PS: 2-in-1 chapter.

Stem cell experiments, mainly from epidermal stem cells, generally healthy skin contains a small percentage of stem cells, these stem cells are usually silent, but when the skin is damaged, they are activated to help repair the skin.

However, when the above process is wrong, it can lead to the occurrence of cancer.

DNA damage or activation of oncogenes triggers a cascade of reactions that eventually lead to abnormal cell proliferation and cancer.

It is here that the research in the laboratory hits a bottleneck, and the mouse subjects injected with stem cells almost always have such an outcome.

Hua Twelve followed Connie Carter and Ding Mengmeng to repeat the same experiment every day, expecting a miracle to happen, hoping that different experimental individuals would produce different changes, so as to provide detailed technical reference for the experiment.

But this kind of chance is slim, almost a big luck.

Of course, the experiment itself is actually a big luck, no matter what the experiment, it is to have a research direction first, and then use the knowledge learned to demonstrate it step by step, verify its feasibility, and the groundbreaking experiments that can succeed basically have the element of luck.

However, Hua Twelve still feels that if it continues like this, there will be no progress in stem cell research, and it is just a waste of time.

At the pre-work meeting that day, Hua Twelve proposed to Connie Carter and Ding Mengmeng:

"I think our experiments should go in a different direction!"

Connie asked with interest, "Tell me what you think!" ”

Hua Twelve organized his words and said, "I'm thinking, now that we all extract stem cells from the epidermis, can we turn everything around now and use our own adult cells to create a primitive cell like embryonic stem cells?" Maybe this will have a different experimental result. ”

Ding Mengmeng nodded suddenly: "The idea is good, you can try it!" ”

After thinking about it, Connie Carter's eyes suddenly lit up: "In this case, we can still use the virus!" ”

"Virus?"

Hua Twelve and Ding Mengmeng asked in unison.

"Yes, virus!"

Connie Carter explains: "Even if you use human adult cells to create primitive cells like embryonic stem cells, there is no guarantee that they will not mutate, so what if viruses are added to the embryonic stem cells process? ”

Seeing that the two didn't understand, she explained in detail: "We know that there is no way to change the properties of cells at present, except for viruses!" ”

"There are tens of millions of known transcription viruses, all of which can change the properties of cells, among which hepatitis B virus and HPV virus have the risk of becoming cancerous, but not all of them are available, as long as we find a safe and reliable virus that can even inhibit stem cell mutations, and use it to change the properties of cells, our problem will be solved!"

Ding Mengmeng waved her small fist: "yes, I finally see hope!" ”

Connie Carter shrugged her shoulders and smiled at her student:

"Don't be too optimistic, there are tens of millions of viruses, if we are lucky, it will take us thirty or forty years to find the answer, I guess I can't wait, but you still have hope, good luck!"

"I'm sure we'll make it!"

Ding Mengmeng smiled and high-fived Connie Carter, then turned around to clap hands with Hua Twelve, who rolled his eyelids, said nothing, and turned to leave.

It's really not that Hua Twelve is stingy or unsociable, but he thinks that Ding Mengmeng has had a neurotic attack recently, so it's best to stay away from her.

From the day Ding Mengmeng went to the wrong room, Hua Twelve felt that the relationship between the two had become strange.

During the day in the research room, Ding Mengmeng is like someone who has nothing to do, she should talk and smile, she has never found fault because of the events of that day, and it will not affect her work.

But when she returned home at night, she seemed to be a different person, and she treated him coldly, refusing to say a word.

It doesn't matter if there are only these, what makes Hua Twelve a little unbearable is that the diet at home has changed greatly.

As the funder of living expenses, Hua Twelve deserves to enjoy leisure and hand over the task of cooking to Ding Mengmeng.

And the latter was okay before, everyone was carnivores, Ding Mengmeng steak, roast chicken, seafood, made in a trick, but since she went to the wrong room that day, the previous recipe was completely gone, and what appeared on the table was a papaya set meal with different patterns.

Breakfast is basically papaya milk porridge, or pan-fried papaya balls, dinner papaya salad, and a large glass of papaya juice, which is called nutrition, weight loss.

Hua Twelve also knew at the beginning that in the matter of that day, although the fault was not him, but he really took advantage of the other party, only when Ding Mengmeng was a petty character, revenge on him in disguise, and it would be okay to wait for the other party to be angry for two days.

But this papaya has been eaten for more than half a month, until today.

Ding Mengmeng saw Hua Twelve walking away, did not clap with herself, the corners of her mouth raised, she staggered to him with her hands behind her back, and asked with a smile:

"Hey, angry?"

