Chapter 23: Cloning Techniques
Cloning monkeys is the research result of the Tinder No. 1 base, although Professor Bavar is the core figure of the entire research team, but the Tinder No. 1 base belongs to the Nanmu Group, and Nan Zhiqiao is the direct person in charge of the Tinder No. 1 base.
Contrary to Dr. David's belief, Nan Zhiqiao hopes that various scientific research progress can be announced in a timely and open manner, so as to facilitate the exchange of scientific researchers around the world.
So, when Professor Bavar proposed to publish the key technology of cloning monkeys, Nan Zhiqiao did not object.
Nan Zhiqiao agreed, and Professor Bavar made another request: before the paper was published, there was an academic conference on cloning technology to be held in Paris, France, three days later, and the conference team wanted to invite experts in cloning technology to give a report at the conference, and Professor Bavar recommended Nan Zhiqiao.
Hearing that he was going to Paris, France to attend a conference, Nan Zhiqiao's first reaction was to refuse.
Professor Bawar also gave a reason that it was not easy to refuse, the conference team not only wanted the technical staff to speak, but also asked the head of the project team to sign an agreement for the use of cloning technology, which presumably related to the development of cloning technology without violating human ethics and the prohibition of reproductive cloning to human beings.
Because of the explosion of the Nanmu Group's stem cell research center before, although Nan Zhiqiao dealt with it in a timely manner, there have been rumors in public opinion that the Nanmu Group secretly funded the research of cloned human beings, and later, in the process of tracking down the Fire Snake Organization, Nan Zhiqiao took the initiative to explain to the police that Dr. David conducted a secret cloning experiment, although the culprit was Dr. David, but the Nanmu Group was still criticized by public opinion.
At this time, the international conference on cloning technology took the initiative to invite people from Nanmu Group to participate, which was the best opportunity for international public opinion to hope that Nanmu Group would express its position, and it was also the best opportunity for Nanmu Group to publicly clarify itself.
It was about the Nanmu Group, as well as his deceased parents, and Nanzhiqiao finally agreed.
Professor Bavar seemed to have expected that Nan Zhiqiao would agree to go to Paris, France to participate in this cloning conference, and after receiving Nan Zhiqiao's affirmative reply, he immediately sent the meeting itinerary.
The conference was held after three days, and it took four days in total, the first three days were academic presentations, and the last day was the signing of the agreement by the representatives of all parties.
Ye Zhenzhen also stepped forward to see the specific location of the meeting, which turned out to be near the Institut Pasteur in Paris.
Ye Zhenzhen looked expectant, "Senior Nan, I also want to go with you." ”
Considering that Zhen Zhen had just returned from Tibet, and although she had been cured of high-altitude pulmonary edema, it would take some time for her body to fully recover, and that the meeting might involve some of the previous disgraceful experiences of the Nanmu Group, Nan Zhiqiao didn't want Zhen Zhen to think about those things again, so he rejected Zhen Zhen's request.
The reason for the refusal was that the CDC laboratory needed someone to take care of it, and the two went to Tibet for many days, and they were quarantined for nine days just after they came back.
The reason is very good, Zhen Zhen can't refuse, after all, she is still a research assistant in the experimental group, and her job must be done first.
Nan Zhiqiao and Zhen Zhen made their own arrangements, and when Nan Grandpa said that the two were not allowed to go far before the wedding, Zhen Zhen took the initiative to explain for Nan Zhiqiao.
"Grandpa, Zhi Qiao went to Paris this time to have a very important academic conference, you also know, he is an internationally renowned infectious disease expert, and he will be invited to participate in large-scale academic conferences on infectious diseases, which is a matter of glory for the country, besides, only go for four or five days, these days, I will accompany you every day. ”
Grandpa Nan was born in the military, and when it comes to winning glory for the country, he can't help but be proud of his grandson, and he no longer opposes Nan Zhiqiao's going to Paris.
Grandpa Nan still believed in Zhen Zhen's words, and after being persuaded by Zhen Zhen like this, Grandpa Nan was still a little angry, but he also got better.
——
Paris, France, the scene of the cloning technology conference.
Nan Zhiqiao was a guest invited by the conference team, but there was no report to speak, and he was only asked to show up and sign on the occasion of the agreement signed by multiple parties on the last day.
The cloning monkey technology of Tinder 1 Base was introduced by Professor Bavar on stage, Nan Zhiqiao just sat quietly in the audience, and when the others made reports, Nan Zhiqiao did not leave, although some techniques were familiar to Nan Zhiqiao, he still insisted on sitting there, because he knew that Zhen Zhen liked it.
In the previous few days of the meeting, Nan Zhiqiao sat in the front row of the audience and used his mobile phone to transmit the picture of the meeting to Zhen Zhen's computer in real time.
Two people, one sitting at the Paris venue, and the other sitting in front of the computer desk in the study room of the apartment of Longteng Villa thousands of miles away, looking at the same picture, far away and close to each other......
Vera loves it.
In the footage, Professor Bavar explained the whole process of cloning monkeys in detail, and there were pictures of different developmental stages of cloned monkeys.
Zhen Zhen could see that through the comparison of the pictures of the cloned monkeys at different stages of development, Zhen Zhen had a question: "Senior Nan, this cloned monkey started as soon as Professor Bavar entered the Tinder No. 1 base, right? The gestation period of the cynomolgus monkey is between five and a half months to seven months, according to Professor Bavar's method, the gestation period of the cynomolgus monkey is shortened, did he know these key technologies in the stem cell research center before?"
Nan Zhiqiao, who is far away on the other side of the world, responded softly through a video call: "At the beginning of the big explosion of the stem cell research center, all the data was destroyed, and only those who participated in the experiment in person know how far that experiment was carried out. ”
Nan Zhiqiao paused slightly, and then said: "Professor Bavar participated in that experimental project back then, and he knows a little bit, I asked him, but since Professor Bavar rolled down the stairs because of Liang Chen, he has lost his memory, and he can't remember more. ”
Ye Zhenzhen: "This amnesia is too coincidental. ”
Nan Zhiqiao did not respond, and his eyes were fixed on Professor Bavar, who was giving a presentation on the stage.
At this time, Professor Bavar introduced the entire cloning process, and his eyes flashed with excitement and fanaticism.
The people on the stage talked about the prospect of the future application of cloning technology, and they were even more passionate......
Nan Zhiqiao watched silently and didn't say a word.
Until the end of the meeting that day, Nan Zhiqiao turned off the video of the meeting, put himself in the center of the video, and instructed Zhen Zhen thousands of miles away: "It's late over there, let's rest, I still have to discuss some things with a few experts, and I'll video with you tomorrow morning." ”
"Well, dear, good night. ”
Nan Zhiqiao made a heart-shaped gesture towards the camera and smiled gently, "Good night, remember to dream of me." ”
——
That night, Zhen Zhen had a dream, and there was really Nan Zhiqiao in the dream.
However, this dream was a nightmare.
