"Hehe..."

"That's a dollar to buy a receiver. Xu Mang said embarrassedly and politely: "I still lost more than 30,000 US dollars, this equipment is not cheap, don't think it's just a receiver, it's... Isn't that right?"

Xu Mang didn't know what to say, anyway, now that he was in China, across the Pacific Ocean from Professor Smith, the distance produced an infinite sense of security, not to mention that just Professor Smith, even Trump could scold him.

"Huh?"

"Have you been impeached recently?" Xu Mang asked curiously, "What is the result?"

“...”

"You seem to be concerned about the ZZ turmoil in the United States. Smith said helplessly: "Let's not mention the impeachment or impeachment matter, what should you do with this little broken box? You give us a receiver, which makes Princeton University very embarrassed, and I handed the letter to Congress, otherwise you think you will get the first money?"

Xu Mang smirked, he didn't know what to do for a while, it was impossible to give, he worked hard to make trouble, they spent a dollar without saying a word, and took away the fruits of their labor, how can this be reasonable?

After thinking about it for a long time,

In the end, get along with a particularly bad idea, a word - drag, Xu Mang has a deep understanding of the word drag, as an upright Chinese, how can he not be kicked around like a ball, although it is a little better now, but the symptoms are not cured.

"Oops!"

"It's so late, huh?"

"Professor Smith... I'm sorry, I'm going to pick up my wife from work. Xu Mang sighed and said helplessly: "Find a chance to talk about it, in fact, this matter is a little embarrassing, it is not so easy to deal with, and we will talk about it again when we have the opportunity." ”

"It's too late!"

"So be it... Professor Smith, I'm going to pick up my wife, or she's going to be angry again. ”

Syllable!

Hang up directly.

Xu Mang glanced at Wang Ai, who was stunned in front of him, calmly picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Do you have anything else? If you don't work hard, you know that you can wander around all day, although I am not your father's colleague now, but I am the person in charge of the laboratory, and I can still take care of you." ”

I...

You...

Eldest brother!

Are you embarrassed that people have nothing to do?

Hearing Xu Mang's words, Wang Ai was almost not confused, but what he said made a lot of sense, the guy in front of him was paying his own salary, and there was no way... If he hadn't paid his salary, he would have been killed a long time ago, and he couldn't see anyone all day long, either eating melon seeds with Erlang's legs crossed, or slumping on a chair to sleep.

Watching Wang Ai leave, Xu Mangmei packed up his things and was ready to sleep well, but at this time, he received a call from the second grandfather, and it seemed that he needed something urgent.

"Xu Mang!"

"Come to my office tomorrow, someone wants to invite you out of the mountain!" said the second grandfather.

"Huh?"

"Forget it... In a few days, all the equipment I have left will be here, and I will supervise it then. Xu Mang said helplessly: "Who is looking for me? Many people know my phone number, so there should be no need to find you to convey the news, right?"

"He and I are old friends, and he knows the relationship between me and you, so he found me directly, and besides, your matter has been quite big recently, and there is something wrong with you directly. The second grandfather said: "It's the Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology of the Academy of Sciences, in addition to wanting to use your artificial intelligence, I also want you to expand the number of paths in the field of gene editing." ”

"Huh?"

"Gene editing field?" Xu Mang was stunned for a moment, his current biological skills and mastery have naturally known what this field is for, it is an emerging and relatively accurate genetic engineering technology that can modify specific target genes in the genome of organisms.

Gene editing technology refers to the ability for humans to edit target genes to achieve the modification of specific DNA fragments.

"Oh..."

"I see. Xu Mang said indifferently: "I'll come over tomorrow morning." ”

"Good!"

"Don't be late, or I won't have a place to put my old face. The second grandfather admonished.

...

At half past five in the afternoon,

Yang Xiaoman dragged her tired body to the front desk of the company, and saw a scene that upset her, her husband was lying at the front desk, chatting happily with the two front desk staff, especially the two people who looked at Xu Mang, and their eyes exuded a trace of hunger and longing.

Damn it!

This bastard... I want to kill him!

"Ahem!"

"What are you talking about?" Yang Xiaoman walked to Xu Mang's side with a dark face, glanced at his two employees, and said indifferently: "I'll report to the warehouse tomorrow." ”

Xu Mang: ???

However, there was no incident that went to the warehouse to report, but Yang Xiaoman educated the two of them fiercely, and saw two girls who had just graduated from college and shrugged their heads in front of Yang Xiaoman, Xu Mang felt that this picture was a little scary.

On the way home,

Xu Mang asked curiously, "Wife... If you want to change your temper in the company, you are the image of a dictator and a female devil in the minds of employees. ”

"Cut!"

