Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

The next day.

Still inside the experimental compartment of the Palace.

Standing in front of the researchers, Professor Stephen, with his dark eye circle, coughed slightly, lifted up the paper printed in his hand and continued with a less spiritual voice.

“I'm sure you've read it… I won't repeat the contents of the paper, just to satisfy my personal curiosity, I can't help but ask, who is this Dr. Z? ”

Looking at the six men in front of them, who were forced and indifferent, Professor Stephen added with a firm voice.

“Don't be embarrassed, this Dr. Z must be among the seven of us… No, it's the six of us, I know I'm not. Ian, old man, is that you? ”

Faced with an old friend's query, Ian looked at the paper in his eyes and shook his head, “Of course not. If it was me, why would I use an alias? I don't know. It's a Nobel Prize finding. Would anyone disown their honor too much? ”

X-0172 Bacterial invasion is a global ecosystem crisis that, if solved, would undoubtedly be a contribution to all humankind. It is hard to say whether or not there are still so many in line to be awarded the Nobel Prize, but there must be some eligibility for the Nobel Prize nomination.

Professor Leslie looked at Professor Zhao Shuxuan standing next to him and found that he was also looking at himself.

“Z… seems to be the first letter of your last name? ”

“Don't guess," Professor Zhao shook his head, "it's not me... why am I anonymous? ”

This kind of paper doesn't say grabbing my name and hanging it up, but also actively hiding it, it really makes people wonder what this guy thinks.

The seven people in the experimental compartment looked at each other and stared at each other for half a day, and none of them came out of nowhere.

Ultimately, Professor Ian shrugged his shoulders and gave a helpless expression.

“Well... it seems that Dr. Z is not here, and I'm sure you won't keep it to yourselves. ”

“This is ridiculous," Professor Leslie pushed his glasses and muttered to himself with an incredible voice, "Without touching a sample of X-0172 bacteria, how exactly did he figure out how to block X-0172 bacteria from producing spores? ”

There was silence in the chamber.

Obviously, it's not just Professor Leslie who's confused about this.

“Although this sounds ridiculous, I think we can try it the way this Dr. Z provided… Anyway, isn't the research line we were going to take trying to find a way to stop X-0172 bacteria from producing spores?” Reading the paper in his hand again in fear, Professor Ian shrugged his shoulder and looked at the other researchers in the experimental compartment and said, "Just in time this Dr. Z and we came up with it. ”

Zhao Shuxuan pushed down his glasses and nodded, "I think it's okay. ”

Professor Leslie nodded, “I don't mind. ”

Professor Stephen leaned against the side of the starboard window and coughed softly: "That's what I was going to do. ”

Professor Ian punched a ringing finger.

“4 votes in favour, more than half of the votes… so be it. ”

……

In general, it is much more difficult to repeat the experiment than it was the first time.

Many cutting-edge fields of research in modern biology, many major discoveries can be achieved by many coincidences, even if the same set of reagents is ordered, using equipment from the same manufacturer, and experimenting at different times, can yield different results.

Plus now that the art of cartography is getting stronger and stronger, even undergraduates are now proficient in using cartographic tools, and the cost of counterfeiting is getting lower and harder to identify.

Thus, the repeatability of experiments has become an important indicator of the value of research in biology.

Rationally, Professor Stephen believes, of course, that the probability that this Dr. Z came up with was valid.

Not only because he fished it out of Arxiv, but also because there were so many lines of descriptions in the paper that it resonated academically in his mind.

“X-0172 Bacteria are capable of surviving in the extreme environment of Mars, and killing it by ordinary means is difficult and can only be done through its weaknesses. ”

“What are its weaknesses? ”

“What is most lacking on Mars is the extreme environment, where survival creates its advantages in the face of extreme environments, but also its disadvantages. ”

“No other micro-organism has ever fought for a living environment and its tolerance to other micro-organisms is necessarily limited. ”

“So the key to solving the problem is finding a bioinformatic that can cheat X-0172 bacteria… hiss, why didn't I think of that at first? ”

Mumbling to himself, Professor Stephen, staring at the ceiling, fell into contemplation.

Actually, it's nothing. It's just a study of ideas.

Give him a little more time, and he won't necessarily be able to think of these shallow, easy-to-understand things.

However, that is not the point.

What gets me out of my head is, this Dr. Z thought of this research idea, and how exactly did he introduce the molecular formula that blocks the formation of amino acid derivatives of X-0172 bacteria?

By the way, can this thing be rolled out?

Shouldn't it be from thousands of samples, constant errors, constant screening, to come out?

This has completely upset his understanding of biology.

Looking at the line of amino acid derivative molecules on the computer screen, Professor Stephen grabbed the beard on his chin with some agony, thought about breaking his head, or wondered how this Dr. Z actually did it.

At this time, the hatch door of the experimental compartment opened and Professor Zhao Shuxuan drifted in.

Seeing Professor Zhao floating into the experiment, Professor Stephen cleared his voice and looked at him and asked.

“How'd it go? ”

Zhao Shuxuan: "… the synthetic amino acid derivatives have been injected into three patients, with or without specific effects still under observation. ”

Professor Stephen was silent for a while and sighed.

“Now we can only wait quietly for the results. ”

Time goes by.

A minute and an hour are no different in a space cabin without sunrise and sunset, if you don't look at the watch.

The chamber door opened again just as Professor Stephen and the others began to get into some trouble.

Before he could ask, he saw Professor Leslie with an exciting expression on his face, floating in the direction of the hatch door.

“Colonel 1 2 observed metabolic levels rising! Bacillus content in metabolites is significantly reduced! No allergic reaction! ”

He took a deep breath and said with an exciting voice, trembling.

“Amino acid derivatives are effective! ”

“We did it! ”
