02388 Professional Discussion
At this time, Azak took the initiative to mention this matter, mainly with his previous thoughts.
To please Chen Zhao, you must please.
I can't contact with rich people normally.
Now I encounter one, and I can't miss this opportunity.
"By the way, look at my memory." Nanston Kira remembered.
Chen Zhao came over to consult him about academic issues.
Nanston Kira completely forgot about this.
My mind is full of great white sharks, tiger sharks, rat sharks, dolphins and other things.
"By the way, Professor Chen, you are a medical major, right? What did you ask me an oceanographer to do?"
Chen Zhao looked at Nanston Kira, and Azak felt a little embarrassed.
Nanston Kira's emotional intelligence is too low and she doesn't know how to communicate at all.
"That's right, I recently received two patients. He was bitten by an octopus and then seemed to be poisoned and has remained unconscious until now."
"Are you sure you were bitten by an octopus?"
"Yes, I'm very sure."
"The toxins of octopus are very low, and they are not fatal paralysis toxins. Unless you catch hundreds of octopuses, extract all the toxins and drink them in one breath, it will not cause harm to the human body." Nanston Kira's tone was very affirmative.
After all, it is his professional knowledge. In many cases, what he says is the truth.
"But they were indeed attached to the octopus and bitten out of the wound, and then fell into a coma." Chen Zhao said.
"This is too strange." Nanston Kira murmured: "Are you sure they were not attacked by other creatures before or at the time? It could be a sea snake or a chicken heart screw."
"Professor Southon, I respect your professionalism, and please don't doubt my professionalism. I know the symptoms of sea snake toxin, the symptoms of snails and their treatment plans. Before I came to you, I once took the octopus attacking the two injured to identify it. No one seems to know this octopus, like a brand new breed, or has mutated under some circumstances."
Southon Chira was not angry at Chen Zhao's more radical tone.
Instead, I paid attention to the words Chen Zhao later, which are brand new varieties and mutations.
Marine organisms often appear mutations, but most of these mutations are individuals.
Very few group mutations are found.
And two people were attacked at the same time, which means that this is not an individual mutation.
"In order to learn more detailed octopus toxins and treatment plans, I took the octopus to a professional institution for screening..."
"Why didn't I send it to me as soon as possible? I am the most professional and authoritative marine biology expert." Nanston Kira's tone was a bit arrogant, with a somewhat questioning tone.
"So I'm here now, aren't I?"
"So what about the octopus sample? Did you bring it? Are you alive?"
“The sample is in that institution.”
"I want to see this octopus sample."
"I'll send it here tomorrow."
"Why not now?"
"Professor Southon, do you think they are still working now?"
“My research institute is here.”
Azak felt that if he didn't speak, he would probably anger Chen Zhao, which would make his plans fail.
"Professor Southon, our institute is different from other institutions, and we cannot use our standards to demand others."
Nanston Kira thought about it before nodding reluctantly: "Okay, but I still hope to see the sample tomorrow."
"If Professor Chen is busy with work, I'm happy to help deliver it." Azak said: "Professor Chen, can you leave your contact information if it's convenient for you?"
"Okay, this is my mobile phone number." Chen Zhao gave his mobile phone number to Azak.
At the same time, he said: "Professor Southon, I want to ask a few questions."
"Yeah, you said."
"With current technology, is it possible to artificially transform other creatures? More precisely, can it be transformed with mutated octopus?"
Southon Chira thought for a while: "Most of the variants are uncertain mutations, uncontrollable, and even impossible to determine the mutation factors. With current technology, it can be transformed to make this organism mutate. However, this transformation is also uncontrollable. However, the creatures that need to be transformed have several conditions: tenacious vitality, some dominant genes are unstable, and recessive genes are stable, and octopus meets these conditions."
"Does the octopus meet these conditions?"
"Of course, I don't need to elaborate on the tenacious vitality. Even if you cut open your head and cut off your tentacles, it can still survive for a long time. Secondly, dominant genes are the so-called external characteristics, such as skin color and size. Even if the octopus is the same breed, their size may fluctuate greatly. For example, they can freely change the skin color. When they live in different sea areas, water temperature and environment, they will adapt and change very quickly. This is all because of the instability of dominant genes, while recessive gene stability is their physical functions, food, action patterns, and reproductive methods. These are all recessive genes. No matter how the environment changes, these will not change."
Southon Chira paused and added: "In fact, the so-called transformation is actually stimulated by external environmental factors to allow organisms to undergo adaptive changes, which is very different from the transformation in real scientific terms. The so-called variation should actually be called mutations."
"So, just like the situation in the movie where mutates through radiation, can current technology still not be able to do it?"
"What you do is not to have any clear direction of transformation. Catch 10,000 or 100,000 octopus, and then get them to receive irritating drugs or trace radiation. One or two of them may survive and mutate. And you can't determine what this mutation will become. Maybe it's one more tentacle, maybe multiple heads, maybe hair on the body, etc. In short, it's uncertain and uncontrollable."
"And more often the mutation is unstable. If it is a mutation of dominant genes, it is not fatal, because most dominant genes are changes in physical characteristics, while the mutation of recessive genes directly causes changes in the way of behavior or even survival to the organism itself. Therefore, in most cases, the mutation will die directly or in a short period of time."
“Is there no successful example?”
"Although there is a theory, it is very difficult to actually operate, and it can even be said to be impossible to do it, at least it is very difficult at the moment."
