Chapter 921: The Difficulties from Theory to Reality

“Ah? We have to do homework now?”

As soon as the complaining voice fell, Mo Jingchun turned his head to look over. In an instant, Candy’s voice became as soft as a mosquito, and she wore a face full of apologetic smiles.

“Yes, write it now.”

Candy figured it out, if she dared to say no to doing homework just now, her brother would definitely make her take Wenjing and Wenru, those two little rascals, out to play.

Dear heavens, taking care of kids is nowhere as easy as doing homework.

At most, doing homework just requires a bit of thinking, but taking care of kids, that’s a whole different story, a total brain-drainer.

In the following time, while Candy was doing her homework, she would occasionally steal a glance at her brother. When she discovered that he was completely absorbed in his experiment and had no time to watch her, Candy became more daring, her homework lacking seriousness, as she curiously looked at her brother playing with some unknown green liquid.

Perhaps she was too engrossed in watching that Candy didn’t notice when Mo Jingchun had taken off his gloves and was quietly watching her.

“What are you doing?”

“Ah?” Candy was startled greatly.

Mo Jingchun raised an eyebrow, stretched out his hand, and said, “Where’s your homework? Let me have a look.”

Seeing the math homework with only one page written, Mo Jingchun glanced at Candy, who was fiddling with her hands and looking down like a student who had done something wrong.

“So… you spent almost two hours and only wrote this little bit of homework?”

“Mmm~” Candy replied in a small voice.

“Can you understand the experiment I’m doing?”

“No, but I think it’s very similar to playing with mud when we were kids.”

That earnest look made Mo Jingchun speechless, mud play, seriously?

This is biotechnology, a human gene optimization project that has baffled human civilization for a long time without significant breakthroughs. How could this be the same as playing with mud? It definitely can’t be!

Sighing, Mo Jingchun said nothing further.

It’s just as well she doesn’t understand, lest Candy inadvertently divulges the experimental project and its content.

If humanity is merely resistant to artificial intelligence, then for genetic engineering, most people are utterly apprehensive.

Unless one is plagued by a terminal illness, necessitating such measures, hardly anyone is willing to accept gene therapy.

The consequence of gene collapse is death.

Ordinary people might not understand the concept of gene collapse, but if you tell them that intense nuclear radiation could cause gene failure, they would definitely grasp the severity of gene collapse’s consequences.

It’s beyond tragic.

A month later, autumn gave way to winter, and the southern lands were graced with the first snow of the year.

The snow fell heavily. Wrapped in a down jacket with hands snugged inside its pockets, Mo Jingchun stood outside, embracing the fluffy snowflakes, his face etched with worry.

In a month’s time, he followed the steps and theoretically perfected the replication of the Gene Optimization Liquid from the data. Once injected into the human body, the person would become stronger and healthier over time, with common viral infections no longer easily breaching the body’s three major immune systems.

It’s termed ‘theoretically’ because all of this stems from computer-simulated results. Whether the actual injection of the X-Human Gene Optimization Liquid results in the expected outcome or what reactions may occur, Mo Jingchun himself did not know.

Because there was no test subject.

The X-Gene Optimization Liquid, designed specifically for humans, is unsuitable for other species. Even primates like monkeys are excluded.

The consequence of a cross-species injection, unsurprisingly, could result in gene collapse within the body.

As for human, umm, experimental subjects, Mo Jingchun dared not inject himself directly; besides, he had no proper reason to do so.

Thus, Mo Jingchun found himself troubled. Standing in the snowy field, watching the endless snowflakes, his eyes showed a faint sorrow.

Behind Mo Jingchun, others weren’t sure whether to use umbrellas or not, the only one indifferent was Zero, leisurely holding a small floral umbrella.

What is troubling the boss, how could Zero not know?

But the current predicament, she couldn’t solve it either.

The only way out was to seek help from above. But to start directly with human experimentation…

After a long time, a layer of snow had already settled on Mo Jingchun’s head.

Youth with worry turns gray.

“Sigh~~~”

“Let’s go back to the office.”

Meanwhile, inside the office building, many employees who were sneaking peeks through the windows saw the boss turning around and immediately backed away from the windows.

No one understood why the boss was standing outside getting snowed on for over half an hour.

Li Xuanyu was also watching, but unlike the others, her eyes were filled with more compassion.

She knew Mo Jingchun was troubled by the experiment’s progress, but she couldn’t do much to help.

Returning from outside to the office, the warm air-conditioning prompted Mo Jingchun to take off his down jacket.

Rubbing his wet hair, Mo Jingchun frowned, then got up and went into the bedroom.

After a while, Mo Jingchun emerged looking dry and refreshed. Sitting at her workstation, Xia Xiaomin couldn’t help but glance up at the boss several times.

Mo Jingchun had no mood to address Xia Xiaomin’s little actions, instead, he walked directly to Zero, who was sitting there quietly like a good child, and said in a very calm tone:

“I haven’t seen Qin Yuzhu in a long time. Send her a formal email and say I miss her even though it’s been so long.”

Upon hearing this, Zero looked up at the boss’s calm expression and nodded, realizing that the boss was preparing to beg for a favor.

But with starting directly with human experimentation, who knows what those above would think?

Support or oppose? Who knows?

“Boss, the email has been successfully sent.”

Mo Jingchun nodded, then sat silently on the sofa.

Sleeping on the sofa, Baozi woke slightly at the sensation of the ground shaking, glanced at Mo Jingchun, then comfortably went back to sleep.

Except for eating and those troublesome little ones, nothing could disturb its nap.

Mo Jingchun wasn’t too concerned about Baozi’s behavior; compared to humans, Baozi was already considered old, living one more year was a year gained.

If it doesn’t want to move, then it won’t.

Compared to three years ago, Qin Yuzhu had already been ‘promoted and given a raise,’ but one job duty stayed with her position, which was to maintain the communication and connection between Candy Technology and those above.

Receiving the email, a formal one, and during her free time, Qin Yuzhu opened it immediately to read its content.

What stunned Qin Yuzhu was that the formal email contained informal content.

This amused Qin Yuzhu quite a bit. But after years of interaction, she understood that Mo Jingchun had something he needed help with from above.

Other than that, Qin Yuzhu couldn’t think of why Mo Jingchun would want to meet her without any particular reason.

Looking at the reflection on the phone, Qin Yuzhu saw her aged face and couldn’t help but sigh.
