Mixed In the United States As a Local Tyrant

  Chapter 40 The Artificial Genius

   A few days later.

The happy time is always short, and everyone is still immersed in the leisure time of doing nothing all day long, riding horses, swimming, and basking in the sun, but the holiday has quietly come to an end. On the night of the 6th in China, we start to pack our bags and have a party night. Qi Qi left the next morning.

  Large and small bags are inevitable, even An Feng was forced to work as a coolie, carrying some luggage for them, and took the flight to Los Angeles International Airport together. Due to different flight schedules, Wu Chao and Ji Min were the first to leave. An Feng hugged and said goodbye to them.

   "Next time I have the opportunity to find more time to come to your big landlord's house for vacation, this time you are not poor, you are lucky." Wu Chao said with a smile.

   "Welcome." An Feng patted him, "But with your ability, you can't shake my mountain. Let's see who vomited from drinking red wine this time? Enough fun, right?"

  Wu Chao scratched his head and smirked. An Feng kept his word. He really brought out a large box of red wine, treated it as beer and dried the bottle. The result can be imagined.

  Ji Min glared at Wu Chao, and said helplessly: "This guy just talks hard, but he doesn't really weigh much, so don't talk to him next time!"

  An Feng smiled and waved at them.

Then came Wang Le, he didn't bring much, besides the bag, he also bought a trolley case, which contained gifts for his family, still dressed in super black, he also hugged An Feng, and said : "For details about the branch, we will contact you online."

   "Excuse me." An Feng said, he is also a good brother in the dormitory, so there is no need to say more words of thanks.

  Wang Le turned around coolly: "That's it, brother go!"

Xiaoyu is probably the most reluctant. The four days of visiting Disneyland were her happiest days. Now she is talking about how fun it is there, and she told her mother that if she can play again, she can go to school obediently. . It's really rare that the bear boy was actually stimulated to make up his mind.

  Sister said to An Feng: "We have considered it these days. The environment here is really good, and Xiaoyu also likes it. I am afraid that you will be under too much pressure."

An Feng shook his head and said: "Don't worry about this, just educate Xiaoyu well, and leave other things to me. When I was young, you gave way to me and helped me everywhere. Although I made you angry in many ways, I know you She is the best sister, now I will cover you."

  Brother-in-law said with a smile: "This whole scene is really sensational."

  An Feng curled his lips and said, "It's not because you all insisted on saying goodbye to me. Well, let's do it for now, I will go back during the Spring Festival."

  After listening to some advice from my parents, I finally waved goodbye.

   After taking a nap at noon, after getting up in the afternoon and washing his face, he picked up his mobile phone and dialed Lei's number. The last time the matter of looking for the laboratory came to fruition, but An Feng had no time, so he had to ask Lei to help delay it until later. After speaking with him, Lei said that the laboratory is not difficult to find, but it needs some money.

  An Feng didn't care about the money any more, he reserved a time slot, and the next step was to find or buy various matching grape tissues, and it took a few days to collect them all. The vineyards are officially picked. An Feng uses manual picking for the grapes used for winemaking, while the others are sold by machines. The loss rate is about 8%, but the time is fast, and now Old John has contacted the buyer.

   After nothing happened, An Feng drove a pickup truck with outstanding transportation capacity, and took the culture medium and materials he personally adjusted to Los Angeles. Ray helped him rent a biogenetic laboratory at UCLA at a high price. UCLA is a very famous university, and it often ranks among the top 15 in the world. Generally, such institutions of higher learning do not like to lend their own laboratories, but UCLA has a weakness: public ones.

  Public universities in the United States are supported by government funding, but recently the government has been calling them poor, and even public universities are trying to find ways to increase tuition fees to ease financial pressure. With An Feng offering tens of thousands of yuan, plus the relationship with some previous investors, there is still a way. Ray took great care in doing this.

A few hours later, I arrived in Los Angeles. According to the address, I came to the entrance of the college. I dialed the number of the contact person on my mobile phone, explained my identity and made an appointment, and then came out a male scholar in his forties. Take it into the college building and find the lab for rent.

  After listening to the other party explain some precautions and signing the damage compensation agreement, An Feng went to get to know the equipment in the laboratory one by one. Whether it is equipment or manuals, they are all professional vocabulary and abbreviations. Fortunately, he was well prepared and let the machine memorize the dictionary before he came.

  The purpose of Anfeng is to cultivate genetically modified grapes with super adaptability, so that top vines can grow all over the land of California, and completely rewrite the wine market. It has the meaning of punching Bordeaux in France and stepping on Yarra Valley in Australia.

  His experiment was simple: repeat research that had already been successful. First extract the required target gene, combine with the carrier, recombine the DNA, and then introduce it into the recipient cells, and spend a long time to screen the target gene - this is the only difficult part in the experiment, because it does not require technology but patience . No matter how strong the next-generation technology is, it can't help him increase his patience. There is a certain element of luck in it.

  Although An Feng is lazy, he will not give up halfway. As long as he is patient, he will find the target gene sooner or later. Finally, large-scale proliferation is carried out by a PCR machine to obtain the required recombinant cells and stored in the culture medium. Then you can leave the laboratory, and many of the subsequent steps can be completed at home.

