The stimulation of dedifferentiation technology was so great that Zhang Yao was so excited that she lost the calmness that an academic person should have, and accidentally bald and spouted nonsense.However, although he spoke impassionedly in front of Liu Ming, in the last ten years of professional cultivation, he finally controlled the scene.In the final draft of the telegram, she tried her best to keep calm, objective and rational, and tried her best to restrain her urge to jump on the line of the transport plane to Chang'an. observations and related inferences.

This telegram was successfully forwarded to the Modern Biology Laboratory, and then, as a matter of course, the emotions of all the professionals in the laboratory were detonated-of course, it was not excitement, but suspicion of the traversers stationed in Chang'an Is the team infected with some kind of delirium-like folk syndrome due to excessive stress and neurological disorders?

This kind of thinking is not due to the self-sufficiency or arrogance of some academic experts, but purely because the facts reported in the telegram are too bizarre, far beyond the imagination of normal logic - if you use an analogy, then this It is equivalent to someone sending a letter to the Chinese Academy of Sciences claiming to have found a cheap and reliable commercial nuclear fusion technology, which will definitely only attract the helpless eyes of the experts.

Since the discovery of the ability of stem cells to differentiate into various tissues in the human body in the last century, the biological community has always regarded this almighty cell as a panacea to solve the dilemma of the entire medical field.In the fantasies that were first publicized to the public, they even fantasized about cultivating human organs with stem cells, and then repairing every damaged part of human beings as easily as replacing parts (of course, most of this big-leap-forward concept is to cheat funds for special use. ).But after decades of experiments, biologists have invested countless manpower and material resources on stem cells, racking up every drop of brains that the world's most intelligent brains can supply, but the final result is extremely miserable—— — Not only the curative effect advertised in the propaganda cannot be achieved, but even the stem cell therapy that has been developed is far less subversive than imagined; human beings have looked up to the biological crown on the peak decades ago, and it is still the same after decades It's a high mountain that looks up and stops, and I'm afraid I haven't climbed to the foot of the mountain yet.

The reason for this situation is quite simple - the number of human stem cells is too small, and it is basically impossible to complete the heavy work of remodeling tissues and even organs except for minor repairs to generate a few key functional cells; based on this In reality, the scope of application of stem cell therapy has become quite narrow.Of course, biologists have considered this situation, so after the new century, the research direction has changed, and they are committed to dedifferentiation of fully differentiated functional cells and re-manufacturing stem cells.

This idea is quite beautiful.The actual results are also good—biologists have dedifferentiated somatic cells into pluripotent induced stem cells in the laboratory, and obtained the so-called great technology with "unlimited application prospects"—as for why only the "prospects" for applications The reason is quite simple: the dedifferentiation process is completely uncontrollable, and most of the resulting stem cells have serious problems and often undergo rapid apoptosis; even a small number of cells that survive and start multiplying will quickly degenerate into completely uncontrolled growth. Cancer cells, give biologists a big slap in the face...

So struggling for so many years, the scientific community has to admit the reality—perhaps the secret record of stem cells and dedifferentiation is too complicated, and it is still impossible for human beings to do it with this crude biological technology.

Although this fact is not publicized (relevant research needs funding), the academic community has basically reached a consensus.Therefore, when the biology laboratory saw Zhang Yao's signature on the telegram, the first reaction was a bit outrageous—Mr. Mu and others don't understand biology, so it's nothing to speculate; The dignified doctor actually followed the wind to spread this kind of joke, does he still have the sense of responsibility of a professional?

Then they made a mistake one page later, and saw the guarantee written by Zhang Yao in his own handwriting, betting on his academic reputation.

The guarantee caused widespread consternation, and the professor who read it almost screamed out.Of course, following the astonishment comes a certain kind of hesitation after the absurd—academic credibility is equivalent to a professional's life and wealth, and a well-trained expert guarantees with this kind of thing, no matter what she is guaranteeing, This testimony is quite strong.

There was a silence in the laboratory.After looking at each other hesitantly, finally a few doctoral students with lesser qualifications received the signal from the boss, plucked up the courage to speak up, and suggested whether they could pay a little attention to this proposal for the sake of Mr. Mu, such as air transport Several instruments used for precise analysis passed, let them provide a more detailed report for consideration?

With such a step down, the very boss who is in charge can nod and smile kindly, and set the tone of this matter lightly, saying that he can give it a try.Of course, the reason for making the decision is definitely not "to save face for Mr. Mu"; you must know that science is objective, rational, and calm, but it is also full of passion and exploration. You should have the desire to explore and curiosity about unknown things, not Sticking to existing conclusions is the necessary quality of a scientist...

