Science on the Rise: Starting with Cell Editors

　　Not to mention, the experience in genetic modification of macrophages that he accumulated when he was researching AIDS specific drugs played a very important role.

　　And his understanding of human cells and genes played a decisive role.

　　"Well, first make macrophages that can recognize and destroy cancer cells in the laboratory, and then I can rest for a while."

　　Lu Li murmured and started to get busy again. He used single-base gene editing technology to edit the genes of macrophages. Since he was copying homework, the speed was still very fast. After three hours, he had transformed hundreds of cells. a macrophage.

　　It's just that it can't be named new macrophages anymore, it's the same name as the new macrophages used to treat AIDS.

　　"Forget it, let's name the macrophages that treat AIDS as 'No. 1 new macrophage' and the macrophages that treat cancer as 'No. 2 new macrophages'."

　　Lu Li didn't bother about this kind of thing, he just picked a name and started experimenting.

　　The results of macrophages 2 need to be tested to know.

　　"Well, start delivering cancer cells."

　　Lu Li divided the cancer cell samples that had not been used up last time into ten parts, and put them into ten 10 petri dishes, and then poured No. 2 new macrophages into the petri dishes and observed them carefully.

　　Through the electron microscope, Lu Li found that these... new macrophages No. 2 did not disappoint him. When they encountered cancer cells, they would take the initiative to rush to them, and then devoured them.

　　Cancer cells are not the same as HIV, they have no fighting power, as long as they are swallowed by macrophages, there is only a dead end.

　　A minute has passed.

　　Two minutes passed.

　　Two hours have passed.

　　There are no more cancer cells in the ten 10 petri dishes, only the murderous number 2 new macrophages.

　　see this scene.

　　Lu Li was excited again.

　　But to be honest, the sense of achievement is not as good as when he conquered AIDS, because he has experienced too many big scenes now, and this kind of low-difficulty research project, no matter how great the economic value, brings him a sense of achievement and excitement. is also limited.

　　"Well, the next animal experiments and human experiments will be handed over to Xu Xiaochuan. I will rest for a few days and start studying human evolution. This is a challenging research project!"

　　Thinking like this, Lu Li took out his mobile phone and called Xu Xiaochuan.

Chapter 144? Sea King's counterattack, sinking the whaling ship (please order)

　　 "Dr. Xu, I used single-base gene editing technology to cultivate except... a new type of macrophage, which I named No. 2 new macrophage, this macrophage can recognize and destroy cancer cells, you Now come to my lab to get samples and arrange animal experiments."

　　Lu Li's tone was calm, the excitement just now had passed.

　　Xu Xiaochuan was very excited, and said hastily, "Mr. Lu, wait a moment, I'll be there soon."

　　After speaking, Xu Xiaochuan rushed out anxiously.

　　For him, the news was too shocking.

　　That is cancer, the cancer that terrifies all human beings, and the number one killer of human beings. Every year, there are more than 20 million new cancer patients in the world, and more than [-] million patients die from cancer every year! This is more terrifying than AIDS. Ordinary people can avoid AIDS as long as they are careful! But cancer, no one can avoid it, everyone is at risk of developing cancer! This is genetically determined! He can completely imagine that once this news is announced, it will cause What a sensation, even human history textbooks will record this event. In the past [-] years, Lu Li, a scientist from the Dragon Kingdom, conquered cancer. From then on, cancer is no longer a terminal illness! "Maybe, my name will also be on the history books. After all, Mr. Lu said just now that he wants me to arrange animal experiments on special cancer drugs!"

　　Thinking of this, Xu Xiaochuan was so excited that he almost cheered, and ran to Lu Li's laboratory as if the wind was blowing under his feet.

　　Two minutes later, Xu Xiaochuan came to Lu Li's laboratory, sweat dripping from his forehead and panting heavily, and said excitedly, "Lu... Mr. Lu, I'm here."

　　Looking at Xu Xiaochuan's appearance, Lu Li knew that he had trotted all the way, and could also guess why he did it, so he couldn't help laughing: "Don't be in such a hurry."

　　While speaking, he picked up a reagent tube and handed it to Xu Xiaochuan: "This is the new macrophage No. 2, you should conduct animal experiments first, and if you encounter any problems, immediately.

　　Contact me, and if everything goes well, contact Zhou Chengzhi directly and ask him to apply for a clinical trial."

　　"clear."

　　Xu Xiaochuan nodded vigorously, and his expression became even more excited. …

　　After Lu Li gave Xu Xiaochuan the sample of the No. 2 new macrophage, he left the R&D center and drove home.

　　As soon as he got in the car, he took out his mobile phone and opened the news software skillfully, but there was no news of concern recently, so he browsed at random, then exited the software and opened WeChat.

　　In the WeChat group of the experimental class.

　　The friends are discussing going home for Chinese New Year.

　　"I have finished all the subjects, and I will go back to Nancheng tomorrow."

　　"I also finished the test the day after tomorrow, and I have already bought the air ticket, that is... the air ticket for the night after tomorrow."

　　"Haha, I'm in Nancheng now, be envious."

