“Thank you, Ms. Song.”Huo Shaoheng was so exhausted that he had no choice but to ask song jinning, who had nothing to do with their work, for help.
This was the first time in his career.
Song Jinning was very worried about his health, but she still said, “I will do everything I can to help you, but you have to be mentally prepared. Professional people do professional things. I’m not good at finding people.”
She was also worried about Gu Nianzhi’s whereabouts, but these were not her areas of expertise, so she was very wise not to point fingers at Huo Shaoheng’s work to prevent it from affecting their normal work.
Huo Shaoheng also knew this, but he really had no other way.
The other party’s technology was obviously more advanced than theirs, and they had planned it beforehand. They had prepared for so long like casting a net. If he did not think of any other way, then there would really be no chance of winning.
He explained to song jinning the procedures and objectives of their work, and discussed the follow-up progress. Then, he called Zhao Liangze and asked him to send over the surveillance footage related to Gu Nianzhi’s disappearance.
After song Jinning received all the surveillance footage, she immediately began to analyze the data.
Huo Shaoheng took his leave and prepared to leave her lab.
Just as he pushed the door open, a chubby man in a white lab coat stood at the door and was about to ring the doorbell.
“Huo Shao? ! Why are you here? !”
The person standing at the door of Song Jinning’s lab was Chen Lie.
Huo Shaoheng was also very surprised. “Weren’t you testing the DNA for comparison?”
Shouldn’t it be in the underground lab?
Because the quantum computer was underground.
Chen lie narrowed his eyes and smiled absentmindedly. “Of course! Damn, I’m so tired! Now all I see are numbers. I think you’re just like data, hahahaha…”
Huo Shaoheng:”…”
He stepped aside and Chen Lie walked in. He looked around. “Where’s director song? Why are you here?”
Chen Lie had been working with the quantum computer for more than two days, and he was feeling a little dizzy. He rubbed his eyes and looked around. He was extremely excited and even trembling.
Huo Shaoheng thought for a moment. “Let’s go out first. Don’t disturb Ms. Song’s work.”
He closed the lab door gently and left the Institute of High Energy Physics with Chen Lie.
..
The two of them returned to the office building of the headquarter of special operationforces’encampment ground. The sky was already bright.
The September Sun brought with it the heat of late summer. Although it was only early in the morning, it was already somewhat powerful.
Huo Shaoheng closed the door of his office and looked at Chen Lie. His expression was still calm, but his voice was a little unsteady.”… The results are out?”
Chen Lie’s round eyes narrowed into slits.”… they’re out!”
Huo Shaoheng looked at him without batting an eyelid. “What do you mean by being so agitated?”
Chen lie leaned forward and said mysteriously, “Beg me! If You Beg me, I’ll tell you!”
Huo Shaoheng closed his eyes speechlessly and said calmly, “Chen Lie, Nianzhi is waiting for us to save her. You’re still keeping her in suspense. Ask your conscience…”
“… It Hurts!”Chen lie rubbed his chest, his face twisted with pain. “I’m in such a good mood and so emotional. I’m really sorry for Nianzhi. My Conscience Really Hurts!”
Huo Shaoheng’s lips twitched as he sat down on the sofa opposite him and said calmly, “If you hadn’t laughed so hard that I couldn’t see my eyes, I would still have believed you.”
Chen Lie didn’t want to laugh, but the corners of his mouth couldn’t be suppressed. “Huo Shao, my conscience really hurts! Trust me!”
“I don’t believe you.”Huo Shaoheng straightened his long legs and crossed his arms. He was calm and composed. “Tell me now, or I’ll show you the Iron Fist of the People’s dictatorship.”
Huo Shaoheng’s deterrence still had some effect.
Chen Lie took a deep breath and finally calmed down. “I spent two days and a night using a quantum computer to finally compare the two sets of DNA’s six billion base pairs in order.”
Huo Shaoheng listened attentively. He turned on his phone and aimed it at Chen Lie to record the video.
Chen lie continued, “You know, I’ve never seen anything like this before!”
“I compared he zhichu’s DNA sequence with that of the 16-year-old boy.”Chen Lie took out a flash drive from his pocket. “Let me show you.”
