Ye Yi ignored the sounds around him, looked at Wei Chengjun with a firm gaze, and spoke.
"Based on my scientific knowledge, everything I see today should exist in fantasy or the future."
These words silenced the previously noisy scene, and everyone's attention turned to Ye Yi.
"I really like the saying: 'The end of science is theology.' Therefore, I believe that these so-called supernatural powers can all be explained by science."
At that moment, a dissenting voice suddenly rang out.
"Putting aside their power, the wounded who were healed by the starlight are something that current science cannot solve."
Ye Yi glanced briefly at the person who had spoken, then said arrogantly.
"Give me six months, and I can develop a medicine to cure any injury for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, another round of discussion broke out, with many people feeling that Ye Yi was being somewhat nonsensical.
At this moment, Wei Chengjun coughed lightly to stop the noisy scene and said.
"Ahem, under Ye Yi's leadership, our country's scientific research project has successfully developed the super-energy X-1 substance, which can now cure cancer. According to the expert team's future assessment, if this substance continues to be developed, humans may become immortal."
As Wei Chengjun finished speaking, the scene erupted in an uproar, with everyone looking at Ye Yi with astonishment.
Even the two people who had spoken earlier looked at Ye Yi with surprise.
Ye Yi was prepared for such an assessment. After all, the super-powered X-1 substance was extracted from an immortal vampire, so there was no problem with continuing to develop it to make people immortal.
The question now is how long such development will take.
"Alright, Xiao Ye, you can continue speaking now," Wei Chengjun said to Ye Yi after the room quieted down.
“Alright. Since we’ve already discussed the X-1 super-energy substance, I have a small request: I need the cells of some extraordinary organisms. This way, I’m confident I can develop a path to the extraordinary within a year,” Ye Yi said firmly once again.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present gasped, and even Wei Chengjun looked at Ye Yi with surprise.
“We’ll talk after the meeting. I’d like to know your thoughts on this extraordinary event,” Wei Chengjun said.
Upon hearing this, Ye Yi shook his head and said...
"I have no opinion, but I've become curious about the supernatural world."
As he spoke, a hint of fanaticism appeared in Ye Yi's eyes, making him look exactly like a scientific research fanatic.
A research fanatic—that's the label everyone present gave Ye Yi.
This was a scene that Ye Yi was happy to see.
He needs to make everyone believe that he is a research fanatic.
"Alright, then sit down first," Wei Chengjun said helplessly, but his eyes revealed his appreciation for Ye Yi.
Ye Yi obediently sat down, no longer listening to the other people in the conference room, but lost in thought.
Two hours later, Wei Chengjun finally spoke.
"This meeting is now adjourning. After you leave, please sign the confidentiality agreement. At the same time, our country is preparing to establish the Dragon Nation Special Operations Group, which will be referred to as the Dragon Group for short. If you have any questions, please ask our staff after the meeting."
This news immediately attracted a lot of attention from everyone present, including Ye Yi.
However, he glanced at Wei Chengjun and then looked away, as if he didn't care about the news.
After a while, the crowd gradually dispersed.
"Little Ye, come here." Yan Zhengnan said to Ye Yi, who was in a daze.
"Okay." Ye Yi immediately followed behind Yan Zhengnan.
The two quickly walked to a room next to the conference room.
Wei Chengjun was already waiting for Ye Yi's arrival in the room.
Upon seeing them arrive, Wei Chengjun immediately stood up and praised them.
"Heroes emerge from among the young! It is truly a blessing for the Dragon Kingdom to have a young genius like you."
Ye Yi smiled shyly. Seeing Ye Yi like this made people believe that Ye Yi was just a high school student.
“Little Yezi, this time the country needs to divert the public’s attention, so they will release your Superpower X-1 substance under the guise of an anti-cancer drug. You need to be prepared,” Yan Zhengnan said at this moment.
“But we can’t mass-produce it yet,” Ye Yi said.
"We're releasing this news now, and it'll be available in about two months. Are you confident you can get the Super X-1 product mass-produced within those two months?" Yan Zhengnan asked seriously.
Ye Yi lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said.
"I don't have enough manpower, and there's nothing I can do. I can only be confident if I have a thousand researchers who understand Ye's gene editing technology."
"Don't worry about that. Ten days from now, these thousand people will appear before you immediately," Wei Chengjun said.
Ye Yi's eyes lit up immediately.
After all, the power of a country is beyond Ye Yi's imagination. Such a request might be difficult for other countries, but in China, it is absolutely easy.
"I guarantee I'll complete the mission," Ye Yi immediately assured, patting his chest.
"By the way, what are your thoughts on the Dragon Group?" Wei Chengjun asked at this moment.
Hearing Wei Chengjun's words, Ye Yi shook his head and said.
"I don't have any opinion. Minister Wei, please just say what you think."
Wei Chengjun pondered for a moment before speaking.
"The higher-ups intend for this department to deal with extraordinary events like those in Japan, which are extremely dangerous but also carry immense power. This department will be divided into three sub-departments: the rapid response team, the research team, and the logistics support team. I hope you can take the lead in the research team."
“Wei Chengjun, Ye Yi is still young. We old guys should handle these dangerous tasks.” Before Ye Yi could say anything after hearing Wei Chengjun’s words, Yan Zhengnan said with dissatisfaction.
You have to understand that Ye Yi is now a treasure of the entire scientific research community in China. Yan Zhengnan is naturally not happy about putting him in such a dangerous position.
"Old Yan, listen to me, this isn't my idea, it's the order from above," Wei Chengjun said with a bitter face.
"Then tell me, what does the higher-ups mean? Whose idea is this? I'll have a word with them. Anyway, I'm making this clear: your Dragon Group can have anyone from the Research Institute, even me, but not Ye Yi." Yan Zhengnan finally displayed the imposing manner of the former director of the Research Institute.
At this point, Wei Chengjun could only give an awkward smile, but he turned his pleading gaze to Ye Yi.
At this moment, Ye Yi also came back to his senses from deep thought.
