Hello, Mr. Major General Chapter 1715 - The Polar Opposites (2)

Chapter 1715: The Polar Opposites (2)

Lu Yuan did not speak for a long time.
After a while, Lu Jin thought that he had stopped, however, Lu Yuan asked faintly,”… because of this reason, you set up this trap more than 30 years ago? You’re so amazing, you hid it so well, I didn’t even notice. Don’t call me Boss Lu in the future, you’re the Boss.”
Lu Jin: “…”
“Alright, I’ll follow up on this matter. You don’t have to bother about it anymore.” Lu Yuan raised his hand, “Don’t go out again for the next few days. Nianzhi and Peter are both extremely observant people. If you try to pull any more tricks, I think they’ll lock you up in your studio.”
Lu Jin: “…”
He stood up and wanted to leave, but Lu Yuan rubbed his temples and continued, “Help me check again. Recently, I’ve been having more headaches than before, and I often have insomnia.”
Lu Yuan’s headache was caused by the magnetic resonance during the experiment.
It hadn’t been cured yet.
The disease had nothing to do with genes, and Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help him.
Lu Jin took Lu Yuan to his studio in his apartment. There was a complete set of equipment there to give Lu Yuan a full physical examination.
The Committee of State Security (KGB) was also in the middle of sending Huo Shaoheng a message.
It just so happened that his colleague was on the line, and immediately started to study it after receiving the message.
…
In the evening, Lu Yuan woke up from a nap and found himself still in Lu Jin’s studio.
Lu Jin was sitting in front of his supercomputer, doing something.
Lu Yuan got down from the hospital bed and asked Lu Jin, “How is it? Is there nothing wrong with my body?”
Lu Jin turned back to look at him and smiled. “Your body is fine, but your mind isn’t.”
Lu Yuan: “… Speak in human language.”
Lu Jin snapped his fingers. “It’s just that you’ve been feeling lustful recently, causing changes in your body’s hormone levels. You haven’t vented your feelings for a long time, so there’s nothing wrong with it when your hormones are low. But when your hormones are high, if you don’t vent your feelings, there will be problems.”
Lu Yuan awkwardly curled the corners of his mouth and directly ignored Lu Jin’s next words. He nodded and said, “It’s good that your body is fine.”
He then asked Lu Jin, “It’s getting late. Should I go make dinner?”
Lu Jin smiled and waved at him. “Go, go, go! I’ll head over after I’ve finished calculating this problem.”
Lu Yuan:”…”
He came to Gu Nianzhi’s apartment and saw her and Huo Shaoheng sitting opposite each other on the sofa, as if they were talking.
Gu Nianzhi smiled as soon as he entered. “President Lu, you’re here to cook dinner?”
Lu Yuan snickered. “Peter, come to the kitchen. I’ll teach you how to cook.”
Huo Shaoheng pursed his lips into a smile and said to Gu Nianzhi, “My colleague said there’s a result and he’ll send an update soon. This is my phone, take a look for yourself.” He handed his phone to Gu Nianzhi as he spoke.
Gu Nianzhi quickly waved her hand and said, “No, I don’t want it. How can I take a look at your phone? You can show it to me later.”
Lu Yuan couldn’t help but feel his teeth ache for them when he saw how hypocritical they were.
But he didn’t say anything and turned to walk to the kitchen.
Huo Shaoheng saw that Gu Nianzhi was adamant about not wanting his phone, so he didn’t insist anymore. He stood up from the sofa and said, “Then I’ll go to the kitchen first. I’ll let you know if there’s anything.”
Gu Nianzhi nodded.
Huo Shaoheng and Lu Yuan had just gone to the kitchen when Lu Jin arrived.
Seeing that Gu Nianzhi was alone in the living room looking at her phone, Lu Jin smiled and said, “Huh? Where are the other two?”
“They went to the kitchen.” Gu Nianzhi looked up and smiled at Lu Jin. “Dad, have you rested?”
“Yes, yes. I’m fine. I’ll be fine after I get some sleep tonight.” Lu Jin laughed and sat down next to Gu Nianzhi.
He had barely spoken to her when Gu Nianzhi’s phone rang.
She picked it up and looked at it. Seeing that it was He Zhichu calling, she hesitated for a moment but still answered with a guilty conscience.
“Nianzhi, Happy New Year.” He Zhichu stood in the meeting room of a military camp and looked down, lost in thought as he stared at the geometric carpet on the ground.
Gu Nianzhi quickly said, “Happy New Year, Young Master He. I should be the one to wish you Happy New Year. However, I saw you and General He’s New Year speech at the Spring Festival Gala last night. I thought you might have been busy these past few days, so I didn’t call.”
He Zhichu had gone with He Chengjian early in the morning to pay New Year’s greetings to the officers and soldiers.
He was indeed very busy.
He Zhichu smiled faintly and said coldly, “No matter how busy you are, you still have time to call someone.”
“Some people use being busy as an excuse to not call anyone. They either don’t care about you or they don’t want to talk to you.”
Gu Nianzhi was a little embarrassed and whispered, “Young Master He is always so blunt.”
He Zhichu was about to speak when the door to the conference room opened. Xie Qingying, who was dressed in camouflage and winter military uniform, poked her head in and smiled. “Young Master He, it’s your turn.”
She was one of the best in new media, and He Chengjian wanted to set her up with He Zhichu. Therefore, he allowed Xie Qingying’s new media company to participate in this year’s New Year’s event, which was a supplement to traditional media.
