The next day, the cafeteria.
Luo Yuan and Chen Xinjie sat opposite each other, silent for a long time. They hadn't seen each other for a while. She had obviously lost weight, and the hidden sadness could be vaguely seen in her eyebrows. Compared with the intellectual beauty with a sweet smile before, It's like a different person.
"I'm sorry..." After a long time, Luo Yuan broke the silence and said.
He also didn't expect that her mother would have passed away after only a few days of delay. This was so sudden that he was caught off guard. If he could have told her mother directly a few days in advance, or when they met at that time, With treatment, such tragic things will not happen!
"There's no need to apologize. I've been mentally prepared for this. It's all about fate!" Chen Xinjie turned her head away and said softly, her eyes slightly red.
There was a moment of silence!
At this time, it was lunch time. People were coming and going in the city hall cafeteria. There were people everywhere on the seats. However, this area was completely empty. Several nearby seats were empty. No one dared to take the initiative. near.
Feeling Ruoyouruowu's cryptic gaze nearby, Luo Yuan asked, "You'd better be transferred to my secretariat. I'm going to put Cheng Guanghui down and take charge of some practical things."
"That's not appropriate, Mayor. I'm living a good life now!" Chen Xinjie bit her lip, lowered her head and said, "You already know that everything I did before was for the above tasks, and it's no longer needed now."
"But everything has passed, we should look forward..." Luo Yuan said with emphasis.
"Mayor, I've finished eating, I'm leaving first!" Chen Xinjie covered up her bangs, picked up the dinner plate and left the table.
Seeing her fleeing figure, Luo Yuan opened his mouth, but finally just sighed. The relationship between the two was originally abnormal, just like a stained white cloth. It doesn't mean that it can return to its original state after cleaning.
…
Luo Yuan returned to the office and sat for a while. After approving more than a dozen documents, he became a little idle. Now that everything in Hope City is on track, he no longer needs to do everything by himself. With the completion of the heating system, , the continued expansion of vegetable and grain production, and the reopening of more and more civilian factories, people's lives have improved day by day.
Although it is still not as good as before, the problem of food and clothing is enough to satisfy.
The greatest contribution to this was the nuclear fusion furnace dismantled from the Bosnian aircraft. The endless energy it provided allowed mankind to survive tenaciously in this terrible winter.
Moreover, there are now more than one nuclear fusion reactors in Hope City. In order to ensure energy security and avoid emergencies, Luo Yuan also dismantled the nuclear fusion furnace of another aircraft floating in near space and placed it in Hope City as a backup energy source. , even if there is a problem with one of the fusion reactors, it will not affect the survival of mankind.
Luo Yuan tapped the table gently, closed his eyes and meditated. After a while, he picked up the intercom phone and called Cheng Guanghui, the secretariat:
"Inform the director of the Institute of Biology and ask him to come over!" After Luo Yuan finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Nowadays, most of the scientific researchers in Hope City have been sent to the spacecraft. The Institute of Biology is the only laboratory located on Earth. However, there are not many real scientific researchers in the Institute of Biology. Except for a few authoritative biological researchers, at most These are newly recruited laboratory operators. Firstly, they are used for talent reserve, and secondly, they are used for human cloning assembly line operations.
The number of human beings is too small now. It will be difficult to reproduce after the end of the world. The pregnancy rate is low. If we rely solely on natural reproduction, it will take at least thousands of years to restore the population in the reconstruction area before the disaster. As for restoring to the pre-apocalypse, there is no thousands of years. Even if it takes tens of thousands of years, don't even think about it. This is still the result of continuous strong administrative intervention.
Cloning is much simpler, and it is the only method that allows mankind to quickly restore civilization and rebuild its glory.
Unfortunately, both Hope City and the spaceship that will soon migrate are quite limited in the number of humans they can accommodate. For a long time, the number of humans can only be maintained at tens of millions at most, unless humans can be found in the universe. A new ecological planet, or when technology develops to a certain level, will have the ability to transform the planet.
However, the former has little hope, while the latter will take time.
…
After a while, the director of the Biological Research Institute opened the door with the help of his secretary and walked in.
This was a thin, short old man, about fifty or sixty years old. He hadn't had time to change his clothes. He obviously came over in a hurry as soon as he received the call.
Hope City's constant publicity about Luo Yuan's annihilation of aliens has made his image a myth and his majesty is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even though this senior scientific researcher has long been accustomed to seeing various leaders, when facing Luo Yuan, he still looked uneasy and nervous. He was speechless: "Mayor... Mayor, please call me."
"Sit!" Luo Yuan nodded and said.
He carefully closed the door and sat down on the sofa with a reserved look. This was the first time he saw the legendary mayor. Thinking of the research progress of the institute, he couldn't help but feel anxious and a little restless.
"How is the institute's research on human cloning technology going?" Luo Yuan asked.
"It will still take a while. There have always been some problems with the formula of amniotic fluid and a lot of experiments are needed." Seeing the mayor asking this question as expected, a trace of sweat broke out on his forehead!
The cloning factory in Hope City is not going well. After the disaster, this technology has developed faults. The amniotic fluid technology that simulates the uterus has not yet broken through, resulting in the cloning factory being shut down.
Human cloning often involves various moral and ethical issues. Even in the end of the world, human cloning is still a secret thing. There are only a few such laboratories in Xinjing. Even before, many biological research in Hope City personnel, have never heard of it, and now everything in the institute needs to start again.
Luo Yuan couldn't help but frown slightly after hearing this. Although he had done a lot of human cloning experiments, he had no understanding or concept of the most basic amniotic fluid technology. After all, at that time, who would care about these culture fluids? How is it synthesized
However, he is not impatient. After all, there is no absolute gap between Hope City's biotechnology and Xinjing's. The only difference is the finishing touch. What's more, there is more advanced genetic technology in the Bolin spacecraft. I believe that as time goes by and humans continue to discover Bolin technology, everything will be solved.
"So can the laboratory do plant cloning now?" Luo Yuan asked.
"Plant cloning?" the director said with some surprise, then reacted and quickly replied: "Mayor, compared to human cloning, plant cloning is relatively simple. If it is asexual reproduction, it is even simpler. With the technology of our laboratory ,should be no problem."
"Very good. Let's make relevant technical reserves first. After a while, I will come over to inspect it in person." Luo Yuan nodded and said.
The director of the institute was confused. Although he didn't know what the other party wanted to do, he still expressed his position on the spot and promised to complete this political task. Soon he left with a heavy step, and the office became quiet again.
Yes, this is a related arrangement made by Luo Yuan in order to produce wisdom.
However, compared to the slow and inefficient cloning, Luo Yuan hopes to directly synthesize various beneficial components of the Wisdom Heart, such as various polymer substances and proteins, and directly carry out industrial production. However, with the technology of today's Hope Market, this is simply impossible. It's unrealistic. Maybe it will be possible to do it after absorbing the technology of the Bo Xingren.
