United States,

Stanford University,

Faculty of Humanities and Natural Sciences.

Professor Burton Rich, head of the Department of Biological Sciences, has just arrived in his office, and unlike Westerners who like coffee, Professor Burton Richmond is a Hua Guotong who likes to drink green tea, which is unique to China.

He likes this unfermented drink very much, after killing, shaping, drying and other processes, because the tea made without fermentation retains the natural substances of fresh leaves, and contains tea polyphenols, catechins, chlorophyll and other nutrients, and these ingredients have special effects on anti-aging, anti-cancer, anti-cancer, sterilization, anti-inflammatory, etc.

Hate!

Why doesn't the United States have this kind of green tea?

Everyday Coffee Coffee Coffee... And I drank it desperately, and it was the amount of seven or eight cups when I drank it, and I didn't know that coffee was a B2 carcinogen?

Holding a high-grade glass in his hand, the cup was green tea given to him by Chinese students, not to mention... This batch of tea is very good, and these Chinese students are very attentive.

Professor Burton Richter likes Chinese students more than his own students, they are not only talented, but also very hard-working, who doesn't like such students? At the same time, these people are squeezing employment opportunities for biology students in the United States.

Although Professor Burton Richter is very disgusted with those students in his country who do not seek to improve, but after all, he has no way but to let 95% of the international students go back as soon as they complete their undergraduate studies, and do not give them the opportunity to stay and continue their studies.

Of course

Professor Burton Richter will not let go of those particularly outstanding students, even if these students are eager to return to China, and there is no such opportunity, such as a Chinese girl under Burton Rich, who basically does not find any other words except for being a genius.

Bang bang bang!

There was a knock at the door, and a girl with an Asian face walked in.

"Professor Burton... Why can't I graduate?" The girl asked curiously, "My grades have reached the graduation standard, and it stands to reason that the school should graduate me, but why can't I get a doctorate?" ”

Professor Burton Richter said helplessly, "Wang... Why do you want to return to China so much? It should be better to stay here with your professional level, which will give you more resources, and you will not be able to enjoy these high-precision equipment in China. ”

“...”

"Professor Burton, I just want to go back to my hometown, that's all," the girl said seriously, "and I don't think Huaguo is very bad in the field of biological sciences, and even in the field of gene editing, it is also very strong." ”

"Really?"

"But you have to admit it, not as strong as America. Professor Burton Richter said bitterly, "Well... Think about it again, if you're willing to stay, I can apply to the school and get you nominated for an associate professor, how about that?"

Time

The girl was stunned, she couldn't imagine that Burton Richie would make such a condition in order to keep her.

"Go back. ”

"Think about it, you are far less powerful in China than in China, there are no authoritative experts in this area, and the Stanford Nobel laureate is eighty-three. Professor Burton Richter said solemnly, "Think again. ”

Dilemma, embarrassing situation, this girl silently left Professor Burton Rich's office, wanting to return to China is a little urgent, but on the other hand, it is extremely tempting conditions, which... What should I do?

Back to the dormitory,

She was questioned by her roommates.

"Xiao Xin?"

"What did the professor say?" a Chinese female student asked curiously, "Is it because you are so good, and then Professor Burton Richter will deliberately intercept you?" If so, it will be miserable, and you will basically not be able to leave. ”

Wang Xin sighed and said helplessly: "Almost... However, Professor Burton Richter gave me a very tempting condition, as long as I was willing to stay, he would help me apply for the position of associate professor. What should I do?"

"What?!"

"The position of associate professor?" said Xiao Zhou with a surprised face, "Oh my God... If it were me, I'd stay, and you know how rare this opportunity is? and... Moreover, China is not very good in life sciences, and it is far from the United States. ”

"I..."

"I'll think about it again. Wang Xin sighed and said silently: "I'm very hesitant now, I don't know what to do... Let me think about it. ”

"Do you still need to think about this?" Xiao Tian shook his head and said seriously: "Xiao Xin... There is no need to hesitate to make a choice. ”

Wang Xin didn't speak, silently put on headphones, sometimes the people around you may affect your choice, at this time she listened to the music inside, and began to think about the future, thinking about the future of various situations.

meanwhile

Wang Xin's tongue Xiao Tian is visiting the website, although the two are at the same level, Xiao Tian is currently struggling to graduate from graduate school, and Wang Xin has risen to a doctorate at the speed of a rocket, and in the circle of international students at Stanford University, Wang Xin is a genius.

Pity...

Far away in China, there is a person who is more powerful than Wang Xin, and Wang Xin is at most a firefly by his side.

