Yang Xiaoman drove alone and went to Xu Mang's home, although there was some loneliness, but when Xu Mang's half foot stepped into the field of scientific research, she had already realized it, but if she could, Xiaoman was quite opposed to Xu Mang's scientific research, she was not a saint after all.

Long

When she came to the door of Xu Mang's house, Xu's mother received her daughter-in-law enthusiastically, and saw that she had bought expensive jewelry for herself, saying that she was a waste, but her heart was actually happy, and she couldn't wait to take a loudspeaker to show off to the whole community.

"Little Manna. ”

"I have to buy such expensive jewelry every time I come back, don't do it next time. Mother Xu pretended to be angry and said, "You can come back..."

Words fall,

Mother Xu said with some anger: "This stinky boy, he actually ran out after the New Year, and he won't even go home, fortunately, you remember... When he comes back, I'll break his dog's leg and see if he can't get out!"

Although Xu's mother does not have a high level of education, she still understands the truth, she knows that her son is a scientist, and it is the norm not to go home during the New Year, but in the face of her daughter-in-law, she must scold her son fiercely, at least to make Xiaoman feel better.

"Mom..."

"Xu Mang is on a mission, and it is normal for him not to be able to come back. Yang Xiaoman smiled bitterly: "Actually... I'm used to it. ”

"Alas... I'm sorry for you..."Mother Xu held Xiao Man's hand and said with a sad face: "I don't know why, this stinky boy used to have poor grades, either the first or the second to last in the class, and suddenly became a scientist, and I didn't even have any defense." ”

Oh, yes!

It was so sudden!

Yang Xiaoman is also full of doubts about this, but she is more likely than her mother-in-law to accept the fact that Xu Mang has changed, there is no way... I'm such a wangfu.

It was half past five in the afternoon,

In the private room of a five-star hotel in Ning City, Yang Xiaoman sat next to his mother-in-law and greeted Xu Mang's relatives one by one, and although Xu Mang's relatives were all doing business, when facing Yang Xiaoman, these elders did not dare to show the posture that the elders should have.

Eating delicious food, thinking that her husband is still rushing in the laboratory, I feel sad and helpless at the same time, this big idiot... It's obvious that you can push it off, but you want to take the responsibility on yourself, it was originally someone else begging us, and now...

Suddenly,

Yang Xiaoman felt that these meals were tasteless, as long as she thought of Xu Mang's situation at this time, she felt upset, and then she had no appetite.

Originally, I should have gone to toast at this time, but everyone present understood that if Lao Xu's daughter-in-law was toasted at this time, I was afraid... There is no good fruit to eat in the future, Lao Xu's son is not ordinary now, a great scientist... is also Yang Jian's son-in-law, some jokes are not allowed, and it is easy to make trouble.

meanwhile

Academician Zhong was also having a reunion dinner, but his mood was not very high at this time, Xu Mang had already taken the responsibility and promised that it would be completed after the year, but when he thought of it, this matter obviously had nothing to do with him, and as a result... He took on responsibilities that should not have been borne by him.

"What's wrong?"

"I've been crying and mourning since I came back, can you laugh?" Academician Zhong's wife glanced at her husband and said angrily: "Don't bring bad luck to the New Year, you are like this... How are you going to celebrate the New Year?"

"Hehe..."

Academician Zhong tried to pull his emotions back, and smiled at his daughter-in-law: "I understand... Don't always preach to me, I'm also an academician of the Academy of Sciences, how many people respect me, and only you are always angry with me as an academician. ”

Academician Zhong's wife glared at him and said helplessly: "In short, don't put on a bitter gourd face in front of these juniors. ”

As soon as the voice fell,

I couldn't help but ask curiously, "Anyway... Didn't you come back? Why did you come back all of a sudden? Did your project get canceled?"

"Nope. ”

"Does Xu Mang know?" asked Academician Zhong.

"Xu Mang?"

"Our baby granddaughter seems to like Xu Mang very much. Academician Zhong's wife said: "In order to be able to see Xu Mang, I also plan to take the exam... As a result, they have already resigned, but when my precious granddaughter is sad, why do you suddenly mention what he does?"

“...”

"Nothing... Forget it, there are a lot of things you can't know. Academician Zhong said: "It's time for them to come and toast, help me fill the wine." ”

...

Capital

A temporary office of the Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology of the Academy of Sciences,

Xu Mang, who was alone, was making hot pot for himself, and the day before yesterday he went to a large supermarket and bought food and water for two weeks, but there was no way... The chef of the institute also went home, and he had to do it himself.

Then

Two young researchers came to the office, but they were only interns and had not become regular employees.

"Huh?"

"Professor Xu?"

"What about hot pot?" said one of the young men with a smile, "I was going to invite you to our office for dinner, or... We're moving in too?"

