Chapter 12 Dr. Connors
Following Gwen Stansey's footsteps, everyone came to Dr. Connors' laboratory. To tell the truth, Li Jie didn't have a problem with these things at all, and he couldn't understand all kinds of experimental instruments at all.
But seeing Peter and the others looking very interested and surprised, Li Jie could only be ignorant. The only thing that interests Li Jie is a holographic projection device in the center of the laboratory, which can directly project into the air without using a screen or background.
This thing has only been seen in movies in the past life, and even in this world, it has only been seen on TV. This thing seems to be very expensive. Only laboratories affiliated with large companies like the Osborn Group have the money to equip them. Li Jie was visiting this projection equipment with everyone. Others were watching various data and DNA maps projected by the equipment. Li Jie was simply sighing at the black technology of this equipment.
"Welcome everyone." A gentle male voice caught everyone's attention. A middle-aged man with glasses and a gentle appearance came to everyone. In addition to his gentle and bookish temperament, the most eye-catching thing about this man was his empty right arm. "I'm Dr. Curtis Connors, and in case you're surprised, I want to remind you that I'm left-handed."
Dr. Connors made a self-deprecating joke about his missing right arm. "I'm not a disabled person, but a scientist. In the field of genetics and herpetology second to none." Dr. Connors said here confidently. "First of all, let me explain the relationship between genetics and herpetology. Everyone knows that people are born with weaknesses. We will be knocked down by various diseases and accidents. For example, Parkinson's patients can only look helpless and helpless. Seeing their own body not obeying every day, for example, a patient with severe macular eye disease can only hopelessly watch their world sink into darkness day by day. And some people, such as me, lost a part of their body due to various accidents. "
Having said that, Dr. Connors adjusted his tone and continued. "I hope to heal myself, and I hope to create a world without weaknesses. Take a small test, does anyone know how to achieve this goal?" Dr. Connors asked the intern who was present in a slightly challenging tone. students.
"Stem cell embryo technology!" Someone immediately replied at the scene. "Well, it's close. But it's not perfect, do you have any other ideas?" Connors praised, but obviously did not agree with this answer. The scene was silent for a while. Dr. Connors' subject was very deep, and it was completely beyond the understanding of these high school students present.
"I think cross-species genetics should be useful." Peter Parker said in a slightly uncertain tone, and everyone in the room turned their attention to him. "Like?" Dr. Connors continued to ask Peter Parker with a smile on his lips. "For example, Parkinson's disease is produced because human stem cells stop the secretion of dopamine, but the DNA of black zebrafish can replace the function of stem cells to secrete dopamine. If the patient can obtain this part of the DNA of black zebrafish, then I will If you think about the patient, you can be cured." Peter stuttered a little at first, but when he started to really explain, the whole person immediately became very focused.
Dr. Connors watched Peter's smile become more pronounced. Gwen Stansey looked at Peter's eyes brighter and brighter, and seemed attracted by Peter's focused expression. "Who are you?" Dr. Connors asked without hiding his smile.
"Peter~ My name is Peter Parker, Dr. Connors." Peter introduced himself to Dr. Connors excitedly. "According to Harry, he was also the brightest student at Metropolitan High School." Gwen Stansey also assisted Peter with an assist, impressing Peter with Dr. Connors.
The rest of the time, Dr. Connors let Gwen take the summer interns to familiarize themselves with the situation in the laboratory and began to assign tasks to everyone. As a visitor, Li Jie could only lean aside and chat with Harry.
"The old men in the company don't obey me." Harry's tone was a little angry. During this time, he was very troubled with taking over the management of the company. "They seem to have forgotten that this group is called the Osborne Group, and I am Harry Osborn!" "It's normal, the old stubborn people with their hard-headed minds always think that their choice is the right one." Li Jie leaned against the aisle On the railing, looking at the busy people in the laboratory and said. "A young guy under twenty years old just stands on their heads, and they will be very unwilling. Think of Tony Stark! This is the president who has appeared in entertainment newspapers more than business newspapers. Back then He was only forced to take over Stark Industries in his twenties, and look at the scale of Stark Industries now! This is a level that Old Howard Stark has never reached."
