786: Ethical drama

The high-level project team of the Special New Human Project was all extremely excited.

They surrounded Chief Engineer Ren at the laboratory entrance, leaving even his accompanying personnel outside the door.

Everyone spoke at once, vying to express their extreme joy to Ren Yi.

Seeing this, Professor Ai quickly spoke up.

"Everyone, stop for a moment. If you have something to say, let's go to the conference room inside!"

"Squeezing Chief Engineer Ren at the door, what kind of decorum is that!"

......

In the conference room inside the laboratory,

everyone took their seats.

Professor Ai looked at Ren Yi, who was in the main seat, and was the first to smile.

"Ren Yi, we have not failed!"

"Now, in just three days at the fastest, our first generation gene supplement will be officially released!"

"It's all thanks to the two new… uh… main forces you sent!"

"Without their pure blood gene map, we would only be fumbling our way through with incomplete maps from others, and it would take at least half a year to reach the current research progress!"

"Perhaps even longer!"

Ren Yi replied with a smile.

"It wouldn't take that long!"

"When the time comes, I will act."

As soon as he said this,

everyone thought Ren Yi was joking with them and burst into laughter.

"Chief Engineer Ren, you're so humorous, hahahaha..."

In the main seat,

Ren Yi smiled without speaking.

Pure East Asian bloodline?

You should know, this is a one-in-ten-thousand probability.

Li Ming's genetic map,

encompasses all East Asian gene nodes currently recorded in the gene bank.

As for Ren Yi's genetic map,

it encompasses even all unrecorded East Asian gene nodes!

"Ren Yi."

After everyone had laughed,

Professor Ai, full of curiosity, couldn't help but ask.

"I really want to know!"

"How on earth did you find these two people with such miraculous genes?"

"Our country has a population of 1.4 billion; finding two such god-like individuals nationwide is like searching for a needle in a haystack!"

Upon hearing this,

recalling the ins and outs of the great epidemic's outbreak,

Ren Yi shook his head and said.

"To be honest, I was also somewhat surprised."

"The most crucial factor was this sudden virus."

"Everyone now knows that the virus causing the epidemic outbreak shows an extremely high correlation with the East Asian gene pool."

"This means that the purer the East Asian bloodline in the body, the higher the viral load, and the more rapid and severe the final illness."

"Therefore, Grandpa Li and his grandson became critically ill patients in a very short period and were urgently sent here for treatment..."

After listening to Ren Yi's explanation,

everyone suddenly understood:

"So that's how it is, it's so convoluted!"

Ren Yi paused, then

continued to speak.

"Regarding why the Li family possesses such a pure East Asian bloodline, I have already sent people to investigate."

"According to the investigation, Grandpa Li's ancestors should be related to the imperial bloodline left behind from the Tang Dynasty."

"Ah?"

The research personnel were immediately somewhat taken aback.

In the 21st century,

talking about bloodline theory with materialist Scientists, especially biologists who study genes,

is pure nonsense.

But now that it had truly happened,

everyone had no choice but to believe it.

"The Li surname... Imperial bloodline..."

Professor Ai shook his head and sighed:

"It is indeed somewhat unbelievable..."

Shi Gongyi, who had a full acceptance of biodiversity,

was not surprised.

"Jinghai City's predecessor was a fiefdom of a Tang Dynasty prince, so it's normal for ancient imperial bloodlines to be passed down."

"And it just so happened to coincide with the virus outbreak; one can only say that everything was destined in the dark!"

Listening to Professor Ai's words,

the President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences beside him frowned slightly.

"Old Ai, this is not some divine arrangement!"

"A new type of virus that highly matches the East Asian gene pool, do you think this is a natural disaster?"

"This is clearly a man-made disaster!"

"Hmph!"

"On Earth, besides a certain power, I really can't think of anyone else who would do such a heinous thing!"

The President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences looked at Professor Ai,

but did not respond.

Without conclusive evidence,

he was unwilling to believe such a conspiracy theory.

