his face and he responded to what the other party had just said.

“What are you talking about, Wei Yuan? This is my first time on a project team like this. I will need your support and cooperation in the future.”

“Besides, since this project is already on track, let’s continue working according to the previous content allocation.”

“I won’t give any guidance.”

What he said was absolutely correct. In the Alliance, he created many miracles in scientific and technological development, allowing human civilization to transform the environment of Mars and even conduct scientific expeditions to the distant Proxima Centauri.

But genetic engineering belongs to another field.

And he had no experience in this project before.

There is still a lot to learn.

In this case, you definitely cannot take the initiative to direct the work right from the beginning, otherwise it will affect the original rhythm.

However, when these words reached Wei Jinhua’s ears, the other party became anxious.

Now the project is facing a bottleneck, and we all rely on Xu Yuan to lead us out of the predicament, so how can we do it without Xu Yuan’s guidance?

As the saying goes, people are the shadow of famous trees.

From the very beginning, Xu Yuan has been an all-round talent who has made achievements in many fields. Coupled with the impressive achievements he has made over the years, he has formed a deep-rooted impression in everyone’s mind.

It can only be said that no matter how complex and difficult a project is, as long as it is in Xu Yuan’s hands, the result will only be success.

So Wei Jinhua stopped keeping the secret.

He immediately took over the conversation and explained the real situation.

“It’s like this, Chief Xu. I’m not afraid of you laughing at me. Our gene cell engineering project has hit a bottleneck and we’re unable to make any new progress. We’re worried about what to do, so we beg you to give us some advice.”

Xu Yuan listened to Wei Jinhua’s words patiently, but he didn’t know what to say.

I never thought that there would be this one waiting for me.

This suddenly made him think that perhaps the higher-ups knew about the situation, so they asked him to temporarily hand over the project work at the alliance and be responsible for the research of this project.

After all, according to what Wei Jinhua said, it is indeed difficult to see actual results in a short period of time.

But since he agreed to come, he certainly couldn’t ignore the difficulties ahead.

What’s more, he himself very much hopes that this project can make a breakthrough as soon as possible so as to increase the average life expectancy of individuals in human civilization.

As the saying goes, take care of things as they come.

Although his knowledge in the field of genetic cell engineering is relatively weak.

For now, I can only grit my teeth and go ahead.

When the thought lingered here, he softened his tone and said, “Then please tell me the details of the project, Dean Wei.”

“No problem, please follow me, Chief Xu.”

Wei Jinhua’s expression suddenly brightened when he heard this, and he answered without any hesitation.

Then he took the initiative to lead the way, and while heading into the laboratory, he explained the research status of the project in detail.

As for the other project research team members on the scene, they all followed Xu Yuan.

……

Wei Jinhua has devoted a lot of energy and time to this project. It only took him more than an hour to basically explain the situation clearly.

The final result was that even Xu Yuan couldn’t help but frown.

Because the actual situation is far more serious than the bottleneck.

To make a realistic evaluation, it should be said that Wei Jinhua and his team’s previous research had completely reached a dead end.

In this situation, there is no way forward.

The bottleneck cannot be broken no matter what.

You should know that for a scientific research project, whether it can eventually achieve results depends on whether the direction and ideas chosen are correct.

If you are sure of yourself, you are indeed on the road to success.

Then there is no need to worry.

Even if you encounter bottlenecks and obstacles along the way, as long as you persist, you will reach your destination sooner or later.

Otherwise it will just be a waste of time.

No matter how much effort you put in, there will be no results.

It is not an exaggeration to say that if Xu Yuan had not taken over this project today and continued to hand it over to Wei Jinhua, if the right direction could not be found, then it would basically be impossible to achieve research results.

After learning about this situation, Xu Yuan came up with his own solution in a very short time.

That is to overturn and abandon all previous research.

Choose a new direction and start over.

Although this means that all previous efforts have gone to waste, as long as the project makes progress, it is worth it.

If someone else had brought up this matter and directly told Wei Jinhua that your research direction is completely wrong and that you need to choose a new idea as soon as possible, then the probability of success would definitely be very low.

I believe many people will choose to persevere.

But it was Xu Yuan who proposed this suggestion. The project research team members had no objection and agreed to it immediately.

Wei Jinhua was even more excited.

I believe in my heart that Xu Yuan’s research in genetic cell engineering is absolutely not inferior.

If we can easily find the problems in his project plan, then success is obviously a sure thing.

–

that’s it.

the next period of time.

With the cooperation of Xu Yuan, Wei Jinhua and others, they successfully found a more promising research direction.

And immediately began specific research.

By developing a gene injection targeting human cells, the activity of cells can be enhanced.

Once this injection is successfully developed, it will not only be able to repair mutated cells, but also completely eliminate cancer, the nightmare of mankind.

It can also enhance the physical fitness of human individuals and slow down the aging of cells.

This will achieve the goal of increasing the average life expectancy.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as this injection comes out, it will definitely cause a sensation around the world.

It has become the hottest topic discussed by everyone.

