Up South Down North [Entertainment]

Two weeks before Shi Nan went to country Y to film, the whole family was actively preparing luggage for Teacher Shi. Even the steamed stuffed bun, who is now in the sky, felt a little bit of parting sadness, and wanted to stuff his favorite things in his father's big suitcase all day long. My favorite stuffed Angora rabbit.

On this day, Bei Gu, who finally finished filming four shots of the Big Bear crew, went out and felt a different atmosphere when he returned home.

Brother Lei, Ah Wen, Mother Shi, and Shi Nan are all in the living room. The four of them are sitting in the corner of the big sofa, with a teacup in each hand, and their expressions... are indescribable.

"...Where's Baozi?" Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Bei Gu picked a neutral topic, breaking the silence of the room.

"Xiaobei is back. I cooked mung bean and lily soup to cool off the heat. Qiuhuo is pretty good. Baozi is watching cartoons with Lele next door!" Shi's mother was the first to put down the teacup in her hand, stood up, and smiled. Yan, took the initiative to go to the kitchen to serve soup.

Brother Lei and Awen on the sofa stood up and said hello.

Bei Gu nodded, changed his shoes and washed his hands, looked at the mung bean soup in the white porcelain bowl, hesitated for a moment, took a small sip, and secretly looked at Shi Nan who was sitting in the living room like a sculpture.

Shi Nan seemed to feel Bei Gu's gaze, and suddenly woke up, stood up, went to the dining table and sat next to Bei Gu, took out a tissue, wiped the thin sweat from Bei Gu's forehead, and used The action compensates for the negligence just now.

"What's wrong?" Bei Gu put down the bowl in his hand and gently held Shi Nan's hand on the table, and touched Shi Nan's frowning brow with the other hand.

Shi Nan raised his head, his usually gentle eyes were stained with a trace of melancholy and...uncontrollable excitement.He held Bei Gu's with his backhand, and looked back at Brother Lei and A Wen in the living room, the latter stood up tactfully and said goodbye.

Arwen glanced at the coffee table before leaving, and there was a crumpled envelope on it.Bei Gu took a cursory glance, only to see several postage stamps affixed to the envelope.

Bei Gu's heart trembled, and something flashed through his mind. He wanted to stand up and look at the envelope on the coffee table. When he sat back on the sofa, his mother was also staring at the strange crumpled envelope...

Bei Gu looked back at Shi Nan eagerly, his lips moved and his voice trembled uncontrollably, "...it's...it's Dad...Dad, do they have any news?"

Shi Nan's hand tightened, and before he had time to say anything, Bei Gu already knew the answer.He picked up Shi Nan and walked step by step to the coffee table in the living room, staring at the kraft paper envelope on the coffee table, swallowing hard.

Before stretching out his hand, Bei Gu turned his head and glanced at Shi's mother on the sofa with concern.Bei Gu stretched out his arms, and instead of bending down to take the envelope, he held Shi's mother's slender wrist, and asked softly, "Mom, are you... all right?"

Shi's mother seemed to be in a stable mood. She smiled a little, and the smile was fleeting at the corners of her curled lips. She patted Bei Gu's arm and said lightly, "It's okay. I know everything. I... I'll go next door to see Baozi and Lele first."

After speaking, he hurried out, not forgetting to close the door.

"Click" the door was locked, and for a while there were only Bei Gu and Shi Nan left in the house.

Bei Gu looked back at Shi Nan worriedly.

Shi Nan shook his head, "It's okay, mom is fine...she already knew just now, Xiaobei..."

Shi Nan took a deep breath, brought him to the sofa, let Bei Gu sit on his lap, and firmly wrapped him in his arms in a protective posture, with his chin pressed against Bei Gu's. Gu's shoulder, whispered, "Dad... wrote a letter..."

An envelope that had already been opened was handed to Bei Gu. Bei Gu squeezed it, feeling the texture of the rough kraft paper between his thumb and forefinger, and asked anxiously, "Brother Nan, give me a vaccination first." , good news or bad news?"

Shi Nan tightened his arms, wrapped his hands around Bei Gu's lower abdomen, and rubbed his chin on Bei Gu's side face, "There are good and bad, but overall it's good, but it's a bit long... Let's watch it together, it's okay."

