Above the main entrance of the Huahan Gene Research Building, there is a line of eye-catching large characters: "Cure several diseases for the benefit of all mankind." ”

Shen Qi and his entourage followed Dean Li into the hall of the building, and what caught their eyes was a giant wall screen, and a Murakami-style face occupied half of the screen, which looked a little scary.

Under the screen, a microscope, a thermometer, a stethoscope, anesthetics, aspirin, a kidney dialysis machine, oral contraceptives, an endoscope, a pacemaker, and ...... All of them are important inventions of Western medicine.

The giant face on the screen spoke: "I will do my best to take medical measures that I believe will be beneficial to the patient, and will not cause pain and harm to the patient." I don't give poison to anyone, and I don't instruct anyone to use it. No matter who you enter, it's just to heal, not to do whatever you want, not to accept bribes, not to seduce the opposite sex......"

If he hadn't heard this famous saying, Shen Qi really wouldn't have recognized this giant face with a strong violent cartoon style as Hippocrates.

Hippocrates was a physician in the time of Peric, ancient Greece, and was hailed as the "father of Western medicine" by the Western medical community.

Shen Qi asked with interest: "Dean Li, this Hippocratic face was designed by you when you asked Takashi Murakami?"

"Yes, it's not expensive, it only cost more than seven hundred thousand dollars. Takashi Murakami's hand-drawn drawings were given to me by Mr. Lu, and in my office, it seems that Academician Shen also has a lot of research on art. Dean Li nodded and made a gesture of please: "Please inside." ”

The group walked along the west corridor, which was flanked by wall screens.

A bunch of faces on the screen stared at the passers-by, they were Galen, Vesalius, Pavlov, Hartville, Haymens, Landsteiner, Greenard, ...... Passing through this corridor, it seems that you have revisited the history of Western biomedical development.

Out of the corridor, suddenly enlightened.

This is a small hall with a tall solid statue in the center.

The busts of Watson and Crick, who are more than three meters tall, come to life, Watson looks up with deep eyes, and Crick is smiling.

In the middle of the statues of the two biologists stands a 5-meter-tall giant noose-like colorful model, which is a very vivid DNA double helix structure.

Everyone has a double helix structure in their body, and the essence of DNA is actually a nucleic acid molecule.

When the double helix structure nucleic acid molecule was magnified to the height of three people and appeared in front of Shen Qi and the others, they stopped and were in awe.

A voice sounded in the small hall: "The silicon age is over, the carbon age is coming as scheduled, what is carbon? Is it mice, viruses, genes, evolution, development, and life...... This is Carbon Age 1.0. We still have work to do, and we need to move into Carbon Age 2.0, which is synthetic mice, artificial viruses, engineered genes, compound evolution, data development, and artificial life...... Ladies and gentlemen, the revolution has not yet succeeded, and it must not stand still. I will always watch you and watch your fiery imagination dissipate ignorance and stubbornness and usher in a new era...... The era of silicon is over, and the era of carbon ......"

The sound loops and is reminiscent of the schoolmaster's announcement over the loudspeaker during the school day.

Shen Qi closed his eyes and listened, and his five doctoral students looked left and right, as if they wanted to find the speaker of this voice.

Dean Li gazed at the air with extreme reverence, his right index finger and middle finger together, the fingertips pressed against his navel, and his body was straight, as if performing some kind of etiquette.

Shen Qi opened his eyes suddenly, and he asked Dean Li: "Carbon Era 1.0, Carbon Era 2.0, who proposed these concepts?"

Dean Li returned to normal, and he said two words: "Boss." ”

Shen Qi asked again: "Isn't the boss of your company, Mr. Lu?"

Dean Li said as a matter of course: "Mr. Lu manages the company, and the boss guards the company." ”

"Oh, like this. Shen Qi said quietly, he felt that the boss mentioned by Dean Li seemed to be the spiritual leader of Dean Li, and Mr. Lu was just the administrative leader of Dean Li?

