Chapter 739 Something Big Has Happened?
For many people in the Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology of the Academy of Sciences, today is a tense and busy day. Academician Zhong suddenly conveyed several tasks that need to be completed by everyone in the institute. The shorter the time, the better. .
Everyone is very confused about this sudden task. Under normal circumstances, it is rare to issue such an urgent task during the Chinese New Year, unless an irresistible order is encountered. However, it is said so, but it has never been encountered been.
In the molecular biology laboratory, many people feel confused about this. What is the situation? Why did this task come so suddenly? I have already encountered a lot of difficulties in upgrading the CRISPR system. As a result, I suddenly asked myself to complete some gene editing experiments. How can I have so much time.
"Academician Zhong?"
"What... what's wrong with this?" A young Ph.D. asked: "Aren't we studying the breakthrough of the CRISPR system? Why are we starting to complete some gene editing experiments again, and this experiment... looks pretty good?" simple."
"It's really simple."
"But... there is an epoch-making significance behind it." Academician Zhong said mysteriously: "In short, you should hurry up, and it is best to finish it within an hour. Let me see how other departments are doing? By the way, I will guide the work, after all The field is different."
words fall,
Academician Zhong left the laboratory, leaving six or seven researchers with bewildered expressions on their faces.
"well?"
"It's weird today!" A female researcher present said curiously: "Such a simple experimental task, shouldn't we do it? It would be more suitable for college students from various universities or interns from research institutes. Having been in the business for so long, it...it doesn't stress us at all."
However,
A sense of sadness welled up from the bottom of my heart. After entering the field of molecular biology for so long, I have to say that it is a pity that I cannot solve the problem of breakthroughs in the CRISPR system.
"Is there such a possibility?" said the young doctor before: "We suddenly asked to complete these experiments. In fact, the service object behind it is Professor Xu Mang. He asked Academician Zhong to let us complete these tasks in order to obtain relevant information. If you think back to what he said just now, it is of epoch-making significance.”
"The so-called epoch-making significance, I don't think I need too much explanation. It must be earth-shattering, otherwise it can't be called epoch-making significance." The young doctor continued: "What do you think of my point of view?"
for a while,
The laboratory was silent, not to mention...it sounded reasonable. It seemed that Professor Xu Mang could possess such a great energy that academician Zhong would rather use the power of this research institute to verify a conclusion.
That being the case...
Could it be that Professor Xu Mang has successfully made a breakthrough in the field of gene editing?
A rather bold and impractical idea appeared in everyone's minds, maybe...Professor Xu Mang really broke the world's problem. A system beyond CRISPR has been born in this world, but it needs to be verified.
"this..."
"Suddenly my back felt a little chilly!" A researcher said in horror: "If... If Professor Xu Mang develops a brand new system that surpasses the CRISPR system, this... is more than epoch-making, it is clearly Pushing the field of gene editing forward by a decade!"
ten years?
Is it really ten years?
In this era of technological explosion, ten years means a new revolution, but... Can Professor Xu Mang's research results have such an effect?
Everyone present looked at each other and saw the doubts and expectations in each other's eyes. If all this is true, then I am the promoter of this biological technology explosion, and I am a little excited when I think about it.
at the same time,
In several other laboratories,
Similar topics are also staged,
For this experiment that was too mysterious to know the reason, many people pointed the finger at Xu Mang. Almost everyone in the Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology of the Academy of Sciences knew that Xu Mang was upgrading the CRISPR system.
"Old clock?"
"Are you nervous now?" Academician Chu glanced at the serious academician Zhong standing beside him, and asked curiously: "What if you fail? Are you planning to fail? You can't trust unconditionally, right?"
"fail?"
"If you fail...just start over, but I believe in Professor Xu Mang's ability. According to past experience, the probability of success is very high." Academician Zhong said seriously: "Don't think that Professor Xu Mang just spent so many days Time, who knows the bitterness behind it?"
"yes!"
"Who can understand the bitterness behind it? Everyone only sees his success, but they don't think that success is achieved by how much hard work." Academician Chu said helplessly: "I think it's just a few pictures of Professor Xu Mang. There are not enough photos of his work, it is better to have a special documentary about him, taking a picture of his usual work."
"..."
"Don't, don't, don't!" Academician Zhong refused with a nervous face, and said seriously: "He...he is not what you imagined, I had contact with him once, and he...you don't want to talk to him once you meet him. For those who come into contact again, the bitterness I mentioned is just casually, so don't take it too seriously."
