Chapter 223: First Step
For Venter, after experiencing the baptism of war and the recasting of his soul from suicide, he believes that there is nothing in this world that can move him except science, and for him, the national honor is too deeply involved in interests, and he can sacrifice for this country, but he will not accept the exploitation of bureaucratic hell.

So he founded the Celera Company, and although he was eventually fired, he still did not want to be bound by the so-called fate, honor, and righteousness.
He set up his own lab, which was only open to insiders. What he's doing here is to explore the future of science, and he's talked about the Summer's Twilight virus in interviews, but no mainstream media has paid attention to him.
"We have wiped out a race of more than 100 million people with viruses in the past 600 years, and if there is really divine punishment, will it one day fall on the heads of us Americans? Ironically, the exploration of life sciences is now stagnant. Because it has no value. How ridiculous is this, to underestimate the invisible danger, to pay a heavy enough price to warn the world. ”
This is what he said in an exclusive interview with a journalist, this dialogue was published in late 2003, on the eve of the outbreak of the second Gulf War, he was resolutely opposed to war, he had seen too much of the destruction of mankind by war, and his heart was deeper than any scientist in the cruelty of war.
He founded a laboratory in Florida, a blessed state of America, where his research projects focused on the cultivation of marine organisms and microorganisms.
The most famous achievement is the synthesis of artificial life, which is known as the first human being to enter the realm of God!
In 2005, he launched the conference of synthetic life, and after 11 years of research, he has successfully synthesized a cell, although this cell is so simple, but this is the first time that human beings have successfully synthesized artificial life!
This artificial life, which he called "Cynthia", was the first cell in human history to be synthesized, the first cell with a computer as its parent cell, and a cell that could replicate and reproduce itself!
Although the cell is so simple, it only has 473 genes, four of which are useless, and simply indicate the names of its parents, the four R&D personnel.
"The artificial cell clusters of CVI-SYN30 are all spherical, and on behalf of our lab, I proudly announce to the world that we have successfully entered the realm of God. In 2002, when I was fired from Celera, everyone thought I was going to lose my soul, and I would be alone on my yacht, drinking alone, and spending my days with the waves. ”
"Actually, I wanted to leave for a long time, but Celera kept telling me that I could only be fired, not leave alone."
"Today, Cynthia, proves to me that my genetics work portends the future. Only people who are courageous and fearless like me dare to face their future! ”
Venter is very strong, Gates clearly understands this, for the person who can refuse the Purple Heart Medal issued by the US Congress, and can boldly say no to the Nobel Prize, is there anything he dare not do? The reason he is so proud is because of his talent, his mindset that amazes the world, and his powerful hands-on ability to amaze the whole world.
And he is a Vietnam War veteran, the kung fu in his hands has been baptized by war, and his eyes and behavior are full of a kind of anger, and ordinary people will involuntarily fall behind in the face of this anger.
But Steven Chu didn't, his upbringing came from an ancient, harsh Oriental education, and he grew up in the liberal United States of America, and he was not very interested in any power and so-called majesty.
When the car was flying in the air and cruising faster than Mach 3, from Southern California to Florida, Steven Chu realized that the construction of the National Academy of Sciences must be accelerated, otherwise the gap in this technology will become wider and wider!
"Sarn, this flying car is really convenient, and even in the face of strong convective weather, it is enough for us to travel from the West Coast of the United States to the East Coast in just 2 hours. This pulse detonation engine is really powerful. ”
Steven Chu said to a young man, this is the person he brought out from Lexington, this young man is Sarn, the grandson of the president of the Liberty Sons Society, when Steven Chu visited Lexington, the old president, and finally asked Steven Chu for something.
"Can cars fly now? It's really remarkable. Sarn touched the glass of the car and said, "Are all cars like this now?" But the news media didn't report it. ”
"In this world, until now, only the Cree flying car can soar in the blue sky, and the window in front of you is a deceleration glass, so that we will not be dazzled when we are driving at high speeds, and I suspect that the outer layer of this glass is palladium-containing metallic glass."
