In Nursing Home, everyone was discussing the nature of Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root while walking.
"Replace the cell nucleus with that Spiritual Qi structure?" Zheng Fa's words made Professor Tian suddenly laugh. She said to Zheng Fa, "This technology is actually simpler than I thought before."
"Actually, you should have studied it in high school."
Before Zheng Fa could say anything, Tang Lingwu on the side suddenly realized. "Clone sheep!"
"Yes, the research on replacing cell nuclei has actually been very in-depth." Professor Tian said, "Especially plant cells are simpler. The somatic cells of plant cells have potential totipotency. With the help of cytokinin or auxin, they can develop into complete plants."
"If this idea is really feasible, then we can find some root cells and shoot tip cells, culture them a little, and then we can test them."
Before, when Zheng Fa said he wanted to study Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root, Professor Tian was still a little scared.
But looking at her expression now, there are only two words written on her face - that's it?
Professor Tian sighed again, "Today I learned what True Disciple is... The only difficulty with this thing is actually realizing that the structure of Spiritual Qi is equivalent to the nucleus of Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root."
Tang Lingwu on the side shook his head, clapped his fingers, and counted slowly:
"That's not a word."
"First, we have to figure out Five-Element Sub-Talisman."
"With Five-Element Sub-Talisman, we need to understand the relationship between Five-Element Spells and Five-Element Spirit Materials."
"Finally, we can understand the possible function of this Spiritual Qi structure."
Zheng Fa nodded as he listened. This understanding is simple to say, but it is completely based on their research a few days ago. Some things are easy for those who know how to do them, but not difficult for those who can't.
Otherwise, even if you see the cell diagram of Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root, you will just be confused - this can be seen from Venerable Chengkong's reluctant attitude and the inability to revive Pure Tranquility Bamboo.
It can be seen that in Five Sects of Xuanwei, they did not understand this principle.
From Zheng Fa's point of view, they may not be able to see the cell structure of Spirit Root - although there is no Microscopic Formation, Supreme Dao should not be lacking in all kinds of clairvoyance, and maybe there is a way to see a certain microscopic world.
The problem is... their fundamentals are flawed.
For example, even if they see Spiritual-Energy Cell Nucleus, if they cannot understand the significance of the nucleus to cell growth, they may not be able to find the key point.
Even if they understand it, they may not be able to understand the principle without understanding the DNA replication ability and genetic information.
The structure of Spiritual Qi is equal to the nucleus of a cell. Behind this simple sentence is a huge and solid knowledge system. Now that the connection between modern times and Xuanwei Realm is getting closer and closer, what is most helpful to Zheng Fa is actually this knowledge system.
Tang Lingwu suddenly looked a little weird, as if he had thought of something, and said:
"The next step in the experiment is to use the Spiritual Qi structure in Zheng Fa cells and fuse it with various mulberry cells to see if Fusang Wood can be cultured? According to the cloning theory, if we really culture Fusang Wood, it will have to be called Zheng Fa..."
"Mom!"
Upon hearing this, Professor Tian's expression was even more ridiculous than Tang Lingwu's. After holding it in for a long time, she finally couldn't help but sigh:
"I don't have a child yet... I didn't expect that Zheng Fa would actually compare me to having a child..."
"..."
No, shouldn't you blame Old Man Bai for this matter?
Zheng Fa didn't want to discuss this topic further, so he thought of Old Man Bai. He turned around and glanced around, finally realized something was wrong, and asked the two of them, "Where is Professor Bai?"
"He? He went down the mountain!"
Zheng Fa patted his forehead and felt a little guilty. These days, his mind was on Great Freedom Devil Ancestor, but he neglected one thing - today is Old Man Bai's birthday.
He came down the mountain to celebrate his birthday with his daughter and her family.
"Why don't you let them come up the mountain?"
Zheng Fa asked.
Professor Tian avoided Zheng Fa's gaze, looked at Lingtian aside and said, "I'm afraid I'll be embarrassed. After all, I'm not familiar with his daughter and son-in-law."
Zheng Fa frowned.
Professor Tian, is an extremely generous character.
How could it be so easy to be embarrassed?
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Professor Tian suddenly laughed and said, "He wants to come back and try it again. This guy is greedy!"
She had an expression on her face that she couldn't hide.
But Zheng Fa didn't hide it from her this time: he didn't believe this reason either.
Old Man Bai The atmosphere at my daughter's house is very strange at this time.
