Chapter 873: Genetic Testing
The next morning, as soon as Gu Yin arrived at the laboratory entrance, she saw her junior uncle, Wen Xin, and Zhang Chengming waiting for her.
"So early? Have you had breakfast yet?" Gu Yin entered the password, then scanned the face and pupils before opening the laboratory door.
"I ate a long time ago, and came over after I finished eating!" Hu Shanmin said excitedly, looking at Gu Yin expectantly.
Gu Yin said helplessly, "It's just a normal testing experiment, no need to get excited!" After saying that, she led the three of them into the laboratory.
"Go and enter your identity information first. The information of the three of you is interconnected. No matter who comes to the lab, the other three of us will be notified. This is a requirement of the entire base. Go ahead, and we'll begin once you're done."
The three of them finished quickly.
After changing into her lab coat, Gu Yin had already turned on all the equipment when she went in. Seeing them come in, she didn't even look up: "You can see for yourselves what you can do. I don't need you to worry about what I'm doing here."
Wen Xin and Zhang Chengming nodded upon hearing this. One of them was busy preparing the medicinal herbs, while the other was waiting on the side with a notebook. Hu Shanmin noticed that the two of them had already found their roles and didn't need Gu Yin to say anything. No wonder they were invited here; the main purpose was to get them to listen and understand each other.
He didn't do anything else, just stood next to Gu Yin and watched her operate the system.
"Is this Blue Flame's blood?"
Gu Yin answered while conducting the test: "It's his."
Hearing this, Hu Shanmin didn't ask any more questions. But after seeing her skillfully performing the tests, Hu Shanmin couldn't help but speak up again.
"How come you're so skilled at this test? Isn't this someone else's job?" In general, laboratories have a division of labor, and the main experimenter doesn't do these things, which wastes time.
"They don't know how yet. I'm faster and more accurate, so there's no time for them to test back and forth."
Alright, Hu Shanmin said, indicating his understanding.
Half an hour later, Blue Flame's test results came out, showing that there were no problems with her genes, even under conditions where her body's various functions were at their limits.
“They were tested when they enlisted, so there shouldn’t be any problems. At this age, even if it’s a hereditary disease, it should have manifested by now. Look at them, they’re all fine, so I don’t think there should be any issues.”
Gu Yin did not refute her junior uncle's words. Under normal circumstances, that would indeed be the case, but there was always a chance of something going wrong. Going to space was no joke. Any substance could be the trigger for genetic diseases, and once it was ignited, it would no longer be a personal problem.
After the normal testing, Gu Yin looked at Zhang Chengming, who immediately took the first batch of medicinal herbs.
Gu Yin began preparing the medicinal herbs: "Record it."
Hu Shanmin saw that the two children were taking notes, one taking notes and the other helping, working together steadily and in an orderly manner.
"Traditional Chinese medicine currently cannot detect genes, so why are you doing this?" Hu Shanmin was a little confused.
"Genetic testing technology can detect these issues. I'm doing this to see if there are any problems with the blood under the influence of the medication. This is just my own method and it can't be promoted widely. Medicinal materials have limitations, and modern medicine can detect both common and uncommon genetic defects, so there's no need for mine."
Hearing her say that, Hu Shanmin became hopeful.
"So amazing?" He had to take a good look!
Wen Xin and the other person were no longer surprised by this, and instead reminded him: "Professor Hu, you can take a closer look when the teacher is making the medicine. If there is anything you don't understand, write it down and ask later. The teacher will do the testing for the first batch of soldiers, but after that, you and I will do it. The teacher will be busy with other things then. This is our lab's practice. Is that acceptable to you?"
Hu Shanmin was stunned: "What? I can do it?"
These kinds of things are usually kept secret, or only shown to others after a patent is published, right? So, you can just follow suit directly?
"Ah Yin, did your senior brother not tell you the rules of the lab?" Hu Shanmin looked at Gu Yin with concern.
Gu Yin said helplessly, "If I know these things, then I'm the only one who knows them. If something happens to me, then no one will know them. So for some experiments that can't be released yet, I'll have the people in the lab learn them together, so that at least there won't be a gap in knowledge with me. We can release them when they're ready to be released later."
She will leave this place in the future, and whether or not there is a patent is no longer important to her. What is important is to leave something useful for future generations.
The medicine was quickly prepared. Gu Yin looked at Wen Xin, who handed her the notebook. Gu Yi checked it over and, finding no major problems, returned it to her.
"I won't go into some minor issues. You can figure them out yourselves during the production process, otherwise you won't make any progress."
After speaking, he took the medicine and tested it. There were no problems. Then he took his own blood and Wenxin's blood and others for testing, and there were still no problems.
“Wenxin and I have no genetic defects. This simple experiment is just to prove that the drug does not cause any changes in the reaction of normal blood alone or in combination with normal blood. It only causes changes when combined with defective genes.”
Upon hearing this, Hu Shanmin quickly drew blood from himself: "I have thalassemia, see if there are any changes."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yin tested her junior uncle's blood. Sure enough, just like the results she saw in her system space, the blood data value directly exceeded the normal value of 200.
Hu Shanmin was quite surprised to see this: "There really is a change! But it's not enough for just a few of us to do the testing. Although it doesn't take several years like it does at the base, a month of observation is still necessary."
Gu Yin knew about this: "I know. This batch of soldiers is also among those being tested. I tested Blue Flame first, and after I got the report, I got Elder Jin to sign it, and then the one-month clinical testing began."
This was done rather crudely, and according to international rules, it wouldn't have passed at all. But since this is their own base and they have no intention of spreading it outside, they can let Wenxin and the others handle things slowly from now on.
Gu Yin took the medicine and Lan Yan's blood and tested it again.
The data came out shortly afterward, and the blood values had actually changed after the medication was added.
"Blue Flame's genes have defects? What kind of hereditary disease did his ancestors have?" Hu Shanmin looked at Gu Yin with suspicion.
Gu Yin shook her head: "He's an orphan, he probably doesn't even know it himself."
