For many people in the Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology of the Academy of Sciences, today is a tense and busy day, and Academician Zhong suddenly conveyed several tasks that need to be completed by everyone in the institute, and the shorter the time, the better.

For this sudden task, everyone is very confused, under normal circumstances, it is rare to give such an urgent task during the New Year, unless there is an irresistible order, but it is said that it is all said, but it has never been encountered.

In the molecular biology laboratory, many people are confused about this, what is going on? Why did this task come so suddenly? I have already encountered a lot of difficulties in upgrading the CRISPR system, and as a result, I suddenly have to complete some gene editing experiments, which is how much time there is.

"Academician Zhong?"

"It's... What the hell is going on here?" a young Ph.D. asked, "Aren't we looking at a breakthrough in the CRISPR system? It looks pretty simple. ”

"It's simple. ”

"But... Behind it is epoch-making significance. Academician Zhong said with a mysterious face: "Anyway, you hurry up, it's best to finish it in an hour, and I'll see how the other departments are doing? ”

Words fall,

Academician Zhong left the laboratory, leaving six or seven scientific researchers with bewildered expressions.

"Huh?"

"It's weird today!" a female researcher at the scene said curiously: "Such a simple experimental task, shouldn't we do it? It doesn't put any pressure on us at all. ”

however

A sense of sadness came up from the depths of my heart, I have been in the field of molecular biology for so long, and I have to say that I can't solve the problem of breakthrough in the CRISPR system... It's a pity.

"Anyway, there is no such possibility. The young doctor before said: "We suddenly asked to complete these experiments, in fact, the service object behind it is Professor Xu Mang, he asked Academician Zhong to let us complete these tasks in order to obtain relevant data, you recall what he said just now, epoch-making significance." ”

"The so-called epoch-making significance, I don't think it needs to be explained too much, it must be earth-shattering and crying ghosts and gods, otherwise it can't be called epoch-making significance. The young doctor continued: "What do you think of my opinion?"

Time

The lab was silent, not to mention... It sounds a little reasonable, it seems that Professor Xu Mang can have so much energy that Academician Zhong would rather use the power of this institute to verify a conclusion.

Case...

Could it be that Professor Xu has made a successful breakthrough in the field of gene editing?

A rather bold and unrealistic idea came to your mind, perhaps... Professor Xu Mang has really broken the world's problems, and a transcendent CRISPR system has been born in this world, but it needs to be verified.

"This..."

"Suddenly I have a chill in my back!" said one of the researchers, horrified, "if... If Professor Xu Mang develops a new system that surpasses the CRISPR system, this... Not only is it epoch-making, but it is clearly pushing the field of gene editing forward by ten years!"

Decade?

Is there really a decade?

In this era of the Big Bang technologically, ten years means a new change, but... Can Professor Xu's research results have such an effect?

Everyone present glanced at each other, and saw the doubts and expectations in each other's eyes, if all this is true, then he is also the promoter of this explosion of biological technology, and he is a little excited to think about it.

meanwhile

In several other labs,

A similar topic is also staged, for this mysterious experiment that cannot know the reason, many people point the finger at Xu Mang, almost everyone in the Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology of the Academy of Sciences knows that Xu Mang is upgrading the CRISPR system.

"Old Bell?"

"Are you nervous now?" Academician Chu glanced at Academician Zhong, who was standing beside him with a serious attitude, and asked curiously: "What if you fail? Are you ready to fail? You can't trust unconditionally, right?"

"Failure?"

"If you fail... Let's start again, but I believe in Professor Xu's ability, and based on past experience, the probability of success is very high. Academician Zhong said seriously: "Don't think that Professor Xu Mang just spent so many days, who can know the bitterness behind this?"

"yes!"

Who can understand the bitterness behind it, everyone only sees his successful side, but they don't think about how hard the success is earned. Academician Chu said helplessly: "I think just a few photos of Professor Xu Mang's work are not enough, it is better to have a special documentary of him to take pictures of his usual work." ”

“...”

"Don't, don't!" Academician Zhong refused nervously, and said solemnly: "He... He's not what you think, I've been in contact with him once, he's a... A person you don't want to contact again after you come into contact, the bitterness I mean is just a casual remark, don't take it too seriously. ”

Academician Chu: ???

This...

That sounds weird!

