Xueba's life simulator

Chapter 250 Xiaobie wins the newlyweds

Although Zhou Ming and Shen Qingqiu, the two young lovers, hadn't seen each other for more than half a month this time, the two hadn't seen each other for a day, like three autumns.

When Zhou Ming just graduated from Jinling University of Technology and Shen Qingqiu went to Nankai to study as a graduate student, it was common for them to not see each other for a longer period of time, but they never lived like this.

This is because although the two of them were separated from each other before, they often chatted on their mobile phones and made video calls from time to time.

When he went to the North Pole this time, Zhou Mingjiang had no way of contacting him. He didn't even bring a satellite phone with him. The two of them hadn't contacted each other for more than half a month. Naturally, this meeting was more of a separation than a newlywed. a feeling of.

The whispers the two of them said were naturally conversations between lovers. Zhou Ming's parents knew this kind of thing quite well, and the two of them were still arguing there, and they didn't follow Zhou Ming and Shen Qingqiu as two light bulbs. Didn't ask any more questions.

"When are we getting married? And... and... having kids."

The two of them were chatting, and somehow, Shen Qingqiu came up with the topic of getting married and having children.

"Why did you suddenly mention this matter? We are still young now. If we follow the normal process, you will only be in the second year of graduate school, right? It's still early.

Moreover, I also want to spend a few more years in the two-person world of the two of us.

Did my mother tell you about this when I was not at home?

When I was at home, she often said these things, which was very annoying. When I was still studying at Jinling University of Technology, my mother didn't let me find a partner. "

Hearing Shen Qingqiu's sudden mention of marriage, Zhou Ming also looked puzzled, but soon he guessed that her mother probably told Shen Qingqiu about it these days.

Hearing Zhou Ming say that when he was studying at Jinling University of Technology, his mother would not let him find a partner, Shen Qingqiu also smiled and said to Zhou Ming: "Then you still look for it."

"That's right, fortunately I mustered up the courage to confess my love to you, otherwise I would have listened to her, I guess I would still be single now, and she would definitely be by my side urging me to quickly find someone to marry.

So, what my mother said in this regard, you can just ignore it, and I just go in the left ear and out the right ear. "

Zhou Ming said to Shen Qingqiu again.

The two just talked and laughed, and soon they talked about other topics.
In fact, during the more than half a month that Zhou Ming was away from Luzhou, Shen Qingqiu's grandma also mentioned the idea of ​​getting married and having children with Shen Qingqiu.

However, because of the love for her granddaughter, Shen Qingqiu's grandmother still valued Shen Qingqiu's opinion, and she didn't even want to mention it.

But when chatting with Zhou Ming's grandma, they talked about this topic, and Shen Qingqiu's grandma had an intuition, she felt that when the two children took her to the hospital for a comprehensive examination, Zhou Ming and Shen Qingqiu might not have talked with each other. She's totally telling the truth.

After all, Zhou Ming's grandma had Alzheimer's disease, they could hide it from her for her own good, so is it possible that she herself is also in this situation?
Thinking of this, in the end Shen Qingqiu's grandma couldn't hold back and talked to Shen Qingqiu about getting married and having children, because she felt that if she really got some terminal illness and she still had enough time, she still hoped to see her grandson or granddaughter.

However, Zhou Ming didn't know about this, and because Zhou Ming had to meet Zhou Chunli and Minister Wang from the Ministry of Science and Technology who rushed over in a hurry at night, Zhou Ming didn't have much time to chat with Shen Qingqiu when he just came back, so he asked left.

"After chatting, I feel like I've lost the ability to perceive the passage of time. It's past five o'clock when I don't pay attention. It flies so fast. I have to go out."

Before leaving, Zhou Ming said to Shen Qingqiu.

Although it has been more than two years since the two of them fell in love, it may be because the two of them have lived apart for too long, no matter how tired they are now, it seems that they are not tired enough.

…………

By the time Zhou Ming met Zhou Chunli and Minister Wang at the airport in the evening, it was already past six o'clock in the evening. Fortunately, today's plane was not delayed.