"Guo Xiaolu, I'm going to criticize you, you can't bring the troubles of life to work, look at me, I have suffered such a big loss, has it affected my work, has it affected the communication between colleagues!"

Hua Twelve is so angry: "Then ...... after you get off work?"

"Hey, stop, it's a personal grudge between the two of us after work, I'm talking about working hours, Guo Xiaolu, you don't distinguish between public and private, it's really not like it!"

Ding Mengmeng teased with a smile.

Hua Twelve turned around, looked directly at the girl with a wicked smile on her face, and said in a consultative tone:

"Ding Mengmeng, I want to make a small suggestion, can we change our food in the future?"

Ding Mengmeng is still very talkative during the day, raised her eyebrows, and asked with a smile: "For example?" ”

"For example, meat, steak, or whatever, I haven't eaten it for a long time, if you don't have enough money, you can take care of me, don't start with food, okay?"

Ding Mengmeng smiled even more cutely, and snapped her fingers: "OK, I'll go to the market after work and make you a steak dinner!" ”

Hua Twelve saw her agree, so he stretched out his hand and high-fived Ding Mengmeng, and then went back to work satisfied.

But he underestimated the woman's careful eye.

In the evening, Hua Twelve returned home, while recording the research data of the day, while waiting for the arrival of the steak feast, an hour later, Ding Mengmeng's cold voice sounded at the door:

"Eat!"

Hua Twelve hurriedly put down the pen, smiled and rubbed his hands and walked to the dining table, with a look of anticipation, and then he was stunned to see two yellow, 'Xiang'-like things, which were placed on a plate in front of him, exuding a not disgusting, but somewhat unpleasant smell.

He hurriedly asked, "Ding Mengmeng, what are these two pieces of stuff of yours, excrement?" ”

Ding Mengmeng pointed to a big bowl of yellow whirring things and introduced:

"Don't you want to eat meat, this bowl is papaya stewed beef brisket, I found Cantonese food in an Italian cookbook!"

Hua Twelve's head is black, let's not talk about whether this bowl of Xiang-like things can be eaten, just say what the hell is your Italian Cantonese recipe?

Ding Mengmeng coldly pointed to another plate, like a dried Xiang, and said, "Today's main dish, papaya stewed steak!" ”

Hua Twelve was completely fried: "Ding Mengmeng, you are enough, I won't talk about the weird yin and yang all day long, and now I am still working on the food, one papaya on the left, one papaya on the right, if you are not disgusting, I will vomit ......"

He said and held his chest muscles and said: "I seriously suspect that I have breast hyperplasia these days, I will go to the hospital tomorrow for examination, if it is true, I will fight with you!" ”

Ding Mengmeng rolled her eyes: "Didn't someone ask me to eat papaya to make up for it, and specially gave me money, I have a special fund!" ”

Hua Twelve was so angry: "You make up for you, you take me with a big man to make up for it, what's going on!" ”

Ding Mengmeng didn't pay attention to him, sat down and ate it by herself, and smacked her mouth, as if it was delicious.

Hua Twelve sighed: "You can do it, you don't have to cook my rice in the future, I'll take care of the meal myself!" ”

As he spoke, he picked up his coat and turned around and went out, targeting... Downstairs restaurant.

After getting downstairs, Hua Twelve ordered a paella and a glass of white wine.

Before the meal came up, the owner of the restaurant, Old Toby, came over with a glass of yellow juice: "Mr. Hua, this is the papaya juice that your girlfriend Miss Ding called to order for you!" ”

Hua XII: "......"

He didn't explain that Ding Mengmeng was not his girlfriend, the two lived together, and they were both oriental faces, and many neighbors in the neighborhood misunderstood the relationship between the two of them.

When he finished eating and settled the bill, Hua Twelve found that the amount was obviously wrong, and invited the boss to ask:

"Old Toby, we're neighbors, we live upstairs and downstairs, you can't make trouble, is this the price of paella rising, or the price of white wine? Even if you add a steak to this money, you are still rich, are you miscalculated! ”

Old Toby went back to check the accounts, then returned and said with a smile: "Mr. Hua is not mistaken, there is also the money for the cup of papaya juice that your girlfriend Miss Ding ordered for you......"

