Chapter 641: The Burning Store (1)
??
In the Gene Store project, Pangu Technology employees made two important discoveries.
One is not to underestimate the innovation ability of Pangu Technology staff, and the other is that Li Ting is the female version of Xiao Ming.
Li Ting's style is the same as Xiao Ming's, she is vigorous and will never drag her feet, and she is very predictable.
Take the gene store in the most prosperous business district in the center of Jiangcheng as an example.
The store was purchased by Li Ting a month in advance, and the price was more than 30 million. The decoration was also done in advance, and Li Ting invited the best decoration company in Jiangcheng to complete the decoration with the most environmentally friendly materials within a month.
After signing the approval documents, Li Ting immediately asked the staff and equipment to be in place, and the store opened.
In Li Ting's plan, the gene store is the store that can be closest to the public's life, and it is also the best form of the existence of the gene store. It is as common as dental clinics and optical stores, and citizens can relax and shop for goods.
The process of store operation is also relatively standardized——
Register user information, allow users to diagnose genes in real time (the diagnosis time for vision defect genes is 20 minutes), users can select healthy genes according to their preferences, see the recombination of genes in time, pay fees, make appointments for treatment time and place, etc.
This is the basic operating structure of the gene store.
Due to the limited number of people in the gene store project team, and the fact that the opening of the store this time is an act of testing the waters externally, there is currently only one gene store in the center of Jiangcheng City in the world, and the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangda University has a treatment center supporting the gene store project.
The gene store in the center of Jiangcheng City is currently only open to the public for one function - vision treatment.
No flowers, no firecrackers and no celebration of hydrogen balloons, the gene store was officially opened.
A longitudinal comparison with the clerks of other stores in the center of Jiangcheng City, the clerks in the gene store have the highest educational qualifications, at least starting from graduate school.
This does not mean that all the clerks in the future gene store must be graduate students, but the more professional gene store, the professional clerks have not yet had time to recruit and train, and only the employees of the project team and the employees of the life science laboratory are temporarily part-time.
June 1 was a Thursday, and there were still many pedestrians on the streets.
People soon saw the familiar Pangu Technology logo and the words gene store below.
"Damn! Pangu Technology opens a gene store?"
"What was said on the Internet some time ago is true?"
That day, we were still discussing when the gene store treatment project for myopia would be open to ordinary people, but I didn't expect it to open in a short time! Let's go!
On the first day of opening, there were a lot of people watching the excitement.
In this regard, Li Ting has also arranged that in the gene store, there is a special area for the public to understand and experience the details of the gene store, and there are also special docents to popularize the relevant knowledge of gene technology for visitors.
It opened at nine o'clock, and it was only half an hour, and the gene store was full.
Liu Li, who works in the opposite office building, heard her colleague say that the gene store on the ground floor opposite was open, so she quickly called her husband and asked him to pick up her son from school, while she went downstairs to check the situation.
Liu Li's son has just entered the first year of junior high school this year, and his eyesight is seriously declining, and now his left and right eyes are about 300 degrees.
My son likes to play games on the computer, which is one of the causes of myopia. But after Liu Li read the paper reprinted by Pangu Technology in the media a few days ago, you began to wonder if her son's myopia was genetic, after all, Liu Li and his husband are both myopic and have a lot of degrees.
But he's still in class. Liu Li's husband Wan Liang said slowly.
"What other classes do you take?Let's talk about it, is it important to go to class or is it important to be healthy?" Liu Li blamed her husband for being so ignorant, "Just tell the teacher that Wan Ziyi is only twelve years old and has to celebrate Children's Day." ”
After hanging up the phone when she was busy, Liu Li hurriedly asked the leader for a leave to go to the queue.
Half an hour later, Liu Li's husband and son arrived at the scene.
Liu Li's son, Wan Liang, also became the 231st customer of the gene store today.
After filling in the identity information and basic information reservation number, Liu Li took her son into the room inside the hall.
After some simple tests, Liu Li got her son's data.
325 degrees for the left and right eyes, 300 degrees for the right eye, and 25 degrees for the left and right eyes.
This power basically excludes pseudomyopia.
The employee of the gene store said to Liu Li: "Now you can do a genetic test to see if the child's genes have vision defects." ”
This is the advice given by the employee based on Liu Li and her husband, who also wear glasses.
The cost of genetic testing is not high, as long as 400 yuan, blood testing can be done.
Because it is the gene store of Shoreline Medical Company, a subsidiary of Pangu Technology, Liu Li's family trusts the store.
Pay for testing.
Twenty minutes later, the test results were in.
Wan Ziyi's genes do have vision defects, considering the child's relatively young age, the possibility of genetic mutations is less, and this defect is inherited from the parents.
Ren Qingqing, a part-time clerk and doctoral student at Pangu Institute of Science and Technology, patiently answered the report on genetic testing for Liu Li's family.
"The child should have inherited the defective gene of the two children, so he will develop moderate myopia at this grade level. ”
"What should I do then! The child is still so young!" As a mother, Liu Li is very anxious, what should I do if I have poor eyesight for decades.
Wan Conscience is also very guilty, it is his and Liu Li's genes that make the child like this.
Ren Qingqing showed a very friendly smile, she said: "In fact, there are many teenagers who inherit their parents' vision defect genes and cause myopia, so don't be too anxious. ”
"Now the child's vision is still in the development stage, as long as the eye is used properly, it can slow down or even control the deepening of the degree. ”
Ren Qingqing never mentioned the choice of gene therapy, but analyzed the problem for Liu Li's family from a professional perspective.
This is not only the atmosphere of Pangu Technology, but also the main task of serving the citizens and answering problems, and making money is placed in the second place.
"If it is well controlled, will his degree develop?" Liu Li desperately wanted to know the answer.
Ren Qingqing combined with the actual situation of Xia Guo and said: "The most difficult thing is to control, the child is just the first year of junior high school, and there is still the learning pressure of junior high and high school, if it is well controlled, there is an ideal situation with 25 to 50 degrees of development." If it's not well controlled, it's hard to say. ”
This is the Internet society, and this is also the electronic age. Not to mention the heavy learning tasks, children may not touch mobile phones, computers, and televisions, so it is still difficult to control their eyesight.
Liu Li asked the question she was most concerned about: "So is there any way to completely solve the child's vision problem?"