"Grandpa, grandpa! Look if I'm practicing well!"
Old Man Bai's grandson stood in front of him like a calf, and with every move and shout, he hit the new generation Broadcast Calisthenics with great vigor - the one developed by the Nine Mountains Martial Arts Hall.
"Okay! Okay!"
Old Man Bai squinted his eyes and nodded, the curly hair on his head trembling, looking very happy.
"Dad said, grandpa, you created this! You want me to learn from it!"
Old Man Bai raised his head and looked at his son-in-law, who had a somewhat flattering expression on his side. He pursed his lips, smiled slightly, and just nodded lightly towards him.
"Dad! The meal is ready!"
His daughter also looked more graceful than before. She was wearing a windbreaker behind the apron. The famous brand logo on it made Old Man Bai squint his eyes. He glanced at his grandson and said nothing.
It's not a birthday party, and Old Man Bai doesn't want to go out to eat, so he plans to have a simple meal at his daughter's house.
At the dinner table, Old Man Bai was laughing and playing with his grandchildren.
On the contrary, his daughter and son-in-law exchanged glances, as if they had something to say.
"Dad..."
Finally, the daughter who was closer spoke.
"Eat, let's talk after eating."
Unexpectedly, Old Man Bai interrupted her directly.
Old Man Bai's daughter looked a little dissatisfied, but she didn't dare to speak. She didn't focus on the food at all during the meal.
After finishing the meal, Old Man Bai asked his grandson to go downstairs to play, and then he said to his daughter and son-in-law, who had been holding back for a long time. "Tell me."
"Dad, you are too partial..."
His daughter always blamed him when she opened her mouth.
"Partiality?"
"Your biological daughter and your biological grandson can't live in the mountains, but my stepmother can live in the mountains... It doesn't matter."
"We want to go up to the mountain to celebrate your birthday today, but why can't we do that!"
Old Man Bai listened to his daughter's complaints and didn't speak, just nodded lightly.
"What else?"
"Also... the job they assigned to your son-in-law is that of a handyman..."
It seems that there is a lot of dissatisfaction accumulated, and Old Man Bai's daughter talks more and more.
Until she stopped, Old Man Bai asked again:
"Anything else?"
"No..."
After his daughter finished speaking, she looked a little worried.
Old Man Bai turned his eyes to his son-in-law and said, "Did you complain to her about this?"
"Dad, I didn't..."
"I asked them to stuff your job at the grassroots level."
"Dad?"
His daughter and son-in-law looked even more puzzled.
"Professor Tian actually told you to go up the mountain, but I didn't agree."
"Dad!"
"I won't let you go to this birthday. I will do it myself. That's my intention."
"..."
Old Man Bai looked at his daughter and then at his son-in-law, with a very disappointed expression.
"I'm biased. I gave you all my money to buy a house in Capital City? Xiao Tian is in the mountains because she has the ability!"
"This..."
"Isn't that enough?" Old Man Bai snorted and said, "If you want to sleep with Nursing Home, do you want to celebrate my birthday, or do you want to curry favor with Zheng Fa?"
"... What is flattery? It's not like I've never seen him before!"
Old Man Bai ignored his daughter's words and turned to look at his son-in-law. "And you, I transferred you to Capital City. How many days have you been working properly?"
"Dad?"
His son-in-law was shocked.
"Who can't see through your thoughts..." Old Man Bai sighed, "Zheng Fa has been upset and frowning these days. Are you just going to bother him by letting you go?"
"Dad, I am your daughter, why do you think so much about Zheng Fa?"
"Your father and I are now free from illness and disaster, and you are much more filial than before. Why are you clamoring to go up the mountain to take care of me every day? Why?"
Old Man Bai said it bluntly without giving any face.
His daughter looked embarrassed.
"If I don't think about him, who should I think about?"
His daughter and son-in-law stopped talking.
"You guys, you were fine before, but now your thoughts are too complicated, and you are still thinking about promotion..." Old Man Bai shook his head again and said, "You think you are the only smart ones? I don't know how many people want to come to Nursing Home by wishing me a birthday. When I go down the mountain, I also want to block these people!"
"Are you just here for Zheng Fa's peace?"
"This is for your own good too!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at his daughter and son-in-law. Knowing that they didn't listen, he could only shake his head and stop explaining.
However, his grandson played downstairs for a while, and when he came back, he cleverly noticed something was wrong. He avoided his parents, secretly ran to his grandfather, and asked, "Grandpa, aren't you happy?"
