Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 521 Gene Research Institute
The next day, Li You received a call from Jiang Renjiu and learned that the director had taken sick leave, but called him early in the morning and expressed his willingness to cooperate.

Li You smiled, told him to do his job well, and then hung up the phone.

"well done."

Li You laughed, "James has finished his plan?"

"It's over," Quan Zaijun nodded solemnly, "He stayed up all night yesterday and completed the whole plan. We can't really understand it anyway."

"This guy said that the reason he was able to get out of there before was because the Daying Group let him go. This time he wants to challenge his limits."

"He's catching up on sleep now and will start the action in the evening."

"No problem," Li You waved his hand, "Just follow his plan and see what he does."

Looking at Quan Jae-jun leaving, Li You's expression became a little solemn.

The reason is also very simple.

Dr. Daniel, who went to the United States, has lost contact.

The security personnel he sent to follow Daniel didn't even realize how they lost him.

"I always feel that something big is coming," Li You looked at the calm interface and always felt that something was unusual.

"Dr. Daniel!" A well-dressed woman in her thirties stepped forward. "I'm Bai Jingen, the supervisor who invited you here."

"Director Bai," Daniel was a little surprised, "There are Korean staff members in the genetic research institute here?"

"Not a few," Bai Jingen smiled, "Please follow me and I'll show you around."

Walking into the institute, you can see many photos and paintings.

Daniel looked at these seriously. These were not simple works of art.

"Dr. Daniel is interested in this history?" Bai Jingen slowed down.

"Manager Bai, can you tell me about it?"

"Of course," the two chatted as they walked, "Since primitive people carved statues, humans have been pursuing the perfect human body, and the best way to achieve this is gene editing and transformation, so this carving photo is the first one."

"This is a relief on a Mayan pyramid," Director Bai pointed to a somewhat strange picture, "Because of these reliefs, we even conducted some research on Mayan civilization, but unfortunately, we found nothing."

"We have tried to believe that the Mayan civilization was an advanced civilization, but... based on the current findings, it was not."

"So the reliefs on the Mayan pyramids have become something that cannot be understood. There is nothing related to them in all the ruins now."

As they walked, Director Bai slowed down his pace and waited for Dr. Daniel to take a closer look. “This is a mural on the Egyptian pyramids.”

"The above is the Egyptians offering sacrifices to the black Anubis. In Egypt at that time, black represented life and rebirth. They were praying to be made into mummies, which, in the eyes of the Egyptians, symbolized the supreme and perfect mummy of mankind."

"This is Dante's Divine Comedy," Manager Bai said, regardless of whether Daniel knew it or not, "It symbolizes the rebirth of mankind."

"These two are"

"The Bible," Daniel frowned as he looked at the pages, "God created man and Jesus was born."

"Of course God doesn't exist," Manager Bai said with a smile. "In our understanding, this is the ancient people's yearning for a perfect person, hoping that such a person would appear to lead them to the light."

Daniel's brows furrowed more and more. He didn't feel the scientific atmosphere here, but felt it was a bit weird.

“Then God created man?”

"God can create the current human beings," Director Bai smiled strangely, "Gene editing can also create more perfect human beings."

"Hiss" Daniel continued to follow, the photos below made his scalp tingle, "Is this a human experiment?" "The German Empire during World War II," Manager Bai looked at the photos calmly.

There were dozens of these photos, which were enlarged and posted in the corridors of the institute.

Very permeable.

"This is illegal!" Daniel was shocked. "Who are you?"

"Please go this way, Dr. Daniel," Director Bai ignored his shock and just led the way.

"In 1975, California held the Asilomar Conference on Genetic Recombination Technology. As a genetics expert, Dr. Daniel must have known this."

Daniel actually wanted to quit here, especially when he thought that even Li You didn't get anything from the CIA, which made him feel even worse. However, the temptation of genetics prevented him from turning back.

"I know that the Asilomar Conference on Recombinant DNA Research, organized by Professor Paul Berg, discussed potential biohazards and regulation of biotechnology, and was specifically designed to ensure the safety of recombinant DNA technology, turning precautionary measures into public oversight of this technology."

"After that," Director Bai said, "several company founders founded the Gene Editing Corporation in 1980 and subsequently established six research institutes around the world. Originally there were seven."

“When I was a teenager, I joined the institute with my sister.”

Daniel was silent for a long time, "What on earth are you doing?"

"What research are you doing?"

Manager Bai's first sentence was very vague, "Of course it's genetic research."

She smiled, and the alloy door in front of her was tightly closed. "Dr. Daniel, do you want to go in and take a look?"

Daniel frowned, thought for a long time, and then nodded slightly.

"That's fine," Manager Bai unlocked the door. Three types of verification were applied: pupil, fingerprint, and face, which had to be verified one by one.

They entered the door and first saw a very long corridor with very dark lights.

"In fact, there should have been seven," Director Bai said helplessly, "but..."

"That Chairman Li of the Kinmen Group is a bit eye-catching. We really can't build the research institute without him."

"We Korean staff have no choice but to stay here. We were originally planning to build a research institute on Jeju Island."

"But Chairman Lee developed Jeju Island's tourism too quickly, and with more and more tourists, it was too easy to be exposed."

"By the way," Director Bai asked intentionally or unintentionally, "It is said that Dr. Daniel has had contact with President Li. Did he find anything unusual about President Li?"

"Unusual?" Daniel was stunned. "Why do you ask?"

Manager Bai raised his eyebrows and looked at him twice, his eyes confirmed something, "It seems not."

The two walked to the end of the dark corridor, and Daniel realized that there was an elevator.

"What kind of research institute is this that requires such secrecy?"

"You're not doing that kind of experiment?"

"What experiment?" Director Bai and Daniel went down in the elevator. "Oh"

She smiled and said, "I am indeed doing it."

Daniel turned his head suddenly, and the dim elevator light illuminated Bai Jingen's indescribable weird smile.
