Sun Yuanqi was shuttling between the officialdom of various provinces, racking his brains and trying his best to recall the fragmentary memories of his previous life. Because it has been more than ten years since I came to this world, the old memories are like a dream after a hangover, a muddy ink ball, everything seems vague and unreal, which will undoubtedly consume more time for Sun Yuanqi. It took more than a month for him to barely finish writing this nearly 100,000-word paper.

Although this paper has played a huge role in promoting the development of biology, especially genetics and biotechnology, and has been praised by later generations as "the last world-class achievement of a scientific giant" and "an epoch-making masterpiece that is as great as error and correctness", Sun Yuanqi was trembling when he wrote this book, just like Ah Q tried his best to draw circles, for fear that drawing melon seeds would leave a stain on his "line".

This is also reflected in the name of the paper.

If this paper had been written ten years ago when he was young and vigorous and had a clear memory, perhaps Sun Yuanqi would have called it "Principles of Modern Genetics", "A Concise Course in Genetics" or something like that, or simply "Genetics". Now he has lost his sharpness, so he has to call it "Some Prospects or Conjectures on the Future Development of Genetics", and I feel that I am not confident when I listen to it.

After finishing writing, Sun Yuanqi went back and carefully edited it, and felt that there was really nothing to write about, so he sent it to the American "Science" magazine. At this time, it was already mid-November, and Zhao Jinghui and Rutherford were ready to go overseas.

Originally, Zhao Jinghui didn't want to go to Sweden to receive the award, because she had never gone out alone since she was a child. This time, I went to a foreign country for the first time, and I inevitably felt some fear and rejection in my heart. And his son is only six or seven months old and is still breastfeeding. This also worries her. Sun Yuanqi tried his best to persuade Zhao Jinghui to go abroad to have a look. Although the situation in Europe is becoming more and more tense, like a powder keg that can be ignited at any time, and in a year and a half the whole of Europe will become a hell on earth, at least it is not too dangerous to travel around for now, let alone someone else to provide accommodation.

In his opinion, Zhao Jinghui has indeed made some achievements in drug research, but the research methods are still slightly monotonous. Her academic horizons are not broad enough, which will affect her future academic development. If you can travel abroad, you can discuss the development of academic frontiers face-to-face with your peers. The exchange of research experience will not only expand her influence in the academic world, but also allow her to learn from the advanced scientific research experience of the West.

In his previous life, there were rumors that Taizu had repeatedly made stupid moves after the founding of the country. First, lead the snake out of the hole. followed by a big effort, and finally even the failure of "taking class struggle as the key link" appeared, in the final analysis, because he stayed in China when he was a teenager and did not come into contact with the west wind and European rain; He also loves "Twenty-four History", and is deeply influenced by the feudal emperor's thoughts, so he uses the art of the king to rule the world, and even proposes that "the world is in chaos and the world is in great order." After seven or eight years, it will come again". If only he had embarked on a big ship bound for France in 1919. Like Zhou Chengxiang, Zhu Taiwei, Deng Taizong and others, he accepted the influence of Western life, and maybe he would also advocate reform and opening up. Governing the country with democracy and freedom. Of course, history cannot be assumed. If Taizu really went to France that day, would Taizu still be Taizu?

After Sun Yuanqi's repeated persuasion, Zhao Jinghui finally followed her husband's advice. Seeing this, Lao Zhao, who was close to the sixtieth birthday, hurriedly took the initiative to ask Ying and asked to accompany his daughter to the West for a walk. Lao Zhao's thoughts, Sun Yuanqi naturally knew it, he was just worried that his daughter would be bullied in the barbarian state, so he wanted to follow him to escort him.

Sun Yuanqi is optimistic about Lao Zhao accompanying him abroad.

Since ten years ago, Jingshi University has been full of Western students, but because the wars of aggression of Western powers in modern times and the misdeeds of European and American missionaries have left a serious psychological shadow on the Chinese, Lao Zhao and other Shandong people have all stayed away from foreign students without exception. Everyone understands the truth that "a grain of mouse feces spoils a pot of soup". Although the crimes committed by the Western powers against China in modern times are innumerable, it does not mean that all Westerners are blood-drinking, ferocious barbarians, and this is not at all understandable. However, this communication dilemma of Jingshi University cannot be broken by words and money. Now that Lao Zhao has gone abroad, looking at Westerners and Western civilization from the perspective of a simple old Chinese peasant, he may be able to find a way to resolve the estrangement, right?

