They’re all reborn, what’s wrong with being a little more almighty?

Chapter 200 Lucky Sam

It was getting dark, and old unfortunate Sam still stayed in the laboratory with no intention of leaving.

"Sam, you have been working overtime for more than an hour, do you still plan to work overtime? There is no overtime pay!" the postdoctoral fellow said.

Sam looked at the clock on the wall and showed a look of realization: "It turns out I'm already so late!"

"Yeah, it's getting dark outside, let's go together!"

"You go first, I'll finish what I'm doing. The cell transformation results will be out soon. If there is no positive result, then my set of tasks will be considered completed."

"Okay, I won't disturb you anymore. I'm leaving first." The postdoc said hello and turned to leave.

Sam continues to wait for the results of the cell transformation.

After a while, the results finally appeared in front of Sam's eyes. Among the seven gene combinations he was responsible for, one group of cell transformations showed positive results.

"Positive, it's really positive!" Sam let out a sigh of relief, but instead of relaxing, he seemed even more nervous.

I am relieved because this experiment finally has results, but I am nervous because follow-up experiments are needed to verify it.

If the cell transformation results of the seven gene combinations are all negative, it means that the experiment failed and they did not find the required gene combination. Then there is no need to continue subsequent verification.

But if one or several of the positive transformation results are positive, follow-up experiments are needed to determine whether the transformed cells can survive in the stem cell culture system.

Sam took a look at the combination that showed positive cell transformation. The four genes were: Oct3/4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc.

"It's already dark, let's continue tomorrow!" Sam looked at the sky outside and planned to leave the laboratory, but when he reached the door, he stopped again.

He remembered that three years ago, it was also dark like this and he left the laboratory, but the sky outside was a little gloomy at that time.

Then came the heavy rain, which lasted for several days, blocking traffic and making it impossible for him to return to the laboratory.

When he returned, he found that the power system was short-circuited due to heavy rain, and all the experimental samples he stored in the refrigerator were damaged due to high temperatures.

The next second, he remembered that two years ago, it was also dark like this, and he was planning to leave the laboratory just like today.

However, when he returned the next day, he found that there was a problem with his computer and he started to restart it continuously. Finally, when he smelled a burnt smell, it was already too late. The hard drive was burned and all the experimental data was lost. .

This painful memory that was unforgettable to him was like a desolate battlefield, full of dilapidation and ruins, which made him feel the torment of tearing apart in his heart.

Recalling this, Sam's eyes became complicated and deep, flashing with endless sadness and confusion. His face was pale and his lips were tightly pursed, as if he was trying to suppress the turbulence in his heart.

For Sam, this is soul torture and a shackles in his heart. Whenever people talk about "unlucky Sam", those memories linger in his heart like a ghost, leaving him with nowhere to escape.

At this time, Sam suddenly had a premonition that if he left the laboratory now, he would encounter some accidents like the previous few times, causing the experiment to be ruined.

Once bitten by a snake, he would be afraid of well ropes for ten years, not to mention that Sam had been bitten several times, so he should have a longer memory.

Sam stood at the door of the laboratory, caught in the inner tug. After about ten minutes, he finally made a decision. He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and then resolutely returned to the experiment. room.

Today, even if he stayed up all night, he had to complete the follow-up experiments.

Sam put the positive transformation result into the stem cell culture system, and then began to observe whether this cell could survive in the stem cell system.

That night, Sam stayed in the laboratory and stayed up all night!

Finally, when the early birds chirped outside the window, Sam finally realized that it was daylight.

Sam observed the transformed cells again and found that they were still surviving well.

"Could it be said that the experiment was successful?" This thought popped up in Sam's mind, and he couldn't help but become excited, and the sleepiness he had accumulated before disappeared without a trace.

At around eight o'clock in the morning, other experimenters came to the laboratory one after another. They greeted Sam and went to work. They just thought that Sam came earlier, but they didn't know that Sam didn't go home at all, but stayed in the laboratory all night.

In Western countries or hotter areas, many people will judge whether a person went home yesterday based on the clothes they are wearing.

If he has changed his clothes, he must have gone home. If he has not changed his clothes and is still wearing the same clothes as yesterday, it means that this person did not go home yesterday.

Most Westerners, whether they are white or black, have body odor. If they don’t change clothes for a day, they will definitely smell. It is even more serious in summer, so changing clothes every day is a must.

However, in the laboratory, everyone is wearing white coats, and it is impossible to tell whether you have changed your clothes. Naturally, it is impossible to tell whether you have returned home.

Gradually, everyone arrived, and the other three groups also participated in the experiment.

Sam wandered around the laboratory and began to observe other people's experimental results.

