In fact, according to the status of Professor Liu, there is no need to “smash” Lu Zhou.

Being able to have your own lab and do your own projects is better than working for others.

However, nothing can escape the word true incense.

Lu Zhou only used one sentence, let him not say anything to pack things over…

“…I can’t help you in this session, but in the next year, two years later, I promise you to be an academician. There is no big problem.”

For Professor Liu who has no connections outside of the small circle of frozen biology, it is enough to have this promise…

Nanjing Institute of Advanced Studies.

In the biology chemistry institute, a laboratory at the corner.

Some of the equipment here is Lu Zhou acquaintances who have ordered from Germany and the Netherlands, and some of them are simply borrowed from the PLA General Hospital of Basic Medicine, or borrowed.

Although this is not true in terms of procedural, everything can be modified. In particular, after the project team hangs the key project of the Lunar Track Construction Committee, no leader will reject this kind of ruthless performance.

As long as you sign a word, even if it supports the national key projects, this is no different from Bai Yu.

Standing in the lab, Lu Zhou stared at the samples in several pieces of glassware in the refrigerated incubator for a moment, and asked.

“this is?”

Liu Zuobing Professor: “A sample of ancient nematode cells! The research team of St. Petersburg University collected from the tundra of the Alazea River. Because I had a good relationship with the Professor over there, I spent a little money to buy them from them. “”

Lu Zhou asked casually.

“how much is it?”

“Not expensive, just hundred dollars.”

Just hundred thousand dollars…

Buying such a few samples is not cheap.

Lu Zhou is not a mistake, but this is not an endangered species, mainly in the feces of ancient biology. As long as you find the migration route of the ancient biology on the tundra, or the place like the ancient river bed, you can get a bunch of samples when you poke a soil.

I spend a thousand dollars to buy this stuff, I am afraid that even the full funding of other people’s scientific research activities will be rounded up.

It seems to understand Lu Zhou’s sympathy, Liu Zuobing Professor lightly coughed explained.

“Hundred thousand dollars is not expensive! As the saying goes, things are rare, according to carbon isotope detection, about forty thousand years. This kind of thing we want to get, may get the plateau up, not necessarily find it complete……”

Lu Zhou: “I want to focus on it. I don’t know much about ancient biology.”

Liu Zuobing Professor nodded, put on a serious expression and continued.

“This is probably the earliest live biology sample we can get now. After getting a sample containing frozen nematodes from the research team at St. Petersburg University, we took out some of the structurally intact nematode cells and transplanted them into special culture dishes for enrichment. Collecting and discovering a very magical phenomenon.”

I took a step ahead of Lu Zhou and listened to the Zhang Family Fu Professor, who couldn’t help but ask.

“What is the phenomenon?”

Liu Zuobing Professor said with a serious tone: “In 173 culture dishes, 2 observed the resuscitation of nematode cells and resumed normal life activities!”

Upon hearing this sentence, the expression on the face of Zhang Family Fu’s Professor suddenly became wonderful.

“Are you sure you are not mixing in the contaminants? There is no problem with the sample given to you at St. Petersburg University?”

Liu Zuobing Professor continued with a positive tone: “I can be sure that because of their trip to the frozen soil, my student is present.”

“It’s me,” Song Siyuan, standing next to Liu Zuobing’s Professor, raised his hand and looked at the instructor. He said nervously, “The samples were taken by me personally and the photos were there.”

Lu Zhou looked inexplicably and asked: “…that’s why you have to pay 10 million dollars.”

If you dig yourself, why should you give money?

Liu Zuobing’s expression of expression, suddenly became a little awkward.

Fortunately, Zhang Family Fook Professor understands it, lightly coughed said, “It’s like working with the Maozi. They have a hard time, so it’s normal for money. I can look at the sample?”

Liu Zuobing Professor gratefully glanced at him, nodded and said.

“of course can.”

After sampling from the Petri dish with a special dispenser, Liu Zuo Bing Professor’s assistant quickly made the sample into a slide specimen and placed it on the microscope in the laboratory.

Seeing the specimens are done, Zhang Family Fu Professor can’t wait to go forward and look at the microscope carefully.

I saw these precious tiny biology, floating in agar and special nutrient solution, using E. coli as a food, slowly squirming.

