Chapter 041: Artificial Genius
A few days later.
Happy hour is always short-lived, and everyone is still immersed in the leisurely days of doing nothing, riding, swimming, and basking in the sun, but the holiday is quietly over, and the sixth night in China begins to pack their bags, and then have a party and party night, and leave the next morning.
Even An Feng was forced to be a coolie, get some luggage for them, and take the flight to Los Angeles International Airport together. Due to the different flight times of everyone, the first to leave were Wu Chao and Ji Min, and An Feng hugged them goodbye.
"Next time I have the opportunity to find more time to come to your big landlord's house for a vacation, this time I didn't eat you poor, count you lucky." Wu Chao said with a smile.
"Welcome." An Feng patted him, "But with your ability, you can't shake my mountain, look at who drank red wine and vomited this time?" Enjoyable enough, right? β
Wu Chao scratched his head and smirked, An Feng was true to his words, he really brought out a large box of red wine and dried it as a beer bottle, and the result can be imagined.
Ji Min glared at Wu Chao, and said helplessly: "This product is hard-mouthed, but there are not many catties and taels, don't bother him next time!" β
An Feng smiled and waved at them.
Then there was Wang Le, he didn't bring much with him, in addition to his bag, he also bought a trolley suitcase, which contained gifts for his family, still dressed in black, he also hugged An Feng and said: "For the details of the branch, we will contact online." β
"Tired." An Feng said that they are also good brothers in the dormitory, so there is no need to say more words of gratitude.
Wang Le turned around in a dashing manner: "That's it, brother let's go!" β
The most reluctant is probably Xiaoyu, the four days of visiting Disney are her happiest days, that is, she is now talking about how fun it is, and telling her mother that if she can play again, let her go to school obediently. It's really rare that the bear child was stimulated to make up his mind.
My sister said to An Feng: "We have thought about it in the past few days, the environment here is really good, and Xiaoyu likes it too, but I'm afraid that the pressure on your side is too great." β
An Feng shook his head and said, "Don't worry about this, you just educate Xiaoyu well, and the rest will be left to me." When I was a child, you let me everywhere and helped me, although I made you angry in many places, but I knew that you were the best sister, and now I will cover you. β
The brother-in-law smiled and said, "What's wrong with this scene, it's sensational." β
An Feng pouted and said, "It's not that you insist on saying goodbye to me one by one. Okay, for the time being, I'll go back for the Spring Festival. β
After listening to some advice from my parents, I waved goodbye after the last moment.
I made up for sleep at noon, and after getting up in the afternoon to wash my face, I picked up my mobile phone and dialed Lei's number. The last time I looked for the laboratory, there was a result, but An Feng didn't have time, so he could only ask Lei to help delay it to the back. After talking to him, Ray said that the lab was not difficult to find, but needed some money.
An Feng didn't care about this amount of money anymore, he booked a time period, and the next thing was to find or buy various matching grape tissues, and it took a few days to collect them completely. The vineyard was also officially harvested, and Anfeng picked the grapes used to make wine by hand, while other sales used machines, with a loss rate of about 8%, but the victory was fast, and now John Sr. has contacted the buyer.
After nothing happened, An Feng drove a pickup truck with excellent transportation capacity, brought the media and materials that he had personally debugged, and went to Los Angeles. Ray helped him rent a biogenetic lab at the University of California, Los Angeles at a high price. UCLA is a very famous university, often ranking in the top 15 in the world, and generally this kind of higher education institutions do not like to lend their own laboratories, but UCLA has a weakness: public.
Public universities in the United States are supported by government grants, but lately the government has been crying out for poverty, and even public universities are looking for ways to raise tuition fees to ease financial pressures. An Feng came up with a million yuan, coupled with the relationship between some investors in the past, there is still a way. Ray was very attentive in doing this.
A few hours later, I arrived in Los Angeles, according to the address, came to the entrance of the college, dialed the contact's phone on my mobile phone, explained my identity and made an appointment, and then a male scholar in his forties came out, took him into the college building, and found a rented laboratory.
After listening to the other party talk about some precautions and signing the damage compensation agreement, An Feng went to know the equipment in the laboratory one by one. Whether it is equipment or manuals, they are all professional words and abbreviations, but fortunately, he has been prepared for a long time, and he has already let the machine brain memorize the dictionary before coming.
Anfeng's goal is to breed highly adaptable genetically modified grapes, so that the top vines can grow all over the land of California, and completely rewrite the red wine market. It has the meaning of punching Bordeaux in France and stepping on the Yarra Valley in Australia.
His experiment was simple: repeat studies that had already been successful. The desired gene of interest is extracted, binded to the carrier, the DNA is recombinant, and then introduced into the recipient cells, where it takes a long time to screen the gene of interest β the only difficulty in the experiment is that it requires skill but patience. No matter how strong the next-generation technique is, it can't help him increase his patience, and there is a certain element of luck in this.
Although An Feng is lazy, he will not give up halfway, as long as he is patient, he will find the target gene sooner or later. After the most reconstitution, a large area is proliferated by a PCR machine to obtain the required recombinant cells and store them in the culture medium. You can then leave the lab and many of the next steps can be done at home.