Gu Nianzhi heard Xie Qingying’s voice on the phone and immediately recognized her.
She said happily,”… did Cousin Xie call you? Young Master He, hurry up and go. I won’t keep you any longer. Hahahaha…”
Gu Nianzhi hung up the phone decisively, and the smile on her face grew wider.
It was the first day of the New Year, and the good news came one after another..
Lu Jin had wanted to criticize He Zhichu, but seeing that Gu Nianzhi was in a good mood after the call, he swallowed his words and said with a smile, “Is it Xie Qingying? She’s with He Zhichu on the first day of the New Year? Looks like good things are coming.”
Gu Nianzhi smiled, but didn’t say anything.
At that moment, her phone rang again.
Gu Nianzhi looked down and saw that it was a text from Huo Shaoheng asking her to check her email.
Gu Nianzhi quickly opened her email and saw that there was an attachment that Huo Shaoheng had forward over.
She glanced at Lu Jin and said calmly, “Dad, I want to eat some mangoes. Can you help me check if there are any more in the kitchen?”
“Mangoes? Okay, okay, okay. I’ll go check. I remember there are still some. But it’s not good to just eat mangoes. I’ll go check if there are any other fruits.” Lu Jin quickly stood up. “Wait a while…”
He happily went to the kitchen to prepare some fruits for Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi wanted mangoes because it would take longer to prepare, so Lu Jin would stay in the kitchen for a while longer.
After Lu Jin left, Gu Nianzhi opened the attachment in her mailbox and looked at it.
It was an attachment from Huo Shaoheng’s “Soviet colleague”. It was mainly to explain to Huo Shaoheng the pros and cons of the experimental design.
Gu Nianzhi saw a long string of data analysis in the attachment, the person wrote: “The experimental design was indeed considered as very advanced when it was released more than 30 years ago. It was also very precise and perfect. It was proposed by the Japanese expert in genetic engineering, Ishihara Baisan, in his doctoral thesis.”
“… Later, Ishihara Baisan’s research and the entire Japanese research in genetic engineering were carried out under this framework.”
“However, the strange thing is that Ishihara Baisan’s research over the past 30 years has not produced any meaningful results.”
Gu Nianzhi’s heart skipped a beat when she saw this.
She quickly searched online for the academic papers that Ishihara Baisan had published over the past 30 years.
Even if she did not know anything about genetic engineering, Gu Nianzhi found out that although Ishihara Baisan had published a lot of research papers in top journals over the past 30 years, when she looked at the titles and abstracts of those papers, she immediately understood that they were just meaningless fluff. They were not as useful as the concept of “gene editing” that Qin Yaoguang had proposed over a decade ago.
This was strange…
She held her phone in her hand as she pondered, until Lu Jin placed a fruit platter in front of her.
There were sliced ivory rays, peeled lychees, and some fresh water chestnuts.
Gu Nianzhi picked up a few slices of water chestnuts with a toothpick and ate them. She smiled as she chatted with Lu Jin in a roundabout way.
“Dad, can you tell me about our family? What do grandfather and grandmother do? Where are they?”
Lu Jin was very happy to see Gu Nianzhi asking about the Gu family. He sat beside her and fed her lychee with a toothpick, he said, “Your grandfather, Gu Haize, went abroad a long time ago. He used to be a very famous psychologist, but he’s no longer around. Your grandmother lived a good life with grandfather, hardly ever see one without the other, but she’s no longer around too.”
Gu Nianzhi was very regretful and continued to probe,”… Did grandfather go to Germany?”
Lu Jin:”…”
He frowned at Gu Nianzhi. “Why Germany? What are you thinking about?”
Gu Nianzhi stopped beating around the bush, “I’m thinking about my counterpart. Gu Haize was a very powerful person in the other world. “He knew extremely powerful hypnotism, but he was locked up in the Northeast Digital Army’s concentration camp… Later, before the end of World War II, he was sent to Germany…”
Lu Jin shook his head as if he was not surprised at all, “This is different. Our Gu family is here, and we were never captured by the Japanese Digital Army. My father went abroad to study when he was in his teens. He finished his PhD in psychology in the United States and stayed there to settle down.”
Gu Xiangwen, who was also Lu Jin’s genius, was not a result of the Japanese “Genetic Enhancement Plan”.
He was a natural-born descendant of Huaxia.
“So you were born abroad?” Gu Nianzhi perked up and became even more curious. “What about the he family? is Young Master He’s grandfather called He Shouwang? Is he also a good friend of my grandfather?”
Lu Jin nodded. “I was born and raised abroad. After I finished my PhD, your grandfather asked me to return to China, so I returned to China to do research.”
“He Chengjian’s father is indeed called He Shouwang. He also studied abroad and had a good relationship with your grandfather. But he attended the United States Military Academy at West Point. After he returned to China, he joined the revolution and died on the battlefield. He Chengjian inherited his legacy and joined the army.”
Gu Nianzhi heard this and realized that He Shouwang and Gu Haize on this side were completely different from He Shouwang and Gu Haize on the other side.
He Zhichu had once said, “My grandfather, He Shouwang, and your grandfather, Gu Haize, were both survivors of the Japanese Genetic Enhancement Plan against Huaxia.”
Now that he thought about it, was he actually talking about He Shouwang and Gu Haize in that world, and not He Shouwang and Gu Haize in this world?
