The imprint of the universe and the return of all things

Section 1. Research Institute Hidden in the City

San Jose City, located in the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area in California, is the third largest city (population) in California and one of the top ten cities in the United States. It is the center of Silicon Valley and is known as the"Capital of Silicon Valley". It is a gathering place for global high-tech companies. There are thousands of top high-tech companies in the region, including world-renowned large high-tech companies such as Apple, PayPal, Intel, Yahoo, ebay、HP、FireFox, Google, etc. are all gathered here.

San Jose has an advantageous geographical location, a pleasant climate, and spring-like weather all year round. The average temperature throughout the year is maintained at around 20C, and there are more than 300 days of sunny weather every year. The air in the city is fresh, the grass is green, and the scenery is beautiful. The whole city gives people a comfortable and leisurely atmosphere. Therefore, it is also praised by Americans as one of the"most popular cities in the United States".

The beautiful living environment, ample employment opportunities, and good innovation atmosphere have attracted outstanding talents from all over the world to devote themselves here with their ideals. This has made San Jose a city filled with elites, rich people, and a middle class with the highest income level in the United States.

However, unlike people working in other big cities, who mostly wear suits and leather shoes and rush around on the streets, the citizens of San Jose dress more casually and are in a more relaxed state. They are full of energy, active in thinking, and more free and open-minded. They have the courage to break secular conventions and advocate subversive creation. Here, there are not only eccentric programmers and fledgling students from prestigious universities, but also all kinds of hardware engineers, product managers, and speculative profit-seeking bankers and lawyers. These people whisper in the bar and chat in the backyard barbecue. Casual chatting, drunken nonsense at a party, and high-pitched talk at a country club may all lead to some creative and fresh ideas.

In the center of San Jose, there is a university with a long history, a vast area and beautiful scenery. This university has a very high reputation and reputation around the world, and has attracted much attention and praise. It is the famous San Jose Institute of Technology.

San Jose Institute of Technology is a comprehensive public university with top academic status, internship opportunities and influence in the world. There are approximately 30,000 students enrolled in it, including hundreds of overseas elite students from all over the world. At the same time, there are also a group of outstanding professors active in the fields of academic theory, scientific research, technological innovation, social services and art. Over the years, it has been selected as one of the best universities in the world with its extremely high employment rate, one of the best graduate salaries in the United States, and its strong diversified academic atmosphere.

Due to its location in the city center, the campus of San Jose Tech University is surrounded by dozens of well-organized streets extending in all directions, as well as dense residential areas that are continuous in a grid pattern. Each square street community is filled with twenty or thirty single-family houses. These houses are lined up in rows and have unique buildings. The entire area has a large number of residents and is very lively. The streets are always busy with traffic and bustling. Even at night, there is still a constant flow of people and bright lights.

The secret research institute established by Hill is hidden in this bustling area. On an ordinary street, in an ordinary community, there are several ordinary houses underground.

There is nothing special about the appearance of those ordinary houses, they just cover a larger area than other houses. They belong to several seemingly unrelated families - one is a couple working in a charity foundation, one is a single employee working in a high-tech company, and the other is a partner of a venture capital fund. One family is the owner of a private security company who has been divorced for many years, and the other is the family of a well-known professor at San Jose University of Technology.

Although the owners of these houses appear to have different identities and backgrounds, they are actually inextricably linked to the Redmoorra Company and its charitable foundations.

Among them, the first three families all declared (consciously or unconsciously to their neighbors) that due to work reasons, they had to travel away from home for many years and rarely came home, so the houses were vacant most of the time. Only the owner of a security company and a professor at San Jose Tech University have lived in the house.

The secret research institute established by Hill was connected by five basements under the five houses, so the location was very hidden. The institute has a solid structure, open space, complete facilities, and a variety of experimental equipment and medical equipment.

Moreover, a security system equipped with artificial intelligence high-tech weapons is installed inside the institute and in the houses on the ground to monitor the external environment and prevent invasion by foreign enemies, providing extremely high security.

The construction of the entire institute and the installation of the security system were personally designed and implemented by Logan Breslin, the owner of the security company. , he is the"security director" of the secret institute and is responsible for the security of the secret institute.

Logan Breslin was a former officer in the FBI's Science and Technology Department and had very professional technical abilities. During his tenure, he had a big conflict due to disagreements with his superiors. He eventually resigned angrily and left the FBI to establish his own security company. Later, when he was contracting a security business for Redmoorola Company, he was appreciated by Hill for his excellent completion of the business, and was recruited by Hill to join the"Universal Cult" and became the leader of the"Universal Cult". Believers, and was entrusted by Hill with the important task of responsible for the important security work of the institute.

The top person in charge of the secret research institute is the famous professor at San Jose University of Technology. He is one of Hill's most core partners.

The professor's name is Daniel Doudna. He is 53 years old and is the dean of the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at San Jose Institute of Technology. His wife, Emma Davis, 48, also works at San Jose Tech University and is the director of the school’s psychological counseling center. The two have a daughter, Amanda, who recently graduated from San Jose Tech and is now an intern at a medical center in San Jose.

Professor Doudna is a well-known expert in the fields of life sciences and gene editing, and plays a pivotal role in the school and professional circles. He is a humble man, highly respected, and has great reputations all over the world. He has educated many outstanding students, and some students have even won important international awards such as the Lasker Award for Medicine and the Wolf Prize for Medicine, and have made extraordinary achievements.