The whole process lasted for several days, and An Feng felt that it was a little slow, but compared with the research and development time of other grape genetically modified technologies, which often took two or three years, he was probably the fastest in history. I stayed in a hotel at night and went to the laboratory during the day, re-experiencing the busy life of high school.
The office door was knocked twice, and An Feng was busy in front of the desktop gene gun, and said without raising his head: "Please come in!" β
The hidden door was pushed open, and a middle-aged white man in a white shirt, black hair, and glasses walked in, holding a cup of coffee.
An Feng glanced back and nodded slightly: "Good afternoon, Mike." β
"You too, Ann." The other party said.
"I'm sorry, but my experiment has reached a critical moment, please feel free." After An Feng said this, he continued to bury his head in his work.
"It's okay." The other party said politely. Coincidentally, Mike Keys is a biological research expert who specializes in the study of biological cells and has a deep understanding of cancer cells, a difficult problem in the world. By chance, he entered the wrong laboratory and met An Feng, who was working hard.
It was by accident that they chatted a few words, at first he didn't take An Feng in his eyes, he just thought that he was a diligent international student in the school, because Chinese are always very diligent, although their communication skills are not strong, but their hard work is not comparable to ordinary people. Keith asked some casually, but who knew that the other party knew no less than himself, and looking at his experiments and theories, I was afraid that he was better than himself.
I have done research for decades, but is it still compared to a young man? Intentionally or unintentionally, Keys talked about other topics, leading the content in a more advanced direction, who knew that this man's performance was as relaxed as ever, theoretical and experimental data blurted out, and some conclusions seemed to be ...... More accurate?
Later, after Keith went to his colleague who was doing this project to verify, he really found a calculation error, and after revising it, the answer tended to be more Chinese named Bruce. Keith was shocked, and he suddenly remembered a boring survey in the past, saying that the golden age for scientists to make major discoveries was between 25 and 35 years old, and the average age of American Nobel laureates was about 25 years old when they received their PhDs.
Comfort yourself in this way, and your mind will be much calmer.
However, An Feng was completely unaware of the shock of modifying the data of that subject to others, and at that time he just wanted to quickly screen the target gene and get rid of this annoying old guy, but he didn't expect to be entangled. In his spare time, he could only talk to Keith about something related to cytogenetics.
Maybe it's providence, when An Feng was working on grape transgenics, he touched on bioengineering, which also belongs to a large category, so it was related. According to the "law" understood by the machine brain, this can better mine the associated knowledge, so the knowledge of biological genes and cytology is available.
βOhοΌyesοΌβ An Feng suddenly cheered, attracting Keys who was drinking coffee, and saw the smile on his face, overjoyed.
"I made it!" An Feng rarely took the initiative to open the topic.
"Congratulations!" Keith said.
An Feng excitedly took out the recombinant cells, and now all that remains is to use the PCR machine to copy it to 10 billion to 100 billion times, and then carry out cell tissue culture, put the target cells in the culture medium, bring them back to his laboratory, and slowly wait for them to grow and develop...... After the harvest.
Keith gave him a hand and helped him a little. After An Feng finished it, he wanted to invite him to have a cup of coffee, but Keith said that he had good goods in his office, and An Feng didn't want to go far, so he went with him. Then some other research experts came, all of whom were called "Dr", a lot of fierce people with double doctorates, and An Feng felt pressured.
Mike Case: This is a feast, this old fellow, his conscience is very bad!
This time, they were lucky, and after fighting for a week in a row, An Feng got what he wanted, and he said more when he was in a good mood. The so-called mutual communication is basically that he is coping with it, and other people are communicating. They can't listen to what An Feng says, how do they come, how the machine brain will be broken.
An Feng took a sip of coffee and said seriously: "I also think that after the X mutation of the expression gene that Dr. Case said induces cancer cells, it can permanently kill cancer cells, but it also needs to create a chain reaction, otherwise the drug will cause damage to other normal cells." β
(X is for)
They exchanged views on what An Feng said.
An Feng complained in his heart: Damn, who cares what you say, I have a lot of ways to permanently kill cancer cells...... But I won't tell you!
Later, An Feng said that he wanted to end his research, and when he packed up and went home, they invited An Feng to join the research group - although he only has a bachelor's degree that is not recognized by the United States, Lao Mei and these nerds are really doing research, who cares what degree you have, just have knowledge.
An Feng refused, he didn't do this kind of thing, and the research results were achieved, the main credit is yours, Lao Tzu will hang a name behind the most? Just kidding, it's better for you to work for me, I give you a project that you can't finish in your lifetime, and it can produce results in an average of a few years.
After exchanging communication methods with them, An Feng resolutely left. However, on the way back, he had this idea, and hired a group of subordinates to do research and develop his subject...... Lazy to make trouble. In this case, although it was a simple (for him) experiment, it took a week.
If it's more complicated and larger, will it take half a year?
An Feng didn't have the patience, he thought about dividing a topic into multiple groups of content, so that different people could study different regions...... Just like a research institute, the intellectual patents researched by employees belong to the research institute, they get their names, and Anfeng profits, why not?