"Bill, how many cells in your group are positive? There are none at the moment!"

"Steve, are there any cells in your group that are positive for cell conversion? No!"

"Anthony, what are the results of your group? Are there any converted cells? No! There are seven gene combinations, but not one?"

After asking about the results of the other three groups, Sam's face showed a hint of joy.

The other three groups all had no samples that were positive for cell transformation, which meant that the only ones that were positive for cell transformation were Oct3/4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc in my own group!

Of the 28 sets of genes, only my own group of cells showed positive transformation. Does that mean that this set of genes is the final answer?

Thinking of this, Sam hurriedly returned to his test bench and observed the positive transformed cells again.

It's still surviving!

"Could it be said that I succeeded? Everyone else failed, but I was the only one who succeeded? There is such a good thing! Such a lucky thing can happen to me!
Could it be that I finally got lucky! I'm not old Unlucky Sam anymore, I'm Lucky Sam now! "

……

Lu Yunxiang passed by the door of the bookstore, took a casual look, and saw a poster posted in the most conspicuous position at the door of the bookstore.

"The new book by the author of "Dead Man Blows Out the Lamp" is officially released!"

Seeing this line of large characters, Lu Yunxiang instinctively thought that Zhang Wei's "Dead Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" series had a new release, so he immediately walked to the bookstore.

After getting closer, Lu Yunxiang saw that there were two big characters below the original line: Santi.

Looking further down, there are four fonts that are much smaller: Past Events on Earth.

"It's actually a new book! I, Weibo, have written a new book again? No, we are in the same dormitory and live together every day. I know best what he does on a daily basis. I haven't seen him coding. Where did he come from? There’s a new book out.”

Lu Yunxiang felt a little strange, so he walked into the academy and saw "Three Ti" in the best-selling section at first glance. He stepped forward and looked through the author's introduction, and found that it was really written by Zhang Wei.

"When did Viagra write this book? He couldn't have hired someone to write it for him, right? I heard that Jin Yong often hired someone to write for him, and he almost ended up writing the story. In the end, Mr. Jin Yong finally got it back.

Regardless of whether it is a ghostwritten work or not, since it is my Viagra work, I have to support it and buy a copy! If you ask Viagra to sign it later, it will be somewhat collectible. "

Lu Yunxiang casually picked up a copy of Three-Body Problem, stood there and thought for a moment, and felt that he should bring a copy to Ye Haotian and the autistic person, so he took two more copies, and then walked to the counter to pay.

"Classmate, this is not a set of three books. The three books you bought are the same." The boss kindly reminded me.

"I know, I brought it for my roommate." Lu Yunxiang replied.

"We are all roommates, why don't we watch it next!" The boss muttered in a low voice, thinking that this is not a blank exercise book. After he has finished it, others can't do it.

"My two roommates have mysophobia!" Lu Yunxiang made an excuse casually, and then asked: "Boss, how are the sales of this book "Three Titus"? Is it selling well? Can it be as good as this author's? A book called "The Dead Man Blows Out the Lamp".

"It's definitely incomparable to "Dead Man Blows Out the Lamp". But after all, this is a new book and has just been released. "Dead Man Blows Out the Lamp" has been on the market for a long time, and its reputation has long been established. There will definitely be more people buying "Dead Man Blows Out the Lamp" Some.

Moreover, "Dead Man Blows Out the Lamp" has already been published in four volumes. Many readers have read the first few volumes and come to buy the subsequent stories. This "Three Tidies" seems to be a series of stories, but only one volume has been published. "The boss said.

"What's the reader's opinion? Is it good?" Lu Yunxiang asked next.

"There is a saying, oh, by the way, there will be ten thousand Hamlets in the eyes of ten thousand readers. Everyone may have a unique understanding and view of the same work.

Different readers will understand the work from different perspectives, experiences and emotions. If you think this book is good, others may not think it is good, so if you ask me whether it is good, it is difficult to say. "The boss said.

"Uh, boss, that original sentence is not 10,000 readers, but 1,000 readers!" Lu Yunxiang reminded.

"Is it a thousand readers? It's okay. There are many Chinese people, so it's no problem to multiply it by ten. That's what it means anyway." The boss had a character that refused to admit defeat and explained forcefully.

"Then tell me, how do you feel after reading this book?"

The boss hesitated for a moment and wanted to speak, but hesitated.

"Okay! You can help me settle the bill first!" Lu Yunxiang said, taking out a hundred yuan and handing it to the boss.

Lu Yunxiang could see that the boss was a Hamlet in his eyes and did not meet Lu Yunxiang's taste. If he didn't buy it again, wouldn't it be a loss of business?

