"Haha …" Lu Jin smiled but didn't say anything. He looked like he was saying, "Do you think I'll believe you?"
Everyone in the room chuckled as well.
Did he think everyone was an idiot?
Lorraine was a little anxious. "Mr. Rolesder, you don't believe me?"
"It's not that I don't believe you, but I think there's no such thing as a 'perfect gene' because it goes against scientific common sense. In other words, in our current understanding of genetic science, there's no theoretical basis for the existence of a 'perfect gene'," Lu Jin said slowly and spread his hands at everyone.
Lu Jin said slowly and spread his hands at everyone. "I've invested the most in biopharmaceuticals over the years, so I can say that I know this industry very well, so I also know a little about the Rolle family's ancestral project. Of course, they have a lot of money, so they can burn it however they want. It's none of our business, so I've never said anything."
"But Mr. Lorraine wants to take money from us to support his family's experimental project. I'm sorry, I won't play with you."
"Mr. Rolesder, please listen to me!" When Lorraine heard that Rolesder had also invested in biopharmaceuticals, his arrogance immediately subsided. "I know this experiment sounds unbelievable, but it's not completely impossible!"
"You all know about the bacterial research that Japan did in Huaxia during World War II, right? In fact, they also have a secret research on biological genetics, which is very similar to our family's super human project. "
Lorraine gritted his teeth. He knew that he couldn't beat the wolf without sacrificing his own child. He still had to reveal some of the information they had to get everyone to invest.
He continued, "This information was exchanged by Japan with the United States after the end of World War II. Our Lorraine family happened to get a copy, and we shared this information with our laboratories all over the world. "
"Do you know the world-famous brain surgeon, Ms. Qin Yaoguang? She's the backbone of our laboratory in Huaxia. She proposed the concept of 'gene editing' and finally made a breakthrough in our plan. "
"But she's not the most powerful person. Our Huaxia laboratory once had a genius called Kevin Ku.
His Chinese name is Gu Xiangwen. He's the genius among geniuses! "
Lorraine was full of praise for Gu Xiangwen, his face full of admiration.
This was a little awkward.
The corners of Gu Nianzhi's mouth twitched, and she didn't know where to look.
Lu Yuan pursed his lips and laughed. He joked, "Your father doesn't even feel embarrassed. Why do you feel embarrassed?"
Gu Nianzhi glanced at the TV screen and saw that the "Von Rolsten" on the screen had an interested expression. She couldn't tell at all that he was the "Gu Xiangwen" that Lorraine was praising.
Lorraine said excitedly, "He and Madam Qin Yaoguang have both successfully 'gene-edited' fertilized eggs and allowed them to survive!"
Lu Jin blinked and asked curiously, "Gu Xiangwen? Who was this person? Is it famous? Why haven't I heard of it before? "
"… He was famous many years ago." Lorraine awkwardly wiped the sweat off his forehead. "After that, he committed a crime in China and was wanted. In the end, he was burned to death."
"Tsk tsk …" Mr. Bart shook his head regretfully. "Ordinary people are so ignorant. They always want to burn heresy to death. The true geniuses among us are the heretics in their eyes. Bruno, who propagated the heliocentric theory, and Prometheus, who obtained the Fire Seed for mankind, both had an indissoluble bond with fire. "
"May God bless him."
Bart crossed his chest.
Lu Jin pretended to say "Amen." Then he seemed to be a little more interested. He asked Lorraine, "Then what's with the DNA sample that you mentioned is very close to the 'perfect gene'? Where did you get it? Gu Xiangwen died many years ago. Does this' perfect gene 'DNA sample have anything to do with him? "
Lorraine shook her head regretfully and said, "Unfortunately, Gu Xiangwen's genius is not in biological genetics, but in high-energy physics."
"After the fertilized egg he edited grew up, it did not show the characteristics of the 'perfect gene'. In later research, it also did not show the qualities of a 'super human', so our experimenters determined that it had failed. "
Gu Xiangwen had only "gene-edited" Gu Nianzhi's DNA.
If Gu Xiangwen's experiment was considered a failure, then whose DNA sample was sent over?
Lu Jin's expression was a little strange. He had thought that the other party had sent over Gu Nianzhi's DNA sample …
Although he had destroyed all the information about Gu Nianzhi in Qin Yaoguang's laboratory back then, Gu Nianzhi had come into contact with Qin Yaoguang and the others many times now that she had returned to this world. They could perform a DNA analysis on any of her fallen hair.
Therefore, he had a preconceived notion that he could no longer hide this matter.
However, Lorraine's words made him doubt his analysis.
Lu Jin sat down with sparkling eyes. "If Gu Xiangwen's experiment failed in the end, then whose experiment succeeded?"
