Chapter 400 Research Scholars
"You are not God, you are just a pure academician. I believe that what you just said to me was told by others." Zhao Li suddenly laughed at Professor Hans who was talking.
"So, you admit that what I said was correct, right?" Professor Hans laughed the same way, as if he had won in this game.
"Not whether your point of view is right or wrong, you can say what you haven't finished." Zhao Li is still very sure of Professor Hans' character. He is not a person who can say so many truths. I believe that during his research, someone will have instilled many of these words in him. With Professor Hans's research personality, he is unlikely to be able to argue with the other party: "Let me know what the people are trying to do?"
"It seems you know me very well." Professor Hans was a little surprised at what Zhao Li said suddenly. Zhao Li suddenly changed his position, which made him a little at a loss.
"Believe me, you are really just a pure researcher. It is not your intention to tell me these things." Zhao Li still kept that conclusion and refused to let go.
"Okay, let's continue." Professor Hans did not intend to discuss his own personality with Zhao Liyi's shortcomings and agreed to Zhao Li's request.
"First of all, human beings live in this world, and the first thing they need is to meet the needs of survival, which is the most basic." Professor Hans began to turn his fingers and tell Zhao Lishu about the views he was instilled with: "In addition to this, after meeting other spiritual needs, then longevity will also be a very urgent need."
"That's right." Zhao Li nodded in agreement. Who doesn't want to live longer? No one, including himself, likes short life. Although as a soldier, he ordered without hesitation, it's still good to live longer.
"Cultivation can meet some of the needs of longevity. However, this depends on the physical fitness and level of cultivation of each person. Those with high cultivation will have a relatively longer life span." Professor Hans also pointed out some disadvantages of cultivation: "For those with poor qualifications or low cultivation, they can get a longer life span through certain aspects of genetic modification."
"This requirement is not an exaggeration, or if this is used as the research object, I will not object." Zhao Li was still in line with Kang Hongyuan in this regard and was able to quickly accept the objections.
"In addition, for those with low cultivation, having some degree of strength is also a need." Professor Hans was very happy to see Zhao Li agree with his previous view and immediately continued: "In this regard, I believe you also know that genetic modification has more efficient and rapid solutions than practice in this regard, and after the transformation, it will not affect the continued practice. The two can complement each other."
"Attack everyone? Or only soldiers?" Zhao Li had his own considerations on this issue, so he asked so detailedly. Of course, this question also includes the meaning of asking Professor Hans about the current technological breakthrough level.
"For everyone." Professor Hans also quickly answered: "Depending on the different physical fitness of each person, there are differences. Students from the genius school can directly transform them into a level equivalent to the middle level of level 9, while ordinary people can only practice the most ordinary skills. People like Kang Hongyuan can also transform into a level 7 master through transformation."
"Is this their original level, or is it your credit?" Zhao Li frowned. This is indeed very touching. All ordinary people can have the strength of level seven. Strictly speaking, this transformation has indeed greatly enhanced the overall quality of human beings.
"What they are also called research? The Mongolian doctor who I don't know where I found was delusional to improve human attack power by integrating the dominant genes of other animals and plants, and to lose sight of the situation." Professor Hans looked disdainful of this question: "If it weren't for me, they were still competing with those monsters!"
"Actually, professor, you are different from them." After hearing this, Zhao Li didn't ask more questions later. Without asking, he knew that in fact, Professor Hans's philosophy is still different from them. Those people are just purely studying in the direction of weaponization, but Professor Hans is not in that direction at all.
"What's the difference? Isn't it that you still conduct these banned research?" Professor Hans was a little puzzled by Zhao Li's sudden change in attitude, and at the same time he looked a little out of trouble.
"You don't need to admit it." Zhao Li smiled and looked at Professor Hans's temper like a child, and shook his head: "Compared with them, you still have humanity."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Li immediately stopped Professor Hans' plan to refute: "You don't need to admit it, many places can be seen. First of all, you ask your transformation targets to be voluntarily, which is a hundred times better than the people in that organization. Secondly, you do not agree with their research direction. You just made this clear. Besides, you have saved me once, and if you are the same as those people, you will not let me live."
"It's just that you're giving your life to the Mountbatten tsunami." Professor Hans seemed a little depressed and retorted disapprovingly.
"No, it just means that you are grateful, this is a good virtue." Zhao Li praised Professor Hans without hesitation: "So, I'm just curious, why are you still mingling with them? Are you convinced by them?"
"It seems that I'm not going to decide this, right?" Professor Hans was a little amused and irritated by Zhao Li's last question: "You know, I'm just an old guy without legs, and after those people saved us, they didn't give me too many choices."
"Your words just made sense. In terms of treating certain diseases and improving invisible defects, I think genetic technology is not as evil as I imagined." After such in-depth exchanges with Professor Hans, Zhao Li's attitude towards genetic modification, especially in living genetic modification, also changed: "If you use this research direction to cooperate with the military, you may not be rejected. Why did you have to seek funds at that time?"
