"Shocked! Peking University Students cloned Tyrannosaurus Rex!" a message spread rapidly on the Internet.
In addition to the text description, there are video clips of Du Xingyu''s live broadcast. At first, netizens almost didn''t believe it.
"Fake news?"
"Now we media, in order to click, really open your mouth!"
"Is this a movie clip? I remember a movie in which scientists cloned Tyrannosaurus Rex or something?"
"The video is quite similar!"
Some netizens even reported that the relevant news was false news, but the matter did not end. Soon, "insiders" stood up, indicating that this was indeed true.
"I''m a student in the Biology Department of Peking University, cloned by a senior graduate student in our department! This is absolutely true!" someone said in his real name on the Internet.
The media and netizens who do not know the true and false went to Peking University''s official account to ask. Not only they, but also some big men in the biological science community, also called Peking University to ask about it.
Xu Chang, the president of Peking University, was also puzzled when he heard the news. "What are you talking about? Someone cloned Tyrannosaurus Rex in our school? Why didn''t I hear it? It''s impossible. It''s false news!"
"Why is it false news? I''ve heard that it''s su Yutang''s student! There are videos on the Internet!" Yang Shao, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a famous expert in genetics and genetics, called him.
"Yang Lao, there is everything on the Internet now." Xu Chang said, "it''s impossible. Dinosaurs have been extinct for tens of millions of years! What did he clone? If we had this technology, Peking University would have become a holy land of biological science all over the world!"
"It doesn''t make sense? I don''t think so. Ask Su Yutang. I can''t get through to him. The line is busy!" Yang Shao said.
"OK." Xu Chang is very helpless. Isn''t this obvious false news? I don''t know who told Yang Shao.
Xu Chang hasn''t called Su Yutang yet. There are more than one phone call. There are leaders from the Ministry of medicine, important figures from the Institute of biology, and even leaders from the Ministry of education.
"What''s the matter?" Xu Chang was surprised and called back. He immediately contacted Su Yutang.
"Professor Su, the Internet said that your laboratory cloned Tyrannosaurus Rex? Is this news true or false?" Xu Chang asked.
"Really." Su Yutang''s tone was a little proud. "Now T-Rex is in the laboratory."
"Ah? It''s true!" Xu Chang was stunned and confirmed, "are you kidding? It''s not a small thing. Now the education department and the Ministry of science and technology have been disturbed! We can''t make an Oolong!"
"Of course it''s true," Su Yutang said. "Headmaster Xu, do I look like a joker?"
"OK, where are you? I want to see it with my own eyes!" if I don''t see it with my own eyes, Xu Chang always feels uneasy.
"Tyrannosaurus Rex is in my laboratory," Su Yutang said.
"I''ll be right there!"
With Xu Chang, there is also Fang Jin, President of the College of life sciences. He is also a famous bioscience expert and an academician of the National Academy of engineering.
"Where''s Tyrannosaurus Rex?" Xu Chang and Fang Jin urged as soon as they arrived at the laboratory.
"In the training room, we can''t guarantee that it can adapt to the modern living environment, so we need to put it in the training cabin," Su Yutang said.
They came to the training cabin. By this time, the little Tyrannosaurus Rex had had enough to eat and drink and began to sleep.
Through the transparent glass, they saw a Tyrannosaurus Rex sleeping in the nest, and their faces showed incredible expressions.
"This is Tyrannosaurus Rex?" Fang Jin exclaimed, "live! Lao Su, OK! You have cloned an ancient giant beast silently! Now you will be truly world-famous!"
"Ha ha, good cloning!" Xu Chang said with a smile, "not only you, but also our Peking University will be world-famous this time!"
"In fact, this is not my achievement," Su Yutang said frankly. "It''s my student, Du Xingyu. He almost completed the whole cloning process from detecting the DNA residue of Tyrannosaurus Rex fossils, finding the gene map of Tyrannosaurus Rex, cultivating embryos and so on."
"What? You said your students completed it independently?" Fang Jin''s expression was even more surprised than seeing T-Rex. As a bioscience expert, he knew how difficult it was.
"I really can''t believe it!" Fang Jin said. "It''s hard for a person to clone kittens and dogs. Foreign teams once found a complete mammoth body in the frozen soil, including its intact cells. But after ten years, they failed to clone mammoths."
"Tyrannosaurus Rex with missing genetic information can be cloned by your students? How can I believe it?"
"Yes," said Xu Chang, "Professor Su, you''re exaggerating. I know you love students, but you''re not such a law protector."
"When the news is broadcast, not to mention us, other universities and foreign scientists will not believe it!"
Su Yutang was very helpless and said, "I would like to have such a great achievement. But I have to be realistic. The cloning of mammoths is indeed the subject of my students. During this period, I hardly had any guidance and participation. At my age, can I take the credit of the students?"
"Really?"
"It''s true, take my credit guarantee!" Su Yutang said.
