was scolded back by the researchers of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Minister Wan returned to the hotel depressed to complain to Chen Nuo.

"Director Sun (Sun Muyang, Director of the National Gene Bank Research Institute), Minister Wan, they are going back, do we really want to offend the Bluestar Group?" The young scientist asked.

Sun Muyang said: "If you offend, you will be offended!" If he Chen Nuo has the ability, he will find a team to do sequencing by himself! Why do you want our library? ”

In the final analysis, Sun Muyang still has jealousy in his heart.

The gene bank has been in his hands for more than ten years, and there has not been much progress in scientific research except for checking the data to find the root cause.

Sun Muyang is still worried that if the gene bank is taken away by the Bluestar Group, there will be any major scientific research achievements, and the Bluestar Group and Chen Nuo will be in the limelight, but the reputation of his Sun Muyang's team will be stinky.

Professor Sun is in his sixties this year and is also old.

His most glorious time was when he tested human genes, put genes into the database, and won the National Science and Technology Award.

Since then, he has hit a bottleneck in his research and made no progress.

As time passed, Professor Sun's scenery gradually faded, and he felt that this was the end of his life, and managing the national gene bank was his last glory and his last inner reliance.

Now Chen Nuo wants to take away the gene pool? No way! Emotionally speaking, absolutely not!

"These people are pedantic, and they don't look at who the gene pool is given to? Will the Bluestar Group do something unfavorable to China? Minister Wan felt a little guilty, the Bluestar Group did a lot of things that should be done by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences didn't know how to be grateful and set up obstacles.

Chen Nuo also knew that things would not be so simple to achieve, and persuaded: "In fact, the Chinese Academy of Sciences cannot be blamed for this matter, it is not a trivial matter for the national gene bank to be handed over to us for use, and they must also take responsibility for their own actions." ”

Minister Wan was still depressed and said: "It's not for them to transfer the right to use, it's just for them to sign and agree to the proposal, and it's not up to them to decide whether to give the right to use, it's up to the state." ”

The Chinese Academy of Sciences is the competent unit, and Professor Sun is a highly respected person.

If he didn't open his mouth to agree, no matter how much effort he put into it, it would be in vain.

Chen Nuo made a pot of tea for Minister Wan and said, "Things are not so absolute, and we will report to the above, and the effect may be better." ”

Minister Wan asked, "How do you say this?" ”

"Bluestar Group must always have a visible reason and visible achievements before it can open its mouth to the country."

Chen Nuo took out the 10-year report of the National Gene Bank, which was downloaded from the official website of the National Gene Bank, and it showed the information collected by the National Gene Bank sequencing team from various places during the sequencing years.

For example, where there are more complications of which diseases, and where people have genetic defects.

"Professor Sun once extracted the genes of traditional Central Plains people in Dongyang County, Zhongzhou Province, but found a problem in Fuhu Village in Dongyang County, which Professor Sun regarded as the saddest and most powerless thing in his life, so he included it in this report and also stored the defective genes in the gene bank."

Chen Nuo handed the tablet to Minister Wan and said, "Brittle bone disease, also known as osteogenesis imperfecta. It is a genetic defect that runs in families. Professor Sun found hundreds of such diseases in Fuhu Village, the oldest village in the Central Plains. ”

Chen Nuo briefly introduced the symptoms of this case to Minister Wan - bone deformity, easy fractures, short life expectancy, and death at the age of 50.

Professor Sun had studied this defective gene, but there was nothing he could do. At present, there is no better treatment for this disease in the world, and the only thing that can be done is to let the families with this disease not have children and avoid the transmission of defective genes to the next generation. ”

Chen Nuo took out Professor Sun's report two years ago and said: "Unfortunately, the economy of Fuhu Village is backward, and people are generally unaware, where did Professor Sun go to watch again two years ago, and found that there are 67 families suffering from this disease, and the number of patients has reached 345." ”

Chen Nuo sighed and said, "Every family longs to have a child, even if they know they are sick. ”

Minister Wan Yin understood Chen Nuo's plan and said, "Your consciousness is that the genetic technology of the Blue Star Group can treat this disease?" ”

Chen Nuo nodded and said, "At least let their next generation be plagued by this disease." ”

The genetic technology of the planting community has long been able to recombine the genes according to the required arrangement, find out and strip the pathogenic genes of embryonic hypochondria, and then implant healthy genes, which should not be difficult.

"It's kind of a vote." Chen Nuo said: "Isn't the development of gene technology by Bluestar Group to solve these problems? ”

In the end, Chen Nuo and Minister Wan agreed on two steps, Chen Nuo will send the application report for the use of the gene bank to the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Science and Technology will report to the above.

At the same time, Bluestar Group will lead the technical team to Dongyang County, Zhongzhou Province to investigate and take samples on the spot, and then find a solution to the solution of osteomalacia in the laboratory.

Chen Nuo is a person who does what he says, he did not stop in Yanjing, and Jiang Li directly arrived in Zhongzhou Province by album to wait for the arrival of Lin Tianwei's team.

Is China very developed?

After decades of reform and opening up, China has become quite developed in science and technology and economy.

We have Shanghai, a financial center comparable to New York, and Jiangcheng, a new science and technology center. People in big cities eat, dress, use, and know more than Westerners.

But China is also lagging behind.

In the vast mountainous areas, in some closed Central Plains areas, the economic conditions and the lifestyle of the inhabitants here are not much different from those of more than a decade ago.

As an agricultural county, Dongyang County's economic conditions are indeed very poor. The tallest building in the county is six-storey, and the road is still a potholed concrete road.

As soon as the sun came out, yellow dust rose throughout the county, and trees, streets, houses, and even people's faces were covered with dust.

Chen Nuo and Jiang Li live in the best hotel in the county, no, there are no hotels here, and the best accommodation is the government guest house.

Chen Nuo closed the window and said: "When the mainland also develops to such a county, Huaguo will be truly strong." ”

Jiang Li also rarely sees such a county town in Huaguo, "Huaguo has a large population, and each place has its particularities. ”

"We have a long way to go." Chen Nuo said, "Lin Tianwei and they will only arrive tomorrow afternoon, let's go out for a walk first?" Experience the scenery of the small county town of China 20 years ago? ”

Chen Nuo is still very kind to Dongyang County, because in his childhood, he also spent time in such a lively and chaotic small county, which is an unforgettable memory of most young people in their twenties and thirties in China.
