Xueba's life simulator

Chapter 227 The Plan Begins

"You don't want to call me the director now, you can just call me Professor Su, or any other title that you think is more familiar.

You just said that there are follow-up plans? "

Su Xueming first asked Zhou Ming to change his address, and then asked Zhou Ming.

"That's right, although the artificial in vivo environment was successfully constructed later, it is far from enough to apply it to organ transplantation.

As you said before, after successfully constructing an artificial in vivo environment, it will take a very, very long time to use this environment for cloning and make stem cells differentiate and grow into the organs we want. This is the follow-up plan.

There is also the genetic problem you mentioned before. Although it is very simple to solve this problem, you only need to use genetic technology to remove the problematic gene or make it not expressed. It will be mentioned in the later plan .

However, no matter whether the solution to these problems is simple or difficult, it will take time and energy, and this is what we will do in the future.

Our goal in the first stage is to quickly grow a few fixed desired organs. "

Zhou Ming said to Su Xueming.

What Zhou Ming said is exactly the development direction of organ cloning in a certain period of time in the future.

In the future, with the continuous development of biotechnology, organ cloning will develop several directions according to its different functions.

One is organ cloning that combines mechanical and biological methods, using biotechnology to clone the most important part of an organ, and using non-biological replacements for the rest.

One is more extreme, which can no longer be called organ cloning, but organ manufacturing, because the whole organ is made from non-biological parts.

This second technology has been developed to a later stage, and it has shown that it can be mass-produced, showing a kind of industrialization.

However, since this kind of organ is produced in a unified way, as long as it is not specially customized, there is not much difference between each one, but everyone's body is different, so this kind of artificial organ, no matter its function or its effect, must be It is not as good as the original healthy organ.

There is another kind, which is the whole biological cloning of organs that Zhou Ming's newly established experimental team is going to carry out.

In fact, the emergence of this kind of fully biological cloned organs is also related to a group of people who believe in pure biological fundamentalism in the future.

Fundamentalism, also known as fundamentalism, or "principleism", "fundamentalism", "fundamentalism", etc., refers to the movement of certain religious groups trying to return to their original beliefs, or refers to the movement that strictly abides by the fundamentals. principled position.

They believe that the liberal theology that appeared in these religions in modern times secularizes their beliefs and deviates from the essence of their beliefs, so they respond; they generally advocate literal and traditional interpretations of the basic scriptures or documents of their religions, and believe that The teachings derived from these interpretations should be applied to all aspects of social, economic and political life.

And the group of people who believe in pure biological fundamentalism in the future, their main point of view is that the human body cannot be replaced by machinery.

However, Zhou Ming didn't know about these things. His new laboratory developed technology purely because he didn't know all of the other two man-made technologies.

And this organ cloning technology, he understands very clearly.

In fact, as for the source and development of the knowledge in his mind, Zhou Ming only knew that it was learned by him in the simulated world. As for the specific experience of the development of this knowledge, he didn't know.

Just like in the cloning technology this time, the artificial imitation of the internal environment mentioned by Zhou Ming comes from overseas.

In a simulated future world, due to the blockade of some technologies by the ocean, the communication between the two sides on some technologies stopped.

The biotechnology on Huaguo's side did not flow to the ocean, and seeing that Huaguo's biotechnology has not developed so far, they sent people to Huaguo to find opportunities to steal related technologies, and at the same time, other countries Some experiments were conducted in secret by the state.

Later, due to some reasons, the techniques in those experiments were learned by Zhou Ming.

Su Xueming:......

In Zhou Ming's place, Su Xueming felt that all the problems Zhou Ming mentioned did not seem to be too big of a problem.

You must know that for any of the problems mentioned by Zhou Ming, it is a very difficult task for other top related research teams to solve.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your next plan.

I now feel that even if someone really leaves your team, it may not be so easy for them to go to the United States to do things.

And if they leak these things about you, I'm afraid the country will directly deal with it as treason.

No wonder the people on your team didn't reveal anything about what happened in their respective laboratories. If this leaked out, the sensation it would cause would be unimaginable, and by then you might also become a thorn in the side of some people abroad. "

Su Xueming said.

In Su Xueming's view, if Zhou Ming's laboratory and his company's experimental projects all have such a detailed research plan like the newly established cloning laboratory, then there should be more or less some research plans at the top. understand.

Even if some academicians didn't say it too specifically with the above, they would definitely emphasize the importance of Zhou Ming again and again with the above, which was far more important than what he showed now. .

Although Su Xueming didn't know how Zhou Ming's plans that were specific to each experiment came about, but he knew that if this matter was leaked out and people from abroad knew about it, many people would probably turn against Zhou Ming. thought.

After all, there is no bottleneck in research. As long as you pour money into it desperately and follow the plan, you will be able to research the results you want in a short time.

Although it is only in the biological field, this is still a very scary thing for other countries.

For individuals, what is the most difficult thing about doing scientific research?
Some people say that it is the cruelty of the reality that the demand for fame and wealth cannot be obtained, it is the funds and resources, and it is the conflict between reality and ideals.

But this is only for young scholars, and this young scholar is not a young scholar from Zhou Ming's laboratory and Zhou Ming's company, because Zhou Ming's laboratory team and his company's experimental projects, money is not a problem at all.

For scholars who already have a reputation, are not short of money, and are already in the top position in the field, the real difficulty in doing scientific research is the uncertainty of the results. This is not only for individuals, but also for an enterprise and a country That's how it is.

