The train going north rumbles. In the era of green wagons, there were always crying children, tired travelers, and long journeys on board.
Returning from his aunt's house in Guijun, Zhang Cundao was holding a large bag of local specialties and was waiting to get on the train on the platform. There was a group of prospective college students with his parents around him. It was now the peak time for back-to-school, and the new year was about to begin.
College students are also looking forward to their future college life.
The train stopped slowly, and the conductor stood at the door, checking tickets to let passengers get on the train. At this moment, the woman in front of Zhang Cundao suddenly tilted, as if she had been hit by someone else. She lost her balance and fell backward!
Seeing this scene, Zhang Cundao immediately stepped forward and supported the woman with quick eyes and hands.
It wasn't the soft jade in her arms that she imagined. Zhang Cundao's foot touched hers. This touch didn't feel like flesh, but rather like an iron rod?
Zhang Cundao took a surprised look and saw a flash of silver on the girl's left leg. This... looked like a prosthetic leg for a disabled athlete?
"No...no...I'm sorry." Mo Xiaoqian struggled violently in her arms, and her parents quickly came over to help her. However, there seemed to be something wrong with her prosthetic leg, and it refused to move.
And her parents were also carrying large and small bags at this time, and they couldn't put the things in their hands or put them away.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Cundao's sympathy gradually arose. He smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll carry you up." After he finished speaking, he bent down and hugged Mo Xiaoqian in his arms. His arms passed through Mo Xiaoqian.
Xiaoqian bent her legs, hugged her shoulders with her other hand, and then lifted her ninety-pound body up with all her strength.
Mo Xiaoqian was stunned when she was picked up by a strange man. This was the first time in her life that she was so close to a man other than her father!
Her parents were also stunned at this time, then looked at the tall Zhang Cundao, and finally forced out a smile and said: "Young man, thank you very much."
Their seats were not far apart. Zhang Cundao first put down Mo Xiaoqian, who was brain-burning and down, and then helped her parents put away the gifts before returning to his seat and putting away his own gifts.
After doing this, he sat in his seat in a daze as if nothing had happened. The train started moving slowly at this time.
After a while, a man came over. He held a bag of lychees in his hand, and then smiled and said to Zhang Cundao: "Young man, thank you very much just now. These are the lychees grown at home. Take it and try it."
The person who came was Mo Xiaoqian's father. He came to thank Zhang Cundao for his help. Zhang Cundao stood up quickly and said, "Uncle, you are too polite. It's just a small effort."
The uncle smiled cautiously, then placed the lychee in his hand next to Zhang Cundao, and then said to Zhang Cundao: "Is the young man from Zijin University?"
Zhang Cundao was stunned for a moment, and then the uncle pointed at the clothes on his body. The clothes he wore were a sports vest with 'Zijin University' printed on it. He felt a little hot from the activity just now, so he took off his coat, revealing this
A vest.
Zhang Cundao nodded and said, "Yes, I am a sophomore student at Zijin University." The brand name of Zijin University is still very loud in China.
Sure enough, after hearing Zhang Cundao's words, the uncle's face became more harmonious. He smiled and said: "My daughter is also a student of Zijin University, studying automation." His tone was very proud, which is indeed true in this era.
, it is a great thing to have a college student in your family, let alone a first-class prestigious school like Zijin University.
"It turns out she's a school girl." Zhang Cundao was also a little surprised. His eyes couldn't help but look towards Mo Xiaoqian's position, and then he met Mo Xiaoqian's eyes as she peeked over.
Mo Xiaoqian's face turned red when she was discovered, and she immediately turned around and hid, not daring to look over at all.
The uncle was a talkative person. After chatting with Zhang Cundao, he basically understood Zhang Cundao's background. He ended the chat with Zhang Cundao happily, then returned to his seat and began to exchange information with his family in a low voice.
During the rest of the journey, Zhang Cundao received frequent looks from Mo Xiaoqian's family. During this period, he was fed fruits three times, glutinous rice cake twice, a bucket of instant noodles, and a bottle of Camellia Mountain mineral water.
This made Zhang Cundao very embarrassed, so he also gave some local specialties from Guijun as a gift. However, Mo Xiaoqian's family is from Guijun, so giving back their own local specialties was really a bit of a straight man's behavior. But it was also because
In this way, Zhang Cundao was evaluated as "honest and honest" in the hearts of his family.
