Chapter 364 It’s Quite Unique for You Geniuses to Threaten People! (5K Votes Requested, Please Follow Up)

The most critical feature of spores is that they are difficult to kill.

In terms of resistance to heat, chemical drugs and radiation, it is difficult to have any rivals.

It is recorded in some documents that spores can survive for thousands of years regardless of martial ethics.

What’s even more outrageous is that active bacterial spores were found in a piece of bee amber that is 25 to 40 million years old.

Precisely because it was extremely difficult to eliminate, doubts appeared on the faces of foreign experts when they saw that Luo Yao and his team synthesized a new type of antimicrobial peptide more than two months later.

"Academician Luo, I'm not questioning you, I just think that spores are inherently difficult to kill. These are spores produced by Martian bacteria, so it should be even more difficult to eliminate them."

Luo Yao said calmly, "Spores are indeed a very tenacious life form, especially those produced by Martian bacteria. They may have special mechanisms that we have not yet understood, but precisely because of their difficulty in killing, we need to find new ones." ways to deal with it.”

"Otherwise, you don't want to just sit back and die after being infected, right?"

Foreign experts nodded fearfully.

Luo Yao pointed to an instrument in the laboratory and continued to explain: "The new antibacterial peptide we synthesized was obtained through my calculations, design and many experiments. It is highly specific and powerful. Antibacterial activity, able to attack the specific structure of spores."

The foreign expert frowned, as if he was not completely satisfied with Luo Yao's explanation.

calculate?

Can antimicrobial peptides be calculated?

The foreign expert frowned, obviously confused by the "calculation" part mentioned by Luo Yao.

He asked doubtfully: "Academician Luo, can you explain in detail how antimicrobial peptides are calculated? As far as I know, the design and synthesis of antimicrobial peptides usually involve complex biochemical processes, which require continuous experiments. and screening, rather than simple calculations can be done.”

Luo Yao smiled and nodded, and patiently explained: "You are right, the design and synthesis of antimicrobial peptides is indeed a complex biochemical process, but in this process, we can use computational biology methods to Prediction and optimization of potential antimicrobial peptide sequences.”

He further explained: "I only need to use the information of the known antimicrobial peptide sequences and spore structures to conduct sequence alignment and pattern recognition through bioinformatics tools. In this way, I can initially screen out candidate sequences with potential antibacterial activity. .”

"Next, I will perform preliminary calculations. After the calculation is successful, I will use computer simulation technology to simulate and predict the interaction between the candidate sequence and the spore structure."

"With this method, we can evaluate the affinity and inhibitory effect of different sequences on spores, thereby further screening antimicrobial peptide candidates with higher specificity and potency."

When foreign experts heard this, they asked eagerly: "Is this antimicrobial peptide effective against spores of Martian bacteria? Do we have enough evidence to support it?"

Luo Yao nodded and said confidently: "We have conducted a series of in vitro experiments and preliminary animal experiments with brain-computer devices. The results show that this antibacterial peptide has a significant inhibitory effect on the spores of Martian bacteria and can inhibit bacteria." Protein synthesis plays a bactericidal effect.”

When the foreign experts heard this, they all became curious about Luo Yao's brain.

Can antimicrobial peptides be derived through calculation?

If Luo Yao hadn't been younger than them, they would have made an appointment to study Luo Yao's brain in the future.

"It's a pity that there is no opportunity for cryonics now. Otherwise, I would have to freeze myself to see how future generations will study Academician Luo's brain."

In response to the straightforward speeches of foreign experts, Luo Yao temporarily classified this as a "compliment."

After Cruz and three other people received injections of antimicrobial peptides, all the experts stayed in the laboratory waiting for the results.

Time passed by minute by second, and everyone's heartbeat seemed to be synchronized with the second hand. They were so nervous that they could almost hear their own breathing.

They know that the results of this experiment will be directly related to whether humans can find an effective means to combat spores generated by Martian bacteria.

