Carrying a Jurassic on me-Chapter 1270 - 626: Make a Small Contribution

"Researching cloning technology for cattle, huh!" Yan Fei blurted out when Teacher Wang asked what he intended to study.

This left Teacher Wang and the middle-aged man speechless. Why don’t you say you’re researching how to land on the sun? You think we don’t know that your lab doesn’t even exist yet?

Teacher Wang fell silent for a moment, organizing his thoughts before speaking, "Comrade Yan Fei, the thing is, your lab has just started, hasn’t it? Embarking on such a significant topic right away isn’t very feasible, is it? I think you should start with the basics..."

"Right, that’s exactly what I was thinking." Yan Fei wore a look as if to say, ’You truly understand me’. "I have it all planned out. For the initial stage, I’ll focus on how to fatten up the yellow cattle, then research how to produce better beef jerky, as well as prevention and treatment of common bovine diseases. Once all that’s settled, I’ll move on to major topics, like cloning yellow cattle. By that time, I can clone them one by one, and I won’t need to raise cattle anymore, right? I’ll just run a cloning cattle farm..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Teacher Wang and the middle-aged man were in no mood to listen to his ramblings. They interrupted him while he was dreaming of the future. "Comrade Yan Fei, do you have some misconceptions about cloning technology? Even cloned cattle start from embryonic tissue and grow little by little."

"Oh?" Yan Fei seemed puzzled. "Isn’t it like putting a cow in, cloning it, and then you get two from one, four from two... and then you can just butcher them, with the meat quality all the same..."

"..." Teacher Wang deeply felt that perhaps his guise as a teacher, used as a cover for too long, had dulled his mind, unable to keep up with the conversation. Why was this talk so hard to continue today?

If anyone had that kind of cloning technology, to be inhumane about it, they could clone an army of suicide squads, hand out a kitchen knife to each, and they ought to unify the Earth!

The middle-aged man at least had some common sense. Even though they were like ordinary people most of the time and only operated on special missions under exceptional circumstances, they weren’t really like common fishermen, Caring about nothing but how many fish they caught and how much money they made.

Seeing that Teacher Wang was at a loss for words, he quickly explained, "Comrade Yan Fei, this cloning technology..."

Yan Fei listened attentively with the air of a disciple eager to learn, and after a while, he finally acknowledged, "Seems I oversimplified things. So that’s how it is! Right, you asked what my lab is researching—are you planning to do something with that information?"

"Uh..." Only then did the two remember that they weren’t there to teach Boss Yan a lesson, there were more pressing matters!

More pressing matters?

Teacher Wang again composed his thoughts, "Actually, Boss Yan, even if you want to research cloning technology, it’s not certain your lab could make use of this high-resolution dual-focus mass spectrometer. And about the device, how should I put it—I know a lab that urgently needs this device and I was wondering if you’re considering selling it?"

"Ah? Is that so?" Yan Fei, stroking his chin, began eyeing the device.

After a long look, under the watchful eyes of the two men who were expecting a response, he finally asked, "You’re not fooling me, are you?"

"No, no," Teacher Wang quickly assured. "After all, you know people on the inside with us, could we really deceive you? If you find out I’ve lied to you, you can do whatever you want to me!"

It wasn’t without reason that their attitude was so obliging; they had already inquired with Chief Pi. They knew that Yan before them was not only extremely powerful but was also a bit of a force locally as a businessman.

The two had no doubt about his strength; those crates had originally been nailed shut, and this man opened them barehanded without damaging the crates. They had secretly tried themselves, only to realize these were not jerry-built projects.

Being a potent businessman was also unquestionable. Would an average small company or business possibly spend the money to build a lab?

Furthermore, Boss Yan’s young age was a bit intimidating. Although he seemed to play the fool, these two knew what it meant and had figured it out long ago, just that it wasn’t appropriate to spell things out at the moment. After all, Chief Pi had vaguely hinted at some of the things Yan had done before, advising them to avoid provoking him if possible.

After all, everyone knows that it’s best not to offend a promising young man with a bright future. So what if they operated in special operations? Sometimes they also needed support in various ways, and if they could maintain a good relationship, why make enemies?

And right now, the matter at hand seemed quite simple to them. Maybe the equipment reseller was careless or didn’t know the ropes, thinking they had found a dupe and packed off a piece of genuinely advanced equipment as if it was scrap and sold it secondhand to this guy.

Hearing Teacher Wang’s assurance, Yan Fei thought for a moment and then questioned, "Teacher Wang, I’m not highly educated, so don’t you fool me. You seem rather eager for this device—is it because it’s quite advanced, maybe something from abroad that’s under embargo? Can you tell me its actual value?"