Old Man Bai raised his head, glanced at his little grandson, and laughed, "From now on, you should study hard and don't be like your parents, who think all over the place."
His grandson is a little confused.
But Old Man Bai seemed to be just sighing, and I didn't expect him to really understand.
"Your parents still haven't seen it through. Zheng Fa It's impossible for him to like their characters..."
When the little grandson heard the name Zheng Fa, his eyes moved.
"Have you heard of it? Yes, your parents also told you." Old Man Bai touched his grandson's head, "No matter what your parents said to you, they don't understand that the world is different anymore, let alone Zheng Fa's character. If you want to please people, they can't find the way!"
"You should study hard from now on, practice martial arts hard, and don't be anxious about anything."
"Naturally, everything will be fine."
His grandson was even more confused. "What's there?"
Old Man Bai was about to speak when the door rang suddenly.
As soon as he opened the door with his grandson, dozens of strong men and women bowed to him and shouted in unison, "Teacher, the disciples are here to wish you a happy birthday!"
Old Man Bai smiled and waved, letting them in before saying, "It's so far away. I told you not to come before. Why did you come?"
These are the Nine Mountains Martial Arts Hall owners in each province.
In name, they are all Old Man Bai's disciples, but now on Old Man Bai's birthday, people from all over the world are actually coming.
"How can we forget the kindness of teaching us!"
"We still have filial piety!"
"Yes, yes, with filial piety!"
These people took out some gift boxes, some of which were jade and antiques, and some of which were specialties from various places. But at a glance, Old Man Bai knew that they were of great value.
It would have been crowded enough when dozens of people came in, but with these gift boxes, there was nowhere to stay.
Old Man Bai glanced at these things, waved his hand and said, "I'm not being polite, just take these back."
"Coach! This is our little care!"
"If you call me your instructor, then you must listen to me."
"..."
"Put your things away and take them back."
In the room, his daughter and son-in-law looked a little regretful, but at this moment, they did not dare to say anything.
Seeing his persistence, these disciples did not dare to force him to give him away. The group of people had no choice but to chat with Old Man Bai. The house was very lively for a while.
After a while, there was another knock on the door.
As soon as the door opened, even Old Man Bai was a little surprised. "Old Dean?"
An old man and a middle-aged man came in. The old man nodded to Old Man Bai and pointed to the middle-aged Humanity's Dao beside him. "Let me introduce to you, this is the vice president of our Beijing University."
The expression on the middle-aged face was extremely sincere. "Professor Bai! Happy birthday!"
"Thank you!" Old Man Bai was much more polite when he met the people from his old unit. He shook hands with the vice principal and heard the other person say, "This time, I brought you a gift!"
Old Man Bai was stunned when he saw the other party take out a certificate from the document bag.
"We at Beijing University would like to hire you Professor Bai as our honorary president..."
"This... I don't have the energy now."
"Honorary Principal, I have nothing to trouble you on weekdays..."
The vice principal said sincerely.
...Capital University Since when did you have such a position that you can tell from a related household?
Old Man Bai moved his mouth, then looked at the old dean who had worked with him for many years. Seeing a hint of pleading on his face, he could only sigh softly and accepted the appointment letter.
Seeing him like this, the martial arts masters actually showed a slightly envious expression towards these two visitors from Beijing University.
After these two people, there was an endless stream of visitors.
People from all walks of life, including Academy of Social Sciences, the military, and even officials.
Whether they were familiar with it or not, they all found a reason to celebrate their birthdays and crowded into Old Man Bai's daughter's house.
For those with certain status, there is also a seat.
He didn't have any status, so after saying a few words, he saw that there was no place to stay in the house, so he left with regret.
Old Man Bai The grandson looked at the room full of people and the gifts coming and going. In his immature mind, he suddenly understood what it meant that everything would be possible...
People in the room were talking, mostly Old Man Bai was talking, and others were listening.
Then, the door rang again.
Old Man Bai Grandson opened the door and was suddenly stunned.
"Who?"
Old Man Bai asked.
"A beautiful sister and a tall brother!"
his grandson shouted.
Old Man Bai suddenly stood up. Not only him, but everyone in the room stood up and looked at Zheng Fa and Tang Lingwu who walked into the room.
When Zheng Fa entered the door, he glanced at this ignorant child - Why is it that Tang Lingwu is beautiful, but now he is tall?
