Chapter 1137 Unexpected Discovery
Mannstein's laboratory was filled with bottles of liquor. Years had passed, but the experiments had made no progress, and the goal remained a distant prospect.

Now, having suddenly achieved a breakthrough, this was the happiest Mannstein had ever been, and the only time he had ever drunk beer directly in the laboratory.

He wasn't concerned about the Nobel Prize, but rather about the progress he was making in his head transplant experiment. It seemed that he could achieve the success of the head transplant experiment in his lifetime.

Looking at the neatly arranged wine bottles, he laughed heartily and picked up his phone to call Yang Ping again.

"Professor, I did it!"

You can almost smell the dark beer through the screen.

"Yes, congratulations!"

Yang Ping hung up the phone. It seemed that Einstein really wasn't suited for conversation these days.

Soon after, Mannstein called again, saying the same thing each time.

"Professor, I did it!"

Yang Ping simply blocked him, planning to talk to him again in a few days once he had calmed down.

"The short hair must be his father's, and the long hair must be his mother's."

Xiao Wu mysteriously took an envelope out of a book. Inside were two transparent plastic bags containing some hair, with labels still attached to the bags.

"you sure?"

Zhang Lin asked.

They hid in the training room.

“I’m 100% sure. I had the cleaning lady find it after he was discharged from the hospital. They take turns caring for Tong Yongqian. The folding bed for accompanying patients is used by his parents in turns. Generally, the cleaning lady will clean and disinfect the bed after the patient is discharged, so the short hair must be his father’s and the long hair must be his mother’s.”

"This won't do. If this thing is wrong, the experimental results will be inaccurate," Zhang Lin worried.

"Don't worry, there won't be any mistakes, absolutely not."

Xiao Wu made a solemn vow.

"Tell me honestly, how did you get the hair?" Zhang Lin still wanted to confirm.

"Oh, don't ask. I can guarantee 100% that this hair is from his parents, and it was obtained through legal means. Don't worry. You're as timid as a mouse, yet you want to do big things. Forget it, if you're afraid, I'll do it myself," Xiao Wu said impatiently.

“Who says I don’t dare? What’s the next step?” Zhang Lin immediately retorted.

Xiao Wu said very seriously, "We'll divide the hair into several sections and then go to the genetics lab at Nandu Medical University. If we can find a partner, we'll use the hair for genetic testing, and then compare the three genetic tests. Maybe we'll find something? If we really find a flaw in the current biological laws of inheritance, we'll be rich, you know?"

Zhang Lin was a little discouraged: "I heard from a friend in the neurology department that Director Xu talked to his parents. The father agreed, but the mother refused. Isn't that obvious? The child may not be related to his father by blood. His mother was afraid of finding out in the tests, so she firmly refused. Otherwise, what mother wouldn't want her child to continue to undergo free tests to find out the cause of the illness? There is only one explanation: she has something she can't say. What's the point of testing? Finding out that he is not her biological child is meaningless to us and a waste of effort."

Xiao Wu disagreed: "That's a fixed mindset. Didn't Professor Yang say that this is only one possibility? There could be a problem with the laws of biological genetics, or there might be other unknown factors hidden within. How can we be sure there's a problem with his kinship without genetic testing? We need to have a scientific spirit of seeking truth from facts, and not just parrot what others say. What does Professor Yang teach us every day? Seek truth from facts! Is there a direct connection between his mother's refusal to undergo testing and his kinship? No, it's just our one-sided subjective speculation. Such speculation is very emotional and violates the spirit of science."

Zhang Lin felt that Xiao Wu's words made sense and admired Xiao Wu in his heart.

“I have a classmate at Nandu Medical University. I asked him to find a friend in the genetics lab to help us with gene testing. I’ll treat them to a meal then.” Xiao Wu carefully put the hair into a transparent plastic bag and then closed the book.

"You can't tell anyone about this. What we're doing violates the ethical principles of scientific research. We didn't get their consent, and we'll be criticized if we're found out." "Don't worry, this is a secret between you, me, and everyone else."

"You're going to have to sew that big mouth of yours shut this time."

"That's it! That's it!"

When Einstein finally sobered up, he sent his microscopic images to Yang Ping, who carefully observed their structure.

Indeed, the broken nerve fibers were completely repaired by the same cells that were intact before.

It's like a wall with a gap in the middle. In the past, the repair was to just fill the gap with some other materials. Now, we find bricks that are exactly the same as the original wall and repair it according to the original wall structure. After the repair, the material and structure are the same as the original.

This guy could indeed potentially carry out a head transplant experiment. In fact, if the head transplant experiment is successful, it would mean that medicine has solved the problem of nerve damage repair, which would be good for other nerve injuries or diseases, as it would mean finding a new path to success.

Judging from the experimental results, the efficiency of cytokines using the space-guided gene theory by Einstein is very low, with a success rate of less than one in 100,000. This extremely low probability seems to indicate that success is a distant dream, but it is a breakthrough. Once a breakthrough is achieved, the rest is just a matter of improving efficiency.

"professor!"

Mannstein finally called with a clear head.

"These nerve fibers of mine must be repairing due to repair factors, not just accidental natural repair?"

Once he regained his senses, Mannstein was somewhat uncertain, because he had felt that success had come too suddenly, and he had previously thought that it would take another ten to twenty years to achieve even a small breakthrough.

“I’ve looked at it. There’s no chance in this kind of repair. If there were a chance, we could have used that chance as the subject of our analysis, instead of being stuck in a rut.” Yang Ping was looking at the pictures he had sent.

Hearing Yang Ping's affirmation, Mannstein felt more confident.

Sigh, it's because of the psychological trauma from my repeated failures in the past. Now that I've discovered three successful nerve fibers, I can hardly believe my eyes.

Having achieved a breakthrough, he plans to start researching the efficiency of this repair factor to see why it was successful, why only three fibers were successful, and why so many other fibers failed to repair.

The results of Zhang Lin and Xiao Wu's secret experiment have come out: Tong Yongqian's kinship with his parents is not in any way wrong, and both his father and mother are his biological parents.

But why doesn't Tong Yongqian conform to the genetic lineage of his mother's side? Why did this unexpected situation occur, and how did he manage to break out of the genetic lineage?

Biologically speaking, heredity and variation coexist. Heredity is stable, but sometimes unexpected things can happen.

This is different from everyone's initial assumptions. At the time, even Director Xu thought there might be a problem with the patient's paternal lineage, especially since his mother strongly opposed further examination, which made many people suspicious of her motives. However, the current test results clearly show that their kinship is not problematic.

Moreover, there is no problem with the source of these hairs. If the test results ultimately determine that Tong Yongqian is not related to his father or mother, there is still a possibility that the hair used as the test sample is incorrect and is not his parents' hair.

The test results now confirm that there is no problem with his kinship with his parents, so the origin of his hair cannot be wrong either.

Since there is no problem with kinship, the problem lies in the laws of inheritance, and an accident occurred during the inheritance process.

Investigating this accident might uncover something new, and Zhang Lin and Xiao Wu are determined to keep researching this problem, since they are not satisfied with just being masters of hooking hooks.

However, to continue the study seriously, the cooperation of the child and parents is needed; otherwise, it cannot proceed. But at the time, his mother was clearly unwilling to cooperate, and now that the patient has been discharged from the hospital, this is a problem.

The two discussed it and decided to go to Tong Yongqian's home to find out what was going on, and then persuade them to let Tong Yongqian undergo further examination to find out the cause of his illness.

As they thought about it, the two became excited and decided to get to the bottom of it.
