"Ah, I'm finally back." When the plane landed at Xiangjiang Airport, Li Zheng stretched his limbs and let out a satisfied sigh.
It was midsummer now, and the scorching sun was scorching the concrete runway of the airport. After just standing there for a while, fine sweat appeared on Li Zheng's forehead.
"After being locked in the lab for so many days, I felt like my whole body would melt when I was exposed to the sun." He raised his hand to cover his eyes.
The corner of Liang Zhe's mouth lifted slightly, he walked to Li Zheng's side, and put the hat in his hand on Li Zheng's head.
Liang Zhe's hat was obviously bigger, covering half of Li Zheng's head at once.
Li Zheng…
The two walked out from the VIP channel under the guidance of the airport guide. The news of Li Zheng's return to Xiangjiang reached Xiangjiang as early as yesterday evening, and the reporters in Xiangjiang were immediately excited.
Because of Li Zheng's academic status at Hong Kong University, the people of Hong Kong take the credit for cultivating such outstanding bioscientists on their own.
To this end, Xu Mingsheng and Su Changzhi have been interviewed no less than three times. At the beginning, the two old professors felt very fresh and cooperated very well.
But when the report came out, the two of them looked at each other, it was not right. The two scholars are both extremely noble figures of academic character, and they are definitely not the same as the one who robbed the research results of colleagues from Dongchen University.
Regarding the relationship between Li Zheng and Hong Kong University, they are Men Qinger. It is better to say that Li Zheng and Hong Kong University are the relationship between their alma mater and students, but they are a mutually beneficial partnership.
After Li Zheng came to Hong Kong University, how many classes did he take? They want to nurture such a biological genius, and they also want others to give them a chance.
Therefore, the two of them disagreed with the so-called suggestion in the report that Hong Kong University nurtured this genius.
But what if they don’t agree? The people of Heungkong like to watch this, and the international ranking of Heungkong University this year has also risen a few places. Many medical students from Singapore, Japan, and South Korea have given up their own universities and chose Heungkong University.
When this statistic came out, Su Changzhi's beard was lifted by two points, and he made several calls to his old rival at the University of Tokyo. .
The reporters from these news stations still had less experience than the entertainment paparazzi, and with little effort, Li Zheng and others left the airport smoothly by car.
In the lengthened Lincoln, Li Zheng and Liang Zhe sat on one side, and Butler Fang sat on the other side.
"It's dark, and I've lost weight. You can't eat well over there, sorry to see you." Butler Fang looked at Li Zheng with a loving look on his face.
Li Zheng was dumbfounded, he touched his face subconsciously, "Dark?" If he said that he lost weight, he was not surprised. After all, Duoman's eating habits were very different from those of the Chinese, and he did eat less.
But speaking of dark, he has been staying in the laboratory for half a year, and his time to go out is almost limited, so how can it still be dark
"It's not dark, it looks good." Liang Zhe, who hadn't spoken since he got in the car, said suddenly, he paused and continued: "It looks good even in the dark."
Li Zheng…
Butler Fang…
Butler Fang blinked, looking at Mr. Xiaoliang's serious look at Li Zheng, and always felt that something was wrong. At this time, Liang Zhe had turned his head and looked at Steward Fang with pursed lips.
Butler Fang opened his mouth slightly. He rubbed his eyes. He seemed to have the illusion that Mr. Xiaoliang was coquettish with him.
He remembered very clearly that when he was a child, Mr. Liang and Mrs. Liang only let the young master eat one piece of candy a day at most. Whenever Liang Zhe ate all his candy that day and really wanted to eat it, he would secretly use this kind of look. Look at him, and he will give him one more candy at a time.
Since Mr. Liang and Mrs. Liang passed away, he has never seen Liang Zhe's eyes like this again. Butler Fang's body trembled slightly because of his excitement.
He touched his pocket subconsciously, but found no hard lumps in it. Seeing that Liang Zhe's mouth was almost pursed into a straight line, Butler Fang was suddenly so happy that he opened his mouth before he thought about it.
"It's not dark, it's not dark, the lights in the car are dim, I look wrong."
When Liang Zhe heard the words, his whole face stretched out. He turned to look at Li Zheng and said seriously, "He saw it wrong."
Li Zheng laughed lightly, he raised his hand and touched Liang Zhe's hair, "Well, I see."
Butler Fang's expression became even more bizarre. He looked at Liang Zhe, then at Li Zheng, and at the interaction between the two, he actually had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Thirty years from now, Steward Fang will know that this feeling is called Su Shuang who was suddenly fed a handful of dog food.
The car drove up Pok Fu Lam Road, and after a while, the green garden sign had already appeared in everyone's sight.
Several cars with media logos were parked at the gate of Qingyuan. Li Zheng rubbed his temples helplessly. For him now, the media had become a burden.
Liang Zhe lowered the car window slightly, made a gesture, and the cars behind him immediately left the convoy, blocking the media cars.
In the hall of Villa No. 2, the people in Li Zheng's laboratory have gathered neatly.
Zhong Peng, Liu Sichao, Ma Wenmin, Chen Xuhua, Zhang Chao, Zhang Yuejun, and Zhou Sitian also came to Li Zheng's laboratory early in the morning and kept looking around at the door.
