Chapter 016: Creation of Gods and Supergods

Jingle Bell ......

The next morning, Xu Cheng was woken up by a ringing phone, reached out and grabbed the mobile phone that was charged on the bedside table, glanced at it, and found that it was a local unfamiliar number, and asked lazily after connecting: "Hey, which one?" ”

"Mr. Xu, listening to your old man's sexy and lazy voice, you won't be lying in a gentle nest now, right?"

"Who are you?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, Xu Cheng seemed to hear the sound of deep breathing, quickly reacted, and asked tentatively, "Mr. Hong?" ”

Hong Wan said in a tone without any emotional fluctuations: "Mr. Xu, the twenty or thirty people in the scientific research center are waiting for you to come, if you can't come today, I'll let them disperse first......

"You sit and talk, I'll be there shortly."

"Hurry up!"

Xu Cheng defended: "I don't have a woman. ”

Hong Wan was angry, who cares about your, "I asked you to hurry up, I didn't let you finish the woman and come again." Where do you live, I'll arrange a car to pick you up. ”

"Longchang Village."

"Longchang Village, haven't you heard of it, is it a high-end residential area?"

"An urban village in Anzao District."

"City ...... Village? Mr. Xu, there are not many people I admire, and your ability to pretend to be forced is definitely among the best among the people I admire. You are chic, you are awesome, and you are enlightened in the dragon field. ”

"How do you speak...... Feed...... Hung up. ”

Xu Cheng felt inexplicable, why was it awesome to live in an urban village? To be honest, it's also called pretending? Before that, his parents were the aunts in the village.

Suddenly thinking of something, Xu Cheng turned on V, yes, the happy female president became an 'angry female president', and she didn't change her nickname three or four times a day, this should be a disease.

In addition, Hong Wan sent him a message, to the effect that he went to the scientific research center for a meeting this morning to see the time, and sent it last night, when Xu Cheng was already asleep, and he didn't bother to look at it when he heard it.

After dressing up and washing, Xu Cheng casually picked up a glass bottle from the table, unscrewed the lid, drank a sip of fresh blood beautifully, and praised: "You can drink when you get up, Jace is a person who can handle things, and he is too intimate." ”

A red-haired figure nearby stiffened slightly, and the fucking Jace was intimate, and it was me who was really caring!

At the same time, Xiafeng District Industrial Park, Hongkang Medical Research Center.

Hong Wan stood in the aisle and finished making a phone call, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and quickly changed her V nickname to express her mood at this moment.

"Mr. Hong!"

Hong Wan was startled, hurriedly hid her mobile phone, turned her head to look at the visitor, and said with a subtle expression: "It's Professor Yu." ”

"Mr. Hong, is Mr. Xu still here?"

"Come on." Seeing that Yu Xin was about to speak and stopped, Hong Wan asked, "Professor Yu, do you have anything to say to me?" ”

Yu Xinjian hesitated: "It's a little idea." Mr. Hong, you are a student of biomedical engineering, an insider, do you think that with the current scientific research conditions of our company, it is possible to realize the commercialization of artificial blood within one year? ”

Hong Wan said keenly: "Professor Yu, someone has poached you?" ”

Yu Xinjian was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Mr. Hong, there is nothing to do, but I am a little uneasy, we don't know much about Mr. Xu, I want to hear your opinion." ”

"In the past, we were researching cancer therapies, from external therapies such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy, to the root cause of cancer cells, and using gene editing to remove mutant genes. With me here, don't worry. ”

Yu Xinjian smiled and said: "The company treats us well, and the work has been very smooth in the past few years, and we all hope that the company will get better and better, and become bigger and bigger." ”

"Once the artificial blood project is commercialized, Hongkang Medical will become a new giant in the medical field, and we are all the builders of this building. ”

But can it succeed?

Hong Wan really has no bottom in her heart, the scientific research strength of Hongkang Medical Research Center is not very strong, and it is not ranked at all in the country, so many large research institutes with perfect equipment, excellent conditions and sufficient funds have not overcome the commercialization problem of artificial blood, why can Hongkang Medical do it?

Promised?

I'm sorry, Hong Wan doesn't know him either, but she just saw some clues from her father's attitude, and her mother seems to be quite taboo about him and refuses to say anything.

Scientific research is not a dinner party, it needs a theoretical foundation, it needs experimental instruments, scientific researchers, Xu Cheng is not well-known in the industry, and suddenly came out and said that I can commercialize artificial blood, even if he is the boss, he will not be recognized by professionals.

