Chapter 7, General Administration Plenary Meeting

On December 27, Lubyanka Square was filled with various vehicles, and all the heads of the KGB agencies gathered here, including the various directorates under the National Security Committee, such as the First Main Directorate for Foreign Intelligence, the Second Main Directorate for Domestic Counterintelligence, the Third Main Directorate for Military Administration, the Fourth Main Directorate for Transportation Management, the Fifth Main Directorate for Secret Police, the Main Directorate for Technical Management, the Main Directorate for Oversight Management, the Main Directorate for Communications Management, the Main Directorate for Industrial Agency Management, the Main Directorate for Personnel Management, as well as equivalent departments, the Special Investigations Department, the National Communications Department, the Confidential Oversight Department, the Experience Verification Department, the Financial Funding Department, the Archives Registration Department, and the Action Execution Department. Additionally, there were some very important local branches.

All the directors of the National Security Council, more than twenty in total, were present, while most of the officials from the subordinate departments would arrive the next day to attend the plenary session. Shelov, dressed in military uniform and wearing a wide-brimmed hat with a dark blue trim, got out of the car, followed by Isemotnie and Lukani. Before entering the headquarters, he removed his sidearm and said to the two women, "You two wait outside!"

Consider the prospects of the future: a species that embodies the advantages of various crops is taking shape. How many people in the world would be spared from hunger? Whether it can save the people of the Third World entirely depends on whether scientists can advance the progress of science! After Shelov finished speaking, he fell silent, leaving the meaning for the scientist himself to ponder, rather than having this agent deliberately instill it.

As a scientist, the allure of challenging the unknown is greater than anything else, and this is also true for Academician Sukachev. Scientists have an innate desire to understand the world! The more they learn, the more they feel their understanding of the world is insufficient. The viewpoints proposed by Shelkov are particularly enticing for Academician Sukachev, a biologist at the pinnacle of Soviet science.

Do not entertain such thoughts! Sherlov's voice was cold but immediately softened as he said, "Society has its divisions; where there is light, there is also darkness. We uphold the darkness to protect the light! Adhering to our ideals and not being swayed by external discussions is our duty!"

"Hehe, I am immortal!" Xieluo laughed heartily, boasting to his woman until Isaimoteni broke into laughter. Seeing the woman's smile, Xieluo felt that the gloom in his heart had diminished significantly.

But this is not fair to us! Our contributions to the country are no less than anyone else's!" Isaimotini said, looking at the man's profile with discontent, "We have sacrificed so much, only to be met with misunderstanding from the people. When they think of us, they only remember surveillance, terror, and cold ruthlessness. No one can recall our contributions and sacrifices...

The Chairman of the KGB, Shelepin, was himself a heavy smoker, so no one would deliberately pay attention to whether they should control their smoking habits in this setting. "We are in a meeting; shouldn't we be mindful not to pollute the air?" Shelepin stood on his moral high ground, criticizing his colleagues, and casually lit a cigarette, exhaling a plume of smoke over a meter long.

Since the outcome is unknown, let's give it a try! Sherlov said with a distasteful smile, "At worst, we can conduct an experiment on foreign nationals for export. If there are no side effects, that would be ideal; if problems arise, it will only affect our enemies!" As an ordinary person with a basic understanding of friend and foe, Sherlov has always adhered to this viewpoint: to deceive one hundred Americans every day, ensuring that before he dies, he can deceive at least one million people. Deceiving one person is easy; the challenge lies in deceiving people every day.

Sheloff, who was being ridden on the back, remained motionless, his body as upright as a javelin. Tilting his head with a fond smile, he said, "Scientists have their own persistence; they have their ideals, and that is commendable. We should just do the things that cannot be seen in the light. Isn't our work itself like this?"

There is no world where there is only light without darkness. For the bright lives of the majority, he does not mind placing himself in darkness. "Academician Sukachev!" Shelkov called out to the scientist who was about to leave in a low voice, "Is it not possible to artificially synthesize the biological genes of a species through certain means?"

Upon entering the headquarters' conference room, the moment the door opened, Xie Luofu experienced an illusion of stepping into a thermal power plant, as wisps of blue smoke billowed out through the opened door. "Those who are unaware might even think our headquarters is on fire. It would be quite ridiculous if we were to be taken down by a fire when imperialism cannot eliminate any of our members," Xie Luofu remarked with a hint of mockery as he settled into his chair.

I cannot allow science to cause harm to humanity; I am a scientist, and my ideal is to benefit humanity! Academician Sukachev pondered for a moment and provided his answer

However, we may not necessarily be able to see what a communist society truly looks like!" Isaimotini said with a slight choke in her voice as she looked at Shelov. She was even more aware of the abnormalities in Shelov's body than his legitimate wife, and no one could clearly say whether this change was good or bad. The woman did not care about a grand ideal; she only hoped for her man to be by her side.

Understood! Sherlov nodded knowingly, appearing to greatly appreciate Academician Sukachev's integrity, and said, "Everything has two consequences; if your achievements can bring greater happiness to humanity, why not pursue it?"

This statement caused Academician Sukachev to be taken aback, as he looked at the KGB major general in front of him with some astonishment; the idea was too bold. Artificially synthesized genetically modified crops are essentially transgenic. Please forgive Shchelkov for not being an expert, as his description is somewhat imprecise, but his meaning is clear. As an expert in this field, Sukachev understood the implications of Shchelkov's words.

Patting Isaimotni's fragrant shoulder to let her down, Shelov advised with a firm smile, "I do not know what true communism looks like, but that does not prevent me from imagining that beautiful life! Since the country needs people like us to defend the light in the darkness, it is nothing even if we are not seen!"

Director, these individuals are too pedantic and do not understand what the country needs. No wonder they are not a match for Lysenko! Isaymotni, as Shelov's confidential secretary, fully understands what Shelov intends to convey and cannot help but look down upon Academician Sukachev's adherence to pointless morals.

A legitimate scientist, driven by the ideal of benefiting humanity, pursues science, which earns the admiration of Sherlov. If that is the case, then the darker aspects should not be left to noble scientists; it is better for the KGB to undertake such nefarious dealings. After all, Sherlov does not care about adding another sin to his record. Prior to this, he had already blown up the American embassy, violating diplomatic principles, carried out collective executions with blood on his hands, exported revolution, and instigated war. Even if he were to add one more sin, it would not matter. It is better for the KGB to undertake such nefarious dealings; after all, Sherlov does not care about adding another sin to his record.

We challenge genes, but no one knows what consequences this will bring! Sukachev was unaware of the future debates surrounding genetically modified organisms, yet he questioned this possibility from his own professional perspective