Hua Twelve was surprised: "A glass of papaya juice doesn't have so much money, right?" ”

Old Toby waved his hand again and again: "Of course not, I haven't finished yet, Miss Ding also asked for a black pepper steak and an Andalusian cold soup, and a potato omelette, and asked the waiter to send her upstairs." ”

Hua Twelve finished settling the account with a dark face, and when he returned home, he wanted to find Ding Mengmeng to ask for the guilt, but he saw the cups and plates on the dining table in a mess, and this girl went to sleep directly.

Even the curtain was closed, and a note was pasted on it, 'Do not disturb during the break'!

Hua Twelve didn't care about this, he opened the curtain directly, and then saw this girl holding the quilt and screaming:

"Playing Liu Mang, someone is going to turn into a big animal and attack the beautiful girl, Sven beast, ......"

Hua Twelve hurriedly closed the curtain again:

"You're not wearing no clothes, what are you shouting, okay..., Ding Mengmeng, don't make me anxious, if I get anxious, I'll really become an animal, and when the time comes, it's too late for you to cry!"

Ding Mengmeng was not only not afraid, but also hummed a local Czech song.

Hua Twelve's head is black, can't he hide if he can't be provoked, go back to the bedroom and close the door, and continue to record the experimental data.

As soon as he closed the door, Ding Mengmeng whispered: "Just say that you don't practice fake tricks!" ”

Another month has passed, and in this month's time, Ding Mengmeng still has the same attitude towards Hua Twelve as before.

Hua Twelve doesn't plan to take the initiative to coax the other party, although the task of the system is to let him collect Ding Mengmeng, but there is also a way to collect it, when licking the dog, it is not good, this temperament is not grinding, and he always plays a small sex when he turns around, who can stand it.

The laboratory changed its original experimental thinking and began to look for the virus that could inhibit stem cell mutation, as Professor Connie Carter said.

On this day, a woman in the laboratory called to find Hua Twelve, and when Ding Mengmeng came to call him, she looked suspicious.

Hua Twelve walked over and picked up the phone, Ding Mengmeng leaned over to eavesdrop, but he stretched out his hand and pushed it farther away, before asking, "May I ask who is looking for me?" ”

The call was from Su Lingfang, she said that she was tired of staying in China and wanted to come to Prague to see Hua Twelve, which made him feel very good, and he had been holding back for several months, could he be in a bad mood.

When he put down the phone, when Hua Twelve wanted to continue working, he was blocked by Ding Mengmeng, and he went to the left, and the girl went to the left, and he went to the right, and the girl went to the right.

Hua Twelve took a deep breath and looked at the other party: "What are you doing?" ”

The smile on Ding Mengmeng's face remained unchanged and asked, "Who?" Look at you smiling so brightly, Su Lingfang? ”

Hua Twelve stretched out his hand and pushed her aside: "It has nothing to do with you, tell you not to inquire into my personal privacy!" ”

Ding Mengmeng didn't have as much strength as him, so he was pulled away directly, and when he saw him walking over directly, he turned his head and said:

"We are roommates and colleagues, don't I care about you, if Su Lingfang is okay, you will be fine before, if you attract bees and butterflies, it is a moral issue, you must be criticized!"

The First Clan

Hua Twelve put a set of experimental materials into the refrigerated centrifuge, and then said impatiently:

"Hurry up and work, I still want to live forever, and I don't have to worry about salty radish soup!"

Ding Mengmeng pointed at him angrily: "Hey you..., you don't know good people's hearts!" ”

Another call came in the afternoon, this time it seemed to be looking for Ding Mengmeng, this girl answered the phone while glancing at Hua Twelve's side with her eyes.

When she got off work at night, Ding Mengmeng left first with her bag, and since the two had a cold war at home, Hua Twelve no longer took her broken car and chose to walk.

Hua Twelve also packed up his things and left the laboratory with Connie Carter, before parting, he asked Connie for three days off because of Su Lingfang's coming.

Connie blinked her blue eyes, and her eyes were full of smiles:

"Mengmeng also took a three-day vacation just now, okay, I know you young people need time to get along, I approved, our lab has been working hard lately, and my old bones are a little unbearable, so let's just rest for a week!"

Hua Twelve heard that Connie seemed to have misunderstood his relationship with Ding Mengmeng, and hurriedly explained: "Ding and I haven't ...... yet."

Connie waved her hand: "I know, isn't this giving you time, I wish you success, handsome young man!" ”

Early the next morning, after Hua Twelve got up, he didn't see what Ding Mengmeng was doing, got dressed and went downstairs, took a taxi and went straight to the airport.

But as soon as I arrived at the exit of the airport, I saw Ding Mengmeng standing there holding this sign, and the three big characters written on the sign were 'Wang Xiaomo'!