   The whole process lasted for several days. An Feng felt that it was a bit slow, but compared with the two or three years of research and development time of other grape genetic modification technologies, he was probably the fastest in history. I stayed in a hotel at night, and went to the laboratory to nest during the day, and re-experienced the busy life of high school.

  The office door was knocked twice, An Feng was busy in front of the desktop gene gun, without looking up, he said, "Please come in!"

  The half-hidden door was pushed open, and a middle-aged white man in a white shirt, black hair, and glasses walked in, holding a cup of coffee in his hand.

  An Feng glanced back and nodded slightly: "Good afternoon, Mike."

   "You too, Ann." The other said.

   "Sorry, my experiment has reached a critical moment, please feel free." After An Feng said this, he continued to immerse himself in his work.

   "It's okay." The other party said very politely. Coincidentally, Mike Case is an expert in biological research, specializing in the research of biological cells, and has a deep understanding of the world's problem-cancer cells. By chance, he entered the wrong laboratory and met An Feng who was working hard.

It was just this time that they chatted a few words. At first he didn't pay much attention to An Feng, he just thought he was some hardworking foreign student in the school, because Chinese people are always hardworking. Although their communication skills are not strong, they put their heads down The hard work is not comparable to ordinary people. Case asked a few casually, but who knows that the other party knows as much as he does, and judging from his experiments and theories, he is probably better than himself.

  I have done decades of research, can it be compared to a young man? Keith talked about other topics intentionally or unintentionally, leading the content to a more advanced direction. Who would have thought that this person's performance was as relaxed as ever, blurting out theoretical and experimental data, and some conclusions seemed...more accurate?

  Later, Case went to ask his colleague who was working on this subject to verify it, and found a calculation error. After the revision, the answer tended to be that of the Chinese named Bruce. Keith was shocked. He suddenly remembered a boring survey before, saying that the golden age for scientists to make major discoveries is between 25 and 35 years old. According to statistics, the average age of American Nobel laureates when they received their Ph.D. Around 25 years old.

   Comforting myself in this way, the state of mind will be much more stable.

   An Feng, on the other hand, was completely unaware of the shock he had caused to others by modifying the data of that project. At that time, he just wanted to quickly screen the target gene and get rid of this annoying old guy, but unexpectedly he got entangled instead. Helpless, he could only chat with Case about some things related to cytogenetics in his spare time.

  Perhaps it was God's will. When An Feng was working on grape genetic modification, he touched the same category of bioengineering, so he got involved. According to the "rules" understood by the machine brain, doing so can better excavate related knowledge, so the knowledge of biological genes and cytology is available.

   "Oh, yes!" An Feng cheered suddenly, attracting Case who was drinking coffee, and seeing his smile all over his face, he was overjoyed.

   "I succeeded!" An Feng rarely took the initiative to open the topic.

   "Congratulations!" Case said.

An Feng excitedly took out the recombined cells, and now only needs to use the PCR machine to replicate it to 10 billion to 100 billion times, and then carry out cell tissue culture, put the target cells in the medium, and bring them back to his own experiment In the room, slowly waiting for them to grow, develop... and finally harvest.

   Case gave him a hand and helped him a little. After An Feng finished, he wanted to invite him to have a cup of coffee, but Case said that he had good stuff in his office, and An Feng didn't want to go far, so he went with him. Then came some other research experts, all with "Dr" in their titles. There were so many fierce people with double doctorate degrees, An Feng felt under pressure.

  Mike Case is throwing a grand banquet, this old guy has a bad conscience!

   They were lucky this time. After fighting for a week, An Feng got what he wanted, so he said more when he was in a good mood. The so-called mutual communication is basically that he is coping and other people are communicating. An Feng couldn't listen to what they said, no matter how they came, the machine brain would be broken.

An Feng took a sip of coffee and said seriously: "I also think Dr. Case said that after inducing the expression gene X mutation of cancer cells, it can permanently kill cancer cells, but a chain reaction needs to be created, otherwise the drug will be destroyed. damage to other normal cells."

   (X stands for nonsense)

  They exchanged opinions on what An Feng said.

  An Feng complained in his heart: Damn, who cares what you say, I have a lot of ways to kill cancer cells permanently...but I won't tell you!

In the end, An Feng said that he wanted to end the research. When they packed up and went home, they invited An Feng to join the research team. Although he only had a bachelor's degree that was not recognized by the United States, the nerds like Lao Mei really did research. Who cares what you have? What kind of degree, as long as you have knowledge.

  An Feng refused, that’s why he didn’t do this kind of thing. The research has produced results, and the main credit is yours. I just put a name at the end? Just kidding, why don't you give me a part-time job, I will give you a project that you can't finish in your lifetime, and you can produce results in an average of a few years.

   After An Feng exchanged communication methods with them, he resolutely left. But on the way back, he had the idea to hire a group of research staff to research and develop his subject... laziness is playing tricks. Take this one, although it was a simple (for him) experiment, it took a week.

   What if the later ones are more complex and larger, will it take half a year?

An Feng didn't have the patience. He thought about dividing a topic into multiple groups, so that different people could study different areas... It's like a research institute. The knowledge patents researched by employees belong to the research institute. After getting the name, Anfeng made a profit, so why not do it?
