Following Hai Sanchuan's guidance, Chen Chen walked around the underground base.
However, to his disappointment, in the past four months, the construction of the underground base was only 30% complete, and it would take at least half a year to complete.
However, after thinking about it, Chen Chen realized that this speed was already very fast. The underground pyramid laboratory adopts modular construction, using a plug-in steel structure and a large number of disposable stamped steel plates.
The material of the stamped steel plate is tungsten steel alloy, the hardest special steel with extremely strong hardness and toughness, extremely high oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance.
Just like building Lego blocks, the entire laboratory is built on modules.
In fact, this new construction method has sprouted around the world. As early as 2011, Zhongzhou District used modular construction and built a 100-meter-high skyscraper in just 12 days. Buildings rise from the ground.
Because the entire process of building a building is like building blocks, the world even calls it a building that "rewrote the history of architecture."
The reason why this laboratory is designed like this is mainly to limit certain accidents that may occur in the laboratory in the future, such as "alien" and other extremely destructive creatures accidentally escaping from the laboratory, causing irreversible [containment] Failure] situation.
The advantage of this structure of the laboratory is that it has sufficient strength and toughness, and its earthquake resistance is dozens of times stronger than traditional reinforced concrete buildings. Even if the surface is plowed by nuclear bombs, the 700-meter-deep underground laboratory can be guaranteed to remain unscathed.
Of course, the cost of building such a laboratory is also extremely expensive.
The bottom area of the pyramid laboratory is about 10,000 square meters. It is composed of a square base with a side length of 100 meters. The height reaches 60 meters. There are nine floors inside. The area will be reduced by one-third with each upward floor until it spreads to the cave. The top floor is like a huge pillar, supporting the entire cave.
Chen Chen was thinking that after the underground facilities were completed, it would be necessary to fill the entire underground cave with concrete, so that it would be truly foolproof.
But this is a waste of the vast space underground.
After visiting the underground for several hours, Chen Chen finally returned to the surface and returned to the research center.
The first thing I did when I returned to the research center was to meet Professor Wang Xi.
At this time, Professor Wang Xi had just finished today's neural stem cell transplantation. He was grinning in pain. When he saw Chen Chen coming back, he smiled proudly, "You're back?"
"I'm back." Chen Chen looked at the old professor who was obviously much more energetic than before, nodded and said, "I heard that they have started to perform neural stem cell transplantation on you?"
"Yes, otherwise I have lost so many brain cells. How can I engage in learning if I don't replenish them?" Professor Wang Xi lifted the quilt and sat up.
"Don't move, I'll peel an orange for you."
Chen Chen stepped forward and helped Professor Wang Xi sit up, and asked, "By the way, how did they perform neural stem cell transplantation on you?"
"Lumbar puncture and subarachnoid injection transplantation, plus intravenous injection transplantation..."
Professor Wang Xi waved his hand helplessly and motioned for Chen Chen to sit down, "I heard that I originally wanted to give me a ventriculocentesis, but because I was afraid of my old age, I decided to give him a spinal injection instead."
Chen Chen sat on a chair nearby, peeling an orange for Professor Wang Xi, "Indeed, lumbar puncture transplantation allows stem cells to enter the brain along the cerebrospinal fluid circulation. It is less invasive and is the most suitable transplant method for you. It only needs to pass the blood-brain barrier. , the loss of stem cells is greater..."
However, Professor Wang Xi seemed to have thought of something. He took out a pile of information placed on the bedside and looked at Chen Chen with a strange expression, "Xiao Chen, I ask you a question, and you must answer me honestly."
"Do you have questions about the effects of induced neural stem cells?" Chen Chen immediately knew what Professor Wang Xi wanted to ask without waiting for him to ask.
"As long as you know."
Professor Wang Xi said seriously when he heard this, "I know Shinya Yamanaka, the founder of induced pluripotent stem cells, very well. Although his iPS technology won the Nobel Prize ten years ago, who wouldn't be in a state like ours?" Do you know the shortcomings of iPS technology? The neural stem cells induced by it will not have the effect I have now."
As he said that, Professor Wang Xi opened the information, "Also, when I first looked through the information, I felt something was wrong. I could understand other parts of this information, but when it came to induced neural stem cell technology, I couldn't understand it. I don’t understand, so don’t think I’m an old fool.”
Chen Chen nodded after hearing this without any surprise. If he couldn't find the problem after such a long time, then he was no longer Professor Wang Xi.
"I can't hide it from you. In fact, the neural stem cells induced by iPS technology are not the neural stem cells extracted from your cloned embryos."
"Sure enough." Professor Wang Xi sighed, and then showed a relieved look.
After waiting for a while, the expected criticism did not come. Chen Chen couldn't help asking, "Aren't you going to scold me?"
"Why do I scold you?"
However, Professor Wang Xi was so angry that he puffed his beard and glared, "Do you think I'm such a pedantic person? It's obvious that your kid is working hard to treat me here, but I'm here to teach you a lesson because of a cloned embryo? I'm here Are you that bastard in your heart? The reason why I ask these questions is just because I'm afraid that you might secretly use some unreliable method to kill me!"
"You taught me the right lesson!" Chen Chen nodded quickly with a smile, "Indeed, everyone knows that you are not this kind of person!"
After flattering Professor Wang Xi a few more times, Chen Chen turned around and left.
After Chen Chen left Professor Wang Xi's ward, his original smiling expression suddenly faded and returned to calmness.
And in his hand, a bottle of blue fluorescent potion appeared at some point.
AD-001.
This is the medicine that Chen Chen extracted from the movie he invested in.
As long as this potion is given to Hannibal and the others, the efficacy of the potion can be quickly determined. After confirming that the potion is harmless to humans and can cure Alzheimer's disease, people can analyze the ingredients and come up with ideas. The method is reversed.
It doesn't matter even if it can't be deduced for the time being. U disks can obtain energy very quickly nowadays. As long as AD-001 doesn't come out, it can still be done by supplying it to only a few people.
After two or three years, we will naturally be able to gradually develop mass production methods.
In fact, it is a wiser decision to reversely push NZT-48, and it may even allow Chen Chen to have a team comparable to top scientists such as Einstein and Niels Bohr.
But the reason why Chen Chen didn't organize people to study NZT-48 was because he understood the horror of this drug.
It would be okay if a stranger got one NZT-48, but if someone close to Chen Chen got one NZT-48, it meant that all Chen Chen's secrets might be exposed.
The power of NZT-48 is so amazing. As long as someone gets a pill of NZT-48 from Chen Chen, it is possible to instantly deduce what this drug is based on the movie, and immediately understand why Chen Chen, an ordinary college student, did it in a short time. Earth-shaking changes occurred in a short period of time, and then it was deduced why Chen Chen needed a lot of electricity, and even the existence of the USB flash drive...
Therefore, it was impossible for Chen Chen to let the complete NZT-48 fall into the hands of anyone.
