In the deep mountains more than two thousand kilometers southwest of the capital, there is a place that is unknown and does not exist on any map navigation software.
This place is located in an extremely deep underground fortification. It was originally a defense fortification left during World War II. Later, at the suggestion of an expert, it was not abandoned and buried, but was excavated and transformed.
The country was very difficult at that time, and it was difficult to support the operation of this huge facility just by relying on the human, material, and financial resources at that time. Fortunately, people's ideas at that time were relatively simple, and the advancement of science and technology had not yet entered the electronic realm. information stage.
Even so, this underground castle still represents the most cutting-edge technological strength of the entire country.
There are only a few people in the country who have the right to know that this place exists.
But even if you know the existence of this place, you may not know what this place is doing.
There are no more than 20 people in the country who can truly have access to the internal information and secrets of this facility.
They called this place "Three Houses".
There are three schools, and naturally there are one and two schools.
Within ten years, one company almost single-handedly shocked the world, successfully helping to detonate New China's first two nuclear bombs through research and calculations.
The full name of the institute is the Institute of Nuclear Physics.
The second institute is as famous as the first institute. It was formerly the Fifth Research Institute of the Ministry of National Defense, and later became independent and became the Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology.
Whether it is nuclear bombs or artificial satellites, they all play a decisive role in the country's scientific and technological development, and of course they cannot do without the cooperation of cutting-edge talents in various special disciplines.
It is very strange that most people in the world know about the first institute and the second institute, but they know very little about this extremely mysterious third institute.
Since its establishment, this institute has never done anything shocking in the world. Not only that, the state's investment in the three institutes has not been much.
There are not many here compared to the one and two institutes. In fact, for the country in this era, the investment in this institute can be regarded as "pouring all the efforts."
In fact, what these three institutes do is actually far more important than the first and second institutes in a certain sense.
If the first and second institutes are dealing with radioactive substances and machinery on the periodic table of elements, then the research direction of the third institute is more towards the microscopic level.
Biology is studied here.
To be precise, it is the study of genetics.
Due to ethical issues and some unspeakable reasons, even if the research results here are successful, they cannot be made public.
But in fact, these are not news in the world. It’s just that in this era, the news is relatively closed, and all countries in the world are tight-lipped about this matter, so almost all powerful countries are doing this matter silently, but they are not aware of it. known.
In fact, whether it is the special warrior team of country m, the kamikaze team of country r, or the special service team of country d, these "gene warriors" are present.
It's just that these studies were relatively shallow at the time, but they were enough to cause heavy losses to opponents in the war.
The people of our country have been educated by the teachings of Confucius and Mencius. They act in moderation and make plans. They are not like those countries who studied for a long time just to give their own country
Plus a few super soldiers.
Compared with physical perfection, these dedicated scientists are more focused on cultivating a kind of "superhuman" with outstanding intelligence.
After nearly thirty years of hard work and the unremitting efforts of two generations of biologists, the first batch of genetically modified experimental subjects will finally be born here.
Area G of the lower fortress, as the core cultivation area, represents the storage place for all scientific research results of the other six areas.
Six huge glass jars are placed in the center. Each jar contains a full-term baby. Their umbilical cord is like a white earthworm, seeming to absorb nutrients from the surrounding liquid.
In fact, the entire G Area is in darkness all year round, but the person standing in front of the jar is extremely familiar with this place. Now, even with his eyes closed, he can find anything he wants in the G Area.
If you want to enter Area G, you need to pass through the two-layer isolation door from the central trunk road. In addition to allowing the scientists coming here to put on heavy sterile clothing and night vision equipment, the two-layer isolation door plays a more important role. Isolate the internal and external environment.
Zone G is hotter than the outside. It needs to maintain a temperature of about 37 degrees and a humidity of about 65 degrees all year round. This makes every time you wear heavy sterile clothing and enter here, it feels like walking into the Amazon jungle wearing a cotton jacket. This kind of test is not something that half of the people can bear.
However, this scientist didn't care. His eyes behind the night vision device were full of ardent hope. He had entered this place countless times over the years, just to see with his own eyes that his research results would eventually turn from paper into reality. .
He poured countless hopes into these six children, and the data of each child was planted deeply in his mind.
In fact, there were originally more than 6 babies in Area G. Most of them died in the embryonic stage, and these children were not the first subjects of the experiment. Unfortunately, all previous experiments failed.
