#658 - Chapter 658: It hurts! It hurts like breaking a solid wooden table! Why didn't she stop
Admittedly, the human genome contains tens of thousands of genes, and we are only just getting started, but… this is a leap from 0 to 1!
It is a crucial step in the entire human evolution!
How important is that?
The entire laboratory erupted in excited cheers.
Those fortunate enough to participate in the project will leave a most significant mark on history!
"Give me the drug to test," Chen Hao said.
"Ah?!"
The cheers came to an abrupt halt.
Everyone looked at him in surprise.
Zhao Jianfeng was first stunned, then hurriedly said, "Chairman Chen, this… it's not entirely certain yet, such as the side effects, I'm worried…"
Letting Chairman Chen be the first test subject?
Absolutely not!
"I participated in the entire process."
Chen Hao shook his head and chuckled, "If I didn't even have this much confidence, wouldn't these past few months have been a waste of time?"
Without absolute certainty, would he act as a 'guinea pig'?
"No!"
Suddenly!
A voice rang out.
Xia Qingmo ran into the laboratory, "I'll do it!"
The gene project has multiple groups, responsible for different areas of research and development. Xia Qingmo, from the pharmaceutical group, heard the news of the success from the lab and immediately ran over—just in time to hear her boyfriend was going to be a guinea pig.
"Qingmo, it's okay, I'm confident…" Chen Hao said quickly.
"No!"
Xia Qingmo was more resolute than ever before.
She rolled up her sleeves, "I'll do it!"
"Qingmo…"
"Listen to me this time, okay?"
"…"
Chen Hao's lips moved, but in the end, he only nodded silently.
He knew that his wife was worried about the uncontrollable risks of the new technology.
Just like in his previous life, at the moment of danger, she exchanged her life for his.
In this life.
He has a higher status, bearing the future of China.
She would never allow him to take risks!
Of course, the reason Chen Hao agreed to let her inject it was because he had absolute confidence in the technology.
Xia Qingmo stubbornly shook her head.
Theoretically, Chen Hao's willingness to let her try it without hesitation shows that he has absolute certainty, and there really shouldn't be any danger.
But…
Better safe than sorry!
Even if there is a one in ten thousand risk…
It doesn't matter if something happens to her.
Even if something happens to any other person in China, it wouldn't be a big deal to the vast country.
Only him.
Must not have any accidents!
In the end, Zhao Jianfeng couldn't persuade Chen Hao and prepared the medicine to hand it to him.
Unlike ordinary drugs, it is not a medicine in the conventional sense: it is a brand new substance jointly integrated by computer, pharmacy, and gene technology, which edits genes after being injected into the human body.
Zhao Jianfeng couldn't persuade Chen Hao and gave him the drug.
Chen Hao couldn't persuade his wife.
He carefully wiped it with an alcohol swab, "Qingmo, after the injection… it will be quite painful."
"It's okay, I can bear it."
"…"
Chen Hao nodded silently.
The needle pierced.
Injection!
The process took only a few seconds.
Just after the injection, Xia Qingmo was stunned, "It doesn't hurt."
Suddenly!
As soon as she finished saying those three words, a stinging pain began to spread from the injection site to all parts of her body, "It really… does hurt…"
Pain!
It was as if many small needles were piercing her entire body!
Fortunately, the pain was still within the range of tolerance, and it did not last for a long time.
"How is it?" Chen Hao asked quickly.
"It's okay…"
Xia Qingmo clenched her silver teeth, "The pain disappears quickly… Don't worry."
The pain in a certain part did last for a very short time, but the effect of the medicine had to cover the whole body.
After the pain here, it hurt there again.
It was that kind of back-and-forth.
How long would it take for the medicine to spread throughout the body?
At least a few minutes!
While comforting Chen Hao not to worry, she really couldn't bear the pain, and sitting on the chair, she subconsciously grabbed a table in front of her.
This was a conditioned reflex.
Especially painful, but not wanting to be seen by others, in the process of enduring…
She would subconsciously use all her strength to grab something around her, as if it could alleviate the pain.
Crack!
A crisp sound.
The corner of the solid wood laboratory table was actually broken off!
A group of scientists were dumbfounded.
This…
What a joke?
A delicate little girl with thin arms and legs obviously had no strength, how could it be possible… Not to mention a girl like Xia Qingmo, even a strong man with amazing grip strength would find it difficult to break off a solid wood table corner!
"…"
Xia Qingmo herself was startled.
Look at the corner that was broken off.
And look at her own hand.
Can a hand be as hard as solid wood? Is it broken? Is it fractured?
Looking at it…
Her palm was only red, without any scars.
This is the effect of genome number 13772.
Strength and physical toughness!
…
Ten minutes later.
The pain finally subsided to the point of disappearing, and Xia Qingmo was sweating profusely from the pain.
"Qingmo, in the next period of time, you need to record your data," Chen Hao said softly.
"I understand," she nodded.
How could she not understand the basic common sense of pharmacy?
After a new drug is used, it must be observed, and a series of detailed data must be recorded through various instruments.
"Go take a shower," Chen Hao smiled.
"Yeah!"
"Come!"
Chen Hao stretched out his arm towards Zhao Jianfeng, "Give me the injection."
"Ah?!" Zhao Jianfeng was stunned.
"No…"
Xia Qingmo was about to leave, but hurriedly turned back, "No! You have to wait for my side, after the monitoring data comes out, to make sure it's okay before…"
She was willing to be this 'guinea pig' for him.
But!
Absolutely not allow him to take risks!
"How long will that take?" Chen Hao asked her with a smile.
"It will take…"
She couldn't answer.
That's right!
How long do you have to observe to know if there are any side effects?
Ten days?
A month?
What if it wasn't a short-term side effect?
Maybe it will only appear in ten or eight years?
Even, if there are really certain side effects, not everyone will have them, will there be a probability problem?
Do you have to wait for countless people, until they are observed to old age, before determining whether there are any side effects?
It's not realistic!
"But…" She didn't know how to refute.
"Qingmo."
Chen Hao pulled her to the corner, leaned close to her ear and whispered.
Shua!
In an instant, the girl's face turned red, and she ran away as if flying.
Chen Hao returned and stretched out his arm, "Inject it."
"Miss Xia… Why did she suddenly stop stopping you?" Zhao Jianfeng looked dazed.
"What's it to you?"
Chen Hao glared at him, "Inject it quickly!"
That was a secret between the young couple, how could he tell an outsider?
With the relationship between Chen Hao and Xia Qingmo, not to mention Zhao Jianfeng… everyone else was an outsider!
Some words, only the young couple can say, even parents can't say.
What did he just say?
He only said one sentence: Wife, you are so strong now, if I don't inject it, I will be sat to death by you.
So.
Xia Qingmo ran away in shame.
It can be regarded as acquiescence.
I can't…
Wait until many years later, after confirming that the drug has no side effects, before Chen Hao goes to inject it, right?
The young couple usually have to be careful when they are intimate, even when they hug?