Bei Gu opened the envelope and took out a small stack of thin letter paper——this is the cheapest kind of manuscript paper, but the header on it is unusual. The whole letter is like a box that has been dusty for many years. Open.

【The Third Institute of Biomedicine, Chinese Academy of Sciences】

Nan Nan, Xiao Bei:

wishing all the best……

The stationery was old, with yellowed edges and brittle paper, but the ink from the pen and the last date were new.It's like a conversation through a time tunnel, carrying the past and the present at the same time.

Looking at the unfamiliar handwriting on the letter paper, Bei Gu carefully turned over the Chinese characters he knew but barely understood, and was speechless for a long time.

Shi Nan took the letter from Bei Gu, and introduced the situation to the people in his arms bit by bit, "This morning, the company just put all the donations for the second half of the year into the accounts of Sunshine Hope Primary School and the Red Cross. People contacted and said that some recipients of donations wrote thank-you letters and wanted to entrust the organization to deliver them to us. A large box of express delivery, there are special products and small gifts made by children. They are sorting these things in the morning. Then... mixed Found it in the thank-you letters from the kids."

Bei Gu turned the empty envelope in his hand, looked at the stamp on the envelope, and felt a little clear in his heart.

Shi Nan put one of his hands on the stamp on the envelope, "Yes, you saw it too, the stamp was put on, but there was no postmark, and finally they chose to send it along with the children's presents."

Bei Gu twitched the tip of his nose, and asked sullenly: "What if I didn't see it, so many... lost..."

"No...I think...they probably have been paying attention to us for a long time...They know that we have the habit of publishing all the children's letters and gifts on the website, and they know that this is far more important than sending them individually...After all, they only Know the address of the company, the company one day..."

Bei Gu thought of the various gifts sent by the fans, and was silently shocked, but the sourness at the tip of his nose could not be relieved no matter what.He was silent for a while, then asked: "Then this letter... I... Brother Lei and Brother Awen..."

Shi Nan knew what he was going to ask, and shook his head, "They didn't open the letter, nor did they see the specific content, they just wanted to make corresponding preparations in advance for our father's possible return, those...they don't know."

"Oh." Bei Gu squeezed the envelope tightly, lowered the corners of his eyes, and at 1.8 meters five, he was in Shi Nan's arms, and he looked a bit pitiful.

Shi Nan tightened his arms and comforted him softly, "Xiaobei is going to drop Jindoudou? Think happy, Dad and the others are coming back... they are coming back... don't be sad... it's over..."

The letter was written by Shi Nan's father, Shi Anxing.In the letter, for the first time, he fully explained the past that he was so desperate that he thought he was going to rot in his stomach and take him to the grave.

When Shi Nan was just born, Huaguo launched a top-secret biomedical scientific research project: the S-cell reverse differentiation research project (003 project), also known as the super-cell reproduction project.The Third Institute of Biomedicine of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was actually established entirely for this project.Although in order to maintain the top secret of this project, the "three institutes" have made many other expansions of biomedical experiments, but these small projects are actually supplements and a certain degree of cover-up for the core 003 project.

Shi Nan's father, Bei Gu's parents are the core members of Project 003.

003 This project is simple and popular, it is to look for a specific cell in a specific state, this cell can differentiate into cells with multiple functions, and return to the original state from cells with multiple functions under certain conditions, so as to eliminate human beings. A series of problems such as irreversible lesions of cells.

It sounds fanciful, but such cells with similar functions have really been "guessed".This person is Shi Anxing.Shi Anxing's scientific inspiration came from the Yi family, and he wrote this conjecture into a paper and handed it to Sun Zhonghai of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.Sun Zhonghai attached great importance to Shi Anxing's "Arabian Nights", saw its scientific value at a glance, found a person in charge, and then established a special research institute, which is the origin of the "three institutes".

The reason why men and women of the Yi tribe can have children is by no means like the myth told by Grandma Beigu, "Nvwa Empress used soil to create humans, and the soil she stepped on by herself became a living soil (Yi Tu) )...there are the Yitu people, who are now the Yi people..."

