Chapter 111: One Last Chance

In the early morning, a round of the sun rises from the eastern sky, spreading bright sunlight over the land. The city, which had been silent all night, gradually began to bustle with the appearance of this light.

In the midst of this hustle and bustle, Wang Zhi, a researcher at the 3022 Institute of Biology, got off the bus a little listlessly and walked to the laboratory to which he belonged.

On the way, a middle-aged man who was about the same age as himself and was also in his forties walked up to him.

The man was radiant, his face was red, and the corners of his mouth and eyebrows were full of smiles that could not be concealed.

"Good morning, Wang."

"Well, good morning, old boy."

Said hello, and the two staggered by. Glancing sideways at the radiant old boy, Wang Zhi secretly scolded in his heart: "The villain has a will!" ”

Just before, I carefully prepared a paper on the metabolism of an enzyme in mice, and in the evaluation, with a difference of 0.03 points, it was a pity that it was defeated by Lao Tong. So, when the title was promoted, the only full professor quota allocated to the 3022 Institute of Biology flew away from Wang Zhi's head and fell on Lao Tong's head.

The so-called step difference, step by step. I am in my forties this year, and this opportunity can almost be regarded as the last chance in my academic career. If he didn't grasp it this time, he could almost see his dark future.

Recalling his old wife's nagging, recalling his elderly parents, rebellious children, failed careers, and heavy mortgages, the originally bright sunshine seemed to dim in Wang Zhi's eyes.

"Xiaofeng is in his third year of high school this year, and it is a critical time, so he still has to rush. The cram school still has to be reported, otherwise, the car will not be replaced, although the car is old, it can still be driven for a period of time. ”

Thinking of the broken car that had been in the garage for five days and had not been repaired at the moment, Wang Zhi became more and more depressed.

After listlessly looking at a few lines of data, a phone call suddenly came.

"Lao Wang, come to my office."

It was a call from the director of the research institute.

Wang Zhi cheered up and came to the supervisor's office.

"Lao Wang, I know that you have been hit hard during this time. But it's okay, for now, you have one more chance. ”

"Oh?"

Wang Zhi's spirits perked up.

"That's right, I was informed by my superiors that there is a project that our institute needs to do. As for this project, the superiors attach great importance to it. For this reason, the higher authorities have specially approved a full professor rating quota. As for me, I'm going to leave it to you. ”

This time, Wang Zhi was not only mentally shocked, but even his body was shaken. It seemed that at this moment, an endless amount of energy and desire to fight was poured into his body out of thin air, making his eyes almost glow.

And this kind of good thing?

There was a special grant for a full professorship?

If I can be rated as a full professor, Lao Zhang, she still dares to nag me? Can't honestly wash my clothes, cook, and wash my feet? Still worried about the money for cram school? Isn't changing cars just a matter of a word?

The most important thing is that old boy, he still dares to show off his power in front of me?

Lao Shi, this guy, the relationship is really not in vain, you can really think of me when you have a good thing!

"Director Shi, what project do you say?"

Half an hour later, Wang Zhi left the institute with the project materials and authorization certificate in his hands and rushed to the designated research site.

Assistants from all over the world are already waiting for him there.

Frankly speaking, this project is still quite challenging for Wang Zhi.

A special compound absorbed by the air or skin can cause a strong feeling of fear through a certain biological mechanism in the human body, and can even be so strong that it can scare people to death?

What is this? Does such a thing really exist?

In this regard, Wang Zhi expressed strong doubts.

If he were to synthesize such a substance from beginning to end, he would not be able to do it anyway. This kind of thing, there is no theoretical guidance direction, how to get it?

But now, according to the information, the rest of the team has confirmed the existence of this substance through some special method, and that this substance has been produced on the body of one of the victims

worked. All you need to do is find out the substance from the specimen, which is much simpler.

Wang Zhi is full of confidence and high morale.

After coming to the research site, meeting with the assistant, and holding a meeting, a group of people immediately began to work under the guidance of Wang Zhi.

Wang Zhi's thinking is simple. Although it is said that this substance can be absorbed through the skin or lungs, and then quickly reach the brain and act on the relevant areas of the brain. But he decided to start with the circulatory system first.

The reason is simple, whether the substance is absorbed through the skin or the lungs, if it wants to reach the relevant areas of the brain quickly, it must be transported through the blood circulatory system. Because the rest of the circulatory system in the human body is not that fast.

