"Amber, dinosaurs, genes, Jurassic Park, that is to say, ......" Tang Ming became more and more excited the more he said. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"I'm sorry, Mr. Tang, even if the dinosaur remains in this piece of amber are fresh, it will be difficult to resurrect the dinosaurs with current genetic technology. ”

Professor Wells's words were like a basin of cold water, extinguishing all Tang Ming's illusions.

Tang Ming asked puzzledly, "Why?"

"Mr. Tang, let me explain it to you. Pei Yuanping said, "The plot in the movie "Jurassic Park" is that scientists find mosquitoes from amber, extract dinosaur blood sucked by mosquitoes, and extract dinosaur DNA from blood, but the movie is just a movie, and scientists in reality don't think that DNA can be retained for that long. The current half-life of DNA is about 521 years, which means that half of the chemical bonds between deoxyribonucleotides break every 521 years. Even under the ideal conditions of minus 5 degrees, after a maximum of 6.8 million years, these chemical bonds will break down to nothing, and now the dinosaur remains in this piece of amber are at least tens of millions or even more than 100 million years old, which makes it even more impossible to obtain effective DNA information. ”

Although Tang Ming didn't understand some of the scientific terms in Pei Yuanping's words, he still understood it, and he was suddenly a little disappointed in his heart.

Cornelia asked, "What if genetic technology advances in the future?"

"It may be possible, some people have predicted that dinosaurs will be resurrected in the next ten years, but I think ten years is too short, but in twenty or Chinese New Year's Eve years, it may be possible, and no one can predict the level of development of genetic technology in the future, not even me," Professor Wells said. ”

Tang Ming said: "Professor Wells, if I provide you with a large amount of research funds to conduct research in this area, do you think you can resurrect the dinosaurs?"

Professor Wells pondered for a while and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Tang, I can't guarantee it. ”

Tang Ming said again: "If I provide you with a billion Australian dollars in research funding a year, do you think you can be sure of resurrecting dinosaurs?"

"What?" Professor Wells was shocked, wondering if he had misheard.

"I mean, if I give you a billion dollars a year in research grants, can you bring the dinosaurs back to life. Tang Ming repeated what he had just said.

He had a temporary idea, and a billion Australian dollars was nothing to him, as simple as an ordinary person with a monthly income of more than 10,000 to buy an iPhone, and he didn't need to think too much about it at all.

"I ......" Professor Wells was suddenly a little nervous, he had won the Nobel Prize, seen the wind and waves, but was still stunned by the number of "billion Australian dollars", he was not unseen money, he has his own laboratory, and the annual research funding is tens of millions of Australian dollars, but compared with one billion Australian dollars, it is not at all in the order of magnitude.

If he gets a billion dollars a year in research funding, he will be one of the most powerful people in science, and his laboratory will surpass most of the world's leading laboratories and become one of the most desirable laboratories for scientists around the world.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Tang, I'm still not sure. ”

But after some struggle, Wells shook his head with difficulty.

Tang Ming was a little disappointed when he heard his words, but he appreciated Professor Wells' character, because he could have cheated the money first, studied for a period of time, and then told Tang Ming that there are many such things in the scientific community, after all, funding is everything to scientists.

Tang Ming thought for a while and said: "Professor Wells, since I have decided, I will not regret it, I hope you can set up the best laboratory in the world to specialize in the study of resurrected dinosaurs, even if you can't study dinosaurs, it's nothing, just when I contribute to all mankind." ”

Professor Wells was a little surprised, he didn't expect what he said so clearly, Tang Ming still didn't retract what he said, and at the same time he was very moved in his heart, and said: "Mr. Tang, thank you very much, I will put all my energy into this laboratory in the future, I promise, before I die, I will definitely resurrect the dinosaurs." ”

Tang Ming said: "I believe you can do it, I will hand over this matter to my family office, and when Professor Wells returns, they will send someone to talk to you." ”

"I understand that any technology that comes out of the lab will be handed over to Mr. Tang's company," Professor Wells said. ”

Tang Ming nodded and didn't say anything, because this was the proper meaning.

Although Pei Yuanping can get tens of millions of Australian dollars in research funds from Tang Ming every year, he still feels a little jealous when he sees that they have negotiated a billion Australian dollars a year in an understatement, but he didn't show it, he first congratulated Professor Wells a few words, and then said to Tang Ming: "Mr. Tang, we are the first to start working together, you can't forget my laboratory." ”

Tang Ming soothed: "Don't worry, Professor Pei, I will always support you." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Tang. Pei Yuanping decided to go back and find a few big projects that Tang Ming was interested in for research, so as to get a little more research funds from Tang Ming.

"There will be times when the wind and waves will be long, and the clouds will sail into the sea. ”

Tang Ming stood on the deck, watching the yacht sail in the magnificent sea, and suddenly thought of these two lines of poetry, and couldn't help but read them out loud.

Cornelia stood beside him, wearing a wide maternity dress, but she still couldn't stop the slightly bulging belly, she listened to Tang Ming's poem, and said, "Honey, you will know these two sentences, right?"

Tang Ming turned his head and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"

Cornelia asked, "Do you know who wrote these two verses?"

Tang Ming thought for a moment and said with some uncertainty: "Yes...... Is it Du Fu?"

Cornelia hated the iron and said with hatred: "It's Li Bai, stupid." ”

"It's Li Bai, I forgot. Tang Ming scratched his head embarrassedly.

Cornelia continued, "Will you memorize the whole poem?"

"No, it won't. Tang Ming shook his head, "My dear, you will definitely memorize it, can you teach me?"

Cornelia said with satisfaction: "Seeing that you are so sincere, I will teach you one side, listen well, the golden bottle of sake is ten thousand, the jade plate is shy and ten thousand dollars, and the cup can not be eaten, and the sword is drawn and looked around in a daze......"

Tang Ming pursed his lips secretly, knowing that Cornelia had recently learned a lot of ancient Chinese poetry, which was to show off to him, but on the surface he had to pretend to be listening carefully.

When Cornelia finished reading, she asked, "How's it going, honey, am I reading well?"

Tang Ming praised: "Very good. ”

"Honey, shall I recite another poem by Li Bai to you?"

"Good. Tang Ming nodded.

They discussed ancient Chinese poetry for a while, and when the yacht was still some distance away from Taoyuan Island, Tang Ming suddenly saw a huge white windmill erected on the sea. (To be continued.) )