Examples like Captain America or the Hulk who suddenly become super soldiers through acquired genetic changes. Whether they are fighting for their inner beliefs or national honor, they can effectively circumvent ethical dilemmas, but they are not controllable. Think about these Once super humans are out of control, or have their self-belief shaken, or even develop anti-human thoughts, it will be a disaster for the entire world.
The scientist's name is Lin Shang, which is actually a very elegant name. He has been reading poetry and books since he was a child. Later, he became obsessed with biotechnology research in country D. Finally, he returned to the embrace of the motherland and devoted himself to genetic engineering. He has been engaged in genetic engineering for more than three years now. Ten years.
There are many colleagues like him here, and he can be said to be an elder member of the three institutes. At nearly sixty years old, he now has many disciples, but no one knows that he has been carrying out this secret and great undertaking. .
"The fetal heartbeat is 95 beats/minute, and the oxygen is sufficient. It is considered that the external oxygen concentration has weakened after birth, or there may be a risk of hypoxia."
"The concentration of artificial amniotic fluid is normal, but urea and creatinine are slightly higher than normal. Consider adding other mineral salts to dilute it as appropriate."
"The fetus' physiological development is normal, there are no special stereotyped movements or abnormal behaviors in its movements, and there are no abnormal discharges in the brain. It is judged that the neurological development is complete, and there are no intellectual or mental defects."
A slightly deep voice sounded, as if Lin Shang was reading a physical examination report.
After saying this
He sighed slightly relaxedly, and then said: "The embryo has been fertilized for 270 days and is already 40 weeks old, which meets the conditions for birth. But from my selfish point of view, these children should be completely born in about ten days, but May they all be born smoothly and grow up healthily.”
"Thirty years of research have finally come to this day. I thought I was used to failure, but I can't help but be excited. Sure enough, this is my life's obsession. When I think of this, I feel filled with emotion."
"So be it."
He reached out his hand and turned off the recording equipment beside him, and recorded his observations and thoughts today forever.
Lin Shang was already sweating profusely when he walked out of the G area and took off his heavy sterile clothes.
As if knowing that the environment in Area G was not easy to live with, the designer of this building specially designed a simple bathhouse outside the gate of Area G. Lin Shang walked in, washed away all the fatigue, put on his own clothes, and faced the wall. Going up to the mirror, a smile appeared on the wrinkled face.
His face looks much older than his actual age, especially because there are not many hairs left. This is due to the fact that he has been immersed in paper these years and has no energy to arrange his after-school life. However, this smile of relief seems to It means that all the efforts he has made over the years are worth it.
He occasionally plays table tennis with his colleagues in the activity room, and spends most of his time studying the latest advances in genetic engineering in the world, either reading journals or papers, and reading newspapers during meal time. It is already a great leisure and relaxation.
Looking at today's People's Daily in the restaurant, Lin Shang's face showed a happy smile again when he learned the news that the four people had been sentenced.
Just like a child.
Everything is developing in a good direction.
He thought silently.
In the next few days, he, the "chief engineer" of the Third Institute, seemed to become the most idle person in the entire Third Institute.
While everyone was eagerly anticipating the victory, he, a hero who took the most credit, seemed as if these things had nothing to do with him, and instead had more time to participate in cultural and sports activities.
However, just like Tathagata Buddha always set up eighty-one difficulties on his way to seek scriptures, the bumps on the road are not affected by human will.
On the seventh day after he gave the slightly balanced order of artificial amniotic fluid to other subordinates, the accident happened.
Unpredictable changes occurred in the culture tanks of three babies.
The bodies of the three babies all suffered varying degrees of deformation, which is almost impossible to happen to humans who are already full-term and about to give birth.
The instantaneous changes in the data monitored by the instrument made all researchers wonder at that moment whether the machine was malfunctioning.
This also directly caused everyone's reaction to be a few minutes slower.
It was during these few minutes that the three babies, who were normally waiting to be born, exploded into a ball of blood mist in the culture tank!
No one had experience with this kind of thing. Even Lin Shang was experiencing this for the first time. When he heard the news, he was shocked. At the same time, he thought of the situation of the other three babies and hurried to the monitoring room, but it was still a little too late. .
The heart rate, which was originally maintained at 95 beats/minute, had soared to 115 at this time!