At this moment,

a certain Academician of Medicine, after listening to Ren Yi's introduction,

asked thoughtfully.

"Chief Engineer Ren, the Li family has imperial bloodlines left from the Han Dynasty..."

"What about the other members of their family? They should also have the same bloodline, right?"

"Can we recruit them into our New Human Project as well?"

Upon hearing this,

Ren Yi's face showed embarrassment,

and it was a long while before he spoke.

"Emmmm... The others are not quite suitable."

That Academician was full of surprise.

"Not suitable, what does that mean?"

Ren Yi did not reply.

Being asked by Tu Shuangyou like this,

Ren Yi recalled the utterly absurd verification process from two days ago,

and his head began to ache again.

Three days ago,

after learning that the Li family had a special bloodline,

Ren Yi immediately sent three investigators to the Li family.

As a result of this investigation,

a super dramatic event occurred...

Firstly,

the first dramatic thing was,

Li Ming's father's DNA did not match Grandpa Li's DNA!

Watching the live video,

Grandma Li's evasive and irrelevant answers,

directly rendered Ren Yi silent...

He observed a three-minute moment of silence for Grandpa Li on the spot!

Secondly,

the second dramatic thing was,

Li Ming's DNA also did not match his father's DNA...

Whose son was Li Ming then?

Why could Li Ming have such a pure East Asian bloodline?

This utterly absurd and complex situation,

made Ren Yi's CPU smoke again...

Finally,

the third dramatic thing was,

Li Ming's DNA could actually match Grandpa Li's DNA!...

Regarding this situation,

Ren Yi and the investigators simply couldn't figure it out.

This was truly an ethical drama...

Could it be that Grandpa Li was disrespectful to public morals, and with his daughter-in-law...?

For this reason,

the investigators brought in a veteran detective to meticulously unravel the mystery,

and after finding Li Ming's second uncle on the second day,

the truth finally came out.

Watching the live video,

Li Ming's uncle and mother both looking awkward,

Ren Yi was completely speechless...

This was truly what was said in the legends,

nothing tastes better than dumplings?

Soon,

after Li Ming's uncle's DNA test results came out,

it indeed belonged to a pure East Asian bloodline.

It was denser than Grandpa Li's,

but thinner than Li Ming's.

But for such a malicious person who dared to make his own brother wear a green hat,

Ren Yi really didn't want to use him!

No... it's not even his real brother...

This kind of grand family ethics drama, comparable to Thunderstorm,

gave Ren Yi a headache.

After deep thought, he finally decided,

to wait until the New Human Project was over to tell Grandpa Li and Li Ming the truth,

and let them handle it themselves!

After a long while,

seeing that the Academician of Medicine was still staring intently at him,

Ren Yi said helplessly.

"It's a long story, I won't waste everyone's time!"

"Besides, isn't having Li Ming enough?"

"He's young, give him more good food to supplement him, draw more blood, no matter how much you torment him, there's no fear!"

At this point,

without waiting for others to speak,

Ren Yi directly changed the subject.

"Everyone!"

"My time is limited, let's all make the most of it!"

"Report the latest progress of the projects you are responsible for, as well as specific difficulties and technical challenges, and I will answer your questions one by one!"

Ren Yi's words

immediately invigorated everyone.

"Me, I'll ask first!"

"Chief Engineer Ren, I am responsible for screening gene molecular marker sets, and the biggest technical problem I am currently facing is that during the secondary screening process, 2 or 4 molecular markers are always misordered..."

Upon hearing this, Ren Yi smiled wryly and replied directly:

"This problem is simple; gene chains are paired, but in some specific base pair molecular nodes, there will be symmetrical opposite ordering. You only need to..."

After listening to Ren Yi's answer,

the senior expert who asked the question immediately had a sudden realization.

"Holy cow! I was truly lost in the details; I didn't expect the solution to be so easy. I'm really too stupid..."

"Next, it's my turn, I have a question!..."

"......"
