Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

"...Mo Dao, how about coming to study at my place for graduate school?"

At the beginning of 2014, one academic year had passed since Mo Dao entered the outstanding youth class of the School of Life Sciences of Capital University.

In the past school year,

Just like the geniuses in the elite class of the School of Physics,

These students in the outstanding youth class, who have been considered geniuses among their peers since childhood, also felt despair and doubted life. They once suspected that they were idiots and did not have any biological talents.

After that, he was basically numb. He basically had no feeling for the growing gap between Mo Dao and their rapid opening.

When competing with each other, they all passed by Mo Dao.

now,

After a winter vacation, Professor Chang Mingde, director of the Biotechnology and Genetics Teaching and Research Section,

Mo Daozai was called to the office.

As soon as Mo Dao arrived, Professor Chang went straight to the point and directly expressed the purpose of calling Mo Dao.

Due to the special nature of the outstanding youth class, Professor Hechang himself is willing to occasionally tutor undergraduate students.

Professor Chang also teaches two classes from time to time for the students in the outstanding youth class.

As a teacher, Professor Chang still liked the student Mo Dao.

Just as students want to find a good teacher, a good teacher also wants to find a good student.

Sometimes when I get jealous, I always feel a little unable to move when I see a good young man like Mo Dao who has many students.

It is true that the talent Mo Dao has shown over the past year is too exaggerated.

The speed of learning is very fast compared to other students in the outstanding youth class.

In the field of biology, in just one year, the breadth of knowledge is vast.

The outstanding youth class is not limited to what courses students study, and Mo Dao naturally cannot be limited to his biotechnology major.

To a teacher, just say,

Students will naturally be able to directly understand the knowledge you teach them all over again. This feeling is really satisfying.

Professor Chang Mingde also communicated with Mo Dao many times.

Many times when I talk about some research and ideas in the biological field, I feel as if I have met a confidant.

When Professor Chang looked at Mo Dao, Mo Dao also looked at him.

Speaking of which,

This Professor Chang has some connections not only in this life, but also in earlier times.

Qiusuo Research Institute also poached Professor Chang.

At this time, Professor Chang was already an outstanding student and the director of the teaching and research section.

During his time at the Qiusu Research Institute, because of his many years of achievements in genetics research, he was even named an academician when he was at the Qiusu Research Institute.

"OK."

Mo Dao just nodded and agreed to Professor Chang.

Professor Chang laughed after hearing Mo Dao's answer, stood up and hugged Mo Dao.

"You kid, I thought you had to hesitate."

"Then come to my laboratory tomorrow. Do you have any research directions? When you and I were chatting, I found some interesting ideas. You can try them out."

Professor Chang patted Mo Dao on the shoulder again and said crisply,

"You may want to study the mechanisms of action of some special diseases at the genetic level."

“Maybe focus on a subfield under cancer research.”

"Good boy, you are ambitious enough, but it's okay. If you have talent, don't waste it. When you think about the angle from which to intervene, just tell me and I will approve the funds for you."

Hearing about cancer research, it seemed a bit exaggerated for Mo Dao at this moment.

However, Professor Chang didn't care. First, he trusted Mo Dao and knew that Mo Dao would not act recklessly.

Second, this is a quite large research topic. It is not particularly popular, but it is not unpopular.

Mo Dao chooses one of the small fields and does a little academic research, which is nothing.

"OK."

Mo Dao smiled and agreed directly.

…

The special thing about the outstanding youth class is that you can graduate early with your undergraduate degree.

In other words, the students in the outstanding youth class are actually studying for a bachelor's degree, a master's degree, and a Ph.D.

Either give up halfway or change majors, otherwise the entire post-college study career will actually be connected together.

If Mo Dao's graduate thesis is excellent enough, he will actually be directly awarded a doctorate.

After agreeing to study with Professor Chang,

Mo Dao ended his undergraduate studies ahead of schedule.

The other students in the outstanding youth class didn't feel much about this.

Anyway, it's already numb.

…

After more than a year of study, to what extent has Mo Dao's knowledge in the biological field reached?

To give a simple analogy, in the life of Qiusu Research Institute, how much time did it take for Mo Dao to go from being new to aerospace research to presiding over the entire aerospace research?

It is already roughly clear that the latter may not have taken more than a year.

This is why Professor Chang asked Mo Dao to choose the direction of his research topic.

Although I am a little confused, I don’t know where my learning progress is.

But in Professor Chang's own judgment, Mo Dao was clearly qualified for independent research.

As for Mo Dao,

After mastering sufficient professional knowledge, the research work itself,

Many places are connected.

From a macro perspective, the father of controllable nuclear fusion and the founder of the Qiusuo Research Institute did not need to find anyone to teach him scientific research thinking.

To be more specific, Mo Dao has already come into contact with most of the equipment in biological research experiments.

…

March 14.

Mo Dao briefly explained to Professor Chang some of his ideas on cancer mechanism research in writing.

After detailed communication with Mo Dao, Professor Chang set up a research group for Mo Dao, and let Mo Dao be responsible for the research he proposed.

In addition, he provided Mo Dao with the right to use various equipment in his laboratory and approved some funds.

The funds and even the right to use laboratory equipment are actually irrelevant to Mo Dao.

If he wants to have it and wants to use it, he can get it naturally.

For Mo Dao,

the only meaningful thing is that

from this moment on, his life goal in this life has officially begun.

…

It cannot be said that the content of Mo Dao’s research has nothing to do with cancer treatment,

but the direct relationship is indeed not great.

The research on the underlying mechanism of cancer may guide the treatment of cancer and other related diseases and the development of drugs,

but more of it is still a research work that stays in the field of academic theory.

It is a theoretical research based on laboratory experimental data.

And the biggest problem of such research is not experimental verification or collecting experimental data itself,

but finding a suitable entry point, and having an idea first.

Mo Dao did have some ideas, but even for Mo Dao, this was still a very difficult research task.

What he wanted to do was definitely not to explain a small aspect of the cancer mechanism,

but to reveal the entire cancer mechanism.

This was a problem that had not been solved even in the past life of the Qiusuo Institute.

While the interstellar spacecraft and the planets in the solar system were busy running,

the research on the mechanism behind cancer had made progress, but it was still impossible to give a complete mechanism process.

Humanity was still troubled by cancer.

And Mo Dao,

the reason why he chose this aspect of research as the starting point for this life's research,

was that,

cancer, a somewhat special disease,

seemed to have some vague but inseparable connection with aging itself from the underlying logic.

The most direct and crude point was that,

the division of cancer cells was not limited like that of normal cells.

The most famous HeLa cells have been used for a long time.