It seems that Xu Mang is not the kind of... Everyone imagines that the man, he... What kind of person exactly?

"Ahem!"

"That's... What kind of person is Xu Mang?" Academician Chu asked with a confused expression: "If he wasn't that kind of hardworking person, what kind of person would he be?"

Hearing Academician Chu's words, Academician Zhong said helplessly: "He... Alas... The president of Fudan University and Professor Xu Mang are related, and I know from the mouth of the president of Fudan University that this relative of his is not ordinary stubborn, and he is lazy to death, and he will never sit for you if he can lie down. ”

"What about standing?"

"It's all lying down... Will you still stand?" Academician Zhong smiled bitterly: "There is one more point... The fruit in his hands is valuable. ”

Fruit?

What do you mean?

Academician Chu couldn't understand the meaning of Lao Zhong's words, and asked curiously: "What fruit?

Academician Zhong shook his head and said seriously: "For example, when he comes to see you, shouldn't ordinary people bring a fruit basket to meet at this time? I'm sorry, he bought it for himself, just to covet you. ”

This...

That sounds a little weird!

"Old Bell?"

"Isn't every genius a big wonder?" Academician Chu frowned and said seriously: "I feel that geniuses are often related to madmen. ”

"That's right!"

"He's such a person, he doesn't look like a person, but behind the scenes, he's a big scientist. Academician Zhong said helplessly: "This time next year, he will be our colleague." ”

"You..."

"Have you received the news?" Academician Chu looked at Lao Zhong in surprise.

"Hmm!"

"He could have become an academician a long time ago, but at that time he was afraid of public opinion. Academician Zhong said: "Now there is no such concern at all, and it should be expected that he will become an academician." ”

Then

Academician Zhong's office,

A landline suddenly rang, interrupting the conversation between the two, and after a glance at the caller, it turned out to be an internal phone.

"Phone call from the molecular biology laboratory. ”

Academician Zhong picked up the phone and asked curiously, "Hey, is there something wrong?"

"Academician Zhong. ”

"We have completed the experiment, and the relevant data has been sent to your mailbox, please pay attention to check it. ”

"Hmm!"

"Okay. ”

hang up

Academician Zhong raised his head, glanced at his colleagues, and said solemnly: "The molecular biology laboratory has been completed, or... Let's compare them first?"

moment

The two sat together, found one of the many data passed by Xu Mang, and began to compare.

Just a minute later,

All that was left of the office was the rapid breathing of the two men.

...

Modu International Hotel,

Xu Mo was accompanying Xiao Man and the employees in her company to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and by the way, several brothers were also present, but Xu Mo and Xiao Man sat at the main table and ate with a group of relevant leaders of the magic capital, of course, not so high-level, at most regional.

In the face of these people,

The little couple didn't care at all, they still maintained their own style, Xu Mang drank coconut water, Xiao Man drank juice, everyone else was white, there was no way... The level present was not high enough to allow the two of them to drink.

"Professor Xu!"

"Come on, come on... I'll toast you, I'll do it, you feel free!" a middle-aged man picked up his wine glass with a smile and said to Xu Mang.

Faced with such an occasion,

Xu Mang has always been disgusted, but he can't help it, so he can only sit there and eat food crazily, and then hehehehehe

"Mr. Yang?"

"Does your company have any plans for next year?" a balding man asked curiously, "If anything, I'll turn on the lights for you in advance." ”

"Next year..."

"I don't know. ”

"But the only thing that is certain is that the company needs to scale. Yang Xiaoman said indifferently: "Don't give me any convenience, everything depends on bidding, I believe that no one can take the land from me." ”

“...”

“...”

“...”

There is some rampantity, but it is true.

There's really no one who can take the land she wants, besides... And no one dared.

"Huh?"

"I'm sorry... I answered a phone call. Xu Mang glanced at the caller and found that it was Academician Zhong calling, so he hurriedly picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Professor Xu?"

"Anyway, can you come to the Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology tomorrow?" Academician Zhong's tone was a little hurried, revealing a hint of nervousness.

Hearing the words of Academician Zhong,

Xu Mang was even more nervous than him, and said with a surprised face: "Tomorrow? Is there an accident? I'll look at the flight, and I'll come right over!"

Words fall,

The atmosphere at this table instantly became tense, so tense that even the air was still.