"it!"

"it!" Xiao Tian didn't know what he saw, his eyes widened, he stared at the screen, his expression gradually began to distort, and he hurriedly turned his head and shouted at Wang Xin: "Xiao Xin! Big news!"

however

In the face of Xiao Tian's shouting, Wang Xin was indifferent, after all, he was wearing headphones.

No way

Xiao Tian got up and ran to Wang Xin's side, took off the headphones she was carrying, and faced Wang Xin with a confused face, Xiao Tian shouted: "Xiao Xin... There's something big going on in biology, and the news is all about it, so take a look!"

"Huh?"

"What's the matter?" asked Wang Xin with a confused expression.

"Professor Xu!"

"Professor Xu has published a research report in the field of biology that shocked the world!" Xiao Tian's expression was a little frightened, and he said seriously: "He... He has developed a new gene editing tool that is more accurate and convenient than the previous CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system. It's your domain!"

Wang Xin: ???

What the?

Beyond CRISPR–Cas9 gene editing?

This can't be fake news, right?

Deliberately smearing Professor Xu?

In Wang Xin's cognitive view, the CRISPR–Cas9 gene editing system cannot be surpassed, even by Professor Xu Mang.

But...

Just three minutes later,

Wang Xin felt that he was wrong, very wrong, the reason why a miracle is called a miracle is because it is created by a few people, and ordinary people can't touch miracles at all, and Xu Mang is such a person, he is a minority among the few, and there is almost no second.

Then

Wang Xin felt ashamed, he was known as a rare genius in the circle of international students, but when facing Professor Xu Mang, his talent could also be called a genius?

"I've decided!"

"I... I want to return to China!" Wang Xin resolutely said: "Even if I am given five times the salary, I will return to China!"

...

At this point,

Professor Burton Richter was on official business, and at this time, for him, Wang Xin, a Chinese student, should not return to China, and in the face of such treatment, it is impossible to make the so-called request to return to China, unless he encounters irresistible forces.

"Hello?"

"What?"

"A new gene editing system?" Professor Burton Richter was stunned for a moment, and said angrily, "Are you kidding? Do you think the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system is said to be surpassed?"

Professor Burton Richter received a call from his colleague, who had a very high voice in biology and had been nominated for the Nobel Prize several times.

"Burton..."

"Don't be so stubborn, I don't want to admit it, but... And it really happened. The other party smiled bitterly: "You can go and see the latest issue of Nature for yourself, and the cover is his research report." ”

"Good!"

Hang up the phone,

Professor Burton Richter hurriedly turned on the computer, logged on to the official website of Nature, and then saw Xu Mang's research report "CRISPR-C2c1 Gene Editing System", and his expression gradually became a little weird.

"No..."

"It's... How is this possible?" Professor Burton Richter looked at him in disbelief that was completely beyond the scope of comprehension, the CRISPR–Cas9 gene editing system has been popular all over the world for so long, and as a result... It was suddenly terminated.

"No, no, no, no... This doesn't make sense!" Professor Burton Richter was completely confused, the previous AI solution to the protein structure has overshadowed many biologists around the world, and as a result... It's only been a long time since a system that goes beyond the CRISPR–Cas9 gene editing system has been born. It's just a joke.

Click on the article,

Professor Burton Richter only looked at it for about ten seconds, and the expression on his face was like that of a ghost, and he swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty, "Oh God! What exactly did I see? Is this all true?"

How far did he bring the scope of C2c1's work to such an extent?

How?

Oh, my God!

Just as Professor Burton Richter was still immersed in the 'future' world presented by Xu Mang, the office door rang... Then Wang Xin walked in, with a hint of determination on his face.

"Professor Burton..."

"I'm going to go back to my country... I think Huaguo is more suitable for my development, and I want to follow the footsteps of Professor Xu Mang and use the CRISPR-C2c1 gene editing system he developed to create my own value in biology. Wang Xin said seriously: "I'm sorry... Professor Burton, the United States cannot give me such an opportunity. ”

Hearing this,

Professor Burton Richter just felt a hot pain on his face, and just told Wang Xin that Huaguo couldn't provide her with a chance, and as a result... Less than an hour has passed, and Hua Guo has instantly ascended to the throne in the field of gene editing because of a research report by Xu Mang.

"I..."

"This—" Professor Burton Richter didn't know what to say for a moment.

suddenly

There was another sharp knock on the office.

"Professor!"

"The new IA 'Xu Man No. 2' has been launched!"
