I just want to be a quiet scholar

Chapter 695 Mystery succumbs to a higher mystery
In the laboratory of resurrecting extinct creatures, Shen Qi and the others saw the cloned resurrection cells of mammoths, saber-toothed tigers, and dodos.

According to Dean Li, they extracted genetic material from the remains of extinct species, and then injected them into the egg cells of existing close relatives, hoping to revive these extinct species.

Scientists' research on the resurrection of extinct species began as early as the first few years of the 21st century, which is nothing new academically.

Shen Qi has always been vigilant and even pessimistic about the deterioration of the ecological environment: "In more than ten years, the Siberian tiger, South China tiger, and Bengal tiger may all become extinct. .”

Dean Li's point of view is: "Even if it is a drop in the bucket compensation, it is better than continuing to hurt, isn't it?"

"That's true, it depends on how far you can be resurrected."

Everyone moved to the microbiology room, which is more like a small factory, perhaps it should be renamed the microbiology factory.

Rows of thick metal tanks are used for fermentation and reaction, normal pressure and high vacuum distillation equipment, centrifuges, filter presses, gas phase reactors, liquid phase catalysts, ion exchange columns and other equipment are buzzing.

Dean Li's team is mass-producing microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses.

Dean Li pulled his mask: "Our ancestors lived in the wild. At that time, there were no masks or any protective clothing. Our ancestors exchanged a large number of bacteria with nature and lived in harmony with microorganisms. Of course, with the advancement of technology , humans are living longer and longer, but humans are also becoming more vulnerable. It is becoming more and more difficult for us to carry out natural bacterial exchange with the outside world, so the human immune system cannot resist the invasion of even small germs."

"So what is your countermeasure?" Shen Qi asked.

Dean Li's eyes sparkled: "Let mankind return to the pastoral age...I mean the way of life, and human technology must continue to develop."

"This giant virus is also part of your plan to return to the pastoral era? Is this a man-made virus or a natural virus?" Shen Qi's eyes locked on a virus that had been magnified many times on the screen.

The data show that this giant virus has 4200 genes, while the influenza A virus that spreads widely has only 8 genes.

"This virus was discovered under the ice in Greenland. It is actually a microorganism 1 years ago, which was resurrected in our laboratory." Dean Li only explained the source of the giant virus, but did not explain its purpose. Presumably This is the core secret of their company.

Shen Qi and the others were not very surprised. After all, the world's top biological laboratories more or less kept some viruses, some of which were fatal to humans.For example, the Canadian National Biological Laboratory, where Han Meng once stayed, kept the extremely dangerous Ebola virus.

Under the leadership of Dean Li, Shen Qi got his wish and visited the places he wanted to go below the 7th floor.

In fact, it's just a waste of time. It's impossible to go through every laboratory carefully in one day.

Although it is just a quick look, Shen Qi also deeply understands that Huahan Gene's scientific research scale and scientific research strength are very strong.

There is a boss and five biological dogs in the biological laboratory of Shen Qi Research Center. Their biological strength is not at the same level as Huahan Gene.

It is just the experimental area below the seventh floor of this building. Judging from the type, scale, and degree of research projects they do every day, the annual research funding invested is astronomical.

And this building is eleven stories high, who knows if they have a basement?
In addition to the research headquarters in the capital, Huahan Gene also has East China and South China branches in Shanghai and Pengcheng.

Shen Qi can imagine that in his lifetime, it is impossible for his Yanda laboratory to surpass Huahan Gene.

From a higher level point of view, this is actually a good thing.

All scientific research projects are undertaken by national universities or national scientific research institutions, and academic thinking is easy to solidify, which is not conducive to continuous innovation.

Non-governmental scientific research institutions recruit global talents with high salaries. Under the premise of sufficient working capital, they do not need to apply for project funding from the government, and do not need to make lengthy opening and closing reports.When to start the question and when to end it, their boss has the final say.

This also makes the scientific research process of private scientific research institutions more simplified and more efficient.

However, the highly independent scientific research power also has some hidden dangers. If Shen Qi hadn't conducted field investigations and witnessed it with his own eyes, who would have known what experimental research Dean Li and the others were doing?
At the same time, it is undeniable that a highly independent and free scientific research environment with endless research funding is the dream of every scientific research worker.

Dean Li's reception of Shen Qi and others was beyond the norm.

Shen Qi and the others did not pay a deposit, but visited so many core laboratories.

Even customers who have paid in full upfront have had difficulty gaining access to such a wide range of experimental areas.

Dean Li gave most of Shen Qi's questions objectively and accurately.

For a few questions, Dean Li was noncommittal and ambiguous. The content of these questions should be the top secret of their company.

All in all, Shen Qi was very satisfied with Dean Li's hospitality.

"Thank you, Dean Li. You are also welcome to come to my site for a visit and exchange, and give me a chance to be the host." Shen Qi said this with a guilty conscience. You also have to find Huahan Gene to buy it.

Dean Li is really going to Shen Qi's biological laboratory, what can Shen Qi do for Dean Li to visit and study?
Drink a cup of tea, blow some water, talk about the core values ​​of socialism, talk about avant-garde art, and comment on the lives of Goethe and Nietzsche. This is probably the only way to arrange it.

"There is an opportunity, there is an opportunity. We are very much looking forward to seeking cooperation with Academician Shen's team and Yanda in various aspects." Dean Li said sincerely, with a sincerity index of over 99%.

"Then keep in touch, we will meet later." Shen Qi exchanged business cards with Dean Li.

Dean Li sent Shen Qi and the others downstairs, and when they passed by the small DNA hall on the first floor, Shen Qi listened to the voice of Dean Li's boss again: "...I will always watch you, watching you be as hot and unrestrained as a flame imagination, dissipate ignorance and stubbornness, and create a new era..."

"Your fiery and unrestrained imagination, like a flame, silently becomes an image, a metaphor."--The original author of this poem is Goethe, and it was written a year before Goethe's death, that is, the complete version of "Faust" that year.

Dean Li's eldest brother had obviously read Goethe's works and adapted them.

Huahan Gene seems to hide some secrets inside. They are a listed company, and they disclose their financial statements, but they will not disclose certain secrets.

In fact, there are such things as secrets in everyone.

How many women does Lao Wang have?
The secret has never been revealed, and the truth may never be revealed.

Mysteries are subordinated to higher mysteries.

Just do your own thing and you'll be fine.
