80s Taoism

Chapter 617 Mutated Mouse

It's not the first time for Yokez to come to China. Before he came here, he always came here to give academic reports. Like a science popularizer, he came here to teach very common basic theories. But he didn't expect that only a few years later, when he came to China again, he had to put on a learning attitude instead. This makes Yokez unacceptable and difficult to do. Therefore, Yokez's attitude is still as arrogant as before.

"Mr. President, science has no borders. Your university's success in life sciences should benefit all mankind. The US government has invested a lot of money in deciphering 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 world. Is this the scientific spirit of your Tsinghua University?" Yorkz asked.

Xu Qingze just replied indifferently: "As far as I know, most of the world's pharmaceutical and biotechnology patents are in the hands of Americans. Mr. Yorkz, did you just talk to me about the spirit of sharing?"

Xu Qingze jokingly looked at the embarrassed Yokez, feeling extremely refreshed. Xindao, I won't tell you that I'm called hitting the shield with the spear of the son, it's terrible to be uneducated.

Yorkz was wilted, but still said with a deadpan face: "But it cannot be denied that American scientists have made the greatest contribution to modern medicine. Now you have also achieved desirable results. I hope you can abandon your prejudices and take this achievement out to benefit people all over the world."

"This is the result of our scientists' hard work and sweat. It is impossible for him to give up his rights so easily anywhere in the world. Of course, if the researcher himself agrees, 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 this time the situation is different. Since you have published the paper, it means that you intend to share this result with the world. We are here now to learn about the experimental situation of this paper. A paper that is published to the world must ensure the authenticity of the data. It must be tested by peers around the world. Mr. President, you also have an inescapable responsibility for the papers published in your school newspaper. The honor is not only the honor of your school, but also the honor of your Chinese scientific community, and also the honor of your country. Principal Xu, am I right?"

Xu Qingze nodded: "That's right, the reason why we choose to publish our achievements in the school newspaper is naturally to share our research results with the world. We have very strict requirements on scientists, and we are serious and responsible for the papers published in the school newspaper. This experimental result has been seriously reviewed by the school. We believe that it has a huge role in promoting human life sciences, so we released it to the world in a separate book. Regarding the issue of repeatability, our scientists have already started to do repeated experiments, and the progress is very smooth, compared to the first time. The success rate of the experiment is higher. It 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 precisely because of the repeated experiments that we cannot have face-to-face communication with your visiting group. In addition, our scientific research team has a very heavy workload and there are many visitors. If every visitor affects their research progress, their research will not be able to continue. Therefore, the school will hold an academic conference after their repeated experiments are completed, and will invite colleagues from all over the world to conduct academic exchanges."

Xu Qingze made it clear that he told Yorkz that the in vitro embryo test tube culture research team will not conduct academic exchanges with you alone. After finally raising his eyebrows, Xu Qingze felt extremely refreshed. Moreover, Xu Qingze is not only proud of this matter now. That piece of mathematics paper also became a worldwide topic. The school is preparing to hold an international academic conference on mathematics. It would be even better if he could win the Fields Medal in Beijing. Thinking that these two things were related to one person, Xu Qingze couldn't help sighing: Such a person must stay!

When Yorkz and the others returned to the hotel angrily, Xu Qingze quickly called Huang Zhongfang: "Dean Huang, have you told Zhang Jiaohua about the school's party committee's discussion opinions?"

When Huang Zhongfang received a call from Xu Qingze, he knew what Xu Qingze would say, and said with a bitter face: "Principal Xu, I'm afraid Zhang Jiaohua doesn't want to stay. The conditions offered by the school may not be very attractive to him. It's not about money. Zhang Jiaohua is different from ordinary graduate students. But he didn't refuse."

"Dean Huang, student Zhang Jiaohua is in a special situation, so we can solve this problem more flexibly. We will try our best to solve whatever conditions he needs. He needs freedom, and we give him enough freedom. He doesn't need to stay in the school all the time, and he doesn't have to teach. Even if he can't, as long as he hangs his name in our school. Zhang Jiaohua must belong to our school. If such a talent cannot be retained, where will our school face?" Xu Qingze said.

Huang Zhongfang didn't think about this issue at first, but after hearing what Xu Qingze said, he realized that Zhang Jiaohua really needed to have a name in the school. If such a good student is scooped up by other schools, the school's face will really be bad.

"I'll discuss this matter with Zhang Jiaohua later." Huang Zhongfang said.

"This matter is not to be discussed, but must be guaranteed. Even if it is just a name, Zhang Jiaohua's name must be completely connected with our school." Xu Qingze said.

Zhang Jiaohua's experiment is progressing smoothly, and the first batch of successfully cultivated samples are in very good condition. The animal in the embryo has already developed into a complete individual, and it can be vaguely seen only through the light of a strong flashlight. The fully developed mouse baby in the sac is constantly doing various movements in the sac-like structure. The mice have already been able to feel light and sound, as long as they hear outside sounds or changes in light, there will be obvious movements.

But what surprised the research team is that the gestation period of the experimental mice used by Zhang Jiaohua is generally 19-21 days. However, the mouse eggs cultured in this test tube have been formed for more than a month, and the mice inside still have not stopped the development process. The cilia of the sac-like structure are still absorbing nutrients to supply the mouse fetus inside.

"Zhang Jiaohua, normal mice should have been fully developed long ago. How long will the pregnancy period of this in vitro cultured embryo be extended?" Mei Qing walked over and asked.

