Marvel – Immortal Path

If New York is the heart of the capitalist country of United States, then the Manhattan district of New York City is the surging blood in this heart.

Manhattan is the economic and cultural center of the United States. It is home to the headquarters of most of the top 500 companies in the world, Wall Street, Nasdaq, New York Stock Exchange and even the United Nations Headquarters.

With such a long list of titles, the real estate status of Manhattan's extremely expensive land is naturally created. An ordinary person may not have enough money to buy a land as large as a public toilet after working hard all his life.

In Midtown Manhattan, there is a tall building that stands arrogant and despotic. The exaggerated and avant-garde shape is far more eye-catching than the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, and Chrysler Building next to it.

The shape of this building is roughly K-shaped, wine bottle-shaped, and a large letter composed of a steel frame is pasted on the top: S

Stark, Stark Tower.

Needless to say, the owner of this tall building is the playboy, billionaire, scientist, engineer, and arms tycoon—Iron Man Tony Stark.

At this moment, this world-renowned Superhero is holding a private party on the top floor with a crowd of celebrities.

If it is a party, it is actually a bunch of red men and green women indulging in noisy music and covetous materialism.

In normal times, Tony Stark must be the center of the party and the focus of everyone, but he took the initiative to avoid the crowds, came to a secluded corner of the rooftop, walked straight to a deck chair and lay down, slumped The legs are humming a song that is out of tune.

The other recliner next to him already had its owner. After the noise of the humming sound, the man showed his head from behind the magazine, rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "Even if you don't want to stay in it. Now, don’t come and bother me?"

The speaker is named Bruce Banner, a nuclear physicist, Tony Stark graduated from MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), and Bruce Banner also worked at MIT. Passed a post, regarded as half an alumnus.

The two are both internationally renowned physicists. They have a more common language and have a close personal relationship.

"I don't want to stay in it, but to accumulate energy," Tony Stark blinked, his face said as usual: "Tonight I also have a lot of work to be busy."

Bruce Banner rolled the eyes, tsukkomi said: "If your job is to accompany those Russian ballet dancers to dinner, then I can understand very well, but I don't know what your assistant secretary Pepper thinks."

"What's the secretary?" Tony stretched out the ending, skipped the topic, and randomly pulled the publication in Bruce Banner's hands, looked through it twice, "Isn't this "Nature"? Why? There are new papers?"

The so-called "Nature" magazine is the academic journal "Nature", founded in 1869 in the United Kingdom, which enjoys a very high status in the academic world. The «Science» magazine is listed as the two top academic journals in the world.

If this description is too pale and remote, you might as well put it another way: for scientists, being able to publish in the «Nature» journal means promotion of status, substantial funding, and media attention.

Strict difficulty, generous rewards, and the crown of "representing the world's cutting-edge technology" have attracted all those engaged in the scientific field. If they can stand out on «Nature», it means that they are in academia. The world's prominence.

Bruce Banner, a long-established nuclear physicist, wants to publish papers in journals with no difficulty. However, Tony Stark unexpectedly discovered that Bruce read carefully and even carefully marked the papers on it. It has nothing to do with nuclear physics, but a medical paper on the comprehensive culture of tracheal stem cells.

While reading the paper, Tony Stark frowned casually said: "Interestingly, the stem cell culture technology here is quite mature..."

"Yes," Bruce Banner nodded Said: "Do you remember who the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded to?"

"Hmm..." Tony Stark rubbed the delicate stubble he had taken care of, not quite Said with certainty: "It seems to be a Japanese scientist named Yamanaka?"

"It is Shinya Yamanaka, a professor at the Institute of Regenerative Medicine, Kyoto University." Bruce corrected: "He leads the technical team, I found a way to induce the differentiation of human epidermal cells into embryonic stem cells and successfully differentiate the stem cells into cardiac muscle or nerve cells."

"I have a little impression." Tony slumped his body on the recliner. I casually took a sip of the cocktail on the glass table and lazily said, "Didn't the media at the time emphasize it all the time? It is said that stem cell technology will be the future of human medical treatment. As a result, no real results have been achieved so far. "

"Scientific research takes time." Bruce emphasized: "You don't know, any epoch-making scientific and technological achievements will take tens of years from theory to practical application."

Tony Stark brows slightly wrinkle, the old friend actually used the word "epoch-making", so he had to pick up the «Nature» magazine again and read the paper again.

He lifts the head this time, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, "This paper also implies that there are follow-up experimental results. If you go further, I am afraid that you can really make something like artificial Organs and the like can be put into practical results."

This is incredible. Artificial organs that can be replaced at will mean that countless diseases can be easily overcome, and countless terminally ill patients can be saved. It also represents the first in the pharmaceutical industry. The "supreme key" to the health of all mankind is touched at one time.

Tony knew that Bruce was so enthusiastic about it. It is estimated that stem cell technology could help him deal with the matter of turning into Hulk.

More than that, Tony also found a strangeness in the paper. This article on the comprehensive cultivation of stem cells is too crude, without quotations and long discussions, and the whole body is surprisingly small, even in the signature column. , Did not follow the unwritten rules of academia—add some well-known academic clan names, but simply printed the two pinyin "li'ang".

"From the name, is it still a Chinese?" Tony Stark flipped back and forth, and did not find out the scientific research institution of this'li'ang' and other information that could identify the identity from the paper.

This is unusual. You must know that scientists want to make their own identity into a QR code and paste it on the top of the paper, for fear that others will not know who oneself's surname is and who came from a certain research institute.

"Wait, li'ang..." Tony suddenly remembered something, staring at Bruce and said, "You know I participated in the National Industrial and Agricultural Seminar held by the White House a few days ago. Will it?"

"I know."

This kind of seminar does not have much authority. In fact, it is to convene giants from all walks of life and sit with the think tank of the White House. Together, discuss the country's future industrial and agricultural development direction.

"At the hearing, there was a very novel, even revolutionary patented technology, hydroponic meat," Tony Stark said condensedly: "If I remember correctly, the technology of hydroponic meat Patent applicant, his name is also li'ang."
