Chapter 813: Dr. Z saves the world?

"27 days after coma, the two of the Ares plan colonists have recovered! 》
"Unscheduled! Mars bacteria were jointly conquered by the Moon Palace expert team! The Doctor Who "z" provides important clues! 》
"..."
Almost the day after Johnson woke up, the latest progress on x-0172 bacteria research was announced to the global media through the Lunar Orbit Construction Committee.
When they learned that the three colonists who had fallen into a coma, two of them had successfully awakened and successfully removed the infected bacteria from their bodies, it immediately caused a sensation in the international community.
After the Renren Daily first reported the relevant news, the Washington Post immediately covered the news and interviewed the Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations, Mr. Eliasson.
A month ago, it was at the UN emergency meeting that he read out a joint initiative calling on all countries in the world to jointly deal with this crisis.
Although it is not this joint initiative that is really urging nations to cope with this crisis, it is undeniable that his speech is still quite iconic.
When asked how to evaluate the performance of countries in responding to this global crisis, Eliasson gave him a high degree of affirmation with almost no hesitation.
"... This is another great mankind facing nature. The glory of humanity connects us together. We have not given up any one in the face of difficulties!"
Reporter "About the black colonial Taiwei who has not yet been rescued, how do you think about it?"
Eliasson "I think the failure to be rescued is only temporary. I believe that the international team of experts has sufficient experience and knowledge, and they need only a little time!"
In any case, of the three patients infected with x-0172 bacteria, being able to successfully cure two of them is already a considerable breakthrough.
According to the timetable announced by China, Johnson and Jones will be transferred from Yuegong to Shuguang International Space Station by the Yuqiao Bridge spacecraft within one week, where experts will be sent by the United Nations for the last physical examination, and then returned to the surface in the return capsule.
So far, the earth's ecological crisis caused by Mars bacteria has come to an end.
In these 27 days of long waiting, countless people have expressed concerns about the future of the earth's ecosystem, and now all the concerns are finally settled.
In the face of the unbreakable spores of x-0172 bacteria, human civilization will no longer be helpless, and almost no one doubts that it won't be long before the rest of the colonizer will recover.
All they need is a little bit of time.
At the same time, in addition to the two colonists who are about to return to Earth, the media has also attracted the attention of the "Dr. Z" who played an important role in the entire incident.
According to Professor Stephen of Stanford University, if not for the solution provided by this doctor, and the key pheromone molecular formula and synthesis method, they may now be stuck on the bottleneck of how to block x-0172 bacteria from forming spores.
"... The results of his research have made a decisive contribution to our eventual elimination of Martian bacteria from colonists!"
"Although I don't know why he chose to remain anonymous, I hope he can stand up and accept this honor to save the world!"
Speculations about the identity of this Dr. Z have been fermented with reports of x-0172 bacteria.
Not only are the media curious about the identity of the scholar, who asked not to be named, the general public has also developed considerable interest in the anonymous scholar.
What is more interesting is that if his name is written generously in a dissertation, the people who eat melon may not be so interested. Even if the media has carried out overwhelming reports, everyone will forget it soon after seeing it.
It's as if everyone knows that the Nobel Prize is great, but not many people remember who took the Nobel Prize in a certain year.
But now, even people who are usually indifferent to biology are curious, who is the author of this paper, who is a scholar in which country, and for what reasons did they choose to be anonymous ...
Jinling Advanced Institute.
Institute of Biology.
Professor Liu Zuobing gave a report to Lu Zhou's hands, and said with a bit of emotion.
"It's unbelievable that we never dreamed of a side-effect slow release agent on Mars."
After discovering that the pheromone secreted by x-0172 bacteria when forming spores can promote the active dormancy of the organism,
After receiving the report, Lu Zhou glanced roughly.
According to the data obtained from experiments on mice, when mice implanted with x-0172 bacteria are exposed to a temperature of minus 12-15 degrees, they will actively stimulate the bacteria to form spores and release dormant pheromones to push the host into a dormant state. .