This is how human relations are established. As we share more with each other, the friendship is naturally established. Then Zhang Cundao also learned some information about Mo Xiaoqian.
She is a true academic. When she was in high school, she won a national invention and creation award. At a young age, she had several personal patents in her hands. However, she suffered from congenital muscular atrophy and her left foot was already damaged.
She has completely lost her mobility, and now uses mechanical prosthetics to assist her movements.
Hearing this, Zhang Cundao felt very sad. His grades were average, and he entered Zijin University as a sports student because of his parents. He was born with strong hands and feet, and was somewhat talented in sports. Compared with Mo Xiaoqian,
, he is the kind of person with well-developed limbs and simple mind...
But people like Mo Xiaoqian, who are gifted with talents, have to suffer from diseases and are born with disabilities.
The long sky is so thin! It can never be perfect.
When they arrived in Zijin City, Mo Xiaoqian's mechanical prosthesis was still not repaired (?), so Zhang Cundao carried her off the train again. Then he helped her go through the admission procedures and carried her to the student dormitory. Thanks to Zhang Cundao being a physical education student, he had good health
The quality is good, otherwise you will definitely be exhausted!
The next day, physical education student Zhang Cundao was doing his routine running. When he had just finished running one thousand meters to warm up, he saw Mo Xiaoqian waiting for him with breakfast in the morning light.
He was stunned for a moment, then walked up to her and asked, "Senior sister, what are you doing here?"
Mo Xiaoqian said with a smile: "I went to the cafeteria, and then I thought that the senior might not have eaten breakfast, so I brought one to the senior."
Zhang Cundao was stunned again. He looked at the canteen, which was not on the way, and then said, "The canteen is too far away and it's inconvenient for you. How can I be embarrassed?"
Mo Xiaoqian smiled, raised her left leg and said: "I have a mechanical leg, which actually takes less effort than yours to walk, and more exercise is also good for me. Look at this early morning at the university, the air is really good
.”
Zhang Cundao admired her confidence and indifference very much. Zhang Cundao shook his head and said, "Let's go, let's find a place to have breakfast."
In the following days, Mo Xiaoqian would bring him a breakfast, and then half a year later, it was Zhang Cundao who would bring her a breakfast. Because she had already entered the tutor's research group and no longer had time to bring breakfast to Zhang Cundao.
Got it!
This is what academic masters are like. Others are just adapting to college life in their first year, but she entered the tutor's research group in her first year, which is probably a guarantee for graduate school.
Under the influence of Mo Xiaoqian, Zhang Cundao also began to have a strong interest in automation and biological sciences. There is no way, a real academic master can cultivate a scumbag into a talented person, and Mo Xiaoqian has this ability and patience.
Gradually, under the guidance of Mo Xiaoqian, Zhang Cundao's interests turned to biological sciences. In his junior year, he even began to take the postgraduate entrance examination to study under a certain biology master in the school.
It is not unique to say that a physical education student turned into a science graduate student, but it is also very explosive. I have heard of science students who are good at sports, but I have never heard of physical education students who are good at science!
These changes made Zhang's father and Zhang's mother secretly hide in the room and cry. Finally, the old Zhang family's high-minded character was preserved!
In his second year of graduate school, Zhang Cundao took advantage of the release of the international human genome and published his first academic paper, "A Simple Discussion of Certain Gene Compilations." Although this humble paper was only published in second-class domestic journals,
But this is a big step in Zhang Cundao's life. Because his girlfriend Mo Xiaoqian started out at the level of first-class domestic and top foreign journals.
From that time on, the two became laboratory lovers, daters in the cafeteria, writing love letters in journals, and discussing relationships in papers. They spent most of their time in the laboratory, and occasionally they would just meet up for a meal in the cafeteria when they were free.
The surprise for the other party is to show the other party the journal that published your paper. The biggest argument is to argue for the sake of academics.
Will they have feelings?
There should be some. In genetic compilation, in millions of base pairs, Zhang Cundao can write "Mo Xiaoqian I love you".
In the automated program, when the system is running smoothly, there will also be "Zhang Cundao, I love you too".
If this is hidden in the base pairs and program groups, it is the greatest romance between the two.
