Chapter Seventy-Four: Zhang Feng's Reasoning (Thanks to 3.3k Plus More)
At this time, all eyes were focused on Yang Zhou, and Zhang Feng said so dead just now.
If Yang Zhou lies, he is endorsing his academic reputation.
If you don't get sick, of course it's no problem, but if it turns out that Yang Zhou is actually terminally ill in the future, and deny it now, what will others think of it then?
And President Hao Yu, Dean Liao Mingchu, and Professor Bai Shulong, who know the inside story, are now heartbroken.
This is equivalent to sprinkling salt on Yang Zhou's wounds!
But they couldn't do anything at this time, they could only look at Yang Zhou, hoping that he could resist the pressure, no matter what decision Yang Zhou made, they would still stand behind Yang Zhou.
Zhang Feng was also blacklisted by several people, don't think about any exchanges and cooperation in the future.
It's just that Zhang Feng is not a domestic person, if it is a domestic person, several people even want to suppress him.
Yang Zhou was still very calm, and Zhang Feng's questioning seemed to him to be a bit of a divine assist.
Originally, he didn't plan to hide the situation of a terminal illness for a long time.
Now that exposing one's situation at an academic conference is easier for the media to disseminate, wouldn't others be more sympathetic to him.
This experience value is not going up!
Yang Zhou did not evade, but said in a deep voice: "Since Professor Zhang cares so much about my body, it's nothing to say, that's right, I was diagnosed with cancer a few months ago, and it is already terminal cancer, and the doctor said that I probably won't live for half a year or a year." ”
When he said these words, Yang Zhou's expression was also in place, he looked down at his feet slightly, his bald head looked a little vicious, but now he was a little lonely.
This is not pretending, but Yang Zhou brought himself into a scene without a cheat.
Think about it, if you don't have a golden finger, wouldn't you just be desperate and wait for death now?
It's just that the system has given him hope and made him study hard in the past few months, trying his best to earn experience points.
Everything he did was to save his own life.
Of course, making more powerful hybrid rice can help more compatriots, and Yang Zhou is also very proud.
Then there's storytime.
Yang Zhou briefly repeated what he had said in front of Dean Liao and Professor Bai before.
He knew that he was terminally ill, so he took the risk of changing the subject and chose the unknown future of Cas9 gene editing.
He wanted to leave something behind, but it may have been fateful arrangement that allowed him to discover the secret of his genes.
Only then did he devote himself to the research of mutant hybrid rice, and achieved the current results.
There are 10,000 varieties of mutant rice, including varieties suitable for various lands, varieties with double yields, and varieties with a taste comparable to that of premium fragrant rice.
"Actually, at the moment when the rice sprouts, I feel that even if I die, this life is worth it!" Yang Zhou said the end and smiled optimistically.
But this smile is infinitely lethal, the first to burst into tears is Tang Yue, she watched Yang Zhou all the way over, she also invited Yang Zhou to travel around, taking advantage of the last time, to see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.
However, Yang Zhou chose to stay in the laboratory, so he made mutated radish and mutated hybrid rice, discovered the secret of genetic code, and created a new discipline of genetic code.
Then burst into tears, it was Wang Bingbing, a reporter from CCTV, and countless emotional reporters.
Then, the president, Dean Liao, Professor Bai, Grandma Tu and countless other Chinese scientists all had red eyes, and some even couldn't help but take out tissues to wipe away their uncontrollable tears.
Yang Zhou is so great.
He was terminally ill, but he chose to spend the last time of his life on scientific research.
We have also developed genetic technology that can make the times progress again.
He didn't even choose to go back to his hometown to spend time with his family.
One person carried it all!
How could such a person with high morals and a sincere heart let Zhang Feng continue to find fault.
Countless people hated Zhang Feng, and Zhang Feng didn't know it.
He was very happy to hear Yang Zhou's affirmative reply to Zhang Feng, because it verified his conjecture.
Yang Zhou must have learned that he was terminally ill, so he committed academic fraud, just to become famous before he died.
According to his thoughts, whether it is a bad name or a good name, as long as it is famous, it is very beneficial to Yang Zhou.
Zhang Feng has always felt that whether it is famous for eternity or for thousands of years.
can leave his name in the history books, thousands of years later, people still remember that there was such a number one person in history, and being a man can be regarded as a success.
He, Zhang Feng, has already done it.
Yang Zhou naturally couldn't do it according to normal development, and now Yang Zhou relied on luck to research the mutant carrot.
Relying on the mutated carrot, Yang Zhou will definitely not be able to leave a name in history, but he proposed the theory of genetic code, which is likely to be famous through the ages.
Zhang Feng still feels that Yang Zhou has not developed the gene code technology, so Yang Zhou can only choose to leave the stench for 10,000 years and start to play tricks on the global scientific community.
Anyway, we need to make some big moves.
Now, in front of countless biologists, Yang Zhou announced the success of 10,000 hybrid rice experiments, which are estimated to be reported by the global media.
A few months later, when the rice incident was exposed, Yang Zhou was either gone, or he became the focus of the world again because he played all mankind.
Of course, there are still some things that he can't figure out, such as the problem of growth acceleration.
He could only think that Yang Zhou's growth acceleration was cheating.
After all, one or two hundred years after mankind entered the era of the Big Bang of science and technology, for such a long time, millions of biological research workers have been researching, but they have not researched anything that can accelerate the growth of plants by more than 2 times.
Yang Zhou is a terminally ill teenager, and it is even more impossible to succeed in the research by temporarily changing the topic.
