Chapter 1664: 405: Offend the powerful Chapter 1664: 405: Offend the powerful Upon hearing this, Professor Casla simply stared at Viola Thompson with a look of incomprehension in his eyes.

Terminate immediately?

Why?

They had invested countless financial and material resources since the inception of this experiment.

Yet now, Viola Thompson was suddenly asking him to cease collaboration.

This was somewhat unacceptable to Professor Casla.

Because the experiment was of great importance and could not simply be terminated on a whim.

A moment later, Professor Casla cleared his throat and then said, “Professor Thompson, may I ask why?”

Viola Thompson turned to look at Professor Casla, “Because this experiment involves not only cell division, but also genetic editing. Once it involves genetic editing, it is very likely to encounter situations that we cannot control.”

Such as harmful gene mutations, inheritable gene sequences, if a synthetic sequence was forcibly implanted, it could pose an unpredictable threat to humanity.

Upon hearing this, Professor Casla’s eyes widened.

He hadn’t expected that Viola Thompson could discern the core of this experiment in one glance.

Without waiting for Professor Casla to speak, Viola Thompson continued, “Professor Casla, as experimenters, I think you should be more aware than I am what the consequences of forcing the experiment could be.”

Professor Casla frowned subtly.

A moment later, he continued, “Professor Thompson, since the experiment has not yet been completed, how can you be so certain that it will bring us harm?”

Viola Thompson replied, “In Sinian Country, there is a saying, ‘prevent problems before they occur.’ If we forcefully complete the experiment without understanding the results, who will bear the consequences?”

Upon hearing this, Professor Casla was stunned.

After a moment, he said, “Professor Thompson, I understand your point. But as scientific researchers, we should continuously develop more advanced technologies to benefit humanity.”

“There are many experiments where the results are unknown until they are completed, but we cannot stop experimentation because of these unknown factors.”

If every researcher thought this way, then humanity would not have developed to where it is today!

Many civilizations would have ended before they even began.

At this point, Professor Casla paused and looked at Viola Thompson, “Professor Thompson, you are a top global biologist; whether we can continue this experiment, I hope you will not withhold your valuable insight.”

Viola Thompson went on to say, “Professor Casla, although this experiment is not yet complete, the final result will certainly be unsatisfactory. My only suggestion is to immediately terminate the experiment to cut the losses.”

Upon hearing this, Professor Casla’s face was full of distress, “Professor Thompson…”

The investment in this experiment was just too great.

After all, Viola Thompson was an outsider.

Some things she said might sound simple, just move the lips, but executing them was another matter altogether.

Professor Casla pondered his choice of words in his mind before continuing, “Is there really no other choice but to stop the project?”

Viola Thompson still wore an indifferent expression, “No.”

Professor Casla was still somewhat reluctant, “Professor Thompson, we have been preparing this experiment for nearly ten years; during these years, we encountered many difficulties, but we persisted until now. By suddenly asking us to terminate, I really have no way to explain to them.”

Both to superiors and subordinates.

“Professor Thompson, please help us!”

“As long as you are willing to help us, no matter what you ask me to do, I will not say ‘no.'”
Viola Thompson just stared at Professor Casla, “Professor Casla, I think you still do not understand your own situation. This experiment should never have started in the first place.”

Just at that moment.

Snap!

The door was pushed open from the outside.

It wasn’t just anyone.

It was Peiloy.

Peiloy disregarded the expert, Viola Thompson, and looked at Professor Casla, “Professor Casla, you don’t need to ask others; I am confident I can lead everyone to complete this experiment.”

In Peiloy’s life.

She never trusted anyone.

She only trusted herself.

As for those so-called experts, they knew nothing, only good for theoretical discussions.

If Viola Thompson were a competent researcher, she would not have made such irresponsible remarks.

Ten years of experimentation.

Ten years of dedication!

Others’ ten years of effort, in Viola Thompson’s eyes, simply did not matter.

After all, she could gain everything without doing anything.

Because she had never invested anything, that’s why she could speak so carelessly.

Peiloy had the utmost contempt for such people.
