In the research institute, Chen Chen only took less than a month to replicate the experiment in Shangdu.
Looking at the eight SD rats in the cage whose fur had regained its luster and were moving younger, everyone's eyes were filled with shock.
If they had not seen it with their own eyes, who would have thought that a month ago, they were still old, dying rats?
Of course, regaining their youth also came at a price. Before the experiment, there were a total of twenty-five of them, but in the end, only eight survived.
The survival rate was less than one-third.
"Through CT scan, it can be determined that the experimental target, whether it's bones, muscles, hematopoietic function, or even liver organs, all show signs of rejuvenation."
The researchers on the side looked at the lines of detected data and showed a look of amazement. "It's very consistent with the versatility of mesenchymal stem cells."
"It's just that the survival rate is a little too low," someone said regretfully. "It'd be perfect if the survival rate was a little higher."
"It's a problem with the experimental subjects."
However, Samuel on the side retorted, which was a rare occurrence. "They're old rats to begin with. Their physical functions have long deteriorated to the extreme. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy aren't treatments for rats anyway, so it's normal for them to have a high mortality rate."
During this period, as Chen Chen and a group of scientific researchers ate and slept together and showed amazing attainments and talents in the field of biology, the entire research institute was convinced and no one dared to underestimate Chen Chen anymore.
It should be known that to become a scientific researcher, one had to be proud and aloof. Perhaps most of them did not have any talent for business and could only work for the company, but this did not mean that they were willing to submit to others.
For example, Samuel did not think much of the group of people on the board of directors.
However, Chen Chen was different. They would only be convinced if they followed a boss who was more capable than themselves.
Therefore, Samuel went from disdain at the beginning to skepticism later, and now, he had become a die-hard fan of Chen Chen. It only took half a month for his attitude to change dramatically.
"Mr. Samuel is right. The target of this experiment was never intended for rats."
Chen Chen, who had been silent on the side, suddenly said, "So, next, it's time to use primates for experiments."
"Isn't that too fast?" The previous researcher was a little hesitant. "Next, we should try medium-sized mammals, right? Moreover, it won't be easy to get approval and WAP … "
WAP was the abbreviation of the World Animal Protection Association. It was a group of humans dedicated to protecting the rights and interests of animals.
It was not to say that they were a major obstacle to scientific research. Obstacles to development would not stop development, but they did have an impact on the development of biology.
The 19th-century French physiologist Claude Bernard once said that the life sciences were a magnificent and brilliantly lit hall, reached only through a long and ghastly kitchen.
Blindly sympathizing with the weak would not bring about a sublimation of morality. The fortress of human civilization was destined to be built on the bones of countless races.
"Yes, but it's not necessary."
Chen Chen pondered for a moment. "Primates are the best choice. Their similarity to the human body alone means that their survival rate during the chemotherapy phase will increase by more than fifty percent."
"Moreover, I will discuss this matter with Mr. Wynn first. I think as long as there is a suitable amount of political contribution, with his connections, it should be approved as soon as possible."
Everyone nodded, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"So, in the coming period, everyone can start making preparations. Next time, our experimental subjects may be a group of macaques or even chimpanzees."
Chen Chen made a decision.
Chimpanzees and humans were extremely similar. Chimpanzees did not lack any bones that humans should have. The chemicals in the human brain could be found in the brains of chimpanzees. Even in terms of genes, chimpanzee genes were the closest to humans.
However, nowadays, popular science often appeared on the Internet, saying that the genetic difference between humans and chimpanzees was only 1.2%. 98.8% of the genes of both were identical.
Although the data was not wrong, this statement was actually a misunderstanding of genes.
After all, based on the data alone, the genetic similarity between a banana and a human reached an astonishing 60%.
In fact, the genes of these two creatures were like two books written in the same language. One was Journey to the West and the other was Water Margin.
Although the language was the same, the written articles, books, and theses could be ever-changing.
You could not say that the two novels were 100% similar just because the language used was the same. Nor could you say that the two books were 90% similar just because 90% of the commonly used words in the books were the same.
Still, having said that, chimpanzees were still the best experimental animal for observation apart from human experiments.
...
After the experiment, Chen Chen rushed in the direction of the office building.
A few hours later, when Chen Chen left in a hurry again, Wynn sent Chen Chen to the entrance of the office building.
"I knew it wasn't that simple for this kid to keep me."
Wynn shook his head with a bitter smile. Since he had accepted Chen Chen's task, it seemed that he could only put aside his pride and deal with those stinky politicians.
Chen Chen, who had just left the office building, suddenly received a call.
"Hello, are you Mr. Chen Chen from Blackwatch?" It was a female voice on the phone, speaking not in German but in English.
Although the pronunciation was not standard, the voice was very unique, with a hoarse and sweet tone. At first glance, it reminded people of words such as sexy stunner.
"Yes, and you are?"
"My name is Bernadette Lydia, the deputy director of the Namibia Investment Center," the voice said.
"Hello, it's nice to meet you."
"No, I was being rude. After all, I was the one who strongly requested to speak to you in person."
The female voice on the other end of the phone was full of apology. "Because I really can't believe it, so please forgive me for confirming again. May I ask if you really want to invest in a nuclear power plant project in our country?"
"I'm sorry, I do 'intend' to invest in a nuclear power plant in your country." Chen Chen pointed out.
"Ah! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was too impulsive. "
The other side of the phone apologized repeatedly. "Then may I ask when you have time to talk in person? If you're busy recently, I can rush over to meet you myself."
"That won't be necessary."
Chen Chen's tone was a little cold. "I'll first send a group of inspection teams to the various allied countries in the African Continent. The inspection will probably arrive in your country next year or so. At that time, we can talk in detail."
"Mr. Chen Chen, there's actually no need for that."
The other side of the phone suddenly became a little anxious. "The African Continent is indeed vast, but because of political issues, many countries are in the midst of war all year round. Few have a stable security and political environment like our country.
"Not only that, our country also has the world's third largest uranium mine here — the Hushan Uranium Mine. Its development potential can be said to be the highest in the African Continent.
"What's more, the holding company of the Hushan Uranium Mine is your country's' China General Nuclear Uranium '. Presumably, with your size, it's less likely that there will be accidents when cooperating with companies in your own continent, right?"
"Are you making the decision for me, Ms. Lydia?" When he heard this, Chen Chen's voice was a little unhappy.
"I'm sorry again, I'm really sorry... I was just too impatient."
The other end of the phone apologized again. "I'm really sorry, really..."
"Forget it."
Chen Chen said again, "How about this, you directly contact my company. In the next few days, I'll send a few employees to your country for inspection. If you can really provide enough benefits here, I can consider directly establishing a project in your country."
"Ah, really? That's great! "
The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became extremely enthusiastic. "Thank you for your generosity. I really didn't expect that I could meet such an outstanding man like you. I really hope you can come soon. I'm looking forward to that day..."
It was inevitable that there were some hints in the last words. Coupled with the languid elegance, it could even evoke the deepest desires in one's heart.
However, Chen Chen, who heard the hint, could not help but shudder.
