Chapter 318: Copy the Seed
Many people may not understand that the Western Xia civilization fell into the hands of foreigners, but if you still remember Yu Qiuyu's article about the Mogao Grottoes and the royal Taoist priest, many people will suddenly understand.
The Mogao Grottoes are a pain in the hearts of all Chinese scholars, because all scholars who study Dunhuang studies need to go to foreign museums to check out the murals and materials about the Mogao Grottoes.
The reason is because the country at that time did not take the culture of Mogao Grottoes into account, and the Heicheng culture of Western Xia was the same.
The Russians got permission to dig in the Black City with a little silver dollar, even a glass, and a telescope, and the wagons took away piles of documents in the desert.
This is a great shame for the scholars who study Tangut studies, and it is with this shame that these scholars devote themselves to research day and night, even if the literature is taken away, the culture will still not disappear.
As a result, there is what was recognized by foreign scholars at the later international association: the statement of Dunhuang studies in China.
Scholars of Dunhuang studies have saved the country's reputation, as have researchers of Tangut culture, who have made a thorough investigation of Heicheng, and just six years ago, it seems that some major discovery has been made.
Because of this discovery, Ling Yao's father became a member of the expedition team and stepped into the desert to investigate the ruins of the Black City.
"I remember that time my dad was out for half a year, and he only made one phone call back during that time. Ling Yao also remembered that it was the longest time her father had been away from home.
"Yes, your father has been gone for half a year, and when he came back, he suddenly started to call us and said that he wanted to conduct a project research, and excitedly told us that if this project is successful, it will be a big leap forward in biology, and it is very likely to change the whole society. ”
Uncle Bo nodded and continued: "At that time, there were a total of thirteen people in the entire project team, except for Li Hailiang and the other four who were our students, the remaining seven were all top experts in the biological world. ”
"And the project we were working on at that time was actually very simple, which was to extract a special seed from something, yes, your father called this kind of thing, so the name of the project is also: Replication Seed. ”
"Duplicate seeds?"
Fang Ming frowned, and Ling Yao on the side was even more puzzled, "Why is it called a seed, what is the effect of this seed?"
"The effect of this seed is exactly what its name suggests: copying. ”
Uncle Bo's expression became a little excited, "When I first saw the effect of this replication seed, do you know how excited I was, because if it is really successfully extracted by us, it will not only be a breakthrough in biology, but a real rewrite of the entire human society." ”
"But unfortunately, I have only seen this copy seed once, because there is only one seed in the entire project department, and it is kept by your father himself, and the object of our research is the ontology of this kind of seed, we call it seed 1. ”
"We landed Seed 1 on a rat and succeeded in reproducing an identical mouse, but unfortunately, the rat didn't live for an hour before it died. ”
For Uncle Bo and other scientific researchers, the death of mice is nothing, as long as they successfully replicate the mice, it means that their research is feasible and the direction is right, as for the cause of the death of mice, it will definitely be unravelable with the deepening of their research.
In fact, this is indeed the case, they used white rats as an experiment, and the white rats went from living for only one hour to the next two hours...... Three hours...... One day, or even half a month......
"In six years, the progress of the project has also reached most of the time, and just when we were all excited, your father suddenly made a decision, that is, to stop the research of the project first, and after making this decision, your father disappeared, and did not return to the project team again until half a month later. ”
"After your father came back, he directly said that the project was canceled and no longer continued the research, and many people in the project team opposed it at that time, everyone worked hard for six years, and saw that the research was at the last moment, once it succeeded, it would go down in history, who would be willing to give up this opportunity. ”
When Ling Yao heard this, she suddenly said, "Uncle Bo, you should also be one of the people who oppose my father's abandonment." ”
Uncle Bo nodded with a wry smile on his face and acknowledged, "In the entire project team, no one supports your father's decision, although your father is the initiator of the project, but this project is the joint effort of everyone, not your father alone said to stop it." ”
Ling Yao didn't say anything, and motioned for Uncle Bo to continue.
"You know what happened later, your father suddenly disappeared, but before he disappeared, he took the replication seeds from the laboratory and destroyed all the experimental materials, so it can be said that the whole project should be your father's behavior, even if it is not disbanded, it is useless. ”
Uncle Bo spread his hands, "Originally, my heart was full of anger at your father's actions, but a week ago, when I found out that many people were targeting me, and even many foreign forces, I realized why your father did this, he was afraid that the seeds would fall into the hands of some people with ulterior motives." ”
"After these days of investigation, I learned that as early as several years ago, our project team was targeted by some forces, and your father probably found out about this, so he decisively terminated the project research and destroyed the data, so that the rest of the project team would not be in danger. ”
When he said this, Uncle Bo had a look of admiration on his face, "Your father carried all the dangers alone. ”
"I guess it's not that you didn't want to inform you when your father disappeared, but that you should have been under surveillance at that time, so he couldn't tell you openly, but think about it, did your father leave any special words or things with you, except for the geography magazine. ”
"I want to think about ......"
Ling Yao fell into thought, and after half a sound, her eyes lit up, as if she had thought of something, and was about to speak, but at this moment, Fang Ming coughed.
cough cough cough ......
Fang Ming's cough interrupted what Ling Yao was about to say, Uncle Bo glanced at Fang Ming, and couldn't wait to ask Ling Yao: "Yaoyao, did you think of something, hurry up and say it, I will refer to it with you to see if it is a clue left by your father." ”