Xu Chang and Fang Jin looked at each other and saw excitement and excitement from each other''s eyes. Peking University, is there such a genius? No, there are many geniuses in Peking University, but this should be described as a once-in-a-lifetime genius!
"Where is he?" Xu Chang said immediately, "I want to see him!"
"Headmaster and Dean, I''m Du Xingyu." Du Xingyu was nearby. As soon as they came in, Xu Chang and Fang Jin were too excited, so they didn''t pay attention to their students.
"You cloned Tyrannosaurus Rex? How did you do it?" Fang Jin immediately asked, "where did you get the Tyrannosaurus Rex gene information?"
"Thanks to the teacher," said Du Xingyu, "there is cartilage left on the Tyrannosaurus Rex stone bone sent by Stanford University. Through its test, I obtained a large number of fragments of Tyrannosaurus Rex gene information."
"Then I compared with other dinosaur gene fragments, further improved them, and obtained tens of millions of gene breakthroughs. Through computer analysis, I determined the most likely gene map of Tyrannosaurus Rex, and then generated genetic information according to it to cultivate pluripotent stem cells..."
Du Xingyu said, Fang Jin''s eyes were shining and he was shocked. "No, no! Every step you said can be said to be a problem in the current bioscience community, but you have overcome it!"
"It''s amazing, you know? Your technology will bring earth shaking changes to biotechnology all over the world!"
As a bioscientist, Fang Jin knows what it means to clone T-Rex. This means that the gene sequencing, splicing and in vitro cell cloning technologies mastered by Du Xingyu have made a breakthrough. If these technologies are used in other aspects, they can change the world!
"Good boy!" Xu Chang said happily, "your research will be recorded in the history of Peking University! Even in the history of human science... I won''t say much, and the school will reward you! Now I have to call back the leaders above, and the phone is about to explode!"
Fang Jin also said: "now that the matter has been confirmed, our Academy of biological sciences should also respond to this news in time."
"I immediately asked someone to make a statement. I''m busy next!"
……
While still questioning the authenticity of the news on the Internet, Peking University directly issued a statement, saying: "congratulations to Du Xingyu, a student of our university, on successfully cloning the world''s first Tyrannosaurus Rex. This is a great breakthrough in life science and technology in China..."
Seeing this statement, netizens were confused again.
"The news is true!"
"That''s awesome! Praise you!"
"Does anyone know who Du Xingyu is? Tyrannosaurus Rex can be cloned!"
"Great, my brother!"
"I said it was true. You don''t believe it!"
The response of Peking University has also been listed in the hot list of social media.
Not only in China, but also in foreign life science institutes and universities.
Everyone is wondering how the Tyrannosaurus rex was cloned, and what is the origin of Du Xingyu?
……
The storm caused by Tyrannosaurus Rex continued, and Du Xingyu also met many leaders and scientists.
After learning that Du Xingyu was a graduate student of Su Yutang and had not yet officially worked, these people were excited and extended olive branches to Du Xingyu and asked Du Xingyu to work there.
Du Xingyu himself is also considering this matter. Cloning Tyrannosaurus Rex is only the first step for him to improve the biotechnology of the world. There are still many steps to go.
In the headmaster''s office, Xu Chang, Fang Jin and Su Yutang are talking to him about it.
Xu Chang first tried to say, "Xiao Du, your research is of great scientific value. The school must give you a lot."
"Recently, many people want to dig you, including the Institute of biology of the Academy of Sciences, major universities and some enterprises. Their conditions must be very good."
"As you know, our university is definitely one of the best in the country in terms of biotechnology research! We also hope our students will grow up in the soil of Peking University. What do you think?"
All three looked at him. Du Xingyu was definitely a talent to stay.
Fortunately, he is a student of Peking University and a graduate student led by Su Yutang. They can get the month first near the water building.
Du Xingyu said directly, "the president, the dean and the teacher."
"My idea is very simple. I still want to continue my research. It''s good everywhere. If conditions permit, I hope to have my own bioscience research laboratory and enough research funds."
Du Xingyu''s meaning is also very clear. As long as Peking University is willing to contribute, he will stay. Otherwise, he will choose the one with the best research conditions.
Scientific research is very expensive. Du Xingyu hopes to achieve the basic conditions as soon as possible.
Xu Chang didn''t answer directly. The independent laboratory is owned only by old professors, academicians or important figures in the field of science such as Su Yutang at Peking University.
The biological laboratory he asked for must be equipped with international cutting-edge equipment. The individual equipment should be tens of millions. If a complete set is completed, I''m afraid it can only be completed with hundreds of millions of funds.
There is no precedent for a graduate student to have his own top biological laboratory.
Du Xingyu can probably guess what they think. He said: "the top biological laboratory is really expensive. But I can create greater value."
"For example, using gene technology and in vitro cloning technology to solve some medical problems. I believe that the value it brings must be 10 billion or 100 billion!"
