Chapter 6, Biologist

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

"No need, I am not going to participate in the Olympics!" Shelov waved his hand wearily, as he had recently felt changes in his body. Leaving behind data for testing was not what he needed; testing was actually very simple. The next time he met Medvedev, they could just have a tumble.

In a room at the headquarters of the Military Management General Bureau, Xie Luofu is sweating profusely while exercising. The room is equipped with a variety of fitness equipment, ranging from conventional dumbbells to a treadmill that should not exist in this era. Dressed in shorts, Xie Luofu's sweat has already soaked his hair as he walks and says, "The Technology Management General Bureau is truly efficient. Once we complete the testing, we will immediately contact a factory for production, while simultaneously registering the trademark in Italy. I can guarantee that once launched, it will be very popular. We need to adopt a strategy of low profit and high sales volume, allowing the people of Europe to accept this price and quickly capture the market in this area"

"There is no apology, nor do I feel sorry; I am no longer an academician! My journal has also been shut down!" Academician Sukachev touched his somewhat graying hair, yet his expression remained resolute, "However, I cannot stand by and watch the entire field of agricultural science be dominated by a flawed theory; I will not yield! As a scientist, I will only pursue the truth..."

When Isaymotni brought up two cups of coffee, Shelov finally spoke, "In fact, I am very sorry to have Academician Sukachev serve as my personal observer! You are the most authoritative biologist in our Soviet Union, and having you conduct research on the human body is truly a case of overqualified use. However, I have no other choice..."

Me too! The voice of Sherlov is not loud, but it is sufficient for the woman drying her hair to hear. Subsequently, she felt a pause in the movements behind her, the brief interval almost imperceptible, and the following actions became even more gentle

"Let's get started!" Shelov wiped the sweat from his brow, surrounded by various testing instruments, including those already in production and others still in experimentation. There were also more than a dozen individuals in white lab coats observing Shelov's condition. If someone with a vivid imagination were to witness this scene, considering that this was the headquarters of the KGB Military Management Directorate, it is likely that rumors of Soviet soldiers conducting war experiments would begin to circulate.

When Shelov completed all of this, the two instructors who had rushed over from Gatzna City were both astonished. If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed it. If a person who had never exercised suddenly engaged in such intense training, it would undoubtedly cause significant harm to their body. Especially since Shelov seemed as if he were being chased by wolves, the speed at which he completed all of this was simply incredible. Upon witnessing Shelov's condition, both of them began to doubt whether they needed to revise their physical training manuals upon returning.

Regardless of the misunderstandings and criticisms of the KGB's work from the outside world, for Shelov, as long as my heart remains bright, all of this is not a problem. Sensing and identifying traitors, allowing good people to continue living, and ensuring that the bad receive their due punishment, this is the KGB

The enemy referred to by Academician Sukachev is Lysenko, who influenced Soviet biology. Lysenko, driven by political and other considerations, insisted on the concept of acquired inheritance in biological evolution, denying the existence of genes. He opposed mainstream Mendelian-Morgan genetics with the genetics of Lamarck and Michurin, labeling Western geneticists as enemies of the Soviet people

If Sherlov were to know the thoughts of the two instructors, he would surely respond with humility. Such a title is more suited to the hopeless situation in India, where even a normal level of intelligence is not a concern; just drink a bit more of the Ganges water.

Isaimotni stood aside, taking notes of Sherlov's words, and then closed her notebook, saying, "Director, you have been up there for half an hour. Do you not need to come down and take a break?"

"Director, please conduct a strength test!" Isaimotini reminded, as completing a strength test would mean that today's task would be considered accomplished

After expressing his thoughts, Shelov still had to protect a large number of scientists, including Academician Sukachev. He could not allow these hundreds or thousands of scientists to delay their experiments, as the loss would be too great, one that the entire Soviet Union could not bear. "Academician Sukachev, you can conduct all your experiments at the General Directorate for Technical Management. I believe our National Security Committee is still capable of ensuring your continued experimentation!"

I feel better than ever before, how much training do we have left today?" Shelov asked, allowing sweat to trickle down his cheeks, his expression remaining unchanged.

Comrade Sukachev!" Shelov thought for a moment and advised, "In theory, I completely agree with your views on biology. The problem with Lysenko lies in his confusion of the essence of the issue. Our motherland is the world's first socialist country, bearing tasks that you can hardly imagine. We are in dire need of a mature system to counter capitalist countries, which has led to this debate within the scientific community. Lysenko's cleverness lies in his understanding that our leaders need a theory that provides proof and occupies the discourse dominated by mainstream Western scientists. Your debate is not merely academic; there are deeper implications..."

Sheloff, wearing a large tank top, was assisted by Lucani as he entered the adjacent bathroom. Before entering the bathroom, he had not lost his senses enough to push Lucani out. It is best not to engage in inappropriate behavior during working hours.

After more than ten minutes, Shelov came out completely naked to receive the clothes prepared by Lucani. A few minutes later, a somewhat presentable Shelov reappeared, but within three seconds, Lucani placed a large towel over his head. While drying his hair, he heard Lucani's low complaint, "Oh, is it flowing or not..."

200 pull-ups, 200 sit-ups, 300 squats, and 100 spring resistance exercises! Lukani tucked her hair behind her ear and said, "In the front is Comrade Kuznetsov's training, and in the back is Comrade Medvedev's training!"

Although he lacks talent in painting, as a communist successor who always maintains an optimistic attitude, this is not a reason for him to feel despondent. If he has no talent, he can simply practice diligently. He does not intend to follow the path of a dictator, nor does he need to become a wandering painter first. Currently, the work of maintaining social stability is very suitable for him, and he finds it to be very honorable.

After completing today's physical training, Shelov returned to his office, where someone was already waiting. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that this person had been in the training room. Among the dozen or so doctors dressed in white coats, he was the most prominent.

Psychologically, I am reluctant to do this, but for the sake of the achievements of a large group of us, I must express my gratitude to Comrade Shelov! How could a scientist like Academician Sukachev be willing to associate with someone like Shelov, who is stained with blood? Shelov himself understands this very well and would not take it to heart
