Afterwards.

At around 10 a.m., Fang Hong logged on to his personal Weibo account K3478 and sent a letter back to the two teams.

In his reply, Fang Hong expressed his interest in their research and suggested that the two sides could learn more about their research through remote video communication.

In less than an hour, the two project teams wrote back again, and they were very surprised.

Originally, I didn't have any hope, because the time to deliver the materials to Fang Hongfa was a few months ago, and now they are already planning to put the project on hold or even kill it directly.

I didn't expect the news to come today, and the two teams replied as soon as they received the news.

At around 11:40 p.m., Fang Hong and the two teams exchanged a short private message again, agreeing to start a video conference tomorrow, the project of the Zhejiang University team was agreed to be carried out in the morning, and the project of the Huada team was scheduled to be launched in the afternoon.

Confirming the exact timing of the video conference, both teams put down their research today to prepare for tomorrow's video conference, which is the point, the last chance for the project not to be put on hold.

If you can't get financial support from Fang Hong tomorrow, it won't make much sense.

……

The next day, weekend morning.

In the study room on the second floor of the Meditation Villa, Fang Hong was sitting at the computer desk, and it was already around 10:50 in the morning, and he was making a video connection with the people on the team of Zhejiang University.

After operating for a while, Fang Hong moved the camera, looked at the screen to confirm that there was nothing wrong with the camera on his side, and then jumped the main screen to the other party's connection window, and his own picture was reduced to a corner.

After a while, the video connection was successfully established.

Fang Hong saw the picture from the camera opposite, a man over fifty years old was sitting in front of the picture, and three young people stood behind him, he asked the young man next to him: "Is the connection successful?" ”

A young man behind him responded, "Yes, Professor Zhu." ”

Fang Hong didn't speak, looking at the man with eyes in the picture, and hearing the young man next to him call him "professor", he should be the leader of this project, it is estimated that these young people should be his students or project team members, the key is his hairstyle, the hairline is the hairstyle of a strong man at a glance.

However, the professor does not seem to be familiar with the function of online video conferencing.

After a while, Fang Hong saw the young man next to him looking at the camera and said, "Hello, Mr. Fang, can you hear me?" ”

Yesterday's contact had already been briefly introduced, and the name was also revealed to the other party, Fang Hong nodded and replied simply: "I can hear it, good morning!" ”

After a while, the young man responded: "Good morning, Mr. Fang, let me introduce to you, this is Professor Zhu Yingdong, the initiator and person in charge of our project, my name is Lu Guangqi, and we are Professor Zhu's graduate students." ”

Several people on the opposite side, including Zhu Yingdong, were very shocked when they saw the real face of the K3478 blogger for the first time, although they knew that he was a young man and had just graduated this year, they were still very shocked when they saw the real person.

Especially Zhu Yingdong, his heart is actually quite complicated.

After all, the person on the other side of the video is younger than the graduate students of the team he led, and he is actually reluctant to talk, especially when the opposite side is a posterity, who is somewhat unable to erase his face psychologically, and is no different from a child in his eyes, more or less unpleasant, but there is no way to advance the project.

After Lu Guangqi gave a brief introduction, Fang Hong smiled unhurriedly: "Hello, Professor Zhu." ”

On the other side of the video screen, Lu Guangqi was not talking, and Zhu Yingdong also said hello briefly.

After a few simple greetings, Fang Hong went straight to the point and said: "I have roughly read your subject materials, implanting photosynthesis into animal cells, I have to say that your research is very bold and full of imagination, there is not much description in the materials, I want to hear your specific research." ”

Fang Hong's tone and demeanor made Lu Guangqi and the others on the other side of the video feel surprised in their hearts, because the calmness of his speech and demeanor seemed incompatible with his age.

Maybe it's the confidence brought by being worth tens of billions, this is the answer they gave after they were surprised.

Professor Zhu Yingdong also went straight to the topic and said: "Our research team implanted thylakoids involved in photosynthesis in vegetables into the cells of aging mammals, rebuilt the energy metabolism balance in the cells, and rejuvenated the senescent cells in a short period of time. ”

Fang Hong nodded and didn't speak.

