Chapter 146: Scientific Research Bench
This set of board houses has four major sections horizontally and three small cabins vertically.
From a distance, it looks like an air station.
On the most marginal compartment there is a small window.
The glass of the window, foggy, is a translucent ground glass.
At this time, looking outside, I vaguely saw a long-haired figure, apparently a woman.
That's Duan Jingzhi!
This is Chongning's first feeling.
The woman in the submarine tomb, except for Duan Jingzhi, is only that Alice.
Alice's hair, on the other hand, is short.
At this moment, Chongning could determine that it was Duan Jingzhi in that cabin.
Duan Jingzhi, Xuan Zhen and Sun Yi should be imprisoned over there.
After Chongning waited for Bruce Lee to enter, he quietly sneaked into the dark side of the capsule from one side.
This side of the position is just blocked from the view ahead.
Bochen, who is guarded at the gate, belongs to the blind spot of surveillance.
Chongning tiptoed to the bottom of the window.
The rooms here are all prefabricated houses, simple rooms that can be built quickly.
Therefore, between the various steel plates, it is not tightly seamless.
Like here, there is a big gap next to the window.
Chongning leaned on the board and peeked inside.
Ah, not Duan Jingzhi.
The woman inside is not Duan Jingzhi.
Rather, it was a woman in white with long flowing hair.
This woman, not Chinese, is a blonde and blue-eyed foreign girl.
She was dressed in an off-white overalls, wearing a mask, and was fiddling with some test tubes.
Only then did Chongning see clearly that in the cabin, there were all kinds of instruments and equipment, as well as various displays.
On the tabletop, there is also a large workbench with alcohol lamps, microscopes, and so on.
If he hadn't seen it at the bottom of the sea, he would have thought it was the research office of a university professor.
Next to the woman, there was a fat man with a beard on his face.
He had the same uniforms, but a little scruffier.
The buttons of his clothes are all open, he is not wearing a mask, and his hair is like a chicken's nest, and he looks like the boss of this scientific research room.
"How about this time? Is there any progress? ”
The inner door of the cabin opened, and Zeng Qianfan walked in.
The bearded man threw over a bunch of materials and said, "Six samples, the concentration continues to increase, and the effect is not ideal." ”
Zeng Qianfan's expression was ugly, "I invited you at a sky-high price because I took a fancy to your Dr. Gu Weisi's scientific research strength." ”
"It's been three months, and you're going to give me a conclusion that the effect is not satisfactory, to perfunctory me?"
Obviously, he was extremely angry, and his whole body was trembling incessantly.
The woman next to her said: "Zeng, scientific research is not fast. ”
"It is not uncommon for a brand new project to go from project approval to R&D until maturity, not to mention three months, even three years!"
Zeng Qianfan directly threw the information in his hand on the ground.
"I don't have that much time, a month at most, otherwise you don't want to go back!"
Gu Weisi's eyes sank, "Are you threatening me?" Still want to kill me? ”
Inside the cabin, the air pressure was low.
Gu Weisi is an overseas bigwig in the scientific research community, and his accident will definitely be international news.
Moreover, his energy is also very large, which is not something that ordinary people can shake.
So far, Zeng Qianfan does not have that strength.
Zeng Qianfan smiled gloomily, "Oxford tenured professor, Holrow's chief scientist, is engaged in illegal gene editing. ”
"What will be the impact of this news being released?"
Gu Weisi's eyes flickered, first flashing a trace of jealousy, and then gradually turning into a low one.
Gene editing, also known as genome engineering, is a technique that precisely modifies an organism's target genes.
To put it simply, if the technology matures, it will be a sea change.
It can modify the genome at will, which means that many incurable diseases can be treated.
For example, cancer, leukemia, Alzheimer's disease, etc.
Many genetic diseases can be easily repaired.
Even, it is possible to edit the perfect baby, a child without any genetic defects.
Because of this, there are many issues involved, especially in terms of ethics and social morality.
Gene editing will cause inequality in human society.
If it is released, then whether the child's genes are good or not does not necessarily depend on the genes of the parents, and is directly linked to the right to money.
Whoever has more power, who has a high status, who has more money, whose children will be better.
The general public will be completely vulnerable.
Furthermore, gene editing technology is uncontrollable.
The current technology is still in its infancy.
The genome of the human body is extremely complex, and it affects the whole body.
Feel free to edit and unpredictable variations may occur.
Gene editing is a Pandora's box.
The subsequent effects are unknown, and will even affect the entire human gene pool and future generations.
Therefore, various countries are extremely restricted, and illegal gene editing in China is clearly in the criminal law.
Zeng Qianfan swung a storage disk in his hand and said with a sneer: "The data here, if it is transmitted to the forum. ”
"Guess you're going to be ruined, or you're going to go to jail?"
The woman next to her was anxious and said, "Zeng, despicable and shameless!" We have an agreement! Do you dare to let it out, are you not afraid of lawsuits? ”
Zeng Qianfan smiled, "Do you count the contract with the devil?" ”
The woman's face was full of anger and theory.
Gu Weisi grabbed her shoulder, "Forget Yama." ”
Zeng Qianfan was also afraid of annoying him, so he smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry, time waits for no one." ”
"That old man is waiting for medicine to save his life."
"Besides, don't lie it to me. This technology, which you have been working on in secret, is already very mature. ”
"All you need is a high concentration of samples, and you can do it preliminarily."
As he spoke, he stared at Gu Weisi's eyes tightly.
Gu Weisi's face was expressionless, but a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
Obviously, Zeng Qianfan was right, and they had been secretly researching this technology.
Zeng Qianfan hit a stick to give a jujube to eat, "My requirements are not high, and it will be developed within a month." ”
"When the time comes, the promised money will be fully credited to your foundation."
His eyes flashed, and he said, "How's it going?" ”
Gu Weisi stood on the scientific research desk, his expression gloomy and changed.
Yama, who was next to her, also stood dumbfounded.
Throughout the cabin, the atmosphere became quiet.
After about three minutes, Gu Weisi said, "However, we need a purer serum. ”
"The previous ones were too weak, and no matter how pure they were, they won't help."
Zeng Qianfan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, it's going to be soon." In the last two days, I will definitely bring you the purest plasma! ”
Gu Weisi replied and said, "Okay, as long as you bring pure plasma, I can guarantee the latest results within a month." ”
