Chapter 70 Connors’ new assistant

The memo John left was simple:

1. Dr. Connors invites you to discuss in detail in the laboratory.

2. A chip foundry located on the other side of the world hopes to further discuss cooperation.

3. Sheriff Stacey invited to attend a small official meeting.

As for which side to go to first, it's too simple. Of course it's Dr. Connors' side. This is a life-saving matter.

Arriving at Empire State University again, there are more young people on campus now, and school should be about to start.

When Leal walked into the laboratory, he happened to see a man in a suit and tie walking out of the laboratory - the company dog!

The two just looked at each other, with no interaction.

Before he entered the door, Lear heard a young voice inside.

"Professor Connors, are they from the Osborne Group? You rejected their invitation?"

The speaker was a boy who looked about the same age as Lear. He wore glasses and had the typical image of a "nerd easily bullied".

Dr. Connors looked at the data from the side: "Peter, you have to understand that all gifts come at a price, especially gifts from such powerful people."

Bang bang.

Although the door was open, Leal knocked on the door.

Professor Connors frowned when he heard the knock on the door, but when he saw that the person coming was Lear, his eyebrows instantly relaxed.

Connors strode towards Lille:

"Oh! Lear! You're here! Just what I thought! The DNA of the iguana in the Lesser Antilles is very suitable for embedding the DNA of other reptiles!"

With that said, he immediately took Lille to the computer.

The blackboard next to it is filled with dense calculation processes - unlike the 2077 world, here, the computer performance is still slightly flawed.

Some of the models that need to be adjusted also require manual adjustment by researchers - especially Dr. Connors, whose computer skills are relatively low.

Unlike ordinary university Ph.D.s and professors, he used to be a military doctor. He studied molecular biology only after fighting in the war. His computer skills can only be said to be average. He basically managed to complete the modeling and simulation by using both man and machine.

"I have calculated it several times. Inserting DNA into this iguana is the most efficient. It requires the fewest codons to be inserted, the fewest gaps to be cut, and the lowest redundancy.

The survival rate is more than ten times better than the previous best results, with the highest survival rate as high as 96.5%!

I'm still looking for a less redundant solution, but with this probability, we can already start trying to breed genetically modified iguanas! "

From a numerical point of view, it is indeed perfect.

The problem is that Lear understands algorithms, but doesn't know how he got them.

Anyway, there is no problem in mathematics - now that the pressure is on his side, it is impossible to use technology points to send the iguana over, right?

That thing weighs 3.2 kilograms. Where can I get so many points for him?

And whether it can be carried alive is another matter.

So Lear straightened up and showed a gentle smile: "Congratulations, Doctor, our research has made new progress--"

But who is this? "

Lear looked at the boy beside him, even though he had already made a judgment in his heart.

Connors was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he was indeed a little too excited.

"Oh, sorry, I haven't seen you for a long time, I'm a little excited - this is Peter Parker, the assistant I just hired.

Going to Empire State University next year - Peter, this is Lil Lee, my partner. "

"Hello, Peter, please call me Lil."

"Nice to meet you, Leal, Dr. Connors has been meaning to share this result with you."

The two shook hands, and Peter was friendly, but a little shy.

After shaking hands, Lear said: "That was Osborne's person just now?"

"Yes." Connors nodded, "They also wanted to persuade me to accept investment, but I refused. Speaking of which, our next phase of experiments requires a lot of money.

I don't know why they are looking for me more and more frequently - I heard that they have sponsored a research team from another university before. "

Peter muttered at the side: "But Professor, we obviously only need to accept sponsorship from the Osborne Group."

"Peter." Dr. Connors called Peter's name helplessly, "This matter is very complicated. Can you go aside and process today's data first?"

"Okay doctor."

After sending Peter away, Connors continued: "Now let's talk about the funding for the next experiment - there is a small biosafety laboratory inside, BSL-2 level, which meets the requirements for gene editing.

The problem now is that this laboratory has not been used for a long time and needs some maintenance - inspection, renovation, instrument replacement.

I have already put the project on a list, and I have removed the iguana from the list, and it will probably cost about $200,000 to $350,000. "

Seeing the bill, Lille felt dizzy.

To be honest, this is a very good deal, and the biggest venue fee is taken care of by Dr. Connors.

What’s even more distressing is that Dr. Connors added: “Actually, .TALEN editing technology may not be able to meet our needs, and the Osborne Group hinted that they used a new technology.

So if experiments are to be carried out, a new gene editing method may need to be found.

But in that case, it would be a bottomless pit. "

"About this, I will find a way to renovate the laboratory first - how long will it take?"

"I don't know about this, but it should not take more than a month." Conner paused, "I will ask the engineering team to speed up."

On the one hand, we are looking for better gene tailoring solutions, and on the other hand, we are building a laboratory.

But how long does Lille have left to live?

Hard to say.

In the Marvel world, the latest medical report does not include Leal's fancy implants, and it is generally believed that he may still have 4-6 months.

"Of course that would be best, but doctor, I have something good here - look at the performance of this computer, do you think this will be useful?"

Lear came back with a lot of good things this time, and one of the things he wanted to solve was the problem of lagging computer performance.

High-performance computers are expensive, but Lear can design his own chips -- or even make them by hand.

New architecture chip from 2077, 28nm process.

The energy efficiency, computing efficiency and frequency of this thing are far higher than those of the same generation of chips - you must know that the most advanced chip in 2011 is only 32 nanometers and will not be released for a few months.

Of course, the actual foundry level here is not limited to 28 nanometers, but this has to be done step by step.

"Of course a better computer would be more helpful, but is it available?"

"It will be there soon." As he spoke, Lear scratched his left hand, "Professor, do you have any immunosuppressive drugs and anti-inflammatory drugs?"

Connors was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

The temperature in Lille is very high--

He should take three immunosuppressive drugs prescribed to him by Laowei every day, otherwise he would be like this.

The inflammatory response causes body heat, itchy skin, accelerated breathing, and even mild edema.

The good news is that immunosuppressive drugs are available in 2011, but they are much less effective than those in the cyberpunk world.

If possible, just eat a few more.

Dr. Connors was stunned when he saw Leal swallowing the medicine like a jelly bean--

"Lil, don't think too hard!!"

"I can't think about it." Lille drank a glass of water. Perhaps it was a psychological effect, and he felt much better.

"you."

"You know, for physical problems, serious physical problems, you have to take a lot of medicine."

Leer behaved normally and didn't intend to explain anything.

Connors doesn’t need to know too much about cyberpunk.

As he spoke, he injected another shot of anti-inflammatory medicine into his hand.

Connors swallowed.

He previously thought that his tendency to conduct human experiments was very abnormal and unhealthy, but Lear persuaded him.

But now it seems that this guy is actually an expert, right?

This scene also stunned Peter on the side - is this a human being?

"Okay, I have to go, professor. I wish us success."

"You wish us success and go slow on the way out - did you come alone?"

"He came alone." Lear stood up and saw the mobile phone in front of Peter who was in a daze.

This guy works in a laboratory and fishes on his mobile phone.

"Peter--what are you looking at?"

Peter reacted and suddenly covered his cell phone on the table, scratching his head in embarrassment.

"Uh, you know, online videos."

But Lille did see it, and the title of the video was "Spider-Man".

The boy is quite narcissistic.

Lille took a meaningful look at the boy with glasses - he was so thin that even his prosthetic eyes couldn't tell that his muscle content should be significantly higher than that of ordinary people.

Didn't the movie make it clear that Spider-Man actually has superpowers that he can hide?