Seeing Liang Zhe's car, she couldn't help showing a big smile, "They're back."
The crowd rushed out.
As soon as Li Zheng stepped out of the car door, he was knocked on the head by his elder sister, "You don't worry, you just agreed to go to receive an award, and it will be half a year after you leave. What is there in Africa where infectious diseases are frequent? You really want to piss me off."
Zhou Sitian's life for half a year can be described as frightened. If it weren't for... , she would even rush to Africa to bring this little brat back.
No matter how great or amazing Li Zheng is said by those people in the newspapers and TV, in her eyes, Li Zheng is still the stubborn and unreliable younger brother.
Li Zheng reluctantly accepted his sister's scolding, with a good attitude, and looked like a model brother. Liang Zhe looked unhappy from the side. He grabbed Li Zheng's hand and pulled the person behind him, looking at Zhou Sitian dissatisfied.
The scene suddenly became quiet, and Zhou Sitian said half of what she said and stuck it in her throat. The people in Li Zheng's laboratory behind him also looked strange. The hands of Mr. Li Zheng and Mr. Liang...
Li Zheng glared at Liang Zhe, took his hand out of his, he coughed dryly, and said with a smile, "I'm back."
As soon as these words fell, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became warm.
The crowd surrounded Li Zheng and walked towards Villa 2.
Li Zheng walked halfway and found that Liang Zhe hadn't followed, so he stopped and looked back at him, "Let's go." He said with a smile.
Liang Zhe raised his head slightly, and the expression on his face suddenly softened. He walked forward like a big dog that had just been groomed.
Butler Fang felt even weirder in his heart. The appearance of Liang Zhe just now made him feel as if he saw Mr. Liang who had passed away. This was also the case when Mr. Liang and his wife were angry. A simple sentence would be coaxed. .
He scratched his head, what was he thinking about, old man, old man. Butler Fang shook his head and sighed, then followed behind the crowd to Villa 2.
Entering Villa No. 2, Li Zheng couldn't help but go to the laboratory to touch his equipment first. After struggling under difficult conditions for more than half a year, he felt that this place was still suitable for him.
Next is the work report. Li Zheng has been away for half a year, but Li Zheng's laboratory is still running in an orderly manner.
The papers on in vitro regeneration of organs were published under the auspices of Ma Wenmin, and the one detailing the experimental process also appeared on the cover of SCIENCE. Li Zheng is a well-deserved corresponding author, but at the insistence of Ma Wenmin, his name also appeared in the first author.
That is, corresponding author: Li Zheng
First author: Li Zheng, Wenxuefeng, Ma Wenmin
Second Author: Liu Sichao, Zhong Peng
Zhang Chao, Zhang Yuejun and others are among the third authors, and even Zheng Lingling has become the fourth author. With this qualification, no well-known international institute will reject her after she graduates.
In the past six months, the popularity of organ regeneration has continued unabated in the world, and many laboratories have offered olive branches to cooperate with Li Zheng's laboratory, which is a leading laboratory in the field of organ regeneration.
After asking Li Zheng for instructions, Ma Wenmin chose several laboratories with rich resources, profound backgrounds and outstanding research level for cooperation. This consortium was listed in New York.
"International Research Center for In Vitro Regenerating Organ Technology" has grabbed the first place in the technology of 'in vitro regenerating organs'.
Speaking of the research progress, Ma Wenmin couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. After the human nose rat, the human regenerative organ experiment came to a standstill. In fact, this progress is normal for such a large-scale experiment, but after seeing the speed of Li Zheng's experiment , compared with herself, she can't help but have self-doubt.
"Going from bovine chondrocytes to human chondrocytes is a very difficult step. How many years have passed since the idea of regenerating organs in vitro has been put into practice to the realization of the human nasal mouse experiment. You are already very good."
Zhong Peng has not entered the laboratory for more than ten years, and what he has done the most in the past half a year is to pick up his skills again. He even re-learned the use of the latest equipment and the latest experimental skills together with Zhang Chao and Zhang Yuejun.
Zhong Peng may be a little weak in his hands-on, but the theoretical foundation is indeed the most abundant in Li Zheng's laboratory. Even Li Zheng, if he ignores the advanced knowledge of later generations, he is not as knowledgeable as this Professor Zhong.
In the more than ten years since he left the laboratory, Zhong Peng has read almost all the biological works he can find. Zhang Chao and Zhang Yuejun jokingly call it a walking encyclopedia of biology.
Zhong Peng was not ashamed to ask questions, and followed Zhang Chao and Zhang Yuejun to improve their experimental skills, while Zhang Chao and Zhang Yuejun followed him to supplement their theoretical knowledge, and the three of them got along very well.
As for Liu Sichao, Li Zheng flipped through the thick document and raised his head in surprise.
"Virus blocking?" This person will really surprise himself.
Liu Sizhao raised his chin proudly, "Yes, it is virus blocking. The idea of my research this time is a virus blocking drug with wide application value, or virus blocking technology, just like twenty-six letters and those English words, no matter how complex and dynamic those English words are, are essentially these twenty-six letters.”
"And what I have to do is to find or create these twenty-six letters!" Liu Sichao said loudly.
