Chapter 004: All in One Go
After taking several buses and high-speed trains, I finally returned to Jiangcheng University safely amidst all the trepidation.
Just got off the bus.
"Senior Brother..." The call was as clear as that of an oriole. The bright girl was still so innocent.
Li Qingye nodded: "How are you doing recently?"
The two of them walked while talking to each other.
Liu Xiaoli seemed to sense Li Qingye's inner grief, so she cut to the chase: "I have already given the lab a holiday, and there are only two security guards there."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. My senior brother has helped me so much in the past. I can still do this little thing." Liu Xiaoli replied gently.
Before they knew it, they arrived in front of a teaching building. The girl handed him the key to the laboratory and said goodbye.
Standing at the door of the tutor's office, Li Qingye knocked on the door.
"Come in."
"boss."
"Hmm?" The instructor looked up and saw the bearded, depressed Li Qingye. He sighed slightly in his heart, then smiled and said, "Your visa has been processed, and your flight is on May 22. During this time, you should adjust your mood. There is nothing in life that you can't overcome."
Li Qingye nodded calmly: "Thank you for your concern, boss. I'll go to the company first."
"Go! Don't forget the flight time."
After bidding farewell to his mentor, Li Qingye strolled alone on the path of Luojia Mountain. Only a few petals were left on the cherry trees beside the road.
A breeze blew across my face, and the remaining cherry blossoms on the branches fell gently.
Sit on the bench and watch the flowers fall.
"Life is so fragile!" Li Qingye sighed.
Say final farewell to the passing youth.
Goodbye, Jiangcheng University.
Goodbye, my innocence and youth.
At the subway station, the low-pitched tram slowly stopped and people swiped their cards to get on board. The hustle and bustle inside the carriage was incompatible with Li Qingye, who looked like a homeless man.
Soon the tram arrived at its destination - Jiangcheng South Station.
I took another bus and came to a company located near Xiaogang Village. At the door of an old small factory, there was a plaque with the words "Cai Xin Cosmetics R&D Center".
The security guard at the door was smoking a pipe. Suddenly he saw him coming and walked out hesitantly: "Young man...you are..."
"Lao Wang, it's me." Li Qingye took out the key chain in his hand and shook it.
The security guard Lao Wang finally reacted and quickly opened the door: "Boss, I almost didn't recognize you in this state."
" Well, Lao Wang, nothing happened during this period of time, right?"
Lao Wang thought about it and talked about some trivial matters. Li Qingye casually gave some instructions and went into the laboratory alone.
The entire laboratory covers an area of more than 8,000 square meters and is divided into the first experimental area, the second experimental area, the third experimental area, the living area, the storage area, and the water and electricity control area.
Before, there were more than 20 staff members here, all of whom were temporary workers hired by Li Qingye, including the schoolgirl who helped with management. These people were all students from Jiangcheng University, Jiangcheng University of Technology, and Huazhong Agricultural University.
And Li Qingye’s own experimental area, namely the first experimental area, is only accessible to him.
Before coming back this time, he asked Liu Xiaoli to dismiss the temporary workers in the laboratory and leave only two security guards.
At this moment, he was the only one left in the entire laboratory.
After opening the combination lock of the first experimental area, Li Qingye checked the rows of test tubes in the frozen storage box. 17 Jianmu factors (the enzyme he had synthesized before) were displayed intact in them.
After closing the storage box again, he opened the hard drive and inserted it into the physically isolated desktop computer.
I re-examined the experimental data of the Jianmu factor.
After more than half a year of research, Jianmu factor has actually developed to the second generation. He borrowed some technologies from CRISPR-Cas9 gene editor to improve the controllable performance of Jianmu factor.
CRISPR-Cas9 is a gene editing technology that has emerged in recent years. It can accurately knock out target gene fragments or insert specified gene fragments into gene sequences.
Li Qingye borrowed the CRISPR part of CRISPR-Cas9, which is a special RNA gene sequence whose function is to bind to a specified DNA sequence.
The second-generation technology of Jianmu factors is "CRISPR-JM", which can turn the specified gene sequence into a pseudogene (i.e. lose its function).
According to another previous discovery of his, there are some "restrictor" gene sequences in the human gene sequence. Through the insertion of building block factors, these restrictor gene sequences can be disabled.
After removing the limiter, many abilities can be gained, but it also comes with huge risks. The domestic pigs and mice he used for experiments are an obvious example.
Although the side effects in domestic pigs and mice were reduced in subsequent experiments, the cost was still very huge.
After re-reading the experimental data, Li Qingye was very clear in his mind that with his talent, if he had more than ten years to cultivate it, he might be able to develop a safer and more controllable Jianmu factor.
It's just that he doesn't have time.
It took three days to re-mix the Jianmu factor enough for one person, and also prepared the life-sustaining nutrient solution and experimental bed. Yesterday, I took a laxative to empty my stomach.
Lie on the bed, insert the catheter yourself, and prepare a large bucket to connect the catheter.
Heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature and other detection equipment are also connected one by one, and then the cardiopulmonary resuscitation electrodes are connected to the heart position. The cardiopulmonary resuscitation machine is set to start automatically 30 seconds after cardiac arrest.
An extra-large bottle of special nutrient solution (homemade) is inserted into the vein. This bottle of nutrient solution is enough to sustain life for 15 days.
I closed the oxygen mask, pressed the switches of all the equipment, and checked all the equipment again.
Before that, he also instructed the security guard Lao Wang and two others to pay attention to water and electricity, and if there was a sudden power outage or water shortage, they should immediately start the backup diesel generator.
At the same time, he told them that he would be doing experiments for the next half month and would not see anyone and that no one was allowed to disturb him.
After receiving an additional bonus of 3,000 yuan, Lao Wang and his wife also found each other, and the two of them worked together to look after the gate, water and electricity.
Inside the laboratory.
Li Qingye looked at the Jianmu factor that had just been thawed, discarded all his concerns, and inserted the needle into the vein of his other hand.
Drops of liquid containing the Jianmu factor seeped into Li Qingye's entire body over time.
The CRISPR molecule, which is an RNA fragment, passes through the cell membrane, enters the cell nucleus, and then enters the chromosome, where it combines with a specific gene sequence in the chromosome.
The moment CRISPR combines with human genes, the building blocks factors carried by CRISPR begin to play their role.
The limiter in Li Qingye's genes was damaged.
However, the genes of organisms are extremely stubborn. After being destroyed, the restrictor genes will start to repair themselves.
It is only the existence of the building block factor that disrupts the self-repair of the restrictor gene sequence. Although the genes have been repaired, these gene sequences have lost their original functions.
Countless recessive genes in Li Qingye's genes began to become active.
17 hours later.
"Ahh..." This body seemed to have entered a furnace. He saw that his body temperature had reached 39.5 degrees Celsius, which was a clinical symptom of an inflammatory factor eruption in the body.
Insert hormone and antibiotic injections promptly.
Soon he felt dizzy, his breathing became more rapid, and his blood sugar dropped rapidly.
Fortunately, the life-sustaining nutrient solution prepared earlier was continuously providing nutrition and energy, otherwise he might have been exhausted to death.
The high fever, dizziness, and body aches lasted for two days and two nights.
At the foot of the bed, a dozen empty syringes were lying in a mess on the floor.
Suddenly Li Qingye's heart stopped beating.
drop……
