Perhaps Nancy Kira had a good impression of Chen Zhao.
Or perhaps he wanted to study the shark and dolphin family here.
His attitude was a bit arrogant, but it wasn't that he wanted to be disrespectful to Chen Zhao.
It was just his personality. Simply put, he had low EQ and high IQ.
He spoke without considering other people's feelings.
Although it was hard to communicate with Nancy Kira.
However, Chen Zhao didn't plan on developing a friendship with him.
"Where do you live? I'll take you home. "
The two didn't stand on ceremony with Chen Zhao.
Send Nancy Chila home first.
"Isaac, where do you live?"
"115 East Street."
After a moment of silence, Isaac asked, "Mr. Chen, do you own a pharmaceutical company?"
"No," Chen Zhao replied indifferently.
"Mr. Chen, there's something that Professor Nancy didn't make clear," Isaac said meaningfully.
Chen Zhao drove and glanced at Isaac from the corner of his eye. "Oh? What didn't he say? "
"He's a marine biology expert and even the best marine biology researcher, but he's not the most proficient in marine mollusks."
"Are you?" Chen Zhao asked.
"I'm more proficient than him," Isaac said confidently.
"Earlier, Professor Nancy said that it's theoretically possible to make octopuses mutate through artificial stimulation, but because of the destruction of recessive genes, their functions will die and they won't be able to survive for long."
"Yes, that's what Professor Nancy said. Is there a problem with what he said?"
"No, but it's not unsolvable."
"How?"
"Just like a human individual, if he suddenly changes his lifestyle, habits, or even eating habits, the human individual will suffer from illness or even death. It's the same for octopuses. Of course, the mutation we're talking about is a more intense and radical method, so octopuses can hardly survive. If you want the mutated gene to survive, you can only do so through reproduction. Just like the survival of the fittest in the theory of evolution, after a dozen generations of reproduction, the mutated gene will become stable, and a new species will appear."
"What you said about relying on reproduction to stabilize genes, there is a big flaw in this. The first-generation mutant can be cultivated into a second-generation mutant through artificial reproduction by extracting seminal vesicles, but the genes of the second-generation mutant must still be in an unstable stage. Can they survive to maturity? Not to mention a dozen generations of reproduction. "
"Octopuses can lay up to 100,000 eggs at a time. Among these 100,000 eggs, there will always be a small number of second-generation mutants that can survive. This is a matter of probability. Because the large number increases the success rate of the experiment. If it were an ordinary mammal or an animal that lays fewer eggs, it would be much more difficult." "These second-generation mutants that survived will be bred into the third and fourth generations. Their offspring's survival rate will gradually increase, and their genetic stability will gradually increase. Finally, they will become a new species."
"It does sound possible, but what about the actual operation?"
"Of course, the actual operation is not as simple as the theory. This requires the accumulation of a huge amount of research and experimental data."
"Looks like you have experience in these kinds of experiments."
"Not me, but my senior and Professor Nanston's assistant, Homesius. Five years ago, when I first came to the Marine Biology Research Institute, I was arranged to work under Homesius. He's an expert in marine soft-bodied creatures. I worked under Homesius for a year and came into contact with large amounts of experiments and data. I'm already very familiar with the entire process. However, for some reason, Professor Nanston and Homesius got into a conflict. They argued intensely in the office, and then Homesius left the institute in anger with his experimental data. I replaced Homesius and became Professor Nanston's assistant."
"Huh? Have you been in contact with Homesius all these years? "Chen Zhao asked.
"Two years ago, Homesius was looking for investors who were willing to fund his research. At that time, I could feel his disappointment. He looked for many people, but none of them were able to get an investor. The next year, things seemed to have changed. At that time, I could feel the change in his tone and state of mind. Later, he invited me to quit my current job and return to his side to continue being his assistant, but I refused."
Chen Zhao glanced at Isaac. He had a rough idea of what kind of person Isaac was.
They hadn't interacted much, but Isaac's profit-oriented personality was already unmistakable.
Although pure scientific researchers like Nanston Kira deserve more respect.
But in reality, people like Isaac were more comfortable.
They knew how to get along with people and not make people feel disgusted.
To Isaac, it didn't matter who his assistant was. There was no difference at all.
Why would he give up on the relatively stable Nanston Kira and choose Homesius, whose future was uncertain?
This wasn't an academic question, but a practical one.
Nanston Kira hadn't given up on him, and Homesius still hoped that he could continue being his assistant.
This meant that there was no problem with Isaac's abilities.
"Later, he told me that his research had been valued by investors, and that he had received an investment, and that he had formed his own research team. I was very happy for him, but after a few times of contact, he told me that his research needed to be kept secret, so he couldn't keep in touch with me. After that, our contact decreased. In the next three years, I only contacted him twice. The first time was when he sent me his blessings at Christmas, and the other time was when he complained that he didn't have a capable assistant. His assistants couldn't understand his intentions at all."
As he spoke, Isaac couldn't help but glance at Chen Zhao. He'd said the last sentence on purpose, as if to prove his value.
"Do you know who invested in his research?" Chen Zhao asked.
"No. He said that it was a clause in the confidentiality agreement."
"Then do you know where his research institute is?"
"No."
"Do you have his contact information now? Or his home address? "
"I know where his home is, but I'm not sure if he still lives there."
Chen Zhao glanced at Isaac. "Can I ask a practical question?"
"Please."
"From your professional point of view, how do you turn your professional knowledge into economic benefits?"
"Breeding and cultivation are currently the most widely used field of my professional knowledge."