　　Looking at this information, Lu Li also suddenly realized that the Chinese New Year will be over in more than half a month.

　　"Time is so fast."

　　Lu Chen couldn't help sighing in his heart.

　　He still clearly remembered that at the beginning of the year, he was just an ordinary third-year high school student, and he was also somewhat famous in Nancheng No. [-] Middle School.

　　And now.

　　Whether it's identity, status, fame, wealth or girlfriend, you already have it.

　　This change is really huge.

　　Think about it: the feeling of dreaming...  

　　at the same time.

　　Pacific Ocean.

　　Seven thousand three hundred meters under the sea, deep.

　　One... A giant creature with blue light all over its body is floating up. It looks similar to an octopus, with eight tentacles.

　　That's right, it's....One of the 10 Aquamans - Aquaman Nine.

　　a week ago.

　　A sea king left Yusha Island, entered the big island, and went their separate ways.

　　Neptune [-] also chose a direction and went all the way.

　　It is mainly active on the seabed, records its own information according to Lu Li's instructions, surveys seabed topography and seabed minerals, and records various information such as marine creatures encountered along the way, and the direction of ocean currents.

　　If a submarine wreck is found, also record the location and roughly analyze the contents of the wreck.

　　In general, its main responsibilities are to test itself and scientific research, and its sideline is to explore underwater treasures.

　　Every day, it will also surface, bask in the sun, and supplement energy to its body by the way... It can obtain energy by preying on marine organisms, and it can also obtain energy through photosynthesis, but it prefers to obtain energy through photosynthesis function to obtain energy.

　　This is programmed, because in Lu Li's plan, there will be many intelligent creatures in the future. If they all rely on eating to obtain energy, the demand for... food will reach a terrifying level. Therefore, in the Under the selected conditions, intelligent organisms should obtain energy through photosynthesis as much as possible.

　　In the past week, Neptune [-] did not encounter any disturbance during its sunbathing. In fact, with its size, marine creatures would shy away from it, how dare to provoke it, but today, an accident happened.

　　A whaling ship from the Sakura Kingdom came to this sea area...

　　"Yongshin Maru"

　　Whaling ship.

　　Thirty-five-year-old Toyoda is excited because two minke whales have been caught today and are being processed by skilled workers to separate the meat and skin for preservation.

　　"Very well, we set a catch number of 100, and now we have caught 73. If we are lucky, we should be able to return to China in a week."

　　Toyodaro said happily to the staff.

　　"President, I think there should be minke whales in this sea area. Why don't you turn on the sonar device to detect it."

　　said a grumpy-faced employee.

　　"It makes sense, then start the sonar device."

　　Toyodaro nodded.

　　Due to the limited penetration of light in water and the rapid attenuation of radio waves in water, visual and radar detection methods commonly used on land are not practical when detecting targets in the sea.

　　The detection method people use is sonar.

　　Sonar is divided into active sonar and passive sonar.

　　Active sonar is to emit sound waves by itself, and then judge the shape and distance according to the returned sound waves, but the sound waves emitted by active sonar may be received by the other party, thereby revealing your position.

　　Passive sonar, which only receives the sound of water from the target, etc., is used to determine the position of the opponent.

　　"Yongshin Maru"

　　Whaling ships are equipped with active sonar devices, mainly to facilitate the search for whale tracks.

　　at this time.

　　After turning on active sonar.

　　Objects in the sea area with a radius of several kilometers were detected.

　　Then, an employee who was staring at the screen exclaimed: "The company... President! There is an octopus! It's a big octopus. Judging from my experience, this octopus is as big as an adult blue whale! And this octopus is as big as an adult blue whale! The speed is too fast, too fast, at least 130 kilometers per hour!"

　　"Nani"

　　Toyoda was also surprised.

　　As far as he knows, the largest octopus that has been discovered so far is the giant Pacific octopus, which is only about ten meters long. Now there is an octopus as big as an adult blue whale. The speed of this octopus also surprised him, surpassing every 130 kilometers per hour, which has broken the speed record for marine life! "We must capture it!"

　　Toyoda Taro roared excitedly, the rarer things are, the more valuable they are. Such a rare octopus can definitely sell for a sky-high price! So.

　　When Aquaman [-] approached the water, there were two harpoon guns: "Pfft"

　　With a bang, it plunged into the water and shot towards the Sea King [-].

　　However, how could it be possible to hit Aquaman No. [-]. Aquaman has integrated the excellent genes of the Sparrow-tailed Mantis Shrimp, and the attack speed is extremely fast. Almost in the blink of an eye, the two tentacles of Aquaman No. [-] blasted out and bounced off twice. Only harpoon gun:.

　　Then, Aquaman No. [-] got angry and fought back directly.

　　It came directly to "Yongshin Maru"

　　From the bottom of the whaling boat, three tentacles shot out like lightning, and the pointed pincers at the top of the tentacles "puchi"

　　"Yongxin Maru" was pierced with a single sound

　　The armor of the whaling ship created three 3 holes, and seawater began to pour in.

　　"Yongshin Maru"

　　On the whaling ship, there was a scream.