Zhu Yingdong lifted the frame, he was worried that Fang Hong didn't know much, so he said with a little basic knowledge: "The human body is composed of all kinds of cells, once there is a problem with the anabolism in the cell, the cell will be difficult to function normally and begin to turn to aging, if we can restore the functional system of the cell, there is a chance to reverse the aging problem of damaged cells." ”

Fang Hongyan was concise: "This is the starting point of your research? ”

Zhu Yingdong nodded and said, "That's right, so you need to find a suitable and normal energy production line." Plant photosynthesis, which has evolved for billions of years in nature, has entered our field of vision, and the endomembrane system of chloroplasts, that is, thylakoids, is a powerful energy factory, we only need to extract it and put it into mammalian cells, and borrow a little light to enhance the anabolism of animal cells. ”

Fang Hong, who was in front of the computer, put his hand on the table, held his chin behind his hand and looked at the screen and said, "I'm not an expert in the field of biology, but I know a little bit of common sense, the immune system of animals should recognize thylakoids as exogenous substances and clean them up, right?" This is also known as rejection. ”

Zhu Yingdong said methodically: "The idea adopted in our research is indeed a bit unbounded, and a very critical question is how to make plant cells survive in such an extreme environment. ”

Fang Hong nodded and said, "This is also what I'm curious about. ”

Zhu Yingdong said: "Our idea is to wrap the plant's thylakoids with the animal's own cell membrane and use this layer of camouflage to blend into the inside of the cell. ”

Fang Hong was surprised: "It's a little interesting." ”

Zhu Yingdong said: "The specific operation method is to use the cell membrane nano-coating technology, we have carried out some experiments, the thylakoids are injected into the cartilage damage of mice, these artificial organelles will quickly pass through the cell membrane, and can be evenly distributed in the cartilage in 24 hours, and then use light to wake up the thylakoids." ”

Fang Hong nodded and didn't speak.

After a while, Zhu Yingdong in the video said: "The experimental results show that the anabolic level of thylakoids stimulated by light has increased significantly, the arthritis of mice has also been significantly improved, and the chondrocytes are equivalent to returning from 60 years old to 20 years old in humans......

As time passed, Zhu Yingdong gradually ignored that the person opposite him was a young man, and he gradually began to draw a big pie with a high spirit: "This technology not only has good clinical potential in the medical field, but also has the opportunity to be widely used in the fields of energy and materials, and may allow us to find a new strategy for treating human diseases from the billion-year-old plant survival mechanism......

Time flies, and the video exchange between the two sides has passed fifty minutes unconsciously, and Fang Hong has further learned about the progress of their project. At this time, the walnut girl came to the study and said in a soft and cute voice: "Brother Hong~, lunch is ready, let's go down to eat first and then get busy." ”

On the other side of the video exchange, Lu Guangqi and the others also saw the walnut girl appear in the camera through the video screen, and also heard her voice, everyone was stunned for a while, mainly because the walnut girl's maid outfit was something they didn't expect.

"Got it." Fang Hong glanced back at the walnut girl, and said, "I'll come down in a while." ”

"Hmm~, then you hurry up~" The walnut girl nodded coquettishly, and then left the room, Fang Hong looked at the camera again and looked at Lu Guangqi They said calmly: "This scientific research project of yours wants to be transformed into results and commercialized, to be honest, it is ......far away."

At this time, Lu Guangqi and the others also reacted, and when they heard Fang Hong's words, they also sighed in their hearts, there was really no hope!

They were speechless to refute Fang Hong's words, it is indeed not an overnight thing to transform scientific research into application results and commercialize, and even whether it can be realized, they cannot guarantee it.

After a while, Fang Hong's words changed abruptly and said, "However, I want to invest a sum of money in this scientific research project to try it." ”

Well?

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and after confirming that they had heard correctly, Lu Guangqi's eyes lit up instantly, and the emotions in their hearts gradually became excited.

Zhu Yingdong hurriedly said, "Mr. Fang, do you really plan to support our research?" ”
