Chapter 13: Their Origins (1)
Li Zhen had no idea about what was happening on the land of Qilu. However, at the moment, he is also doing something related to "Adam" - drawing blood.
Of course, this is the last step in the countless tedious and headache-inducing experimental procedures he has gone through today. Seeing the researcher in front of him pull out the thin needle from his elbow and carefully rest it in the tray on the side, Li Zhen couldn't help but ask, "Dr. Zhou, will I still use it tomorrow?" β
The middle-aged man on the other side smiled and waved his hand: "I'm not a doctor, just call me Teacher Zhou." When you're in the fifth grade, I'll give you a lesson. β
"Ah, you also teach at the school?"
Teacher Zhou nodded: "Yes." Most of us here are 'part-time'. Tomorrow, you won't need to come, but if something comes to youβyou'll have to come over. β
Li Zhen thought about it, and asked again while putting down his sleeves: "That...... How's the research going on about me? - Can I ask about this? β
"Of course." Teacher Zhou walked to the test bench with a tray and said with a kind smile, "If you are interested, you are welcome to come often." I heard your father say that you used to study very well and were quite interested in biology - do you want to work in our North Courtyard in the future? β
β¦β¦ Not again.
Li Zhen sighed helplessly in his heart. Maybe his mutations are really rare, but maybe the amount of power he showed twice with the help of that skeleton is really amazing...... Now, whether it is Ying Ran or the researcher of the North Academy, as long as he seizes the opportunity, he will pretend to ask a sentence or two "unintentionally".
Of course, it's a good thing to be popular. However, it is a headache to be "popular" all the time, but keep saying to others, "I haven't thought about it yet".
So he could only smile reluctantly: "Okay, if you have a chance in the future." β
Teacher Zhou turned his head: "Huh? That's okay. β
A soft, timid cough finally came from the side: "Ahem...... Professor Zhou, he hasn't finished his senior year of high school yet. β
Teacher Zhou laughed at this time, and said to Li Zhen: "Look, your psychiatrist won't let you go, and the Southern Hospital will take you very closely!" β
At this time, Li Zhen saw the kind banter on his face, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth and squeeze out a smile.
Alas. This is not the first time this has happened......
In the past, he thought that psychiatrists must be all people. If you are not a human being, how can you see through other people's thoughts, and how can you channel other people's thoughts? But he didn't expect the first psychiatrist in his life...... It turned out to be Miss Ann Ruosu.
Miss Ann is a good person, or rather quite goodβshe never blushes with you, and she doesn't argue with you about anything. When I meet people, I always smile softly, kind and kind. Even when they met the base's cleaning staff in the corridor, they first turned sideways to make way for others, and then sent a smile.
Li Zhen felt that such a girl was really not suitable for staying in this kind of environment - and heard that her father was Liu Yangbo of the empire, so she was even more puzzled. An uncle, why should he send his daughter here to suffer?
As for why he now calls other people's girls instead of women in his heart, it is also for this reason. He can't treat this timid Dr. Ann as a "sister" anymore.
It's more like his sister......
So in the past few days, he found that these people around him always seem to like to joke about Miss An. Of course, it's not the kind of joke that is particularly excessive, but it's all similar to the situation just now, "teasing" her.
And Miss An is always like now, blushing slightly, sitting on the side and fiddling with her mobile phone, and no longer speaking.
However, this is only limited to people of Mr. Zhou's age. The other young people were good to Miss Anβof course Li Zhen understood what was wrong. A girl like her, who is gentle and beautiful, and has a good family background, will always be the object of admiration of those young people in the base.
It's just that I heard that Miss An seems to have a marriage contract with the son of a certain Hou Ye - this is what he mentioned when he happened to hear people chatting, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and he also asked.
So what he had to do now is ...... Just ignored the joke just now, and continued to ask the question he was most concerned about: "Teacher Zhou, last time you said that my feather reacted with that ...... 'Adam', what did that mean?" β
Mr. Zhou put his eyes on the electron microscope and said casually, "That." I can't tell you that, it's all confidential. β
"Uh......" Li Zhen was stunned, "Didn't you say you could ask......"
"Then I didn't say I would tell you. Ha Lu Ha ......"
God knows how this Teacher Zhou can be so happy to make jokes!
However, according to Li Zhen's contact in the past few days, the wisest way to understand him is to remain silent.
So he stopped talking.
Teacher Zhou was there alone and laughed for a while. Sure enough, another person stopped.
Then he coughed: "Just kidding." Of course, I can't tell you the core information. It doesn't hurt to say that part of you. Now this cell in you...... can be unusual. β
"That's a miracle." "If you put it in ancient times, you would have to be caught and sucked blood." Fortunately, this is modern, and technology is developed. Your father said that your biology grades are quite good, so I will test your high school knowledge - how many times do normal people's cells usually divide? β
Li Zhen thought for a while, and the answer came to mind - as if he had just memorized the exam questions yesterday: "If I'm not mistaken, it should be 40 to 50 times, right?" Cells have telomerase enzyme, and with each division of telomerase a portion of the enzyme is damaged...... After a certain number of times, the thing disappears and the cell no longer divides. And then...... And as man grows old, he dies. β
"Hmm." Mr. Zhou seemed to be busy with what he was doing, put the slides into a petri dish, and then turned around, "Not all right." There are still some cells that live as long as a human lifespan. But it's all small details. Then let me ask you again, do you know what is going on with the cancer cells in the tract? β
I didn't elaborate on this, high school biology. However, after being reborn, Li Zhen thought about a lot of questions about himself, so he replied: "It's because ...... When the oncogenes of normal cells are turned on, they become cancer cells, and then they can divide indefinitely, occupy the living space of other organs, and release a lot of toxins? β
