Chapter 615 Mutated Mouse
It was not the first time that Yorkz came to China. Before, he came here, he always came here to give academic reports. He came here like a popular science worker, teaching very ordinary basic theories. But unexpectedly, just a few years later, when he came to China again, he had to take a learning attitude. This made Yorkz unacceptable and possible. Therefore, Yorkz's attitude was still the same as his arrogance at the time.
"Mr. President, science has no borders. The success of your school in life sciences should benefit the entire human race. The US government invested a lot of money to decipher the human genome, but the final research results are shared by all mankind. Now, the results of your own research are not shared with the whole world. Is this the scientific spirit of your Tsinghua University?" Yorkz asked.
Xu Qingze just replied lightly: "As far as I know, most of the patents of medicine and biotechnology around the world are in the hands of Americans. Mr. Yorkz, were you just talking to me about sharing the spirit?"
Xu Qingze looked at Yorkz with awkward expression, and felt very happy. He thought to himself, I won’t tell you that this is called "Song's Spear" and "Song's Shield". It’s terrible that you have no culture.
Yorkz was depressed, but still said with a stern face: "But it cannot be denied that American scientists have made the greatest contribution to modern medicine. Now you have achieved desirable results. I hope you can abandon prejudices and bring out this result so that people all over the world can benefit."
"This is the result that our scientists have obtained through labor and sweat. It is impossible for him to give up his rights so simply, which is impossible anywhere in the world. Of course, if the researchers themselves agree, we will not stop it. Similarly, we will not let our scientists give up their due interests." Xu Qingze said.
Yorkz immediately changed his approach: "But the situation this time is different. Since you have published the paper, it means that you are intentionally sharing the result with the world. We are here now to understand the experiment situation of this paper. A paper published to the whole world must ensure the authenticity of the data. It must be tested by colleagues all over the world. Mr. Principal, you also have an unshirkable responsibility for the papers published in your school newspaper. Once the whole world is repeating your experiments, you finally find that the experiments cannot be repeated. At that time, it is not only the honor of your journal, but not only the honor of your school, but the honor of your Chinese scientific community, and the honor of your country. Principal Xu, am I right?"
Xu Qingze nodded: "Yes, the reason why we chose to disclose our achievements in the school newspaper is naturally to share our research results with the world. We have very strict requirements for scientists and are serious and responsible for the papers published in the school newspaper. The experimental results have been seriously reviewed by the school and believed that they have a huge driving effect on human life sciences, so we specially released them to the world in a single-line manner. Regarding the issue of repetition, our scientists have already started to do repeated experiments, and the progress is very smooth, with a higher success rate than the first experiment. This shows that our experimental number system is very stable and our experimental data is accurate."
"Have you successfully completed the repeated experiment?" Yorkz asked in surprise.
Xu Qingze nodded: "It is because the repeated experiments are being conducted that you cannot have face-to-face communication with your visiting group. In addition, our scientific research team is very heavy and there are many visitors. If each visitor has to affect their research progress, their research will not be able to continue. Therefore, the school will hold a special academic conference after their repeated experiments are completed, and will invite colleagues from all over the world to conduct academic exchanges."
Xu Qingze clearly told Yorkz that the in vitro embryo test tube cultivation scientific research team will not conduct academic exchanges with you alone. After finally being proud, Xu Qingze felt very happy. Moreover, Xu Qingze is more than just one thing now. That mathematical paper has also become a global topic. The school is preparing to hold an international mathematical academic conference. It would be even more exciting if he could get the Fields Medal in Beijing. Thinking that these two things are related to one person, Xu Qingze sighed: Only such people must stay!
When Yorkz and others returned to the hotel with a roar, Xu Qingze quickly called Huang Zhongfang: "Director Huang, have you talked to Zhang Yaohua about the discussion of the school party committee?"
Huang Zhongfang knew what Xu Qingze would say when he received Xu Qingze. He said with a bitter face: "Principal Xu, Zhang Yaohua is afraid that she doesn't want to stay. The conditions given by the school may not be very attractive to him. It is not a matter of money. Zhang Yaohua is different from ordinary graduate students. But he did not refuse."
"Director Huang, Zhang Jiaohua's situation is special, so we can solve this problem more flexibly. We will try our best to solve any conditions he needs. He needs freedom, and we give enough freedom. He does not need to stay in school all the time, nor does he have to teach. Even if it is not possible, as long as he hangs his name in our school. Zhang Jiaohua must belong to our school. If such talents cannot be retained, will our school be held in the face?" Xu Qingze said.
Huang Zhongfang did not consider this issue at the beginning. After hearing what Xu Qingze said, he realized that Zhang Yaohua really had to hang a name in the school. If such a good student was dug up by another school, it would be difficult to put the school's face.
"I will discuss this matter with Zhang Yaohua again." Huang Zhongfang said.
"This matter is not discussed, but must be guaranteed. Even if you just have a name, you must completely connect Zhang Yaohua's name to our school." Xu Qingze said.
Zhang Jiaohua's experiment was progressing smoothly, and the first batch of samples that were successfully cultivated were in good development. The animals in the embryo had developed into complete individuals. They could vaguely see through the light of the strong flashlight that the baby mice that had been fully developed inside the sac are constantly doing various movements in the sac-like structure. The mice can already feel the light and sound. As long as they hear sounds outside or light changes, there will be obvious movements.
However, what surprised the research team was that the pregnancy period of the experimental mice used by Zhang Jiaohua was usually 19-21 days. However, the mouse eggs cultured in this test tube have been formed for more than a month, and the mice inside have not stopped their development. The cilia with a cystic structure are still constantly absorbing nutrients to supply the mouse fetus inside.
