I Don’t Want to Win Lying Down

hehe...

You can buy a receiver for just one dollar. Xu Mang said awkwardly but politely: After all, I lost more than 30,000 US dollars. This equipment is not cheap. Don't think it's just a simple receiver. , it's... right?

Xu Mang didn't know what to say. Anyway, now that he was in China, he was separated from Professor Smith by the Pacific Ocean. The distance created an infinite sense of security. Let alone Professor Smith, even Trump could scold him.

well?

Are you impeaching recently? Xu Mang asked curiously, How did it turn out?

...

You seem to be very concerned about political turmoil in the United States. Smith said helplessly: Let's not mention impeachment or not, what about your little broken box? You gave us a receiver and embarrassed us at Princeton University. Hand over the letter to Congress, or do you think you got the first money like this?

Xu Mang smirked, he didn't know what to do for a while, it was impossible to give, and he made a fuss about his hard work, and they took away the fruits of their labor without saying a word. Where should I go to reason?

After thinking for a long time,

In the end, we got along with a particularly bad idea, a single word - dragging. Xu Mang has a deep understanding of the dragging formula. As an upright Chinese, how could he not be kicked around like a ball? It's a little better, but it's not a cure for the symptoms.

oops!

It's so late?

Professor Smith...I'm sorry, I'm going to the company to pick up my wife from get off work. Xu Mang sighed, and said helplessly, Let's talk about it some other time. In fact, this matter is a bit embarrassing. It's not so easy to handle. Yes, let’s talk about it when we have a chance.”

That's too late!

That's it...Professor Smith, I'm going to pick up my wife, or she will be angry again.

Snapped!

Just hang up.

Xu Mang glanced at Wang Ai, who was stunned in front of him, calmly picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, Is there anything else you can do? If you don't work hard, you'll just wander around all day, even though I'm not your father's now. Colleague, but I am the person in charge of the laboratory, so I can still take care of you.

I...

you...

Brother!

Are you embarrassed that people have nothing to do?

Hearing Xu Mang's words, Wang Ai was almost not confused, but what he said made sense. The guy in front of him was paying his salary, so there was no way... If he wasn't paying his salary, he would have killed him a long time ago. I can't see anyone all day long, either eating melon seeds with Erlang's legs crossed, or sleeping on a chair paralyzed.

Watching Wang Ai leave, Xu Mang happily packed up his things and prepared to have a good night's sleep. However, at this moment, he received a call from Second Grandpa, as if he needed something urgent.

Xu Mang!

Come to my office tomorrow, someone wants to invite you out of the mountain! Second Grandpa said.

ah?

Forget it...all my remaining equipment will arrive in a few days, and I will supervise it then. Xu Mang said helplessly, Who is calling for me? Many people know my phone number, so there should be no need. Shall I ask you to convey the news?

He and I are old friends. He knows the relationship between me and you, so he found me directly. Besides, your affairs have been quite troublesome recently. It is not appropriate to go to you directly. The second grandfather said: Yes The Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology of the Academy of Sciences, in addition to wanting to use your artificial intelligence, also wants you to expand your avenues in the field of gene editing.

ah?

The field of gene editing? Xu Mang was stunned for a moment. Now that his biological skills have reached proficiency, he naturally knows what this field is for. It is a new and more precise method that can modify specific target genes in the genome of organisms. A genetic engineering technique.

Gene editing technology refers to the ability to allow humans to conduct targeted editing of target genes,

To achieve the modification of specific DNA fragments.

oh...

I see. Xu Mang said calmly, I'll come over tomorrow morning.

good!

Don't be late, or there will be no place to put my old face. Second Grandpa warned.

...

half past five in the afternoon,

Yang Xiaoman dragged her exhausted body to the front desk of the company, only to see a scene that disturbed her. Her husband was lying on the front desk, chatting happily with the two front desk staff, especially those two people watching Xu Mang's eyes glowed with hunger and desire.

Damn it!

This bastard... really wants to kill him!

Ahem!

What are you talking about? Yang Xiaoman walked to Xu Mang's side with a dark face, glanced at his two employees, and said calmly, I will report to the warehouse tomorrow.

Xu Mang:? ? ?

However, there was no report going to the warehouse, but Yang Xiaoman educated the two of them severely. Seeing the two girls who had just graduated from college bowing their heads in front of Yang Xiaoman, Xu Mang felt that this scene had something to do with it. A little scary.

on the way home,

Xu Mang asked curiously, My wife...you have to change your temper in the company. You are a dictator and a devil in the eyes of the employees.

cut!

