Chapter 230 Wang Wentao has a bold idea
In the study room, Lu Liang checked the number of source points in his system.
After informing Chen Shen of the results of the animal test, Chen Shen rushed to prepare for the clinical trial, with a more positive attitude than Lu Liang.
Lu Liang, who didn't have to worry about clinical trials, naturally had time. After he compiled all the data into a paper, he submitted it to Cell.
This paper also provided a source point for Lu Liang.
The number of source points in his system is now 10.2 source points.
This is the first time that the number of source points accumulated by Lu Liang has exceeded double digits.
However, this is still 10 source points short of the source point for redeeming the second parchment scroll.
You have to keep working hard.
Just as Lu Liang was thinking about these things, a ding-dong sound interrupted Lu Liang's thoughts. Lu Liang looked up and saw an email message in his mailbox.
Lu Liang opened his mailbox and found that it was an email from the editor of Cell.
Wang Wentao also heard the noise. He came over curiously and asked, Brother, has your article been accepted?
Lu Liang nodded. The Cell editor had already sent an email to notify him.
However, Lu Liang's expression did not change much, and this result was within his expectation.
On the contrary, Wang Wentao next to him looked a little emotional: This is the third article. When will I be able to publish one in a journal of this level?
Lu Liang joked: How about I give you one of my works so that you can enjoy it too?
That's different, okay.
Wang Wentao spread his hands and said: What I want is that one day I will be able to publish a paper on CNS based on my own research capabilities.
Having said this, Wang Wentao scratched his head, and then continued: Besides, I feel that I haven't actually done much here. It's quite embarrassing for me to rub against my senior brother's second work every day.
Lu Liang said with a strange expression: Then next time I'll hang up with someone else?
Don't! Wang Wentao trembled.
Lu Liang waved his hand: Okay, just kidding, we are from the same sect.
Wang Wentao breathed a sigh of relief, and then he said: By the way, senior brother, tell me, what kind of papers does CNS prefer to accept?
What, you want to challenge? Lu Liang looked at Wang Wentao, with a half-smile on his face.
Isn't this normal? Isn't the biggest dream of a researcher just to publish a paper of his own on CNS? Wang Wentao said.
Wang Wentao's statement is indeed correct. For most scholars, the highest achievement that they can achieve in their lives is to publish a paper on CNS.
As for the Nobel Prize and the like, that is something that most scientific researchers dare not even think about.
Lu Liang thought for a moment and then replied: The articles that CNS likes to receive are actually very simple. They either make breakthroughs in a certain field or fill a gap in a certain field.
After listening to Lu Liang's words, Wang Wentao pondered for two seconds and then asked: To put it simply, it is to do something that has never been done before, right?
Lu Liang thought about it carefully and felt that Wang Wentao was right. He nodded: That's pretty much what it means. It can be understood in this way.
After listening to Lu Liang's words, Wang Wentao showed a serious look on his face, and he said: Brother, if you say that, I won't be sleepy anymore.
What's wrong? Lu Liang asked in confusion.
Wang Wentao coughed, cleared his throat, and then said seriously: To be honest, senior brother, I have always had a bold idea.
Oh, what a bold idea? Lu Liang suddenly became curious.
Wang Wentao hesitated: However, let me explain in advance that my idea has nothing to do with our major.
Lu Liang waved his hand: It's okay. Let's talk about it first. Maybe there will be some sparks from the collision.
After all, interdisciplinary studies are now normal.
For example, the current popular AI can intersect with medicine.
Cell has published research in which scientists trained AI and used AI to screen 107 million molecules, and finally found the strongest broad-spectrum antibiotic called Halicin, which can deal with the most dangerous bacteria today.
Seeing what Lu Liangdu said, Wang Wentao became bolder: My idea is related to mosquitoes.
This made Lu Liang slightly surprised. This idea was quite novel.
However, it is true that there are not many people studying mosquitoes, and there is indeed a large gap in research in this area.
Moreover, many top journals have indeed published a lot of research on mosquitoes.
For example, Princeton University published a study saying that the reason why humans are attracted to mosquitoes is because the presence of decanal and undecanal in human sebum can excite mosquitoes.
Another example is a team of professors from Tsinghua University who also published a study in which they discovered some viruses that are transmitted by mosquitoes, such as malaria and dengue fever.
After infecting the host, these viruses will change the antibacterial proteins on the surface of the host's skin, affecting the host's skin microbial community, causing specific microorganisms to multiply and emit a specific odor, thereby attracting mosquitoes to bite.
Lu Liang asked with interest: Then.
After receiving Lu Liang's affirmation, Wang Wentao couldn't help but become excited. He continued: We can cultivate a special mosquito through hybridization.
Lu Liang raised his eyebrows. Wang Wentao's idea was worthy of recognition, because such a study had been reported.
Professor Xi's team at Sun Yat-sen University used radiation to cultivate male mosquitoes without the ability to reproduce, and then released these male mosquitoes to interfere with the mating of female mosquitoes, thereby achieving sterilization of mosquitoes.
So, what kind of mosquito do you want to breed? Lu Liang asked curiously.
Wang Wentao said excitedly: Brother, think about it, mosquitoes are not cold-tolerant and will disappear in winter. This is mainly related to the genes of mosquitoes.
So we tried to change the genes of mosquitoes and develop a cold-resistant mosquito, thus filling the gap when there are no mosquitoes in winter!
At that moment, the smile on Lu Liang's face suddenly froze.
In the winter, mosquitoes fly everywhere.
Just thinking about that scene made Lu Liang shiver uncontrollably.
What kind of devilish idea is this?
Wang Wentao did not notice the change in Lu Liang's expression. He said excitedly: Besides, senior brother, I have checked and no one has done a similar experiment so far. Such research should be published on CNS, right?
After saying that, Wang Wentao looked at Lu Liang and asked: Brother, what do you think of my idea?
Lu Liang was silent for a moment, then he patted Wang Wentao on the shoulder and said, It's a good idea. Promise me, don't think about it next time.