However, despite the numerous talented students under his tutelage, the rising star in biology that Professor Doudna admires the most is Rena, who has no mentoring relationship with him and whose academic achievements and status are not particularly outstanding.

Lena holds a doctorate in neurobiology and genetic engineering from the University of California, San Francisco. She has become famous in the biology world at a young age and is known as an"unruly genius girl."

Her mentor is Adam Rockwell, a well-known authority on genetic engineering. Professor Rockwell often took Reina to participate in some academic exchange activities. Professor Doudna met Reina at an academic seminar. After the two accidentally chatted for a few words during the event, they felt very sympathetic to each other, and then had a very good conversation.

The reason why Professor Doudna looks at Lena differently is not because Lena is particularly talented. After all, there are many students under his disciple who are called geniuses, but because Lena's views on the value of life and biological development are different from others. different.

Professor Doudna feels that most of his students are too reverent for life, their thoughts are restricted by ethics and morals, and they are unable to jump out of the framework of traditional thinking and examine the development direction of biology with a higher level of thinking. Therefore, they will never Neither can develop the ultimate theory of biology. But Lena is different. Her attitude towards life is quite"dissolute" and"child's play". Regarding the development of living things, she only thinks from the most primitive and fundamental perspective without any ideological baggage. This makes her Her thinking is more avant-garde and pioneering, and many of her ideas coincide with those of Professor Doudna.

Therefore, not long after meeting Reina, Professor Doudna resolutely introduced Reina to Hill and invited Reina to join him and Hill's cooperation plan.

After hearing the two people's grand plan, Reina was so excited that she readily agreed without thinking. She knew this plan was what she'd always wanted.

Hill welcomes Lena's joining. Because although Professor Doudna's professional abilities are very reliable, he is old, has limited energy, and is physically weak, so he is not suitable for adventurous activities. In comparison, Reina is young and energetic, making her very suitable to stay by his side and be his helper.

Later, Lena naturally became a member of Hill's team, following Hill to leave the United States and embark on a journey to realize their plan, while Professor Doudna stayed in this secret institute and communicated with Lena regularly through the Internet , assisting Lena in her research on special gene transplantation.

In the past few months, Professor Doudna has gone to work as usual during the day, teaching students at the school, completing various scientific research projects, and handling necessary administrative matters. At night, he plunged into the research institute, endlessly studying and analyzing the information fed back to him by Rena (all kinds of information collected from Raj), and conducted a series of animal experiments based on this information.

Professor Doudna's wife Emma and daughter Amanda are very supportive of him. Emma takes advantage of her position as the director of the psychological counseling center to secretly identify some outstanding students with similar ideas, loyalty and reliability on campus, brainwash them mentally, recruit them to the institute, and make them become the institute's leaders."Staff", who prepare Professor Doudna's experiments and handle various trivial chores.

As an intern, Amanda spends a lot of her spare time every day to help take care of Kajol, a vegetative person brought to the institute from India by Professor Sethi, in order to maintain Kajol's fragile life.

Every day in the institute is in full swing. Everyone worked in an orderly manner and was very busy. But above the institute, the clouds were clear and the wind was gentle, and it looked very peaceful.

Neighbors often see a warm and harmonious picture from the outside: Professor Doudna and his family are loved by students and are hospitable. They often invite students to their home. They like to interact with the students and chat in the room, sometimes even late into the night. Mr. Breslin, who lives next door, has a particularly friendly relationship with Professor Doudna and his family. The two families have close contacts and always move around frequently. Although Mr. Breslin has a burly figure and a fierce face, he looks like a villain, but he is actually a kind and good man. He often visits and cares for the neighbors with some small gifts, and from time to time helps the neighbors repair aging and damaged electrical appliances or homes (actually secretly installing monitors in the neighbors' homes), so in that residential area Won a good reputation.

In San Jose, a city full of weirdos, Professor Doudna and Breslin seem to be perfectly normal, good people. Therefore, since the establishment of the secret institute, no one has ever suspected them, and no neighbor has noticed anything unusual.

-

When Hill and his party were forced to leave Geneva by the schemes of the Xinji Society and the"Black Flame Punishment" alliance in Switzerland, and decided to return to the United States, Hill sent a message to Professor Doudna and Breslin in advance to inform them of this. thing. After receiving the news, Professor Doudna and Breslin quickly made preparations.

When the Giant Life Company's exclusive cargo plane carrying Hill and others arrived at the Norman Mineta San Jose International Airport, it was local evening.

Breslin drove a large truck and lurked inside the airport early. After the Giant Life Company's exclusive cargo plane landed, the employees on board loaded and unloaded the cargo boxes containing Hill and others into the truck driven by Breslin according to the pre-arranged operations. Breslin then left the airport in a truck.

Along the way, Breslin was careful to avoid surveillance cameras on the streets. At the same time, he stopped at hidden places along the way and put on different exterior disguises for the truck to hide it from others. He wandered around in various remote and secret alleys until he was sure that he had left no traces that could be traced by the FBI, and finally drove the car to the research institute.

Professor Doudna and everyone in the institute opened the door of the shipping container with great anticipation to welcome Hill and others. But they were horrified to see that there were only four people in the cargo box."Prophet" Hill had a head injury and was unconscious,"Super Quantum Human" Raj was lying on the ground moaning and listless, and Rena and Anna were both injured. Dirt and dirt.

Upon seeing this, Professor Doudna quickly asked the students to move Hill and Raj to the hospital bed in the institute, and then called his daughter Amanda to treat them both. Emma invited Lena and Anna, who were exhausted physically and mentally, to come to the house to rest.
