Back To The Age Of The 80s

Science is a discipline of discovery, and this characteristic is particularly obvious in biology.

Obviously knowing that the answer is not far away, but no matter how hard you try, it is always a little bit worse. The thin layer of yarn is like a boulder, lying on your way forward, making you unable to make any progress.

"No, no, neither is right." Li Zheng slumped in the chair, his eyes a little congested because he hadn't rest for a long time.

Merck has produced the first batch of Taxus chinensis. Because of its high toxicity, it is difficult to pass the international drug standards. Therefore, it is listed as a special traumatic drug. Only patients whose virus enters the outbreak period can apply for purchase.

After the yew fir came out and successfully rescued the patients during the first outbreak of the virus, the Doman government and the opposition officially signed a peace agreement on the second day. The agreement promised that no party would initiate a war within ten years.

Everything is moving in a good direction.

However, the research on the polygram virus vaccine was not so smooth. Li Zheng’s laboratory successfully screened out substances that may be antibodies in the Serval, but these injections into other subjects did not have the desired effect. The experimental process was also Suddenly fell into a state of stagnation.

"Li Zheng, Cape Town's call." Liu Sizhao's expression was a bit stern.

Li Zheng rubbed his temples and picked up the phone.

"Hello there."

"Hello, dear Mr. Li, I am Professor Laining from Cape Town. Our experiment has encountered a huge problem, so I have to disturb you."

"You are polite, we are a partner, we should have shared information." Li Zheng said with a smile.

Lenin on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, as if thinking about the words.

"Mr. Li Zheng, this is the case. The Cape Town Biological Laboratory also recently used Serval as a test subject to conduct a multi-gram virus biological test. But the results were very surprising. All six Servals died due to the virus outbreak. None One exception."

"So our preliminary conclusion is that there are no polygram virus antibodies in Serval's body." Laining said.

boom!

Li Zheng's brain seemed to be exploded.

"This is impossible." He retorted subconsciously, how is this possible! If there are no antibodies in the serval, how could the ten servals in his laboratory live to the present!

Professor Laining on the other end of the phone pondered for a moment, and continued: "Mr. Li Zheng, I don’t know which of our two experiments went wrong. I also very much hope this is our mistake, but we have done it three times. Experiment. Our experiment data can be sent to you by fax."

"Okay, my fax number is XXX-XXXX."

Not long after, Li Zheng received a fax from the University of Cape Town. The University of Cape Town had a lot of experimental data. The fax machine worked for two hours before transmitting all the data.

Li Zheng read the information carefully, his expression on his face became more and more serious.

"How is it possible, how is this possible..." He muttered to himself, comparing the experimental data of Cape Town with his own, exactly the same experiment, the same experiment subject, but got completely different experimental results.

Li Zheng only felt as if he had been splashed with cold water, and his whole body was cold.

"Where is the problem! What is the problem!" He tried to calm himself down.

Taking two deep breaths, Li Zheng took out an ice cube from the freezer and placed it on his forehead. The cold touch made his mind a little clearer.

Nowadays, the news that the Dok virus vaccine will be available has spread, and all Domans are looking forward to the birth of the vaccine. Even the whole world is paying attention to the progress of this experiment. If Li Zheng fails to produce results for a long time, let alone the people of Dorman will be disappointed. This will also be a huge blow to his reputation.

He closed his eyes and tried to follow his own thoughts. His experimental procedures were correct, and the experimental procedures of the Cape Town Biological Laboratory were correct. There must be something in the middle that he did not pay attention to, there must be!

"Let's do it again!" Li Zheng said calmly.

This was repeated several times.

Liang Zhe covered Li Zheng's eyes from behind, "Today is New Year's Eve."

It's 8:42 pm on December 31, 1984, and there are 3 hours and 18 minutes, which is 1985.

Liang Zhe could feel Li Zheng's eyelids move under his palm.

Li Zheng sighed lightly, and put his right hand on Liang Zhe's palm, "I see."

In the past few days, he has been repeating the Dok virus biological experiment, and his experimental results are not the slightest difference from the previous ones. These ten servals do have antibodies against Dok virus in their bodies. The Cape Town Laboratory was wrong?

No, it is impossible for a world-renowned laboratory to make such a low-level mistake. Something must have been overlooked by them, but what is this thing?

"I change my clothes and we will go to New Year's Eve together." Li Zheng said softly. Perhaps, there will be new inspiration for going out.

Xiangjiang University is very close to the Li Zheng laboratory, and it is only a 20-minute walk away. Today’s campus is much quieter than usual.

"The students have not returned during the Christmas holidays."

Li Zheng was stunned for a moment. Yes, the current Hong Kong is following the British habits, and Christmas is an extremely important holiday for them.

"Counting days, I should be a sophomore student now." Li Zheng passed by the teaching building where he had been in class and suddenly said.

At this time, a hearty voice came from behind the two of them, "You still know that you are a sophomore student."

Li Zheng turned his head and saw Xu Mingsheng strode towards them.

A look of surprise appeared on Li Zheng's face, "Teacher!"

He looked at Xu Mingsheng carefully, "It seems that your body is better."

Xu Mingsheng smiled and nodded. He patted his injured leg. "The operation was done very well at the beginning. Although it suffered from gout, he still walked very smoothly."

"After all, it was the operation performed by Professor Chen himself, so the master's technique is naturally excellent." Li Zheng teased.