Such a wonderful speech so high in the air that people are hypoxic, won the unanimous nod of approval inside and outside the laboratory in an instant.Everyone echoed, saying that biology should not be limited to routines, and should have such a broad and open mind——

But before he finished speaking, there was a ding in the corner.The fax machine on the table sent out a reminder, creaked at the same time, and spit out a white paper that was still so hot.A few staff members in charge of logistics saw it at a glance, and immediately let out a hush—this is a fax machine specially made for them by the emergency team, and it is only responsible for forwarding the messages sent by the travel team on the other side of time and space.But since it was installed, this thing has not been put to use: the information exchange service between the two worlds provided by the system is billed according to traffic, and in order to save as much as possible, messages are usually sent by telegram.

Now that he can spend this money in a big way, of course there are some urgent requirements.The experimenter who was close to the fax machine picked up the fax, and recognized the blurry image on it at a glance—this should be a photo of cells taken under a high-resolution microscope, but the equipment is not in good condition. An outline can be vaguely seen.Judging from the general situation, this should be the white blood cells photographed...

The experimenter's eyes widened suddenly.He took another careful look at the crude and simple photos on the printing paper, which were so clumsy that he could hardly bear to look directly at them, and finally shivered slowly.

"I fucking—!"

To put it simply, although Zhang Yao swore in the telegram that she would mortgage her worth and life, deep down in her heart, she was fully aware that knowing such memorization would not be able to shake the laboratory's decision--to put it bluntly. Well, the water inside the stem cells is too deep and the wind and waves are too big. Let alone a mere young biologist, she is a world-renowned and Nobel-level tycoon in the academic world, and many of them have capsized when it comes to stem cell dedifferentiation.The so-called "studying a pit and gaining a wisdom", after being cheated so many times, if the academic circles don't have some instinctive vigilance and suspicion, that would be a strange thing!

Such doubts cannot be dispelled by guarantees.Therefore, after urging Liu Ming to urgently send the telegram, Zhang Yao immediately transferred the highest-precision microscope that was brought temporarily, and regardless of the rough experimental conditions and low precision, she began to observe the performance of each cell of the strain and tissue species on the spot.Although the conditions were so inconvenient, Zhang Yao finally found the evidence she wanted after staring at it for more than two hours without moving. She personally observed the process of dedifferentiation of white blood cells into hematopoietic stem cells.

So Zhang Yao jumped up again, dialed the radio of China Unicom Chang'an with more fanatical passion than before, and mobilized all the tone during the call to strongly request Mu Chen to open the channel for image transmission, and got a quick response (actually , Mu Chen was almost frightened by her tone, and agreed before he could react).After getting the permission, Zhang Yao let out a long breath, and finally managed to mobilize her rationality.Perhaps aware of the impact on Mu Chen on the other side of wireless, she hesitated for a moment, but before hanging up, she made a friendly reminder:

"As soon as this news is sent out." Zhang Yao tactfully said, "The laboratory may be more excited. The reaction... will be a little big."

Whether the reaction in the laboratory was clear or not, Mu Chen's voice suddenly raised:

"Excitement?——what kind of excitement method?"

"...Probably." Zhang Yao hesitated for a moment: "It will be a little more excited than me... right?"

Facts have proved that Zhang Yao's words are really too relaxed, too euphemistic, and too understated.It was six o'clock that night.Xiang Liang hurried into Muchen reluctantly while having dinner, and announced an unbelievable news to him:

"The emergency team notified us to get ready." Xiang Liang said: "The people in the biological laboratory have already boarded the transport plane, and there are also a large number of precision instruments. The load of this transport plane is about [-] tons. A new makeshift airport is needed..."

Mu Chen opened his mouth wide, and the chopsticks slipped soundlessly from his hands.Although he is only a two-handed knife in military knowledge, he can also know the weight of this kind of thing by reading magazines-the transport plane currently in service in Huaxia only has a load of [-] to [-] tons. The test models that have not yet been mass-produced have been dragged out!

He trembled for a moment, and finally stammered out a sentence:

"They—where did they get that thing?!"

Xiang Liang's face twitched, remembering Li Ziwen's anger that could almost be seen from the text when he sent a message to himself:

"—fuck it, those people are still talking nonsense about borrowing a plane! This is directly to cheat, to sneak attack—a group of five or 60-year-old cowhide bosses ran to Lao Tzu's office to touch porcelain, insisting on extorting one Transport planes are not allowed. Damn it, I put this old face on my face not to beg my grandpa to sue my grandma, but the Air Force finally agreed at the last moment—"

"...Well--not sure."

he calmly replied
