Rekindle 2003

Chapter 1209 The incident came to light
Compared to the other people in the living room who thought that the interaction between teacher and student was happily ending tonight, Tang Qianying, as Qingyun's bedside companion, actually knew better what the stinky little brother meant by the last words "I will accept your instruction" today.

That is what the teacher said, and I will keep it in mind, but I just won’t change!
Seeing the little worry in her eyes, Qing Yun leaned forward and kissed her smooth forehead, smiling.
"How could I be angry with the teacher? Actually, what she said does make sense. I didn't say I would totally ignore it."

In fact, Qingyun could understand Zeng Huixian's advice if she turned her attention to it.

What the teacher said tonight was actually no different from the original intention of Mr. Ren when he gave him the book "On the Battle Line".

It is all about uniting the broadest group of people.

It’s just that Mr. Ren was talking about business operations. You need to form alliances and make many friends and few enemies. A single flower does not make spring.

The teacher was talking about scientific research, asking him to be more tolerant of the academic community and let nature eliminate those unsuitable paths rather than having others artificially deny or select them.

Actually, that makes sense.

On the road of scientific research, those things that "seemed useless at first, but later proved to be very important" just show that scientific discoveries are not really useless, but that they surpassed the level of scientific development at the time and exceeded people's cognition of that era.

Even the so-called "uselessness theory" is nothing more than a prejudice against science and technology that is ahead of its time caused by people's short-sightedness and superficiality.

It’s just that Qing Yun is used to the scientific research model of science and engineering, and always thinks of himself as the chief architect of a system engineering project, so he allocates the resources of the entire system in his cognition.

After all, there are the 'Three Laws of Technology':

[1. Any technology that existed when I was born was part of the normal order of the world.

15. Any technology that comes out between the ages of 35 and is a revolutionary product that will change the world.

35. Any technology that comes out after I turn will violate the laws of nature and will be punished by God. 】

Of course, there are Clarke's three laws:
[1. If an old and distinguished scientist says that something is possible, he is almost certainly right; but if he says that something is impossible, he is probably wrong.
Second, the only way to discover the boundary of whether something is possible is to cross this boundary and run from the possible to the impossible;

3. We cannot distinguish between any sufficiently advanced technology and magic.

These so-called laws reflect people's philosophical thinking about the relationship between technological development and human understanding.

Especially the third one, it explains that when technology develops to a certain extent, its effects will be beyond the understanding of conventional science, just like "magic".

And 'magic' and 'useless' are just different ways of saying the same thing!

Looking back now, Qingyun himself felt that he was indeed a little impatient.

Some paths may be ridiculous in 20 years, but may be correct in 50 years.

There are countless such things in the history of scientific research.

Quantum mechanics, virology, non-Euclidean geometry...

A classic example in biology, green fluorescent protein.

There are many luminous creatures in nature. Among them, there is a jellyfish living in the sea that can emit a green fluorescence.

At that time, the laboratory of Sakura Country scientist Osamu Shimomura was trying to solve the mystery of this luminous jellyfish.

At that time, this jellyfish could only be caught in a fixed sea area in America during the summer.

So after catching more than 10,000 jellyfish, they began to return to the laboratory to purify the protein.

Here, two proteins were found, one of which is aequorin.

This jellyfish toxin can be activated by calcium ions and emit blue fluorescence, which caused a sensation in the entire biological world at the time.

Aequorin was used as a calcium ion sensor and injected into the muscle cells of barnacles and the nerve cells of squids. When the muscles contracted or the nerve cells discharged, the researchers clearly saw bright blue flashes in the cells for the first time.

The other protein, a byproduct that appears dark green in sunlight, was called green protein at the time and was later renamed green fluorescent protein.

After the successful research on jellyfish toxin, Osamu Shimomura turned his attention to this seemingly useless by-product.

Because the content of this protein in jellyfish is very low, in order to study this protein, he began to catch and cut jellyfish year after year. Only after catching hundreds of thousands of jellyfish did he gather enough raw materials to purify and crystallize this green protein.

Unfortunately, his research later went astray.

In 1974, his research concluded that green protein cannot fluoresce on its own and needs to be processed by some enzymes in the jellyfish to become a fluorescent protein.

This conclusion makes green fluorescent protein less valuable for research.

Later, his views were generally recognized by the academic community.

So the research was dropped.

Subsequently, many scientists have conducted research in this direction, but unfortunately, no good results have been obtained.

The most tragic of them all is Prasher.

He felt that Shimomura Osamu's conclusion might be wrong, so in the 80s, he also began a long career of catching and cutting jellyfish.

Eventually, he repeatedly tried materials obtained from tens of thousands of jellyfish and finally obtained the gene for green fluorescent protein.

However, when he transferred this gene into E. coli, the expressed protein did not emit fluorescence.

This conclusion completely broke Prasher's defense, and he became autistic.

In 1992, Chalfie conducted further research based on Prasher's research.

By using newer technology, they successfully obtained a protein that can emit green fluorescence in the laboratory, proving that green fluorescent protein can emit green fluorescence alone.

Later, Chalfie's team transferred the protein gene into the nerve cells of nematodes for expression, and finally they obtained nematodes that could emit green fluorescence.