Xu Mingsheng was taken aback. He obviously didn't expect this. After reacting, he laughed and said, "Yes, yes, our old Chen's professional skills are still passing the test."

All three laughed out loud.

Xu Mingsheng saw Liang Zhe next to Li Zheng and was taken aback. At this time, Mr. Liang was with Li Zheng, and he couldn't help feeling weird.

"Hello Professor Xu." Liang Zhe greeted Xu Mingsheng politely.

Neither Li Zheng nor Liang Zhe had serious elders. When facing Li Zheng's grandfather and mother, Liang Zhe was nervous, but because of Li Zheng's unclear attitude, he did not have any chance to contact them directly.

However, Xu Mingsheng and Li Zheng have a friendship between teacher and apprentice. Teachers, in the traditional Chinese culture, are definitely the elders who are serious.

"Hello, Mr. Liang." Xu Mingsheng changed his casual attitude towards Li Zheng and greeted Liang Zhe politely.

"The professor is an elder, so just call me Liang Zhe."

The doubts in Xu Mingsheng's heart are even greater. Although he is a professor at Hong Kong University, Liang Zhe is the helm of the Liang family after all, and one of the highest status in Hong Kong. This is whether Mr. Liang is a bit too polite to him.

Seeing that the teacher's suspicion was almost written on his face, Li Zheng couldn't help coughing and quickly changed the subject.

"Teacher, why are you still at school so late? Didn't the teacher wait for you to join the New Year?"

Xu Mingsheng looked at Li Zheng, and then at Liang Zhe, “After being ill for so long, the progress of the project fell suddenly. Taking advantage of these few days’ free time, I did more.”

Xu Mingsheng’s antibiotic research continues. Although carbapenem antibiotics have been studied, with the abuse of antibiotics, drug-resistant strains develop rapidly. Once antibiotic research fails to keep up with the development of drug-resistant strains, this It will be a disaster for the entire human race.

"Teacher, the project is important but the body is more important. You must take your body into consideration."

"You also said me, you got into the laboratory as soon as you came back from Doman. How long has it been. I wanted to see you a long time ago, but I was afraid that it would disturb your research. I will return it to you as it is. The project is important and the body More importantly," Xu Mingsheng said irritably.

"Also, the yard and the school have discussed it, you student, we will let you bear the name of a sophomore at Xiangjiang University. We must be scolded to death outside, so prepare, early next year , The School of Medicine of Hong Kong University will hold a separate graduation defense for you."

"In this defense, all the professors of the Hong Kong University School of Medicine will participate, and the medical departments of the University of Tokyo, Seoul University, and the National University of Singapore will also send people to participate."

"Hey, don't look at me like this." Seeing Li Zheng's expression a little weird, Xu Mingsheng touched his nose with a guilty conscience. The reputation of university students is not fake, our students have made such a big name, we are not allowed to show off! They have the ability to pick up a baby like this."

In the last sentence, Xu Mingsheng's voice was extremely low, as if he was speaking to himself.

"Teacher..." Li Zheng said helplessly, but he was more happy in his heart. With his current international status, the reputation of Xiangjiang University's students is no longer a help but a resistance. Now Xiangjiang University does this to him. Naturally it is a good thing.

"I see, sir, I will prepare well. I will definitely not shame you and Xiangjiang University."

"No shame, no shame." Xu Mingsheng smiled into a flower.

Unable to bear Xu Mingsheng's warm invitation, Li Zheng and Liang Zhe followed Xu Mingsheng back to his home.

"Old Chen, look at who I brought back." Xu Mingsheng said loudly to the door before he even entered the door.

Chen Sufen came out from inside, "Who can make you so excited."

With a smile in her voice, the smile on her face became more obvious when she saw Li Zheng.

"Xiao Zheng, come, come, come in. You should have come to sit at home." She took Li Zheng's hand and said enthusiastically.

"Mr. Liang?" Pulling over Li Zheng, Chen Sufen saw Liang Zhe on the side, with a little uncertainty on her face.

"Well, this is my good friend, Liang Zhe." Li Zheng introduced to Chen Sufen on his own initiative.

"Mr. Liang, come in quickly. The supper is hot on the pot. Let's have some together."

The two were greeted enthusiastically into the living room.

Two cats that looked exactly the same were already lying on the sofa in the living room. When someone came in, the eyelids of the two cats raised and ignored them.

Li Zheng laughed dumbly, "I didn't expect you to have this interest, Master."

"I'm getting older and the child is not around, so I rely on these two little guys to make fun. Don't see them look exactly the same, but their habits are completely different."

"The one on the left was raised at home since childhood. It has a delicate body and expensive body. It will have diarrhea when eating some human food. It can only be fed to cat food. The one on the right is only wild, and its teeth are broken even with bones. The dog is fierce."

"Life is so interesting. It's obviously the same kind of creature, but different environments can make them so different. The mysteries of biology are really endless."

"When" the New Year's Eve bell of the church not far away was rang.

The bell statement was ringing in his ears, but Li Zheng felt that he was ringing in his mind. He stood up suddenly and ran to the door quickly.

"Teacher, Master, I suddenly remembered something, I have to leave first!" As he said, he ran into the night without looking back.

Liang Zhe said sorry to the two of them, and left after Li Zheng.

At this time, the clock on the wall stopped at position 12. It announced the end of 1984 and the arrival of 1985.
