In Class 4, Grade 3, Ningcheng No. 1 Middle School, Lu Xiao, the head teacher and math teacher at the podium, was explaining math problems nonstop, and his eyes habitually glanced at Liu Yuan, who was sitting in the corner.
At this moment, Liu Yuan was holding his head with one hand, as if he was deep in thought and not listening to his lecture at all.
However, he didn't care about it and didn't feel angry at all.
Liu Yuan's mathematics has already reached its ceiling, and any question is no longer difficult for him. Learning other subjects in mathematics class has become the norm.
That is to say, in a small place like Ningcheng, if it were in a big city or some well-known high schools across the country, Liu Yuan could definitely participate in the Mathematical Olympiad competition, and he could directly win the Mathematical Olympiad and be recommended to the top prestigious school, but this is just a small place.
County high school.
There are few options for children, the only way is the college entrance examination. If you go to a big city, there are various competitions, various exchange competitions, studying abroad, art, sports, etc., there are many ways.
Lu Xiao knew that for a top student like Liu Yuan, he didn't need the teacher's urging at all. He knew how to plan his own study. It didn't matter whether he listened to his classes or not, as long as his grades didn't decline.

"Seeds, why are genes so magical? It can be said that all factors of life are determined by genes."
In his mind, Liu Yuan was learning about biomedicine on earth.
Liu Yuan's learning ability is extremely terrifying. In a very short period of time, he has basically learned all the biomedical knowledge that can be found on the earth, and now he has begun to learn the relevant knowledge in the inheritance seeds.
"I don't know either. I can only answer you with the words of a great biologist in God's civilization. The mystery of life is as profound and vast as the mystery of the universe. If one day the mystery of life can be truly unlocked, perhaps
It will also reveal the mysteries of the universe.”
A piece of text comes to mind.
"Life and the universe?"
When Liu Yuan heard this, he was immediately confused. What is the relationship between this life and the universe?
"I don't know what the relationship between life and the universe is, but this great biologist is the scientist who has studied life most deeply in the entire universe. His words must have some truth to them."
Seed didn't know anything about it, and he completely shied away the blame.
"Life and the universe~"
Liu Yuan silently wrote down this sentence, and then said: "I am currently studying this cancer cell, and my theoretical knowledge reserve is rich enough, but I can't find time to conduct experimental research."
"According to the knowledge I learned from you, any living thing is determined by genes. Therefore, everything related to life can also be intervened through genetic means, including the treatment of various diseases."
"It seems to be very simple to cure cancer."
"This cancer has characteristics such as wireless proliferation, loss of contact inhibition, weakened intercellular adhesion, and easy agglutination by lectins. Any one of these characteristics can be used to perfectly treat cancer."
"For example, by interfering with the genes of cancer cells to make them lose their ability to proliferate indefinitely, theoretically speaking, with their terrifying reproductive capabilities, they will basically age and die in a short period of time, which is equivalent to a cure.
AIDS."
Liu Yuan discussed with the seeds in his mind. In fact, what Liu Yuan hopes now is to have time to use the advanced laboratories in the seeds to conduct various experiments.
Although he has only begun to learn some of the advanced technologies in the seeds, Liu Yuan has already benefited a lot from them and gained a lot of inspiration. He can't wait to conduct some experiments now to confirm some of his conjectures.
"Your idea is very correct. The reason why cancer cells are terrible is largely because they have the ability to proliferate indefinitely. If we use genetic technology to interfere with the genes of cancer cells and make them lose their ability to proliferate indefinitely, it can indeed be done.
Cure cancer.”
In his mind, Zi Zi affirmed Liu Yuan's idea.
"Right, I'll just say it~"
"This gene determines everything. Cancer cells reproduce extremely fast and have the characteristics of unlimited proliferation and uncontrolled division. Cancer can be easily cured by interfering with its genes using genetic technology."
After receiving the affirmation, Liu Yuan became happy.
"But how do you interfere with the reproduction of cancer cells and copy genes?"
"this?"
When Liu Yuan heard this, he immediately fell into deep thought again.
Gene intervention, which can also be called genetic intervention, is to use a specific method to inhibit the expression of a certain gene, or to achieve some goals by destroying the genetic mechanism so that it loses certain functions.
For example, in agriculture, it is very common to interfere with the reproductive genes of crop seeds and prevent them from reproducing. Therefore, farmers have no way to save their own seeds and can only continue to purchase high-priced seeds from seed companies.
This is a kind of genetic intervention technology, the purpose is to continuously sell seeds to obtain a steady stream of high profits, or to control the ownership of certain crops.
The method adopted is to use antisense nucleic acid, ribozyme or interfering RNA and other technologies to inhibit gene expression.
"Scientists on your planet also want to use this method to treat cancer and tumors. Although they have achieved certain results, the technology is still in its infancy and is a very superficial stage."
"In the field of genetic technology, your technology on Earth has just begun. The mysteries of life are as deep as the mysteries of the universe."
"In fact, this cancer cell has the characteristic of unlimited proliferation, which is very miraculous. This means that theoretically, it has the possibility of immortality."
"If cancer cells can be studied to a certain level, you people on earth may be able to start making primary genetic optimization fluid to increase the life span of you people on earth."
“It seems like it’s really okay~”
Liu Yuan was constantly communicating with the seeds in his mind, discussing cancer cells and life.
"The most important thing that determines lifespan is genes. Normal cells divide a certain number of times. Human cells can only divide 50-60 times in a lifetime, which means that lifespan is limited."
"The average lifespan of you Earthlings is not even one hundred years. This is an extremely short period of time. Of course, in the universe, for a civilization that is still in the stage of civilization on its home star, your lifespan is considered acceptable.
of."
"There are some civilizations in the universe whose average lifespan may not even be ten years if converted to your earth's time. However, this type of civilization usually has extremely powerful learning and creative abilities. In a very short period of time, science and technology have advanced.
There could be a big outbreak."
"But because the lifespan is too short, when technology develops to a certain level, facing increasingly large and vast knowledge, not having enough lifespan is obviously not enough."
"In any powerful cosmic civilization, the average life span of its citizens is very high."
"How tall? Can you live a thousand years, or ten thousand years?"
When Liu Yuan heard this, he also asked curiously.
"One thousand or ten thousand years may be an extremely long time for you people on earth, but for the universe, it is just a short moment. You will understand later."
The seeds pretend to be profound.
"Don't say pull me down~"
"Can you think of a way to help me get some experimental materials back?"
"With my knowledge of optical theory, I can't do it without hands-on experiments."
Liu Yuan thought for a while and asked. He was locked up in the school every day and couldn't go anywhere. He couldn't even disappear from everyone's sight.
If you want to do this experiment, you can only do it at night, wait until everyone is asleep, and then go to the seed space to do the experiment.
"No problem, it's all trivial~"
"You need those experimental materials. No matter what, I can easily get you anything on earth."
Seed said very domineeringly, not taking the powerful technologies of various countries on the earth into his eyes at all.
"Bring some of the various bacteria, viruses, etc. back. As for the other things, they are all in your space."
Liu Yuan thought for a while and ordered.
"No problem, I'll do it all for you tonight."
"Awesome~"
"By the way, can these cancer cells really live forever?"
"Theoretically speaking, it does have the characteristics of immortality. It can divide infinitely and proliferate infinitely. To use what someone on your planet has said, cancer cells are actually here to make you immortal, but you can't provide it with enough.
energy, but died as a result.”
