It was almost early in the morning when everything was done.
After a thrilling day and a lot of blood donations, Wanwan finally couldn't stand it any longer, so Zhao Mengqi forced her and Zhao Jian to rest first.
Zhao Fei was quite energetic, so she stayed to look after Qian Duo.
After tucking Qian Duo into the quilt, Zhao Mengqi looked around the room and said, "Put out all the extra lights. We don't need too many people to crowd in here to avoid the air becoming too turbid. We will leave Qingyu alone in the inner room to take care of us." Just go and watch outside."
A group of people sat down outside. In addition to Zhao Mengqi and Zhao Fei, there were also Dr. Chong and several of his apprentices.
After taking a few sips of tea, Dr. Chong was so full of questions that he could no longer hold back.
"Your Highness, your blood transfusion method is indeed miraculous. Once applied, it will be able to save countless lives. However, I am too stupid to understand its secrets. I wonder if Your Highness can teach it?"
"Well, I originally planned to leave this to you to study. After all, it's just my layman's idea. I can't say it has any secrets. It's a blessing that everything went smoothly today. If you have any questions, I can try to answer them. , but it may not be correct. I just hope it can give you ideas, and then you can study and verify the real mystery."
Zhao Mengqi is self-aware and knows very well that he only knows some common sense and superficial knowledge due to the advanced information of later generations. Moreover, there is still the possibility of one-sidedness and memory errors. This kind of professional knowledge still needs to be tested and explored by professionals.
"Your Highness is too humble. You are a man of great talent. Even a random idea can produce shocking miracles. Of course, Your Highness has the entire world on his shoulders. All he needs to do is to stay high up and leave the trivial and detailed matters to us and his ministers..."
Zhao Mengqi couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "Okay, stop flattering me and get down to business."
Dr. Chong was ashamed, feeling that his flattery skills needed to be improved, "Your Highness, I have understood that this blood transfusion requires appropriateness, and the method of blood testing is roughly the same as the method of identifying relatives by dripping blood. Does that mean that the close relatives They are compatible and can send blood to each other?"
"You can notice this, which means you have figured out some ideas." Zhao Mengqi showed a look of relief, and then said seriously, "But the method of dripping blood to identify relatives is actually wrong, and the blood between close relatives may not be compatible. , when it comes to this, we have to talk about the concept of "heredity" first. "
"Is it wrong to recognize one's relatives by shedding blood!? What does inheritance mean? Passed on by inheritance? But what does blood mean?" Imperial Physician Chong thought seriously.
"It basically means that it is passed down by blood. Whether it is a human being or other living beings, they will have similar or identical traits to their ancestors. We can call this heredity."
This is not difficult to understand, because the ancients also observed and explored all things in the world, and also explained and expressed many phenomena, but they used different vocabulary.
Zhao Mengqi organizes the language and tries to use words that are easy to understand. "Just as knowledge needs to be imparted through language, books and other media, inheritance probably also needs to be achieved through some kind of medium. This medium can be called "genetic genes." . "
Imperial Physician Chong nodded, then woke up, "Qin Duan, Chong Zhi, Yuan Hua, please quickly get your pen and ink and write down His Highness's words. Don't miss a single word!"
At this time, he had a vague feeling that King Yan was about to teach something extraordinary, opening the door to understanding the ultimate meaning of life, which made his whole body tremble with excitement.
Zhao Mengqi shrugged and waited until they found pen and ink and recorded everything they said before before continuing to speak.
"As for that chicken, it was just an egg at first. When cracked open, it contained egg white and yolk. It looked simple and pure. However, under the influence of genes, complex bones, flesh, organs and other tissues gradually developed inside the egg. Eventually, Hatch into a chick."
"It is also the function of genes that the eggs that hatch will only be chicks, not other species. Of course, the premise must be that the hen that lays the eggs has been matched with the rooster... Also, don't ask me whether the chicken came first. It’s still about the egg first!”
Hearing the word "matching", Zhao Feng's face turned red and she couldn't help but grab Zhao Mengqi, "Fourth brother, Finiang is from your daughter's house, please be careful?"
Damn it, is this a trick that women are born with?
, they are still taught to each other. Why do everyone except Zhao Han use it on me?
"Have I not paid enough attention to my wording? If you are shy, then don't listen. You are a princess anyway, so it is useless..."
