The five experimenters entered the observation phase.

The five groups of rats were labeled the Han Meng Group, the Cui Hualin Group, the Tang Yaxing Group, the Du Yuan Group, and the Wu Junqiang Group, with equal numbers of males and females in each.

No miracle had happened yet, but tragedy soon struck.

After the anesthesia wore off, the rats in Du Yuan's group began dying one after another over the course of a day.

The experiment log read:

Rat 1, Du Yuan's group, died at 12:42 p.m. from intracranial hemorrhage.

Rat 2, Du Yuan's group, died at 12:43 p.m. from intracranial hemorrhage.

Rat 10, Du Yuan's group, died at 12:51 p.m. from intracranial hemorrhage.

To be precise, all ten experimental rats in Du Yuan's group died one after another within ten minutes, at an average rate of one per minute.

They had all died of the same cause: intracranial hemorrhage.

"Ah, I failed." Du Yuan was deeply frustrated. His experimental plan had been proven a complete failure. His ten little companions had died horribly in the lab before they could even take an intelligence test.

Du Yuan could only spend a minute feeling frustrated. He had to race against time to dissect the ten dead experimental rats. His main task was to examine their brain tissue, sum up the lessons learned, and gather valuable data for designing the next experiment.

Gene-editing experiments on living organisms did carry risks.

Du Yuan had changed just one gene in the rats, yet his entire group had perished in an extremely short time.

"Brother, don't get discouraged. Failure is the mother of success." Han Meng comforted Du Yuan, then added, "Put together an analysis report on your group's experimental data as soon as you can, and state your conclusions. Was there a