When the sleep time reaches 24 hours, the host will enter the full sleep state. After reaching this state, the host's metabolic capacity will drop to a relatively low level, and ensure that the host's somatic cell structure is normal, and can be re-transformed into vegetative cells when the situation is appropriate, recovering the metabolic level and exercise before dormancy ability.
When seeing here, Lu Zhou's eyebrows slightly raised a look of interest.
He noticed the expression of interest on Lu Zhou's face, and Professor Liu standing next to him smiled and said.
"Remember the nematode cell we got some time ago? Next we plan to insert the 18s-rdna gene fragment into x-0172 bacteria, and x-0172 bacteria will synthesize special proteins that maintain the morphology of dormant biological cells."
Lu Zhou turned the page in his hand and asked casually.
"Is it OK to add DNA to x-0172 bacteria?"
Professor Liu Zuobing "risks are under control."
"Then do as you said," returned the report in hand to Professor Liu, and Lu Zhou nodded and said, "Remember, safety is always the first priority."
Professor Liu Zuobing solemnly said, "Be assured, I will definitely be careful about safety."
At present, the nominal x-0172 bacteria are only sampled on the Moon Palace, and the samples sent to the Earth are inactivated. However, despite this, as the chief designer of the Lunar Orbit Construction Committee, Lu Zhou is studying There are still some "privilege" privileges.
As soon as possible after the incident, a sample of x-0172 bacteria was sent to the Institute of Advanced Research by Xiaguang on the return flight, and was kept in the strictest custody.
It's just that this matter hasn't been made public.
Packing up the report, Professor Liu was about to leave. Just then he suddenly remembered something and asked.
"Yes, that metabolic extract ... have you run out?"
"One more point, I put it in the office. If you need it, I will have it sent to you in a while ..." Seeing Professor Liu looked at himself strangely, Lu Zhou froze slightly and asked casually, " ……what happened?"
Shaking his head, Professor Liu asked suspiciously.
"I don't know Fang is inconvenient to ask a question."
Lu Zhou "What's the problem? Ask it."
Professor Liu Zuobing "Do you know Dr. Z?"
Lu Zhou "... don't know, what's wrong?"
"I just guessed, don't go into your heart," Professor Liu smiled a little embarrassedly and asked, "Dr. Z, who has uploaded the thesis to arxiv, isn't you--"
A light cough interrupted Professor Liu's words, and Lu Zhou asked back, "Do you think it is possible?"
Professor Liu nodded honestly.
"Generally speaking, there are a few more preprints of biology papers posted on biorxiv. I rarely hear my colleagues throwing preprints on arxiv ... if I remember correctly, arxiv should be physics and mathematics And computer-oriented papers. "
In addition, there are only a few people who can contact the x-0172 bacterial sample. Several experts on the Moon Palace said that they did not write it themselves. On the ground, only the Jinling Institute of Advanced Research had access to live samples.
Not Lu Zhou, it can only be written by some of my students when they touch the fish ...
But it is clear what the level of his students is, he is better at this than he is a professor. It's okay to give him a shot at their ability, such a high-level paper is obviously not what they can write.
However, he did not dare to fully believe his judgment. After all, Lu Zhou had never published a paper in the biological direction, and he had never heard of similar research by Professor Lu ...
Thinking of this, Liu Zuobing was a little confused again.
Compared to Professor Liu who was in a tangled state, Lu Zhou was awkward now.
Does biology have a dedicated preprint site?
Not posted on arxiv?
Maye ~ EbookFREE.me ~ This is the first time he has heard of this.
Sure enough, the next time I do this kind of thing, I still have to investigate in advance, otherwise it would be too embarrassing to be recognized.
"Okay, don't think about some of these."
After coughing, Lu Zhou forcibly ended the topic and said, "No matter who Dr. Z is, we will remember his contribution. If he does not want others to know his identity, I think we better respect his choice … In addition, the project group on x-0172 bacteria can be disbanded, and relevant research data can be merged into the frozen dormancy project group. "
After a little sting, Professor Liu asked immediately.
"Isn't there yet another colonizer who didn't wake up?"
Lu Zhou "We have solved the rarest level, and the rest is left to the international team of experts to solve it. As for you, you can continue to study human cryogenic technology."