Whatever! Yang Xiaoman said indifferently: I can do whatever I like, the temper of rich people is so plain and boring.

at home,

Xu Mang made some dinner casually, and then sorted the garbage. It took about ten minutes, and carrying three bags of sorted garbage, he went to the garbage disposal place in the community. rubbish truck.

Seeing the garbage truck throwing four buckets of garbage together, Xu Mang fell into a daze.

I...

this...

It took ten minutes, what was it for?

At this time, Xu Mang realized that the so-called classification was actually just a form. Many places introduced this model, but he didn't think about what to do next.

sorry,

Don't want to waste time on meaningless forms anymore.

What's wrong?

Go out with a happy face, and come back listless? Yang Xiaoman was checking Weibo, and seeing Xu Mang coming back disappointed, he couldn't help asking curiously, Did you encounter any trouble?

Forget it.

It's a big blow, my wife... don't separate the garbage in the future, it's a waste of energy. Xu Mang said angrily, I'm going upstairs!

words fall,

He went to the study alone, leaving Yang Xiaoman with a dazed expression.

...

the next day,

half past eight in the morning,

Xu Mang woke up from his sleep, glanced at the time, and lay down in the warm blanket again silently. It was already so late anyway... It's better to sleep for another half an hour.

at the same time,

In Fuda President's Office,

The second grandfather is receiving his old friend, Academician Zhong, the head of the Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Old clock!

Do you think it's okay to find Xu Mang? Second Grandpa said seriously, This kid is in physics. If you ask him to solve the gene editing problem, if something happens, the consequences will be disastrous!

Won't!

I can swear on my life that Xu Mang definitely understands gene editing, and he is not half-understood, but very proficient. Academician Zhong said solemnly: Old friend... If Xu Mang is not willing to help, you can help me. Give me some advice.

this...

It's hard to persuade, this kid is very aggressive. The second grandfather smiled wryly: If he can be persuaded, he can still resign from his post as a professor of physics at Fuda University?

...

This... Academician Zhong was very helpless, pondered for a moment, and said, If this happens, no matter what...you must persuade Xu Mang to help us in the field of gene editing no matter what. Forge a new path.

The second grandfather smiled wryly, I can only do my best...

for a long time,

After an hour,

Second Grandpa couldn't wait any longer, so he called Xu Mang to ask what was going on.

What?

Are you still on the way? Second Grandpa said helplessly, Hurry up!

Snapped,

hang up,

He raised his head and glanced at Academician Zhong, and said with a wry smile, This kid is late again, or...forget it, I think Xu Mang is unreliable, if it is about physics and mathematics, I don't think there is any problem, but ...This biological genetic aspect...you can't trust him unconditionally just because he has built an artificial intelligence.

actually...

Let me tell you this. Academician Zhong said seriously: We hope that Xu Mang can develop artificial intelligence in gene editing to alleviate the current difficulties we are encountering. The CRISPR–Cas9 gene editing system is now popular all over the world. being able to alter the genome relatively easily.

But it is not so smart, it often makes mistakes, and even brings unexpected consequences. Academician Zhong said seriously: Do you remember what happened not long ago? It was because the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system was not mature enough, which caused problems. .”

The second grandfather frowned. He knew that in the previous accident, although there were no casualties, it caused huge economic losses. It seemed that they were helpless. It just so happened that this brat tossed out the artificial intelligence that analyzed the protein structure. .

Under normal circumstances, this kid is very sensible. The second grandfather said seriously: As long as it can be done, he will rarely refuse... But... I hope that while helping you, he will give him a little something special. In return, he might be embarrassed to mention it, so I did it for him.

Academician Zhong asked: What reward? As long as we can do it, we will do our best.

In the large-scale collider project, I hope you will stand by Xu Mang's side. Even if you can't stand by Xu Mang's side for some irresistible reason, then you can't stand opposite him. The second grandfather said : Old Zhong, what do you think?

no problem!

In fact, I originally supported Xu Mang's suggestion. Academician Zhong said: Many people only look at the present, but never look at the future. High-energy physics is too far behind, and the relevant technical reserves are zero. In the era of new physics, we will be beaten again.

but...

I analyzed the current public opinion environment, and we are destined to be beaten. Academician Zhong showed a trace of bitterness: Basically, 85% of them are against, let's see in fifty years... I hope Xu Mang can Shorten the gap.

fifty years?

Now that he was twenty years behind, and another fifty years behind, Xu Mang would never be able to do it.

suddenly,

The office fell into silence, and neither of them spoke.

for a long time,

There was a knock on the office door, and Xu Mang walked in slowly, carrying a fruit basket, with a smile on his face.

Excuse me...

Accidentally overslept.
