The second teaching building has many biology experts and professors from other universities today.

Including Tongji, Fuqi, Jiaotong University, Southeast and Jinling and other seven or eight universities.

They all came here after hearing that someone had successfully modified the aphid gene.

The key point is not in aphids, but in [genetic modification].

Laymen are not too sensitive to the word "genetic modification" with a certain science fiction color, but in the biological world, it can be on an equal footing with the highest monument of "what is life".

All topics related to genetic modification will quickly become the focus of attention in the biological world.

It is precisely because of this that when I heard that someone had successfully modified the aphid gene, you can imagine how excited these biological experts were?

If it weren't for the fact that experts and scholars from many universities had not received the news, it would be no exaggeration to say that biological experts from all over China would have rushed back.

Although Zhou Wen knows that genetic modification technology is very important, he still does not have a more intuitive understanding.

When he saw the black heads in the large conference room and the gray-haired scholars in the front seats, his mind was a little confused.

"These people...... Are they all here to attend the defense meeting?"

The undergraduates, master's students and doctoral students of the Department of Biology of Jiangzhou University are basically all here.

Soon, someone at the scene recognized Zhou Wen, and hundreds of pairs of eyes looked at him together.

There was a moment of silence in the conference room, followed by a "buzzing" conversation.

Xu Shuangyu had already found a place to sit down, and Zhou Wen stubbornly walked towards the front of the conference room.

A senior in charge of the scene saw Zhou Wen coming, led him to the second row and sat down, and then whispered, "You sit here first, and the teacher will come immediately." ”

Zhou Wen nodded.

After knowing his identity, the experts and professors around him stared at him one after another and looked at him very uncomfortably.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Wang Huiyao and the two leaders of the Academy of Biological Sciences came over.

The row of professors sitting in front of them got up.

"Hello Professor Zhang. ”

"Director Qian, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come here unharmed. ”

"Professor Zeng, I read your last paper, it's very enlightening......

A group of experts and professors praised each other, and then sat down separately.

The two leaders walked towards the podium, and Wang Huiyao walked up to Zhou Wen and said with a smile: "Follow me." ”

Zhou Wen got up and followed Wang Huiyao to the podium.

When the two leaders on the stage waited for Zhou Wen to come over, they nodded at him with a smile.

This is already a big face, after all, neither side knew each other before.

Then the leader sitting in the main seat patted the microphone and said: "First of all, on behalf of the School of Life Sciences of Jiangzhou University, I welcome all my colleagues......

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The leader knew that he was not the protagonist today, and he was also very knowledgeable, and after giving a welcome speech, he handed the microphone to Wang Huiyao.

Wang Huiyao didn't talk too much nonsense, and after a brief two-sentence speech, he cut the topic into genetic modification.

"As we all know, genetic modification is the separation of deoxyribonucleic acid, commonly known as DNA, from living organisms through biotechnology and recombination.

By deleting or adding different chromosomes by various means or techniques, the modified genes can function in the organism to intervene in the genetic characteristics of the organism......"

After Wang Huiyao concisely introduced genetic modification, he turned to the genetic modification technology of rice aphids that he studied.

Seriously, if it weren't for Zhou Wen's successful transformation of the genes of rice aphids, Wang Huiyao would not have dared to bring this topic to the table.

Everyone knows that the actual situation is to sell dog meat on the head of a sheep, just don't expose you, but don't show off your IQ, it's easy to attract hatred.

Because not every professor can apply for project funding, many biology professors with poor interpersonal relationships are not doing well.

And then other people are gnawing cabbage there, and you are eating meat there, and you are still smacking, this is not looking for smoking.

"At present, we mainly use heavy metal chemical drugs to mutate the genes of aphids......

Speaking of this, Wang Huiyao blushed a little.

It's okay to fool a layman with some things, but now the people sitting in the audience are all peers, and they are all authoritative experts in the industry, and he is really embarrassed to talk about it.

After all, he still needs face.

Wang Huiyao covered his mouth and coughed, and then said, "Then I will invite Zhou Wen to give a wonderful explanation to everyone." ”

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The large conference room burst into applause.

Zhou Wen stood up and said a little nervously: "Dear leaders, teachers and students, good morning...... everyone"

After the opening remarks in Mandarin, Zhou Wen explained directly in English.

"First of all, please remember a concept that will help you understand what I'm going to talk about next.

The conservatism of heredity is relative rather than absolute, and there is widespread variation in nature.

The relative stability of genetic information is the molecular basis for the stability of a species, but it does not mean that there is no distinction between individuals of the same species......"

Zhou Wen talked about his idea of modifying the genes of rice aphids.

The main thing is genetic engineering, which is the most cutting-edge knowledge in the world, and then some genetic coding is added, making his words sound unfathomable.

The scene was silent, and hundreds of experts, professors and students listened to Zhou Wen's explanation without blinking.

However, 80% of the people were confused at this time, and they couldn't understand what Zhou Wen was talking about at all.

Among the remaining 20%, although some of them understood, and they also heard some of the questions in Zhou Wen's words, no one questioned them out loud, and it was not too late to ask them in the question session.

After Zhou Wen finished talking about the idea, he did not talk about the experimental process.

Because it doesn't matter, everyone is waiting to see the results of the experiment.

Zhou Wen took out the USB flash drive from his pocket and walked to the projector in the corner.

Insert the USB flash drive into the projector and start to explain the PPT.

"Everyone, please look at the big screen, this is a sample of the second generation of aphids, you look at the wings, under the action of heavy metal chemicals, a large number of deformed children have appeared in them......"

Zhou Wen made a demonstration of the genetic mutation form of aphids.

Except for Wang Huiyao, who had seen the detailed experimental data, everyone at the scene was shocked by the pictures on the PPT.

Such complete genetic modification data is very precious and has a very positive significance for promoting the discipline of genetic engineering in China.

Of course, the main reason is that genetic modification has been successful.

If it fails, then there will be no defense.

No one in this world cares about losers.

At the end of the slide, Zhou Wen released the results of the experiment.

"I added some biological agents to the original heavy metal chemical drugs, and finally succeeded in reducing the reproduction rate of aphids by more than 30%...... Everyone, please look at the big screen. ”

As groups of data from the screen combined with pictures appeared, a noise rang out in the large conference room.

Everyone in the front row of professors was talking to each other.

There was excitement, strangeness, and suspicion on his face.

In addition to the professors in the front row, the students in the back were all amazed and admired.

They were amazed by Zhou's rich and solid theoretical foundation, those obscure biological formulas and genetic data, even doctoral students felt extremely difficult.

What's more, Zhou Wen is an undergraduate?

Chen Zhiyuan, Lu Niang, and Liu Yukun, who came to audit, were really curious at this time.

They are all good friends who fart and hear the sound, what level Zhou Wen's English is, they can't be clearer, just like them, they barely pass the fourth level.

But now look at this easy-to-use English explanation, which is the level of level 4, which is obviously the level of TOEFL 119.

I'm afraid he's too proud.

", when did Lao Zhou secretly learn English, this speaking level is simply first-class. ”

"What is the English level, you can see how high the gold content of Lao Zhou's words is by looking at the expressions of the professors in front of you. ”

"Alas, alas, do you think Lao Zhou is like the protagonist in the online article, did he get some golden finger......"