"Whatever!" Yang Xiaoman said indifferently: "I can do whatever I like, the temper of rich people is so unpretentious and boring." ”

When I got home,

Xu Mang casually made some dinner, and then sorted the garbage, and spent about ten minutes, carrying three bags of garbage that had been sorted, and went to the garbage disposal place in the community.

Seeing the garbage truck throw four buckets of garbage together, Xu Mang suddenly fell into confusion.

I...

This...

It took about ten minutes, but what was it for?

At this time, Xu Mang realized that the so-called classification is actually just a formality, and many places have launched this model, but he didn't think of what to do later.

I'm sorry

Don't want to waste any more time on meaningless forms.

"What's wrong?"

"I went out with a happy face, and I was listless when I came back?" Yang Xiaoman was scrolling through Weibo, and when he saw Xu Mang coming back disappointed, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Did you encounter any trouble?"

"Don't mention it. ”

"It's been a big blow, wife... Don't divide the garbage in the future, it's a waste of energy. Xu Mang said angrily: "I'm going upstairs!"

Words fall,

went to the study alone, leaving Yang Xiaoman with a confused face.

...

Following

At half past eight in the morning,

Xu Mang woke up from his sleep, glanced at the time, and silently lay down in the warm quilt again, it was already so late anyway... It's better to sleep for another half hour.

meanwhile

In the office of the president of Fuda,

The second grandfather was receiving his old friend, Academician Zhong, the head of the Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology of the Academy of Sciences.

"Old Bell!"

"Do you think it's okay to find Xu Mang?" The second grandfather said seriously: "This kid is engaged in physics, you let him solve the problem of gene editing, if something happens, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"No!"

"I dare to swear with my life that Xu Mang definitely understands gene editing, and he is not half-understood, he is very proficient. Academician Zhong said solemnly: "Old friend... If Xu Mang is not willing to help, you have to persuade him. ”

"This..."

"It's hard to convince, this kid is very good. The second grandfather smiled bitterly: "If he can be persuaded to do so, can he still resign as a professor in the Department of Physics of Fuda University?"

“...”

"This..."Academician Zhong was very helpless, pondered for a moment, and said: "In case such a situation occurs, no matter what... You must persuade Xu Mang, no matter what, let him help us open a new path in the field of gene editing. ”

The second grandfather smiled bitterly: "I can only do my best..."

Long

After an hour,

The second grandfather couldn't wait, so he called Xu Mang and asked what the situation was.

"What?"

"Are you still on the way?" the second grandfather said helplessly: "Hurry up!"

syllable

hang up

raised his head and glanced at Academician Zhong, and said with a wry smile: "This kid is late again, or... Forget it, I think Xu Mang is unreliable, if it's physics and mathematics, I don't think there's any problem, but... This biological genetic aspect... You can't trust an AI unconditionally just because he's working on it. ”

"Actually..."

"Let me tell you that. Academician Zhong said seriously: "We hope that Xu Mang can develop artificial intelligence in gene editing to alleviate the difficulties we are currently encountering, and the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system, which is now popular all over the world, can change the genome relatively easily." ”

"But it's not always so dexterous, and it often goes wrong and even has unintended consequences. Academician Zhong said solemnly: "Do you remember what happened not long ago? It is because the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system is not mature enough, which leads to the problem. ”

The second grandfather frowned, he knew that the previous accident, although there were no casualties, but it caused huge economic losses, it seems that they are helpless, it just so happens that this stinky boy tossed out the artificial intelligence of the analyzed protein structure, it is really a coincidence.

"Normally, this kid is very knowledgeable. The second grandfather said solemnly: "As long as it can be done, it is rare to refuse... But... I hope that while he helps you, I give him a special reward, he may be embarrassed to mention it, I helped him to mention it. ”

Academician Zhong asked: "What kind of return? As long as we can do it, we will do our best." ”

"On the large collider project, I want you to stand on Xu Mang's side, even if for some irresistible reason, you can't stand on Xu Mang's side, and you can't stand opposite him. The second grandfather said, "What do you think, old Zhong?"

"No problem!"

"Actually, I originally supported Xu Mang's suggestion. Academician Zhong said: "Many people's eyes are only thinking about the present, but never looking at the future, high-energy physics is too far behind, and the relevant technical reserves are zero, once we enter the new physical era, we will be beaten again." ”

"But..."

"I analyzed the current public opinion environment, and we are destined to be beaten. Academician Zhong showed a trace of bitterness on his face: "Basically, 85% of them are opposed, let's look at it in 50 years... Hopefully, Xu Mang will be able to shorten the gap. ”

Fifty years?

Now it is twenty years behind, and if it is another fifty years behind, Xu Mang will not be able to do it at all.

Suddenly,

The office fell silent, and neither of them spoke.

Long

There was a knock on the door of the office, and Xu Mang walked in slowly with a fruit basket on his face.

"I'm sorry..."

"I overslept by accident. ”

......