The computer in Huo Shaoheng’s office was connected to the big screen on the wall. Chen lie walked to the back of the computer and plugged the flash drive-in.
Chen lie opened the file in the flash drive and was ecstatic.
“Look, this is the DNA of the teenager who died at the age of 16. We can call him little he zhichu.”
“This is the sequence of the DNA base pairs of big he zhichu, professor he zhichu.”
“From the comparison of all the base pairs, I found that their DNA base pairs are almost exactly the same. Yes, you didn’t hear wrong. I said almost, not exactly the same as we thought!”
Huo Shaoheng remained calm, but he still heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
It finally proved that these two people were not the same person.
As long as their DNA was different, they could never be the same person.
“But where are the differences?”Chen lie pointed to Huo Shaoheng with the mouse, “Look, this is where the young he zhichu’s DNA mutated. There are a total of eight nodes. This proves that what the nanny said is true. The young he zhichu is indeed sick, and it’s a disease that won’t last long.”
“These few DNA mutations directly restrict his hematopoietic function. In other words, he really has a very serious congenital disease.”
“Look here again. This is professor he’s DNA sequence. Look at the corresponding eight nodes here. They are completely healthy and normal. There is no sign of mutation at all!”
“Therefore, the bases in these eight places in professor he’s DNA are completely different from the young he zhichu’s. This also proves that their DNA sequences are not exactly the same!”
Chen lie was so excited that his face was red. “Let’s take a look at the results of the DNA comparison between our Nianzhi and Little Nianzhi. It’s even more amazing!”
He had deliberately used the words “Our nianzhi”and “Little Nianzhi”to distinguish between the two people.
Little Nianzhi was the twelve-year-old girl who had died in the submarine in the Blue Hole of the Caribbean Sea seven years ago.
Our Nianzhi was, of course, the nineteen-year-old girl who had grown up beside them and was now missing.
“It’s very similar to he zhichu’s situation. Their DNA is almost the same, except in two key areas.”
“But these two key areas are different from he zhichu’s situation.”
Chen lie slowed down his tone and said word by word, “The situation on their side is even more unbelievable!”
“First of all, you have to know that half of all blue star’s genes contain the genes of ancient viruses. “They are usually hidden and invisible. They will only be expressed when the conditions are right or when they are stimulated by the outside world, causing various diseases of the immune system
“As for Xiao Nianzhi’s gene sequence, it clearly shows that there are two nodes in her genes that do not maintain the characteristics of invisibility but are expressed in her body
“Therefore, her body is very weak. Gu Yanran once said that she eavesdropped on Gu Xiangwen’s conversation with his wife and said that Little Nianzhi would not live past 18 years old. It must be true.”
“Such a congenital genetic condition is practically carrying a living virus. It would be a miracle if she could live past 18 years old!”
Chen lie hammered the mouse hard.
Huo Shaoheng looked at him without batting an eyelid.
Chen lie immediately wilted. He rubbed his hands together and said in a fawning manner, “But our Nianzhi is different! Look at this, this is our Nianzhi’s genetic blueprint!”
On the big screen on the wall, a comparison of the genetic blueprints appeared.
In Huo Shaoheng’s eyes, those long and short pictures looked exactly the same as binary pictures.
However, to those who knew better, these were the most beautiful pictures in the world.
“I can say that our NIANZHI’s genetic structure represents the most perfect combination of human genes. There are no mutations, no defects, and more importantly, all human genes!”
Huo Shaoheng was speechless. “She’s human. What’s so strange about all human genes?”
“Of course it’s weird!”Chen lie waved his fists excitedly, “I just said that 8% of the genes in the entire human genome are actually from viruses! 8%! Do you understand? ! That means that each of us has more or less non-human genes!”
Huo Shaoheng:”…”
This was really hard to understand and believe.
How could there be 8% of virus genes in human genes?
Chen lie adjusted his glasses on his nose bridge and explained to Huo Shaoheng with a flushed face.
“It’s like this. First, you have to know what a Virus is. Its English name is Virus.”
“In the textbook, it is stated that a virus is a non-cellular form, between a living organism and a non-living organism. It is neither living nor non-living.”
