Although Chen Xin gave a very patient and detailed explanation, neither the ethics review team nor the commissioners sent by the military were convinced by him.
After a rigorous investigation and review, the ethics investigation team only approved Chen Xin's application for genetic modification experiments on wolves, while rejecting and prohibiting research on human genes.
The military did not support Chen Xin in this matter. Although they were also very coveted by Chen Xin about the powerful combat effectiveness of the Space Marines, they did not choose to support Chen Xin's research on genetic modification in this matter. Instead, they persuaded him to He focused his energy on research projects such as mechas that were tangible and would not cause any adverse consequences.
The military even made it clear to Chen Xin directly that if Chen Xin wanted to build things like Titan, Gundam, Space Carrier, and Battle Fairy Xuefeng in the game, as long as Chen Xin could build it, the military would fully support it.
Obviously, since Chen Xin created exoskeletons and powered armors that were originally in science fiction works, the military has done a lot of research on the settings of some science fiction works and evaluated what Chen Xin can create. For It's a very tasty item for the military.
If it were before, Chen Xin might be very interested in this. After all, things like Gundam, Titan, and Space Carrier are also very tempting to him.
But now that Chen Xin was in a depressed mood, even after receiving explicit instructions from the military commissioner, he was still a little uninterested and just promised to try to make Titan in the future.
This matter has been settled at this point. Even if Chen Xin feels dissatisfied and depressed, he cannot force himself to conduct research in private.
In the final analysis, although he really wanted to do research and transformation in this area, he still had a bottom line. He would not do it secretly and privately without obtaining legal permission.
Although with Chen Xin's ability, even if he really researches secretly, there is nothing others can do to him. After all, when something happens, he may have made a real space warrior.
But even though he couldn't do the things, Chen Xin was still very depressed.
His depression does not come from others preventing him from doing genetic modification research, but from why these people are so resistant to genetic modification.
Whether it was the review team or the military commissioner, they prevented Chen Xin from conducting genetic modification research out of a responsible attitude towards the matter rather than personal perception, so Chen Xin would not have any objections to this.
However, during the review process, the uneasiness and resistance shown by these people towards genetic modification made Chen Xin feel that they were a little too conservative and old-fashioned.
In a depressed mood, Chen Xin certainly wanted to talk to someone, but Qin Lan and Mo Qingyan had expressed resistance to this matter before, so it was difficult for him to talk to them.
After thinking about it, Chen Xin found his father and talked to him about the matter, wanting to hear the advice of his elders.
After listening to his son's complaints, Chen Xin's father did not directly express his opinion on the matter of genetic modification. Instead, he asked Chen Xin: "How many years do you think your own technology is ahead of the current technology? You can do it better than everyone else." Are they all strong?"
"I have never done research in this area before, but if you give me the opportunity to start research, I am sure to be 50 to 100 years ahead of others! I can indeed be better than them all!" Chen Xin said in this matter He is full of confidence in everything, although this confidence comes more from the system that cannot be said.
However, after hearing Chen Xin's words, Chen Xin's father shook his head and advised Chen Xin: "You are such an old man, don't be so impatient in your work. Since you are better than everyone else, why not Wait for others, or simply give them a hand, and wait until everyone is on the same level before doing what you want to do?
As the old saying goes, the rafters that stand out will die first. If you are too strong alone, you will make everyone else look like a waste, which will put you under unnecessary pressure. If you are half a step ahead of others, you are a genius, but if you are one step ahead of others, you will be a genius. Even if you take more than ten steps, you can't even see the shadow of others, and everyone will be afraid of you. "
Chen Xin's father did not comment on whether the research Chen Xin wanted to do was good or bad. Instead, he persuaded his son from another angle not to behave beyond the cognition of ordinary people.
If he had said this a few years ago, Chen Xin might not have listened to it at all, thinking that keeping a low profile was just because he was not strong enough, or he might have thought that if I had the ability, why should I hide it? But now that he is in his early thirties, he has already After passing the age of youth and arrogance, he was still able to listen to his father's advice.
"Dad, you think I went too far, so they were afraid... no, should I say to prevent me from getting off?" Chen Xin thought about his father's words and suddenly changed his mind.
"A very dangerous thing, you ask two people to do it, and you know how capable one of them is. Although he is not very capable, at least you know what the consequences will be even if he fails to do it." Chen Xin's The father looked at his son with a look of relief in his eyes, and gave Chen Xin an example: "But although you know about the other person that he is very powerful and capable, you don't know how strong his ability is, and you don't know who he is. What will be the consequences if you do this badly?
At this time, would you rather trust the first person and let him do the work, or would you rather trust the second person and let him perform freely? "
Chen Xin's father's example made Chen Xin take a breath. He realized that he had been too hasty in certain things.
Everything that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Although this is not necessarily true, it has its own truth. You can be better than others, but being too good is undoubtedly a kind of oppression and threat to mediocre people.
Although most people will not have any bad thoughts because others are too good, everyone may have a certain degree of fear and defensiveness.
"I understand, Dad." Chen Xin nodded to his father. After understanding what his father wanted to tell him, Chen Xin felt much better.
After calming down, Chen Xin also began to reflect on himself. Some of his previous performances were indeed a bit too arrogant, or in a hurry.
In the past, whether it was exoskeletons, isotope thermoelectric batteries or geothermal power generation, these were still technologies that ordinary people could understand and accept, and the country was also researching technologies. Even controllable nuclear fusion reactors, although this has not yet been realized, at least The principles have been mastered and the technology is expected to be successful.
But genetic modification was too advanced and too sensitive. Chen Xin knew that he had the ability to control it, but others might not be able to understand this.
