Chapter 137: Biohacking

"Recently, a group of militants infiltrated Seoul and attacked the Seoul Central Police Station in Myeongdong, causing dozens of police officers to die, and then the police pursued the militants for 72 hours, killing a total of 34 militants and capturing 7, according to the investigation results: this group of militants are all foreign personnel, suspected of international mercenaries, the specific situation is still under investigation. ”

Seoul Police Agency Chief Park Jung-nam issued a statement saying: The National Police Agency will mobilize the nationwide police force to arrest armed elements who may have escaped the net, and at the same time ask all citizens to be vigilant in the near future, and notify the local police immediately if you find any suspicious person. ”

Recently, Samsung Group released the latest mobile phone design sample, this mobile phone will use a flexible screen, will be the world's first curved mobile phone that can be mass-produced. ”

"SKK's next-generation idol group Seven Clover will hold their first concert at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on November 31st!"

"Tonight's hit drama, I'm not from the earth, will usher in the finale!"

Looking at the news broadcast on TV, Yang Qing pressed his hand on his left ear, it is inevitable that there will be some discomfort with headphones for a long time, but Yang Qing still has to bring, mainly because he can't understand Korean, in order to be able to understand Korean, Yang Qing had to write a simultaneous translation software, which was installed in the computer and mobile phone, and now as long as you wear headphones, you can understand Korean on TV.

The voice coming from the headset is English, which is to translate Korean into English, the reason why it is not directly translated into Chinese is because Yang Qing uses Google's development interface, and all the language translation process is completed by Google's server, and Google's server has very poor support for Chinese translation, and it is impossible to accurately translate Korean into Chinese.

Although there will be some delays in using Google's language translation interface, it can already meet Yang Qing's needs, as long as it is not a professional domain, it can be solved by using Google's translation interface, what Yang Qing does is to adjust the intonation of the language, timbre, etc., so that the voice sounds more comfortable, and at the same time, what he says is more like what he said after translation.

Using Google's simultaneous translation, there is no problem in saying some relatively simple words, just like what Yang Qing said before commanding the police car, they are all fixed words, and some mechanized, if it is a normal communication, there will still be some inconvenience, but Yang Qing has no heart to improve it for the time being, and now Yang Qing wants to spend all his energy on the study of biology, especially molecular biology.

Turning off the TV, Yang Qing sat in front of the computer and opened the molecular biology video that he hadn't finished watching yet.

…………

Time passed quickly in Yang Qing's study, and on this day Yang Qing was going to do an experiment to verify what he had learned.

In front of Yang Qing was a transparent glass cup, a glass of pineapple juice, a bottle of washing liquid, a packet of salt, a straw, and a bottle of two pots.

Yang Qing took the transparent cup in front of him, and then Yang Qing's tongue agitated in his mouth, and the next moment his entire mouth was full of saliva.

Yang Qing spit out the saliva in his mouth towards the cup.

Picking up the washing liquid, Yang Qing carefully dripped two drops into it, and then picked up the pineapple juice and poured it into the glass.

After shaking it slightly, Yang Qing pinched a little salt and sprinkled it in, and then shook it again.

After shaking the mixture in the quilt evenly, Yang Qing put the straw in.

Reaching out to unscrew the head of the second pot, Yang Qing took a sip first, and then slowly flowed the wine into the cup according to his habits.

As Yang Qing slowly poured the wine into the glass, a viscous mass slowly appeared, forming a spindle shape.

Seeing this, Yang Qing stopped pouring wine into it, but carefully took out a toothpick and picked some on the sticky.

Then it was placed in a petri dish.

Getting up, Yang Qing came to the table where the microscope was placed, picked a little sticky matter from the petri dish and put it on a glass piece, and then put the glass piece on the stage under the microscope.

At this time, on the computer, a sticky object that has been magnified by 1,000 times is displayed.

These things look like they're all in a mess.

"Is this my DNA?" Yang Qing said secretly.

What Yang Qing did just now was extracting his own DNA, and Yang Qing was still a little excited when he saw his DNA from the microscope, although he couldn't see the so-called double helix structure, but what he saw now was enough to prove that what he had learned these days was not in vain.

At the very least, I learned how to extract DNA.

Looking at the screen displayed on the computer, Yang Qing looked at the various test tubes on the table, and couldn't help but secretly say: "The content of the book "Gene Editing: Programming Biology" seems to be able to understand a few layers now, but if you want to really understand it, it is not enough to just understand the theory, you have to do an experiment yourself, and these things you buy now can only do some of the most basic experiments, if you want to rely on these things to learn gene editing, it is definitely not possible, you must have a complete set of experimental devices." ”

It's okay to do some small experiments in the hotel and buy some small things, but it is definitely unrealistic to buy some large-scale experimental equipment, not to mention whether the hotel allows it, that is, it is allowed, and it is too unrealistic to build the laboratory in the hotel.

"What if you build your own laboratory?" Yang Qing secretly pondered for a while and found that it was not possible, there were too many things to do to build a laboratory by yourself, looking for a venue, buying equipment, and waiting for the equipment to arrive, I don't know how long it has been, so the fastest way now is to rent a laboratory.

Biological laboratories are basically established in universities and colleges nowadays, some are larger, some are smaller, except for a very few universities specializing in molecular biology, other universities basically use these laboratories as teaching, and they are really used for research and development, so that the resources of the laboratory are wasted, after all, a slightly better laboratory needs millions or even tens of millions of dollars to establish, in order to avoid wasting resources, many universities will take out the idle laboratories for rent, because the equipment is complete, all kinds of supporting tools are perfect, these laboratories are very popular in the societyMany small biology companies or biological researchers like to rent university labs.

Thinking of this, Yang Qing immediately opened the search engine and typed in genspace.

When Yang Qing was studying biology, he heard of a website, the name of the website is called Genspace, which translates into Chinese as (biological space) or green space, where amateur biology enthusiasts from all over the world gather, trying to use biotechnology to create all kinds of new creatures, and modify their own bodies, such as implanting chips into their bodies to control electronic devices, or modifying DNA to remove obesity genes, or making themselves stronger, this group of people wanders outside the mainstream biology, trying to make biology have more different applications, they are rejected by mainstream biology, called biohackersIt's like a computer hacker trying to hack into a person's body.

The best way for Yang Qing to quickly find out which university has a spare lab for rent is to go to the Korean branch of Biospace to ask.

A post of inquiry was posted on the forum, and Yang Qing toured around the various sections of the forum.

Although this website claims to be a gathering place for biological hackers, in fact, the biological experiments in it are basically some very interesting applications, Yang Qing saw an article in a post about how to identify whether the steak he eats is a real Kobe steak by extracting the DNA of the steak, and there is also a post that introduces how to make his pet cat have a silver coat.

After browsing for a while, Yang Qing saw an additional prompt on the website out of the corner of his eye, and someone replied to his post, so he checked the content of the reply immediately.

"I know there's a molecular lab just left vacant, if you want to rent it, you can talk about it!"
