Chapter 40: The Enchanted Professor Wu
As a professor at the School of Life Sciences at Bodan University, Wu Xiangkun looks down on Li Jie.
This kind of guy who became a monk halfway through and changed to study the field of biomedicine is purely because he has achieved some results because of good luck, and because he doesn't know the height of the sky, he starts to put on a high-profile show all day long, which is not a serious attitude towards academics at all.
Play for the gallery!
I don't know what to say!
He has always been the most hostile to Li Jie's artificial genome project.
This kind of heinous behavior is the deepest pollution of the original pure natural genes of the human body, and will cause irreversible and serious consequences to future human beings and future generations.
In Wu Xiangkun's heart, Li Jie will definitely cause great harm to mankind and the medical community, and he has an important obligation to stop it.
In order to refute Li Jie's views and expose his dangerous moves, Wu Xiangkun has collected a lot of information and watched almost all of Li Jie's public speech materials.
With so many media and audiences present, if it is not publicized to everyone at that time, Li Jie's plan will inevitably go bankrupt.
Of course, at the same time, he Wu Xiangkun himself can also show his face a little and become famous, refute the world's attention to the artificial genome project, stop the big conspiracy to pollute human genes, and benefit the whole society, while enjoying some incidental benefits, it is also natural for him to enjoy some incidental benefits, isn't it?
So from the very beginning, Wu Xiangkun's heart was full of disdain, like a high-spirited warrior, full of momentum and excitement. Everything is ready, just waiting to refute Li Jie. I wasn't prepared to hear anything useful from Li Jie's mouth at all. In any case, they are all fallacies and groundless assumptions.
However, since Li Jie spoke. The expression on Wu Xiangkun's face froze.
Or in order to understand Li Jie's views and assertions, so that he can criticize them fiercely later, Wu Xiangkun, who already has a solid academic foundation, almost completely grasped the meaning that Li Jie wanted to express after two sentences, and his ideas were also highly consistent with him. Those who originally dismissed themselves as nonsense and alarmist opinions......
Sure enough, what a mess......
Well?
Can it still be understood in this way?
I don't know why, but it sounds like there is a little bit of truth in it?
According to this inference, it is necessary to consider it from this perspective. This law of development probably makes sense.
It really meets the needs of human beings, as if they are worried about the harm...... Or it may not appear at all.
Right! That's right! That's it!
It makes so much sense!
Wu Xiangkun had completely fallen into a state of intoxication, in order to hear more clearly, his body unconsciously slowly leaned forward, but his waist was always straight, his hands tightly grasped the handle of the seat, his eyes widened, and he would blink for a long time, and then maintained this somewhat strange-looking posture, never moving again.
There are even many problems that Wu Xiangkun had never considered before. It was also distilled in Li Jie's speech, and those seem to be imaginative. But the idea that seemed to be practical hit his heart repeatedly, making him almost cheer out loud with excitement. He seems to have found some of the original feelings, a bit like when he was young and just devoted himself to this discipline, forgetting to sleep and eat every day to engage in scientific research, and after fighting for many sleepless nights in a row, he finally made a breakthrough.
Wu Xiangkun felt that the long-lost passion seemed to have returned to his aging body, and his brain had become clearer than ever, like a machine that had been swept away from dust and wound up, roaring strongly and running at high speed, helping him to listen to Li Jie throw out one idea and theory after another, and even began to take the initiative to think about how to modify human genes in order to be more in line with possible future development trends......
"Human beings and all living things in the world have a similar trajectory, from birth, development, growth, to a certain stage of physical function begins to degenerate, gradually towards aging, and finally death, our body will be burned into ashes, and with a little luck, it may decay, decompose in the soil or coffin, and dissipate into cells. It's like a torrent of time rolling by, destroying the original beautiful life, washing it clean and erasing the traces we left in the world......"
"I can't say that an artificial genome can completely change that, but at least we are doing the same as all our ancestors for thousands of years - trying to make human life better and better......"
"Thank you."
After a full hour, Li Jie stood motionless and finished his speech this time.
For about twenty or thirty seconds, the entire auditorium was extremely quiet because Li Jie's voice disappeared, and there was hardly any sound.
