Chapter 2388 More Professionals

Nanston Chira may have a good impression of Chen Zhao.

Or maybe he wants to study his family of sharks and dolphins.

So although his attitude was a bit arrogant, it wasn't that he wanted to be disrespectful to Chen Zhao.

But his character is like this. To put it simply, he has low EQ and high IQ.

Speak without considering other people's feelings.

Although it was quite uncomfortable to communicate with Nanston Chira.

However, Chen Zhao had no intention of developing any friendship with him.

"Where do you live? I'll take you home."

Neither of them was polite to Chen Zhao.

Send Nanston Chira home first.

"Izak, where do you live?"

"115 East Main Street."

Isaac was silent for a while and said, "Mr. Chen, do you run a pharmaceutical company?"

"No." Chen Zhao responded calmly.

"Mr. Chen, Professor Nanston still didn't explain something clearly before." Isaac said meaningfully.

Chen Zhao drove the car and glanced at Isaac from the corner of his eyes: "Oh? Is there anything you didn't say clearly?"

"Although he is an expert in marine biology and even the best researcher in marine biology, he is not the most proficient expert in marine molluscs."

"Are you?" Chen Zhao asked.

"I'm more proficient than him." Isaac said confidently.

"Professor Nanston said before that it is theoretically possible to mutate octopuses through artificial stimulation. However, due to the destruction of recessive genes, it will cause functional necrosis and cannot survive for a long time."

"Well, Professor Nanston did say that. Is there something wrong with what he said?"

"There is no problem, but it is not unsolvable."

"How to deal with it?"

"Just like a human individual, if he suddenly changes his lifestyle, habits, or even eating habits, the human individual will develop symptoms or even die. This is especially true for octopuses. Of course, the mutations we are discussing are more intense and Radical methods, so the octopus is almost unable to survive. If you want the mutant genes to continue, it can only be through reproduction, just like the survival of the fittest in the theory of evolution. After more than ten generations of reproduction, the mutant genes become stable. , then new species will also appear."

"You are talking about relying on reproduction to stabilize genes. There is a big flaw in this. The first-generation mutants can be cultivated into the second-generation mutants by extracting sperm bags and artificial breeding. However, the second-generation mutants The genes are definitely still in an unstable stage, can they survive to maturity, let alone more than ten generations of reproduction?”

"The octopus can lay up to 100,000 eggs at a time. Among these 100,000 eggs, there will always be a few second-generation mutants that can survive. This is a matter of probability, because the huge number increases the chance of the experiment being successful. If it is Ordinary mammals or animals that lay fewer eggs will be much more difficult," Isaac said: "These small numbers of surviving second-generation mutants can then be bred into the third and fourth generations, and the survival rate of their offspring will be higher. It will gradually improve, and its genetic stability will gradually improve, and it will eventually become a completely new species.”

"It sounds like it is possible to implement it, but what about the actual implementation?"

"Of course, actual operation cannot be as simple as theoretically. This requires the accumulation of huge research and experimental data."

"It looks like you have experience with this type of experiment."

"It's not me, it's my senior, Professor Nanston's assistant, Hormethius. When I first came to the Institute of Marine Biology five years ago, I was assigned to work under Hormethius. He was the one doing research. I am an expert on marine molluscs. I worked under Homethius for a year. During this period, I was exposed to a large number of experiments and data on this type of research. I was even familiar with the entire process, but later I didn’t I know why, but Professor Nanston had a conflict with Hormethius. They had a violent quarrel in the office. Later, Hormethius angrily left the institute with his experimental data, and I replaced Hormethius. Mathews' position as Professor Nanston's assistant."

"Huh? Have you had any contact with Homethius in these years?" Chen Zhao asked.

"In the past two years, Homisius was looking for investors who were willing to fund his continued research. At that time, I could feel his loss. He looked for many people, but failed to attract investment. , there seemed to be a turn for the better in the second year, when I could feel the changes in his tone and mood. Later, he invited me to resign from my current job, return to him, and continue to be his assistant, but I Refused."

Chen Zhao glanced at Isaac. He probably knew who Isaac was.

Although he has not had much contact with him, Isaac's profit-oriented character has been clearly revealed.

Although pure scientific researchers like Nanston Chila are more worthy of people's respect.

But in reality, people like Isaac are more comfortable.

They know how to get along with people without being off-putting.

For Isaac, it doesn't matter who he works as an assistant, there is no difference.

Why would he give up a relatively stable Nanston Qila and choose a Homethius whose future is still uncertain.

This is not an academic question, but a practical question.

Nanston Chira did not give up on him, and Homethius also hoped that he could continue to be his assistant.

This all shows that there is no problem with Isaac's ability.

"Later he told me that his research had attracted the attention of investors, he had received investment, and he had formed his own research team. I was very happy for him. After several contacts, he told me that his research He needed to keep it secret, so he would not be able to contact me stably. After that, our contact decreased. In the next three years, I only contacted him twice. Once he sent me blessings at Christmas, and he also Once he complained that he had no right-hand assistants and that his assistants could not understand his intentions at all. "

As he said that, Isaac couldn't help but glance at Chen Zhao. He said the last sentence deliberately, as if to prove his worth.

"Do you know who invested in his research?" Chen Zhao asked.

"I don't know. He said this is also a clause in the confidentiality agreement."

"Then do you know where his research institute is?"

"have no idea."

"Do you have his contact information now? Or his home address."

"I know where his home is, but I'm not sure if he still lives there."

Chen Zhao looked at Isaac: "Can I ask a very realistic question?"

"Please say."

“In terms of your expertise, how do you translate your expertise into economic effectiveness.”

"Farming and cultivation, this is currently the most widely used field of my expertise."
