From small clinic to medical empire

Chapter 269 Unexpected Discovery

It has to be said that even with the strongest pupil technique [Deconstruction-Reconstruction Eye], it is still difficult to unlock the so-called primate gene lock.

After another failure, Zhang Zifan walked out of the laboratory depressed.

Today's experiments proved nothing but that the so-called "gene lock" is actually a phenomenon of primate cell division, especially the abnormal instability of germ cells after meiosis.

For a whole month, research on this project has been stalled and unable to advance.

Zhang Zifan raised his head and looked at the sky, and there was actually a little bit of starlight, and the sky was already white.

Such a scenery, if you enjoy the sunrise with the girls, it is very artistic.

But now under the intertwined night sky and dawn, there is only Campbell, a middle-aged uncle, by his side.

"Master Dean, please go back to rest early, the car is ready." Another uncle, Lao Fang, came out of the night.

He once joked that he wanted to let Schumacher Jr. drive Zhang Zifan, but now he did half of it. The driver was not Schumacher Jr., but Schumacher himself.

According to Wang Bin's test, Schumacher's organic damage has fully recovered.

At present, the treatment has entered the third stage, guiding patients to return to normal life.

In addition to getting along with his family, for Schumacher, the most "normal" life is to be with the car.

Muscle memory is powerful.

Even if they are extremely shrunken.

After considering various factors, Zhang Zifan decided to start with driving and guide Schumacher to gradually return to normal life.

But Zhang Zifan didn't plan to just go back to sleep today. He shook his head and said: "Lao Shu finally got his driver's license, let him rest for a few more days. And you too, don't stay up late all the time at your age, go back and have a rest."

After waving away the elusive butler Lao Fang, Campbell couldn't help complaining: "Dean, don't you know that I am also an elderly man in his 50s?"

“Isn’t staying up late doing experiments an innate skill of a scientist?”

Zhang Zifan said nonchalantly, "You don't even have the awareness of liver explosion, hair loss, and sudden death. What kind of scientist are you?"

Campbell opened his mouth, not knowing how to refute.

"Old Kan, you don't look anxious at all?"

Zhang Zifan asked, "Our experiment has failed more than 50 times in a row on the preservation of telomerase activity!"

"What's the point? Isn't experimenting a process of repeated failures?"

Campbell also took it for granted, "When I cultivated Dolly's embryos, I used more than 9000 egg cells from ewes.

Shinya Yamanaka, who developed pluripotent stem cell technology, also spent a decade advancing through setbacks.

Dean, when you developed the technology of inducing neuron redifferentiation, you must have succeeded after several years of planning and experimentation, and after countless failures, right? "

Looking at Campbell's expression of "I know you are a hardworking student, don't lie to me that you never read books after you get home", Zhang Zifan fell silent.

Years of planning = bored analysis of a slow-footed animal while shitting, and then a sudden whim;
Years of experimentation = fooling around in the lab for a week straight after surgery;

Numerous failures = success once, improvement twice, clinical feasibility three times...

If all these cruel realities were told to Campbell, I wonder if it would destroy his faith in scientific research that he had finally regained.

But no matter how smooth the wind is, that is all about the last experiment.

The bold attempt to induce meiosis in human somatic cells is more than a little bit higher in technical difficulty than inducing neuron differentiation.

For a whole month, Zhang Zifan and Campbell tried various plans, but they still couldn't find a breakthrough direction.

Sighing, Zhang Zifan patted Lao Kan on the shoulder and said, "Go back and rest, don't forget to memorize ten more Chinese words before going to bed, oh no, ten commonly used Chinese characters."

Campbell, who originally had a calm smile on his face, immediately put on an expression as if he was mourning for his heir when he heard "Chinese" and "Hanzi".

Zhang Zifan nodded in satisfaction, and watched him leave in a daze.

Compared with a month ago, Campbell can already greet colleagues in the laboratory in Chinese.

But this is far from enough.

Zhang Zifan decided to put more pressure on him.

Ten Chinese characters per day, one ancient poem per week, and one tongue twister per month.

Let the world feel the pain!My Chinese characters!

Zhang Moumou, who missed out on Qingbei because of his English score of 128 in the college entrance examination, had a malicious smile on his face.

……

Summer mornings come early.

So even though it was already dawn, it was only a little over 4 o'clock.

Even the fat aunt who was the first to go to work has not yet arrived.

But Zhang Zifan couldn't help it.

After using the access control card with the highest authority to enter the back kitchen of the cafeteria, Zhang Zifan made himself two poached eggs, heated up a portion of potato cakes, put them in an insulated box and took them back to the office.

After entering the door and turning on the light, Zhang Zifan was stunned.

Because on the wall of the office, two huge pennants suddenly appeared.

how to say……

In order to collect [Honor Fragments], Zhang Zifan really likes others to give him pennants.

But these two giant pennants are too gaudy, right?

