Chapter 166 Ji Zining’S Life Is Gone
The scattered bacteria in the microscope field of view have all turned into corpses, and their intestines are pierced and rotten, as if they were shot through by bullets!
In the corner, a few broom-shaped filamentous fungi were still alive, floating quietly, looking weak.
The black technology blueprint was turned out in front of my eyes, and a prompt box popped up:
[Congratulations on obtaining bacteria with unknown antibiotic potential! Please name it! 】
"Just call it...Song Jun!"
[Song fungus: a wild fungus that can secrete unknown antibiotics. When faced with a complex environment, it will secrete antibiotics explosively to defend itself, but then it will fall into a long-term weak state, eating very slowly, and the number of conidia used for reproduction will be reduced. Rare, with low survival rate in nature]
Song He looked ecstatic!
Song Jun has a very good temper. He does not hesitate to overextend himself, but also fires violently to kill all the bacteria on the land with antibiotics. He is quite domineering!
But Song Jun also has obvious shortcomings. He eats slowly and gives birth to fewer babies, and he is prone to die!
The little thing is very capable of beating, but is it useless? When you come out to hang out, you need to be powerful and have a good background. In the world of microorganisms, rapid reproduction and many offspring are powerful!
These Song fungi are probably the product of accidental mutations in the natural environment. If they had not been brought to the laboratory, they might have become extinct in a few days simply due to slow eating and few births.
Song He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth crazily. The little thing was lucky to be in the hands of his father, and he was guaranteed to be fed!
Compared with the greenhouse engineering fungus raised last week, Song Fungus is simply stronger with eight-pack abs!
"What did you find?" The old man in the wheelchair couldn't help but ask after waiting for a long time.
Song He then realized that Professor Ma was waiting aside, and quickly removed the microscope and placed it on the armrest of the wheelchair.
Professor Ma looked at it carefully and looked surprised.
"These broom-shaped fungi are somewhat similar to Penicillium, but not exactly the same. Can you test its genes to see if they belong to a known species?"
"Grow a colony and test it again! It should be a new strain!" Song He smiled broadly, "I'll temporarily name it Song bacteria!"
Professor Ma said solemnly, "If it is really a new antibiotic bacteria and is of great value, you can indeed name it yourself!"
"Song Jun is still in trouble for the time being. I have to cultivate and improve it." Song He said firmly, "Make it eatable and healthy!"
"It's better if it's improved. It doesn't matter if it can't be improved. It can be gene edited!" Professor Ma nodded.
Song He continued to be busy, took out eight more culture bottles, quickly prepared the culture solution, and inoculated the Song bacteria into it.
All eight culture bottles were labeled, [Song bacteria! precious! Don't move! 】
After hesitating for a moment, he put two more identical labels on each bottle.
This is a strain that can save thousands of lives. The important label is attached three times!
Half an hour later, Professor Ma was so sleepy that he yawned continuously.
He looked at the energetic Song He in surprise for a long time, and then left in his wheelchair in confusion.
"Young people are amazing. They can stay up for two nights." Professor Ma murmured to himself, a little depressed, "Am I really old?"
Song He didn't hear the sound of the wheelchair going away. He was immersed in his work and couldn't extricate himself.
Although Song Jun performed well, the progress of the black technology blueprint is only 30%, and there is still 10% left to complete the step of "finding potential bacteria".
In other words, another potential bacteria needs to be found!
Song He is confused. Isn’t it the same kind of bacteria that produces antibiotics? What do you need two kinds of bacteria for?
He had a vague hunch that the black technology blueprint was going to be a big one and do something that would break through existing biological theories.
Full of expectations, he continued to search through the petri dishes in the room.
…
Six o'clock in the morning.
The laboratory door opened, and Tao Miaochun came in yawning, his eyelids too sleepy to open.
At a glance, she saw the upright young man in the second laboratory, with a look of distress and relief.
"This kid works so hard!"
"This kind of spelling will not last long. It will take many years to come up with results. It is unrealistic to expect results to be achieved overnight."
"Young people are still impatient!"
Tao Miaochun walked over and glanced at the petri dishes everywhere with a little surprise. He felt that the size of the petri dishes had become larger again. This child was really ambitious and extremely hardworking.
She stood next to Song He and asked casually, "Song He, how was the experiment?"
"Good morning, Professor Tao! We only found a fungus that secretes antibiotics." Song He said calmly.
"It doesn't matter. Scientific research is a protracted battle. We just want to find..." Tao Miaochun said halfway, the sleepiness on his face suddenly disappeared, "What?! The fungi that secrete antibiotics have been found!"
