I can extract side effects

In Kunming City, at the entrance of Sanqing Headquarters.

A taxi slowly parked on the side of the road. The driver lowered his head to grab the order and said, "58.8, pay by scanning the QR code in the back seat."

Sitting in the car was a gentle and handsome young man, wearing a white shirt and black trousers, he looked very refined.

He adjusted his thick glasses on the bridge of his nose, instead of scanning the QR code to pay, he stared at the meter on the car and said, "Your price is not right."

"Oh?" The driver turned around, sneered, and asked ferociously: "What's wrong, it says 24 kilometers on it, the starting price is 9 yuan, and after 3 kilometers, it's 1.8 yuan per kilometer, don't you?" You can’t figure out elementary school math, right?”

The young man took out his mobile phone, pointed to the navigation on the screen and said, "This is even more wrong. I turned on the navigation as soon as I got in the car. It was only 15 kilometers away from Kunming Railway Station."

The driver's eyes flickered, and he said angrily: "The navigation is not accurate, there must be errors on the road, and besides, there are so many traffic lights on this road, there must be a waiting fee."

The young man smiled, leaned back, and raised his legs leisurely: "I have counted all the way along the way. There are 15 traffic lights in total, 10 red lights, and 5 green lights. The waiting time is 10 minutes and 28 seconds."

Before the driver could speak, he continued on his own: "As I said, I turned on the navigation as soon as I got in the car. Before the first traffic light, the mileage was correct and very accurate, but at the first traffic light After a red light, I observed that the mileage on the meter was 600 meters more than that on the navigation.”

"I was curious. I was looking at my phone at the first red light, so I didn't notice it, but I thought it might be an error caused by the waiting time, so I started waiting for the second traffic light."

"After the second traffic light passed, there was still an extra 600 meters. This is very amazing. Even if there is an error, how can the number be so accurate? No more, no less, exactly 600 meters both times."

"The following things are more boring. There are a total of 15 traffic lights, each of which automatically jumps 600 meters, which is exactly 9 kilometers, and 9 kilometers are subtracted from 24 kilometers. It can be matched with my navigation."

"As for why the meter suddenly malfunctioned, I also have a guess in line with objective facts."

He helped the glasses that were sliding up and down the bridge of his nose again, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and said: "As we all know, the numbers on the meter will not only not move by themselves, but will not move so regularly unless someone operates it. Ordinary electronic equipment , only a simple pulse signal transmitter is needed for remote control.”

"Hehe, although you're pretending to be very concealed and you can't see it on the surface, I bet that if you pull out the meter, there must be something extra behind it. And there must be a remote control in your hand."

"I'm right." Having said that, the young man looked at the driver and smiled.

In the eyes of the driver, this smile is as ferocious and terrifying as a devil's smile.

He was stunned and speechless for a long time.

"Hehe, don't look at me like a monster. I'm just more sensitive to numbers and more cautious in doing things."

The young man showed his white teeth and explained thoughtfully.

The driver was stunned for a long time, and then, like a deflated ball, he said with a dejected expression, "You are amazing, this time I will admit defeat, you should get out of the car quickly."

The young man shook his head solemnly: "How can this work? I still have to pay what I have to pay. How can I eat the overlord's meal? Are you looking down on me?"

After speaking, he quickly scanned the QR code to pay.

"WeChat account for 35 yuan."

A crisp sound sounded in the car.

"Exactly 34.6, which rounds up to give you 35."

The young man picked up his backpack and stepped off the car.

He closed the car door with a bang, and turned around and said: "Stop it early, the outsider who gets tricked next time probably won't have such a good temper as me."

"Your sister!" The driver sat in the car, gnashing his teeth: "You think monsters like you are everywhere."

With a sudden step on the accelerator, he roared away.

"Nimma, I will never receive orders from Sanqing again. There are a lot of crazy thieves here."

The young man didn't know the slander behind the driver's back, and walked briskly towards the gate.

At the same time, I muttered to myself: "Hey, I heard that foreigners are easy to be slaughtered in places like train stations. It's true. Fortunately, I was prepared."

Seeing a tall and strong figure from a distance, he quickly waved and shouted: "Brother Que, Brother Que, it's me, I'm here."

Tang Que, who was not far away, also saw him, with a surprised smile on his face: "Xiao Mian, I hope you come back."

The two sides embraced happily as soon as they met.

Tang Que patted his thin shoulder, with a trace of regret in his joy: "You are still so thin. You have stayed in Eagle Country for five years and ate junk food every day. How come you haven't gained any weight?"

After finishing speaking, a mysterious smile appeared on his face: "You are only 20 years old, and you are still growing. You should eat more nutritious and high-protein foods in the future. I happen to have a dairy product with a very high protein content. It tastes delicious and is most suitable for you. is you."

Ding Mian chuckled: "Don't be your cockroach milk."

Tang Que was a little embarrassed: "Actually, it's really delicious. I won't lie to you. People who don't know drink it and say it's good."

Ding Mian shrugged: "You also said that you are someone who doesn't know."

"However, who told you that you are my dearest elder brother, I will definitely give this face."