It's because the Yi people have a kind of cell that can differentiate and reverse differentiate indefinitely, and they are jokingly called "super cells".When the Yi people conceived, the various functional cells in the body that seemed to be completely normal would undergo reverse differentiation, creating similar "egg cells" that would combine with normal sperm and become "fertilized eggs". In addition, those cells could also Differentiate into specific cells that provide a healthy growth environment for the fetus and then form organs...

Such cells have unimaginable activity, and also have unexpected reverse differentiation and differentiation capabilities.If it can be extracted and used in the body of ordinary patients to replace the diseased body tissue cells in the body—it is like adding new parts to the body, no matter what the state of the cell was before, it can return to an "initial mode" , and then further differentiated into the required parts...

Many intractable diseases, such as cancer, can be cured.

Shi Anxing's conjecture was bold and meticulous.He even suggested secretly that the Yi clan evolved from the theory of evolution, a "selected" race, and a race with its own genetic advantages.

He said that this is not without scientific basis—the Yi people do rarely suffer from serious illnesses. Studies have shown that the disease rate of the body organs of the Yi people before the age of 50 is very low, and the mortality rate is also low, probably super cell cause.

But in any case, racial bias is unethical in science.

Scientists should not put forward and favor views of racial superiority. Even if it is true "science", it violates the "bottom line". The necessity of "moderation", his point of view, also planted the seeds of disaster for a series of things that happened later.

Shi Anxing led the research team to do a lot of experiments. At first, he wanted to extract the cells, but later found that the cells would lose their activity after leaving the mother for more than 72 hours, so he began to think about how to study the gene duplication and grafting of the Yi people.

However, due to constraints related to ethics and technology at the time, various experiments could not be realized.

First of all, he can't experiment with live Yi clansmen, he can only get blood samples provided by the hospital. Almost all the blood provided by the hospital is more than 72 hours old. cause of inactivation.Secondly, in the first two years of the experiment, there was a lack of equipment and technology—there were no related research projects abroad, and there was no other way to design and manufacture the experimental instruments.

Dr. Shi was anxious, but he didn't step on the high-tension line, and kept trying to remind himself to conduct experiments with conscience.The progress of the experiment was very slow at one time, and the whole experimental group was in a hurry.

It was like this day after day...Suddenly one day, Dr. Shi saw a set of data that he had never seen before on the experimental bench. The data was very real and close to perfect.Only then did he suddenly realize that the laboratory had a "fresh sample" at some point.

As Bei Gu guessed, the sample was none other than Bei Gu's mother——Bei Xiuyi.Bei Xiuyi has been in charge of the blood samples of the Yi clan in the experiment group. The blood samples come from the only hospital (Jincheng General Hospital) that has the authority to identify the Yi clan. Bei Xiuyi has a good relationship with the doctors of the general hospital. After the appraisal, he unexpectedly found out that he was from the Yi clan.

She was pleasantly surprised, but she dared not tell Bei Gu's father, Gu Changfeng, that she was worried that her loving husband would oppose her "selfless dedication". Resolutely use your own "fresh cells" for experiments.

At the beginning, she just tried secretly without telling Gu Changfeng and Dr. Shi, and replaced the samples bit by bit. Later, she found that the effect was remarkable, and all of them matched the "bold guess" in Dr. Shi's thesis, so she took the initiative to show everyone.Dr. Shi was frightened and furious, but also shocked by the newly obtained perfect data, and the dormitory was uneasy for a while...

And Gu Changfeng locked himself in his independent small office, and didn't come out for two whole days.

The experiment finally went on.

Everything is developing towards the good... Gradually matching data, experiments with cells and seemingly reasonable reactions in experimental animals...

The first step has already been "excavated" of super cells, but the second step of extracting the gene fragments with super cells and grafting has just begun.

The cells and tissues needed for gene extraction are far more than those needed for the previous "super cell" demonstration mining.At that time, Dr. Shi chose the method with the lowest efficiency, but Bei Xiuyi firmly opposed it. She advocated the use of the latest technology, which has side effects on the body but is the most efficient method.

At that time, Gu Xiaobei had just entered elementary school.In front of her children, Bei Xiuyi was always a cheerful and responsible mother. Xiaobei was still young and knew nothing about her mother's work and her persistence.