Zhang Jiaohua shook his head: "I don't know either. But it seems that the gestation period of normal mice should be much longer."

Previously, Zhang Jiaohua had taken several of these samples for "Cesarean section", but found that the mice had not yet fully developed. Although it survived after being cut out, it was obviously underdeveloped. This kind of white mouse is twice as big as a normal mouse as soon as it is "born".

Mei Qing looked at the premature mice fed alone in the cage, and felt that these little white mice were a little weird. When Zhang Jiaohua was here alone, these mice were very docile, but when Mei Qing approached them, she immediately became restless.

"Squeak, squeak..."

The little mouse was actually attacking the iron cage, its sharp teeth biting the wire on the iron cage until it creaked.

The wire had been bitten by the little mouse and it was deformed, even leaving a very clear tooth mark on it. The little white mouse was originally a very docile animal, but now it has become a little violent.

"Zhang Jiaohua, this mouse cage needs to be changed. In addition, this laboratory should be protected. If this kind of white mouse escapes, there may be problems." Mei Qing reminded.

Zhang Jiaohua also noticed that this kind of mouse is no longer the real kind of mouse. It received a lot of spiritual baptism during the embryonic stage. It is likely that the ancient genes in its genome have been activated, and some genes that were originally specialized have been reactivated. Maybe this is the real form of the little white mouse.

"Teacher Huang has already prepared an independent laboratory. The protective measures over there will be much better than here. I will move there in about two days. But when I was here, these mice were still very obedient." Zhang Jiaohua didn't understand why this happened. Perhaps these mice could feel the aura of Zhang Jiaohua, so they were very kind to Zhang Jiaohua.

Mei Qing chuckled: "Maybe they regard you as a mouse mother."

"Teacher Mei, you can't talk nonsense." Zhang Jiaohua didn't like such a title.

In fact, Zhang Jiaohua knows why these mice have undergone such changes. During the fetal period, they absorbed a strong spiritual energy, making them directly become spirit beasts. The body shape has also changed dramatically. These congenital stunted spirit beasts have undergone such a big change, if they are allowed to fully develop, what will they look like? Will it become a giant rat in a sci-fi movie?

In fact, Zhang Jiaohua is going to do an experiment, if during the development process of the mice, if enough aura is provided all the time, what will they look like when they are "born"? Will it be even more powerful?

"Will such changes happen if human fertilized eggs are cultured in vitro?" Mei Qing asked a very controversial question.

This kind of experiment is very sensitive, and embryo culture in vitro may become the technical basis of human cloning. In the future, someone will definitely try to directly culture biological cells. Through certain induction, it may be possible to develop somatic cells into a complete individual. What if the somatic cells are human? Then it is possible to realize real human cloning, and human beings may clone themselves into several copies at any time. If it is possible to transfer human consciousness in the future, clone a brand new body, and then transfer the consciousness into it, it is possible to achieve rejuvenation. This idea may turn some people off.

Mei Qing said quickly: "I just said it casually, Zhang Jiaohua, don't try it. It will be very dangerous. It won't be a big problem to breed a mutated mouse. But if a mutated human is bred, it may make the whole world uneasy."

Zhang Jiaohua laughed and said, "Even if you didn't say it casually, I wouldn't be foolish enough to do this kind of experiment."

Mei Qing nodded: "That's good. By the way, Teacher Huang wants you to stay in Tsinghua University. What is your plan?"

"I may not work in any school or research institute in the future. If I choose to work in a school or research institute, there is no need to go elsewhere." Zhang Jiaohua said.

"What the school is most worried about now is that you will be poached by other places, but I know you won't. The financial treatment is not attractive to you. Our school's conditions are also good." Mei Qing said.

"Teacher Mei, how is your experiment going? I have been staying here recently, and I haven't paid much attention to your progress." Zhang Jiaohua said apologetically.

"If it didn't go well, I would have come to see you a long time ago. My experiment is going well, and Mananli's experiment is also going well. After a period of time, add some experiments, and the problem can be concluded. But with your experiment ahead, our project won't receive much attention." Mei Qing said helplessly.

"Ms. Mei, your two projects are actually very remarkable. They can definitely be published in the top journals. Or I can go to Principal Xu and ask him to issue a copy of your two papers in the school newspaper." Zhang Jiaohua said.

Mei Qing shook her head: "Now the whole world is discussing your experiment. Even if we publish a booklet, it won't have much effect. I'm going to publish it in a top international journal."

The reason why Huang Zhongfang decided to move Zhang Jiaohua's experimental project to an independent laboratory building was that, in addition to safety considerations, there was another problem, which was to meet the problem of colleagues from various countries coming to visit when the academic exchange conference was held.

"Biaohua, the academic exchange meeting is about to be held. You'd better sort out the experimental data. You must distinguish the content that can be disclosed from the content that cannot be disclosed. You must keep the confidential information properly. There are a lot of people here this time, and no one can guarantee whether there will be some people with a certain purpose." Huang Zhongfang reminded.

"Mr. Huang, the information that cannot be disclosed is in my head, and it is absolutely impossible for them to get it. However, there are still many problems for them to enter the laboratory for observation. These mice are very sensitive to outsiders. They are very aggressive and have certain destructive power. It is best to find a way to prevent visitors from touching these mice." Zhang Jiaohua said with some concern.

"This is easy to handle, we just use plexiglass to separate it." Huang Zhongfang thought for a while and said.