It has been a long time since Science magazine received Sun Yuanqi's paper, and the last time it seems to be a few years ago when the general theory of relativity was published, Einstein was the first author, Mileva was the second author, and Sun Yuanqi was the third author and corresponding author. A few years have passed in a flash, and in the early years, the experience of receiving strange theories from the East seems to have become a legend in the editorial department. At this time, I suddenly received a signed article "Yank? Johnson's long essay and the editors of the magazine were all surprises, and there seemed to be more surprises among them.

Although Dr. Johnson is well known for his extensive research in fields ranging from physics to chemistry, from electronics to astronomy, to computer science and software engineering, he is also said to have published in China on pedagogy, psychology, and linguistics (Hanyu Pinyin schemes and dictionaries). But now that I'm meddling in biology, it's a bit out of bounds, right? Could it be that someone is pretending to be Johnson to play the magazine?

After careful examination, we found that the postmark of the envelope was indeed sent from China, and the signature of the paper was also from Jingshi University in China.

I flipped through it a few times, and it was Dr. Johnson's dissertation. However, for the sake of insurance, Science magazine still sent a telegram to Sun Yuanqi to inquire about the authenticity of the paper in line with the principle of "being careful and not making a big mistake". Of course, they don't stupidly ask, "Dr. Johnson, we received a paper called "Some Prospects or Conjectures for the Future Development of Genetics", did you write it? Instead, he politely told, "Dr. Johnson, the paper has been received and is being typeset." If the paper was written by Sun Yuanqi, the call back might just be a simple "thank you"; If he hadn't written a recent paper, he would have called back quickly to question it. It's a tactful quest.

After receiving Sun Yuanqi's affirmative answer, the Science magazine immediately removed the paper that was originally going to be printed and replaced it with the sixty or seventy pages long. Due to the lack of time and a suitable commentator, the editor of the magazine had to step in and add a short note to the article:

This great paper is the most brilliant scientist of the day, Yanke? Dr. Johnson's latest writings.

Since 1898, Dr. Johnson has made epoch-making contributions to chemistry, physics, astronomy, electronics and other disciplines with his extraordinary energy, extraordinary wisdom and keen insight, and even single-handedly established many new research fields such as relativity, quantum mechanics, computer science, software engineering, and superconductivity science.

A few years ago, he began to devote himself to politics and actively promoted education in the Far East. His move has drawn widespread criticism from the scientific community around the world, who believe that his entry into politics is a great loss to the scientific community, and its consequences are enough to affect the development of science today. It was also suggested that his talent had been exhausted and that it would have been wise to choose politics like Sir Newton.

After years of silence, he has finally published this great biology paper. He shattered the rumors with ironclad facts, proving that he is worthy of being the most outstanding scientist after Galileo and Newton, and almost the only encyclopedic scientist of our time!

In this monumental work, Dr. Johnson depicts the essence of genetics with his consistently amazing thinking, that is, the structure and function of genes, the transmission and variation of genetic material, and the realization and expression of genetic information. It goes on to describe what is possible in the next 100 years and how. These are the foundations on which living beings have relied for their survival, reproduction, and development since their inception, and they are also the knowledge that human beings have been striving for for thousands of years. There is no doubt that this paper will profoundly affect our lives and the world, as well as us as human beings.

It is a difficult question to answer that some may question the correctness of the paper's views, but at least all the current research has proven the correctness of the paper's views, or that the theory of this paper can accurately explain all the current research. At the same time, we should also note that since 1898, almost any theory or idea put forward by Dr. Johnson has been proved by experiments. Even if there are errors in the article in one way or another, or if the paper is proved to be wrong in the future, it will not detract from the greatness of the paper. That's why we published this paper so quickly.

Dozens of pages of papers and new technical jargon are Dr. Johnson's usual style, and these should not be an obstacle for biology researchers to read the article.

When a biologist is first introduced to this paper, you may think that it is too long; But when you finish reading, you'll wonder why it's only a few dozen pages long, not longer. We even have reason to believe that there will still be people who will sigh like this decades from now. (To be continued......)
