Chapter 540: Unbearable Side Effects

What is the remaining two-thirds?

Yu Dazhang wanted to ask, but dared not, so he froze instantly.

Ying Xuelian seemed very satisfied with his expression and said with a smile:

"I can follow your lead in speaking, so it won't count as me leaking secrets. Once we leave this room, neither of us should ever mention today's conversation."

Yu Dazhang nodded slightly, then stared straight at her.

"The general direction is right; the core content is indeed genes."

Ying Xuelian stopped smiling and said with a Heavy, solemn expression:

"But it is not the pathogenic bacteria or viruses you imagine; your mind is too dark, and you think people are too bad."

"The core of the project is to combine genetic engineering technology and genetic engineering to achieve the goal of gene recombination."

Speaking here, her tone obviously became much more relaxed:

"If the project development succeeds, human body functions will be greatly improved, and even many incurable diseases can be cured."

However, she shifted her topic, and her tone became serious again.

"The reason I say you guessed one-third correctly is that this project itself indeed carries the risk of gene mutation."

Finally, Ying Xuelian, not knowing what she thought of, couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"You are quite funny; whether there are weeds on the mountains around has nothing to do with this project at all; you really can make blind connections."

"Hot weapons, nuclear weapons, gene weapons... I advise you to read fewer novels; your mind is full of unrealistic things. Don't tell others later that I taught you."

The more she spoke, the funnier she found it, and her eyes squinted into crescent moons:

"Physical attacks, magic attacks... it's a shame you could say such things. If I let you guess any further, I suppose Sun Wukong would be fighting Harry Potter."

Your mouth is quite sharp... Yu Dazhang's face turned red from what she said.

There's no need to insult people like this just because I guessed wrong.

I am an amateur myself; being able to think this far is already quite good.

That doesn't sound right.

Yu Dazhang still felt there were logical inconsistencies.

"Since the general direction of the scientific research project is not related to weapons, why is the security clearance so high?"

He did not ask this question randomly.

Nowadays, many research institutes in various places are open to the public, and some even hang signs directly saying "XX Research Institute."

Even those military agencies are the same.

"Because project data was leaked once before."

When Ying Xuelian said this, she instinctively lowered her voice a few degrees:

"When I first joined this project, the research team was still conducting experiments in a publicly open research institute."

"One night, a group of people broke into the institute and took away all the experimental data and some important materials."

Her tone became Heavy, solemn:

"At that time, the project had already taken shape; although what they took was basic data, it was also very complete."

"Later, the National Security Bureau intervened, investigated internal personnel, and exposed a deputy researcher. Shortly after that, we moved to Institute 53."

Leader Li never told me about these things... Yu Dazhang didn't expect the research team had already been robbed once.

It was precisely because of that data leak that the security clearance was raised to Top Secret level.

It's just mending the pen after the sheep are lost.

I guess the military didn't take this scientific research project too seriously at the beginning; otherwise, they wouldn't have given the other party a chance.

Or they thought no one in the country would dare to target the research institute.

They really had enough guts.

Yu Dazhang could tell that those people and Ying Xuelian's group were not the same faction.

The educational foundation controlling Ying Xuelian randomly steals state secrets.

They focus their investment on talent cultivation, then use these talents to infiltrate various research teams to obtain more secret information.

This is a long-term plan, and the targets are also random.

But that group went straight for the project data; their purpose was very strong.