"Old people always like to be nostalgic, and they deny the creativity of young people. They just want to continue to rot in the hotbed of their own rights. So Harry, don't be polite to them." Li Jie adjusted the posture of the backrest and continued. "As long as Uncle Norman is alive, they won't make it. You should use Uncle Norman's prestige and power! Don't think about doing it yourself, let Uncle Norman pave the way for you! It's a big deal on the board of directors. Cards. Like you just said, this group is called the Osborne Group!"
Harry looked at Li Jie a little surprised, as if he was meeting him for the first time. "Jason is not kidding, I don't think you should be a chef. I'm serious about hiring you as my consultant right now." Harry's tone was serious. "How did you come up with this, I didn't find out at all before, so you have a talent for power struggles!"
Of course, he thinks too much when he is old, Li Jie secretly complained in his heart. After all, the two worlds are already decades old, and their thoughts are no longer comparable to those of a seventeen-year-old.
"Hi~Mr. Tim, good morning." Harry was chatting with Li Jie when he saw a black man walking in this direction, and immediately greeted him. "Hi Harry, good morning. Why didn't you come to the office in the morning?" asked the well-dressed black man who looked like an Osborne Group executive. "Oh~ I have a friend to join Dr. Connors' internship group today, and this is another friend of mine named Jason Lee, and I'm showing him around our company." Harry said and put Lee Jay introduced him to a black man named Tim.
"Hello, Mr. Tim." Li Jie took the lead and greeted Tim. "Hello Jason." Tim and Li Jie shook hands briefly, and then adjusted the topic back to Harry. "Harry has a meeting of the board of directors this afternoon, I hope you can be there. Otherwise, those shareholders will be sneering again." "Okay, I will be there on time in the afternoon." "Then that's it, Harry, I'm going to find Dr. Connors. Goodbye." After nodding to Harry and Li Jie, Tim walked quickly to Dr. Connors' laboratory, and brought Dr. Connors into the office as if he was going to talk about something important.
"Tim is the CEO of the company and the only person on the board who supports me," Harry whispered to Li Jie.
"What's the result?" Tim asked urgently after bringing Dr. Connors into the office. "I received the test feedback this morning, and the reaction of deglycosylated nucleic acid is still unsatisfactory, and it still forms an infinite loop." Dr. Connors said dryly. "That's to be expected."
"As expected?" Clearly Tim didn't think this was expected. "You said you are about to succeed!" "Yes, it is about to succeed. But it still takes time, the key is the decay rate algorithm. As long as the decay rate algorithm can be verified, I can quickly find a solution." Kang Dr. Nas argued. But obviously Tim doesn't care about these things, all he wants is a result. "Time? But we're running out of time! Norman Osborn is about to die!" If anyone outside knew what Tim said, he would guarantee that the Osborne Group's stock would fall so much that his mother didn't even know it tomorrow.
Tim could see Harry from a distance through the glass of Dr. Connors' office. "You need to save him, Dr. Connors. Otherwise we'll both be buried together." Tim said blankly. "And this matter should not be known by anyone. Not even Harry Osborn." After that, Tim walked out of Dr. Connors' room.
At noon Harry invited everyone to lunch at an upscale restaurant nearby, including Gwen of course. "I don't think this sea bass is as good as what you cooked, Jason," said Harry, eating the meal on his plate. "Why is your fried sea bass so tender and fresh?" "Because before frying, I scald the fish in hot water for two seconds and then put the fish in ice water for a few seconds, so that the fish tasted better. "Li Jie lowered his voice and said to the other three. "It's a way of handling fish in Chinese cuisine, and I combine it with Western food. You can't tell other people, it's a trade secret!"
"Wow, Jason, my mom is going to love you. She's always obsessed with researching recipes. Harry said you're going to be the world's top chef. I thought I was joking, but I didn't expect you to be so ingenious. the fusion of Chinese and Western cuisine." Gwen said with some envy of Li Jie's cooking skills.
"Yes, Jason's cooking tastes great. I believe that many Michelin chefs can't cook better than him. You should try Gwen." Peter said along Gwen's topic, while constantly facing Li Jie winked. As a good friend Li Jie of course knew what Peter meant at this time, so he said. "Yes Gwen, I think you should try it. Are you free this Sunday? Come and try my craft at my house, and of course Harry and Peter will too."
Peter secretly gave Li Jie a thumbs up. "If so, fine! I'm very happy for your invitation!" Gwen readily agreed to Li Jie's party invitation. Looking at the hearty beauty Gwen, Li Jie thought to himself: Peter, I can only help you here.