You have to know that in the past, no matter how great the achievements in space exploration were, they were all driven by the people’s sense of honor as individual human beings.

But gene injections are directly related to oneself and can truly prolong life.

Just thinking about it makes you realize how crazy this would be.

of course.

It is not easy to actually develop this kind of injection.

Especially when Xu Yuan really started to do it, he felt more and more the difficulty.

It is even more powerless than the previous attack on the quantum engine.

The research and development of gene injections is different from other projects. In addition to repeated experiments, it is also necessary to ensure that there will be no side effects on the human body.

This process alone, even if there is a breakthrough in the laboratory, it will still take a long time for it to be truly applied to ordinary people.

Time flies by like a fleeting moment.

Several years have passed quickly since Xu Yuan took charge of the research on the genetic cell engineering project.

It is worth mentioning that during these years, Xu Yuan did not spend all his time on the projects of the Academy of Engineering.

I often go to the alliance headquarters to follow the progress of various projects.

Mainly due to age and physical reasons, older generation scientists such as He Luping and Wood are no longer responsible for specific projects, but are more focused on passing on their experience to fresh blood in the alliance.

Let this scientific research spirit be passed on.

Although this generational change in scientific researchers still inevitably slows down the progress of the alliance project.

But it has also achieved many brilliant results.

Among them, at the lunar base, mankind’s first outer spacecraft manufacturing base was finally successfully built.

And began the construction of the third interstellar spaceship Pioneer.

After the ship is officially put into service, it may be possible to start buying tickets, allowing everyone to truly experience the space journey of their dreams.

As for Mars.

Whether it is the artificial magnetic fields being built at the North and South Poles, or the increasing number of nuclear fusion reactors.

All of these demonstrate humanity’s determination to transform the Martian environment.

Although the current environment on Mars has not changed much compared to the past, a large number of engineering robots are gathering near the asteroid impact area, working day and night to build Mars City, mankind’s second extraterrestrial base.

This place will be larger than the lunar base and will be able to accommodate tens of thousands of people in the initial stages.

It can also be called a project of the century.

In the future, it will become the starting point for human conquest of Mars.

The most regrettable thing is naturally the disappearance of the Far-flung Ship.

Several years have passed since the Far-flung Ship set sail. According to the ship’s flight speed, if everything went well, the ship should have traveled almost half the distance by now.

Unfortunately, the distance between them is so great that it is difficult to capture accurate signals unless the Voyage returns to the solar system.

But what is gratifying is that everyone has not forgotten the Far Eastern Voyage.

Even after so much time has passed, there are still many people discussing this issue every day in the topic circles specially set up for this purpose on the Internet.

Looking forward to the day when I can see the Voyage again.

……

Xu Yuan arrived at the office at the headquarters of the Academy of Engineering early that day, but he did not get down to work.

Instead, he paced back and forth, with a hint of nervousness on his face.

After several years of research on genetic cell engineering projects, we finally achieved some results.

A special gene injection was successfully developed.

Some time ago, experiments were formally carried out on humans.

If nothing unexpected happens, all the analysis reports on the effects of the injections will be delivered today.

By then we will be able to know the specific situation of the injection.

You know, to some extent, this is one of his longest-lasting projects. Perhaps it has something to do with the gradual decline in brain thinking due to aging, but he has indeed put in a lot of effort and energy.

Today, we naturally hope to give a satisfactory answer.

This will also help to promote this injection to the market as soon as possible, truly improving the average life expectancy of human individuals.

Although Xu Yuan’s face doesn’t seem to have changed much today, his silver and black hair can’t hide his age.

As this is a normal physiological phenomenon, Xu Yuan has no intention of dyeing his hair black.

Just when Xu Yuan was feeling a little uneasy, he heard someone knocking on the door suddenly from outside.

Hearing this, Xu Yuan’s eyes suddenly flashed with excitement, and the next second he hurriedly shouted towards the office door:

“Come in.”

Wei Jinhua, who also looked visibly old, pushed the door open and did not try to hide the happy smile on his face.

Holding a document in his hand, he walked quickly towards Xu Yuan, not forgetting to share his joy.

“Chief Xu.”

“The analysis report on the effect of the injection is out. We succeeded.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan temporarily controlled his emotions, reached out to take the document, then immediately lowered his eyes and read it carefully.

During this process, Wei Jinhua just stood quietly by and did not say anything to interrupt.

Almost five minutes later, Xu Yuan raised his eyes again, and the expression on his face was replaced by joy.

“Okay.”

“As we expected, after the injection, the original cancer cells are gradually transformed into normal cells.”

“Not only that, according to the test of cell activity, the normal human lifespan can be increased by at least ten years. This is a major breakthrough in genetic cell engineering.” Wei Jinhua couldn’t help but agree with Xu Yuan after hearing what he said.

In response, Xu Yuan nodded slightly with a smile.

Although this effect is lower than my expectations, it is rare to be able to achieve this level at the moment.

After coming to his senses, he immediately discussed with Wei Jinhua and reported the news.