Lorraine smiled. "Of course it was Ms. Qin Yaoguang's experiment. The fertilized egg she edited has now grown up. In the laboratory's follow-up research, we found that her genes are the closest to the 'perfect gene' so far! "
"We even believe that the 'perfect gene' is like the infinity ∞ in mathematics. You can get infinitely close to it, but you will never be able to reach it. Therefore, I believe that the DNA sample we have this time is the closest humans have to the 'perfect gene'."
"As long as our scientists succeed in verifying it, then our 'super human' project will enter the real practical stage! It's like a new drug that has already entered the third phase of clinical practice! "
For a pharmaceutical company, entering the third phase of clinical trials meant that the drug would only need to be approved from the trial to the market.
"So, are you still going to wait and see?" Lorraine looked at the people in the room with a smile. "This is the last chance for you to keep up with the latest developments in technology. If you miss today, you'll miss tomorrow! "
Bart and Bitz looked at each other and were a little tempted.
They knew better than anyone how profitable pioneers were in the technology market.
Everyone was competing on speed. They were competing on who could develop faster, have a better eye, and be more effective.
Lu Jin had wanted to stop these people from continuing to invest, but he realized that this so-called "perfect gene" sample actually had nothing to do with Gu Nianzhi, so he didn't plan to interfere.
It was obvious that the DNA sample that Lorraine was talking about was the only successful fertilized egg of Qin Yaoguang — Wen Shouyi, right?
Lu Jin didn't say anything. Huo Shaoheng didn't understand.
He glanced at Lu Jin, walked over, and bent down to whisper something in his ear.
Lu Jin nodded and said to the people in the room, "I have a call to answer. Excuse me."
"Go ahead." Lorraine saw that she had said enough, so she was no longer nervous. She smiled and gestured for someone to open the door and let Mr. Rolesder and his bodyguard out.
When they arrived at the corridor outside, Lu Jin entered a small room next to him that was specially used to make phone calls. Huo Shaoheng stood guard at the door.
He turned on the electromagnetic shielding signal and then spoke to Lu Jin through his Bluetooth headset.
That way, he wouldn't be afraid of being eavesdropped.
"… Why didn't you stop them?"
Lu Jin held his phone in the room and looked at the charming Manhattan skyline outside the window. He smiled and said, "… The sample they said has nothing to do with Gu Xiangwen, so it's definitely not Nianzhi. Why should I care?"
"But don't forget, in the eyes of outsiders, Nianzhi is Qin Yaoguang's successful test subject. They don't know your role in the middle."
"Even the He family used to only think of Qin Yaoguang as He Zhichu's savior."
"And not many people knew about Wen Shouyi's existence back then. Probably only you, Wen Dayou, and Qin Yaoguang knew. Perhaps Qin Baye knew too."
If it weren't for the recent lawsuit, no one would have known that Wen Shouyi was actually the product of Qin Yaoguang's "gene editing".
Huo Shaoheng patiently persuaded Lu Jin, "So you can't just stand by and do nothing. I suspect that the DNA sample they sent is actually Nianzhi's."
Lu Jin's expression turned ugly. "… Then why did they say it was the DNA sample closest to the 'perfect gene'?! If it's Nianzhi's DNA sample, then it can't be said to be the 'closest' at all, because it's basically the 'perfect gene'! "
Huo Shaoheng said without a change in expression, "I'm not sure either, so I think we can't let our guard down. It's best if we can intercept the DNA sample they sent and check whose gene it is first."
Lu Jin quickly nodded. "Okay, I'll go and ask him where the sample is right away. We have to check it before they do!"
"Lorraine just said that she'll arrive in New York tonight." Huo Shaoheng looked at his watch. "We don't have much time. We can't let them land in New York tonight. Do you have a way?"
Lu Jin chuckled. "Of course. When I find out the flight number, I'll make sure that plane can't land in New York tonight! "
Huo Shaoheng immediately said, "Just let the plane land at the nearby New Jersey airport. I'll rush over right now and swap their DNA samples before they enter customs."
"New Jersey airport? It's not far … "Lu Jin asked doubtfully," Can you make it in time? "
"I can. You're in charge of landing the plane at New Jersey airport. I'll leave first," Huo Shaoheng said as he walked towards the elevator.
Lu Jin came out of the small room and searched for a few times on his phone. He returned to the small conference room and sat back in his seat.
At that moment, Lorraine was giving an impassioned speech. "Gentlemen, I have another problem that I need your help with!"
"Our genius scientist, Ms. Qin Yaoguang, has made such an unprecedented achievement, but because of a small disagreement, she was sent to court by her adopted daughter and is now facing prison. I hope that everyone here can use their influence and work with the Lorraine family to pressure the Huaxia Empire government to release Ms. Qin Yaoguang! Bring her to the United States! "
