Chapter 193
When the team members of 'Infinite Gene' heard the news, they were all extremely excited.

It is undoubtedly a great encouragement for everyone to have their own people make achievements so quickly.

Zhang Han was even more pleasantly surprised and excitedly applauded.

I didn't expect that the biohacking group had achieved results within a few months of its establishment. It was really unexpected, and it came at the right time.

The main goal of his establishment of this biohacker group is to gather people with lofty ideals from the people and create a new battlefield outside of bio-enterprises and scientific research institutions.

After all, although he is rich, he is not rich enough to start a biotechnology company.

We can only cast the net widely, catch more fish, and focus on cultivating some key players, hoping to incubate one or two useful products. After commercialization, the team's reputation will start, attracting more talents, and thus forming a virtuous circle .

This set is very familiar to the IT industry. In places like Silicon Valley, many mediocre programmers develop software by themselves after they have a brilliant idea. Easy wealth and freedom.

Today, Zhang Han also wants to replicate this incubation model in the IT industry in the biological field.

And Gao Jun's gene-edited disease-resistant pigs are the first shot of his incubation model.

He quickly contacted Gao Jun and said bluntly: "Congratulations, our team has finally achieved the first successful results. The product of disease-resistant pigs is subversive for the entire industry, especially in the Philippines. When the Asian swine fever is raging, it even has strategic value for the country.”

"This patent is very valuable. Do you want to realize it quickly? Do you have any specific ideas? I have very rich business resources here, and maybe I can help you."

Gao Jun was a little hesitant. He was just an ordinary person and didn't know much about business.

Although he was keenly aware of the commercial potential of his patents out of natural shrewdness, he didn't have a specific number in his mind.

He pondered for a while, then asked, "Leader, do you have any good suggestions?"

Zhang Han secretly praised in his heart that children can be taught, this Gao Jun is indeed a smart man.

So without talking nonsense, he simply said: "There are three ways, the first one is the easiest, if you don't want to worry too much, if you just want to make a fortune, you can sell the patent and make a lot of money."

"In this regard, I can help you find a buyer, and you can just give me a commission. Of course, not many people know about it now. I will give you a good operation and publicize it as much as possible. It will definitely attract Lots of buyers, sell at a decent price."

"The second way is to set up an agricultural technology company and license the patents. You can collect patent fees from major pig farms every year. This is also a relatively easy way. The disadvantage is that you have to run the company yourself, and then If we do not continue to develop in this area, competitors may catch up later."

"The third way is to start your own pig farming business. I heard that your family seems to have a pig farm? Then if you want to do this by yourself, you can do it yourself, but it will be more difficult. But you have the patent in your hand. , money is not a problem, I can introduce some venture capital companies to you, if you work hard, you can become a listed company."

"In short, these three roads are difficult and easy. You can analyze it carefully according to your own situation, and then make a choice."

"You have thought it over, you can tell me, and I will do the next thing."

"But no matter what, you have achieved results, and we are also happy for you. This is a good opportunity to promote our group, and it is worth promoting, hahaha."

Zhang Han laughed happily, as if he was deeply happy for Gao Jun.

Gao Jun scratched his head and smiled honestly: "Okay, thank the team leader for your concern, give me a few days, I will discuss it with my family, and then I will reply to you."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Han looked at the other team members, and with a thought, he sent them inquiries one by one.

"Have you made any progress recently?"

He only has a vague understanding of everyone's goals, not too clear, and usually everyone communicates with specific technical details.

However, the research directions of several people are different, and they are doing it alone, so there will be no conflict of interest, so they have no concerns about each other, and they are willing to share their work progress.

The other four members responded one after another.

"How can it be so fast? My direction is a bit difficult. I got stuck on a problem recently, and my headache is dead."

"Team leader, thank you for your concern. I have been too busy with work recently, so I haven't done any experiments."

"No hurry, no hurry, I have some preliminary ideas, but they are still being verified step by step."

The corners of Zhang Han's mouth twitched as he watched. Sure enough, scientific research was slow to produce results, and it was probably luck to have a high-ranking army.

But the late reply to a message lifted his spirits.

"Leader, I have some results here. I have transformed the cat's somatic cells into germ cells, and I am cultivating clones. If I have any results, I will let you know as soon as possible."

"Great, come on! I'm waiting for your good news."

As soon as Zhang Han slapped his thigh, he was filled with hope, deeply feeling that he had really good vision and was full of luck.

In such a group, there are two masters, crouching dragon and phoenix chick, so why not worry about a big deal.

After Gao Jun's disease-resistant pigs survived the African swine fever, they quickly spread to the surrounding villages.

Neighbors in the village came to watch the excitement one after another, and they were all amazed at the frisky little piglets.

Especially after learning that this is a new breed bred by Gao Jun himself, they gave thumbs up one after another.

