Chapter 116.1 The Research Fanatic Who Lost His Child (2)
Lin Shiheng informed people of a meeting as soon as he returned.
Although the original owner didn’t clo well in family, there was no denying that he dicl have talent, and the people under him were quite impressed with him. When they hearcl about the meeting. they immediately clropped what they were doing and went to the meeting.
Everyone thought Lin Shiheng had made a new discovery about the current research project. However, when one of them read the paper handed out in the meeting, they were dumbfounded by what was on it.
“National genetic query?”
This name had nothing to do with their current research.
“Yes.”
Lin Shiheng stood in the main seat, with a straight face, “This is the data I’ve been preparing for 10 years. If anyone is willing to work on it with me, we’ll sign a non-disclosure agreement after the meeting."
“The funding has been approved by the higher-ups, so you can read it and consider it for yourself.'
At first, some people were hesitant after reading the title. As they weren’t majoring in this area either, it would be hard for them to put their research aside, and work on this. They weren’t familiar with the field.
But Lin Shiheng was the boss and everyone respected him. They had to read on with respect.
The more they read it, the more the people in the meeting room felt excited.
“Professor Lin, clid you do all these detailed calculations?"
“If it’s really like what you have written, it’s equivalent to entering a new era for China.”
Lin Shiheng looked the same, as if he had expected their reaction, “I’ve already submitted a detailed report and it’s been submitted to the top. Since the funding was approved so quickly, I hope everyone who s willing to participate can decide as soon as possible."
Participate!
They must participate!
They weren’t all research fanatic like Lin Shiheng, even though they were doing this job with the intention of serving the country. But they all had families, and who didn’t want to earn more money?
If this project was realized, they would certainly receive a lot of money afterwarcls, in line with the country’s usual generosity.
The money wasn’t the most important thing either. the most important thing was that it would definitely go down in history. In time, maybe the names of the participants would be in the history books.
This was a big lure for anyone.
By the time the meeting was over, everyone had signed confidentiality agreements, temporarily setting aside their previous research and working overtime to start their work under Lin Shiheng’s guidance.
It was hard to make, at least compared to the technology they had always had. However, the good thing was that Lin Shiheng was there. The group didn’t even go home and kept working every day, eating box lunches for dinner and sleeping on the floor in the lounge.
They were all grown men, so after a few days, they all looked scruffy.
Because of Lin Shiheng’s knowledge, the fact that he had given them a half-finished product, and they only needed to refine it: the large amount of work, which everyone calculated would be done in half a year at most, didn’t take long. After the results were handed in, it didn’t take long for an expert, who could almost be considered their teacher, to arrive.
For them, it was the equivalent of a specialist they had known since childhood. No one felt he was here to take credit either. Instead, they worked harder and harder because the expert was in the room.
Lin Shiheng was in a hurry, almost sacrificing all of his time off to work. No one thought that there was anything wrong with that. After all, everyone in the room was impatient to see the results as soon as possible.
After a month, with everyone working desperately. a better semi-finished product came out. The expert testecl it and went out with a serious look to make a phone call. By the next day, the group of people who were yawning and planning to hit the floor in the lounge saw a line of soldiers standing outside.
Armed with guns and looking solemn. they were all very intimidating.
“It’s fine, go rest.”
When the group of people were scared, Lin Shiheng came out from the baok. He was also very exhausted. After a brief word, he took the lead.
Seeing that the soldiers all remained as they were and didn’t look like they were going to do anything to them, everyone sobered up from the f right and cautiously followed him to the lounge.
Unsurprisingly, some soldiers with guns were also standing at the entrance of the lounge. Under Lin Shiheng’s leadership, everyone walked in. pretending to be calm.
As soon as the door was closed, the group of people immediately had a heated discussion.
They weren’t fools. Who could send soldiers? It must be the government!
Although they knew that what they were doing could make great contributions to their country, seeing the rows of soldiers standing at the door was exciting and frightening at the same time.
The country attached great importance to this matter, The realization added a layer of excitement to the group’s already excited moocl.
From that day onwards, their progress began to accelerate.
After another month and a half, with the blessing of the expert and various prudent practioes by Lin Shiheng, they finally made it.
National Gene Query.
The name sounded quite simple. but in fact, it wasn’t just as the name suggested. that it could only perform genetic enquiries; to be exact. genetic enquiries were just one of the small branches within it.
