University of California, Los Angeles,

Located in Los Angeles, USA, it is a world-renowned public research university, a member of the Pacific Rim University Alliance and the International Public University Forum, and was ranked first in the United States in the United States in the ranking of public universities last year, ranking first in the United States in the Most Value University Rankings, and also the university with the largest number of applicants in the United States.

The 10th Elite Forum of Gene Editing will be held here, bringing together top experts from all over the world to look forward to the future of gene editing, but today is a little different.

As a biennial elite forum, there are a lot of people who come this time, in addition to those experts who have been invited, there are also uninvited people, and their purpose is very simple, is to see what kind of changes Xu Mang can bring to the international gene editing elite forum this time.

At this point,

Professor Burton Richter, chair of the biology department at Stanford University, came to the venue, and in addition to meeting his old friend, he also met an unexpected person, Professor Smith from Princeton University, and he really couldn't understand why a person who was engaged in astrophysics should go to the fund's editorial forum.

"Smith?"

"You... Why are you here?" Burton Richie looked at him with a confused expression: "You don't do research at Princeton University, what are you doing at our gene editing forum? Do you know what gene editing is?"

“...”

"Burton... Don't look down on people. Professor Smith smiled and said, "Who said you can't understand gene editing if you do physics?" Don't you forget... Xu is a full member of the Princeton Astrophysical Society, and one of the core members. ”

Suddenly

Professor Burton Richter fell silent and had to say... This is indeed embarrassing, a theoretical physicist engaged in physics research, to toss a new gene editing system, this is simply a fairy tale.

"Huh!"

"Aren't you feeling particularly depressed?" Professor Smith patted his shoulder and said indifferently, "Don't worry... He can toss more than just gene editing, usually speaking... He can do anything, I think the Nobel Prize, he wants to win it all over. ”

"Possibly!"

"No!" retorted Burton Rich, "the Peace Prize... He can't get it in his life. ”

“...”

"How is the nuclear leveling award, I think he has hope. Smith smiled bitterly: "Burton... I heard that you have found a loophole in the gene editing system developed by Xu Mang? If you don't expose this vulnerability in front of the whole world, you'll get into trouble. ”

"Xu Mang... He has taken more than a billion dollars from us because many people continue to provoke him, and he has turned his anger into money. Professor Smith sighed and said helplessly: "Congress and the Physical Society must have his material database system, and he can only be caught in this situation indefinitely." ”

"This..."

"Is this system so urgent?" asked Professor Burton Rich, with a confused expression, "I'd rather lose more than a hundred billion." ”

"Yes!"

It has been included in the U.S. Global Defense White Paper. Professor Smith said, "Because this technology can control the entire Europa continent, it is so desperate to get the material database system in Xu Mang's hands." ”

Burton Richie had a hard time accepting such a situation, and when would the United States be held back by China?

"I think..."

"In that case, if I don't announce the same ending, will I not announce that Xu Mang will let you go? Will you give up the idea of continuing to ask for money? Impossible... He will continue to be greedy until a certain amount of money accumulates. ”

Smith nodded helplessly, although he didn't want to admit it, but the situation was true, although Xu Mang was a genius, his hostility towards Europe and the United States was greater than anyone else, and the hostility towards him from the European and American sides had also reached an unprecedented height.

"Anyway..."

"What loopholes did you find?" Smith asked.

"I'm sorry!"

"Although we have known each other for more than ten years, the relationship between you and Xu Mang makes it impossible for me to tell you this secret. Burton Richie said with a mysterious expression: "If you want to know, wait another hour, in an hour the summit is starting, and I will announce the vulnerability at a suitable time." ”

Hearing Burton Richter's words,

Professor Smith was helpless, and said earnestly, "Burton... This is undoubtedly infuriating Xu Mang, and he will soon take revenge on you in various ways... I know Xu Mang's character, he can do anything, you... You'd better settle it with him privately. ”

"How could I have missed such a great opportunity?" Professor Burton Richter laughed, "Don't worry... Don't worry about me. ”

meanwhile

Xu Mang, Xiao Zheng and Xiao Yi came to the venue, because there was still an hour, the three of them casually found a corner to sit down and started chatting, the two were curious about Xu Mang's recent expression, almost didn't go out much, and kept locked in the room.

"Professor Xu?"

"Do you have anything to prepare?" Xiao Yi asked curiously, "As a special guest of this forum, I usually express my opinions on the future of current gene editing technology, and I don't know what your opinion is." ”

"Don't say it!"