The fellow villagers are very simple, and they can’t understand such profound words as gene editing, but they can understand things like surviving swine fever. Anyway, I finally figured out that this is a hybrid disease-resistant pig. Being able to resist African swine fever is awesome, that's all.

Gao Jun instantly became a well-known sow breeder within a hundred miles.

Farmers from nearby villages and counties heard the news and wanted to buy their disease-resistant piglets to raise.

During this period of time, Gao Jun's parents were so happy that they couldn't help but bring people to visit the two disease-resistant piglets every day when they had nothing to do.

Someone took a video of the piglet and posted it on the Internet with a very gimmicky title, instantly attracting countless curious netizens.

"Shocked, college students go home to raise pigs after graduation, and high-tech methods have cultivated genetically modified pigs, completely eradicating African swine fever!"

The video was reposted frantically, which immediately sparked heated discussions across the Internet.

Even the TV stations in the provincial capital came to conduct interviews, and then published them as headlines.

As a result, Gao Jun and his gene-edited disease-resistant pigs became completely popular.

"Fuck, I'm also a college student, why is this one so good?"

"College students in the new era should be like this, mastering the power of technology and changing people's lives."

"It's a role model for me!"

"Is gene editing technology already so powerful? An undergraduate student can easily make such a major achievement? It's incredible."

"As a master of biology, I am ashamed. If only I had half the skills of this classmate."

"Hey, my doctoral dissertation is rubbish compared to his. Why is there such a big difference between people."

"An undergraduate amateur player who beats up a group of professional scientific researchers, this is a black science and technology hero, the next step is to start a business and make money to marry Bai Fumei, and reach the pinnacle of life."

"I suspect that this guy also has a system. I suggest that the country seize it and slice it for research. 狗头.jpg"

"Don't talk nonsense, although Gao is an amateur, he has always been very interested in biology. He even resigned to study gene editing technology. In the face of a strong driving force, all difficulties must be compromised."

"Yes, I am the computer he used. I can testify that he works on me for more than ten hours every day, and he is very diligent."

"I am the bed he slept in, and I can also testify that I don't see anyone else every day. Dog head.jpg"

Some people watched the TV news and discovered the new world of biohacking, and couldn't help asking questions out of curiosity.

"By the way, student Gao heard that he is a biohacker. What is this thing? Is it so awesome?"

"It feels very similar to a cyber hacker, does it have anything to do with it?"

"Doesn't he sound like a good person, or the kind of lunatic who wreaks havoc everywhere?"

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, go to Baidu yourself, biohackers have nothing to do with cyber hackers at all."

"I searched, and I feel that biohackers are a group of tech freaks who use their bodies to transform them. They implant chips in their fingers and wireless earphones in their earlobes. It's not the same as Student Gao."

"There are also many types of biohackers. There is a famous foreign celebrity named Brocade, who is a biohacker. He is also engaged in gene editing technology. He once injected himself with genetic drugs to enhance muscles. This is the more radical kind. Gao should be a moderate, more inclined to apply in agriculture."

"It's too scary for a foreigner to mess around with himself. Chinese people are more rational and know how to take a more practical application route. If this disease-resistant pig is a product that can really be implemented, it will make a fortune."

"Don't say it, don't say it, there is a scientific research dog, I am so tempted, I really want to quit my job and do the experiment myself!"

"Let's take a step upstairs to talk about it. Is this gene editing technology difficult?"

"It's not difficult to say, but it's not easy to say. If you graduate from university and are willing to study hard, you will definitely be able to learn it. Our school is now offering courses in this area, and everyone can get started with experiments after studying for a semester. It's just this matter The difficulty is not to do the experiment, but to design the experimental plan, carefully analyze the data, and then make improvements, which cannot be done without perseverance.”

"I found out that Gao's experiments were all done in Longtu's shared laboratory. It turned out that Mr. Wei did this thing not only for the self-medication of patients, but also to promote the development of private biotechnology. It is simply far-sighted. , wise and powerful."

"Indeed, biohackers have to do experiments. In the past, they could only build a laboratory by themselves. Now that there are shared laboratories, the threshold has been greatly lowered. No wonder foreign biohackers are so developed. They have many shared laboratories."

"Sharing the laboratory saves a lot of money, and there is no patent trouble. After all, if you use a university or enterprise laboratory, patents will not be clear."

"Yes, especially researchers who want to do experiments in their spare time. If they use a company's laboratory, the patent will be theirs."

"Wonderful, Sanqing even thought of this? Now as long as you are interested in biology, you can imitate Gao, study biotechnology in your spare time, resign when you have a clue, make an invention in a shared laboratory, and then sell it. Patents can make a fortune."

"It's so exciting, this is a golden road in the new era."