Now that Lu Yunxiang has settled the bill, the boss can finally speak freely.

"To be honest, when I first read this book, I understood the plot clearly, but I didn't understand many settings and descriptions in it. Maybe it's because I majored in liberal arts. Maybe I can understand it if I majored in science. clear.

This book involves many scientific theories and concepts, including physics, astronomy, computer science, etc. The knowledge is too complicated for me to understand. "

"That's okay. I'm a science major, so I should be able to understand." Lu Yunxiang nodded.

The boss continued: "Some readers think that the author's writing style of this book is average. However, the author's writing style is not very gorgeous in the first place, so it can be read even if it is ordinary. However, the plot of the novel advances slowly. Especially in the first few dozen pages of the novel, many readers feel that the content is a bit boring and unattractive.

Several readers reported that there were too many clues that appeared earlier, and the time span was very long. The explanations of different eras and backgrounds seemed vague, and they felt confused when reading. "

"Boss, all you mentioned are shortcomings. Why are there no advantages?"

"Of course there are advantages. This book is excellent in terms of conception and logical reasoning. The author should know science. At least there is a lot of scientific knowledge in it that ordinary people don't understand.

There is also a sense of progression in the storyline. When I first started reading it, I thought it was a mystery novel. And the plot twists are very well designed and unexpected.

I won’t say much about the plot, so as not to spoil it and affect your viewing experience. As for the connotation of the novel, as the saying goes, there are ten thousand Hamlets in the eyes of ten thousand people. "The boss replied.

"So the reviews are mixed?"

"It's normal for there to be mixed reviews. If it's all praise or all criticism, then there's a problem!"

Lu Yunxiang nodded, said goodbye to his boss, and then returned to the dormitory.

After returning to the dormitory, Lu Yunxiang immediately took out a copy of "Three Ti" and started reading.

After all, Lu Yunxiang is also a top academic with a score of 720 in the college entrance examination. His reading comprehension and appreciation of literary works are definitely far beyond the level of ordinary people. And as a science student, he also knows a lot about scientific knowledge.

People with average education may find The Three-Body Problem difficult to understand, but Lu Yunxiang enjoys the content and various settings.

Soon, Lu Yunxiang was deeply involved, and he didn't even notice Ye Haotian returned to the dormitory.

"What are you looking at, so fascinated?" Ye Haotian came over.

"Brother Haotian, when did you come back?" Lu Yunxiang saw Ye Haotian then, pointed to the "Three Tis" in his hand, and continued: "My new book of Viagra has just been released in the past two days. I will go to the bookstore to buy it. I have three copies, one for each of you and Brother specimen."

"Thanks! Don't waste this money next time. I have read the entire series of Dead Ghost Blows Out the Lamp, and I got the electronic version from Zhang Wei." Ye Haotian said.

"It's not the Dead Ghost Blows Out the Lamp series, it's another book called "Three Types", a science fiction novel." Lu Yunxiang explained.

"Science fiction? Trilogy? Zhang Wei also writes science fiction? When did it happen? When did he write it? We are together every day, and we haven't seen any of his novels!" Ye Haotian also looked curious.

"Yeah, I remember that Viagra has been busy in the laboratory a few days ago. Do you think he wrote it secretly in the laboratory?"

"Everyone else is busy doing experiments, but he is writing a novel and coding? Think about it, is this possible!" Ye Haotian complained, and then asked: "How is the writing of this novel?"

"Well written!" Lu Yunxiang's evaluation was simple and clear.

"How wonderful!"

"That's pretty good!" Lu Yunxiang switched to a Northeastern accent.

"You said it, but you didn't say it. Forget it, let me read it myself? Where is my copy?"

"Here you go!" Lu Yunxiang took out another copy of "Three Tis" and handed it to Ye Haotian.

A few minutes later, Ye Haotian was also immersed in the three-body world.

……

"This book "Three Body" has much more connotations than the previous "Dead Ghost Blows Out the Lamp"! After reading it, I felt shocked! Zhang Wei, what kind of things are in his head, can he think of such a wonderful thing? Novel!" Ye Haotian sighed.

The Big Devil is indeed still the Big Devil. Although he has gone to the United States, the novels he left behind are still shocking.

"Brother Haotian, do you think that if basic research is blocked by that sophon, what method should humans use to develop technology and resist the three-body people?" Lu Yunxiang asked.

"How do I know this? I have to ask Zhang Wei. I don't know how he came up with the idea behind it."

"What a pity, Viagra is in the United States now, and it will be a few days until he comes back!"

"Why wait? It's not like he doesn't have his phone number! Just call him and ask him! It should be dawn over there in the United States now!" Ye Haotian said, stretched out his hand, and then said: "Give me your mobile phone."