"I didn't prepare anything. Xu Mang said with a smile: "Time is too tight, I have been ... Solving a nuclear physics problem, and you know... The Xu Yang Research Institute has been officially launched, and is currently working on two topics, so how can I have time to prepare any speeches. ”

“...”

“...”

This seems to be the case,

The two of them didn't doubt Xu Mang's words, if other people said that they were busy, there might be some moisture, but if it was Professor Xu Mang, it was definitely really busy, after all, he was involved in so many fields, and even reached out to biology.

"Professor Xu?"

"Then are you going to improvise?" Xiao Yi asked: "I'm worried that someone will treat you badly and ask you all kinds of unreasonable questions, after all, you make them very faceless, and they will definitely make you very faceless." ”

"Cut!"

"Isn't there still a certain chance that its sequences can't be recombined correctly..."Xu Mang shrugged his shoulders and said calmly: "Compared with the previous system, the success rate of my system has increased several times, and they are just picking thorns." ”

Picking...

It's picking a bone in an egg, that's American style!

"They just need to embarrass you, nothing else. Xiao Zheng said: "Infinitely magnify a problem, and then find fault in all kinds of ways, these are what the United States is best at." ”

Xu Mang said casually: "It's all the same... There is also such a group of people in China, but they all appear on the Internet. ”

“...”

“...”

The two did not speak, and recently because of Professor Xu Mang's opinion on the collider, he was met with unprecedented opposition on the Internet, and at the same time, because of this matter, he resigned from Fuda, I have to say... This is a tragedy, a tragedy of scientific revolution.

I'm afraid the future... Exploration in this area will be difficult, and even if there are ten figures like Professor Xu, it will not be possible to shorten the backward situation.

"Professor Xu?"

"By the way, what are you doing when you borrowed my computer?" Xiao Yi asked cautiously, "Are you downloading movies?"

Xu Mang was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "Do I need to download it? My wife is the kind of person you say dare to touch it, and the legal violence that started three years is short and flat, do I need it? I'm doing PPT. ”

Xiao Yi: Embarrassed

Xiao Zheng: Embarrassed

I heard that Professor Xu was married, but I never expected it to be such a type.

It seems that Professor Xu...

"Hey, hey!"

"Professor Xu?"

"I can't imagine you... Hey, hey, hey. Xiao Zheng said with a smile: "It's a pity that I'm already thirty, if I were ten years younger, I would marry you!"

"Huh!"

"Think beautifully!" Xu Mang smiled, and then said, "That's right... What do I need to work at your institute?"

"Huh?"

"Uh... Depending on what type of internship, if it is an internship, an excellent student from a first-class university is fine, and if it is a researcher, the requirements are a bit high. Xiao Zheng said, "Professor Xu, do you want to recommend someone else?"

"Hmm!"

"A Ph.D. from Stanford University came to me yesterday and said that she had been detained by her professor and would not be given a degree certificate if she returned to China. Xu Mang said: "I want to recommend her to your research institute, and it's okay... It has its own research report in the academic journal of SCI Zone 1. ”

"If true..."

"I believe that she is absolutely qualified for this job, even if she doesn't have a degree certificate, after all, Professor Xu, who would dare not recommend you?" Xiao Zheng said with a grin.

Then

Professor Smith found Xu Mang, and the two stood in the corner.

"Professor Smith?"

"How can I meet you here?" Xu Mang said with a surprised face, "You still know about gene editing?"

"Ahem. ”

"Passing through here... Just come and see you. Professor Smith said, "Xu Mang... When exactly will the materials database system be completed? The Physics Society is going crazy about to wait!"

Xu Mang said with a smile on his face: "Good things are grinding... I'm a person who pursues perfection, don't worry... Delivery is not possible in a short time. ”

“...”

"Forget it... I just asked, I just helped them with a word. Professor Smith looked at Xu Mang seriously and said solemnly, "Be careful... Wait a minute, you might get into a lot of trouble. ”

"Oh!"

"Everything is under control!" Xu Mang said.

...

Long

The International Gene Editing Elite Forum begins,

The host came to the stage and began to talk a bunch of nonsense, according to which it was estimated that it would take fifteen minutes.

At this point,

Standing in the background, Xu Mang was flipping through a magazine when a voice came from behind.

"Is it Professor Xu Mang?"

Back

Seeing an old man in his fifties and sixties, looking at him curiously, Xu Mang asked with a confused face, "Who are you?"

"Forgot to introduce yourself... Burton Richford, Stanford University. Professor Burton Richter said, "Professor Xu is really young. ”

Words fall,

Burton Richter asked, "Professor Xu... You're about to go on stage, are you ready?"

"Huh. ”

"Always ready!" Xu Mang smiled indifferently.