Then, finally, a girl turned her stiff neck and let out a monosyllabic character that I don't know if it was an exclamation or a compliment. It's like the dominoes that were originally neatly arranged and motionless were toppled by the first one, and then the second, third, and fourth dominoes began to accelerate and topple into a long dragon. More and more people began to join in this exclamation, making one after another, all kinds of strange sounds.
It was as if the more than 8,000 people in the audience had been enchanted at the same time, and only now they were able to open their mouths to speak and make sounds again.
All these originally subtle sounds converged in one place, turning into a roar and drumming.
At the same time, many more people are doing similar movements, kneading their necks, backs, or waists that have been held in the same position for too long, resulting in poor blood flow and stiffness.
"Ahh Ouch ouch ouch!! ”
The first syllable that Wu Xiangkun uttered was very different from most people.
He was already over half a hundred years old, and because he had been engaged in scientific research for a long time, his waist board was not very good, so he maintained the same forward posture for an hour, which directly made him twist his waist, and he screamed like a pig without checking the pain for a while, and with the already long horse face distorted, it looked quite funny.
Leave others around very speechless.
"A new combination of genetic sequences...... Embryo-directed gene design ......"
Qin Yi pouted and rubbed her sour arm, she had been propping her elbows on the folding table of the chair just now, and only then did she feel extremely stiff and numb, but she didn't care about muttering some messy sentences in her mouth, so that Yin Qi, who was sitting next to her, was also distracted, and showed an extremely strange look.
She couldn't know her best friend better.
Qin Yi belongs to the typical passive learning type, what the teacher and textbook teach in order to cope with the exam, she learns. What is required for the test subject, what she assaults. Although he has a smart brain, he has never dabbled in knowledge and theories outside of the exam subjects like he did. Even if she has some free time, Qin Yi's chick will most likely only use it for snacks, watching soap operas, and sleeping.
Knowledge? What's that? Can you eat it? Is it handsome?
And today, what did Yin Qi hear?
Her best friend, who "doesn't learn and doesn't know how to learn" (in her eyes), actually seemed to listen to Li Jie carefully for an hour...... An hour and three minutes of lectures?
Yin Qi subconsciously raised her arm, and on her wrist, which was as white as jade, the hands of a delicate women's watch pointed exactly to 10:03 - the time when Li Jie's lecture began was very accurate.
She patted Qin Yi's head with a bit of curiosity:
"Fever? Didn't you come to see Li Jie? Are you interested in the content of this kind of lecture? ”
Regarding the most annoying action of her best friend, Qin Yi didn't dodge it as usual. It wasn't until she was slapped by her that she turned her head blankly and stared at Yin Qi with a cute expression, and after a few seconds, her eyes finally returned to focus.
"Ahh That's right, Li Jie is super handsome in a formal suit today! No, I'm going to take a few more shots and go back and show them off. I'll send a message to Sister Trist first, and when the lecture is over, I'll sneak backstage to see Li Jie! ”
Seeing Qin Yi, who had returned to her red-faced and excited state again, Yin Qi felt that she had finally returned to normal, so she said in a playful tone:
"Then what gene sequence combination and embryo-directed gene design you just talked about, do you understand what Li Jie meant?"
Qin Yi seemed to feel the ridicule and ridicule in her best friend's words, and immediately stared at her big eyes with dissatisfaction, as if she was insulted:
"Why don't you understand! Of course I understand, our family Li Jie said it so well, so simple and clear, how could I not understand. Doesn't that mean that the genetic sequence of the target embryo is modified and perfected in the embryonic stage in order to achieve the goal of creating a new human being......
"You really get it?! Haven't you been completely untouched with these things before? ”
This time it was Yin Qi's turn to be surprised, she was already more interested in this knowledge, and after coming into contact with Li Jie, she studied these relevant materials every day, and of course understood the meaning of the other party, which was not surprising at all.
But Qin Yi can actually say the truth?! Why did this little girl suddenly open up?
Why does this man have such a magical effect on a lecture? He is very good at research, is he so good at being a teacher?
Yin Qi became more and more curious.
After the end of Li Jie's personal speech, according to the scheduled plan, it was a regular question session. When he signaled that he could start asking questions, his arms, which were almost all raised, were densely packed and made up the overwhelming majority of the attendees, even those who sat in the long aisles of the stairs and looked like students.
The formation of countless arms raised high is unconsciously reminiscent of the infantry phalanx of the ancient Warring States period.
The spears are like a forest, mighty and majestic. (To be continued......)
