?
After being led by Fang Yuan in the corridors for a long time, they finally found their laboratory door in a corner.
The door is a glass door, and the inside doesn't look very big. It's basically the size of a small office area. There aren't many people in sight, and it's deserted, which is in sharp contrast to the software company where the man in the plaid shirt works.
If it weren't for the fact that through the glass door one could see a lot of equipment piled inside, and Fang Yuan had repeatedly confirmed that he had what he needed, otherwise Li Si might not have had any expectations when he saw this shabby place.
"Is that your so-called beautiful boss?"
Standing at the door, Li Si glanced at the "Liu Biopharmaceuticals" sign hanging next to the door, and then looked through the glass bottle at the two figures walking silently and busily inside.
Both of them were wearing white sterile suits. One was a thin man with glasses, his face was as pale as a patient with long-term kidney deficiency, and the other was a woman, but she had frizzy hair and thick dark circles under her eyes. Her face looked good, but the obvious crow's feet at the corners of her eyes had obviously betrayed her age.
"Uh, ahem, evil makeup can kill people."
Fang Yuan smiled awkwardly, and at the same time there was a bit of heartbreaking sadness and indignation on his face.
"My condolences. In fact, considering her profession, you should have thought of it."
Li Si spoke earnestly and compassionately patted the fat man Fang Yuan on the shoulder.
"Go in first."
Fang Yuan was so depressed that he didn't answer the call. He directly pushed open the glass door and led Li Si in.
The laboratory is small, but there is still a lot of equipment, so the aisles are very crowded and you need to be careful when walking through them.
"Please wait here for a moment. I'll go over and tell you that Sister Liu Qin has a bad temper at work."
Fang Yuan made a shushing gesture, and then walked quickly towards the woman who was busy with her head down and didn't notice anyone coming in.
Li Si didn't say anything when he saw this, he just looked at the furnishings inside quietly.
It was a bit beyond his expectation. Although this laboratory was small, it was well-equipped. It was incomparable with his laboratory at Stein Group, but the basic equipment was still very complete.
No matter what era, the most expensive items are always scientific research equipment, high-precision industrial equipment, and medical equipment. Even though this laboratory is small, the cost is not that low.
The place has small facilities and good facilities, which proves that the limited money is spent wisely. This actually makes his impression of this woman named Liu Qin slightly changed.
Unfortunately, it didn't last long.
"Didn't I tell you that you have to wear sterile clothes when you come in? Why did you even bring people in directly?"
"Ask him to wait. My experiments haven't been completed yet, so I don't have time to receive him at the moment."
A few scoldings with annoyance showed the temper of a menopausal woman to the extreme.
"I don't have much ability, but my temper is quite bad."
This short scene created a very bad sensory impression in Li Si's mind.
To be honest, it was just a few scoldings that were very common in the workplace, and it was more than that.
But sometimes mentality is really a very subtle thing.
Just like a student from a well-known university who occasionally sees a top student monk scolding his classmates on the road, he unknowingly adopts a look-down attitude, which is a bit funny, a little helpless, and a bit speechless that "a junior monk can be so arrogant."
The influence of this kind of mentality and thinking form is not transferred by personal will, and it is even impossible for individuals to notice it, because this itself is the manifestation of personal thinking personality. Thinking personality is based on experience. When experience far exceeds the difficulty of the problem, it will naturally feel simpler.
But then again, he really has the capital to say this. He is used to seeing black technology and has dealt with Marvel Comics and that group of black technology big guys. In the real world, Scientist, who is not famous, is really only at the level of a primary school student.
"Lao Li, maybe you have to wait a moment. What Sister Liu Qin doesn't like the most is someone interrupting her while she is doing experiments, and she happens to have made key progress."
After a while, Fang Yuan came back sternly.
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, I just want to take a look and learn a little bit."
Li Si shook his head with a smile, but didn't mind much. He usually waited and looked around with interest, sometimes looking at the equipment and sometimes looking at the movements of the Liu Qin woman.
"What are you studying?"
After waiting for a while, seeing that Liu Qin still had no intention of stopping, Li Si, who had already arrived and was a little bored, couldn't help but ask Fang Yuan.
"Chimerism... uh, why are you asking? You can't understand it even if you tell me. By the way, why do you suddenly want to rent a biological laboratory?"
Fang Yuan, who was in a daze, was about to answer, but then he reacted and looked at Li Si inexplicably.
In his impression, his best friend was an expert at tinkering with computers, but when it came to biology, he knew nine out of ten and was completely clueless.
"Who said I couldn't figure it out? They told me that I have become a self-taught master recently. I rented a laboratory just to prepare some incredible inventions."
Li Si curled his lips.
"You have too much money and no place to throw it away, right?"
Fang Yuan shook his head speechlessly, obviously not believing what Li Si said. In less than a year, he went from a ignorant novice to a top student. How could it be so simple? Even if a true top student studied for a few years, he would at most be just hanging around as a little assistant in the laboratory.
However, what Li Si asked was not a confidential topic, so he shook his head in silence and said, "Have you ever heard of T cell in vitro modification immunotherapy? Sister Liu Qin is currently researching direct chimeric modification of stem cell gene fragments so that they can autonomously differentiate T cells that resist the elimination of specific tumor diseases."
"So that's how it is."
Li Si nodded after hearing this and just smiled.
T cell in vitro modification immunotherapy, to put it bluntly, is to extract human T cells and modify them through gene editing technology so that the T cells can recognize and suppress certain diseased cells. The modified T cells are then cultivated and divided into larger numbers and re-introduced into the human body, allowing the immune system to autonomously eliminate and suppress diseased cells.
The research direction of Liu Biopharmaceuticals is a slight upgrade on this basis, starting from the root stem cells, so that the stem cells can directly differentiate into stronger T cells to immunize or treat diseases such as tumors.
He won't comment on the academic difficulty. For him who is already capable of cross-species gene fusion, this is just child's play. Just talking about project selection, Liu Qin's vision is obviously not good.
Whether it is in vitro transformation or stem cell differentiation, it is just a different implementation method. Both the application value and the commercial value are pitifully low. If we have this time, we might as well study allogeneic T cell transformation.
T cell in vitro modified immunotherapy has the same flaw as Regeneration Serum, that is, it is not universal and can only be tailored to specific individuals.
However, the difficulty of the two is completely different. The complexity of allogeneic and universally modified T cells is not at the same level as the genetic fusion of two different species.
Just like his Life Leap Technology, in the final analysis, they are just genes in human beings. They are embedded in similar positions and have a lot of fault tolerance. They do not reach the level of precision and complexity of Regeneration Serum technology.
"You really know?"
Fang Yuan obviously mistook the smile on Li Si's face for a dry laugh that he didn't understand, but he didn't reveal it and had a surprised expression on his face.
"... Has anyone ever said that your acting skills are fake?"
Li Si rolled his eyes speechlessly and ignored him.
