"Under the blade of gene editing lies a truth more terrifying than death."
Lin Zhixia, technical director of the domestic agricultural giant "Hesheng Group", holds the CRISPR technology that will rewrite the fate of human food, but discovers a fatal anomaly on the eve of the commercialization of the project——
The drought-tolerant rice she had been working on for five years actually developed highly toxic glands in the experimental fields in Africa, and every grain of rice became a genetically encoded murder weapon.
What made her even more suffocated was that all experimental logs pointed to her personal signature. Overnight, the academic goddess became an outcast of capital. The only one willing to prove her innocence was her crush Gu Chengzhou, who broke up with her seven years ago due to a "plagiarism case".
The man who had been sent to academic hell by her own hands was now standing in a suit under the spotlight of a competing company.
His fingertips brushed across her experimental table, and there was a calloused palm hidden under the white coat: "Director Lin, you and I are like a pair of mismatched bases."
The U disk he handed over contained the abandoned plan that was destroyed by her mentor during her Ph. D.—It was now being perfectly reproduced on the poisonous rice gene chain.
"What they want is not patents, but control of genes!"
When the medicine in the laboratory spread over her ankles, she finally read the last message he left:
The man wanted by the whole world had carved her DNA sequence into the telomeres of his chromosome 12 seven years ago.
Purpose: The conscience of intellectuals breaks through in the technological craze and explores "whether capital should put a price tag on human genes." Reconstruct the perfect sequence of science and love in misplaced base pairs.
