Chapter 296: Chapter 296: Once in a Lifetime Series
"Genetic evolution, could it be possible for us to witness the emergence of this technology in our lifetime?" A Tsinghua professor couldn’t help but be moved to tears.
Though "genetic evolution" is just four words, it always seemed unattainable in their eyes. But now, hearing Major General Xiang Dong say Jiang Cheng is already preparing to publish related theories, doesn’t that mean clinical trials are not far off?
Of course, they didn’t know that Jiang Cheng had long since completed the final version of the Genetic Evolution Potion, and had even developed an intermediate version of the Genetic Evolution Potion. If they knew, they would be almost stunned on the spot.
Genetic evolution is, after all, a technology that is a whole era ahead, and these people simply cannot comprehend its principles. After all, they are still at the stage of studying atomic resolution structures. If truth be told, genetic modification technology might take several decades to manifest.
Jiang Cheng looked at Principal Wu and smiled: "Regarding the theory of the Genetic Evolution Potion, I am prepared to publish it in some time. As for the clinical trials of the Genetic Evolution Potion, they have long been completed, and it’s estimated that it will soon be launched to the market.
As soon as Jiang Cheng finished his sentence, the entire laboratory fell into silence. Everyone around was contemplating what kind of impact the Genetic Evolution Potion would have on this world if it truly came to market.
They didn’t know the specific effects of the Genetic Evolution Potion, but they could imagine that since it is called the Genetic Evolution Potion, it would certainly bring significant changes to the human body. If Genesis Technology Company really launched such a potion, what changes would occur in the world?
They had no idea!
The atmosphere was frozen in silence for a long time until Principal Wu finally spoke. He shook his head and sighed, "Since he’s a genius, he will surely bring great change to this world, so there’s nothing to be surprised about. Jiang Cheng, follow me, let’s visit the Material Science School. Our Material Science School recently has a topic about graphene that needs your insight."
Under the guidance of Principal Wu, the group left the School of Life Sciences and drove to the Material Science School of Tsinghua University.
In the Material Science School, Jiang Cheng and Principal Wu, among others, explored the research Zhu Hongwei’s team was conducting on graphene applications.
As for the applications of graphene, Jiang Cheng was certainly not a stranger. After helping the project team make significant progress, Jiang Cheng and Major General Xiang Dong left the Material Science School.
Time passed quickly, and it was soon evening. After having dinner at a nice hotel with Principal Wu and others, Jiang Cheng and Major General Xiang Dong bid farewell to the leadership of Tsinghua University.
Sitting in the back seat of the Audi with Major General Xiang Dong, Jiang Cheng looked at Beijing’s night scene outside the window and couldn’t help but frown deeply.
Then, he took out his customized transparent phone, checked the weather situation in the Imperial Capital, and shook his head repeatedly. The weather conditions in the Imperial Capital were prominently displayed on his phone screen.
Smog orange alert signal.
Jiang Cheng stared blankly at the scenery outside the car window. In the Imperial Capital under an orange alert for smog, visibility was extremely low. Only faintly could he see the neon lights in the distance, and the Audi driver obviously couldn’t clearly see the road ahead, the car’s speed had noticeably decreased.
Looking out the window, it felt like being blind, the world between heaven and earth was a chaotic blur, the neon lights in the distance were flickering incessantly, yet appeared only as a hazy blur, and even the colorful buildings across the street had only vague outlines.
The Imperial Capital shrouded in smog seemed to have entered another world.
This scene couldn’t help but remind Jiang Cheng of a micro-novel circulating online about the smog in the Imperial Capital.
"Someone came to the Imperial Capital and asked me why people from the Imperial Capital are so arrogant. I silently took a deep breath and smiled as I looked at him.
He wasn’t convinced, stubbornly imitating me. He, too, took a deep breath.
Lived to be 36 years old.
This micro-novel, albeit a bit exaggerated, indirectly points out the dangers of smog.
Smog is toxic, a pollutant that easily induces cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, and also causes immense harm to the human respiratory tract. Living frequently in smoggy weather will inevitably cause unavoidable harm to a person’s health.
Jiang Cheng’s distracted gaze from the window didn’t escape Major General Xiang Dong’s notice. He glanced out the window as well and sighed, "You’ve probably heard of the smog in the Imperial Capital. It’s just like this, quite a normal occurrence. Sigh, severe smog weather not only forces highways to close but also causes some schools to suspend classes, and those working in offices often complain bitterly. But what can we do? We are utterly helpless to truly control the smog."
"Indeed." Jiang Cheng nodded, continuing, "The Imperial Capital has developed to this extent, and even with odd-even license plate restrictions and other measures, it barely scratches the surface. With the industrial development in the three northeastern provinces reaching this level, there really is nothing substantial that can be done to impose significant limitations in this regard now."
Jiang Cheng’s words were spot on, causing Major General Xiang Dong to nod incessantly.
Though the citizens truly loathe the smog, what can the state do? Once development reaches a certain level, these problems naturally arise. Is it really that easy to significantly resolve industrial pollution and reduce car exhaust emissions?
If it were that easy, the problem of smog wouldn’t give the state such a headache.
But heh, from what you’re saying, do you have a solution?" Major General Xiang Dong, thinking about the smog problem, half-jokingly asked with a somewhat troubled expression.
But what he didn’t expect was Jiang Cheng actually took his words seriously and, looking earnest, said: "Solving the smog shouldn’t be too big of a problem, right.
"Solving the smog shouldn’t be too big of a problem, right."
Jiang Cheng said with a serious face, his eyes looking out the window, as if contemplating a solution to the smog.
His casual remark stirred up great waves in Major General Xiang Dong’s heart. Major General Xiang Dong felt he might have misheard, immediately asking again in disbelief, "Jiang Cheng, do you really have a way to solve the smog?"
Solving the smog.
Just four words, but these four words have been a long-standing national pain.
Because of the smog, the country’s competence had been questioned by many netizens. In recent years, there have frequently been many jokes about smog online. Although relevant departments are aware of the severity of the smog issue, they are helpless.
The natural elimination of smog mainly relies on two methods: either dispersing it by wind or bringing it down to the ground with rain. Some environmental departments and scientists have followed this approach to remove smog, but even after years of research, the results are minimal at best.
