"Mr. Zhang, can I ask a question?" Suddenly, an elderly man wearing a dirty white coat with a dull expression spoke.
Zhang Heng nodded, "Mr. Thompson, your reputation in biomedicine is well-known among me. Please tell me."
This old man named Thompson is a well-known person in the field of biology who was hired by Zhu Fugui with a lot of money. Unlike other technicians who are half-full of water, he can be regarded as a real scientist and the only scientific researcher in the entire company who can do anything. .
"Can you tell me what kind of research the new project is about, and whether there is a mature research plan?" Thompson asked calmly.
"I can only tell you that the new project is related to biological cloning." Zhang Heng thought for a while before replying, "And the new project has a complete research plan and a mature and feasible solution. It can be said that it will definitely A successful project, and not just you, I will also hire more scientists of your caliber to work on this project with a high salary in the near future.”
"Okay, I understand." Thompson nodded and silently put away the shock in his eyes. He really didn't expect that the company's new project would be related to biological cloning. No wonder it required such a huge investment.
In fact, cloning technology is almost equivalent to a bottomless pit. No matter how much money you have, it is not enough to spend. No wonder you need to sign a confidentiality agreement. How can a small company worth tens of millions afford this kind of project
In fact, there are no more than a thousand companies in the world that can afford this project. The ones that really make a difference are often national institutions such as research institutes.
Putting away the greed in their hearts, everyone fell into thinking. There was no need for Zhang Heng to deceive them in this regard, so the choice was very important.
On the one hand, it is to maintain the status quo and have freedom, but to remain ordinary.
On the other hand, if you participate in the company's new project, your family will have to move, but you will have a lot of research funds and huge opportunities. Everyone is a little unsure whether to maintain the same life or challenge new opportunities...
In the end, only three out of a dozen scientific researchers expressed their willingness to join the new project research team.
Among them was Thompson, and Smith, who clamored for human rights and the law, originally wanted to join, but he never dared to speak under Zhang Heng's cold eyes.
The reason why there were only three people was that everyone had noticed Zhang Heng's hint.
In fact, what Zhang Heng said to Smith was not just a threat, but also a hint to everyone - Stellar Technology is not an ordinary private company. If you don't want to get into too deep, then don't join a new project. Otherwise, once you betray, you will suffer unbearable consequences!
This type of allegedly high-tech industry itself has many gray areas. These researchers may not be very good in academic terms, but in other aspects they are just like human beings. As soon as Zhang Heng hinted, everyone understood.
This project seems to have many benefits, but it is by no means easy to join.
Therefore, the last three people who joined either needed a lot of money or had a strong interest in cloning research and were very courageous. Among them, the white-bearded old man Thompson undoubtedly belonged to the second category.
In addition to Thompson, there are two Asian men among these three people. One of them is Japanese, named Minamino Shuichi, and the other is also Chinese, named Zhao Qing. Both of them are under the age of thirty. Perhaps It is precisely because young people dare to fight and fight that they dare to join this plan.
After everyone dispersed, Zhang Heng took the three of them to the company's laboratory in Qiao Biomedical Park. In the laboratory, Zhang Heng took out three prepared confidentiality agreements and asked the three to sign them before exchanging pleasantries. Two sentences.
"I hope you can abide by the agreement. In addition, please inform your relatives tonight, because tomorrow I will start the first round of new project experiments. Please prepare when you go back."
"So urgent?" Thompson frowned, "Are it just the three of us?"
"No, there is still me." Zhang Heng pointed at himself and said with a smile, "I am actually also a scientific researcher. I will conduct experiments with you. This experiment may take more than a week, so please inform me in advance. Family and friends.”
"I have no problem." Zhao Qing and Nanno Shuichi looked at each other and nodded excitedly, "By the way, BOSS, now that we have signed the agreement, can you tell us what the new scientific research project is?"
"I can't say it yet." Zhang Heng said with a mysterious smile, "But I believe it will surprise you tomorrow."
Zhao Qing nodded and did not ask further in order to avoid suspicion.
In fact, the three of them felt the same as Ming Jing. The reason why the other party did not tell them was actually a sign of distrust. The so-called confidentiality agreement is actually like the "letter of investment" in the past. It's okay if you don't sign it, but once you sign it, it is tied to the company's interests.
If someone leaks company secrets, what awaits that person will definitely not be just a court summons, but retaliation, intimidation, and even assassination from the dark forces behind the company.
However, this time the three of them were a little wrong...
