Chapter 17 Don't Doubt Yourself

Kang Zhuo was very interested in Lanlan, and asked Quan Huachen a lot of questions about it. From this, he knew that Lanlan was the puppy born to Quan Huachen's neighbor's golden retriever in country D, and gave it to Quan Huachen. And the reason why it is called "lazy" is because it is too lively and active.

Once Zhou Yuan took it out for a walk, and ran rampantly and excitedly, Zhou Yuan couldn't hold it, and even fell, causing a bone fracture.

Quan Huachen hopes that the name "lazy" will seal his wild and uninhibited heart and not be so noisy.

It is precisely because Zhou Yuan fell while walking the dog that Quan Huachen brought the dog with him after returning to China, so as not to cause trouble to Zhou Yuan.

A meal has been eaten for almost ten minutes now, and eight minutes have been spent talking about dogs. Quan Huachen was not happy. He just changed the subject: "Have you been to the laboratory recently?"

Kang Zhuo's eyes lit up, and he really put the dog thing aside: "Is it the equipment you donated to us, uncle? It's so useful! Now it only takes less than 20 minutes to test the matching degree of pheromone target cells and ligand signaling molecules. ! So it's 'full sum' to work with our lab on projects?"

Quan Huachen smiled: "Yeah, did you only know today? We signed the contract a week ago."

Kang Zhuo laughed twice: "I didn't care too much before."

"What's your plan in the future? Do you do research on gland tumors with Liu Ming?"

"What I want to do at the moment is research on inhibitors."

Quan Huachen looked suspicious: "Which category?"

"Omega heat inhibitor."

Now the products on the market for inhibitors are quite mature, whether it is for omega or alpha, and the inhibitors for omega estrus are full of tricks, including short-acting and long-acting, injection type, oral type, topical spray type ...

The Quan family sells these kinds of drugs. No one knows better than Quan Huachen. The market for such drugs has long been saturated. Any improvement is nothing more than to improve the use of omega, reduce the side effects of drugs, and make no big splash.

To put it bluntly, Quan Huachen was not very optimistic about Kang Zhuo's research direction, but he didn't want to attack Kang Zhuo, he just asked: "Where do you want to start?"

"It's not the kind on the market now. The main components of the current omega inhibitors are C and Y hormones. Excessive intake of these two hormones will destroy the circulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis and inhibit the estrous hormone, which is to force The state of the glands is suppressed to the state before and after estrus.

"But the side effects of this type of inhibitor are actually great, not to mention the risk of endocrine disorders or glandular tumors, long-term use of such inhibitors will generate antibodies in the body, and many omegas can't find alpha that can be marked after the age of 30. , the inhibitor will gradually become ineffective for them..."

When it came to his research direction, Kang Zhuo was all excited. He looked around eagerly. Quan Huachen asked him what he was looking for. Kang Zhuo said, "Pen and paper."

Quan Huachen got up and stretched his long legs. He found the pen and note from under the coffee table in the living room and handed them to Kang Zhuo. Kang Zhuo directly moved his chair to Quan Huachen's side, and then drew the molecular formula for him.

"I'm working on another inhibitor, a pheromone receptor binding agent that competes with the alpha pheromone ligand signaling molecule."

Kang Zhuo was afraid that Quan Huachen could not understand it, and explained: "There is such a cell in the unmarked omega gland, you can think of it as a circle with a missing mouth, this is the intention of human beings to reproduce. The incompleteness engraved into the gene will be uncomfortable, so omegas have to experience painful estrus until the appropriate alpha ligand molecule fills the gap, but if you just need to make up the gap, then there are other ways, Like the pheromone receptor binders I just mentioned."

"The hormone receptors in the omega glands originally need to accept alpha ligand molecules, and if we mimic this binding with a receptor binding agent at this time, it will relieve the uncomfortable symptoms of omega estrus, and this inhibitor has few side effects."

Kang Zhuo's eyes were sparkling, they stared at Quan Huachen, like the stars on the night, the fluorescent lights in the field, and the ever-extinguishing holy fire.

Quan Huachen admired it quietly and reminded him at the right time: "This theory was proposed more than ten years ago."

Kang Zhuo's originally high interest waned slightly: "Well, I know."

This pheromone receptor binding agent is like an omnipotent alpha pheromone that can adapt to any omega. It can be compared to the manufacture of artificial blood that can be transfused with any blood type. It is difficult to achieve at the current level of research.

"But if it can be achieved, not only can the problem of inhibitors be solved, there are many glandular diseases that can be treated, such as stress disorder."

Stress disorder is a common glandular disorder in omega, similar to allergies, but stress disorder is that omega is allergic to alpha pheromone, and some patients with severe stress disorder must be isolated in the ward for life, otherwise the skin Fester or even suffocate.

The current stress treatment drugs contain a lot of hormones, which have great side effects on the patient's body. Therefore, if a pheromone receptor binding agent can be made, it will be a great progress in the history of medicine.

"And because this binding agent can compete with alpha pheromones, it can effectively avoid involuntary labeling of omega..."

Kang Zhuo recovered from the beautiful vision of the future, and found that the food on the table was completely cold, and he did not know when he sat next to Quan Huachen, their shoulders were close to each other, and he dared to draw a talisman. The naive molecular formula was handed to him.

Shame overwhelmed Kang Zhuo, his face felt hot: "I'm sorry uncle, I... I'm a little overwhelmed, isn't it boring?"

Quan Huachen looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "How come, I like to hear you say this, it's very interesting, let me see the future of the biological world."

"Really?" Kang Zhuo still felt that he was a little complacent just now, he tore off the note full of molecular formulas and held it in his hand, "Dongfan always said that I am imaginative, and that so many giants in the biological world can't do it. How could it be possible for me to make something that came out, why don't you look at it and have fun in time..."

"But for you, isn't doing research just 'just in time'?" Quan Huachen became serious, "Everyone's hobbies and happiness are different. For Yin Dongfan, eating, drinking and playing all day is called happiness, but I guess you don't like life like that?"

Kang Zhuo nodded, but his eyes were still blank: "For me, doing research is a joy, but the equations can't always be balanced, the experimental data are always inaccurate, and it's still very painful when I can't make the results and stop moving forward. "

"Happiness and pain, beauty and ugliness, good and evil, these are all things that need to be compared to reflect. If you have never eaten bitter, how do you know that the sugar you eat in the future is sweet?"

Quan Huachen pulled out the small piece of paper with molecular formula from Kang Zhuo's palm, opened it and laid it on the table.

"Don't doubt what you are doing. You see, everything you are doing now is meaningful. Hesitation and stagnation are just the only way to succeed. Your research can help many people, even if your name cannot appear in the future. In biology textbooks, every word in the book will be a testament to the tireless efforts of you and thousands of anonymous researchers.

Somewhere in my heart suddenly lit up.

Kang Zhuo stared blankly at Quan Huachen, countless fragments of molecular formulas were tumbling in his head, and then they quickly gathered together and turned into Quan Huachen's appearance.

Many years later, Kang Zhuo couldn't remember how they finished the meal that night, nor when he went home, but Quan Huachen's words of comfort were always kept deep in his mind. He never felt that he couldn't keep going because the experiment failed.

But soon, another problem that plagued Kang Zhuo arose.

He wants to return to the intimate relationship with Quan Huachen when he was a child, what should he do?

Quan Huachen found it interesting to see his dull appearance, reached out and rubbed the small mole on his chin, and said with a smile, "I'll go and warm up the food, you sit here and wait."
