Chapter 22: Resurrecting the Mammoth?

Obviously, the small snow slope under Han Zhou's feet is an icy cemetery where many mammoths are buried.

It has high scientific research value and economic value.

Because mammoth ivory can be sold for a lot of money.

Han Zhou is not short of money. But there is a lot of interest in the scientific value of mammoth remains.

If this prehistoric giant beast can be reproduced in the human world through biological means, it will definitely cause a sensation in the world.

There is a famous Hollywood movie, Jurassic Park.

It mainly tells the story of Dr. Hammond convening a large number of scientists to use the dinosaur blood in the body of a prehistoric mosquito condensed in amber to extract the genetic genes of the dinosaurs, resurrect the prehistoric behemoth that has been extinct for 65 million years, and make the entire Isla Nublar a paradise for dinosaurs, that is, the story of "Jurassic Park".

In fact, in the real world this is not possible. The blood of a 65-million-year-old dinosaur, even if it was sealed in amber, could not extract the gene fragments because the structure was all destroyed.

Of course, this line of thinking is feasible for more recent organisms.

"Resurrecting the mammoth" is not a fantasy.

In recent years, many scientists have been working this great idea.

Research has been going on since 1997. Researchers have conducted three surveys of Siberian permafrost excavations to obtain mammoth skin and muscle tissue. However, most of the nuclei of these tissues were damaged by the ice crystals and could not be used, and the plan was thwarted.

In 2008, a team led by Dr. Teruhiko Wakayama at the RB Institute of Physics and Chemistry produced the world's first cloned mouse from cells from mouse carcasses that had been cryopreserved for 16 years.

RB professor Akira Irita's team has developed a new technology based on Teruhiko Wakayama's method. As long as 2 to 3 percent of the thawed tissue nuclei are not damaged, they can be extracted intact using new techniques.

They hope to extract normal nuclei from the frozen cells of mammoths, and through genetic technology, cloned into the uterus of modern African elephants, and give birth to embryos.

In 2011, the source of the mammoth organization was also secured, and the conditions for viability were finally in place. If all goes well, it is possible that a baby mammoth will be born around 2017.

And then it's 2020 now...... Still nothing at all.

The estimation failed, and the stone sank into the sea.

Speculation is that the reason for the failure is the rejection of pregnancy in the womb. For transferred embryos, the mother is bound to experience immune rejection, and mammoth embryos may be destroyed before they can form organs.

Han Zhou filled the earth back into the hole that had been dug up, covering up the traces of the mammoth graveyard.

I got some snow and covered it.

He is alone and cannot exploit this precious paleontological resource.

Keep it for now, and then think of a way to see if you can get it to China.

It is handed over to a professional scientific research institution for research.

......

With the treasure he found, Han Zhou drove back to the city.

Novosibirsk.

With the help of the Jiangdong Association, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce was contacted locally, and the person in charge was contacted.

When the fellow saw the fellow, his eyes were full of tears.

The fellow is very welcoming,

Invite Han Zhou to eat traditional Russian food.

Beetroot soup, large lieba.

A variety of sweets.

Cheese pancakes. Stir in cheese, eggs and flour and fry in a pan, sprinkle with diced fruit or nuts and drizzle with cream, jam or honey.

Baklava. The nut crisp of sunflower seeds, stuffed with sunflower seeds, is crispy and delicious, and it is crispy when you bite it.

Honey cake. It is a Russian tiramisu cake with 7 layers of beautiful white cream. The entrance is soft and has a hint of cocoa, sweet but not greasy, and the honey is light cream, with delicate and long layers. It combines the bitterness of distilled coffee, the moistness of eggs and sugar, the alcohol of sweet wine, the creaminess of chocolate finger biscuits, the thick aroma of cheese and whipped cream, and the dryness of cocoa powder. The "sweetness" and the various intricate experiences that sweetness can evoke are interpreted layer by layer to the extreme.

It's delicious.

Light drinks such as milk juice are not selected.

Instead, I chose vodka.

When you come to Russia, you always have to try vodka.

Vodka is the traditional liquor of Russia. Using grains or potatoes as raw materials, it is distilled to make alcohol up to 95 degrees, and then desalinated to 40 to 60 degrees with distilled water, and filtered through activated carbon to make the wine more crystal clear, colorless, light and refreshing.

It is a well-known spirit.

The fellow taught Han Zhou how to drink the Russians.

A small glass, a sip, 1 shot.

Then bury your head in your arm, or take a rag, leather, or something that smells like that, and bury your head in it.

Breathe deeply, to make that clear inhalation sound.

After a little bit of wine, I look up and eat. Generally, you can eat some dry meat, salted meat, marinated herring and the like, and you can eat bread, but you don't pay attention to this, mainly to drink.

The fellow looked around and said, "It's a pity." ”

Han Zhou asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The fellow explained that if you were in the wilderness, in the birch forest, drink vodka.

That's what it's called an authentic tunnel. Capped.

If you can encounter a wild beast such as a bear in the forest, it is even better, a few big men rush over and beat them to play.

Han Zhou said: "You are drunk. ”

......

The fellow is drunk and needs to take a break.

Han Zhou walked out of the restaurant and called Wang Shenghai to tell him about the discovery of the "frozen mammoth graveyard". I hope to get these mammoths back to China and do research.

Wang Shenghai was very excited when he heard this, although he was not an expert in this area. But he has a friend who is an expert in mammoths and has been working to resurrect extinct creatures.

Wang Shenghai said: "I'll contact him first and ask about his wishes." I'll let Mr. Han know when there's news. ”

"By the way, Mr. Han, we have made initial progress in the development of the cancer drug 'Baoxiangsu'. We had a student, a genius boy, who quickly found an industrial method that could be easily prepared just by virtue of the molecular structure, and God helped us. Although the production efficiency is not high, there is still room for improvement. ”

"It is expected that mass production will be available in three months. The output can reach 1,000 servings/day. ”

Han Zhou said: "Okay, keep working hard." ”

......

After making the call.

The fellow has already vomited and is in much better shape.

Another hour of rest, chatting.

Han Zhou asked: "I have a handwritten manuscript in my hand, written in Russian, I don't know what the content is, where can I identify it?"

The fellow said: "What is the nature of the manuscript?letter?notebook?notebook?"

Han Zhou said: "I don't know, but it's been a few years, and it's probably a cultural relic." ”

The fellow said: "I have a friend who is of mixed Chinese and Russian descent, specializing in the antique and cultural relics business. I live around here, I'll take you there and ask him to help you get it identified. ”