"I also have to see if I can bear hardships, so I can calm down and study."

"Hehe, will I be afraid of suffering when I wait for the king of scrolls?"

"Great, there is a new way to start a sideline business."

From this moment on, biohacking has officially entered the public eye.

Zhang Han also took advantage of this upsurge to speak out on the Internet to promote his group.

"Everyone, Mr. Gao is a member of our 'Unlimited Gene' black biological team. It is inseparable from his hard work and sweat that he was able to start from scratch and make such an achievement in just a few months. We are really happy for him."

"At the same time, it is our honor to stand with him and grow together. I believe that other team members will continue to reap the fruits of harvest."

It immediately attracted countless big Vs and marketing accounts to forward it, and it was on the hot search together with the genetically modified pig.

#what is biohacking

Five of the top ten hot searches are related to this matter.

Soon, new news broke out.

Muyuan Group, Wen's Group, New Hope Group and other domestic top ten breeding groups have all started to approach Gao Jun, offering sky-high patent quotations one after another.

This wave is simply adding fuel to the fire, instantly making the disease-resistant pigs popular again. The whole network is full of news about Gao Jun and his disease-resistant pigs.

At the same time, public concerns about genetically modified foods have also begun to surface.

"Didn't it mean that genetically modified food is not good? Then will this pig be edible when it comes to the market?"

"Yes, is this disease-resistant pig a genetically modified pig? Can it be eaten? Is it harmful?"

"@农局局, why don't you come out and explain? We need an authoritative explanation!"

"Where are the experts gone? They don't come out to speak up when they are needed. They usually have a lot of fun."

The Agricultural Bureau couldn't sit still soon. They received the commercial application submitted by Gao Jun at the beginning, and they have been studying this matter for a while, so they responded cautiously.

"There is an essential difference between gene-edited animals and transgenic animals. Gene editing is to insert, knock out, or make changes on the basis of the original gene. The bred animals are more like hybrids, which are very similar to naturally occurring gene mutations, especially if If you don’t insert the gene, but just knock out the gene, you won’t be able to detect any artificial changes.”

"The genetically modified animals and plants are inserted into other genes through viral vectors, which will be contaminated by viral genes, which may cause other unforeseen consequences. Therefore, the Ministry of Agriculture's management of genetically modified genes is very clear and strict, and commercialization must be strict. Follow the roadmap of non-edible, indirect edible, edible."

"Currently, only genetically modified cotton and papaya have been approved for commercial production in China, but no commercial planting of genetically modified food crops has been approved. This will not change for the time being."

"However, we must also fully consider the needs of the industry, and focus on solving the problems of disease resistance, insect pests, water saving and drought resistance, high yield and high quality that restrict agricultural development."

"Disease-resistant pigs are of great significance to my country's breeding industry. They can completely solve the problem of African swine fever and better serve the people's meat protection. Therefore, we will consider this as appropriate when issuing safety certificates."

"Because this is the first case of gene-edited animals, for the sake of safety, we still need to solicit opinions from various parties. Issuing a commercial safety certificate is still under careful consideration. Please pay attention to the follow-up progress."

After the Ministry of Agriculture spoke out, experts also began to express their opinions.

Big Vs in biology are popularizing the difference between gene editing and genetic modification.

There are different opinions on whether the former is safe or not.

Even Academician Chang Sanwei also expressed his views.

"I am very happy to see that domestic biotechnology has not fallen behind, but is at the forefront of the world in terms of application."

"Gene editing is the future trend of biology. Disease-resistant pigs have not introduced virus genes. They can be regarded as hybrids between warthogs and domestic pigs, which are fundamentally different from genetically modified pigs."

"Gene-edited animals are actually a very popular topic in foreign countries. Scientists have long been doing research in this area and have developed some excellent animal breeds. Of course, we still need to continue to verify to confirm these gene-edited animals. It is a safe and reliable source of food."

"Now, it is normal for consumers to have concerns about this. When everyone has a certain understanding of this, they will be able to accept it."

"I believe that in the near future, consumers will be able to see gene-edited food in vegetable markets and supermarkets and make choices."

The issue of gene editing and genetic modification is, in the final analysis, a scientific issue, an issue of the rule of law, and even more an issue of people's hearts.

Whether it is safe or not should be evaluated by science.

Whether it can be commercialized should be dealt with by regulations.

Whether to eat or not should be chosen by the consumers themselves.

Disease-resistant pigs do have great potential, but whether they can be eaten by the masses still needs to be tested by time.

But this is already a big step forward in the application of gene editing technology in agriculture. Presumably in the near future, other gene-edited animals will continue to appear, and sooner or later they will be extended to the people and become part of the food basket.

Just when the disease-resistant pigs caused controversy among the people, Li Chengmin's cloned cats also succeeded.