Just like the rabies virus, which passes through the nervous system and eventually reaches the brain, it can take a few days to reach the brain from the wound. This clearly excludes the possibility of transmission of the substance through the nervous system.

If the substance remains in the body, it is most likely to remain in the bloodstream.

Of course, in reality, it cannot be ruled out that this substance will participate in some reactions in the human body, metabolize it, or react away. For this reason, it is also necessary to collect specimens from the surface of human skin and lungs, but let's do the same.

And, since the substance acts on the brain, it must be able to penetrate the blood-brain barrier. In this way, some substances with inappropriate molecular types can also be excluded in advance, which greatly reduces the target search range.

On the whole, this project is not difficult to look at. As a result, the rewards are so generous, it's really pie in the sky.

"How many skin samples have been collected? What? Only the hands and head were collected? No, the rest of the body should be collected as well. ”

Although the only exposed parts of the victim were hands and head in the environment at the time, the possibility of strong penetration of the substance cannot be ruled out, so specimens from the rest of the body are also necessary.

Wang Zhi has seen a lot of all kinds of dangerous chemicals. There are a lot of chemicals that can penetrate even with double gloves, and who can guarantee that this substance can't do it?

In just one day, more than 100 specimens were collected. Then it was time for analysis.

It's not easy to find a completely new compound. The reason is very simple, since it is brand new, then I don't know its properties, there is no corresponding, special detection means, no special reagents, dyes, etc.

Here, Wang Zhi led the adoption of the method of elimination. The principle is very simple, exclude everything that is known, and what is left is not unknown.

But......

Wang Zhi's high fighting spirit only lasted for three days before gradually dissipating.

His hair began to be unkempt, his eye sockets began to deepen, and his beard grew longer.

A series of sophisticated inspections did not find any new, eligible chemicals. No matter how much he tried and how he tried all kinds of methods, he found nothing.

"How is that possible?"

He couldn't figure it out.

If the document issued by the superior did not clearly indicate that "the rest of the team has confirmed the existence of this substance", he would have lost confidence at this moment.

You can't make a mistake with a document issued by a superior. The superior said that it had been confirmed, so it must have been confirmed. That kind of thing must exist. If you don't find it yourself, it must be that your method is wrong, or it is not comprehensive enough.

If so, another three days passed.

"Let's have a day off tomorrow."

At the meeting, Wang Zhi announced the decision in a somewhat dull manner.

Returning home a little dazed, his wife Lao Zhang saw him like this, and immediately exclaimed: "What's wrong with you, Lao Wang?" ”

"It's okay, I'll sleep for a while."

Wang Zhi replied a little irritably and went directly to the bedroom.

I slept until dark. When I woke up, I smelled the rich fragrance. When I walked out of the bedroom, I saw that there were already six or seven steaming foods on the dining table.

Pig's trotters, braised carp, sheep scorpion, fried mushrooms......

It's all what I like to eat.

In addition, there was even a bottle

Wine.

The old wife, who was always nagging in the past, looked at him with a smile: "Awake? Hungry after a day's sleep? Pack up and eat. ”

In the past, he was always rebellious and always contradicted his son, but now he looks very well-behaved: "Dad, I bought you a new toothbrush." ”

After the meal, the son took the initiative to wash the dishes, and the old wife took the initiative to bring the ashtray and cigarettes.

Wang Zhi's gloom dissipated in his heart, and his heart was open.

After going out for a walk after dinner, the old wife even began to comfort herself: "Lao Wang, don't be so tired from work, a full professor, just evaluate, it's nothing, our family is not short of food or clothing, or the body is important." ”

Wang Zhi was slightly moved. But in his heart, the desire and determination to complete this project has become even stronger.

Gotta find that thing, gotta get hold of the full professor!

After a day of rest, Wang Zhi was in high spirits and returned to the research room again.

This time, he put more energy and showed a more cautious attitude. From the very beginning, he began to think about the possibility of omissions step by step, debugging little by little, and experimenting one by one.

On this day, he was busy until late at night.

Another batch of specimens was stained and placed in a spectrum analyzer for analysis.

One specimen after another that met the criteria and had no further verifying value was abandoned by him. Seeing that this batch of specimens was about to be analyzed again, today would be another futile day, but at this time, when there were few specimens left, the spectral analysis data of a specimen caught his attention.

"Potassium absorption line? It seems that there should be no potassium in this specimen......"