"Huh? Professor Zhou, I haven't seen you for a while, it seems that you have grown a lot stronger? You are usually so busy doing biological experiments and studying mathematics, do you still have time to exercise?"

After getting off the plane and seeing Zhou Ming, Zhou Chunli also said to Zhou Ming.

The two haven't seen each other for some time. Zhou Ming has also maintained the habit of exercising since he got the life simulator and started to get in touch with the tasks about exercising.

In the past, Zhou Ming followed Wang Liren and trained for a period of time according to the training methods of the army. Recently, he followed the training methods provided by the life simulator while doing research while not forgetting to exercise his body. Zhou Ming's current body is naturally stronger than before. strong.

And in terms of skill alone, Zhou Ming reckoned that if he encountered the situation where he was attacked with a knife in the previous simulation, he would have great confidence to avoid or even subdue the opponent.

Of course, if it was the same as the simulation of being shot in the back and dying on the American side, if the other party was holding a gun, then Zhou Ming would definitely be helpless.

However, after Zhou Chunli said this to Zhou Ming, he noticed Wang Liren next to Zhou Ming, and then he remembered that Zhou Ming had sent the army an exercise method that was said to have been figured out by himself.

Although it is not clear what Zhou Ming's exercise method is, but after receiving the exercise method provided by Zhou Ming, he also found someone who specializes in sports, the human body, and traditional martial arts. As well as experts in various fields in the field of biology, Zhou Chunli also knew about this matter.

So after seeing Wang Liren and remembering that Zhou Ming had sent a way to exercise his body to the army not long ago, he quickly said to Zhou Ming: "I almost forgot that you are not only exercising yourself, but also giving yourself back exercise." Created a set of exercise methods."

The four of them were talking like this while walking towards the place where Zhou Ming parked his car.

But at the beginning, Zhou Ming and Zhou Chunli were mainly chatting. When they finally talked about the gene medicine that Zhou Ming had mentioned before, Minister Wang, who had been silent on the side, also spoke at this moment.

"Professor Zhou, are you sure about the 'evolution' gene drug you mentioned?"

Minister Wang asked Zhou Ming, with his appearance, he almost had doubt written directly on his face.

However, this is not the fault of Minister Wang.

After all, what Zhou Ming told them on the phone before was about being able to improve people's physical fitness in an all-round way, and to be able to cure and resist some diseases that even the current medical methods can't cure. This is really too outrageous.

If it wasn't Zhou Ming who said this, Minister Wang probably didn't want to listen to it before he had heard it all.

When I first met Zhou Ming, I had already seen Zhou Chunli who was always able to accomplish what he thought was impossible, and his performance was much calmer than Minister Wang.

After all, in the current Zhou Chunli's view, anything Zhou Ming said would not be nonsense. Since Zhou Ming dared to say it, it meant that he must be sure of it.

After Minister Wang and Zhou Ming finished talking, Zhou Ming just smiled and said to Minister Wang: "Minister Wang, you can ask Dean Zhou, since the two of us first met, when did he see me and say Unsure of things."

"Minister Wang, I told you several times before I got on the plane. Since Professor Zhou dared to say those words, it means that he must be sure in his heart." And Zhou Chunli was also right after Zhou Ming finished speaking. The Minister Wang said.

When the few people were chatting like this, they quickly got into the car.

"From the previous synthetic food project to the space synthetic biology research project, to the recent organ cloning project launched this year, these large projects that have frequently reported good news since their launch, are mainly in charge of Professor Zhou.

By the way, when it comes to artificially synthesized food, I heard that your future biotechnology company has successfully expanded the research results of the first batch of laboratories to the assembly line, and can directly use the factory for production? "When it came to the synthetic food, Zhou Chunli asked Zhou Ming again.

Minister Wang naturally knew about the things Zhou Chunli said, but now he wanted to know about the "longevity" gene drug that Zhou Ming said on the phone earlier, so he didn't answer Zhou Chunli's words, but let Zhou Ming go chat with him.