"Zhang Yaohua, normal mice should have been fully developed long ago. How long will the pregnancy period of this in vitro cultured embryo last longer?" Mei Qing walked over and asked.
Zhang Yaohua shook her head: "I don't know either. But it seems that the pregnancy period is much longer than that of normal mice."
Previously, Zhang Jiaohua had taken out several of these samples for "caesarean section", but found that the mice had not yet developed completely. Although they survived after the dissection, they were obviously somewhat underdeveloped. This kind of white mouse was twice as big as a normal mouse as soon as it was "born".
Mei Qing looked at the premature rats fed alone in the cage and felt that these teenage mice were a little strange. When Zhang Yaohua was alone, these teenage mice were very gentle, but as soon as Mei Qing approached them, she immediately became anxious.
"Squeak, squeak..."
The little mouse was actually attacking the iron cage, and its sharp teeth bit the wire on the iron cage and creaked.
The wire was bitten by the little mouse and was somewhat deformed, and even a very clear tooth mark was left on it. The little mouse was originally a very gentle animal, but now it is a little violent.
"Zhang Yaohua, this mouse cage needs to be replaced. In addition, it is best to do some safety protection in this laboratory. If this kind of teenage mouse runs out, there may be problems." Mei Qing reminded.
Zhang Jiaohua also realized that this kind of genus mice is no longer the real genus mice. They have received a lot of baptism of spiritual energy during the embryo period. I am afraid that the ancient genes in its genome have been activated, and some genes that have been specialized have been reactivated. Perhaps this is the real form of genus mice.
"Teacher Huang has prepared an independent laboratory. The protective measures there will be much better than here. It will be moved there in about two days. However, when I was here, these teenage mice were still very obedient." Zhang Qiaohua didn't understand why this happened. Perhaps these teenage mice could feel the spiritual aura on Zhang Qiaohua, so they were particularly kind to Zhang Qiaohua.
Mei Qing chuckled: "Maybe they regard you as the little mouse mother."
"Teacher Mei, you can't talk nonsense." Zhang Yaohua doesn't like such a name.
In fact, Zhang Jiaohua knows why these mice have changed so much. During the fetal period, they absorbed rich spiritual energy, making them directly become spiritual beasts. Their body shapes have also undergone great changes. These innately maldeveloped spiritual beasts have undergone such a big change. If they are fully developed, what will they become? Will they become giant rats in science fiction movies?
In fact, Zhang Yaohua is also planning to do an experiment. If enough spiritual energy is provided during the development of mice, what will they become if they are "born"? Will it be even more powerful?
"If human fertilized eggs are cultured in vitro in vitro, will such changes happen?" Mei Qing raised a very controversial question.
This kind of experiment is very sensitive. Embryo culture in vitro may become the technical basis for cloning humans. In the future, someone will definitely try to culture biological cells directly. Through certain induction, the somatic cells may be able to develop into a complete individual. What if the somatic cells belong to humans? Then it is possible to achieve real human cloning, and humans may clone themselves into several parts at any time. In the future, if human consciousness can be transferred, a new body can be cloned and then transfer consciousness in, it is possible to achieve rejuvenation. This idea may make some people unable to stop.
Mei Qing hurriedly said, "I just said it casually, Zhang Yaohua, don't try it. This will be very dangerous. There will be no big problem in breeding a mutated mouse. But breeding a mutant will cause uneasiness to the whole world."
Zhang Yaohua smiled and said, "Even if you don't just say it casually, I won't be stupid to do such an experiment."
Mei Qing nodded: "That's good. By the way, Teacher Huang wants you to stay at Tsinghua University. What are you planning?"
"I may not necessarily work in any school or scientific research unit in the future. If I choose to go to a school or scientific research unit, there is naturally no need to go to other places." Zhang Yaohua said.
"What the school is most worried about now is that you have been poached by other places, but I know you won't. The financial treatment is not tempting for you. The conditions in our school are also good," Mei Qing said.
"Teacher Mei, how is your experiment progressing? I have been here recently and have not paid much attention to the progress on your side." Zhang Yaohua said apologetically.
"If the progress is not going well, I'll come to you long ago. My experiment is going well, and Mananli's experiment has also made good progress. After a while, we can complete the topic by adding some experiments. However, with your experiment in advance, our topic will not receive much attention." Mei Qing said helplessly.
"Teacher Mei, your projects are actually very amazing. You can definitely publish them in the top publications. Or I will find Principal Xu and ask him to issue a copy of your papers to the school newspaper." Zhang Yaohua said.
Mei Qing shook her head: "Now the whole world is discussing your experiment. Even if we issue a copy of the book, it will not be of much use. I am going to put it down and publish it in top international publications."
The reason why Huang Zhongfang decided to move Zhang Yaohua's experimental project to an independent experimental building was not only in terms of safety considerations, but also another problem was to meet the problem of colleagues from all over the country coming to visit when the academic exchange meeting was held.
"Beggars, an academic exchange meeting is about to be held. You'd better organize the experimental data. You should distinguish between what can be disclosed and what cannot be disclosed. You must keep confidential information properly. There are many people coming this time, and no one can guarantee whether there will be some people with some purpose here." Huang Zhongfang reminded.
"Teacher Huang, all the information that cannot be disclosed is in my head, and they will definitely not be able to get it. However, there are really many problems when they want to go to the laboratory for observation. These mice are very sensitive to outsiders. They are very aggressive and have a certain destructive power. It is best to find a way to prevent visitors from reaching these mice." Zhang Yaohua said with some concern.
"This is easy to deal with. Let's just use plexiglass to separate it." Huang Zhongfang thought for a while and said.