The two of them ignored the other people in the room, walked directly to Old Man Bai, and shouted in unison, "Teacher, happy birthday!"
Old Man Bai was startled, his eyes blinked and suddenly turned red.
The title teacher... reminded the three of them of their days at Qingshui Middle School.
At that time, both Zheng Fa and Tang Lingwu were tutoring at Old Man Bai's home.
There is no Nursing Home yet, there is no cultivating immortals, and there is no room full of guests, just one old and two young people under the lamp.
Although it didn't take long.
But in the hearts of the three of them, it seemed that the world had changed a lot and it seemed like a world away.
In fact, it's his birthday today, which makes him a little unhappy:
His birthday is more lively than before.
In this room full of people, they all have other purposes. Behind their smiling faces are fame and wealth. How many people are really happy for his birthday?
Neither my daughter nor my son-in-law have this intention.
Now, Zheng Fa came to the door again as students, with a simple word "teacher" and two smiling faces that seemed to have remained unchanged.
It actually made Old Man Bai, who smiles every day, want to cry.
Others didn't know what he was feeling. They just listened to Zheng Fa's "teacher" voice and glanced at each other, as if they were evaluating the relationship between the three of them, especially Old Man Bai's position in Zheng Fa's heart.
Old Man Bai himself could feel that the words "teacher" actually made the big shots with some status look more in awe towards him.
"Why don't you wait for me to go back?"
Tang Lingwu looked at Zheng Fa, and Zheng Fa smiled at Old Man Bai, "Didn't you give me a surprise before you got old? I also want to give you a surprise!"
Old Man Bai patted Zheng Fa on the shoulder and said nothing.
After her birthday, Old Man Bai seems to be very busy.
I don't see anyone almost every day.
But Zheng Fa and the others were also busy fusing the Spiritual Qi structure in his cells with various mulberry cells, not just mulberry cells, but various plant cells - because they were not sure what kind of fuso it was, they simply let go of their ideas.
The experiment proceeds slowly.
Old Man Bai is still missing, secretly, and seems to be busy with his own affairs.
Until one night.
"Professor Bai?"
Looking at Old Man Bai who placed the tablet in front of him, looking a bit like taking credit, Zheng Fa also looked a little confused.
"Look!"
Old Man Bai said mysteriously.
Zheng Fa clicked on the tablet computer, and there was actually an interface for reading software.
There is only one book in the software. The book is very big and has hundreds of G's.
On the cover image of the book, there is a long name written: <Topology Learning in Talisman--Starting from Lesser Cloud-Rain Talisman>.
After opening it, Zheng Fa will understand why this file is so big.
In this book, Old Man Bai completely integrates Topology science and rune knowledge.
In other words, the backbone is complete Topology knowledge, but each Topology knowledge point is equipped with a corresponding rune analysis method.
It also incorporates various Talisman Diagram that they have found over the past few years - that's why the file is so large.
Zheng Fa After reading a few pages, I understood:
Although this book contains no new knowledge, it is the culmination of their rune research in the past few years!
By studying this book, on the one hand, you can learn the systematic Topology knowledge, and on the other hand, you can learn the most comprehensive Talisman Diagram. Even in this book, these two knowledges have a vague sense of integration.
For the Nine Mountains Realm, this book is both practical and theoretical!
He even felt that after searching Xuanwei, Nine Mountains and even modern times, there was only one person who could write this book - Old Man Bai.
"Professor Bai, when did you start writing?"
This book cannot be completed overnight.
"Didn't I write a textbook before?"
"Hmm."
"I stopped writing it later." Old Man Bai said with a smile.
Zheng Fa's eyes widened slightly. At that time, Old Man Bai said that this thing was his most ambitious work in Mathematics in his life. Did he just give up?
Old Man Bai saw his expression and said with a smile, "I can't call you teacher in vain, can I?"
Only then did Zheng Fa know what Old Man Bai has been busy with recently, and his expression couldn't help but feel a little touched.
"Actually, it's nothing. I can write a book later..." Old Man Bai didn't seem to like being moved. He waved his hand and said, "I can't die, I can afford to wait."
Zheng Fa nodded.
Tang Lingwu suddenly asked, "Grandpa Bai, can you wait? Capital University Press, the editor who requested the manuscript from you... can you wait?"
"... cough!" Old Man Bai puffed out his chest, "Introduce yourself, I, Capital University Honorary Principal!"
"..."