Academician Chu:? ? ?
this...
This sounds very strange!
It seemed that Xu Mang wasn't the kind...what everyone imagined, what kind of person was he...exactly?
"Ahem!"
"Then...what kind of person is Xu Mang?" Academician Chu asked in confusion, "If he wasn't that kind of hardworking person, what kind of person would he be?"
Hearing Academician Chu's words, Academician Zhong said helplessly: "He... well... the president of Fuda University is related to Professor Xu Mang. I know from the president of Fuda University that his relative has an unusual temper. Stubborn, and lazy as hell, if you can lie down, you will definitely not sit down."
"What about standing?"
"They're all lying down...will they still be standing?" Academician Zhong said with a wry smile, "One more thing...the fruit in his hand is very valuable."
fruit?
What's the meaning?
Academician Chu couldn't understand the meaning of Lao Zhong's words, so he asked curiously, "What kind of fruit? Does he usually like to grow apple trees?"
Academician Zhong shook his head and said seriously: "For example, when he comes to see you, shouldn't ordinary people come to meet with a fruit basket at this time? He can't avoid this custom, and he will also carry a fruit basket, but... no Sorry, he bought it for himself, just to envy you."
this...
This sounds a little weird!
"Old clock?"
"Is every genius a big wonder?" Academician Chu frowned, and said seriously: "I feel that geniuses are often related to lunatics."
"correct!"
"He is such a person. He looks like he is joking and joking, but he is a great scientist behind his back." Academician Zhong said helplessly: "By this time next year, he will be our colleague."
"you..."
"Have you received the news?" Academician Chu looked at Lao Zhong in surprise.
"Um!"
"He could have become an academician a long time ago, but he was afraid of public opinion at that time." Academician Zhong said: "Now there is no such worry at all. His becoming an academician should be expected by everyone."
At this time,
Academician Zhong's office,
A landline suddenly rang, interrupting the conversation between the two of them. After looking at the caller, it turned out to be an internal call.
"The phone number for the Molecular Biology Lab."
Academician Zhong picked up the phone and asked curiously, "Hello? What's the matter?"
"Academician Zhong."
"We have completed the experiment, and the relevant data has been sent to your mailbox, please check it."
"Um!"
"OK."
hang up,
Academician Zhong raised his head, glanced at his colleagues, and said solemnly: "The molecular biology laboratory has been completed, how about... let's compare it first?"
moment,
The two sat together, found one of the many data that Xu Mang had sent, and began to compare the two.
just a minute later,
The only sound left in the office was the rapid breathing of the two.
...
Modu International Hotel,
Xu Mang was having a New Year's Eve dinner with Xiaoman and her company's employees. By the way, Brother Chuanxiao and others were also there, but Xu Mang and Xiaoman were sitting at the main table, having dinner with a group of relevant leaders of Shanghai. Advanced, at best regional.
Facing these people,
The young couple didn't care at all, and they still kept their own way. Xu Mang drank coconut milk, Xiaoman drank fruit juice, and everyone else was white. Two people cannot be allowed to drink.
"Professor Xu!"
"Come, come... I'll toast you, I'll do it, you can do whatever you want!" A middle-aged man raised his glass with a smile and said to Xu Mang.
Faced with this situation,
Xu Mang had always been disgusted, but he had to go, so he could only sit there and eat the food crazily, then hehehe giggled.
"Boss Yang?"
"Does your company have any plans for next year?" A bald man asked curiously, "If there is, I will turn on the lights for you in advance."
"next year..."
"not sure."
"But the only thing that is certain is that the company needs to expand." Yang Xiaoman said indifferently: "Don't give me any convenience, everything depends on bidding. I believe that no one can take the land from me."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Although a little crazy, it is true.
There is really no one who can take away the land she wants, and besides... no one dares.
"Well?"
"I'm sorry...I'll answer a call." Xu Mang glanced at the caller and found that it was Academician Zhong, so he hurriedly answered it.
"Hello?"
"Professor Xu?"
"By the way, can you come to the Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology tomorrow?" Academician Zhong's tone was a little hasty, revealing a trace of nervousness.
Hearing the words of Academician Zhong,
Xu Mang was even more nervous than him, and said with a surprised face: "Tomorrow? In such a hurry? Is... is there something wrong? I'll check the flight and come over right away!"
words fall,
The atmosphere on this table became tense in an instant, so tense that even the air was still.
