I accidentally joined a group of charlatans, so I immediately called the police and handed it over t

Base No. 001.

Su Qingge stood in front of the electron microscope, her hands trembling.

The trembling wasn't due to fear, but rather a shudder that transcended the limits of human cognition.

The recorder slipped from his hand and crashed onto the dust-free floor with a sharp, jarring sound.

Chen Xi had just pushed open the laboratory door when he was startled by the sound, his brow twitching.

"What's wrong?"

He strode over, his voice steady and calm, like a pillar of strength.

Su Qingge suddenly turned around.

Her eyes, which were usually rational and indifferent, were now bloodshot, and her pupils were struggling between contracting and dilating violently.

"Chen Xi..."

Her voice was ethereal, as if it might break at any moment.

"We may have opened Pandora's box."

Chen Xi didn't say anything, but simply reached out and put his hand on her shoulder, the warmth of his palm passing through her thin white coat.

"calm."

Su Qingge took a deep breath, as if she were struggling to emerge from drowning.

She pointed tremblingly to the monitor next to the microscope.

On the screen is a set of cerebral cortex scans of mice.

The once dark and silent neural synapses now seem to be holding a grand fireworks display.

They are glowing.

They are growing, connecting, and recombining at a speed visible to the naked eye, building a neural network so intricate it's mind-boggling.

"That's waste that Wenqu Xingjun threw away, the residue of Qizhi Dan."

Su Qingge's voice was still dry, but it couldn't hide her fervor.

"We scraped off a tiny bit of the sample and fed it to this group of mice."

"Ten minutes."

She held up one finger, the tip of which was still trembling slightly.

"In just ten minutes, their brain capacity utilization rate broke through the biologically recognized limit, reaching 15%."

"Moreover, they have learned to cooperate."

Su Qingge pulled up another surveillance video.

In the video, the mice did not fight over food as usual, but instead had a clear division of labor.

One presses the switch, the other catches the falling food particles, and then pushes them to the other two.

In good order.

If you didn't look at them, you would think they were a few human engineers operating an assembly line.

Chen Xi's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints.

He knew all too well what this meant.

This is not medicine.

This is the key to evolution.

It was the lightning that turned the monkey into a human.

"What about the side effects?" Chen Xi's voice was extremely low, with a metallic coldness.

"Current observations... zero."

Su Qingge swallowed.

"After its components enter a living organism, they are rapidly transformed into some kind of...some kind of high-dimensional energy."

"It does not interfere with physiological functions; it only targets the brain."

"It's like replacing an old computer with a quantum CPU."

Chen Xi fell silent.

He stood there for a full minute.

The laboratory was deathly silent, with only the hum of the instruments running, like a countdown.

"Encrypt all data and set the security level to top secret."

Chen Xi turned around abruptly, the hem of his clothes catching a gust of wind.

"Come with me."

"Where to?"

"Go find Old Li," Chen Xi said resolutely.

"Even if the sky falls, I'll make him bear the brunt of this."

The conference room was filled with smoke.

Li Guobang got too drunk last night and still has a splitting headache.

He rubbed his temples, looking at the freshly printed, still-warm lab report in front of him.

A cigarette burned down and burned my finger.

He suddenly woke up and stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray piled high with cigarette butts.

"Chen Xi".

Old Li's voice was hoarse, as if it had been sanded on sandpaper.

"This thing is too domineering."

At the other end of the conference table, several senior experts from the Ministry of Education and neuroscience, who had been brought in overnight by special plane, were looking at the data, their hands trembling.

It wasn't out of anger, but out of fear.

"This is utterly ridiculous! This is playing with fire!"

An elderly academician with white hair took off his glasses, pointed to the brainwave diagram on the report, and his voice trembled.

"Commander Chen, Minister Li, did you see it clearly?"

"The mice's brain activity increased five hundred times instantly! Five hundred times!"

The old academician took a deep breath, his eyes filled with awe for such great power and concern for the mortal body.

"I don't deny that it's a miracle drug, but its effects are too strong!"

"It's like putting aviation fuel into a tractor's fuel tank!"

"The engine will indeed rev very high, but there's a greater chance it will explode!"

"Those are children! Their brains are still developing! Can their nervous systems withstand this nuclear-level energy infusion?"

"This is like asking an infant to lift a thousand-pound cauldron; if they can't, it results in brain death! It means extensive nerve damage!"

"Who dares to take responsibility? If a child's body cannot tolerate the supplements, it would ruin an entire generation!"

The old professor's words plunged the conference room into a deathly silence.

This is the crux of the problem.

The things bestowed by the gods are indeed a game-changer, but precisely because the dimensions are so high, whether mortals can bear such blessings has become the biggest suspense.

Li Guobang didn't speak, but just looked at Chen Xi.

His eyes held inquiry and worry; he was waiting for Chen Xi to provide a fallback plan.

Chen Xi sat opposite him, her hands crossed and resting on her chin, her eyes deep and unfathomable.

He understands the concerns of these experts.

It is human nature to fear divine power.

"I understand the concerns of all the teachers."

Chen Xi took out his phone from his pocket, and the screen lit up, showing a picture.

That was a "product manual" sent by the God of Literature, along with the latest data model that Su Qingge had just calculated.

"Precisely because it is a miracle drug, precisely because its energy density is so high."

"Therefore, we cannot take it as medicine."

Chen Xi pushed his phone to the center of the table, his tone calm and resolute.

"We don't give children whole pills, or even powder."

What we need to do is dilute it.

"A hundred million times dilution."

Chen Xi held up one finger.

"We dissolve it in water and then mix it into the milk used in free nutritional meals for primary and secondary schools across the country."

"Each carton of milk contains even just one molecule of effective ingredient."

"For the God of Literature, that is a speck of dust that can be ignored."

"But for the human brain, this single molecule is the spark that ignites wisdom."

"It will not cause energy overload; it will only gently awaken dormant neurons, like spring rain."

Chen Xi stood up, placed his hands on the table, leaned forward, and scanned everyone present with his eyes.

"Everyone, this is not about forcing growth."

"This is like applying a thin layer of base fertilizer to barren land."

"The West may block many things, but they cannot block the evolution of our brains."

"If any of you here are afraid to take this step because you're worried about not being able to handle the nutrients..."

"Fifty years from now, when our children are still memorizing multiplication tables, while Western children are already calculating interstellar travel trajectories."

"We are the historical sinners who give up eating for fear of choking."

A long period of deathly silence.

The old professor looked at the dilution ratio data and the safety curve simulated by Su Qingge.

That fear of the unknown was gradually replaced by another emotion.

That is the yearning for a grand future where everyone can be like a dragon.

Since the dosage can be controlled at the molecular level, the risk is worth taking!

"Snapped!"

A loud bang broke the silence.

Li Guobang slammed his hand on the table, and the specially made solid wood conference table seemed to shake three times.

He stood up.

Those eyes, which were originally somewhat cloudy from drunkenness, were now as sharp as knives.

"Let's do it!"

Only two words.

It struck like a heavy hammer blow to everyone's heart.

"Didn't our generation suffer so that future generations would be smarter and stronger?"

Li Guobang surveyed his surroundings, his gaze sharp and intense.

"Even if it's a miraculous medicine, as long as it can strengthen the youth of China, we must find a way to tame it!"

"If anything happens, I, Li Guobang, will take the blame!"

Looking at the old man, Chen Xi felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

"What's the code name?" Li Guobang asked.

Chen Xi turned his head and looked at the rising sun outside the window.

The light pierced the darkness, illuminating this ancient and weathered land.

"Project Dawn".