"The concept proposed by your boss is consistent with my academic thinking to a certain extent, what do you call your boss?" Shen Qi asked curiously.

Dean Li: "Boss. ”

"Oh, like this. "Shen Qi is getting more and more curious, this boss is quite mysterious, could it be that the boss is surnamed Lao Mingda?

Shen Qi put forward an ardent hope: "Then can I meet your boss?"

"I'm sorry, Academician Shen, our boss is not here. Dean Li shook his head apologetically, and said, "Let's go upstairs, there is an XT80 experiment today, I hope you can be satisfied." ”

Dean Li led Shen Qi and others to the second floor, and before entering the sterilization cabin, everyone changed into coveralls, masks, and hoods.

"Dean Li is young and promising, you are not yet forty years old this year, right?" Shen Qi was deeply impressed by this person at the first glance of Dean Li.

Dean Li has thick hair and ruddy skin, and he looks a few years older than Shen Qi.

It is very powerful that a person who is less than forty years old can become the president of the Huahan Research Institute.

"I'm not that young, I'm past the age of knowing my destiny. Dean Li smiled and guided Shen Qi's group of customers into the sterilization cabin to disinfect and sterilize.

After the necessary sterilization process was completed, everyone came to the experimental research area of the building.

Lab after lab door was closed, and a handful of researchers in white or blue jumpsuits and masks walked around the corridors, and could only be visually identified as male or female by their stature.

The temperature in the corridor area was about 15 degrees, much warmer than the snowy outside, but it made Shen Qi and the others feel a cold that penetrated deep into their bone marrow.

A door opened, and cold air swished down the hallway.

Shen Qi The cold that penetrated deep into the bone marrow intensified, and the room where the door was opened was the human embryo cryopreservation room.

A researcher walked out carrying a cylindrical container, which was steaming white.

The researcher nodded to Dean Li, Shen Qi and the others, and said hello, and then walked quickly to another room without saying a word.

The door of the human embryo freezer storage room closed automatically, and Shen Qi couldn't see the specific situation inside.

"Every fertilized egg is a potential person. We have more than a million people here. Dean Li followed the researcher carrying the human embryo container to the door of Laboratory 028, where the researcher had already entered.

"You have an army. Shen Qi said a word and followed Dean Li into Laboratory 028.

Laboratory 028 was much colder than the hallway, and the researchers were operating various instruments and quietly doing various experiments.

A delicate robotic hand disassembles and assembles samples in the billowing white mist, which are samples of DNA, bone marrow, umbilical cord blood, etc.

A robot the size of a little thumb receives samples in a transfer window, and a row of gene sequencers work at high speed and precision, emitting a faint green light reminiscent of fireflies at night in a cemetery.

Ahh

Han sneezed, he bent down slightly, and observed everything in the laboratory tightly, this posture made him feel a little warmer psychologically.

Very advanced laboratory.

This is Han Meng's intuitive feeling.

Han Meng, who studied and worked in the P4 National Biological Laboratory of Canada, felt that the laboratory of Huahan Gene was no worse than that of foreign countries.

From the hardware evaluation alone, Huahan Gene Laboratory has the strength of P4.

Miniaturization, automation, and digitization are fully used here, where samples are entered into a text library before sequencing, then read, and then mass-produced genetic code. These precise experiments are programmed by the researchers, and the rest of the molecular-level operations are handed over to highly automated and digitized robots, manipulators, and various instruments to complete.

The researchers here measure everything, corgis, British short, domestic pigs, wild boars, alpacas, penguins, rice, okra, E. coli, lactic acid bacteria, influenza virus, HIV, ...... and DNA samples from a variety of patients, including children with autism, women with diabetes, middle-aged men with tumors, elderly people with dementia, and even the dead.

Pander to...... Ahh

The posture of hugging his arms to keep warm made Han Meng feel even colder.
