"How about we publish your gene-editing basics in Cell?" Yan Zhengnan, Ye Yi, and Ye Qiushou walked side by side.
Yan Zhengnan suddenly said.
Yan Zhengnan paused for a moment and then added.
“Our entire research institute can be your recommender.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Yi fell into deep thought.
He needs the power of faith, which in turn requires a great deal of fame, and having his paper published in one of the world's three major scientific journals, Cell, would be of great help.
However, if this gene-editing technology is put into practice, there is a fear that others will learn it.
After all, science knows no borders, but scientists do have national boundaries.
At this moment, Yan Zhengnan suddenly spoke.
Are you worried that people from other countries will learn from this?
"Hmm." Ye Yi nodded silently.
“Actually, we can publish this in multiple parts. That way, we don’t have to worry about others copying it. We can even choose to gloss over some of the core steps,” Yan Zhengnan suddenly said.
"Ah, is this alright?" Ye Yi asked, somewhat surprised.
Yan Zhengnan said with a smile.
"In fact, you could have published your rebuttal of the Lochte Gene Modification Guidelines."
"Then I'll publish this rebuttal to the 'Lochs Gene Modification Guidelines'," Ye Yi said, his eyes lighting up.
“Alright. While we old fogies still have some say, it’s good to pave the way for your future,” Yan Zhengnan said.
His words were tinged with sadness.
After all, the lack of technological progress for twenty consecutive years has indeed made these pillars of the nation feel somewhat guilty.

Ninth Bureau of Dragon Kingdom Security.
This Ninth Bureau is responsible for the safety of all important personnel in the Dragon Kingdom.
In an office, two men are standing in front of a man who appears to be a leader.
The two men were of different sizes: one was as strong as a mountain, and the other was as slender as a woman.
"There's someone who needs your protection this time," the leader said.
"Wow~ Boss, who is this person? They actually need both of us to protect them. How long are you planning to protect them this time?" the slender man said with some surprise.
But the small dagger in his hand was still dancing between his fingers.
The leader frowned, clearly disliking the slender man's flamboyance, but still spoke.
"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, you will protect him for the rest of your careers."
A hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.
The burly man asked in a deep voice.
"Name, personality, characteristics."
"Stone, why are you in such a hurry?" the slender man said with a grin.
"Fengmang, put away your ostentatious manner. This mission is very important. It's a red-level mission," the leader warned sternly.
As soon as the voice fell, Feng Mang immediately straightened his posture, not because of the leader's warning, but because of the special nature of the red-level mission.
Seeing that the sharp edge had finally quieted down, the leader continued.
"The target of this protection is named Ye Yi, Ye Qiushou's grandson. Age: 18."
"Do we have to protect the third generation of vehicles too?" Feng Mang immediately shouted in dissatisfaction.
The leader, annoyed by the sharp retort, glared at him fiercely.
"Boss, you continue, I'll shut up." Feng Mang immediately made a zipper-like motion over his mouth.
"The mission this time is to protect him. The reason is that his scientific research results have become the greatest scientific research achievement in our country in the past twenty years. If the final test is successful, our country will be able to save tens of millions of people. And if we study it in more depth, it will be even more terrifying."
The leader said with a cold face.
"Holy crap, that's ruthless. What kind of project is it?" Feng Mang's eyes widened immediately.
"Shut up. Some things are better left unasked. It won't do you any good," the leader warned, a sharp glint in his eyes.
"Ahem, I understand, I understand." Feng Mang immediately fell silent.
"Location and time," Ishibashi said coldly.
"Immediately, to the research institute. You are granted unlimited firing authority this time. The higher-ups are taking this very seriously, do you understand?" the leader emphasized repeatedly.
"clear."
"receive."
The two then left the office.
As the leader watched the two figures leave, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"The combination of Ishibashi's composure and sharp, unconventional spirit is most suitable for young people."
Then he looked down at the documents on the table and couldn't help but sigh.
"Our Dragon Kingdom has produced a genius. I hope everything will be alright."

Ye Yi was eating in the cafeteria when he was upset to find that a group of academicians had unknowingly placed their plates around him.
Before he knew it, Ye Yi was surrounded by a large number of academicians.
All the academicians stared at Ye Yi with eyes full of special longing.
This gave Ye Yi a chill down his spine.
Finally, Ye Yi couldn't help but speak up.
"Esteemed seniors, may I ask you something?"
"It's nothing, it's nothing. I'm just eating here," an academician said casually.
At that moment, a voice rang out.
"Xiao Ye, I have something to ask you. Your experiment needs an assistant, right? How about I?"
Ye Yi opened his mouth in a daze, but before he could speak, another voice rang out.
"Old Chen, what nonsense are you talking about? Aren't you still very busy with your project? I'm different, I'm very free right now, Xiao Ye, what do you think of me?"
Ye Yi was somewhat at a loss for words in the face of this scene. He knew that the people in front of him were all national treasures, all academicians of the Dragon Kingdom's scientific research institute, and held a very high position.
"Old friends, stop bullying my grandson. We can talk about the assistant later. Old Yan has something to discuss with Xiao Ye." At this moment, Ye Qiushou suddenly appeared to help Ye Yi out of the predicament.
Upon hearing this excuse, many academicians were at a loss for words.
After all, Yan Zhengnan was in charge of all the funding for the projects of the academicians present.
Ye Yi immediately understood and replied.
"Thank you for your kind words, seniors. Dean Yan has something to discuss with me, so I'll be leaving now."
After speaking, he bowed and then left the scene with Ye Qiushou.
Following Ye Qiushou, Ye Yi entered a room.
Besides Yan Zhengnan, there were two other men in the room.
One was as strong as a mountain, the other as slender as a girl.
But the dagger spinning rapidly in Fengmang's hand told Ye Yi that this slender person was not as fragile as he had imagined.
Yan Zhengnan then introduced it.
"These two are state security comrades assigned by the government to specifically protect your safety, Xiao Ye."
"Ah," Ye Yi exclaimed, bewildered.
"Don't be surprised, you're very important now. By the way, I know you young people don't like being followed, but you need to understand your own importance."
"Okay, I understand," Ye Yi said.
