Chapter 1,246 The Summit that Shocked the World

A week has passed since the opening of the Mars front, and January is quickly coming to an end.

The original plan has not been changed due to external public opinion, and Starring Trading's biotechnology summit will be held at the end of the month as scheduled.

The Biotechnology Summit will be held in the "Heart of the Ocean" in the north of Koro Island. This large landmark building integrates shopping, accommodation, leisure, business and other functions. Since it was built by future tourists, it has been As the national image of the new country, it is printed on the album of tourism posters.

A total of ten devil bug specimens were dissected and made into a total of more than 500 exhibits, which were escorted by the Star Circle Marine Corps to the exhibition center. These specimens range from slices of tissue cells of devil bugs to whole specimens of devil bugs that have been technically repaired. Parts such as blood, heart, limbs, etc. are all displayed as separate exhibits.

All exhibits are strictly sealed by double-layer bulletproof glass with a vacuum in the middle. The glass display cabinets have small anti-trigger napalm bombs built into them. Once damage to the showcase is detected, the gasoline bomb will automatically detonate, causing a high temperature of 5,000 degrees in the glass showcase, destroying all samples to prevent foreign bacteria and viruses inside from invading the ecological environment of Coro City.

Because the bomb charge was strictly controlled, people standing outside the showcase would not be affected.

In addition, soldiers from the Halo Trade Marine Corps were also on display along with the exhibits. Next to each large display case stood a warrior wearing an exoskeleton, holding a Ripper assault rifle on his chest.

The exhibition will last for one month.

On the first day of the exhibition, the number of visitors to the Heart of the Ocean doubled, so much so that the New Zealand Ministry of Transport had to dispatch additional traffic police to maintain order on nearby roads and ensure that delegations from various countries and the broadcast trucks of major media could attend. Smooth entry... These classic cars that cannot fly on the maglev highway are really a nuisance when blocked.

Not only media reporters and scholars in related fields are allowed to enter, but also many tourists visiting Coro City will not miss this opportunity.

After all, it is a Martian species, and I have never seen it in my entire life!

Everyone used to think it was a desert with no hair on it.

Let alone a Martian species, if someone really got a living specimen of a dinosaur and put it in a museum, the entrance to the exhibition hall would be guaranteed to be crowded. It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand, it doesn’t stop you from taking photos and joining in the fun…

"Oh my god, isn't this insect too big?" a tourist exclaimed.

"Mom, I want to sit on its head and take a photo!" cried the naughty boy who was being pulled tightly by his mother.

"It's so big that it's hard to associate it with an insect..." someone else commented.

Of course, for safety reasons, tourists can only take photos outside the isolation zone and cannot take photos with the specimens at close range.

Media reporters were allowed to cross the isolation zone, but were also not allowed to touch the glass showcases.

But it's enough. Not only standing next to the display cabinet, but even taking pictures from a distance, one can feel the power of this 3.7 billion-year-old species from the huge size of the devil bug.

"The longest devil bug specimen reaches 20 meters, and the shortest one is 13 meters long...more than seven times larger than the largest known arthropod, the Japanese spider crab! Its existence has refreshed our understanding of the phylum Arthropods. cognition!”

"What kind of genes can allow it to survive more than three billion years? Perhaps only the mysterious nature can give us the answer..."

"Mars is a crazy place!"

"I can't wait to go to Mars to do an exclusive interview with these big guys, but the staff of Starring Trading told me that it's best not to do this..."

In the venue, reporters from major media were explaining these specimens in front of the camera. Although the information they have is only superficial size data, it is enough to satisfy the public's curiosity about Martian creatures.

The company's reporter was in front of the devil bug specimens, and the British broadcaster was explaining to the camera. Then when he had just finished an exclusive interview with the devil bug blood showcase, he found a group of people crowded in a corner of the exhibition venue.

He remembered that there were no display cases there.

"A large crowd gathered in front of the organizer's office at the venue. Most of them were over 50 years old. What happened? Let us interview one of them... Hello, sir, who are you here? ——”

"Protest!" The old man with glasses and a gray beard said angrily, "As you can see we are protesting! Why don't we be allowed to participate in research! They are obstructing academic freedom!"

"That's right! I protest on behalf of the Harvard School of Life Sciences against the Star Ring trade. Nationality should not be a restriction that hinders scientific progress!" The professor standing next to him aggressively approached the camera and expressed his dissatisfaction, "I obviously I have received a nomination for the Devil Bug Experiment Project Team, but the Earth Defense Alliance has crossed me off the list because I am an American? This is so weird!"

He has attended so many scientific research summits, but there was no one where someone politely invited him there. This was the first time that he wanted to go, only to be rejected?

Normally, he would have put this company on the blacklist with a straight face.

But this time...

He paid for the flight at his own expense.

There was no other reason. After all, it was a Martian species. He couldn't enter the laboratory and wanted to see what it looked like up close. He just thought he was on vacation on this small island in the Western Pacific.

However, when he saw the 20-meter-long devil bug specimen with his own eyes, as well as the green blood labeled with strong acidity displayed in the display cabinet next to it, his old problem suddenly broke out - Uncomfortable Specimen Syndrome!

However, when he slowly found the staff of the summit, revealed his identity, and then implicitly expressed that he could reluctantly help you look at the specimens and give guidance on your research work, he was greeted by a strange look on his face. The staff were brought here... and joined the protest team.

"Who is this professor?" Seeing that the old man looked familiar, the BBC reporter asked in a low voice.

"Martin Capras!"

Hearing this name, the BBC reporter suddenly stood in awe, and at the same time, there was strong shock in his eyes.

As a reporter who has been engaged in technology news reporting for many years, he is certainly no stranger to this old man. Speaking of Martin Capras, it’s amazing. He was the winner of the 2013 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Created a multi-scale model for complex chemical systems, which is a milestone for the development of chemical technology!

However, it was precisely because he was shocked by the identity of this old man that the reporter became even more confused.

Such a great figure in academia cannot be hired by most companies! Now that Martin Capras has taken the initiative to participate in the research, without even mentioning his salary, the Star Ring Trade will not exclude him, right?

But then, the reporter looked behind Martin Capras and saw another familiar face.

Michael Levitt!

He is more familiar with this person. Like Martin Capras before him, this Professor Michael is another winner of the 2013 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. He holds dual citizenship of the United States and the United Kingdom. He graduated from the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom. He is currently a professor of structural biology at Stanford University in the United States.

The reason for winning the award is the same as that of Martin Capras, but his research direction is different. Professor Michael's research field is mainly biocomputing, and he was one of the first scholars to guide molecular dynamics simulations of DNA and proteins! It opens a new era of "from structure to function" research in the field of biophysics!

In a simple word, both of them belong to the level of "great magicians" in the scientific world.

However, these two "great magicians" were actually blocked from the door?

Look at the other people... their reputation and achievements are no less than those of these two academic giants, and they are even more powerful than any of them.

Smelling the big news, the BBC reporter immediately asked the assistant in charge of filming to focus the camera on them. He stepped forward with a smile on his face, handed the interview microphone to them, and gave them a voice to express their dissatisfaction. Opportunity……
