My winter break homework was exposed, and I, a vocational school student, am now being snapped up by

This...this is...

After reading the paper, Vance immediately fell into deep thought.

Although the entire paper only theoretically introduces a completely new gene-editing tool.

Such theoretical articles actually have little practical value.

The problem is that at the end of the paper, Lin Chen actually attached an experimental report from the Longke Institute, proving the reliability and accuracy of his new tool in gene experiments.

This shows that this paper is not just empty talk; the things in it have actually become a reality!

Wang Defa!

How did he do that?

It's important to understand that even in the most advanced gene labs in the United States, the success rate of gene editing experiments varies greatly under the same conditions.

Even the simplest and most mature gene editing techniques only have an accuracy rate of 90%.

For more complex editing tasks, a success rate of 30% would be a blessing.

Damn Lin Chen!

Why didn't he write his paper more clearly?

What exactly are those transcriptases mentioned in the article?

"Professor Vance? Professor Vance?"

Suddenly, Vance was brought back to his senses by the shouts of those around him.

"Professor Vance, are there any problems with this paper?"

"No."

Although he didn't want to answer that way, Vance had to admit that he couldn't find any problems in the paper.

"The content of this paper should be true!"

"The Chinese have now mastered a gene-editing technology far surpassing ours! In the future, their gene-editing efficiency will be ten thousand times greater than ours!"

Vance made a worst-case scenario prediction with a serious expression.

But that's not what the intelligence agents wanted to hear.

"Professor Vance, that's not what we wanted to ask... Lin Chen said his next research direction was chips, but now he's inexplicably come up with a gene-editing technology. We'd like to know, what's the connection between this and chips?"

"What connection could there be? The relationship between this thing and chips is like the relationship between baking bread and making an atomic bomb. Do you think someone who bakes bread can make an atomic bomb?"

Upon hearing this, the intelligence personnel on site all laughed.

So, was Lin Chen's previous speech something the Dragon Kingdom officials asked him to say? Was it to inspire people in adversity?

Then there is nothing to be afraid of.

Soon, these intelligence agents reported Professor Vance's conclusions to the members of Congress who were concerned about the matter.

The group of old men breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to continue watching the Chinese make a fool of themselves.

What they didn't know was that after Professor Vance returned home, reflecting on the papers he had seen that day, a thought suddenly popped into his mind that even he found unbelievable.

Strictly speaking, gene editing technology is not entirely unrelated to chips.

Of course, the chips mentioned here do not refer to the silicon-based chips currently on the market.

It's a biochip that only exists in science fiction!

Lin Chen's gene-editing technology allows him to perform any gene-editing work he desires in the future.

If he can use this tool to solve some problems, then perhaps biochips can become a reality?

But... is that really possible?

Vance finally shook his head, abandoning the idea of ​​calling those intelligence agents again.

Anyway, he wasn't wrong today; Lin Chen's gene editing technology really has absolutely nothing to do with silicon-based chips.

……

After confirming that Lin Chen's paper was unrelated to chip technology, the United States did not obstruct its publication.

On the contrary, it was because some high-ranking people in the United States wanted the whole world to see Lin Chen make a fool of himself that the paper was published as soon as possible.

As expected, Lin Chen's paper caused a great sensation in the academic community as soon as it was published.

Countless researchers in the biological community have a love-hate relationship with this paper.

What we love is that Lin Chen's discovery signifies that human genetic research is about to usher in a new era!

What I hate is that Lin Chen's paper contained some reservations, and some crucial data was not made public.

Mr. Lin Chen! Science knows no borders!

Why are you so narrow-minded?

Why can't you just publish your gene-editing tools outright?

……

However, compared to the academic community's attitude, outside of academia, there was more ridicule than praise for Lin Chen.

Instigated by certain individuals and spurred by the lure of green banknotes, all sorts of shady characters on the Chinese internet mobilized to launch a full-blown scathing attack on Lin Chen.

"Who said the next research direction would be chips? Why are you still doing research in the field of genes?"

"Anyone can talk big, but this is the first time I've ever seen someone do it in such a formal setting!"

"That's hilarious! The whole world is laughing at us now. Lin Chen, where's the chip you promised? When are you going to produce it?"

"The thought that we allowed such a boastful person to become an academician fills me with heartache and shame!"

It has to be said that the internet doesn't really have much of a memory.

Although Lin Chen has proven himself countless times in the past.

With so many people stirring things up this time, many netizens actually believed what they said and started cheering for Lin Chen.

They felt that Lin Chen had been too ambitious this time, and had become a laughing stock in everyone's eyes.

Since you enjoy researching gene technology, then continue your research. Why did you make such a fuss that day, acting as if you were the savior of the domestic chip industry?

This caused the stock prices of domestic chip companies to rise for several days.

Now that the truth has been revealed, the stock prices of domestic chip companies are about to start falling again!

Whether the outside world's disturbances have bothered Lin Chen is unknown to others.

But at least many people at Long University of Technology felt the pressure.

That day, Old Wang used the excuse of visiting Lin Chen's laboratory to take a stroll around his territory.

After the tour was over, Old Wang said earnestly, "Lin Chen, young people are full of vigor and sometimes it's normal to say grand words when they get excited. But now you are an academician, and your words and actions represent the country... You should be careful."

Forehead?

Lin Chen looked completely bewildered: "Old Wang, what have I done wrong lately?"

"No, no, you're fine. It's just that you said you wanted to research chip technology before, right? If you didn't intend to research chips, you shouldn't have said those things back then..."

Old Wang added a sentence.

Lin Chen then realized that Old Wang had come because of the recent online controversy.

He couldn't help but laugh, and then led Old Wang into a room with security personnel on duty at the door.

"Teacher, who said I didn't plan to study chips?"

"Huh? You're really researching chips?"

Old Wang looked at the laboratory with a puzzled expression.

Although there are many high-tech-looking devices inside.

Although Professor Wang's expertise is in mathematics, not anything else.

But he could also tell that this laboratory didn't seem like a place related to chips at all.

It looks more like a medical laboratory.

"Lin Chen, what exactly is going on..."

"Old Wang, come and take a look..."

Lin Chen pulled Old Wang directly to a petri dish.

He pointed to a thin protein membrane about the size of a fingernail floating inside and said, "Professor Wang, this is the chip I'm researching!"

"Huh? This is a chip?"

"That's right, what I've been researching recently is exactly this... gene chip!"
