Chapter 66 Academicians Gather
Xie Hong and Xu Zeming finished their meals as quickly as possible and arrived at the laboratory ten minutes early.
They looked at the timer, and at exactly one hour, they took water samples and conducted a series of physical and chemical analyses.
The most obvious result of this one-hour desalination is that a large number of particles, colloids, and microorganisms in the water sample were adsorbed and removed, and the turbidity of the water began to decrease.
However, the decrease in the content of soluble mineral salts, amino acids, sugars and other components in the water sample was not very obvious, but this was only the first hour.
The description in the information also emphasized that the degree of fading in the first few hours was not high.
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, they took samples for the second time and found that the proportion of salt reduction in the water samples had greatly increased.
At this time, Xiao Li ran into the laboratory with an insulated box.
He panted and said: "Mr. Xie, Suo Xu, this is another sample that was sent over urgently."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Xiao Li."
Xu Zeming quickly took the thermos box.
After opening it, he found some dry ice inside.
He immediately put on thick rope gloves and carefully took out the two tubes of Actinobacterium neuralis and a large bottle of lb culture medium inside.
Xie Hong looked at the two tubes of bacterial solution with bright eyes, "It needs to be activated for two hours first, Xiao Xu, I will do it."
"Well, Mr. Xie, it's up to me to do this. It needs to be done in a fume hood and there are certain risks."
Xu Zeming was worried that if a little bacterial fluid was accidentally leaked, the boss would fall into a coma, and the people from the Hua Security Bureau would probably explode.
In fact, such worries are completely unnecessary. There is a safe dose of Actinomyces neuroergiensis, and it will not cause coma if exposed to a small amount.
The Actinomyces neuroerugis placed in the anti-theft system by Zhang Chen has been concentrated and has a higher concentration than the original strain. Therefore, just a slight contact can cause people to fall into coma immediately.
There is no need to be merciful to gangsters.
Xie Hong nodded helplessly, he also knew that this was no joke.
Xu Zeming put on his goggles and visor, took the sample and put it in the fume hood.
As required, he mixed the original bacterial solution and the lb culture medium sent by Zhang Chen at a ratio of 1:500, and then placed it in a shaker for shaking culture at a constant temperature of 37 degrees Celsius.
It is specifically stated in the information that only the culture medium delivered can be used to culture Actinobacterium neuralis.
"Okay, let's wait two hours, and then we can do experiments on mice to see the effect."
Xu Zeming took off his visor and goggles, disinfected his hands repeatedly with 75% alcohol, then took off his gloves and threw them into the special trash can for medical waste.
"This Zhang Chen is quite aware of precautions. He specially prepared a culture medium. I guess the patent has not yet been applied for, and he is afraid that the bacterial liquid will spread."
Xie Hong was in a good mood when he saw that the experiment went well.
"Well, the young man is very promising. We can find ways to speed up the review of his patent."
Xie Hong puffed his beard and glared, "You don't have to say that, you can't think of a way, then let me do it. We plants are eager to get close to such a talent. Sargasso green algae is a miracle in the plant world!"
"Well, Mr. Xie, this is the talent we discovered first."
"Aren't you afraid of trouble? Are you still trying to find a way to advance the patent application process? If it were me, I would just risk this old face and ask them to immediately apply for patents on Sargasso Chlorella and Actinobacteria Neurochonellae."
"Mr. Xie, you are still the same, but don't worry, we will do our best to help him. You don't have to worry about this at all."
Xu Zeming sweated profusely. This old academician was famous for his short temper.
"So much the better."
Xie Hong's expression improved and he continued: "It's almost an hour again. Let's go get a water sample for testing."
Several people returned to the laboratory where Sargasso green algae was cultivated and waited an hour before taking water samples for testing again.
"The changes in the results this time are obvious. Particulate matter, colloids and microorganisms are basically adsorbed, and the reduction ratio of salt and other components in the water sample has increased again. Judging from the results of these three tests, it is indeed an exponential growth trend."
Xu Zeming looked at the final test report and said excitedly.
"This shows that Sargassum green algae can really desalinate seawater. Our experimental data are exactly as described in the data. It's amazing. This is a miracle of biology!"
Xie Hong showed no restraint and his excitement was beyond words.
He has studied plants all his life, but never thought that plants could be used to desalinate seawater.
This seemed impossible to him, but now that the facts were before his eyes, he couldn't help but not believe it.
He speculated that Sargasso green algae can absorb salt in seawater, which may be related to the characteristics of halophytes. This aspect can be achieved through genetic engineering.
But how is the purification of other ingredients achieved?
There are too many problems here that he can't figure out now.
Xie Hong couldn't wait to start detailed research on Sargassum green algae now. He wanted to understand it all.
Xu Zeming said at this time: “Mr.
"Well, call everyone in the capital over. By the way, let Lao Bei make a trip too."
Xie Hong nodded in agreement.
Xu Zeming said seriously: "Okay, Xiao Li, go and say hello to the Hua Security Bureau again. This time, ask them to invite all the academicians from the biological world over. You can pick up Mr. Bei personally."
"Okay, Xu Suo."
Xiao Li received the order, turned around and left.
"Come on, let's test these three water samples again."
"Well, Mr. Xie, it has been tested twice, and each test was repeated six times. Aren't you worried about the results like this?"
"Just in case, why are you becoming more and more unreliable now? I think you relied on your rigor to grow to where you are now. Have you forgotten your roots when you became the director?
"
Xu Zeming was silent again and began to conduct experiments without saying a word.
.........
With Xu Zeming's light words, the whole capital began to become agitated.
The Hua Security Bureau first asked for instructions from above, and after receiving approval, it directly mobilized a large number of special police officers to strengthen the security force of the Biophysics Institute.
This is only on the surface, the security force behind the scenes is even more shocking.
Relevant forces began to pay close attention to the airspace of the Institute of Biophysics, and the flow of people near the institute suddenly increased. They were all plainclothes special forces.
All the academicians were transported by special armored vehicles, and the level of protection for these pillars of the country was not excessive at all.
Moreover, this time it can be said that all the big names in the biological world of the capital have been gathered at the Institute of Biophysics. If something unexpected happens, the biological world of China will be over.
Xu Zeming and Xie Hong had already been waiting in a conference room with the results of three tests.
They chatted all over the place with the academicians who arrived one after another.