Everyone came early to wait, except for curiosity and face for the new boss, there was no meaning to read jokes.

"I hope what you told me is true, you really have the ability to commercialize induced hematopoietic stem cell technology, otherwise before I leave, I will persuade you to die, after all, Hongkang Medical is also a place that I have been working hard for for several years, and I don't want it to be tossed down." Hong Wan sighed lightly.

Xu Cheng received a call from the driver, went to the village entrance to get in the car, and took more than half an hour to rush to the Hongkang Medical Research Center.

Walking into the conference room, twenty or thirty pairs of eyes looked at him together, Xu Chengke was not as cheeky as the 'bitter female president', and said embarrassedly: "Sorry, something delayed." ”

Hong Wan got up and said, "It's my mistake, I only sent the meeting arrangement to Mr. Xu V last night, and I didn't call him to inform him." Mr. Xu, everyone is full of enthusiasm for the new project, you can arrange the task directly. ”

Xu Cheng glanced at her gratefully, walked quickly to his place, motioned for everyone to sit down, and said: "As we all know, man is not a long-lived creature from the beginning of nature's design, and his natural lifespan is only thirty or forty years. ”

"Oxygen is a necessity for human beings, and aerobic respiration brings a lot of energy and nourishes almost every cell in the human body. Without oxygen, we will gradually suffocate to death. But in the eyes of some experts, oxygen is actually a chronic poison. Because when people breathe, they produce a harmful substance called 'oxygen free radicals', which can cause damage to the biofilm system and intracellular oxidative phosphorylation disorders, and are direct participants in human disease, aging and death. ”

"The essence of human aging is cellular decay."

"Why do cells decay?"

"Because there is an upper limit to the number of cell divisions, it is affected by the telomeres of the DNA. With each round of DNA replication, telomeres will become shorter, and when telomeres are exhausted, cells will stop dividing, and the human body will inevitably age and become cancerous. ”

These are all common sense, and the researchers present know it, but from Xu Cheng's mouth, it can at least prove that the new boss is not a straw bag who doesn't understand anything, and everyone looked a little serious and listened quietly.

"These all show that people have a life limit, and the life span given by nature is only thirty or forty years, with the development of science and technology, we have increased the life expectancy to seventy or eighty years, and biologists have long paid attention to telomeres in an attempt to achieve longevity through telomeres."

"Although it has not yet succeeded, science has told us that it is possible to prolong human life with scientific means."

"Imagine a little further, after finding the longevity code, we will have enough time to unravel the mysteries of the human body, decipher the genetic code, protein language, develop potential, and realize the highest form of human beings - eternal life!"

"What should we call ourselves at this time?"

"God!"

Xu Cheng opened his arms excitedly, and said in an impassioned tone: "No, it's not enough, Hongkang Medical can't stop at the god-making stage, but should strive to move forward and surpass the gods." ”

A little researcher interjected very shamelessly: "Mr. Xu, it's not easy to make gods, right?" ”

Xu Cheng glanced at him and nodded, "Of course it's not easy." In my vision, there are at least two preconditions for the creation of gods, one is longevity, and the other is to solve the threat of most diseases. ”

"In the life sciences, there are often people who argue about mechanical ascension and biological supergods, but in my opinion, there is no need for them, the two paths are different, complementary to each other, and can develop at the same time. However, we do not have the ability to develop at the same time, so we can only focus on one of them. ”

"As we all know, stem cells are amazing, and embryonic stem cells in them are developmentally totipotent, and theoretically they can induce differentiation into all kinds of cells in the human body. In other words, all the organs in our body are transformed from embryonic stem cells. This also means that we can achieve in vitro organ cultivation as well as unlimited donor transplantation. ”

Hong Wan's eyes lit up, she had also studied artificial organs at the beginning, but unfortunately the differentiation of induced stem cells into organ cells was too complicated, and it was not something that their small research center could handle at all, so she had no choice but to change the direction of her research.

"Artificial organs are more complex, and we don't have the conditions for the time being. As the saying goes, you have to eat one bite at a time, persimmons pick soft pinching, hematopoietic stem cells belong to the pluripotent stem cells, which can artificially induce differentiation into blood cells, solve the problem of blood supply, and many blood diseases can also be well treated. This one is relatively simple, so let's tackle it first. ”

"So, how do you overcome it?"

Hearing Xu Cheng throw this question, the researchers present perked up, pricked up their ears, and some subconsciously opened their notebooks and prepared to take notes.

The big one is coming!