Tang Que was overjoyed, looked him up and down, and couldn't help asking, "Where's your luggage?"

"Oh!" Ding Mian slapped his forehead suddenly: "Just now, I just pretended to be patronizing, and I forgot to take the suitcase in the trunk. There is a gift my father asked me to bring for you."

"Uh, it's okay, you can call the taxi company and get the driver's phone number." Tang Que comforted.

"Well," Ding Mian nodded, "If he doesn't return it, I'll report him for murder."

"Huh?" Tang Que was at a loss, but he didn't ask any further questions, and led his junior brother to the Sanqing Garden.

The two walked around the Sanqing Garden all the way, completed the entry procedures in the administration department, received the dormitory number, and then walked into the R\u0026D department building.

As soon as he entered the biology laboratory, Tang Que introduced Ding Mian to everyone.

"Everyone, this new colleague is Ding Mian. He was admitted to the junior class of HKUST at the age of 11, and his undergraduate thesis was published in Science at the age of 14. Therefore, he was favored by Professor Thomson of Penn University and invited him to study for a Ph.D. I got my Ph.D. in Biology in 2009.”

There was a sudden burst of exclamation at the scene. Although the employees of Sanqing are all highly educated talents, such resumes are enough to shock people.

Everyone is a top student, and they know very well how terrifying it is for those who can do this.

Ding Mian straightened his back, looked at the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, and showed a confident smile.

"He is only 20 years old this year, and his research field is mainly in the direction of induced pluripotent stem cells. He has joined the newly established iPS stem cell laboratory and is a special talent."

"By the way, he's young, and he's my junior at HKUST, and his father is my high school teacher, so for my sake, everyone, take care of anything, haha."

When Ding Mian heard this, the smile on his face froze.

"Damn it, Brother Que hasn't seen him for a few years, and he still treats me like a kid. He doesn't know, but I'm already a mature and sensible man."

"Don't worry, I have been hiding my strength for many years, and sooner or later I will prove myself here."

There was a flash of firmness in his eyes, he straightened his chest, and once again a just-right smile appeared on his face.

After the introduction, Tang Que brought together the heads of major laboratories and had a small meeting.

"Everyone, regarding the newly established stem cell laboratory, Mr. Wei told me that the main goal is to study autologous organ transplantation. There has not been any major breakthrough in this field. It can be said that there is a long way to go. We need to work together. .”

"Although Ding Mian is a researcher in this field, he is still a newcomer after all and has no achievements, so I will be the person in charge of this laboratory. Of course, I will continue to recruit some talents, first set up the laboratory, and follow up the specific work. , and let him develop it."

"Organ transplantation is a long-term goal. I am afraid it will be difficult to make a breakthrough in the short term. We are also accumulating strength in this area and hope to make achievements."

Tang Que briefly introduced the situation of this new laboratory, then looked at Ding Mian with full expectation.

"What do you think about the work in the lab?"

Ding Mian sat up straight in an instant, he was already ready to deliver his inauguration speech.

So he smiled lightly, and said confidently: "As we all know, regenerative medicine is mainly divided into two parts: bionic organs and organ transplantation. Bionic organs belong to the field of medical devices, and they can only extend life in a short period of time.

"As for me, I embarked on the great avenue of organ transplantation early on, and carried out research in this area."

"At present, the scientific community has three major ideas for organ transplantation. One is xenogeneic organ transplantation, which is to edit the genes of pig embryonic cells, knock out its heart-related genes, and then introduce human heart genes, hoping to give birth to a pig with a human body. A pig with a heart."

"This line of thinking has a clear direction and high feasibility. Its advantages are obvious. Pigs have a short maturity period and can grow from embryos in a few months. Moreover, the genes of pigs and humans are also highly similar. If the technology When mature, there is not much autologous rejection."

"Of course, this technique is also very difficult. First of all, we need to find all the genes related to the heart from the gene pools of humans and pigs. This is a big project that requires us to conduct in-depth analysis and research on individual genes. Basic scientific research is not something that can be accomplished overnight.”

"The second way of thinking is heterogeneous chimera, such as injecting human stem cells into pig or monkey embryos, so as to give birth to monkeys or pigs with human organs in their bodies. The current resistance to this aspect lies in human relations. The whole world is against this. There are strict restrictions on research in this area."

"Restrictions are reflected in two aspects, one is that the chimera of humans and animals cannot have reproductive ability, and the other is that the development of the brain cannot occur, that is to say, it is necessary to ensure that human cells cannot appear in the brain and reproductive system of animals .”

Ding Mian shrugged and said: "Anyway, I'm not optimistic about this line of thinking. I'm very satisfied with the top position of human beings in the food chain. I definitely don't want to make a monkey with a big brain and make a sci-fi event like the rise of the planet of apes." Repeat."

Everyone showed a knowing smile.

"Of course, this is a joke. After all, human beings are not creators. This idea is more difficult at the technical level, and the future is unclear, so I suggest not to waste too much time on this."

"If you have excess energy and want to challenge yourself, you might as well try the third way of thinking, which is the most difficult one - cloning organs from iPS stem cells in vitro."