After that, another scientist, Roger Tsien, also made new explorations based on Prasher's research.

Qian Yongjian took a different approach and expressed green fluorescent protein in yeast. He also conducted a series of mutation studies on this gene and produced fluorescent proteins of various colors.

Since then, green fluorescent protein has been widely used as a reporter gene in various research fields of life sciences.

To this day, this protein is still widely used in our laboratory research.

In 2008, three scientists, Osamu Shimomura, Chalfie and Roger Tsien, won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the discovery and improvement of green fluorescent protein.

A byproduct of an accidental discovery in 1962, a discovery that seemed to be of no use, eventually illuminated the entire biological world.

In 1987, Yoshizumi Ishino of Osaka University first discovered that there were some special regular sequences in the genome of Escherichia coli. A small segment of DNA would be repeated continuously, and there were equal length intervals between the repeated segments.

At that time, no one thought it was useful, and everyone even forgot about it.

It was rediscovered in other bacteria around 2000.

Now, this is called the CRISPR/Cas9 system, which constitutes the core of contemporary gene editing and gene therapy technology. It is the hope for countless patients with genetic and rare diseases and is currently the most powerful key for humans to achieve self-evolution.

Back to the semiconductor industry, between 1886 and 1889, experimental physicist Heinrich Rudolf Hertz confirmed Maxwell's prediction of the existence of electromagnetic waves through a series of experiments.

When his students later asked him if this thing had any possible uses, he said:
It is actually useless except for proving the wise prediction of Master Maxwell.

Then the student asked what he could do next, and his answer was even shorter: Nothing.

We all know what happened next, and wireless telegraph communication technology was born.

People often take time to understand and accept new ideas and discoveries, even when they come from very visionary people.

Therefore, Qingyun did not expect Zeng Huixian to understand him, nor did he expect him to see 50 years later.

Rubbing his chin on Lady Qianying's snow-white shoulders, Emperor Yun felt that it was indeed time for him to hide his edge.

He continued the road that should be continued, and he also laid the fire that should be spread.

Well, he has almost done his best to pretend.

Going further down the path, he no longer had any real experience as a "scientific pioneer".

He was just reborn 20 years ago, not 200 years ago.

After all, he is not a true genius like Mr. Qian who can make decisions alone for fifty years.

What he is still doing now is to tackle the problem of crystalline silicon, the most basic material of semiconductors, and achieve full domestic substitution.

Now, it is time to leave his seeds in this world... so that he can be truly connected with this world.

Qingyun often woke up from a dream in the middle of the night.

He was afraid that all this was just a dream he had when he dozed off while waiting in front of Qin Manyan's delivery room.

There is no way, there are many such plots in Zou Zhan's novels, which are usually used by the author who really doesn't want to fill the hole at the end. Fortunately, this world is not only about Qin Manyan, Tang Qianying, Chen Yue, Li Yali, and Zhang Li.

The existence of Su Daji and Sister Xiaoya confirmed the reality of this world.

Sometimes, he even doubted whether he had ever been reborn at all.
But everything that happened in the previous life was just a dream?

Looking at the mirror that he had installed on the partition with a sense of evil, he raised his eyebrows at Emperor Yun in the mirror.

And Qing Yun in the mirror was dancing towards his smirking eyebrows.

Maybe this moment is a dream, maybe it was a dream in the previous life, maybe this moment and the previous life are both a dream.

But he is still himself.

There is no conflict between a 40-year-old soul and a 19-year-old soul.

It is nothing more than the unity of the 'three selves': the subjective self, the objective self, and the self in the mirror.

At this time, Emperor Yun couldn't help but sigh that what the ancients said was right.

A wife is worse than a concubine, and a concubine is worse than a thief.

……

On the afternoon of November 11rd, Monday, the winter sun shone through the gauze curtains and onto Momono Muxiangnei who was lying on the bed. She was wearing loose home maternity clothes and looked particularly gentle and peaceful.

Zeng Huixian gently closed the bedroom door and the house door and went out to buy groceries. The whole house was quiet, leaving only Tao Nai Mu Xiangnei and the baby in her belly.

She should have been sleeping soundly in bed, but she quickly opened her eyes, and then walked towards the kitchen with a glass of freshly squeezed apple juice given to her by Zeng Huixian on the bedside.

She had to finish her work while Zeng Huixian was buying groceries.

As long as a person is still in a human organization, no matter how high his level is, he is essentially still a worker.

Fortunately, Zeng Huixian doesn't know how to drive. Going to the vegetable market to buy vegetables or something, according to her estimation when she accompanied Zeng Huixian yesterday, it would take at least an hour to go back and forth.

And today, she specially ordered a chicken.

Live poultry needs to be processed in the market, which takes a certain amount of time, so she doesn't need to be too anxious and moves very calmly.

In the kitchen, she opened the secret communication computer hidden in the cupboard with ease. The moment the screen lit up, it was as if the door to another world had been opened.

Momono Mukanai sat in front of the computer, her eyes focused and deep.

On the computer screen, Mei's work affairs flashed one by one. She stopped from time to time, read carefully, and then issued instructions.