"My experiment has reached a critical moment, and when did the bureaucrats in the institute really care about my research?" Professor Hans seemed to remember the unhappiness before he was imprisoned, and his face was full of unhappiness: "If I don't find research funds myself, what else can I do?"
"You can use your preliminary research results to negotiate with any other interested institute or hospital or even the military. There is no need to do that illegal thing." Zhao Li was still a little sorry in his heart. Professor Hans was still too simple at the time. But it is no wonder that an obsessed researcher, to put it bluntly, is a nerd who would consider so much. Naturally, he uses the simplest method.
"Military? The military will only throw me into prison. On the contrary, those people gave me the research funds and equipment, and even they had a large amount of data on live tests that I would never get. Although I had some core technologies at the time, it is undeniable that those data did give me a lot of reference." Professor Hans' tone was so disappointed.
"Why do you live alone in that place?" Without talking about those unhappy things, Zhao Li turned to ask Professor Hans about his recent life.
"You know that I have a cooperative relationship with those people, but we still have a big difference in research directions." Professor Hans did not hide this and told me: "They have mastered key technologies through my several experiments, so they can leave me alone. They are just afraid that there will be some sudden problems that cannot be solved, so they keep me, arrange a legitimate identity for me, and live a luxurious life."
"Aren't they afraid of you contacting the outside world?" Zhao Li was a little curious.
"In fact, I am under house arrest." Professor Hans smiled bitterly: "In my residence, communication can only be in and out. If you want to exhale, you can only pass through their transit, you cannot access the Internet, you cannot go out. Even if you want to inquire about technical information, your people must do it for you."
"Then how did you let that painting appear in the Louvre?" Zhao Li was also curious about this.
"This is my lifelong wish, and I mentioned this to them when I first joined their research." Professor Hans was very happy when he said this: "A year ago, they also helped me realize this wish."
The process is probably too normal, so those people have no doubts. Zhao Li was a little puzzled by the outrageous price: "How did you convince them to mark that kind of sky-high price?"
"Because my requirement is to hang it there for as long as possible. If it is a non-selling item, it is impossible to receive that kind of treatment. If I don't want to sell it, it is naturally the more outrageous the price, the smaller the possible sale." Professor Hans was very proud of this.
"What if I forgot that time?" Zhao Li suddenly asked.
"It doesn't matter, it's better for you to forget, at least I can do my research calmly." Professor Hans didn't care at all. Hearing his tone, it seemed that he was not so happy to meet Zhao Li again.
"Do you think that if you fall into my hands, you can't continue to study?" Zhao Li immediately seized Professor Hans' slight psychological changes and asked quickly.
"What do you think?" Professor Hans didn't answer at all. There was indeed no need to answer this question.
"Professor, ask you a question, think carefully before answering me." Zhao Li knew the professor's concerns, but this also reflected that Professor Hans was simply a pure researcher in Zhao Li's words.
"What's the problem?" Professor Hans didn't care how serious Zhao Li asked the question.
"Is there any possibility of recovery for those who have been transformed on the Elf Planet?" This is what Zhao Li has always wanted to know, but in this regard, no one is more authoritative than Professor Hans. Only Professor Hans's answer can make Zhao Li completely believe it.
"People on the Elf Planet are relatively complicated." Professor Hans immediately became different as soon as he considered academic issues: "For the first generation of people who were transformed, there is still a great possibility of recovery. In theory, it is to reverse their transformation process and replace the modified part with their original genes. However..."
"But what?" Zhao Li was very concerned about this issue. As soon as the professor couldn't say it, his heart immediately sank.
"However, except for a few long-lived people, the first generation of transformed people have died. Now the living are basically the descendants of those people who reproduce, two or three or four generations. The situation of these people is very complicated and not that easy." Shaking his head, Professor Hans expressed the severity of the difficulties.
"Can you tell me in detail?" Zhao Li seemed to know how difficult it was.
"Not to mention the problem of gene mutation in the reproduction process, once a person starts to reproduce, then the genes of the offspring will have no original genes at all, and all substitute genes. Although it can still be replaced by human genes, whose genes can be used? It is not himself, nor the initial genes of his parents. What method do you plan to use? Use a unified gene to replace it, or draw lots to decide which person's gene to replace it? No matter what method you use, they are no longer the original self." Professor Hans briefly described the difficulties that need to be considered: "If you have to start from ethics, then they will never have the possibility of recovery. Because even if they recover, they are not their supposed self."
"But at least they can still recover to pure humans, right?" Zhao Li also understood the seriousness of this problem. Professor Hans did not talk about the problem of genetic mutation, that is, there must be problems, and that kind of problem must be more complicated.
"That's right, if you have to think this way, then you're not bad about saying this. After all, it's human genes that replace their original genes. In general, they can recover from adulthood." Professor Hans nodded and gave Zhao Li a positive answer.
"Professor, if, if someone sponsors you to conduct research in this area, would you like?" Zhao Li still asked Professor Hans in that serious tone.
"Sponsored me?" Professor Hans was obviously hit by this surprise: "You mean, can I continue my research?" Seeing Zhao Li nodding, Professor Hans immediately asked: "Do you know, how much money is needed to fund this kind of research?"
