Originally, Zhang Chen didn't plan to show up.

But this time, Mr. Bei came, and he had to appear.

At this press conference, with Mr. Bei supporting the field, the publicity effect will definitely be different.

What is certain is that today's Morning Moon Creature will occupy several hot search headlines.

The last time it was on the hot search, it was because of a bet on publishing the journal "Nature".

Zhang Chen sent Pei Yuanxun and other bigwigs to the seats reserved for them, and then turned back to the door of the hotel.

After receiving Academician Li Bozhan, Zhang Chen didn't care about anything else.

He accompanied Li Lao to the venue.

Sit with the bigwigs and chat with each other.

It is worth mentioning that this time, Li Bozhan took the initiative to ask to help Chenyue Biology introduce Hefeng series of food crops on the spot.

Zhang Chen didn't think about it at the time, and immediately agreed.

Are you kidding.

A dignified national academician, to give you a product introduction, still hesitate?

Coupled with the influence of Hefeng series products themselves, it is estimated that this will be another hot search.

However, Zhang Chen didn't have much burden in his heart, this could be regarded as the first favor that Li Bozhan did to the research base.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chen opened his mouth and said: "Old Li, the company's AI pharmaceutical software is estimated to be completed in a few days, and the project of the molecular farm can be officially approved by then." ”

The implication of his words was to ask Li Bozhan when he would come to the base to guide the work.

"You're really fast, then I'll go to your research base in a few days to help."

Li Bozhan naturally heard what Zhang Chen meant, but he also had some doubts in his heart.

So, he asked, "Have you figured out where to start?" My suggestion is to make some modifications to the existing Hefeng series of food crops, in case they can be adapted, there is no need to bother to find other fruits and other plants, and the target needs to be determined as soon as possible. ”

Hearing Li Bozhan say this, a bold idea suddenly popped up in Zhang Chen's heart.

In other words, can we integrate [Jiahe Factor], a transcription factor that can prolong life, into Hefeng series of food crops?

In this way, the world's first product that can extend its life can be grown directly from the ground.

This is undoubtedly another gimmick.

Moreover, the production of life-extending products in this way can reduce the cost to a very low level.

And there is no need to worry about environmental pollution in the production process, and the production safety is improved linearly.

Low costs and high production security are the biggest advantages of molecular farms.

"Mr. Li, I just plan to do a transformation on the basis of Hefeng series products, starting with soybeans, you are most familiar with this piece."

Zhang Chen pondered for a while, still planning to say his thoughts directly and see what suggestions everyone had.

He said: "In addition, I also want to integrate the recently discovered life extension factors into the Hefeng series of food crops, but I don't know if it will be successful, and a lot of experimental verification is needed." ”

Zhang Chen's words immediately attracted the attention of all the bigwigs.

Combining life extension products with food crops?

What a genius idea!

It's really worthy of being able to produce so many high-tech talents.

The first thing that comes to mind is that it is not a conventional protein drug.

Academician Xie Hong was more anxious, and the first one couldn't help it.

He asked, "How's universality?" The difference between plants and the human body is even greater than the difference between experimental animals and the human body. ”

Zhang Chen nodded slightly.

Mr. Xie is worthy of being an old pedant who has been engaged in plant research for many years, and the questions he raised hit the nail on the head.

This problem is the biggest challenge encountered by molecular farms.

The expression system of plants is completely different from that of animals and humans.

Even the insect expression systems that produce adeno-associated viruses have been optimized for decades to get to where they are today.

If you switch to the expression system of plants, the difference is even greater.

Zhang Chen thought for a while and said: "I can't completely guarantee it, I can only say that I tried it one by one, so I developed an artificial intelligence drug-aided design software in advance, as long as this software can be made, it can save a lot of time." ”

Fortunately, I made a very wise choice and poached Sun Tao and his team to the company in advance.

Xie Hong nodded slightly, fell into deep thought, and didn't say anything more.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Pei Yuanxun asked a few questions that he was more concerned about.

"It's a good idea, and it's been expanding into this field for more than 20 years.

However, in addition to the universality that Lao Xie just said, there are still many problems that have not been completely solved.

For example, if the life-prolonging transcription factor you mentioned can be integrated into food crops, how can you ensure that it can be delivered exactly where the body is designated?

And how do you make sure that it won't be broken down by the digestive system of the gastrointestinal tract?

In addition, how can we ensure that it will not have an impact on the stability of the original food crop land?

The last question, since this product can be eaten casually like ordinary food crops, how can its dosage be strictly regulated?

These are very common problems, but as far as I know, no effective solutions have been found. ”

Pei Yuanxun threw out all the doubts in his heart in one go.

In his life, he has been involved in many fields, and he has had some understanding of molecular farms before.

So there have been some considerations about these issues.

However, I usually have a lot of projects.

And now that he is older, his physical condition does not allow him to worry too much about too many topics.

Since he can't do research, but these cutting-edge scientific research, Pei Yuanxun is still often paying attention to it.

"Pei Lao, these problems you mentioned are quite critical, it took me a long time to solve these problems, here are some information, I can send it to you to see.

Now the only thing left is the question of universality, and I am not sure which plant is the best fit for that life-extending transcription factor. ”

In fact, these problems mentioned by Pei Yuanxun belong to the basic problems in the molecular farm.

Zhang Chen had deliberately simulated the relevant information before, and there was a ready-made one in the system now.

And the simulation price to get this information is not expensive.

These basic problems must be solved before we can decide to engage in molecular farms.

Zhang Chen pulled Li Bozhan into the WeChat group that he had set up before.

casually sent the relevant information that had been stored on the mobile phone to the group.

Zhang Chen glanced at the time, and there was still half an hour before the new product launch conference.

It didn't bother them to read the information.

Ten minutes later, Xu Zeming looked up.

He read quickly, with a lot of details, and didn't study them carefully.

The current environment is noisy, and it is not suitable for thinking deeply about certain issues.

But even that didn't prevent him from asking the issues he was most concerned about.

"Xiao Zhang, how long will it take for this molecular farm product of yours to produce results?"
