Chapter 1759: 425: Miss Song's Prediction Comes True_4 Chapter 1759: 425: Miss Song's Prediction Comes True_4 Ignorant people always attempt to change reality with their ignorance.
Ultimately, they pay a heavy price.
Such behavior not only fails to garner sympathy but also induces disgust.
“Professor Thompson, are you so certain that the P*D experiment is a venomous snake ready to bite?”
Viola Thompson slightly smiled, “Whether it is or isn't, what I say doesn't count, and what you say doesn't count either; let's all just wait for the experimental results.”
If it were someone else, being provoked by an ordinary student like this would make them somewhat angry.
But Viola Thompson wouldn't.
She still maintained her calm and composed demeanor.
The questioning female student just stared at Viola Thompson, her face full of surprise, as Viola Thompson's reaction exceeded her expectations.
A moment later, the female student bowed slightly to Viola Thompson, “Thank you, Professor Thompson.”
“You're welcome.”
The female student took her seat again.
The questioning from reporters continued.
“Professor Thompson, you just mentioned that if the P*D Plan isn't controlled properly, it could even become a disaster for all humanity; what kind of disaster are you referring to exactly?”
Not only the reporter was curious about this question; everyone else was too.
Viola Thompson calmly began, “Genetic editing leading to gene mutation, and eventually a virus erupting inside the body, slowly consuming human consciousness until a person is reduced to a walking corpse, also known as a zombie that we often see in movies and TV!”
Zombies!
The previously quiet crowd immediately started to buzz with comments.
“How terrifying!”
“Is this experiment really that horrifying?”
“Does Professor Casla know the results of the experiment?”
Until the lecture ended, the topic of zombies was still revolving in people's minds.
After all, zombies are something that generally only appears in doomsday movies.
If zombies really did appear in reality, what would they do?
Professor Casla also watched this lecture.
After hearing Viola Thompson's words, Professor Casla sat at his desk, silent for a long time.
As a researcher, he knew that genetic editing was no small matter and was aware of the severity of even a minor mishap.
He had considered all possible outcomes.
The only thing he hadn't thought of was zombies.
If this experiment truly risked unleashing a zombie virus, then it indeed was pointless to continue.
Professor Casla rubbed his temples.
A moment later, he stepped out of his study and into the laboratory.
Professor Mason Grant had officially joined the laboratory, and at this moment, he was observing inside the cell culture room with Piloy.
“Please call Piloy over,” Casla said to his assistant.
The assistant nodded, “Of course.”
Soon, Piloy wearing her lab coat arrived.
“Professor, you wanted to see me.”
Casla nodded.
Worry was clearly visible in his brow and eyes.
Piloy knew that this was definitely no simple matter.
Casla continued, “Take a seat, I have something I need to discuss with you.”
Piloy nodded, leaning forward to sit across from Casla.
“Please, speak.”
Casla hesitated momentarily before he began slowly, “Did you watch Professor Thompson's lecture today?”
Piloy shook her head, “I never watch such superficial symposiums.”
They're nothing but bragging, talking about how difficult their journey has been.
Such a waste of time!
Every minute and second in Piloy's life was precious; her time was for conducting experiments, not for squandering.
Moreover, Piloy never believed that the success of the Sight Restorer Plan was solely Viola Thompson's achievement.
It should be attributed to the entire S Laboratory.
Viola Thompson's greatest strength was in recruiting a group of extremely talented researchers.
Everyone in the S Laboratory was top-notch talent.
Professor Casla continued, “You're too biased against Professor Thompson, actually, she is quite an outstanding individual. If you have the time, I suggest you watch her symposium.”
Piloy frowned subtly, “Did you come just to tell me this?”
She was busy indeed!
Casla shared his concerns, “Piloy, do you think that if we forcefully conduct genetic editing, it could cause genetic mutations and eventually lead to a virus outbreak, turning patients into zombies?”
After hearing Viola Thompson's answer, Casla felt very conflicted.
He wanted to complete the experiment and create a world-class miracle.
Yet, he also feared that his experiment might fail.
If it turned out as Viola Thompson had said, leading to a zombie virus, the consequences would be unimaginable.
“Impossible!” Piloy said, looking at Casla and continuing, “Professor, is this what Viola Thompson told you?”
Casla shook his head, “This was Professor Thompson's response to a journalist's question at today's symposium.”
“She's clueless and just stirring up fear!”
Piloy didn't take Viola Thompson's words to heart.
Not just that.
She also felt that Viola Thompson was jealous of her.
Without waiting for Casla to speak, Piloy went on, “Viola Thompson has never been involved in our experiments. How can she judge that there's a problem with our vow based on just a few pages of data? Professor, please be more resolute, don't waver. You are our pillar of support right now. If even you don't trust our experiment, how can we expect others to do so?”
Professor Casla's frown was subtle; he was about to say something when Piloy continued, “There's something you might not know.”
“What is it?” Casla asked curiously.
Piloy added, “Actually, the experimental data I initially gave you weren't complete. At first, I just wanted to test her abilities. To my surprise, she didn't even realize the data were incomplete and just directly dismissed our experimental results! This proves that she's not even a qualified researcher!”
Casla looked stunned, looking at Piloy, “Are you not joking with me?”
“Why would I joke with you about this?” Piloy continued, “Professor, I am even more aware of the severity of a genetic editing failure! Rest assured, I would never joke about the safety of all humanity!”
Zombies?
Viola Thompson really knows how to scare people.
Since the dawn of humanity, there has never been such a thing as zombies.
They are merely creatures from movies and television series.
Piloy looked at Professor Casla, “Professor, all that Viola Thompson is doing is to make us cancel the experiment! If you start to doubt our experiment because of her words, then her scheme will have succeeded!”
Once the P*D Plan is complete, what would the Sight Restorer Plan amount to?
This experiment could directly affect Viola Thompson's life.
Naturally, she would take action because of it!
Hearing this, Casla narrowed his eyes.
What Piloy said made a lot of sense.
Since he had chosen to believe in Piloy, he should stand with her, rather than waver and doubt, as it would also mean distrusting her.
With this in mind, Casla looked at Piloy and asked, “When can we expect the experimental results at the earliest?”
“Very soon,” Piloy didn't directly answer Casla's question but said, “I've already implanted the new genes into the first batch of mice.”
“What's the risk?” Casla asked.
Piloy's face was full of confidence as she answered, “Zero.”
Casla nodded, “I'll wait for your promising results.”
