boston,

Dayton Broad Institute.

Professor Banco was faced with a choice. From the fact that the two researchers sent there told him that the jumping gene editing system was likely to die in the plan, from the fact that Xu Mang arrived late and left early all day long, and was invisible at work, it didn't look like he was there at all.

Do research.

"professor!"

"I'm not kidding... I think we were deceived." The researcher said seriously: "This doesn't look like a working state at all, and... What's even more outrageous is that even the laboratory seems to be temporary.

It was put together, there were only a few tables and chairs in the entire laboratory, and a few computers that I just bought.”

for a time,

Professor Banco was confused. Could it be that...Xu Mang didn't intend to cooperate well at all? Or that he didn't know how to edit genes at all. It's very possible that...the details of the crispr-c2c1 gene editing system have not been announced so far.

.

Again,

An expert in physics suddenly started toying with the field of gene editing in biology. This... This is almost funny when I think about it now.

jumping gene editing system,

Could it be...

Just exist in fantasy about the future?

"You guys come back."

"I immediately asked someone to close the port. Anyway, I didn't sign any agreement." Professor Banco said seriously: "By the way... Let's get together and let's talk to Professor Xu Mang. We want to stop the jump gene editing system.

For research cooperation, I think he will definitely agree."

"clear!"

hang up the phone,

Professor Banco was silent for a long time, then picked up the phone again and contacted Professor Burton Rich of Stanford University.

"Burton?"

"I am Banco from the Dunbold Institute." Professor Banco asked seriously: "Do you have any opinions on Xu Mang's future prospects for the jumping gene editing system at the World Gene Editing Elite Forum? Or do you

Do you think it can be successful?”

"I?"

"How is that possible!" Burton Rich said disdainfully: "It's not that I mean to belittle Xu Mang. There is no such thing as jump gene editing. Although everything he showed was so perfect,...

..I don’t think it exists.”

"That is, adding a new DNA sequence without removing the existing DNA sequence... Do you think it is possible?" Burton Ridge said seriously: "I looked at the Vibrio cholerae bacteria and indeed found

There is a 'jumping gene' in it, but it is almost impossible to achieve what Xu Mang said."

"..."

Professor Banco didn't know what to say. Originally, he believed in Xu Mang's jumping gene editing, but according to the news from the front, it seemed... just as Burton Rich said, it was just science fiction.

It is too difficult to do this in reality.

"Burton... I'll tell you the truth. Since the end of the forum summit, Xu Mang and I have launched some kind of cooperation on the jumping gene editing system. However... I just received news that surprised me.

His laboratory is simply not equipped to explore the field of gene editing."

"Here comes the problem..."

"Does China actually have a CRISPR-C2C1 gene editing system?" Professor Banco asked seriously: "Is all this just a fantasy about the future?"

"That must be it!"

"I dare to swear on my life." Burton Rich said seriously: "Think about it for yourself... The CRISPR-C2C1 gene editing system has been secretive from beginning to end, except in "Nature"

Some of the details announced above, but there is no other information at all, I feel... the whole world has been deceived."

"Banco!"

"Do you know what insult I have received?" Burton Rich suddenly became angry, with a hint of anger in his words, and said: "This guy actually threatened me that if I didn't give a certain student a degree certificate, he would

To retaliate against our laboratory, as long as we publish a paper, he will refute one."

What?

This... this is too... messy.

Professor Banco was quite speechless. Only then did he truly realize why Professor Smith tried so hard to dissuade him from cooperating with Xu Mang. This made sense. At first, he thought his old friend was out of jealousy, but...

.Others are doing it purely out of worry.

Just when Professor Banco felt guilty, Burton Rich continued: "I want to refute Xu Mang's remarks on the forum."

"..."

"Are you sure?"

"This is not a good sign." Professor Banco said seriously: "Professor Smith told me not to mess with Xu Mang, otherwise he will suffer a heavy price. Burton... never do stupid things.

, just pretend that this matter doesn’t exist.”

"Smith has already told me, but the tone... I just can't swallow it," Burton Ridge said.

Facing the stubborn Burton, Professor Banco was helpless. After hanging up the phone, he specifically contacted Professor Smith about this matter. However, Professor Smith told Professor Banco that Xu would definitely be involved in the jumping gene editing system.

It was developed by Mang.

Ask why you are so convinced,

Professor Smith did not give an answer, but just smiled calmly.

"Banco..."

"Xu Mang and I have known each other for a long time. I know better than you what kind of person he is." Smith said: "There was a reason why I told you not to cooperate with him. Now...it's too late.

It’s too late... Even if you close the port, it’s useless, you might as well leave it open.”

"..."

"He wouldn't be so shameless, would he?" Banco said cautiously: "Has... been completely copied?"

"Almost."

"He never restrains himself," Professor Smith said. "It's good not to cooperate."

...

Gone,

The two researchers from the Dunbold Institute have already boarded a plane back to the United States. Brother Chuanxiao personally sent them on board. No one was surprised by the suspension of cooperation, and at the same time, no one felt any regrets.

In short, according to Xu Mang, you may make a profit, but I will never lose.

"They left?"

"Um!"

"These damn Americans actually used the database from a few years ago to deceive me." Xu Mang said angrily: "Fortunately, I have a black-hearted businessman beside me, otherwise I would have been deceived by them... These bastards can't be killed.

them!"

"It's natural."

"Yesterday the US Secretary of Defense said that China has become the United States' primary competitor, including in the military field." Brother Chuanxiao said: "From the disclosed white paper, we can see that in the fields of genes, semiconductors, quantum computers, etc.

Wait, it’s all a state of complete blockade of China.”

"Your cooperation has been in an embarrassing situation from the very beginning." Brother Chuan Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "What should we do next?"

"Of course I did it myself." Xu Mang said with a smile: "The current progress is very impressive. Using the crispr-c2c1 gene editing system framework, we only need to apply it to it, but this database problem... is not easy to solve."

"Let the Academy of Sciences solve it?" Brother Chuan Xiao asked, "Otherwise you will be under too much pressure."

"Let's talk about it later."

Xu Mang shrugged, couldn't help but hunch, and said lazily: "I'm so tired... I worked until dawn again last night."

"..."

"If you continue like this, your body may collapse." Brother Chuanxiao said, "Go to sleep early."

"Xiaoman said the same thing, but it's only been three days since I started bragging. I'm so anxious in my heart." Xu Mang showed a trace of bitterness: "I knew I shouldn't brag, but now I feel like I'm getting cold feet."

through."

"That can't be helped."

"If you say it out loud, it will be like throwing water away. You can't take it back. And if you said it in front of the whole world, it's even more impossible to take it back." Brother Chuanxiao said.

well...

What a bitter life!