"At the same time as the aircraft breaks through the sound barrier, because of the high-speed friction between the aircraft and the air, it will cause high temperatures and metal softening, but do you feel the heat? The effect of this thermal insulation is worth learning from. Our F22, known as the most advanced fighter in the world, can't even solve this problem, in fact, the F22 pilot, every flight, is like a sauna. The cockpit of civil aviation does not require more avionics systems. Fire control system. So an automatic temperature control system was installed, but every centimeter of the fighter was precious! ”
"You see, this is the technology we want to catch up, and now our technology has fully fallen to Cree, if we don't do something, Cree will run farther and farther."
Steven Chu is not wholeheartedly for the U.S. government, or for Gates, he just takes money to do things, and for Gates to organize the National Academy of Sciences, he is also for his own promotion, and for him who has become the U.S. Secretary of Energy. Already looking to a higher position.
Dissatisfaction is the driving force behind the continuous progress of mankind, and Steven Chu has seen longer and farther, so he has read Roosevelt's Red Book, and because of this, he now sees the future more clearly.
The United States is no longer the United States, which was the number one in the world at the beginning, and it is no longer the superhegemon that says one and the world must say two; under Zhu Cheng's successive attacks, the US gross domestic product has plummeted at the same time, and it has also been the instability of American society and the outbreak of various contradictions.
In his opinion, it is a matter of time before it falls apart, he is planning in advance, and technology is the most important weapon in his hand, this weapon is so powerful, it once made Germany after World War I, in the face of high war reparations, more than half of the state-owned wealth was divided by the foreign powers, still has the ability to start World War II!
That's the beauty of technology! Therefore, Steven Chu's purpose is very simple, to master American science and technology, and to face possible challenges in a more calm and orderly manner in the face of great changes.
Venter is very good at enjoying it, and his enjoyment is multifaceted, especially after he left the company that someone else invested in to set up his own lab!
His $100 million was spent on enjoyment of more than 50 million! He bought a yacht and stayed in his small port, and every day he would follow his team to the sea to fish, enjoying the sea breeze, sunshine, and beautiful women every day.
His laboratory was so luxurious, luxurious to the point that Steven Chu was ashamed, and indeed in the bureaucratic hell, this luxurious atmosphere was indeed prone to arouse the jealousy and attack of others.
Are you enjoying yourself when everyone else is suffering? Handmade sofas from Italy, knitted carpets from Poland, silver cutlery from the collections of the aristocracy of the past, and a variety of famous wines are placed in the solid wood wine cabinet.
Not to mention the pomp and circumstance of the famous underground wineries and the 10-day Venterle Labs wine tastings.
"I know what you're looking for me for, and my answer to you is no! Don't even think about it, that kind of bureaucratic hell, I'll never go back! Do your own research, use your own research to sell money, and you don't even have to apply for a patent, let alone a hateful patent infringement lawsuit! I'm like this, I'm comfortable. ”
When Venter walked from the upper floor to the living room, the first thing he said was refusal, and in Steven Chu's view, this is the best signal, such a clear refusal proves that Venter has thought about the purpose of his coming, and is even waiting for Steven Chu's arrival.
"Joked, I'm just a scientific research peer, come to visit, the world's most luxurious laboratory, it's really better to meet, the splendor here is beyond my imagination, Venter, you are a person who loves life very much."
Steven Chu is polite, stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, he understands, first eliminate this antagonistic atmosphere, before he can talk about serious things.
"It seems to me that you national bureaucrats smell of decay all over your body, and I can feel your stench even if I am far away from you! So hateful! Venter said fiercely, but on the wine cabinet, he lifted a bottle of wine, opened it elegantly, poured two glasses, and handed it to Steven Chu.
"Thanks for the hospitality. Let's get down to business, the United States is facing an important test lately. The United States needs you to join. ”
Steven Chu looked at Venter, hoping to see some changes in his expression, so that he could judge his true thoughts.
"Someone has already invited me before you, and that's Cree! The price he offered me was very exciting, and I don't think you can afford it! ”
"Gates won't give you that much money! Believe me. Venter had a playful smile on his face and stared at Steven Chu. This competition is definitely in his favor!
