Chapter 48 - 1 point short of being too proud
There are many biological experts and professors from other universities here today.
includes seven or eight universities including Tongji, Fuluo, Jiaotong University, Southeast and Jinling.
They all came here deliberately after hearing that someone had successfully modified the aphid gene.
The key point is not aphids, but [genetic modification].
Outsiders are not too sensitive to the term “gene modification” with a certain sci-fi color, but in the biological world, it can be on par with the highest monument of “what is life”.
All topics related to genetic modification will quickly become the focus of attention in the biological world.
It is precisely because of this. When I heard that someone had successfully modified the aphid gene, one can imagine how excited these biological experts are?
If it hadn’t been for the experts and scholars in many universities to receive the news, it’s no exaggeration to say that all the biological experts in China would come back.
Although Zhou Wen knows that genetic modification technology is very important, he still has no more intuitive understanding.
When he saw the ebony heads in the large conference room and the gray-haired scholars in the front row, he was a little confused.
“These people… are all here to attend the defense meeting?”
The undergraduates, masters and doctoral students in the Department of Biology of Jiangzhou University are basically all available.
Soon someone at the scene recognized Zhou Wen, with hundreds of pairs of eyes, looking over.
There was a moment of silence in the conference room, and then there was a “buzzing” conversation.
Xu Shuangyu had already found a good place to sit down, but Zhou Wen bit his head and walked towards the front of the conference room.
A senior who was in charge of the scene saw Zhou Wen coming over and led him to the second row to sit down, and then whispered: “Sit here first, the teacher will come right away.”
Zhou Wen nodded.
After knowing his identity, the experts and professors around looked at him uncomfortably.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Wang Huiyao and the two leaders of the Academy of Biological Sciences came over.
The professors in the front row got up.
“Hello Professor Zhang.”
“Director Qian, it’s been a long time since I saw you, don’t come here without any problems.”
“Professor Zeng, I read the paper you published last time, it is very enlightening…”
A group of experts, professors and leaders touted each other, and then took their seats separately.
The two leaders walked to the podium. Wang Huiyao walked to Zhou Wen and smiled: “Follow 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 at him with a smile.
This is already a lot of face, after all, neither party knew 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…”
“Papa Papa…”
The leader knew that he was not the protagonist today, and he was very acquainted with everything. After giving the welcome speech, he handed the microphone to Wang Huiyao.
Wang Huiyao didn’t have too much nonsense. After a few brief words, he switched the topic into genetic modification.
”Everyone knows that genetic modification is the separation of deoxyribonucleic acid, also known as DNA, from living organisms through biotechnology, and recombination.
Delete or add different chromosomes through various means or technologies, and the modified genes can function in the organism to interfere with the genetic characteristics of the organism…”
After Wang Huiyao introduced the genetic modification concisely and concisely, his conversation turned to his research on the genetic modification technology of rice aphids.
Seriously, if Zhou Wen hadn’t succeeded in modifying the genes of rice aphids, Wang Huiyao would really dare not bring this topic to the table.
Everyone knows that the actual situation is to sell dog meat, but not to expose you, but don’t show your IQ, it is easy to be hated.
Because not every professor can apply for project funding, and many biology professors with poor interpersonal relationships are not doing very well.
Then other people are eating cabbage there, and you are eating meat there, and you are still cheating.
“At present, we mainly use heavy metal chemical drugs to make aphids’ genes mutate…”
Speaking of these, Wang Huiyao blushed a little.
It’s okay to fool some laymen with something, but now the people sitting in the audience are all colleagues, and they are all authoritative experts in the industry. He was really embarrassed to talk about it.
He still needs a face after all.
Wang Huiyao covered his mouth and coughed, and then said, “Then I will ask classmate Zhou Wen to give you a wonderful explanation.”
“Papa Papa…”
There was warm applause in the big conference room.
Zhou Wen stood up and said a little nervously: “Dear leaders, teachers and students, good morning everyone…”
After the opening remarks in Mandarin, Zhou Wen began to explain in English.
Biology is different from other subjects. 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 inheritance is relative rather than absolute, and there are universal variations in nature.
The relative stability of genetic information is the molecular basis for species stability, but it does not mean that there is no difference between individuals of the same species…”
Zhou Wen talked about his idea of modifying the rice aphid gene.
The main thing is genetic engineering, which is currently the most cutting-edge knowledge in the world, and then some genetic cryptography is added to make his words sound unpredictable.
The scene was silent, hundreds of experts, professors and students listened to Zhou Wen’s explanation without blinking.
But 80% of the people are confused at this time and don’t understand what Zhou Wen is talking about.
Among the remaining 20%, although some understood and some of the questions in Zhou Wen’s words were heard, no one raised any questions. These were left to the questioning session before asking.
After Zhou Wen finished his ideas, he did not talk about the experimental process.
Because that is not important, 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 U disk into the projector and start the PPT explanation.
“Look at the big screen, everyone. This is a second-generation aphid sample. Look at the wings. Under the action of heavy metal chemicals, a large number of deformities appeared in them…”
Zhou Wen gave a demonstration of the genetic mutation form of aphids.
Except for Wang Huiyao’s detailed experimental data, everyone at the scene was shocked by the pictures on the PPT.
Such complete genetic modification data are very precious and have a very positive significance for the promotion of genetic engineering disciplines in China.
Of course, the main reason is that the genetic modification is successful~www.mtlnovel.com~ If it fails, then there will be no defense meeting.
No one in this world cares about losers.
At the end of the slide, Zhou Wen released the results of the experiment.
“I added some biological agents to the original heavy metal chemical drugs, and finally succeeded in reducing the reproduction rate of aphids by more than 30%… Please look at the big screen.”
As a group of groups of combined picture data appeared on the screen, there was a noise in the large conference room.
The professors in the front row were all whispering and talking.
There is a look of excitement, strangeness, or doubt on his face.
Except for the professors in the front row, the students in the back are all in awe.
They marveled at Zhou Wen’s rich and solid theoretical foundation, those obscure biological formulas and genetic data, even doctoral students found it extremely difficult.
Besides, Zhou Wen is an undergraduate student?
The three people, Chen Zhiyuan, Lu Niang, and Liu Yukun, who came over to observe, were really curious at this time.
are all good friends who fart and hear the sound. They know Zhou Wen’s English level, they just barely pass the fourth level just like them.
But now, look at this easy-to-use explanation in English. How can this be a level four? It is clearly a TOEFL score of 119.
I’m afraid he is too proud.
“Fuck, when did Lao Zhou secretly learn English? This oral level is simply superb.”
“What is the level of English? Just look at the expressions of the professors in front of you and you will know how much gold is in Lao Zhou’s words.”
“Ohhhhh, do you think Lao Zhou is like the protagonist in the net article, what kind of golden finger…”