According to common sense, there is nothing wrong with Zhang Feng's speculation.
Coupled with Yang Zhou's avoidance of talking about accelerated growth, Zhang Feng felt more and more that Yang Zhou was playing with everyone.
"Although, the story you tell is very touching, I also have a guess, can you tell me?" Zhang Feng said with a straight face.
The more Yang Zhou looked at Zhang Feng, the more he felt that this was a god teammate, and said with a smile: "Professor Zhang, please speak." ”
"If I were you, a few months ago, I found out that I had a terminal illness, and then I wanted to leave something behind, but now I can't do the research topic at all, so I chose the popular field, Cas9 gene editing, this experiment is not difficult, and if you are lucky, you can produce some results."
"So, I ran to the tutor and told me that I wanted to change the topic, and the tutor persuaded me, but I didn't listen at all, I just wanted to change the topic, and a new topic started with twists and turns, maybe the luck was really good, and when I used Cas9 to transform the radish, I really produced some results."
"But this achievement has been published in general international journals at most, and it has not been published in the top three journals, so I had a flash of inspiration and made a fool of myself in the paper, first concocted the concept of accelerated growth, and then created a discipline, genetic code."
"This method really shocked the reviewers, and I passed the paper review as soon as possible, and the natural journal published my paper, and I deceived the school with my paper, so that everyone thought that I had really researched the profound knowledge of genetic code, so I decided to help me invite world-renowned scholars to a meeting."
"Knowing that the conference would be debunked, I had to find something to delay or convince others of my research, so I started working on hybrid rice again, first using gene editing technology, and finally quietly replacing the normal seeds when sowing seeds."
"I'm going to die anyway, so naturally I can have no scruples, my purpose is to write my name in history, and now I've succeeded!"
Zhang Feng described in a very indifferent tone what he had done in the past few months if he were Yang Zhou.
The others brought themselves in, and the eyes that looked at Yang Zhou suddenly became wrong.
Because they found that Zhang Feng's reasoning seemed to have some truth, could Yang Zhou's accelerated growth nutrient solution really be made up.
Will the germination of hybrid rice be all fake?
Yang Zhou just wanted to pretend to be a big wave before he died.
The people who know Yang Zhou are indignant, the foreign scholars are all thoughtful, and the reporters are still excited, today's melons are bigger than the other, it is really twists and turns, twists and turns!
As a top scholar, Zhang Feng still didn't block the road, in case Yang Zhou really didn't cheat.
So he explained: "Of course, the above is actually my conjecture, we scientists should have a realistic attitude, the courage to question everything to face anything, and please forgive Yang Xiaoyou, maybe your research is correct, if a few months later, the mutant rice matures, proving that Yang Xiaoyou has no problem, then I will definitely congratulate you, and be the first to recognize you, calling you the father of genetic code!" ”
praised himself in his heart, Zhang Feng felt that he could attack and retreat, no matter whether Yang Zhou had researched the genetic code or not, he Zhang Feng also had an undamaged reputation.
After all, what the scientific community wants is his questioning spirit.
It doesn't matter if you offend Yang Zhou at that time, after all, Yang Zhou has a terminal illness, and the grave grass is estimated to be a few feet tall in a few months, what can he do with him, a Massachusetts professor?
Yang Zhou listened to Zhang Feng's roundabout questioning, although he thanked Zhang Feng for everything he had done for his fame, he was still a little unhappy.
Especially at the end, Zhang Feng looked upright.
Black can be said to be white, isn't this just suppressing Huaguo Science and Technology, and I don't want him to occupy the academic high ground of genetic code.
He knew that the reason why Zhang Feng was so confident was because he thought it didn't matter if he offended him.
Yang Zhou was going to give him some color to take a look, lest the yellow-skinned and white-hearted people become more and more rampant.
Zhang Feng's biggest benefit is to earn patent fees from Cas9 technology, and to design experimental materials and sell them to countless laboratories around the world.
Relying on the Cas9 patent alone, the annual income is hundreds of millions of US dollars.
It also happens that he also has special bacteria, which can completely replace Zhang Feng's technology.
Zhang Feng has applied for countless patents for experimental methods, but as long as new bacteria are used, they can still be bypassed, and there is even a super trick.
That's free!
Originally, patents cannot restrict any experiments, simply put, if a product is patented, but the product is not used for commercial use, the laboratory can study it casually.
If Yang Zhou's new bacteria are also restricted by patents, it can only restrict Yang Zhou from being sold to other laboratories for his own profit.
But to make the new bacteria public, in order to prevent the bacteria from leaking, let other biologists come to China to open a laboratory and provide them with bacteria for free, relying on 100% success rate of gene editing, no one will not be tempted.
Relying on bacteria for gene editing is a backward technology here in Yang Zhou, and it will be eliminated sooner or later.
Using space-specific proteases, genes can be freely programmed.
Whether it is Zhang Feng's Cas9 technology, or Yang Zhou's preparation to snipe Zhang Feng, and the principal said that it is bacteria extracted from his own feces, they are all backward technologies.
In the future, only protease technology, or the new technology that Kazutoshi Mori collaborated with him, will be the future.
Yang Zhou smiled at Zhang Feng, and then said: "Everyone, the results of hybrid rice will be known after more than a month, and now I have another gene editor technology, which is really a coincidence, this technology is similar to Professor Zhang's technology, but the success rate is very different." ”
Everyone knew that this was Yang Zhou's counterattack, and they suddenly became interested.
Zhang Feng's smile suddenly froze on his face.
