Chapter 585: Ancient Sages Left Fires, Today, Su Yun Becomes a Saint! (4)
Su Yun’s words closed the distance between him and the people watching the speech. It also made the students who had scoffed at the content of the speech perk up. They sat up straight, curious to see what Su Yun would say next.
“Students, everyone should know about the Geneticist incident that has been causing a commotion outside recently. It was undeniable that the Genetic Era had truly arrived. With the advent of the genetic era, many of the things we know will change. I know that there are concerns about whether the current learning system and social system will be impacted in the future.
“There were also people who were worried that an international conflict would erupt with the arrival of the geneticist era. There were also people who were worried that the appearance of geneticists would do more harm than good to human civilization. After all, not everyone was suitable for genetic modification. I can understand your worries very well. This is also the topic I want to talk to everyone about today.”
When everyone learned that Su Yun’s speech was about geneticists, they immediately focused their attention and looked at Su Yun expectantly. This was what they were really concerned about. There weren’t so many red tape speech rules. There weren’t high-profile, dignified words.
At that moment, Su Yun stood on the podium like an old friend, seriously narrating a topic that everyone was paying attention to. Xu Jiajia stood backstage and looked at Su Yun gently. Her eyes were filled with light, as if at this moment, everyone else had paled in comparison to Su Yun.
Su Yun looked resolutely at the 1,000 plus people below the stage. Under the gazes of so many pairs of eyes, Su Yun still spoke his opinion firmly. “Up until now, our country has yet to publicize the progress of any geneticist experiments. I think this is also the main reason why many people are worried. Every country drove into the fast lane of genetic research like crazy. New research progress appeared almost every day.
“Armed teams composed of geneticists had even joined the ranks of the regular army in various countries. Governments seem to be afraid that they will be one step behind others. In such an environment, our country seems to be too patient. However, there’s a question. 1 wonder if everyone here has thought about it. Are geneticists really that terrifying?”
Everyone below the stage fell silent. Everyone’s eyes were filled with doubt.
Clearly, they did not understand what Su Yun was trying to say. The entire Hibiscus City University fell into a dead silence. Other than Su Yun e s voice, even the wind stopped bloyxing. There were also many students near the man-made lake. They looked up at the large screen not far away and listened attentively to Su Yun’s next words.
“Let’s not talk about the effects of genetic modification on ordinary people. First of all, I’ve seen many comments online. They’re worried about the arrival of war. They think that China’s research on genes has not made any progress. Will they be unable to keep up with the times and will they be suppressed by various countries around the world?
“To be honest, I think everyone is a little too anxious. Perhaps it is not clear to you that there a_re currently more than 2 million serving soldiers in our country. If the Genetic Era really brought about war, then after fighting these two million people, it would be the moment of life and death for the country and its people. At that time, what should ordinary people like us do?
“l never thought of myself as a hero. On the contrary, I should be considered a timid person. Although I’m more than 20 years old now, sometimes when I walk alone at night, I’ll still panic and need my girlfriend to accompany me.” As Su Yun spoke, he looked at Xu Jiajia. Her face instantly turned red, and she was secretly delighted.
This joke immediately made the atmosphere less tense. There were even many people who laughed kindly. Xu Jiajia, who was standing backstage, also looked at Su Yun with a smile. This gentle gaze was a form of support for Su
Yun.
Looking at everyone, Su Yun also smiled. However, he quickly became serious again. “Even if the war really approaches and the foreign geneticists attack us and the two million soldiers were wiped out, students, we have received patriotic education, read sage books, and swept the tombs of heroes. Some people say that this is brainwashing, but I feel that it would be too boring if we only live to survive.
“l had no intention of coming to this world, but since I was here, if there was a chance, I also wanted to experience the great romanticism of Xin Qiji, Yue Fei, and the hundred thousand soldiers and civilians of Yashan. Faced with such a menacing genetic trend and the possibility of the survival of the nation, we’re just ordinary people. Why not fight?!”
Su Yun stood on the stage, his voice turning from gentle to iron-blooded. The words he expressed were like a heavy hammer that smashed into the hearts of all the students in front of him.
They were also full of revenge for the future and hoped to make something of their country after college. However, the appearance of the geneticists changed their mentality. Some were confused, some were down and out, and some were in despair.
Ultimately, it was because they were afraid. They were afraid that their country would no longer be able to give them confidence. They were afraid that they would be eliminated as ordinary people..