One of them is actually pretty good, it’s just a spot filled with flowers, with an old man with white hair standing underneath, and with some kind of advertisement, the elders in the family group will probably buy it.

Looking at the signature, this banner was given by that young man Zhu Zhenyu.

I don't know Zhang Zifan very well. I only know that he is also from the [-]th Middle School. He is darker and shorter. I don't know much about the rest.

However, Zhang Zifan had heard Yuan Qiang mention it several times, and he was very optimistic about this young man, saying that he had a good character.

Speaking of it, these two days seem to be the days when the university fills in volunteers.

Zhang Zifan also didn't care much.

Because it is still only the day when undergraduate batches volunteer to fill in the report, and it has nothing to do with Haoran Medical College.

In a few days, Zhang Zifan will be able to get the details of applying for Haoran Medical College from the Department of Education, and will draw up admission lines for each major based on the relevant data.

I also forgot to ask the kid surnamed Zhu how his grades were.

Looking at his big pennant and good character, if his grades are not good, he can also give him a special recruitment spot to play.

After all, in the first year of running the school, Zhang Zifan didn't have too high expectations. He didn't think about striving for high-quality students, as long as he could recruit people.

In general, although gaudy, Zhu Zhenyu's pennant was indeed sent to the heart of President Zhang.

but……

What happened to the other pennant?

Why does it say "Gong Xi Fa Cai" on it?
Zhang Zifan's mind was full of question marks, but he knew it when he saw the line of small characters embroidered below and the signature of the giftor.

読书は学习の术なり、学文は事をなすの术なり......

The inscription is Jiazi Tang Tang.

Only Lao Fang and Yang Tingting have the keys to his office.

Lao Fang would never do such a boring thing.

Zhang Zifan could already imagine the scene when Yang Tingting took the Japanese girl's pennant with a smirk on her face, and then deliberately hung it in the most conspicuous place.

Shaking his head, Zhang Zifan took down the pennant and put it in the corner.

Although the written content was a bit strange, the system still judged it to be a [Honor Fragment], and Zhang Zifan was unwilling to throw it away.

Sure enough, on the desk, Zhang Zifan saw the note left by Yang Tingting.

"Brother idiot,
When I saw a special pennant, I felt that you would like it, so I accepted it for you. I also invited Yuan Qiang and Liu Jianming to visit it, and I sent it to Moments.Don't thank me, these are what I should do.

Besides, you must be doing experiments late again today, right?I prepared coffee for you, Shi Xiaoya and I learned how to grind it ourselves!Be sure to take care of your body and get some rest!

After reading Yang Tingting's letter, Zhang Zifan's eyes twitched.

Leaving aside the matter of the pennant, what girlfriend would give coffee to a boyfriend who stays up late?

Shouldn't he cook ginseng soup to replenish his vitality?

Sending him coffee, is it because he is afraid that he hasn't slept late enough after staying up late?
Zhang Zifan complained about it, but he brewed the coffee powder honestly.

Shi Xiaoya loves coffee very much.

Zhang Zifan knew this from the first day he came to Haoran, or at first glance.

Even in the early stage, Zhang Zifan successfully used instant coffee to increase Shi Xiaoya's loyalty.

Obviously, times have changed and times have changed.

The little girl who used to be satisfied drinking Nestle instant solution is now also starting to pay attention to it.

Zhang Zifan didn't know much about coffee, and he even felt that the coffee powder he ground was not as tasty as instant coffee.

After reluctantly taking two sips, his mouth was full of bitterness.

But the tiredness did ease a lot.

At this time, the sound of cars on the road outside the window gradually became denser.

Zhang Zifan took out a notebook from the drawer and began to record today's experiment experience.

Experimental records are essential for a scientific researcher.

In the laboratory, there is a special notebook for recording experimental parameters, which is mainly responsible for Campbell.

It seems that it is a very important experimental document, and it is indeed very important, but the more important data are actually in Zhang Zifan's mind.

The parameters recorded in Campbell's experiment notebook are all the parameters of the routine experiment, as well as the confidential parameters that Zhang Zifan had to disclose in the previous part.

Zhang Zifan will record the top-secret parameters obtained through the [Eye of Deconstruction-Reconstruction] separately.

He is not a fool, Campbell's 55% loyalty, so the big data is there, so it is natural to have reservations.

In fact, even if his partner is Yuan Qiang, Zhang Zifan still needs to conceal part of the data.

Because he has no way to explain the real source of these data, he can only put them in the model design as a constant parameter like g and π.

While recalling the results of today's experiment, he took a sip of the bitter coffee. Suddenly, a drop of coffee liquid dripped on the notebook, turning into a faint dizziness.

Speaking of which, [Eye of Deconstruction-Reconstruction] should also be able to deconstruct plant cells and plant extracts, right?
Zhang Zifan thought of this subconsciously, and turned his gaze to the coffee cup that was no longer steaming.

Human beings are no less curious than cats.

