Chapter 739 What happened? (3/3, 22/78)(1/2)
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, which need to be completed by everyone in the institute. The shorter the time, the better.
.
Everyone was confused about this sudden task. Normally, such an urgent task would rarely be issued during the Chinese New Year unless there was an irresistible order. However, they always said so, but never encountered such an emergency task.
Been there.
In the molecular biology laboratory, many people are confused about this. What is going on? Why does this task come so suddenly? I have already encountered a lot of difficulties in upgrading the CRISPR system, and suddenly I have to go
How can we have so much time to complete any gene editing experiment?
"Academician Zhong?"
"What...what's going on here?" A young doctor asked: "Aren't we studying the breakthrough of the CRISPR system? Why did we start 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 with a mysterious face: "Anyway, you hurry up, it is best to finish it within an hour. Let me see how other departments are doing? By the way, I can guide the work, after all.
The fields are different.”
The words fell,
Academician Zhong left the laboratory, leaving six or seven scientific researchers with confused expressions on their faces.
"well?"
"Today is weird!" A female researcher present said curiously: "Such a simple experimental task should not be done by us, right? It would be more appropriate to let college students from various universities or interns from the research institute do it. We all
Having been in the industry for so long, this...this doesn’t put any pressure on us at all.”
However,
A feeling of sadness welled up from the depths of my heart. After entering the field of molecular biology for so long, I have been unable to solve the problem of breakthroughs in the CRISPR system. I have to say... this is a pity.
"Is there such a possibility?" said the young doctor before: "We suddenly asked to complete these experiments. In fact, the person behind the service was Professor Xu Mang. He asked Academician Zhong to let us complete these tasks in order to obtain relevant information.
The data, you think about what he just said, its epoch-making significance."
"The so-called epoch-making significance does not require too much explanation. It must be shocking, otherwise it cannot be called epoch-making significance." The young doctor continued: "What do you think of my point of view?"
for a time,
There was silence in the laboratory, let alone... It sounded somewhat reasonable. It seemed that Professor Xu Mang could possess such a large amount of energy that Academician Zhong would rather use the power of this research institute to verify a conclusion.
In this case...
Could it be that Professor Xu Mang has successfully made a breakthrough in the field of gene editing?
A rather bold and unrealistic idea appears in everyone's mind. Perhaps...Professor Xu Mang has really broken a world-wide problem. A system beyond CRISPR has been born in this world, but it needs to be verified.
"this..."
"Suddenly I felt a chill on my back!" A researcher said in horror: "If...if Professor Xu Mang develops a brand new system that surpasses the CRISPR system, this...is not only of epoch-making significance, it is clearly...
Pushing the field of gene editing forward ten years!"
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 they are the promoters of this biological technology explosion, and they are a little excited just thinking about it.
at the same time,
In several other laboratories,
Similar topics are also happening. For this mysterious experiment with no known 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 CRISPR.
system.
"Old clock?"
"Are you nervous now?" Academician Chu glanced at the serious Academician Zhong standing next to him, and asked curiously: "What if you fail? Are you prepared to fail? You can't trust unconditionally, right?"
"fail?"
"If you fail... you will have to start over. But I believe in Professor Xu Mang's ability. Based on past experience, the probability of success is very high." Academician Zhong said seriously: "Don't think that Professor Xu Mang just spent a few days.
Time, who can know the bitterness behind it?"
"yes!"
"Who can understand the bitterness behind it? Everyone only sees his successful side, but they don't realize how much hard work success is achieved." Academician Chu said helplessly: "I think just a few pictures of Professor Xu Mang
Photos of his work are not enough, it would be better to have a special documentary of him to take pictures of his usual work."
"..."
"No, no, no, no!" Academician Zhong refused nervously, and said seriously: "He...he is actually not what you think. I have been in contact with him once, and he is... a person you don't want to know after contacting him."
For those who come into contact with me again, the bitterness I mentioned was just a casual comment, don’t take it too seriously.”
Academician Chu:???
this...
This sounds strange!
It seems that Xu Mang is not the kind of person that everyone imagined. What kind of person is he?
"Ahem!"
"Then... what kind of person is Xu Mang?" Academician Chu asked with a confused look on his face: "If he is not that kind of hard-working person, what kind of person would he be?"
After hearing what Academician Chu said, Academician Zhong said helplessly: "He...sigh...the president of Fuda and Professor Xu Mang are related. I know from the president of Fuda that this relative of his has an unusual temper."
You are stubborn and lazy as hell. I will definitely not sit down for you if I can lie down."
"What about standing?"
"You are already lying down...will you still stand?" Academician Zhong smiled bitterly: "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 and asked curiously: "What fruit? He usually likes to plant apple trees?"
Academician Zhong shook his head and said seriously: "For example, when he comes to see you, shouldn't ordinary people bring a fruit basket to meet you at this time? He cannot avoid this custom and will also carry a fruit basket, but... no
I'm sorry, he bought it for himself, just to covet you."
this...
This sounds a bit weird!
"Old clock?"
"Is every genius a weirdo?" Academician Chu frowned and said seriously: "I feel that geniuses are often related to lunatics."
"correct!"
"He is just such a person. He looks like a jovial person, but secretly he is a great scientist." Academician Zhong said helplessly: "At 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 the time." Academician Zhong said: "Now there is no such worry at all. His becoming an academician should be expected by the public."
At this time,
Academician Zhong’s office,
A landline phone suddenly rang, interrupting the conversation between the two. After looking at the caller, it turned out to be an internal call.
"Molecular Biology Laboratory Phone Number."
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 seriously: "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 sent by Xu Mang, and began to compare.
Just one minute later,
To be continued...