"Kujo-kun, please keep a close eye on the situation in Somalia."

She said softly, her fingers tapping on the keyboard, "We need to pay special attention to the actions of Kong Ziqian, Li Ka, and Pi Moumou."

Although she decided not to go against the future godfather of her baby, she still had to report what was necessary.

Although she took maternity leave, the people involved in this matter were all people she could come into contact with, so she couldn't hide it.

If something goes wrong in the future, she will be in big trouble even if she knew about it but did not report it.

Kujo Tadayoshi responded respectfully on the other end, "Don't worry, Chief, everything is under control.

We will definitely handle it properly and will never cause you any trouble. "

There was a hint of respect and caution in his tone.

He knew very well that although Momono Muxiangnai was a woman, she held a very important position in the base camp.

What's more, Kujo Tadayoshi knew better than anyone that the Tachibana family, one of the four royal families, had in fact declined and had even become a laughing stock among the Sakura clan because of intermarriage with commoners.

But Momono Mukana... or Tachibana Kana, who has the support of the Konoe family, the head of the Five Regents, has unlimited future development in the future because of the existence of this healthy gene, regardless of the boy or girl in her belly.

The eldest son of the Konoe family, as long as he is not a fool, will definitely be a high-ranking cabinet member in the future. Even if he is not so mediocre, he will definitely become the prime minister.

And it would be even more amazing if Tachibana Kana gave birth to a daughter in the future.

The royal family declined because no one took them seriously.

But if necessary, it can also be used as a signboard.

Even if there is someone with a high IQ in the Sakura royal family, it would only take a few minutes for the dual constitutional monarchy to be transformed into a unipolar constitutional monarchy.

Although he is old, he still has children and grandchildren, which represents the love of his ancestors.

On the other end of the phone, Momono Mukanai smiled slightly.

According to the headquarters' arrangement, Kujo Tadayoshi will retire after her maternity leave, and there will be no new chief to replace her in the Ume Agency during this period.

This is one of the reasons why she dared to take a vacation with peace of mind.

There is nothing more suitable for retired people than living a lazy life. Only a lunatic would have second thoughts.

You're about to retire, and you're still starting a business?
Only Sima Yi could do such a thing.

There's no need to worry about everyone in the Mei agency slacking off while she's away.

Because there is nothing much to do.

After entering 2004, China has attached more and more importance to national security work. Qing Yun took advantage of the Su Caiwei incident to shout "The Internet is not a lawless place" and came up with the real-name system for Internet access, which made the newly emerging online water army disappear.

Compared to the Internet boom a decade later, it was easier to make adjustments at the beginning of the century because the ship was smaller.

At the same time, the re-implementation of the confidentiality mechanism of national defense science and technology and the further strengthening of the Anti-Espionage Law and the National Security Law, which were implemented 10 years ahead of schedule, forced the activities of the Mei Agency into a low-frequency period due to the situation, and the Mei Agency did not have any major problems.

There is absolutely no way around it, and it is a move that the headquarters can only accept.

After all, at this moment, China is in the midst of a power transition period, and the situation is volatile. Anything done now may be futile.

They are also afraid of standing on the wrong side.

The sunlight shines on Momono Mukanai's face, and her eyes show both concentration on work and anticipation for future life.

The baby in her belly moved. She stopped what she was doing, muted the communicator, and gently stroked her bulging belly.
"Baby, are you angry with mom? Mom knows you are naughty, but you have to be good."

Kong Ziqian, Li Ka, Pi Moumou, she doesn't care about the life and death of those who have nothing to do with her.

She even prayed silently in her heart, hoping that they would all disappear, which would actually reduce a lot of trouble.

On this quiet afternoon, Momono Mukanai was in this sun-filled kitchen, handling the affairs of the Plum Agency while enjoying the warm time between mother and son.

Then she would clean up everything before Zeng Huixian came back, lie back on the bed, pretend to wake up from a nap, and then help Zeng Huixian pick vegetables or something.

Her face was filled with a happy smile, as if the whole world had become gentle and beautiful.

However, happiness is always short-lived.

At this moment, there was a click and the sound of a magnetic card swiping through the door lock was heard, and the door was opened from the outside.

Momono Mukanai was busy packing up the secret communication computer in the cupboard.

Her eyes were fixed on the kitchen door, and she felt extremely regretful at the moment.

I was too lazy and should have locked the kitchen door!

Or maybe they didn't dare to let Guangyong Junan's broken magnetic card door go in the first place!

I shouldn't have even placed the kitchen at the turning point of the entrance just to suit my living habits.

Although this way the food can be returned immediately after purchase, saving time and effort, it has now become a big hassle.

At this moment, the baby in her belly moved violently and at an inopportune time. Momono Mukana held her waist and belly in pain. The movement of her hands was instantly paused and her whole body was stiff.

Zeng Huixian walked into the kitchen with a smile on her face, and caught a glimpse of Tao Nai Mu Xiangnai looking at her in wonder. Then she saw the computer on the cupboard that had not been put away yet, and her smile froze on her face.

"Snapped"

The vegetables she was holding fell to the ground.