It wasn't until the age of 29 that Mo Xiaoqian fell again. But this time, the news of her fall was like a bolt from the blue.
Her muscle atrophy has reached her waist, and she has been determined to be hemiplegic. Even with mechanical prostheses, she will most likely never stand up again. After hearing the news, Zhang Cundao stayed in the laboratory in silence for two days.
The long sky is so thin. It always wants to give you a knife when you are at your sweetest.
Moreover, as Mo Xiaoqian ages, the rate of muscle atrophy will become faster and faster. This is not just a hemiplegia problem, but a life-threatening problem.
From that day on, Zhang Cundao began to study the technique of 'resurrecting the dead'. He wanted to 'resurrect' the muscles in Mo Xiaoqian's body so that she could stand up again.
At least, let her save her life!
A year later, Zhang Cundao accidentally cracked the expression of a group of proteases. This group of proteases can promote the secretion of melanin in the body. If the production of this protease is inhibited, the production of melanin can be inhibited.
Relying on this discovery, Zhang Cundao invented two medicines. One is a 'blackening medicine' that can treat albinism, and the other is a 'whitening medicine' that can whiten people. The former allowed him to benefit patients with albinism and made him have countless merits. The latter
Let him earn a lot of money and become a rich man.
With fame and money, Zhang Cundao can attract more talents and invest more resources in scientific research.
But none of this changed Mo Xiaoqian's current situation.
Three years later, Zhang Cundao, Mo Xiaoqian and their joint laboratory made a major breakthrough. They developed a technology that can 'print' the human body!
Yes, Zhang Cundao did not find a way to 'resurrect' the body, but he and Mo Xiaoqian teamed up to find a way to 'replace' the body. If the atrophied muscles no longer work, then re-install new ones.
Wouldn't it be enough to just use the muscles?
This is not a transplant surgery, but the use of nano and gene editing technology to compile 'nano muscle cells'. These nano muscle cells can gather to form various tissues and muscles under human control. Because this is using their own gene editing and transformation
, so there will be no rejection reaction, and then only an automated system is needed to assist in controlling the nano-cells, so that the newly grown body can be like a real body!
This is a bit like the '3D printing technology' that was popular back then, except that the printing material becomes nano-cells.
Such technological breakthroughs made Zhang Cundao ecstatic. He immediately conducted experiments to improve and verify this technology.
It was great at first. On the monkey, the printed arm was perfect. The monkey could use the new arm to make any action it wanted. Just when Zhang Cundao thought his technology had matured.
However, the monkey's arm has undergone a mutation. After a period of fusion, the newly implanted arm will be affected by the brain's nerve signals and mutate, growing more weird protrusions, becoming extremely ugly, and eventually...
Tangled together like branches.
Nanocells are essentially cells rather than machines. As cells, they have the possibility of self-proliferation and will produce changes. If this technology was not urgently needed for Mo Xiaoqian, Zhang Cundao would happily continue to study it and might spend more time
It will take ten or twenty years to perfect this technology and benefit all disabled people in the future.
But time waits for no one. Mo Xiaoqian's body is getting worse day by day. When the muscles atrophy to her chest and lungs, she even loses the ability to breathe on her own!
She doesn't have ten or twenty years to wait, she doesn't even have one year to wait!
Mo Xiaoqian held Zhang Cundao who was crying in her arms. She smiled and said, "My senior, don't be sad. Xiaoqian's life has been worth it."
"The doctor said that with this disease, I may not live to be 20 years old. I am not willing to accept it, but I am a little resigned to it. If you can't live, just live it. Life is so fast. There is no difference between 20 and 80. I will try my best to live my 20 years.
Years later, don’t leave any regrets to yourself.”
She smiled softly and touched Zhang Cundao's head. Then she continued: "It wasn't until I was 18 that year that I saw you at the train station... It was like destiny. The moment I saw you, I
It fell!"
"I have been the happiest in these years with you. I am so happy that I have forgotten the deadline of 20 years old. I will live to be 35 years old! Why should I be dissatisfied? I have earned these 15 years for nothing.
Your 15 years.”
"Senior, you know, I am so happy. When I was young, I had a father and a mother who would never leave me. When I grow up, I will have you who will never leave me. My life, although short, is definitely luckier and more exciting than most.
.”
"Don't be sad after I die. Because I am lucky, I am happy, and I love you!"
