Supreme Pharmacist System Chapter 48: I’m afraid he’s too proud
There are many biology experts and professors from other universities in the second teaching building today.
Including seven or eight colleges and universities including Tongji, Fuqi, Jiaotong University, Southeast and Jinling.
They all came here on purpose after hearing that someone had successfully genetically modified aphids.
The key point is not the aphids, but the [genetic modification].
Laymen are not too sensitive to the word "genetic modification" with a certain sci-fi color, but in the biological world, it can be on an equal footing with the highest monument of "what is life".
Any topic of genetic modification will quickly become the focus of attention in the biological world.
It is precisely because of this that when you hear that someone has successfully modified aphid genes, you can imagine how excited these biological experts are?
If it weren't for the fact that many experts and scholars from colleges and universities hadn't received the news, it is no exaggeration to say that biological experts from all over China would come back.
Although Zhou Wen knows that genetic modification technology is very important, he still does not have a more intuitive understanding.
When he saw the dark heads in the large conference room, and the gray-haired scholars in the front seat, he was a little confused.
"These people...are all here to attend the defense meeting?"
Basically, all the undergraduates, masters and doctoral students from the Department of Biology of Jiangzhou University are here.
Soon someone at the scene recognized Zhou Wen, and hundreds of pairs of eyes glanced at him.
The meeting room was silent for a while, and then there was a "humming" conversation.
Xu Shuangyu had already found a seat and sat down, while Zhou Wen bit his head and walked towards the front of the conference room.
A senior in charge of the scene saw Zhou Wen coming, led him to a seat in the second row, and then whispered, "You sit here first, the teacher will be here soon."
Zhou Wen nodded.
After knowing his identity, the experts and professors around him stared at him and looked at him very uncomfortable.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Wang Huiyao and the two leaders of the Academy of Biological Sciences came over together.
The row of professors sitting in the front got up one after another.
"Hello, Professor Zhang."
"Director Qian, long time no see, stay safe."
"Professor Zeng, I read the paper you published last time, it's very inspiring..."
A group of experts, professors and leaders praised each other, and then took their seats.
The two leaders walked towards the podium. Wang Huiyao walked to Zhou Wen and smiled, "Come with me."
Zhou Wen got up and followed Wang Huiyao to the podium.
When the two leaders on the stage waited for Zhou Wen to come over, they nodded to him with a smile.
This is already a lot of face, after all, the two sides did not know each other before.
Then the leader sitting in the main seat patted the microphone and said, "First of all, on behalf of the School of Life Sciences of Jiangzhou University, I welcome all my colleagues to come..."
"Clap clap clap..."
The leader knew that he was not the protagonist today, and he was very sensible. After giving the welcome speech, he handed the microphone to Wang Huiyao.
Wang Huiyao didn't have too much nonsense. After a few simple words, he cut the topic into genetic modification.
"Everyone knows that genetic modification is the separation and recombination of deoxyribonucleic acid, commonly known as DNA, from living organisms through biotechnology.
By deleting or adding different chromosomes by various means or techniques, the modified genes can function in the organism to interfere with the genetic characteristics of the organism..."
After Wang Huiyao's brief introduction to genetic modification, he turned to the genetic modification technology of rice aphids that he researched.
Seriously, if it wasn't for Zhou Wen's successful genetic modification of rice aphids, Wang Huiyao would not dare to bring this topic to the table.
Everyone knows that the actual situation is to sell dog meat with a sheep's head, just not to expose you, but don't show your IQ, it's easy to be hated.
Because not every professor can apply for project funding, many biology professors with poor interpersonal relationships are not doing well.
Then other people are eating cabbage there, and you are eating meat in big mouths, and you still slap your mouth. Isn't this just looking for smoke.
"At present, we mainly use heavy metal chemicals to mutate the genes of aphids..."
Speaking of this, Wang Huiyao blushed.
Some things are okay to fool a layman, but now the people sitting under the stage are all peers, and they are all authoritative experts in the industry. He is really embarrassed to talk about it.
After all, he still needs a face.
Wang Huiyao covered his mouth and coughed, then said, "Then I will invite Zhou Wen to give a wonderful explanation for everyone."
"Clap clap clap..."
The large conference room burst into applause.
Zhou Wen stood up and said nervously: "Dear leaders, teachers and classmates, good morning everyone..."
After the opening remarks in Mandarin, Zhou Wen began to explain in English.
Biology is different from other disciplines. There are a lot of English words in it, especially genetic engineering, many of which cannot be translated in Chinese at all.
"First of all, please remember a concept, which will help you understand what I am going to say next.
The conservation of heredity is relative rather than absolute, and there are still common variations in nature.
The relative stability of genetic information is the molecular basis for the stability of species, but it does not mean that there is no difference between individuals of the same species..."
Zhou Wen talked about his idea of genetic modification of rice aphids.
Mainly it's genetic engineering, which is the most cutting-edge knowledge in the world, and then some genetic code is added, which makes his words sound unfathomable.
The scene was silent. Hundreds of experts, professors and students listened to Zhou Wen's explanation without blinking an eye.
However, 80% of the people were stunned at this time and couldn't understand what Zhou Wen was talking about.
Among the remaining 20%, although some of them understood and heard some questions in Zhou Wen's words, no one questioned them, and it was not too late to ask these questions.
After Zhou Wen finished explaining his ideas, he did not talk about the experimental process.
Because that doesn't matter, everyone is waiting to see the results of the experiment.
Zhou Wen took out the USB flash drive from his pocket and walked to the projector in the corner.
Insert the USB flash drive into the projector and start the PPT presentation.
"Everyone, please look at the big screen. This is a sample of the second generation of aphids. Look at the wings. Under the action of heavy metal chemicals, a large number of deformed children have appeared in them..."
Zhou Wen gave a demonstration of the mutant form of aphids.
Except for Wang Huiyao who has seen the detailed experimental data, everyone at the scene was shocked by the pictures on the PPT.
Such complete genetic modification data is very precious and has a very positive significance for promoting the discipline of genetic engineering in China.
Of course, the main reason is that the genetic modification is successful~IndoMTL.com~ If it fails, then there will be no defense meeting.
No one in this world cares about losers.
At the end of the slideshow, Zhou Wen released the experimental results.
"I added some biological agents to the original heavy metal chemicals, and finally succeeded in reducing the reproduction rate of aphids by more than 30%... Please watch the big screen."
There was a commotion in the large conference room as a group of data combined with pictures appeared on the screen.
Everyone in the front row of professors whispered and talked a lot.
A look of excitement, strangeness, or suspicion on his face.
Except for the professors in the front row, the students in the back were all in awe and admiration without exception.
They were amazed at Zhou Wen's rich and solid theoretical foundation, those obscure biological formulas and genetic data, even doctoral students felt extremely difficult.
Besides, Zhou Wen is an undergraduate student?
The three people Chen Zhiyuan, Lu Niang, and Liu Yukun who came to audition were really curious at this time.
They are all good friends who hear the sound of farting. They know Zhou Wen's English level very well. Like them, they barely passed the fourth level.
But now, look at this easy-to-follow full English explanation, which is the level of the fourth level, it is obviously the level of TOEFL 119 points.
I'm almost afraid he's too proud.
"Fuck, when did Lao Zhou secretly learn English? His spoken English is really top-notch."
"What is your English level? You can see how high the value of Lao Zhou's words is by looking at the expressions of the professors in front of you."
"Ahhhh, do you think that Lao Zhou is like the protagonist in the online article, he has got some kind of golden finger..."
