454: The impoverished researcher

Professor Koeman is a biochemistry researcher, and the United States is a country that is not afraid that you have ideas, but that you don't have ideas and dare not have imagination.

And an imaginative scholar can let others pay for his imagination and then create practice.

But Koman's biological research has deterred the three investors, and his laboratory base has had to be disbanded because of lack of funds.

Over the years, the funds invested in him may have burned hundreds of millions, and he may not be able to bring any economic feedback to investors.

Even the slightest sign is wooden.

Since the advent of VR imaging technology, there has been a time when Professor Koeman's biological research has been of interest to many investors, hoping that he can develop a breakthrough research similar to holograms implanted in the human body, who knows that the investors will be bankrupt.

In the end, these who wanted to eat the crab first had to face a retreat.

So, after Professor Coman gave today's lecture after he sold a few days of warm-up tickets, only one person came to listen.

When he saw a person sitting on the staircase-shaped table and chairs that surrounded him, he stroked his eyes and was stunned for a long time.

Xu Cheng asked him, "Are you not going to give a speech if I'm alone?" ”

"No, it won't." Koman said: "I was surprised that there were still people coming, I applied for a speech before, but no one came, and now I have a breakthrough, I want to open it again, it's good, at least there is an audience today, so I'll start talking?" ”

Xu Cheng nodded.

Koman looked at Xu Cheng and asked, "I think you are Asian, can you understand some words in the field of chemistry in English?" I mean, do you know about biological research? I'm afraid that you won't listen to it for a long time, and it will be boring. ”

Xu Cheng smiled: "Say it." ”

Koman said: "I have done biological research for 20 years, and the main thing I do is to transplant human animal organs to each other, but the premise is that the genes and blood must match to ensure that the cells do not die after transplantation. ”

Xu Cheng hurriedly asked, "Did you succeed?" ”

Koman shook his head: "There is a problem that has not been solved, I have done genetic research between animals, but when human genes are grafted in the past, they will face failure." ”

"Genetic research between animals, you say?" Xu Cheng narrowed his eyes: "Have you done genetic research on animals?" I mean, fusion between genes? ”

Professor Koman stroked his eyes and looked at Xu Cheng with a look of hope: "Do you also think that genes can be fused to burst out of wireless possibilities?" Eh, it's a pity, I've done some animal heart bridging surgeries, and after some successful cases, I published a report that gene fusion can produce mutations and live infinitely, but unfortunately, no one believed me. The Animal Society took me to court and lost a lot of money for it. Later, I also did some non-human experiments, but there has never been a successful case of human bridging, and I think that since animals can succeed, then humans can also succeed, but our method is not right. ”

Speaking of this, Koman said to Xu Cheng: "It's a little pale to say this, it's better to do this, do you want to visit my laboratory?" It's rare to meet someone who is interested in my research. ”

Xu Cheng saw that the old man was very enthusiastic, and immediately nodded and decided to visit his laboratory with him, and asked some questions vaguely by the way.

But when he arrived at the door, Lin Dong pulled Xu Cheng and said, "Master, this guy obviously wants you to invest in experiments for him, and he probably wants to persuade you to take you to the laboratory." This kind of scholar is not only fierce in experimentation, but also very good at mouth. ”

"It's fine. You find a hotel, I'll call you back. Xu Cheng said to Lin Dong.

Lin Dong had no choice but to nod.

After going out, I learned that Coman didn't have a car, and Xucheng didn't have a car, so the two had to take a taxi.

Coman smiled at Xu Cheng embarrassedly: "My money is basically used for experiments, I look a little poor." ”

Xu Cheng didn't want to discourage his enthusiasm, so he said, "I'm also quite poor. ”

Koman smiled, "You think I'm going to let you invest in my experiment?" ”

Speaking of this, he smiled bitterly: "Actually, I have spent all my savings on this speech to find someone to advertise in the newspaper, I am not afraid of your jokes, do experiments, how can there be no radiation into the body, I am over 70 years old, my body bones are dying, the last time I went to the hospital for examination, the cancer was terminal." I just want to give a speech before I die and vent everything I have researched to share with others, at least there is a person like you to listen, I am very gratified, young people nowadays like to develop in the IT and financial industries, and the capital kingdom of Silicon Valley is indeed very attractive, so biological research is basically included in the nondescript and unpromising profession. ”

With that, the car arrived at Koman's laboratory.

Very shabby and shabby basement.

It should also have something to do with Komen's lack of money, and the entire laboratory is particularly compact and narrow except for those well-equipped.

"Come in, it's a bit rudimentary, and there's nothing to entertain."

Xu Cheng said as he followed him in: "Mr. Koman, aren't you afraid that I will come with ulterior motives?" ”

"What are you afraid of?" Coman shrugged his shoulders: "Look at what else I'm worth here?" To be honest, this kind of place is not yet wanted to be entered, there are animal carcasses everywhere, and the smell is very strong. ”

While Xu Cheng was looking at some of his memos hanging on the wall, he saw a lot of serums he was studying, and there were many gene tubes.

On the table, there was also a photo of him posing with a woman in her twenties.

"Your daughter?" Xu Cheng asked subconsciously.

"My granddaughter." Coman smiled, stroked the picture frame with one hand and said, "My son and his wife are both from the institute, and we did experiments together, but because they were infected, and they were husband and wife with that aspect of their lives, they inevitably infected each other, and then they both died." My granddaughter thought I had hurt her parents and didn't want to see me for the rest of her life. ”

The old man wiped away his tears and said, "Okay, let's talk about researching this, I'm afraid that no one will listen to me in the future." ”

Xu Cheng asked him directly: "What kind of chemical reaction will the fusion between genes produce?" Have you done research? ”

Koman nodded: "Yes, and it's amazing, the reason why I think that genes can exist and change or merge is because they were discovered according to the principle of human evolutionary change, you think, when land creatures were forced to go to the bottom of the water, they were able to adapt to the water and mutate so that the genes also migrated and changed into aquatic organisms, and in the same way, some land creatures transformed into birds. The history of these living things can tell us that gene cells can be changed, and the biggest reason for changing them is that the climate and environment are forced to change. ”

At this point, Professor Koeman seemed a little excited.

Xu Cheng asked him: "Then do you think that it is possible for people to be able to fly?" ”

Coman said firmly: "It's possible! It can even be said that people survive in the amniotic fluid of the mother's womb from birth, which can be defined as the fact that people can actually survive in water! ”

Xu Cheng's eyes narrowed, and it seemed that he might be able to study and know something about this old man today.