Ding Mian's eyes glowed brightly, and his speech became faster and faster: "As we all know, mature somatic cells no longer have the ability to divide and can only age and degenerate. However, iPS stem cells have proved that human beings can reverse aging and restart life."

"iPS stem cells, which can come from the most ordinary skin cell, can differentiate into any cell, and undergo division and development, whether it is embryonic cells, hematopoietic stem cells, brain neural stem cells, etc., it is the origin of human beings. "

"It proves that the human species developed from a single cell, experienced millions of years of evolution, and grew into a primate intelligent creature."

"And we will repeat the evolution of human beings, analyze and reveal all the secrets one by one."

"Of course, this technical path is very difficult, no less than climbing to the sky. Human beings still don't know the specific situation of embryonic cells during the ten months of developing into fetuses, and they don't understand the detailed changes that have taken place, let alone Find out what key factors are at play here."

"Only by cracking the whole process, can the embryonic cells differentiated from iPS stem cells be genetically edited to develop into complete organs."

"When this technology is truly mature, human cloning organs will be like planting trees, picking fresh organs from their own cloning tissue cabins, transplanting them into the body, and replacing the broken or aging ones. , so as to maintain youth and health forever."

"And this is the mission of the iPS stem cell laboratory. In five, ten, or even twenty years, I am ready to dedicate my life to this great cause."

"I've finished speaking, you can ask any questions you have."

Ding Mian looked around, showing anticipation, as if hoping that everyone would throw questions at him in the face.

"Wow, what an amazing speech." Williams was the first to applaud: "It's very exciting. I'm looking forward to working with you."

Huang Qin nodded, a little embarrassed. Among the group of people, he had the lowest education, not even a PhD, and felt that he had no right to speak. However, this new laboratory was related to gene-edited pigs, which still made him a little excited.

Jiang Kai nodded slightly, showing a friendly smile.

Wen Renlong folded his hands on his chest, hehe said with a smile: "The idea is not bad, I heard that there is nothing wrong with it, but your tone is not small, it seems like a big cow in the field of stem cells, in fact, these are false , Those who engage in scientific research look at the papers and then look at the results, this is the real deal."

"I don't know where your doctoral dissertation is published? I just want to take a look and weigh your real strength."

Ding Mian's expression changed: "My doctoral dissertation was published in a relatively small journal, and the impact factor is not high, so let's forget it and stop making a fool of myself."

Tang Que was surprised and said, "Xiao Mian, what's going on here? Didn't you publish a top journal like science as an undergraduate thesis? Why do you keep studying and going back?"

There was a trace of mystery on Ding Mian's face, and he said in a low voice: "You don't know that, a genius like me must hide his strength and bide his time when he is studying in the Eagle Country, and he must not show his sharpness too much, otherwise it will be easy to fall behind. Killed himself with a gun. You know."

Tang Que didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Where did you hear it? These are all hearsay, and the authenticity is doubtful."

"Cut, no." Ding Mian cautiously said: "You don't know, just in my first year at Penn University, there was a brother who was going to return to China after finishing his studies, and I went to his farewell banquet, but it didn't work out. He jumped off the building in a few days, can you believe it? It would be strange if there were no ghosts behind it."

"Later, I kept an eye on the outstanding international students of the Eagle Country every year, and collected their relevant data."

His voice became lower and lower, and he half-prostrated on the table, speaking in a hoarse voice.

"According to my research, there are hundreds of talented scientists who died strangely on the eve of returning to China. They all had accidents shortly after expressing their desire to return to China. and die."

"You say, so many living examples, are they all accidents?"

His head shook violently like a miniature windmill.

"No, no, this is definitely not an accident, but a well-planned murder."

"So, you feel that you are also in danger of being assassinated, and you start to dawdle around, refusing to publish papers with technical content?" Tang Que put his hands on his forehead, a little speechless.

"That's right," Ding Mian nodded again and again: "Ever since I discovered this shocking secret, I feel that I am in danger. Everyone looks like a spy with malicious intentions, but don't worry, controlling points is important to me. It's trivial."

"Every time I took the papers and exams, I kept at the upper-middle position, but when it came to the critical moment, I was able to perform beyond the ordinary, and gave my supervisor an impression that it was okay and could be saved, so I successfully graduated with a Ph.D."

"After I graduated, I bought a ticket to return to China at the speed of light, and no one came to test me, hahaha."

Ding Mian laughed happily, with an expression of "I'm such a clever little ghost, come and praise me".

Tang Que fell silent, and the others also looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Clap clap!

However, Wen Renlong felt a sense of sympathy and applauded vigorously.

"Good guy, you did a great job! According to what you said, it's not easy to come back smoothly. I don't need to read your thesis, I know that you, brother, can get along."

Tang Que coughed lightly, looked at everyone with a look of "everyone give me some face", and said.

"Okay, I got to know Xiao Ding today, and we will be colleagues in the future. I hope you have a pleasant cooperation."

"The situation in the new laboratory is like this, the meeting is adjourned!"

Hey, I'm in good shape tonight. I wrote 5000 words, which can be regarded as making up for what I owed last night.