"Yes!" Xu Mang smiled and took out a bottle of single malt whisky, and said, "It just so happens that I brought a very good bottle of single malt whisky, and the three of us drank it together." ”

soon

Xu Mang and the two intern researchers were quite happy while eating hot pot and steamed vegetables, and drinking wine.

"Professor Xu?"

"Anyway, why did you stay?" Xiao Zhang asked curiously: "Actually, this matter has nothing to do with you, you don't need to stay at all, and you will suffer from this stay... Completely unnecessary. ”

"No way. ”

"I promised Academician Zhong that it would be done. Xu Mang smiled bitterly: "Do what you say." ”

“...”

“...”

I all know Xu Mantou Iron, but it is rare to get iron to this point, but it is precisely because of this that I can have this achievement.

The two of them were infected by Xu Mang's fighting spirit, and they raised their wine glasses one after another and saluted the great scientist, among whom Xiao Cai said seriously: "Professor Xu... Hats off. ”

Xu Mo was stunned for a moment, and said helplessly: "Actually, there is no need to pay tribute to me or anything, there are many unknown people in this world, and the same person spends Chinese New Year's Eve, I am just a member of this crowd." ”

After three rounds of drinking,

The two young people were slightly drunk, but Xu Mo seemed to be like no one, while eating frantically, he used his mobile phone and Xiaoman to send WeChat, and by the way, he took a picture of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner he ate at this time, and the result... But Xiao Man was sad, and then a phone call came.

"Don't worry..."

"I'm fine... It's okay, it's okay. Xu Mang said helplessly: "I have two colleagues here, right... Celebrate Chinese New Year's Eve together. ”

Ten minutes later, I hung up.

"Professor Xu?"

"Is your lover?" Xiao Zhang asked curiously, "Anyway, you got married a little early... I'm not married, but you're married, and many people are full of fear of marriage, thinking that marriage is a grave. ”

"Engaged... There is no knot yet. Xu Mang said helplessly: "Probably..."

Glancing at the time, there were still two hours before the New Year, and then he said: "Two hours later, go to get the marriage certificate in June." ”

"Actually, marriage..."Xu Mang thought for a while, and said indifferently: "It's not as terrifying as you think, in fact, it's more of a responsibility and protection, to support each other and accompany each other to old age... That's what marriage really means. ”

Hearing Xu Mang's words, the two young people were quite helpless, they both understood the truth... But it's a little hard to sit up on your own.

Another hour passed,

The two of them collapsed on the table, and after drinking less than two glasses, they were already completely drunk, which made Xu Mang a little helpless, and he drank most of the bottle, but he was only slightly drunk.

At this point,

23:08

Outside the window, it was still lifeless.

"It's like..."

"Fireworks are prohibited in the capital, right?" Xu Mang then remembered that there were no artillery fights in the city, and for a while the taste of this year was more bland, and after a simple tidy up of the table, Xu Mang sat on the computer, and began to continue working with the slightly drunk state at this time, redesigning the C2c1 nuclease.

A few days ago, Xu Mang has systematically modified C2c1 and successfully developed it into a mammalian genome editing tool, with a stable temperature of 36 degrees Celsius, according to the simulation results of AI, C2c1 can be applied to multiple species with different physiological temperatures under suitable conditions.

At the same time, it is more stable in plasma for multiple species with different physiological temperatures and is difficult to tolerate base mismatches between the guide RNA and the target DNA compared to the previous ones.

Pity...

Xu Mang felt that this temperature was not enough!

His goal is to reach 30 degrees Celsius, or even the range of 0 to 60 degrees Celsius.

Grunt~

Grunt~

Xu Mang picked up the wine bottle, poured it into his mouth, and then began to continue working, because suddenly a large amount of alcohol entered his stomach, there was a burning sensation in an instant, which stimulated Xu Mang's nerves, and because of this, Xu Mang got an inspiration.

"Huh?"

"That's right!"

Suddenly,

Xu Mang's eyes radiated a blazing battle flame, and he found the most crucial key to success.

...

early morning

Xiao Zhang woke up from his sleep, and when he opened his eyes, there was a burst of pain in his head, and he felt helpless for a while, his alcohol consumption was too bad... It's only been less than two drinks, and I'm drunk like this... It seems that the road to the Academy of Sciences will not be long.

Slowly got up, then stretched, and found that he had slept in the office all night, and this office... It's not my own.

"I'll go!"

"Xu... Professor Xu?" Xiao Zhang came to his senses after seeing Xu Mang, it turned out that he had slept in Professor Xu's office for a night, but what was even more surprising was that Xu Mang was working!

"Awake?"

"Does your head hurt?" asked Xu Mang with a smile.

"Also... It's okay. Xiao Zhang smiled bitterly, and then asked nervously, "Xu... Professor Xu, you... You wouldn't go a night without sleep, would you?"

"Pretty much. Xu Mang nodded and said with a smile: "But this night, I successfully solved the big problem before, and a new CRISPR system has been born!"

Chapter: WTF?
