Chapter 556 - 248: Is the End of Science Theology? The Surprise from the Feng Shui Spirit Recording Stone! (Part 2)

Extract the DNA of oilseed rape seedlings and use molecular techniques such as SSR or SNP to detect gene-level differences.

Once we obtain the relevant sequences of these oilseed rape seedlings, we can compare them with the sequences of normal oilseed rape seedlings in the database to find out.

For Bao Jing, this is naturally not a difficult task, and he quickly set to work with his students.

Chu Ping also quickly received a report from Chen Kai, so after handling the relevant paperwork, he went straight to the First High School where he found Chen Kai and Bao Jing conducting experiments with students in the lab.

He did not disturb them.

It was only after the experiment ended that Bao Jing came out, and Chen Kai then introduced the two: "Professor Bao, this is our Linhe County’s Chu County."

"Professor Bao, hello!" Chu Ping greeted him very courteously.

"Hello, Chu County." Bao Jing responded.

Chen Kai then urgently asked, "Professor Bao, what’s the result of your tests?"

Bao Jing, excited upon hearing this, said, "Chu County, Director Chen, when we finished testing these oilseed rape seedlings, we found that all gene sequences are the same as normal ones, meaning these are not new varieties."

"But we detected a special substance in the genes of these oilseed rape seedlings. The key is that we cannot identify what this substance is, it’s something that has never appeared before."

Speaking of the special substance, his eyes were full of astonishment.

The unique nature of this special substance was something he had not seen in botany, even seemed unbelievable, without any reference, as if it belonged to another world.

It reminded him of the story about the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable’s prophetic dream.

If it doesn’t belong to this world, then where did this special substance come from?

This idea made him feel incredulous.

Could this be the reason why Newton, Einstein, Professor Yang, and other scientific giants eventually turned to theology?

In fact, these scientific giants who were influential in their eras suddenly turning to theology had always been an unsolved mystery of each era, often puzzling their successors.

Some even said they got senile.

Yet, seeing this special substance that defies scientific laws suddenly appear and hearing tales of the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable’s prophetic dream, the connection inexplicably made his head buzz.

The thought storm threatened to explode his mind.

Chen Kai and Chu Ping exchanged glances, simultaneously thinking of the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable.

Bao Jing noticed their expressions and tentatively asked, "Gentlemen, could we ask the Chen Family what’s going on? It might provide a direction for my research on this special substance."

Chen Kai awkwardly replied, "Professor Bao, if we ask the Chen Family, we’ll only get the answer ’trust in science,’ and nothing more."

Bao Jing continued probing, "Leaders, do you have information on this special substance?"

Chen Kai and Chu Ping exchanged another glance.

This made Bao Jing almost certain that they knew something.

And it heightened his anticipation.

Chu Ping awkwardly said, "Professor Bao, you’re a professor of scientific research. If we tell you, you might not believe it."

Chen Kai nodded in agreement, "In Qingmin City, the old man of the Zheng Family has seen the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable. Professor Bao, would you believe such a thing?"

After speaking, they felt they had said something inappropriate.

After all, it went against their status.

The key point was that Bao Jing was a renowned agricultural research professor, someone who valued science.

"I might... believe it!" Bao Jing subconsciously said, though the buzzing in his head seemed even louder.

If this special substance can be researched, perhaps...

"???" Chu Ping.

"???" Chen Kai.

The two looked at the professor in disbelief, clearly sensing something off in his reaction.

But they didn’t wish to linger on the topic, just as they were about to change the subject, Professor Bao interjected, "Leaders, could you help me find a place for long-term experiments? I’d like to continue studying this oilseed rape."

This fit perfectly with Chu Ping’s own interests.

The professor’s astonishment made it evident that the Chen Family’s oilseed rape was extraordinary.

Moreover, its growth rate alone was enough to prove its uniqueness.

He also wanted to understand the mystery of this oilseed rape, which might bring unexpected surprises once it blooms and bears fruit.

Therefore, he did not oppose Professor Bao’s request for a long-term research facility, and after agreeing to it, he and Chen Kai returned to the county office to discuss the specifics.

Before they even sat down, the secretary rushed in to report, "Chu County, the Chen Family is stirring up attention again. Other Taoist Daoists have arrived in our Linhe County and have gone to the Chen Family. Many related videos are going viral online, and these new Daoists seem to have brought something with them."

While reporting, he handed over his phone, which already had a collection of several videos.

Chu Ping immediately checked the videos and indeed saw footage of Daoists from the Taoist Sect appearing at the train station, with each Daoist accompanied by at least two others.

One elderly Daoist even had three young disciples, each carrying something.

This was not normal.

Chu Ping instinctively said, "What are these Daoists going to do at the Chen Family?"