More importantly, it could protect the entire network within the country of China. While there were eyes in the sky everywhere in China, they could only check the surveillance after something had happened. The ‘National Gene Query’, however, had a certain intelligence, which could shoulder the security of the entire country of China and automatically clistinguish whether there was any violence after connecting to the eyes in the sky.
Once detected, without the need for human intervention, they could directly transmit it to the local police department, where the police would check the surveillance and then quickly take action. If it was a murder case, not only could the murderer be found, but some victims who hadn’t been killed, could also be saved in time.
Not only that, but it could also automatically identify all kinds of information. For example. if a murderer escaped, as long as they were still in China. and their name and picture was entered, it could automatically search all over the country. China’s eye in the sky basically existed everywhere. Unless the other party hid in a ravine for the rest of their life and didn’t come out. or had plastic surgery, the National Gene Query would definitely fincl the person and automatically report them to the local police department.
Apart from that, it had a lot of other features that could be slowly explored. However, these few features alone were enough to transform China.
The history of this small world was a little more backward than the history of the main world that Lin Shiheng was familiar with. Its experiences were similar, but its development was somewhat different from the history of the main world.
As everyone knew. China had experienced a clark time in history. Even though those brave heroes eventually stood up for their country against all odds, the years of devastation still placed their own technology behind than that of other countries.
After years of hard work, the country had prospered and quickly passed through a diffioult period. The people of China no longer had insufficient food and clothing, but in the eyes of some people, it was still the same weak country it was back then. Some Chinese people even developed the idea that the moon outside was bigger than the one in China.
(TNote: the moon outside was bigger than the one at home = the grass is greener on the other side/otherpeople always seem to be in a better situation than you.)
It couldn’t be helped. Everyone wanted to move up the laclder. Some young people who hadn’t experienced those years of oppression couldn’t understancl how diffioult it was for China to develop to where it was now in just a few decades.
The more people engaged in scientific research, the more they saw China’s disadvantage. That was because most people in the country actually compare themselves with their own people. while those engaged in scientific research compare the results of their scientific achievements with those of foreign countries.
This was an awkward period, when China proved that it wasn’t a weak country by its own ability, but it was indeed less powerful than some of the other countries. The initial encounter made China feel very inseoure, so it desperately pursued research.
When it comes to research, it was actually an effort to build something that others had. This didn’t last long. In another decade or so, the new generation in China gradually grew up. Instead of desperately trying to catch up with other countries, they could safely start their own research and shine brilliantly in the international arena.
Now, Lin Shiheng had brought this timeline forward.
For China right now, achieving what other countries don’t have and can’t make’ was a kind of honor. They were too eager to get international recognition, eager to make themselves strong. so that others couldn’t bully them.
And the National Gene Query would allow China contain at least 80% of crimes.
When the time comes, when other countries started to boast about what they could do, China wouldn’t be embarrassed and had things they could also boast about.
The most important thing was that in another 6 months, it would be the Olympic Games. China had persisted in its bid for the Olympic Games for so long, and it had finally succeeded. It was a prosperous time for the whole country. Even if it was to save face, they had to take good care of those foreign friends who were going to come to participate and spectate the games.
It was also important to have foreigners, who had arrived in China. change their preconceptions and realize that China wasn’t the same country as it was back then.
The National Gene Query came at the right time, when other countries didn’t have it. It was also a quick way to get crime rates under control, so no one could blame the country for taking it so seriously.
The test results were submitted, and they had to wait for the connection to the national eye in the sky system. Then, they were entered into the public security system in various regions. Until the results were available, they, the researchers, had to remain under protection, or surveillance, so to speak.
After all, it was a big matter. Everyone showed understanding.
And the main researcher. who had always been quite cooperative, Professor Lin -Lin Shiheng, who also proposed the National Gene Query, raised the idea of going back to visit his family.
In addition, he wanted to use the National Gene Query in advance, to find his lost child.
The news that Professor Lin wanted to go home to visit his family and use the National Gene Query system in advance was handed up, layer by layer. As he was the main researcher and a living genius, the green light was given for Lin Shiheng to go home.
Of course, under the protection of the military.
After all, China still had enemies. Before the Olympic Games came to a perfect end, the government didn’t want any accidents to happen.
