On one side is the impossible task, and on the other side is the imagination and the generous reward that is temporarily beyond common sense.

Wang Tao chose the latter, "I'll just contact." ”

"Okay, then let's go to the venue while we get in touch." Xue Wang said.

"Venue?" Wang Tao asked.

"There's always a place to do research. It was too late to build from scratch, so I went to the school and rented their lab. Xue Wang replied.

His mammoth head gold is now reduced every day. The missing part will be sent to him through bank transfers and cash.

Only then did he know that although cashless transactions were convenient and fast, they had many disadvantages and almost no privacy.

If it's tens of millions of small money, it's fine, like now, his bank turnover this month is almost over 100 million.

Although the bank did not have the time to investigate his source of funds, it was very annoying to have more than ten financial advertisements every day.

Therefore, in order not to receive more funds in his account, Xue Wang thought of a way to directly let the person who paid spend the money.

The small single laboratory building he rented was one of the results of Xue Wang's efforts to spend money.

"Rented?" Wang Tao asked again. How can even the laboratory be rented, is this school reliable?

In fact, as he thought, the school was not very reliable.

The school is mainly divided into two types, one is based on scientific research, supplemented by teaching, and teaching is to cultivate talents for scientific research. The other is that scientific research is disabled, teaching is the mainstay, and scientific research is just a school that school leaders think should have.

The school in Xue Wang's hometown is the case of the latter.

Therefore, someone donated a large sum of money to the school, just renting a laboratory building, of course!

Wang Tao, who doesn't understand the joints, thinks it's magical.

In fact, at the beginning, Xue Wang also felt a little magical.

However, if you get used to it, you get used to it.

On the way to the laboratory building, Wang Tao began to contact his seniors.

However, although he contacted a lot of people, he didn't get a lot of feedback.

Because, among them, those who stay in the industry, have projects in the laboratory and work obediently. More people have changed careers, some go to food delivery to experience life, and some learn programming to become programmers.

In a word...... The vast majority of people, although they have a heart for scientific research, do not have that power.

In the end, there were only a dozen or so people who expressed a little excitement.

But it's not just the salary that they're interested in.

However, even the people who came secretly said to their families, "If I go and don't come back, go and rescue me, I am a little suspicious that this is a new style of transmission (harmony) pin, just to deceive me." ”

Young people from all over the world, with and without hair, gathered in this city.

"How's that, it's okay." Xue Wang looked at the rather mellow laboratory and asked. Although he had just graduated, he had never been close to scientific research.

The school he was in, neither the students nor the teachers, had contributed to the frontier of human knowledge.

Wang Tao looked at one familiar instrument after another, and walked lightly down the aisle.

Although these instruments are all domestic, they may not be accurate, but they ...... Even if it is not imported, it is definitely not cheap.

He finished a circle and suddenly said, "Can you get the ball out?" I would like to see how to design an experimental protocol. ”

"Okay." Xue Wang released the ball, and the lonely earth floated silently on the screen.

Wang Tao looked at the autobiographical ball that seemed to be hypnotized, and began to conceive a plan to create life in 98 days.

This seemingly impossible task becomes possible if you want to. It is impossible to solve one problem and then solve another.

That is, many projects are required at the same time.

Wait for the project to come to fruition, and then stitch together the parts that have been completed by each of the projects. In this way, multiple lines are parallel, and the task is most likely to be completed within the specified time.

But......

The key is......

What is the definition of "life"?

Wang Tao thought of this and asked, "What is the definition of our 'life'?" ”

Xue Wang is also prepared for this problem, he said, "It can exchange materials with the outside world for self-growth, and can reproduce and inherit its characteristics." ”

"In that case...... Protein viruses don't count. Wang Tao put down his luck thoughts.

Protein viruses, also known as prions, have no DNA and no RNA, and they carry a part of the genetic material in their proteins to reproduce.

However, it had no way to reproduce itself, which did not meet Xue Wang's requirements, so it had to be abandoned.

Xue Wang said, "I don't know if my previous thoughts are right, I think the structure of mycoplasma seems to be the simplest, can we use a certain mycoplasma as a prototype to replicate."

Although I know that you have concerns about scientific ethics, if the life created here is not on Earth, even if it is not on Earth, even if it is used with disease-causing mycoplasma, there is no problem.

If it were a reproduction of the experiment in the United States, the DNA fragments on my side could now be spliced and made.

If you say, just design the other parts of the plan and I'll do it. ”

Only then did Wang Tao remember Xue Wang's ability to directly see molecules and manipulate "everything" in the ball, and he suddenly had confidence in creating life.

Of course, he also put his hand in his pocket and continued to record Xue Wang's behavior.

About five days later, Wang Tao's brothers and sisters came one by one.

After filtering out some, counting Wang Tao, there are still ten left.

Wang Tao divided the ten people into five groups to see how to design each part of the mycoplasma.

And the part they designed was put to Xue Wang, and Xue Wang carried out the actual operation.

As everyone runs in, the progress is getting faster and faster.

Ten days have passed, and there are still eighty-three days before the deadline of the task, and the team has basically completed the run-in, and everything is on track.

Xue Wang, like everyone on the team, is a fulfilling day.

He can see the progress of the project every day, and his anxiety has been alleviated.

Wang Tao also gradually grasped the rhythm of the command team.

As for the students who stayed in the school during the summer vacation, there are all kinds of rumors about this laboratory, which was originally located in the corner of the school.

Just when everything was not on the right track, Wang Hongqi, who had been delayed for a while, finally came.

Because all the steps of the experiment had to be operated by Xue Wang, Xue Wang, who was not easy to leave, did not go to greet him in person this time.

However, when Wang Hongqi arrived at the laboratory, he did not feel any gap.

Right now, all he thinks about is the ball.
