I Just Want to Be a Quiet Top Student

"Dean Li, is that the XT80?" Han Meng is most concerned about the XT80, after all, this gene editing instrument will be used on him.

Dean Li nodded: "Yes, next, our researcher will demonstrate the operation method of XT80 to you."

In fact, the researchers are already operating the XT80 for experiments, and they are doing experiments every day.

The experimental sample is a human embryo cultivated in vitro, which comes from a human embryo storage room and is a member of Dean Li's million-strong army.

The sample is on day 13 of its life cycle, so "it" is used here to describe this sample.

When the sample developed to the 14th day, according to the regulations of international organizations, the third person should be changed to "he" or "she".

The 14-day principle means that in principle, various biological experiments can only be performed on human embryos within 14 days.

International organizations believe that when a fertilized egg develops to the 14th day, it is a mature person in a moral sense.

"It" developed to the 13th day is very small, a sac-shaped object with a maximum diameter of a few millimeters, "it" is filled with fluid, and the ectoderm of "it" will develop into the epidermis, nails, hair, teeth, sense organs and nervous system , the endoderm develops into the digestive system, liver, pancreas, salivary glands, and respiratory system, and the mesoderm becomes the dermis, muscles, tendons, circulatory system, and excretory system.

"This sample has an extra chromosome 21." Dean Li explained simultaneously, succinctly, accurately, and cut to the point in one sentence.

"Oh." Han Meng carefully observed the experiment process, and the details of the experiment were displayed on the computer screen connected to the XT80.

Humans have two sets of 46 chromosomes, and it is obviously abnormal for a sample to have an extra chromosome.

60% of the fertilized eggs with an extra chromosome 21 will be aborted in the mother's body after a few months of development. Survivors are different from normal people in terms of IQ, appearance, and body shape, which is called Down Syndrome in medicine. Syndrome or congenital stupidity.

An unknown researcher operates an XT80 microrobot to control a microneedle to perform gene editing on a sample.

Chromosomes are genetic material, and each single group of chromosomes contains all the information codes.

Gene is the carrier of genetic material, and the codes related to all the development of organisms are exquisitely packaged in such a small material particle as a fertilized egg, which is a miracle in itself.

Different from gene sequencing and text reading/translation operations, XT80 is almost entirely controlled manually by researchers, and its operation details are extremely complicated.

After a complex operation at the molecular level, the researchers re-edited the genetic material in the sample, eliminated the defective gene in the sample, and injected the normal gene into the sample.

The sample received gene therapy at the fertilized egg stage, and it said goodbye to Down syndrome.

"The operation of the XT80 is troublesome, but the effect is very good." Han Meng commented.

Dean Li said: "The second-generation XT80 will be greatly optimized. Gene editing will be as simple as playing games on a mobile phone. In about two years, the second-generation XT80 will be officially launched. If you can't wait two years 2009, then this generation of XT80 should be able to meet your current needs. The operation of this generation of XT80 is indeed a bit cumbersome, but it doesn’t matter. Our product engineers are on call to ensure that you learn how to operate XT80. After all You are all excellent talents with high IQ, and you must learn new things quickly."

"Yes, Dean Li, in the field of biology, you are more professional than us. The six of us also have the attitude of learning this time, and come to you to learn advanced experience and technology." Shen Qi said humbly. In fact, he is satisfied with XT80.

Although Shen Qi and the others were intended customers, they didn't even pay Huahan Gene a dime deposit.

Under normal circumstances, customers who have not paid a deposit are not allowed to come to this laboratory full of core technologies.

Shen Qi still has a bit of a reputation, and Hua Han Gene is full of sincerity in his reception.

Shen Qi asked: "Dean Li, after the 13-day sample has finished this gene editing experiment, what are you going to do next?"

Dean Li replied: "Save the experimental data and dispose of the samples."

Shen Qi felt that Dean Li was not telling the truth: "Really deal with it?"

"The 14-day principle hangs above our heads, of course we have to deal with it." Dean Li pointed to the air above, where the sword of Damocles seemed to hang.

"But your boss's spiritual instructions seem to ignore those principles."

"Hehe." Dean Li smiled noncommittally, and asked back, "Then Academician Shen, what's your attitude towards those principles?"

Shen Qi thought for a while and said: "Let our ignorance and stubbornness dissipate with our fiery and unrestrained imagination."

"Hahaha!" Dean Li laughed loudly, subconsciously put the index finger and middle finger of his right hand together and pressed them against the navel.

Several researchers in the laboratory also made similar actions.

Dean Li and the unnamed researchers made small gestures of courtesy and ritual, which Shen Qi noticed. He said yearningly: "I'm getting more and more interested, and I'm meeting your boss."

"There is a chance, there is a chance." Dean Li became more and more enthusiastic, and he said again: "Will you continue to investigate the operation of XT80, or go to other places to have a look?"

Shen Qi asked: "Can we enter any part of this building?"

"Below the seventh floor, you can visit casually. Above the seventh floor, I'm afraid you have to stay."

Is it so open? Shen Qi felt that domestic brands should be taken care of both public and private. If he and his team went to ART’s German headquarters, they might not enjoy such an open treatment. He said: “The operation of XT80, we have a more intuitive We will ask your product engineers to give us several more trainings on hardware and software operations. If Dean Li is free, we would like to follow you to visit the human embryo cryopreservation room, molecular dynamics laboratory, isolated organs Storage room, night-time radiation spawning room, neural research center, resurrection of extinct organisms research room, and microbiology room. I just saw the structure diagram of your research building on the first floor. The places I mentioned are all below the seventh floor. "

"Academician Shen's memory is amazing." Dean Li marveled at Shen Qi's super strong memory. Talk about very mysterious laboratories and storage rooms.

"The stock of Huahan Gene has hit the daily limit several times in a row. It seems that I have to buy some Huahan Gene." On the way to the resurrection and extinction biology research room, Shen Qi learned that Huahan Gene's performance in the stock market has been bullish recently. Soaring to the sky, rushing to have no friends.

Dean Li mysteriously provided inside information: "Then buy it quickly, Huahan Gene will continue to rise."