When the group arrived at the restaurant where Zhou Ming invited them to dinner, the three formally chatted about gene medicine in a private room.

"Can you tell me more about the drug you mentioned earlier? And what you said about the 'mutation' that was dug up from the North Pole."

Now that we are going to officially start talking about the genetic drug that Zhou Ming mentioned, then the ancient virus "mutation" cannot be missed, and Zhou Chunli and Minister Wang seem to be very interested in this ancient virus. of.

Now that Zhou Chunli told him that, Zhou Ming also told them about the ancient virus in detail.

"At that time, after we tried several places there, we found this virus, which I called a 'variant'. According to the experiments done in the laboratory in the Arctic, we preliminarily concluded that this 'variant' of the ancient virus 'is an RNA virus whose genetic material is ribonucleic acid.

You also know that the vast majority of viruses are DNA viruses, and only a very small number of viral genetic materials are RNA.

Compared with DNA viruses, RNA viruses are more likely to cause disease and are more deadly to the host.

The most important thing is that viruses whose genetic material is RNA are more likely to mutate, so there are more types and more difficult to study.

Just in the studies we did in our labs over in the Arctic, none of the 'mutants' that came into the experimental animals were the same.

However, although the symptoms displayed by these animals are also different, they all have one thing in common..."

When he said this, Zhou Ming obviously paused for a while, and then continued.

"...Before the injection of 'variant', these experimental animals were originally of the same species, but all of them were reproductively isolated in the end."

After Zhou Ming finished the last sentence, Minister Wang and Zhou Chunli were also surprised.

"Reproductive isolation? How could the same organism be reproductively isolated in such a short period of time?"

Zhou Chunli looked at Zhou Ming in shock, and said to Zhou Ming.

Even if he counted all the time from Zhou Ming's departure from Luzhou to his return to Luzhou, those experimental animals belonging to the same species, and some of them may even be first-milk compatriots, are absolutely impossible to produce reproductive isolation.

"Are you sure you're not saying that their remaining offspring will be reproductively isolated, but that they were able to reproduce normally before, but after the injection of the 'mutant', reproductive isolation occurred?"

Minister Wang also asked Zhou Ming.

"Yeah, I'm sure.

We preliminarily infer that the 'variant' is likely to change the genes of the animals after they enter the animal body, so that although they are of the same species, there is a gap between the genes, and the fertilized egg and sperm cannot combine.

It is precisely because of the phenomenon of reproductive isolation of animals after injection of the 'mutant', coupled with our speculation, that we call this virus, which has never been found before, a 'mutant'. "

Zhou Ming explained to the two of them again.

"So, you intend to study and understand how the 'mutation' changes the genes of those animals so quickly, and then discard the dross and take the essence, and use the current biotechnology means to direct it to change the genes in the human body?

But in this case, as long as it is a person injected with this drug, wouldn't reproductive isolation also occur?
If you can't solve this problem, even if this drug is developed, there is no country that will approve it for marketing. After all, what you are doing is related to the extinction of human beings. "

After Zhou Chunli listened to Zhou Ming's words, he quickly asked out the doubts in his heart.

The news that Zhou Ming said now is too explosive. They actually have many questions in their minds now, but it is impossible to ask them all at once. They can only ask them one by one and slowly.

"What's more, you seem to be guessing and thinking until now. Even the reason for the 'mutation' causing infertility is also guessing. I'm afraid I can't be sure."

"Don't worry, listen to me slowly..."

Then, Zhou Ming talked to them about the ancient virus "mutation" and the genetic drug "Longevity". What Zhou Ming said was also based on his own guesses and ideas, and he didn't mention any confidential information.

While listening to Zhou Ming's words, Zhou Chunli had already fully understood that this genetic drug named "evolution" by Zhou Ming in advance seemed to be just one of the many big projects that Zhou Ming carried out, but in fact this was different from those before Zhou Ming. are completely incomparable.