"Oh!" Lu Yunxiang handed the phone to Ye Haotian, and then asked: "Brother Haotian, where is your phone?"

"My phone is in my pocket."

"Then why don't you use your own phone?"

"I want to chat with Zhang Wei for a while, but international long distance is too expensive."

"With my mobile phone, there is no discount for international long distance calls."

"But you have the phone bill." Ye Haotian said and dialed Zhang Wei's mobile phone number in the United States.

……

Zhang Wei was still sleeping in, and the ringing of his cell phone woke him up. He pressed the call button with a look of helplessness, and Ye Haotian's voice rang out from the receiver.

"Zhang Wei, what happened to the people on Earth?" Ye Haotian asked without asking.

"How are the people on earth? You are not an earthling yourself, you ask me?" Zhang Wei asked in anger.

"I mean, how did the people on Earth resist after the Tribes came?"

"The earth is destroyed, okay, let me sleep for a while!"

"Why don't you sleep? It's already dawn over there. Get up and pee!" Ye Haotian shouted loudly.

Zhang Wei got up from the bed with a look of helplessness, took a sip of water, sobered up a lot, and then asked: "What kind of three-body people are here to fight? You should make it clear!"

"You wrote it yourself, you ask me?"

"What did I write?"

"That three-body Earth past story was not written by you?"

"You mean "Three Tidies"! I wrote it. I just woke up and my mind is not clear." Zhang Wei finally knew what Ye Haotian was talking about.

"Are you awake now? Then tell me quickly, what happened to the people on Earth? Did they resist the invasion of the three-body people?"

"Well, you know the law of the dark forest, right? It probably means that in a dark forest, there are many hunters with guns. They must sneak in the forest like ghosts, trying not to make the slightest sound, so as to avoid being spotted by others. The sharp blade was discovered.

Every hunter, once they find traces of life, regardless of whether the other party is a hunter, they will shoot and eliminate the other party. Therefore, if you want to survive, you must hide yourself, do not expose yourself, and then shoot to eliminate those exposed lives. "

Ye Haotian was mesmerized for a few seconds, and then said: "You mean, the universe is a dark forest, and every civilization in the universe, like a hunter, will be wiped out when discovered? Then the earth has been discovered by the three people If it’s over, isn’t it dead?”

"Think about it again! Don't forget, the three-body people discovered the earth, but the earth also discovered the three-body star!" Zhang Wei reminded.

"So what if we find out? The Earthlings can't defeat him! Wait, that's not right!" Ye Haotian seemed to realize something.

"Have you thought of something?"

"It seems like it is, but it seems like it's not. Let me think about it first and then call you!" Ye Haotian paused and then asked, "By the way, how are you doing in the United States?"

"If you have some conscience, you can still think of me. I'm living a pretty good life. The environment here at Princeton is pretty good, and the academic atmosphere is pretty good," Zhang Wei replied.

"Just don't be happy and miss Shu."

"Don't worry, I have to go back soon. Isn't the college entrance examination coming soon? I have to go back and take the college entrance examination."

"Okay, okay, junior fellow freshman, I'll wait until you come back. Senior brother, I'm going to be a junior in college, so you can just repeat the grade slowly!"

After chatting with Ye Haotian for a while, Zhang Wei hung up the phone, looked at the time, and felt that he could stay in bed for a while and get some sleep.

However, he had just laid down when the ringing of his cell phone woke him up again.

This call is about Sam.

"Sir Zhang, our experiment seems to have been successful! There is a group of cells that are positive for transformation and can survive in the stem cell culture system!"

"How long have you survived?" Zhang Wei asked immediately.

"At the moment, it seems that it is at least overnight! I think the next step is to inject these cells into immunodeficient mice." Sam continued.

"Okay, I'll be there right away!" Zhang Wei stopped sleeping and started scolding him directly from the bed.

"Sir Zhang, there is one more thing." Sam sounded excited and continued: "The four genes that induce induction are Oct3/4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc! This is the combination I am responsible for!
And only the combination of these four genes produced a positive result for cell transformation. The other 27 combinations were all negative and did not achieve the transformation effect. "

"In other words, only your group succeeded? Congratulations, Sam, it seems that your fortune has turned around! You see, our Chinese gods are relatively reliable, right?" Zhang Wei said with a smile.

After putting down the phone, Zhang Wei came to the calendar, looked at the date on it, and silently counted the time.

Now that the experiment has reached this stage, there is only one final step left to achieve success, which is to verify whether IPS cells have the effect of stem cells.

"There is only one last step left. Calculating the time, this project should be completed in time before the college entrance examination!"