…
Early the next morning.
As usual, Thompson subconsciously stood in front of his wife after finishing the meal. His wife smiled slightly and diligently helped him put on his dark blue tie.
Like Thompson, his wife is no longer young. Her sagging skin, deep crow's feet, and brown age spots are all constantly complaining about the ruthless passage of time.
However, for some reason, Thompson suddenly felt a little emotional today. He looked at his wife who was still carefully arranging the wrinkles of her suit, and kept thinking, how long ago did he develop this habit
It seems, is it the wife's hair color or the beautiful and dazzling blonde
Or, is it when your wife’s skin is breakable and her face is like the most beautiful angel
Or maybe it was when he was so poor that his wife could only eat black bread with him every day...
Time is like the most naughty running water. It passes by your fingertips inadvertently and cannot be captured. I still remember how young and beautiful my wife was back then, but when I regained consciousness, I and my wife were already covered with white frost...
Subconsciously, Thompson touched his wife's wrinkled face, then kissed her deeply. Finally, he laughed under his wife's astonished eyes and left the door, driving towards the laboratory.
"After finishing this company project, it's time to retire." Thompson looked at himself in the rearview mirror and shook his head.
Time makes people grow old.
When we arrived at the laboratory, the young boss was already waiting inside the laboratory door. The young man's energy sometimes made even Thompson envious.
"Three of you, because you need to keep it confidential, you may stay in the laboratory for more than a week. If you haven't notified your relatives yet, please notify them immediately. Then I will take away your mobile phones and all electronic devices on you. You are ready. Ok?"
When Zhang Heng saw the three people gathered, he clapped his hands and said.
"No problem, I was ready last night."
"That's okay with me too."
Zhao Qing and Nan Yexiu nodded, and then the three of them looked at Thompson together.
"Me too. Although I'm older, it's not a problem to last a week or two in the laboratory." Thompson nodded and replied while changing into a white lab coat.
"Very good, Mr. Thompson is really going strong." Zhang Heng nodded with a smile, closed the laboratory door and turned on all protective devices under the gaze of the three people.
At this time, no one can enter or leave the laboratory unless authorized by him personally.
For some reason, Thompson suddenly felt uneasy in his heart at this time, as if something was wrong. He subconsciously looked around. At this time, the laboratory was no different from before. If there was any difference, it was … In the sterile laboratory room, there is an extra piece of equipment that has never been seen before.
That piece of equipment was like a seat, but unlike other seats, the seat had a complicated steel frame, like a torture instrument.
Behind the seat, there is a set of complex and precise machinery linked. Dozens of slender mechanical arms hang down from the top of the machinery. The mechanical arms are small and exquisite, exuding a silver-white brilliance, and are full of futuristic technology.
"What is that?" Thompson asked through the tempered glass, pointing to the piece of equipment in the sterile room.
"That is an automatic surgical equipment, capable of performing surgical operations with nanometer precision." Zhang Heng smiled, "It was airlifted from the head office yesterday."
"I don't think this joke is funny." Thompson shook his head and did not continue. Zhao Qing and Minamino Shuichi also looked at the strange but technologically beautiful device.
"Can we go in and take a look?" Zhao Qing asked with burning eyes.
"Of course." Zhang Heng made an invitation gesture and led the three of them into the disinfection channel of the sterile laboratory. After some disinfection, they put on chemical protective clothing again, and then walked into the sterile laboratory.
Thompson was the first to enter the sterile laboratory. His enthusiasm for biology made him immediately fall in love with this piece of equipment. It must be said that although this piece of equipment was not designed to be aesthetically pleasing, it was as if it had been removed from other equipment. The parts look the same when reassembled, but judging from the mechanical arms and other parts alone, the sophistication of these robotic arms has almost reached an artistic level! For Thompson, who was accustomed to seeing precision instruments, he couldn't help but secretly marvel.
"What does this instrument do?" Thompson couldn't help but ask again.
However, what he responded to was two dull sounds of falling to the ground.
Thompson couldn't help but look back, only to see that at some point, Zhao Qing and Nanno Xiuichi were lying on the ground unconsciously, and in front of them stood an expressionless Zhang Heng.
"You..." Thompson said in shock, but as soon as he said a word, Zhang Heng suddenly moved his feet, and a figure appeared out of thin air behind him like a ghost. At the same time, he stretched out his palm and lightly struck Thompson on the back of the neck.
The next second, Thompson felt his neck sink, and then he started spinning and completely lost consciousness...
