The helicopter soared high for a while before Su Chen became restless, thinking the pilot was flying too slowly!
So, Su Chen went directly to the pilot and told him to take the back seat so he could take over.
The pilot looked at him puzzled, thinking, "Do you even know how to fly?"
This wasn't a car, let alone a bicycle!
However, before the trip, Qin Ming had instructed him to follow this man's orders, so he didn't say anything and gave up his seat.
But he didn't go to the back; after all, this was a plane. If this guy didn't know how to fly and was just being stubborn about it, it could cost lives!
Standing by his side, he could lend a hand if needed—this was one of the reasons he agreed to let the young man fly.
However, after a while, the pilot was completely taken aback because the man's operation was so proficient, so smooth, as if everything came naturally to him!
It was as if he had been flying planes all his life, every action executed perfectly!
The pilot immediately became unsettled and wondered if this guy was also a pilot like himself, and perhaps an incredibly skilled one at that?
Su Chen, however, paid no mind to what the pilot thought; all he wanted was to reach Jianghai as soon as possible!
Since Su Chen was piloting, the journey time was cut in half.
When the helicopter landed on a helipad in Jianghai, Su Chen immediately hailed a taxi to Belle Group's pharmaceutical division.
"Dr. Gaia, was what you said on the phone really true?"
"What exactly is going on? What's the solution you mentioned?"
In Dr. Gaia's office, as soon as the door closed, Su Chen rattled off several questions, looking very anxious.
Dr. Gaia looked at him with a slight smile, not too surprised by his reaction; he understood why the other was so excited and nervous!
"Su, sit down first and have a cup of tea, and I'll explain it slowly."
Dr. Gaia poured a cup of tea for Su Chen and then sat down on the sofa.
Su Chen also felt that he was being a bit too agitated and chuckled, sitting down next to Dr. Gaia.
"Su, you know, for Gene Modifiers, the focus is on genetic manipulation. So, I started looking for a solution in this area."
Dr. Gaia began to explain to Su Chen:
"For us, the relatively simple part is that we only need to destroy their existing genetic structure, and we don't need to rebuild genes like the Skull Society does. Destruction is naturally much simpler than reconstruction."
"That means we have to find a way to modify those altered genes again, which would completely break the previous structure, rendering those Gene Modifiers utterly useless!"
"Gaia, you truly are a genius!"
Hearing this, Su Chen couldn't help but exclaim in admiration and then asked:
"So, have you found that method now?"
"Actually, I've had this method for a while now, but because it wasn't universally applicable, I didn't tell you."
Dr. Gaia nodded in affirmation.
"There are medical precedents where a bone marrow transplant can cause a person's genes to change. So, couldn't we also use bone marrow implantation to cause a second change in the genes of the Gene Modifiers? Wouldn't that disrupt the sequence of genes they've manipulated?"
Su Chen felt his heart almost leap out as he stared intently at Dr. Gaia.
"Then we conducted experiments and found that it was indeed effective!"
Dr. Gaia had not let Su Chen be happy for a moment before he continued,
"However, as mentioned before, there's a problem. It's not universally applicable, after all, bone marrow is used for life-saving purposes in hospitals!"
"To take on those Gene Modifiers, we certainly won't need just a small amount, and if we run into this issue again in the future, we won't have a solution."
Hearing this, Su Chen nodded as well. Bone marrow was not like other things, it was too precious. He could not possibly do something that violated human ethics.
His initial confrontation with the Skull Society was precisely because they had committed actions against fundamental human ethics. How could he possibly engage in such acts to prevent their behavior?
In the face of such major ethical dilemmas, his personal grievances and conflicts with Tang Gang were secondary.
"But now? This problem has already been solved by us!"
Dr. Gaia made a wry smile upon seeing Su Chen's expression darken.
"Dr. Gaia, have you started picking up bad habits after coming to Huaxia, learning to tease people now?"
Upon hearing this, Su Chen's eyes immediately brightened, and he glanced at him, saying,
"It's thanks to the scientists you brought to me. They not only greatly improved my efficiency but also provided the solution to this problem," Dr. Gaia continued.
"One of the scientists suggested that since real bone marrow is not universally applicable, we could try to mimic it. If we can figure out what element in bone marrow induces genetic change, we could definitely create a 'bone marrow-like' substance. By injecting it, we could change the genetic sequences of those Gene Modifiers!"
"After repeated research, we finally identified the elements in bone marrow that truly induce genetic change, and we have created an effective product based on them."
At that point, Dr. Gaia stood up and said,
"Come with me to the lab, I'll show you."
Su Chen immediately agreed, and then followed Dr. Gaia to the laboratory. Of course, before entering, both had to change their clothes and go through a series of preparatory steps.
Once everything was ready, the two entered the heavily secured laboratory. Inside, several scientists were busy working. They simply nodded upon seeing Gaia bring in an unfamiliar young man, without uttering a word.
In the laboratory, people preferred not to speak unless necessary, so as not to disturb others.
Dr. Gaia, wearing his lab garb, led Su Chen to a safe and then opened it, taking out a small bottle and handing it to Su Chen.
"This is one of the products we've made. Injecting it into the Gene Modifiers will change their genetic sequences," Gaia explained in a low voice.
Su Chen couldn't help but look at the bottle, inside of which was a milky-white paste.
"However, this has only been produced recently and is not quite stable, so we're urgently working to improve it," Dr. Gaia said again.
"How long will that take?" Su Chen handed the bottle back to Dr. Gaia and asked.
"About one to two months."
Dr. Gaia pondered a moment before responding.
"Then good, work as quickly as you can!"
Su Chen nodded, feeling relieved that a solution was in sight...
He couldn't help but sigh with relief, grateful for the risk he had taken in personally going to Africa to rescue Dr. Gaia...