"Yes, it's a new fungus. I named it Song Fungus." Song He nodded.
"New fungus!" Tao Miaochun almost jumped up, "Let me see, let me see! Where is it!"
Song He pointed at the corner of the table. A total of 16 culture bottles were neatly placed, with three eye-catching labels on each bottle. After cultivating in the middle of the night, Song Jun had many more bottles.
Tao Miaochun was very quick and took the sample to observe under the microscope.
The moment she saw Song Jun, she trembled with excitement!
Without saying a word, she rushed to the first laboratory, took an E. coli sample, mixed it with the Song bacterium sample, put it into the microscope with trembling hands, and held her breath to observe.
In the field of vision, a bunch of E. coli spread menacingly.
In the corner, the filamentous Song Fungi tangled into a broom shape suddenly took action, spraying an unknown substance.
The next second, a gorgeous effect appeared, and the E. coli began to burst!
The rupture speed was very fast, and a series of E. coli bacteria exploded like firecrackers, and blood and flesh flew everywhere, as if they were hit by a machine gun!
"It's true! It can really secrete antibiotics!" Tao Miaochun almost screamed.
Song He was startled. He had never seen Professor Tao lose his temper like this before.
Professor Tao, you are not young anymore. You should maintain the kind and dignified demeanor of a master instead of yelling like a child...
"Did you do a genetic test?" Tao Miaochun grabbed Song He's shoulders, "Did it compare with the bacterial library? Is it confirmed to be a new variety of antibiotic bacteria?"
"Gene test? We haven't had time to do it yet." Song He shook his head.
"I'll do it for you!" Tao Miaochun picked up a culture bottle of Song bacteria and rushed towards the first laboratory.
Song He scratched his head. He was originally calm, but Professor Tao was so excited that he was a little excited.
As for the results of the genetic test, he is not worried. He has seen commonly used antibiotic bacteria in books countless times, and he can recognize them even if they turn into ashes. Their appearance is very different from Song bacteria.
Moreover, the black technology blueprint indicates that it is an "unknown" and "wild fungus", which means that Song fungi must be a brand new species of bacteria that has not been discovered by humans!
The work is not done yet and it is too early to drink and celebrate.
He leaned forward and continued to lie on the microscope, his handsome eyebrows calm and focused.
…
Meanwhile, the school cafeteria.
Dean Lou, Lu Chengen, and Ji Zining were sitting at the same table eating, each holding a fried dough stick and soaking it in soy milk.
"Professor Ma is not in a good mood when he comes back this time." Dean Lou sounded worried.
"What project is Professor Ma working on outside and it's not going well?" Ji Zining guessed casually, "Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. Last month, Nature published a paper by Mr. Ma. He should be full of joy."
"Who knows, Mr. Ma is mysterious." Lu Chengen said, "He has always had a weird temper, but he is a leading figure, what's wrong with having a temper? The key is that he can guide us in making antibiotics when he comes back!"
"Speaking of antibiotics, I heard that Song He was also involved?" Dean Lou smiled.
"That kid did a good job. He actually went out to dig the soil and came back to start from scratch!" Ji Zining praised, "Although I don't expect a child to produce results, it is gratifying that the younger generation is so serious!"
After saying that, Ji Zining turned around and looked at Lu Chengen, gritting his teeth, "The younger generation has followed another mentor. It's so jealous!"
"Be more open-minded, you won't live long if you are unhappy!" Lu Chengen bit into a fried dough stick and joked, "You should be lucky that Song He is young. If he is a college student, he can really achieve something if he is assigned to me, such as coming up with new antibiotics. What will your mentality be?"
"I'll just jump off the building!" Ji Zining said angrily.
"That's right! Song He is young. He only came to study with me for two weeks. He doesn't have time to make any shocking achievements. You should be lucky!" Lu Chengen said with a smile, "Your life is saved!"
Suddenly, the cell phone rang.
The three people at the table took out their mobile phones at the same time. Lu Chengen raised his mobile phone and said, "Professor Tao made the call."
Dean Lou and Ji Zining looked at each other in surprise.
They will go to the laboratory in a few minutes. What can't be said in person, why should they make a phone call in a hurry?
"Hello?" Lu Chengen answered the call, and his expression suddenly changed, "What? God! Don't be kidding me! Really? OK, OK! Go right away!"
Dean Lou looked nervous, "What's wrong?"
Lu Chengen stood up suddenly, his eyes widened, and turned to look at Ji Zining, "You can't save your life!"