Just like before the first nuclear weapon was manufactured and after it was manufactured, their meanings to the whole world are completely different.

Although it is still not an easy task for countries that have created the first nuclear weapon to manufacture nuclear weapons, at least they have confidence in their hearts and know that this thing can be manufactured.

The most frightening thing is that you have invested tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of funds into it, but this research is still like a bottomless pit. Not only do you not know how much money and manpower you need to invest in order to produce results, you don’t even know it. You don't know if you can produce results, and you don't know if you are on the wrong path.

Now if those overseas countries, especially those on the other side of the ocean, know that Zhou Ming from Huaguo is [-]% sure to complete every project he proposes, I am afraid that the first thing they will think of is to recruit Zhou Ming. They go there.

If Zhou Ming refused to go, he would definitely have a mentality of "I don't want others if I can't get it, I'd rather destroy him" and wanted to do everything possible to put Zhou Ming to death.

As for science without borders, this is purely bluffing. If science had no borders, there would not be so many restrictions on the spread of science and technology in the world.

"Professor Su, you are serious." Although he knew what Su Xueming said was true, Zhou Ming still said with a chuckle.

If this is leaked out, then some of the things he experienced using the life simulator will probably recur again, so Zhou Ming is also very cautious when recruiting people.

He came to Su Xueming not only because he was recommended by Zhang Mingjie, but also because he had carefully investigated Su Xueming.

……

After finishing the conversation with Su Xueming, the cloning laboratory has officially entered the working stage.

As for the experimental group newly established by Zhou Ming, the higher-ups are also very concerned after knowing about it.

After all, if this technology is successful and the price of cloned organ transplantation is not too high, it will definitely be a major event that benefits the people.

Even if it cannot be widely used due to technical problems in the early stage, or the initial price is relatively high, those who know the news now will definitely be able to enjoy this technology as soon as the technology matures. The issue of the people's livelihood in China will of course be taken seriously.

After that, Zhou Ming's aid plan was officially implemented.

This plan is not done by the future biotechnology company itself, but in cooperation with the government and the assisted local government.

After all, many people, especially in remote and impoverished areas, definitely believe in the officialdom more.

However, because Shen Qingqiu is still focusing all her energy on the experiment of her graduation project, she has not participated in the aid plan that has already started.

Although Shen Qingqiu has not participated yet, Zhou Ming still mentioned this matter to her when chatting with her.

As for the first batch of locations for the assistance plan, there are five, two of which are Zhou Ming's hometown and Shen Qingqiu's hometown, and the other three were determined after investigation.

Although Zhou Ming's hometown is not as poor as Shen Qingqiu's hometown, the county where his hometown is located is also a poor county, but the village where his hometown is located is not a poor village.

And Shen Qingqiu's hometown, whether it is a county or a village, is a poor county and a poor village.

When Zhou Ming supported the construction, he included his hometown in the first batch, which made sense, after all, he was not the kind of real saint who would separate all the people and affairs related to him from others that had nothing to do with him. Treat it the same way.

"There are far fewer people in the village than before. Young people have gone out to work, leaving more elderly people at home. This is not just the case of our group."

This is what Zhou Ming's grandma said to him after learning about Zhou Ming's aid plan.

"However, this is also good, and it can also bring some young people back. It was only when I came here that I realized that houses in big cities are so expensive.

You said that the houses outside here cost tens of thousands of dollars just for a toilet. With this money, they can build a house by themselves in their hometown. Why do they have to stay in other places? "

Zhou Ming's grandma said with some incomprehension.

As for Zhou Ming, he didn't explain anything to his grandma. Sometimes the gap between people is too big to understand.

Just like some people think that there is nothing wrong with not having children, and they can live a more comfortable life, but some people think that such an idea is simply outrageous and contrary to ethics and morals. How do you explain this?

And Zhou Ming's grandma, who grew up in the countryside, has only been to the county town a few times, and has never been to any other big places.

This time when she was taken to Luzhou, she could see that this big family, even her wife, wanted to move to Luzhou, so she agreed so readily before.

Although Zhou Ming's grandma already has early signs of Alzheimer's disease and often forgets some things, this is only a sign after all, and often forgetting things does not mean that she is blind.

She has lived for so many years. After Zhou Ming came back, she could see some changes in the family, the behavior of her son and daughter-in-law, and her wife.

"Young people like big cities, and if they want to make more money, they can only go to big cities." Zhou Ming's father explained.

If his son hadn't become successful, Zhou Ming's father would still be working in Jinling and only come back once a year. Zhou Ming's grandparents would be like the other left-behind elderly people in the village.

Later, as the old man became more and more ill, Zhou Ming's grandparents passed away one after another, and his family might not even come back for the Chinese New Year. They might come back every year to worship their ancestors, but this is only possible.

If Zhou Ming did not get a life simulator, died suddenly in his 20s, and his family did not make a lot of money, the future situation of his family would probably be like this. This is also what is happening in many Chinese rural areas now.

There have been such changes in just a few decades, so what about the changes in the next few decades or even 100 years, Zhou Ming can only glimpse the tip of the iceberg through the life simulator.

However, since the corner of the future that Zhou Ming sees using the life simulator is always viewed from his perspective, and most of it revolves around him, the human ethics and morality brought about by this era and technological development He is not very clear about the changes between them.