“It is mainly composed of a nucleic acid molecule, which is DNA or RNA, and a protein
“Its infection of the host depends on continuous self-replication to occupy the host’s body
“When viruses infected humans in ancient times, they could convert their own RNA into DNA and leave it in the ancient human genome
“Although the infected humans eventually defeated the viruses and survived, the defeated viruses were not completely removed from the human body
“The DNA fragments that they left in the human genome just lay dormant and passed down from generation to generation
“Therefore, 8% of the human genes identified by modern humans actually came from ancient viruses
“The different viruses embedded in our genome have different effects on the human body. We can’t generalize them.”
“However, we can’t deny that these are all external effects. Even if some virus genes have been ‘tamed’by the human body and become an indispensable part of the human genes, they are still ‘non-humans with different hearts’.”
“Their concealment is like a time bomb. You Don’t know when they will be detonated
“Some virus genes even determine the degree of resistance of the human body to certain diseases
“In this sense, whether or not you will get those serious diseases is really determined by the genes. The influence of the acquired factors is not big
“Therefore, in order to treat certain diseases, the most effective way is to start with genes.”
“But to be honest, our understanding of genes is still too shallow. The technology that can be used to treat them from the genetic level is too backward. The cost is huge, and there is not much effect.”
“But our NIANZHI’s genes are different. Not only does her genes not have any remnants of the ancient virus genes, they are completely human genes. They are extremely healthy and perfect, and have that kind of powerful… function!”
Chen Lie’s last sentence was vague, but Huo Shaoheng understood what he meant.
It was not strange that there were no mutations or defects in the genes, but not only were there no mutations or defects, but all human genes were also human genes. It was very heaven-defying that they could repair mutations and defects.
Huo Shaoheng frowned,”… are they really that perfect?”
Things that were too perfect always felt surreal and did not last long.
“It’s just that perfect. I’ll hang myself if I don’t accept it.”Chen lie laughed as he uttered Gu Nianzhi’s catchphrase.
“So, our NIANZHI’s DNA is actually different from Little Nianzhi’s?”Huo Shaoheng urgently needed to confirm this, or else he would not know how to face Little Nianzhi’s body, which was about to be escorted back by Yin Shixiong.
“Definitely different.”Chen lie was very emotional, “Although the parts related to Gu Xiangwen’s genes are indeed the same, there are still differences between them. This kind of difference is like the difference between two sisters who have the same father and mother.”
“But Gu Xiangwen didn’t have two daughters.”Huo Shaoheng subconsciously refuted Chen Lie’s conclusion.
Chen lie shrugged, he said nonchalantly, “From a purely biological point of view, even if they weren’t born from the same parents, it’s still possible for them to have DNA that is related to each other. Although the probability is very, very small, it’s not completely impossible.”
Huo Shaoheng thought about this possibility, but Chen Lie was shocked by his discovery.
“Huo Shao, have you thought about it? Our Nianzhi’s genes might be the only set of genes in this world that all belong to humans! No wonder it’s so perfect! So Powerful!”Chen lie was practically dancing with joy, “If only I could publish a paper! This is definitely a Nobel prize-level discovery!”
Huo Shaoheng couldn’t help but glare at him and remind him, “You’ve made a discovery that’s even greater than this, so wake up. The sky is already bright, stop daydreaming.”
Chen lie chuckled and sighed, “This discovery is different from other discoveries. This discovery can be made public, but unfortunately, it’s on our nianzhi, so we can’t tell anyone!”
Huo Shaoheng thought about it for a while and silently deleted the video he had just recorded. He then reminded Chen lie, “Keep this discovery in your stomach forever, and only tell the public that the two of them are biological sisters.”
“… OH.”Chen lie looked at Huo Shaoheng. Although he felt very sorry for him, he still nodded.
The two of them looked at each other speechlessly. After sitting for a while, Chen Lie yawned loudly and said, “I’m really tired. I haven’t slept in three days. Huo Shao, I’m going back first, okay?”
Huo Shaoheng nodded and watched Chen lie leave.
He turned his seat around and looked out the window at the morning light. He thought, where is Nianzhi Now?
Are they really getting closer to her?
