Chapter 1704: 414: Familiar Stranger_3 Chapter 1704: 414: Familiar Stranger_3 What a pity…

Professor Alnwick looked at Viola Thompson again, then asked, “Professor Thompson, in your opinion, what consequences would arise if Piloy insists on completing the experiment?”

“After the genetic mutation, the consequences will be irreversible,” Viola Thompson said, her face devoid of any jest. “At that point, anything could happen.”

Professor Alnwick narrowed his eyes.

No experiment comes with absolute success.

Before the results of the experiment were out, no one could accurately predict the consequences.

Yet Viola Thompson was so adamant.

What evidence did she have?

Viola Thompson continued, “Professor Alnwick, I have said all that I wanted to say about this experiment. The decision is yours, but… I must remind you, there’s no antidote for regret. Once you decide to collaborate, you must share both honor and disgrace.”

No matter the outcome, success or failure, Alnwick must bear it together.

Alnwick paused and did not immediately respond to Viola Thompson’s statement.

Delridge, standing beside, was also deep in thought.

Three days ago, Professor Casla had proposed that the two laboratories collaborate and share the results.

This was a no-lose proposition for Professor Alnwick.

But suddenly, Alnwick heard about Viola Thompson’s warning to Casla and was caught in a dilemma.

If Casla and the others completed the experiment, it would surely cause a global sensation.

After all, the famous scientist Dale Thomson had died of Parkinson’s disease,

and many celebrities were also afflicted with Parkinson’s.

If Casla Laboratory could really develop a miracle drug that changes genes, it would be yet another miracle for all mankind.

Having reached this point in the conversation, Alnwick knew that nothing he said would be useful. “Professor Thompson, I’ll think about this matter and discuss it separately with Professor Casla later. Let’s go to the cell culture room now, and I’ll need your help to guide those young novices.”

At the end, Alnwick made a gesture of invitation.

Viola Thompson stepped forward.

…

After Viola Thompson left, Alnwick managed to see Casla.

Casla looked at Alnwick, somewhat eagerly asking, “Professor Alnwick, have you made up your mind?”

At the peak of the experiment and aspiring for vast human and material resources, collaborating with Alnwick would be an added advantage.

Thus, Casla was truly anxious, almost wishing he could sign the contract with Alnwick in the next second.

Hearing this, Alnwick looked up leisurely and spoke, “Professor Casla, regrettably, I am afraid I cannot participate in this great experiment with you.”

After pausing, Alnwick added, “I also urge you to reconsider whether to continue with this experiment. As a scientist, we must not only complete experiments but also be responsible for all mankind.”

Upon hearing this, Casla was stunned,

because he had a pleasant conversation with Alnwick three days ago.

But now, just seventy-two hours later, Alnwick seemed like a completely different person.

Casla narrowed his eyes and looked at Alnwick, “May I ask why?”

Alnwick smiled, “We are also quite busy right now, truly more than we can manage. Plus, I’ve carefully studied your experimental approach, and it actually harbors many risks. If it leads to genetic mutation, the consequences could be unimaginable; therefore, I advise you to think it over as well.”

Casla was somewhat reluctant.

Without a partner, the progress of the experiment would be slowed down.

He was even less willing to lose such a high-quality experimental partner like Alnwick.

“Professor Alnwick, I still hope you would reconsider.”

Alnwick shook his head, “I think we should not reconsider anymore.”

Casla sighed.

Alnwick stood up from his chair, “Professor Casla, we may collaborate another time. I have to go now.”

Casla also stood up to see Alnwick off.

As they walked out, Delridge looked at Alnwick, “Professor, are you really sure about your decision?”

Although Delridge greatly admired Viola Thompson,

he always felt she was being overly cautious this time.

A moment later, Delridge added, “Once Professor Casla’s experiment is completed, we won’t have an antidote for regret.”

“Have you thought about what we would have to bear if it fails?” Alnwick replied.

Delridge narrowed his eyes, “But the purpose of an experiment lies in its results. If we fear the results and do not start at all, we are already betraying our core principle as researchers!”
