When it comes to the Western Xia civilization falling into the hands of foreigners, many people may not understand it, but if they still remember Yu Qiuyu's article about the Mogao Grottoes and the Taoist Wang, many people will suddenly realize it.
The Mogao Grottoes are a pain in the hearts of all Chinese scholars, because all scholars who study Dunhuang studies need to go to foreign museums to check the murals and information about the Mogao Grottoes.
The reason is that the country at that time did not pay attention to the culture of Mogao Grottoes, and the black city culture of Xixia was the same.
The Russians used a few silver coins, even a glass, and a telescope to obtain a license to excavate the Black City. The carriages took away piles of documents in the desert.
This is a huge shame for scholars who study Xixia studies. It is with this shame that these scholars devote themselves to research day and night. So what if the documents are taken away, the culture is still not there.
will disappear.
Therefore, this was later recognized by foreign scholars at the International Association: Dunhuang Studies in China.
Scholars of Dunhuang studies restored the country's reputation, and so did researchers of Xixia culture. They conducted a thorough investigation of the Black City, and just six years ago, they seemed to have made some major discovery.
Because of this discovery, Ling Yao's father became a member of the expedition team and went into the desert to inspect the Black City ruins.
"I remember, that time my dad was away for half a year, and he only made one phone call during that time." Ling Yao also remembered that that was the longest time her father had been away from home.
"Yes, your father has been away for half a year, and when he came back, he suddenly started calling us and said that he was going to conduct a research project, and told us excitedly that if this research project is successful, it will be a breakthrough in biology.
A huge leap forward is likely to change the entire society."
Uncle Bo nodded and continued: "At that time, there were a total of thirteen people in the entire project team. Except for Li Hailiang and the other four who were our students, the remaining seven were all top experts in the biological world."
"And the project we were studying at the time was actually very simple, that is, extracting a special seed from something. Yes, your father called this kind of thing a seed, so the name of the project was also called: Replication
seed."
"Copy seeds?"
Fang Ming frowned, and Ling Yao on the side was even more confused, "Why is it called a seed? What are the effects of this seed?"
"This seed does exactly what its name suggests: replicates."
Uncle Bo's expression became a little excited, "When I saw the efficacy of this replicating seed for the first time, do you know how excited I was, because if we really extract it successfully, it will not only be a breakthrough in biology
, but truly rewrite the entire human society.”
"But it is a pity that I have only seen this replicating seed once, because there is only such a seed in the entire project department, and it is kept by your father personally, and the object of our research is the ontology copied from this seed. We will
It's called Seed 1."
"We dropped Seed 1 on a mouse, and finally succeeded in replicating an identical mouse, but unfortunately, the mouse died within an hour."
For scientific researchers like Uncle Bo, the death of a mouse is nothing. As long as they successfully clone a mouse, it means that their research is feasible and in the right direction. As for the reason for the death of the mouse, as time goes by,
The in-depth research they do can definitely unravel it.
In fact, this is indeed the case. They used white rats as experiments. The white rats originally only lived for one hour, but then they could live for two hours...three hours...a day, or even half a month...
"In six years, most of the progress of the project has been achieved. Just when we were all excited, your father suddenly made a decision to stop the research of the project first. After making this decision, your father disappeared.
It wasn’t until half a month later that I returned to the project team again.”
"After your father came back, he directly said that the project was cancelled, and that he would no longer continue the research. Many people in the project team were opposed to it at that time. We have worked hard for six years, and now we are seeing the research reaching its final moment. Once successful, it will go down in history.
, who would be willing to give up this opportunity."
When Ling Yao heard this, she suddenly said: "Uncle Bo, you should be one of the people who oppose my father giving up."
With a wry smile on his face, Uncle Bo nodded and admitted, "No one in the entire project team supports your father's decision. Although your father is the initiator of the project, this project is the joint effort of everyone, not your father alone.
Just stop when you say stop.”
Ling Yao didn't say anything and signaled Uncle Bo to continue talking.
"You know what happened later. Your father suddenly disappeared. However, before he disappeared, he took away the replicating seeds in the laboratory and destroyed all the experimental materials. It can be said that the entire project was caused by your father's actions.
, it’s useless even if we don’t disband.”
Uncle Bo spread his hands, "Originally, my heart was full of anger towards your father's actions, but a week ago, when I found that many people were targeting me, and even many outside forces, I
I know why your father did this, he was afraid that the seeds would fall into the hands of someone with ulterior motives."
"After these days of investigation, I found out that our project team was targeted by some forces several years ago. Your father probably discovered this, so he decisively terminated the project research and destroyed it.
Data, so that other people on the project team will not be in danger."
When he said this, Uncle Bo had a look of admiration on his face, "Your father has shouldered all the dangers by himself."
"I guess it wasn't that your father didn't want to inform you when he disappeared, but that you were under surveillance at that time, so he couldn't tell you openly. But if you think about it carefully, did your father stay with you?
Any special words or things, except that geographical magazine."
"Let me think about it..."
Ling Yao fell into thinking. After a while, her eyes lit up and she seemed to have thought of something. She was about to speak, but at this moment, Fang Ming started coughing.
Cough cough cough...
Fang Ming's cough interrupted what Ling Yao was about to say. Uncle Bo glanced at Fang Ming and couldn't wait to ask Ling Yao: "Yao Yao, have you thought of something? Say it quickly. You and I
Let’s refer to it together to see if it’s a clue left by your father.”