However, such things as mobility vary from person to person.

Zhang Zifan happened to be a person with good mobility.

When you have an idea, try it out immediately.

Zhang Zifan found a blank glass slide from the filing cabinet, put a drop of coffee liquid on it, and observed it.

As a humanoid microscope, Zhang Zifan also needs a certain amount of time to focus through the light.

Otherwise, it would be a terrible thing to look at the world from a micro perspective 24 hours a day.

After all, when greeting someone, you can still see hundreds of millions of microorganisms feeding on his face, which is also an extremely terrifying thing.

Shaking his head, not thinking about such disgusting things, Zhang Zifan gradually switched his field of vision to the high-power lens mode to observe the situation in the coffee droplets.

Unsurprisingly, in the field of vision, the vast majority of the composition is water, followed by plant fibers.

During the grinding process, a large amount of plant fibers are mechanically destroyed.

Although these fibers look small, they are still insoluble in water, but in a suspended state.

In addition, the most starch granules.

Coffee beans are plant seeds that contain a lot of starch.

These starches are nutrients for future seed germination.

However, from the moment it was domesticated by humans, the starch accumulated by the coffee tree's hard work in photosynthesis was destined to become the fat ring on the waist of humans.

Naturally, Zhang Zifan was not interested in such common things as plant fibers and starch granules.

What Zhang Zifan wants to observe more is the special protein in coffee, as well as the famous caffeine.

However, at this moment, a familiar protein structure appeared in Zhang Zifan's vision.

This is an incomplete protein, the original four-layer structure has been destroyed.

But Zhang Zifan, who has read countless elements, still sees at a glance that it is definitely not the coffee itself.

The reason is simple. The secondary and tertiary structures of plant proteins and animal proteins are very different, and they are easy to distinguish regardless of hydrolysis and denaturation.

Of course, this was not what surprised Zhang Zifan.

It is not difficult to understand the presence of animal protein in the coffee liquid. Not to mention the pollution during the production and transportation process, even when Zhang Zifan drinks coffee by himself, his saliva will also contaminate the coffee liquid.

However, strangeness is strange here.

This semi-residual molecular group is indeed very similar to the saliva structure of a primate, but if it is a primate like Zhang Zifan, shouldn't these saliva protein molecules be destroyed to this extent in such a short period of time?

This made Zhang Zifan feel deeply puzzled.

In order to find out what it was, Zhang Zifan took some coffee liquid, and found similar molecular clusters in it.

At the same time, Zhang Zifan also took some of his own saliva and found the most common protein molecules in it for comparison.

The answer was unexpected, these molecular groups did not belong to Zhang Zifan at all.

Of course, these are not Yang Tingting's.

In fact, these molecular clusters are not human at all...

Thinking of some terrible possibility, Zhang Zifan suddenly turned pale.

"Beep beep-"

As the boss, Zhang Zifan mercilessly woke up Shi Xiaoya from her sweet dream with a phone call.

"Hey, is the dean okay?"

"Xiaoya, what kind of coffee did you give Dr. Yang yesterday?"

"I didn't give it to her. She should have prepared it herself. I don't know the details. I only taught the method."

……

"Dududu-"

"Miss Yang, it's five o'clock, get up soon, let me ask you, what kind of coffee do you grind for me?"

"Why are you yelling so loudly! It's only five o'clock! I need a beauty sleep!"

"Okay, okay, you answer me first, what kind of coffee is that, and then go to beauty sleep!"

"Haha, isn't it delicious? That was the 'Macaque Coffee' given to me by a patient from Bay Area before. It is said that it costs several hundred per pound. I couldn't bear to drink it. I gave it all to you, and the rest is in In the lower left drawer of your desk.

If it tastes good, drink more!I slept! "

……

Zhang Zifan hung up the phone dejectedly.

Although he doesn't like coffee, but by coincidence, he has heard of the name Macaque Coffee.

Macaque coffee is not like Sanlu milk powder, Sanlu is just a trademark.

Since cat poop coffee has become popular all over the world, all kinds of weird coffees have become popular.

What is the so-called black gold "elephant poop coffee", and what is more sweet and expensive than cat poop coffee "bird poop coffee"...

And macaque coffee is a thing made by people from the Gulf of my country...

But fortunately, macaque coffee is really different from the previous coffees, and it doesn't come from shit...

It comes from the vomit of macaques...

Well, Zhang Zifan has already forced his brain to stop thinking about this question.

If you think about it further, it's not a question of whether to raise your mind or not, it may directly cause the brain to panic.

But no matter what, he will never drink this cup of coffee again.

Just when Zhang Zifan lost all interest and was about to pour out all the coffee after glancing at the caffeine, an accident happened.

After gradually increasing the magnification, Zhang Zifan suddenly discovered that several coupling functional groups that he had never seen before appeared in his field of vision.

The caffeine molecule he was looking for was locked between these functional groups.