After observing it for five or six minutes, he finally removed his face from the microscope and said something with emotion.

“This discovery is in vain… Has St. Petersburg University given you the results of this research?”

“Of course not, thesis is all of them, but I have not continued to cooperate with them in the follow-up research.” Here, Liu Zuobing Professor’s mouth finally evokes a smile, “For example, the retrieval of DNA fragments of nematodes… …I guess they have been doing it all the time, but haven’t seen anything yet.”

Upon hearing this sentence, Zhang Professor immediately got up and asked quickly.

“what have you found?”

“By studying the DNA of nematode samples, we found that on the 18S-rDNA gene fragment, there may be factors that allow them to actively sleep in extreme cold conditions!”

This time it wasn’t just the Zhang Family blessing, even Lu Zhou’s face showed a few surprised expressions.

DNA fragments associated with frozen dormancy!

This discovery is incredible.

Lu Zhou immediately asked, “Are you published in the journal?”

“Not yet,” Liu Zuobing Professor shook his head. “This is only a phased outcome. We determined that the Russians did not find this, so they did not publish it.”

This kind of operation is very common in academia.

Lu Zhou didn’t do it herself, so she said that she understood nodded.

“I know the situation. Now I want to hear your experimental ideas. Can you simply tell me?”

Liu Zuobing, Professor nodded, said openly.

“The 18S-rDNA gene fragment may be the key to solving the cryo-sleep technique. At present, we speculate two possibilities. One is that this 18S-rDNA gene fragment synthesizes a special protein by transcribed RNA, making the cells in extreme climatic conditions. Suspend life activities and maintain the normal structure of the cell body!”

This sounds very exciting.

However, Lu Zhou did not show a clear expression on his face. After thinking for a moment, he said: “But there are still many cell deaths.”

Professor Liu nodded, said the opening.

“Yes, not every and every body can survive, because on the frozen soil they are not only suffering from cold… Of course, these are not the key points, the point is that we have two ideas now.”

After a pause, he walked over to the whiteboard in the lab, drawing two lines on it and writing next to one of them.

“One is to modify the gene fragments that have been validated and insert them into the gene fragments of the living body through genetic editing, so as to achieve dormancy in a frozen environment!”

Lu Zhou thought for a moment and then asked: “What about another experimental idea?”

The marker in the hand points to the narration of another line. Liu Zuobing Professor continues to open: “The other is to use the drug-inducing method to completely immerse the human body in the substance containing the protein. In the slow release agent!”

Zhang Family Blessing Professor: “Like formalin?”

Liu Zuobing Professor nodded: “It can be said, but it is definitely different from Formalin…”

Standing next to the whiteboard, Lu Zhou stared at the two lines and thought for a long time.

After about five minutes, he said.

“It sounds crazy, but I think the latter can give it a try.”

Liu Zuobing Professor nodded.

“I think so too, the method of genetic modification… whether it can be successful or not, the cost is too great.”

And the most important thing is that research involving the modification of human DNA is not allowed by moral ethics.

And unlike the controversial frozen dormancy technology, it is uncontroversial that the ethics of the game is uncontroversial. Whoever does it is anti-human…

This kind of extreme research, let alone he dare not easily pass, I am afraid that even the Foundation Professor will not let him try.

At this time, the sound of knocking at the door came.

After getting permission, Lu Zhou’s office assistant pushed the door open and walked in.

“Professor, someone is looking for you.”

Find me?

Lu Zhou recalled it carefully, didn’t think about the appointment with whom to meet today, so he asked.

“Who?”

The young female assistant’s expression said a little subtly.

“The visitor claimed to be Princeton’s Angus Deton Professor… It seems to be anxious to look at him?”

Angus Deton?

For this name, Lu Zhou is a bit of a impression, vaguely remembered to be an economic Academy.

Although Princeton does not have a business school, it has an economics department and its influence is not low. In particular, theoretical economics ranks quite high in the United States, and many of the lists even stand at the top1 position.

However, Lu Zhou has not studied economics before, so he is not very concerned about this.

Therefore, he really couldn’t think of it. What is the reason for this Angus Professor to visit himself?

Thinking for a while, Lu Zhou said.

“I know, let him wait for me in the reception room for a while.”

Female assistant nodded.

“Okay, Professor.”

After that, she turned and walked outside the corridor.
