Four Hundred and Fifty-Four: The Impoverished Researcher

Professor Coleman is a biochemistry researcher. The United States is not afraid of you having ideas, but it is afraid that you have no ideas and dare not have imagination.

An imaginative scholar can let others pay for his imagination and then create practice.

But Coleman's biological experimental research has discouraged three investors, and his laboratory base had to be disbanded because of lack of funds.

Over the years, I am afraid that hundreds of millions of funds have been invested in him, and it is not certain that he can bring any economic returns to investors.

Not even the slightest sign.

Since the emergence of VR imaging technology, there was a time when Professor Coleman's biological research was interested by many investors, who all hoped that he could develop breakthrough research on implanting holograms into the human body. Who knew how to put the investment? Everyone is going bankrupt.

In the end, those who wanted to take advantage of the situation had to retreat.

As a result, Professor Coleman's speech today came after he sold pre-heated tickets for several days, but only one person came to listen.

When he saw a person sitting on the surrounding staircase-shaped tables and chairs, he stroked his eyes and was stunned for a long time.

Xu Cheng asked him: "Are you going to stop speaking if I'm alone?"

"No." Koman said: "I'm surprised that there are still people coming. I applied for a lecture before, but no one came. Now I have made breakthrough progress and want to give it again. It's great, at least There is an audience today, shall I start speaking?"

Xu Cheng nodded.

Coman looked at Xu Cheng and asked: "I see that you are Asian, can you understand some English words in the field of chemistry? I mean, do you understand biological research? I'm afraid you won't understand after talking for a long time. It felt boring to go in.”

Xu Cheng smiled and said, "You tell me."

Coleman said: "I have been doing biological research for 20 years. What I mainly do is transplanting human and animal organs to each other, but the premise is that the genes and blood must be consistent to ensure that the cells will not die after transplantation. Suppose I have connected a broken human arm with an orangutan arm, so I have to make sure that the genes, blood and brain of this arm can be linked to respond to the brain’s instructions!”

Xu Cheng asked hurriedly: "Did it succeed?"

Coleman shook his head: "There is a problem that has never been overcome. I have done genetic research between animals, but when human genes are grafted, they will face failure."

"You mean genetic research between animals?" Xu Cheng narrowed his eyes: "Have you ever done genetic research on animals? I mean, fusion of genes?"

Professor Coleman stroked his eyes and looked at Xu Cheng with a hopeful look on his face: "Do you also think that genes can be fused to create wireless possibilities? Oh, what a pity. I have done some animal heart and various organ bridging surgeries. Some After the successful case, I published a report that gene fusion can produce mutations with unlimited possibilities of life. Unfortunately, no one believed me. The Animal Association took me to court and lost a lot of money. Later I also did it There have been some non-human experiments, but there has never been a successful case of bridging the human body. I think since animals can succeed, then humans can naturally succeed, but our method is not right."

Speaking of this, Coman said to Xu Cheng: "It's a bit pale to say this. Why don't you go and visit my laboratory? It's rare to meet someone who is interested in my research."

Seeing that the old man was very enthusiastic, Xu Cheng nodded immediately and decided to go with him to visit his laboratory and ask some vague questions.

But when he arrived at the door, Lin Dong pulled Xu Cheng and said: "Master, this guy obviously wants you to invest in his experiments. He probably took you to the laboratory just to convince you. This kind of scholar is not only fierce in experiments, but also very talkative. Good at it.”

"It's okay. Find a hotel and I'll call you later." Xu Cheng said to Lin Dong.

Lin Dong had no choice but to nod.

After going out, I found out that Coman didn't have a car, and Xu Cheng didn't have a car either, so they had to take a taxi.

Coman smiled awkwardly at Xu Cheng and said, "My money is basically spent on experiments. I seem a bit poor."

Xu Cheng didn't want to discourage his enthusiasm, so he said, "I'm quite poor too."

Coleman smiled: "Do you think I will let you invest in my experimental project?"

At this point, he smiled bitterly: "Actually, I have spent all my savings on finding someone to advertise this speech in newspapers. I am not afraid of your jokes. There is no experimenter who has not been exposed to radiation. I am already seventy." I am many years old, my body and bones are dying. The last time I went to the hospital for a checkup, the cancer was in the terminal stage. I just want to give a speech before I die to vent out what I have studied and share it with others. At least you will be the only one to listen. , I am very pleased that today’s young people like to pursue careers in IT and finance, and the capital kingdom of Silicon Valley is indeed very attractive, so biological research is basically classified as a nondescript career with no future.”

With that said, the car arrived at Coleman's laboratory.

A very shabby and crude basement.

It probably has something to do with Coman's lack of money. Apart from the well-equipped equipment, the entire laboratory is extremely compact and narrow.

"Come in, it's a bit shabby and there's nothing to entertain."

Xu Cheng followed him in and said, "Mr. Coleman, aren't you afraid that I will follow you with ulterior motives?"

"What are you afraid of?" Coleman shrugged: "Look what else is valuable here? To be honest, most people don't want to come in a place like this. There are animal carcasses everywhere and the smell is very strong."

While looking at some of his memos hanging on the wall, Xu Cheng saw many serums and many gene tubes he was researching.

On the table, there is a photo of him and a woman in her twenties.

"Your daughter?" Xu Cheng asked subconsciously.

"My granddaughter." Coman smiled, stroking the photo frame with one hand and said: "My son and his wife are both from the institute. We did experiments together, but because they were infected, they are husband and wife. In life, it is inevitable that they will be infected by each other, and then they will all die. My granddaughter thought I was the one who killed her parents, and she never wants to see me in this life."

The old man wiped his tears and said: "Okay, let's talk about research on this matter. I'm afraid no one will listen to me in the future."

Xu Cheng asked him directly: "What kind of chemical reaction will be produced by the fusion of genes? Have you done any research?"

Coleman nodded: "Yes, and it's amazing. The reason why I think genes can change or fuse is because I discovered it based on the principles of human evolution. Think about it, when land creatures were forced to exploit After entering the water, they can adapt to the water and mutate, so their genes migrate and change into aquatic creatures. Similarly, some land creatures transform into birds. These living natural phenomena in history can tell us that genetic cells can be changed. , and the biggest reason for changing it is that the climate and environment are forced to change. Suppose we find an introduction under a certain climate and principle, can we change all genes?"

Having said this, Professor Coleman seemed a little excited.

Xu Cheng asked him: "Then do you think it is possible for humans to fly?"

Coleman said firmly: "It's possible! It can even be said that people have survived in the amniotic fluid of their mothers since birth. It can be defined as that people can actually survive in water!"

Xu Cheng's eyes narrowed in confusion. It seemed that he might be able to learn something from this old man today.

(Chapter 4 is over. I almost ruined myself during the Chinese New Year. I feel like it’s better to cheer up. Starting today, I’ll keep to the fourth update. I’ll notify everyone if there are any changes. Hey, I know I have no credibility at all, so I’ll keep it half-full for now. Let’s prove ourselves in a month and then talk.)
