Cultivate a black technology god

Chapter 159

Maserati's girly fan aircraft also attracted many people, most of whom were men.

Xia Zhi originally wanted to buy one as a gift for his girlfriend, but later he remembered that he broke up a long time ago.

He and Chu Yuqi had disagreements, Chu Yuqi and Xia Zhi were in a relationship without considering marriage.

And Xia Zhi still wanted to get married early, settle the marriage, and then have a child to finish the job.

In Chu Yuqi's view, Xia Zhi's marriage is like completing a task, and she is not regarded as a soul mate, but just a tool for marriage.

She could imagine that she didn't have a chance to go out with Xia Zhi for a few months after the marriage.

So after a cooling-off period, the two finally decided to break up peacefully.

The matter of Xia Zhi's breakup was also on the hot search, and everyone was very surprised, how could a girl break up with him, a real diamond king like Xia Zhi.

Even if you break up, you have to wait until you get married before breaking up.

Even if only a small proportion of the property is distributed, it is more than eleven figures, which is enough to break the record of Bill Gates' sky-high breakup fee.

After careful investigation, everyone found out that Xia Zhi's ex-girlfriend Chu Yuqi was not short of money.

Chu Yuqi's father is the first invisible rich man in the real estate industry in China.

It is said that his assets are equal to those of Wang Jianlin.

Living in a wealthy environment since she was a child, money is completely unattractive to Chu Yuqi.

What she wants to buy, her father's money is enough to buy.

Moreover, it would be embarrassing to split the money after getting divorced.

It's better to break up peacefully and become friends with Xia Zhi, a man who can change the future of the world.

No, Xia Zhi thinks that Maserati's new limited-edition aircraft is pretty good-looking, and has nothing to give to his girlfriend, so he buys one and gives it to his ex-girlfriend Chu Yuqi.

Chu Yuqi readily accepted and returned the gift. She introduced her best friend to Xia Zhi.

On this day, Xia Zhi didn't drive to the Zhixia Science and Technology Office Building, but went straight to Zhixia University of Science and Technology.

At the gate of Zhixia Technology, the guard recognized Xia Zhi, hurriedly came out of the reception room and stood there, welcoming Xia Zhi in.

When Xia Zhi went in, he said something to the guard:
"I don't want to tell the principal and the dean when I come here."

Salute outside the door and respond:

"Okay, Mr. Xia."

Xia Zhi didn't disturb anyone, quietly came to the Institute of Biological Sciences, and found Tian Yamei who was studying genetic engineering here.

The day before, Xia Zhi received a message from Tian Yamei, saying that the algorithm and equipment had been upgraded and that Xia Zhi could conduct in-depth genetic testing.

The new technology used by Tian Yamei is the black technology algorithm that Xia Zhi gave her.

After collecting points during this period, Xia Zhi got the reward of the genetic engineering series of sub-tasks rewarded by the system in his mind: the gene sequencing algorithm.

He handed over the algorithm to Tian Yamei for equipment improvement.

After getting the news about Tian Yamei, Xia Zhi told his secretary to cancel all today's schedule and come here to experience genetic testing.

Seeing Tian Yamei in the office, Xia Zhi took off his coat and asked:
"Xiaomei, how about the new algorithm? The effect is not bad, right?"

With a smile on her face, Tian Yamei nodded and said:
"This algorithm is really advanced, it makes up for the distortion problem of previous genetic predictions, and it can almost be said to have laid the cornerstone of genetic engineering."

Although Tian Yamei was very curious about how Xia Zhi got this algorithm.

But after following Xia Zhi for the past few years, Tian Yamei knew Xia Zhi very well, so she wisely kept silent about the source of the algorithm.

Xia Zhi followed the procedures, took blood and other operations, and then sat in the lounge waiting for the test results.

While waiting, he glanced at the system in his brain:
[Mission in progress: Human Gene Project - Gene Cloning]

[Development time: 17 days]

[Energy input: 847 points]

[Investment funds: 16487 points]

[External assistance: 85467 points]

[Total mission points: 35 points]

[Note: The minimum points required to enable system assistance: 100 task points. 】

This is a new subtask activated after the previous quest 'Gene Sequencing' is completed.

After the last task was completed, the system rewarded [-] initial task points, and up to now, Xiaomei's work has earned five task points.

The progress is neither fast nor slow.

Half an hour later, the genetic sequencing results came out.

Compared with the previous technology, the gene sequencing results provided by the system are not only accurate, but also efficient and fast, and the results can be produced in only half an hour.

Xiaomei came over with the test report.

Xia Zhi looked at the test report and frowned:
"What are these genetic defects?"

Xiaomei corrected and said:

"Mr. Xia, these are not considered genetic defects. They should be said to be genetic shortcomings, which will not affect normal physiological activities."

Xia Zhi asked again:

"Is that all right?"

Xiaomei shook her head again:
"After this period of research, the gene sequencing you gave me can get a lot of genetic information that we can't understand the deep meaning for the time being, such as these genetic short boards, I personally understand it as a kind of selective degeneration, such as The degradation of speed and strength does not rule out that it may cause some diseases in the future."

Xia Zhi asked:
"Is there any treatment? Is there any way?"

Xiaomei replied:

"For genetic problems, we still need gene therapy, but our technology is not yet mature enough."

Xia Zhi pointed to the office next to him:

"Over there, let's talk about it in detail."

Xiaomei nodded, followed Xia Zhi to the room, and closed the door.

Xia Zhi looked at Xiaomei and asked seriously:
"How far has your technology developed now?"

Xiaomei said frankly:

"If you try to repair the gene, you have to use gene editing. There are not many experiments on gene editing in history, and it is still experimental, with certain risks.

In addition, there are also ethical and legal issues to face. "

Xia Zhi was taken aback. He could understand that gene editing has technical obstacles, but why is there still legal risk:

"Huh? What's the legal issue?"

Mei explained:

"Since the incident in genetic research in 18, relevant departments have been particularly strict in controlling non-curative gene activities, especially in research departments like ours that are not qualified to practice medicine."

Xia Zhi interrupted Xiaomei:

"What's wrong with 18 years?"

Xiaomei explained:

"In 18, He Jiankui and others committed the crime of illegal medical practice due to their joint illegal practice.

The court sentenced He Jiankui to three years in prison and a fine of 300 million yuan.

Chen Yelin, a researcher at the Interdisciplinary Research Center of Biology and Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that the reason why He Jiankui's experiment caused great controversy is that the "off-target effect" of CRISPR technology is obvious (off-target effect refers to the failure to achieve the pre-set goal, some offset phenomenon), resulting in huge experimental risks.

So it's not legally allowed.

If we conduct experiments secretly and spread the word accidentally, there is a high probability that our genetic engineering project will be stopped, and other related work of Zhixia Institute of Technology will also be affected.

Moreover, the matter of genetic illegal behavior is not big or small, if it is exaggerated by someone with a heart, it will also hurt the reputation of Zhixia Technology. "

Xia Zhi nodded:
"We'll go from a tech pioneer to a tech lunatic."

Xiaomei was silent, waiting for Xia Zhi's decision.

Xia Zhi also understands how difficult gene editing is. After all, in the current systematic genetic engineering series of tasks, the second sub-task is only gene cloning.

Gene editing should be a later task.

Thinking of this, he asked Xiaomei:

"By the way, tell me about gene cloning."