For further experiments, Bei Gu's parents had a big fight behind closed doors during the day when their children were at school.Gu Changfeng's eyes were about to burst, and he collapsed several times.

"If chimpanzees with high similarity to humans are always tested, the progress of medicine can only be slowed down by at least 50 or even 100 years. In this half century, how many people will suffer from diseases. Similarly, What is the difference between you choosing that method and using chimpanzees? I voluntarily made these sacrifices, and maybe... I am sorry for my family, I am sorry for Chang Feng, and I am sorry for Xiaobei. But... I was adopted by my adoptive parents and grew up. I have never felt that there is anything unlucky... When I think back then, they, my parents, they were tortured by illnesses, they couldn't sleep all night long, no medicines worked, and the pain until the day of death... …so I……"

Bei Gu’s mother, Bei Xiuyi, was an orphan and was adopted by kind people. She had a short but happy three-person life with her adoptive parents. Part of her extreme attitude towards the experiment was due to her own love for her adoptive parents. But relatives don't wait, her adoptive parents both died of serious illnesses.

Both Gu Changfeng and Dr. Shi knew about this past, apart from being distressed, seeing Bei Xiuyi's determination to experiment with himself, they felt powerless and unable to stop it.Gu Changfeng only made one request at the end, that he must be present for all the experiments Bei Xiuyi participated in.

In this way, experiments again and again were almost successful, but major accidents occurred at critical junctures.

During a gene extraction transfer and re-transplantation, rejection suddenly appeared, and Bei Xiuyi's life characteristics were all reduced to the bottom line. Gu Changfeng grabbed Bei Xiuyi and rushed all the way to "" Three "supporting hospital emergency room.

The experimental data is damaged, and the life and death of the experimental subject is uncertain...

The disaster fell like an avalanche in an instant.

Human experiments, major accidents, loss of experimental data in panic, equipment damage, trampling ethics and morals...all problems came in a crowd.But Bei Xiuyi was still in a coma, and Dr. Shi, who had suffered for a long time, finally collapsed. This accident attracted great attention from above, and all the relevant personnel were taken away overnight. Sun Zhonghai, the person in charge of the "Three Institutes", was the first to bear the brunt, and then Shi Anxing...

An Xing's suspected racial prejudice in the past was also revealed. The scientists who lost their asylum were interrogated and investigated back and forth for a whole month, and they were locked in a room isolated from the world, like interrogating criminals. Repeatedly ask them to explain the details of the experiment.

When Shi Anxing knew that Sun Zhonghai was imprisoned, he was now the pillar of the entire laboratory and could not be broken; Gu Changfeng was worried about Bei Xiuyi who was still in a coma, and worried about the lonely and helpless Gu Xiaobei, so he survived with just one breath.

I don't know how long it took, maybe only two weeks, maybe a month, after this period of dark days passed, Shi Anxing, Gu Changfeng and others finally waited for Sun Zhonghai, Director Sun, who had returned from the investigation.

Director Sun, who had been cleared for a while, took away the prisoner in the laboratory with a red-headed secret letter.Since then, the long road of "redemption" has begun—they have become a voluntary medical team supported by the state. Clinical treatment continues the unfinished scientific career, and at the same time, he paid the due price for his past behavior.

You must know that human experimentation in China and even the whole world is a felony, and it is an inescapable and ineradicable sin of the 003 Project, both emotionally and rationally.

The turning point brought by Director Sun is not only because of Bei Xiuyi's sobriety, explanation and testimony of the details of the experiment, but also because of repeated discussions on various special issues by the state|country, and finally a compromise solution proposed.

In order to protect the experiment, but also for their own personal safety—the above also know that the publication of this research result will eventually subvert the existing medicine, and at the same time drive the progress of society as a whole.In the end, they were asked not to show up in public for 20 years until all the previous experimental data were perfected and preliminary results were made.

And the opportunity to send the letter is only because their research over the years has finally yielded results...

At the same time, because of the overwhelming "Superman Daddy Returns" program across the country, Shi Nan finally said to the camera:

"Every father is a superman, and his child looks forward to his father's return every day like a superhero lying by the window."
