Chapter 80 Evolutionary Engineering Bacteria, the Professor Was Shocked

Chen Mu gradually summarized the patterns and slowly discovered the principles behind explosive attributes.

It seems that quite a few have been found that conform to rigorous scientific principles.

"Li Cixue saw that your grades far surpassed hers, so she added two thousand negative emotions to her mood."

"Xu Zihan saw that your bacteria were white and thick, and her negative emotion value increased by 2,200."

Students at the High School Affiliated to National Taiwan Normal University expressed a lot of negative emotions.

These students are extremely competitive and very confident.

Now that he has found himself being thoroughly thrashed, he is naturally feeling down.

Moreover, it wasn't just their own; the bacteria in the entire county group were growing well, with their numbers skyrocketing, which was an advantage for the overall results.

Then, Chen Mu walked into the crowd.

Picking up his own culture bottle, he saw that the contents were now clearly grayish-white, and in terms of quantity, he had already surpassed Li Cixue, the top student at the High School Affiliated to the Normal University.

Seeing Li Cixue looking over, Chen Mu seized the opportunity: "Stop looking! My bacteria have already been cultured; they'll be the best in the entire lab!"

Chen Mu deliberately spoke loudly, drawing the attention and dissatisfaction of the High School Affiliated to National Taiwan Normal University.

"So arrogant?" The people from the Affiliated Senior High School of National Taiwan Normal University sneered. We don't mock you because we have good manners, but you're mocking us instead.

"What makes you think yours is the best?" Li Cixue laughed. Her mycelium was the first to appear. "Who knows, maybe your mycelium will die later, and I'll overtake you again!"

"No matter what, once an authoritative person comes to the lab, they'll know at a glance that my engineered bacteria have evolved!" Chen Mu said.

"Evolution?" Everyone was shocked. Everyone knew very well what the word "evolution" meant in a biological laboratory.

How do these engineered bacteria come about? They don't evolve naturally; they are generally created through various genetic modifications. First, the designed genes are obtained, then introduced, and finally precisely edited.

After continuous screening, engineered bacteria were finally successfully produced.

The idea that nature can help an organism evolve is just ridiculous.

And you succeeded on your very first try?

What a joke, what a huge joke!

The more knowledgeable you are about biology, the more you'll find this statement to be an exaggeration.

The bacteria you're cultivating have evolved. Do you know what you're talking about?

Zhou Qingchuan was the most terrified because she knew that if there really was a way to make engineered bacteria evolve, it would be possible to publish papers and get published in journals.

In academia, success and fame are achieved by publishing papers in journals.

Let me put it this way: if you can publish one article in one of the three top journals, you'll be set for life. Universities will treat you like royalty, and even getting on the news won't be difficult.

Of course, this kind of achievement would never be published in a top journal.

However, publishing a paper, even in a minor journal, is a life-changing achievement for many scholars, something they can boast about for half their lives.

Zhou Qingchuan chose to come over and take a look under the microscope. There were indeed living engineered bacteria, and they had a special and unique appearance.

Could it be that...?

Has it really evolved? It's so monstrous!

If you're unsure, quickly find Li Yan to come and take a look.

Li Yan was completely bewildered: "You mean, the engineered bacteria he cultivated evolved? Today isn't April Fool's Day!"

"I'm not sure either, that's why I asked you to take a look. His culture medium is completely different. What if it's wrong? I don't dare to go directly to the professor. It would be embarrassing if there was a misunderstanding," Zhou Qingchuan said, after all, Li Yan was considered the most authoritative graduate student.

The SCI publications they've published, while somewhat lacking in quality, are relative to the top researchers. In this school, they're already among the elite.

"That's right. The professor is working on a new type of eye drops. We shouldn't disturb him until we've confirmed it. I'll go take a look first." Li Yan followed. If he didn't know that Chen Mu was indeed skilled, he would have just laughed at this and wouldn't have needed to go and take a look at it at all.

At this time, the E. coli beast raised by Chen Mu had already reproduced for many generations.

The number began to increase, and the mycelium became visible to the naked eye.

After reading it, Li Yan fainted.

Something's not right, they definitely look different now.

She is very energetic, and her appearance and figure are different from the original No. 10. If the original No. 10 had her supreme bone extracted, now she has been upgraded to become a saint and ancestor.

Has Bacterium No. 10 transformed into Bacterium Shihao? It's undergone a crazy upgrade and is poised to dominate the ages?

This didn't make sense, and Li Yan panicked.

He said, "Protect the germs!"

Then they rushed straight to Professor Li's laboratory, even if it meant interrupting his work.

In the top-tier laboratory, Professor Jiang Wenxu, as the vice dean of the Department of Biology, is working with a group of professors and doctoral supervisors to continue tackling the technical challenges of developing a new type of fibroblast growth factor eye drops.

"Modern people today, whether at work or at home, spend a lot of time using their eyes for extended periods, having to stare at screens for far too long. If we can overcome this technology, it would be a boon to humanity!" Jiang Wenxu said.

"Yes, people use their eyes too frequently these days. They use them at work and when they relax after get off work. Their eyes are under too much strain!" another associate professor sighed.

At this moment, Li Yan appeared in a hurry, interrupting their conversation.

"Professor Jiang, come with me quickly, the engineered bacteria in the Yellow-branded laboratory have evolved," Li Yan said anxiously.

"So reckless, what kind of behavior is this... What did you say? The engineered bacteria have evolved?" Professor Jiang's expression changed drastically. "Wait a minute, how come it's a yellow-label laboratory?"

Isn't that for high school students?

"Yes, that's the lab, the one you mentioned a few days ago, that's where Chen Mu came up with it!" Li Yan said, panting.

"Don't get excited yet, let's go take a look together!" Professor Jiang said. The other associate professors in the laboratory, upon hearing such exciting news, naturally put down their work as well.

We need to see it for ourselves, to know that the biggest challenge in the project they are working on is engineering bacteria.

With three or four professors involved, Li Yan knew that if this was false, he would be in big trouble.

When these people make a move, the whole school trembles.

He quickly followed, explaining the situation as he went.

"What strain is he cultivating?" Professor Jiang asked, his steps quick and his heart pounding with tension and excitement, fearing that his hopes would be dashed.

"Number 10!"

"Number 10? How is that possible? It's exactly number 10?" Professor Jiang's eyes widened. Number 10 happens to be the most suitable strain for growth factors, but it has a low survival rate and is difficult to cultivate.

Using this strain of bacteria would be too costly and not worthwhile.

Now some people are saying that Bacterium 10 has evolved, which is hard to imagine, such a coincidence.

By the time the professors arrived, the students had already taken turns examining the microscope.

They all exclaimed in amazement, "The bacteria he cultivates really look different from ours, they're so big!"

"Yes, it's big and thick."

"What terrible lines, but if they're true, then it doesn't matter." Professor Jiang coughed, and everyone immediately looked at the professors.