Finally, after a long wait, a series of data began to appear on the display screen in the laboratory. These data were records of changes in various physical indicators of Clouse and others after the injection of antimicrobial peptides. Experts stared at the screen for fear of missing any detail.

As the data continued to be refreshed, they were pleasantly surprised to find that the physical indicators of Cruz and others were gradually returning to normal. In particular, those indicators related to bacterial infection have dropped particularly significantly, which means that the antimicrobial peptides are working and successfully inhibited the activity of Martian bacterial spores.

"The Cruz brain-computer device has been activated, the spore content in the body has been significantly reduced, and no adverse reactions have been found!"

"Tucker and Carter's brain-computer devices have not been activated, and the spore content in their bodies has declined slower than Cruz's. No adverse reactions have been found!"

There was a burst of cheers in the laboratory, and all the experts hugged each other and cried with excitement. They knew that this moment was the result of their years of hard work, and it was also a major breakthrough for mankind in the fight against Martian bacterial spores!

"Gong Luo, do you want to replace the brain-computer devices for Tucker and Carter now?"

"No, now is not the time." Luo Yao said slowly, his voice echoing in the laboratory, "We need to conduct a more in-depth observation and analysis of Cruz's situation first to ensure that the effect of the antimicrobial peptide is stable and lasting."

He paused and continued: "Although the spore content in Tucker and Carter's bodies declined slower than that of Cruz, since no adverse reactions were found, this means that the antimicrobial peptide is also effective for them. However, we need to further Understand the reasons for the differences in this effect.”

There was another reason Luo Yao didn't say.

There is no problem with the brains and computers of these two people. If he decides to change them without authorization, Shan Xing and others will definitely whisper in his ears.

Who wants to cause trouble for themselves at this time?

When Luo Yao finally prepared to take a rest, a researcher found him.

"Gong Luo, are you available?"

Luo Yao raised his head and looked at the other person. He remembered the other person's name.

Peng Shan.

A very smart girl.

In the past, when he gave orders, the girl never had to ask Luo Yao to repeat them a second time.

Because of this, Luo Yao remembered the other party's name.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Peng Shan walked into Luo Yao's office and said, "Academician Luo, I discovered a strange phenomenon."

Peng Shan said and handed over the information in her hand.

"I originally planned to tell you two months ago, but at that time the whole team was studying new antimicrobial peptides, so I didn't say it."

Luo Yao took the information handed over by Peng Shan, frowned slightly, and started reading with concentration. He knew that Peng Shan was a serious and responsible girl who was meticulous about her work. Since she said she had discovered a strange phenomenon, there must be a reason.

"Strange phenomenon?" Luo Yao asked while flipping through the information, "Is it research on antimicrobial peptides?"

Peng Shan shook her head and said, "No, it's about the time when the three Mars exploration team members had headaches. When I did a routine test, I found that the time when they had headaches was surprisingly similar."

Luo Yao stopped what he was doing and looked at the information handed over by Peng Shan, feeling an uneasy premonition in his heart.

He knew that headaches were not uncommon among Mars exploration team members, but if the headaches occurred at surprisingly similar times, it might mean there was some unknown pattern or reason behind them.

"Are you sure that the similarity in time is not a coincidence?" Luo Yao asked in a deep voice.

Peng Shan nodded: "I have repeatedly checked the data, and it is indeed not a coincidence. The headaches of Cruz, Tucker and Carter are all concentrated in the morning, and within almost the same time period."

"Kluth, Tucker and Carter are all in separate wards, so they probably don't know when each other's headaches occur."

"Academician Luo, what should we do next?" Peng Shan asked.

Luo Yao thought for a while and said: "We need to investigate this issue more deeply. First, conduct detailed physical examinations on the three team members, including examinations of the nervous system and endocrine system. At the same time, we must also strengthen environmental monitoring to see if there are any What environmental factors caused the timing of their headaches to coincide."

He paused and continued: "In addition, you can check their daily activity records to see if there are any similarities or abnormalities. At present, we need to start from all aspects to find the root cause of this strange phenomenon."

