Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam? - Chapter 446
446 Deciding the Time for His Parents’ Injection
“The three development pathways that have been established are respectively serum enhancement, gene remodeling, and local enhancement equipment. This is the direction we have chosen together. As for the detailed implementation plan, I’ll discuss it with Comrade Wu Mo alone.”
After concluding his speech, the old chief leisurely sat back in his seat.
“Not long ago, the outside world couldn’t stop talking about China’s genetic research despite our best efforts to deny everything. But what they used to say isn’t true anymore.
“What do you think, Comrade Wu Mo?”
“They were right,” Wu Mo replied frankly.”
In the past, China hated the suppression of firepower, hated its enemy’s air of superiority, and hated those who were armed to the teeth.
However, times had changed, and China had gradually become what it once hated.
Not only were the soldiers well-equipped, but they had also developed the world’s leading fighter jets, vigorously promoted firepower suppression tactics, and even invested in genetic research, leading the world.
Wu Mo’s view was very simple. Since you said that we are engaged in genetic research, then we will do as you wish and devote ourselves to genetic research.
As the meeting was coming to an end, an officer could not help but ask, “Chief, comrades, genetic research has been resisted by many countries around the world. If we go deep into it, it may cause a bad impact.”
As soon as this question came out, many people fell into deep thought.
Actually, everyone had an answer to this question, including Wu Mo. It was just that he had never taken the initiative to mention it.
This was because everyone understood that they had to take the first step. If they encountered any difficulties, they would think of a way to resolve it.
However, since the question had been raised, they could not turn a blind eye to it.
Wu Mo had already prepared himself for this question. He quickly raised his hand to indicate that he was willing to answer.
The old general immediately let him speak.
“My fellow colleagues, we really don’t have to worry too much about this problem.”
“Just like the weather regulator, what we are researching is not genetic weapons, but methods to treat genetic-related diseases.”
“How can academic research be reduced to a weapon?”
“I believe everyone here agrees with my views on aging and mortality.”
” Since these have been defined as diseases, we are obviously looking for a cure, not a so-called military weapon.”
Wu Mo’s tone was calm, and his face did not turn red.
Even the senior officers present couldn’t help but feel a sense of respect.
What a young and promising officer!
Wu Mo’s performance reminded everyone of a saying: The person controlling the battle tactic would definitely have a dark heart.
Everyone laughed.
“Little Wu, you’ve improved so quickly!
“Sigh, looks like I have to work harder to keep up with you, Little Wu.”
“Well said, aging and death are just diseases. Our goal is to cure them, not to use military weapons.”
“Yes, the so-called strengthening serum and so on are just health supplements.”
“I agree!”
The old chief, Wu Mo, and the others quickly reached a consensus. According to Wu Mo’s logic, Life First was nothing more than a health supplement.
The strengthening serum was just a better and more lasting fitness pump.
As for the physique-strengthening equipment, it was not a military weapon. It was just a massage chair that was more thorough, powerful, and extensive.
As the meeting came to an end, Wu Mo realized that he had gradually become the person he once hated.
Everyone left in an orderly manner. Just as Wu Mo was about to stand up and bid farewell, the old chief gently gestured.
Wu Mo understood and continued to sit still.
After the crowd dispersed, the old chief slowly said, “Little Wu…”
Wu Mo immediately straightened his posture and listened.
“It was mentioned in the meeting just now that your parents are old and should retire. However, they were the first to use Life First. In that case, there was no need to retire. Therefore, after they used Life First, their retirement time would be appropriately delayed.”
This was good news for Wu Mo.
Although the Wu family lived a carefree life, Mr. Wu had a tough personality. He was naturally uneasy about living on Wu Mo’s salary.
If he continued to work, he could avoid this awkwardness.
This was also a special case, just like how Wu Mo was promoted to a Pillar-rank officer.
“Chief, thank you for considering my family’s situation.”
Wu Mo bowed to express his gratitude.
He might be the developer of Life First.
However, as a top-secret project, he could not give it to whoever he wanted.
Every time Life First was used, it had to go through various levels of approval.
Originally, Wu Mo thought that his parents would need to wait a few months before they could use it.
He did not expect the surprise to come so quickly!
“You deserve it. You have contributed to the country and should be rewarded. I hope that you can reach a higher level in the military industry.”
“To a certain extent, you are also my savior. This is what I should do.”
This sentence was too humble, and Wu Mo could not accept it.
“Old Chief, you’ve done your best for the country, so I should do my best!”
The two of them smiled knowingly and did not continue this subject.
Before leaving, the old general told him a piece of news. “Your parents will be using Life First within ten days.”
“The location will be at the Institute of Special Biology. You can accompany me when the time comes.”
“You can inform your parents now and tell them to be prepared. In addition, someone will contact you about this matter.”
Wu Mo nodded and expressed his gratitude again.
After the two of them parted ways, Wu Mo sent the old general off and returned to the Institute of Special Biology.
When Wu Mo arrived at the research institute, he had already informed his parents of the news.
…
The neighbors along the way greeted him warmly.
The residents of the settlement all knew that Wu Mo was a military officer, but they did not know his specific rank, let alone that he had become a Pillar-rank officer.
In addition to Wu Mo’s first-class merit, the neighbors treated the Wu family kindly and supported each other on weekdays.
After greeting them, Mr. Wu came to the front of the house and carefully checked the plaque which said, “Home of First-class Meritorious Officials,” to see if it was stained.
After confirming that everything was fine, he opened the door and returned home.
Putting down his briefcase, Wu Mo’s father lay comfortably on the couch.
“Honey, what’s good for dinner tonight?” Mrs. Wu, who was busy in the kitchen, replied.
“Let’s eat corn rib soup tonight. Seriously, you only care about food when you come back every day. You’d better watch yourself before you become a pig.”
“Haha, then I have to thank my beloved wife!”
“Alright, alright, stop showing off. Wash your hands and eat.”
As she spoke, Mrs. Wu brought out a pot of steaming hot corn rib soup.
Just as she was about to eat, Mr. Wu’s phone rang.
He picked up his phone and saw that it was a video call from Wu Mo.
Mr. Wu immediately picked up.
Wu Mo rarely took the initiative to contact his family. He would only occasionally call during holidays or Mrs. Wu would take the initiative to call to strengthen the family ties.
Now that Wu Mo took the initiative to call, Mr. Wu was naturally overjoyed.
He put down his chopsticks and quickly picked up the phone.
