Ye Ling's fingertips trembled slightly. The clip on the screen that she was staring at was like a spark, instantly igniting the long-dormant desire in her heart.
The fusion of alien biological genes and mechas is definitely an unprecedented breakthrough in the field of mechas!
She felt her blood boiling, and an unprecedented excitement surged in her heart, just like epic equipment exploded in the game, making her want to rush into the laboratory immediately and start her great experiment.
However, just when she was ready to do something big, a piece of news was like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the fire in her heart.
The authority in the mecha world, that stubborn old man Modkaiser, openly issued a statement in the media, firmly boycotting her research!
"What? Is this old man living in the last century? Isn't scientific research about making bold assumptions and carefully verifying them? He's such a representative of the old-fashioned school!" Ye Ling was so angry that she almost threw her phone away. She felt that her three views were challenged. It was clearly a scientific breakthrough in exploring the unknown, so how could it be turned into a scourge?
She gritted her teeth and swore in her heart that she would never back down because of the old man's opposition.
The next day, at the meeting of the Scientific Ethics Committee, Ye Ling and Modcaiser met again.
The atmosphere in the conference room was even colder than the Arctic in winter.
Modkaiser's old face was as cold as a thousand-year-old ice, and the look he gave Ye Ling was full of contempt and disdain.
"Ye Ling, your behavior is simply nonsense! Have you ever considered the consequences of experimenting with the future of mankind?" His voice was loud and sharp, with a hint of undisguised anger, as if Ye Ling had committed some heinous crime.
Ye Ling sneered and responded in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Professor Modkaiser, scientific progress requires innovation and experimentation! Do we have to be like you, holding on to the rags of the old era and waiting for opportunities, and stay where we are forever? The genes of alien creatures contain huge potential. We can't stop moving forward because of fear of the unknown!" Her tone was sonorous and powerful, and her eyes were full of determination, like a sharp sword, pointing directly at Modkaiser's conservative ideas.
The two people were arguing with each other, and the conference room was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder. It was like two armies facing each other, and a war of the century could break out at any time.
Although she was so angry at Modkaiser's accusation that she wanted to overturn the table, Ye Ling remained calm. She knew very well that if she wanted to break through, she had to withstand the pressure and never back down!
"Hmph, let's see how long you can be so proud." Modkaiser said coldly, then left the meeting room without looking back. His angry snort seemed to still linger in the air.
Ye Ling looked at his departing back and narrowed her eyes slightly.
She knew that this was just the calm before the storm.
After the meeting, Ye Ling felt like a penguin thrown into an ice cellar, and her whole body was cold.
The old man Modkaiser is worthy of being the "top figure" in the scientific community. With just one sentence, he made her a "rat crossing the street" and everyone avoided her.
In the corridor, those "scientific research giants" who used to chat and laugh with her now walked around her as if she were the plague, for fear of being contaminated by bad luck.
"Tsk tsk, this Ye Ling is really courting death, actually daring to challenge Professor Modkaiser!"
"That's what I mean. Gene fusion is pure nonsense!"
"I think she's completely finished this time. I'm afraid she won't be able to make it in the scientific community anymore!"
Those whispers were like fine needles piercing Ye Ling's eardrums, making her feel particularly harsh.
She felt as if she had been abandoned by the whole world, and a deep sense of loss surged in her heart, drowning her like a tide.
"Alas, as expected, ideals are full, but reality is very skinny!" Ye Ling sighed and walked towards the laboratory with heavy steps.
Just when she felt she was about to be swallowed by despair, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
It was Elise, the xenobiologist who always looked so cautious.
"Ye Ling, are you...are you okay?" Iris's voice was very soft, as if she was afraid of being heard by others.
Ye Ling raised her head and saw a hint of worry in Iris's eyes.
She forced a smile, "I'm fine, thank you, Elise."
"Well... actually, I... I secretly got you some information about the genes of alien creatures. Maybe it will be helpful to you." After Iris finished speaking, she quickly handed Ye Ling a USB drive and ran away quickly.
Ye Ling looked at the USB flash drive in her hand with a look of surprise on her face, like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw.
She opened the USB drive, which was filled with detailed data about the genes of various alien creatures, as well as some of Iris's research notes. She felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
"Damn, this is such a timely help!" Ye Ling almost jumped up with excitement. She felt like she was alive again!
She looked up and around, making sure no one was paying attention, then immediately turned around and ran back to the laboratory.
"Trundle, get ready, we are about to start doing something!" Ye Ling rushed into the laboratory in a hurry and shouted to Trundle who was tidying up the instruments.
When Trundle heard Ye Ling's excited voice, he was stunned for a moment. Before he could react, he saw Ye Ling had already started to operate.
"This time, we are going to show those conservatives who is the real king of scientific research!" Ye Ling's eyes flashed with excitement.
She inserted the USB drive into the computer, and dense data began to scroll on the screen. The light of the laboratory reflected on her determined profile, as if foreshadowing that an earth-shaking change was about to begin.