"receive."

After Peng Shan left, Luo Yao kept staring at the information in his hand.

05:09.

05:07.

05:05.

…

Luo Yao looked at this string of numbers and always felt a little strange.

He had a hunch that there should be some pattern in this string of numbers, but he didn't know what it was.

Unable to figure it out, Luo Yao had to put the question aside for now.

After the Martian bacteria had been removed from the bodies of the three Mars exploration team members, China announced the news.

When China announced that the Martian bacteria had been eliminated from the bodies of the three Mars exploration team members, the people on the Blue Star were as excited as if they had won a battle!

At China's space center, reporters flocked to the press conference, their camera flashes flashing and recording equipment buzzing.

"Hello, fellow journalists! We are happy to announce that through the unremitting efforts of the scientific research team, the Martian bacteria in the three Mars exploration team members have been successfully eliminated!" the person in charge of the Chinese Space Administration said excitedly.

Reporters raised their microphones one after another and rushed to ask questions.

"What is the technology used to remove Martian bacteria this time? Can you reveal it?" a reporter asked eagerly.

The person in charge smiled and said: "This technology was pioneered by Academician Luo Yao and a new type of antibacterial peptide was developed."

After hearing this, a foreign reporter asked politely: "Is it really Academician Luo who took the lead in breaking this?"

"I remember that Chou and other countries sent many microbiology experts. As far as I know, Academician Luo is not in this field,"

As soon as the foreign reporter finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene instantly became tense.

The person in charge of the speech at the Chinese Space Administration frowned slightly, but did not show too much dissatisfaction. She knew that in the context of international cooperation, doubts and competition between countries are inevitable.

What's more, Luo Yao is so popular that it's normal for the other party to be jealous.

The person in charge took a deep breath and replied calmly: "As for the technology to eliminate Martian bacteria this time, it is indeed the key role played by the new antimicrobial peptide developed by the team led by Academician Luo Yao."

"Although Academician Luo is not an expert in the field of microbiology, he has rich experience and profound attainments in interdisciplinary research. His team integrated knowledge and technology from multiple disciplines and successfully developed this new type of antimicrobial peptide .”

The foreign reporter was obviously not satisfied with this answer. He continued to ask: "But experts from Chou and other countries also participated in this study. What is their contribution?"

Foreign reporters obviously want the other party to recognize the contribution of foreign experts.

Of course the person in charge knew what the other party meant. She smiled slightly and explained: "International cooperation is an important driving force for scientific and technological progress."

"In this study, experts from Chou and other countries did provide valuable experience and suggestions. Their professional knowledge and technology played an important supporting role in our research."

"However, the final results were achieved by Academician Luo Yao's team. This does not deny the contributions of other countries, but the efforts and results of Academician Luo Yao's team cannot be ignored."

"According to the original words of foreign experts, without the leadership of Academician Luo, this research and development of antimicrobial peptides would never have gone as smoothly as imagined."

When the foreign reporter saw that the other party was not fooled, he said reluctantly: "I hope this is the truth, otherwise it would not look good if Academician Luo pretended to take credit."

Faced with questions from foreign reporters, the person in charge of the Chinese Space Administration did not appear angry or dissatisfied. Instead, he responded with a smile: "We respect every expert and scholar who participated in the research, and their contributions are indispensable. As the leader of the team, Academician Luo Yao’s contribution is significant.”

She paused and continued: "As for the statement of 'taking credit' that you mentioned, I think I can understand your concerns. In scientific research, it is very important to ensure that the contribution of each participant is fairly recognized. of."

"But in Academician Luo's words, he doesn't even bother to do such a thing."

"With his achievements, there is no need to compete for this credit."

"Maybe others care about this, but Academician Luo doesn't take it to heart."

The choked foreign reporter finally shut up.

The Chinese people who were watching the live news were also happy.

"Don't believe it's our Academician Luo's credit? Then just don't use our technology in the future!"

"These reporters are tough talkers. Their experts will teach them how to behave!"

"Foreign reporters always show a kind of clear stupidity. He should be lucky that it is not Academician Luo Yao who is speaking on it!"

"They always think we are easy to talk to. Do they really think we are the same as rabbits?"

While the Internet was quarreling, Luo Yao took a rare trip back home.

At this time, Luo Zhu and Wang Ye were married, but Luo Yao was unable to attend the wedding because of his research and development work.

When they heard that he was going back this time, Luo Zhu and Wang Ye prepared meals early.

"Wang Ye, why are you still cooking?" Luo Yao entered Luo's house and while walking around, he saw Wang Ye busy in the kitchen.

"Boss, aren't you kidding me?"

“Who will cook if I don’t cook?”

"Let my mother-in-law and Luo Zhu cook?"

While Wang Ye skillfully stir-fried the vegetables in the pot, he turned around and smiled at Luo Yao: "How can I do that? How can I let them enter the kitchen? Besides, my cooking skills have been trained, and I guarantee that they will be better than others." The restaurants outside are quite delicious.”

Luo Yao looked at Wang Ye's confident look, looked into the pot, and smiled rarely: "You are really thoughtful, but having said that, your craftsmanship is indeed not bad. I remember we lived together before. At that time, you were still a novice in the kitchen."

Wang Ye chuckled and said, "You didn't understand at that time. Now that you're married and have a family, you naturally have to learn these things. As you know, Luo Zhu is busy with work, so what if I don't share more of her work?"

Luo Yao nodded, admiring Wang Ye a little more in his heart.

He walked to the kitchen door, looked at Wang Ye's skillful movements, and suddenly said: "Wang Ye, you have really changed a lot during this time."

Wang Ye stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Luo Yao, with a hint of seriousness in his eyes: "Boss, I must shoulder the burden of the family when I get here, so that you and Luo Zhu can carry out scientific research with peace of mind."

Luo Yao stared at Wang Ye for a few seconds and said, "With such a high level of ideological awareness, have any leaders from above talked to you?"

Wang Ye smiled awkwardly.

"As expected, you saw through it."

"When I was just getting ready to get married, I didn't know it would be so difficult to enter a genius' family!"

“Bosses of all sizes have talked to me no less than a dozen times.”

Wang Ye smiled bitterly and continued: "They talked to me about family, responsibilities, and the future. To be honest, I was really a little confused at that time. It felt like I was suddenly thrown into another world."

"I also figured it out later. They talked to me so many times because they actually wanted me to know that starting a family and starting a business is not just a matter for two people, but also a responsibility to the entire family and society. I can no longer just care about it as I did before. For myself, I have to work hard for this family and our future."

"What's more, you and Luo Zhu are both pillars of the country, how dare I lose my position!"

"My boss also warned me about work style issues. How could I dare to commit such a problem?"

Luo Yao agreed and said: "Indeed, if you dare to offend, I will throw you on Mars."

Wang Ye:......

It's quite unique for you geniuses to threaten people!

Wang Ye decided to add more chili peppers to the dish to show his brother-in-law how powerful he was.

When eating, Luo Yao is not afraid of spicy food at all.

Wang Ye watched Luo Yao eating with gusto, and Xiao Jiujiu's heart was instantly shattered.

"Wang Ye and I are going to climb the mountain to watch the sunrise tomorrow morning. Xiaoyao, are you going?" Luo Zhu asked.

"Climb the mountain to watch the sunrise? Why do you suddenly think of watching the sunrise?"

Luo Yao asked puzzledly.

What's so good about a sunrise in his opinion?

Isn't it the phenomenon caused by the Blue Star's rotation from west to east?

There was a trace of confusion between Luo Yao's eyebrows.

Looking at Luo Zhu's expectant eyes, he hesitated for a moment, thinking that he would be free tomorrow, so he asked: "When will you leave?"

"It's three o'clock in the morning. Tomorrow's sunrise will be ten past five."

When Luo Yao heard this, he was about to say something when he suddenly realized something in his mind.