Zhao Fei was dissatisfied, "Who said I am useless after listening? Didn't I help rescue wounded soldiers before? Doctor Chong said that if I study medicine, I will have great achievements!"
"Okay, okay, it's useful, it's useful, my brother made a mistake." Zhao Mengqi surrendered very sensibly, preventing the "war" from spreading.
Zhao Fei raised a victor's smile, "Humph, which came first, the chicken or the egg?"
"..."
Zhao Mengqi suddenly felt a little pain in the wound on his chest.
"Don't ask! Okay, no nonsense, let me continue. We all know that an unfertilized egg is always just an egg, and the reproduction of most living things in the world requires the intercourse of male and female. ..."
"So it can be roughly inferred that an individual's genetic genes should be half from the father and half from the mother. Just like the yin and yang fish in the Tai Chi Diagram, only when yin and yang work together can a complete life be born..."
"Every person has both father-like and mother-like parts. Through facts, we can find that every trait can be like the father or the mother. There is no such thing as the father's fixed control of the nose and the mother's fixed control of the eyes. , so it is inferred that no matter which side the genes come from, they have complete information that controls all traits, and the pairing of both sides produces a joint effect."
"But after pairing up, which party's opinion should be expressed? If both parties agree, it's easy to handle. If they are different, then whoever has the stronger opinion will listen to the other. If they are equally strong, then both parties will express..."
After spending many words and expressing his "conjecture" about genes in detail, Zhao Mengqi began to explain blood types.
"I guess there may be three main types of genes that control blood type, which can be represented by the three words heaven, earth and man."
Well, Zhao Meng used heaven, earth and people to represent abo.
"According to what I just said, both parents will provide the genes that control the blood type. To put it simply, one side provides one word, then the combination that controls the blood type is, Tiantian, Tiandi, Tianren, Earth, Earthman, Renren, a total of six kind."
"But I also guess that among the three genes, heaven and earth are strong, and human is weak. Heaven and earth and humans can only express heaven and earth. So the specific blood types are heaven, earth, heaven and earth, and human..."
"When it comes to blood transfusions, in principle, different blood types cannot mix with each other. Because heaven and earth are equally strong, then the two cannot mix with each other and will produce rejection reactions. However, the "Heaven and Earth" type contains both, so it is barely possible. People are the weakest if they accept a small amount of the two. As a recipient, they cannot bear the first three. On the contrary, they can be integrated into a small amount of the first three as a donor. "
"So, in summary, it is best to transfuse blood of the same type, but as a last resort, the "Heaven and Earth" type can barely accept any blood type, and the "Human" type can supply appropriate amounts to other blood types. Of course, the actual situation may be more complicated. There may be other types of blood types, and it's up to you to study them diligently. "
There seemed to be no reliable basis for Zhao Mengqi's words. It sounded like a fantasy. However, Dr. Chong and others did not have any intention to question it. Instead, they felt extremely shocked and tried to calm down to digest it. these contents.
After a long while, Qin Duan muttered to himself, "It turns out that everyone has their own set of genes, and they also reject other genes, so the idea of exchanging hands, feet and organs is wrong..."
Um? Swapping hands, feet and organs?
Is this kid a Frankenstein? You actually have such an idea?
He is a talented person and needs to be encouraged!
Zhao Mengqi became interested, "Qin Duan, are you saying that you have the idea of exchanging people's hands, feet, and organs? Let's talk about it. Maybe I can give you some suggestions."
Qin Duan spent some time with Zhao Mengqi and became familiar with King Yan's personality. At this time, he was not restrained, but scratched his head in embarrassment.
"When I was young, I saw many wounded soldiers with broken arms and legs. Although many of them were saved by Master, disability is always a bad thing. Some of the wounded soldiers had injuries to their internal organs.
The master could not be rescued, so the youngster came up with a ridiculous idea. It would be great if the limbs and organs of the rebels could be removed and transplanted to the injured soldiers. After seeing His Highness's magic method of blood transfusion just now, he thought The blood can be exchanged, so everything else should be fine. "
"But now I understand that blood can be exchanged because there are only three main types of blood type genes. Finding the same type can reduce rejection, but the limbs and organs are very complicated... The little one was too whimsical, which made His Highness laugh."
"Haha, I actually think your idea is very groundbreaking and feasible." Zhao Mengqi smiled, but his eyes were very serious. "The spirit of creating new things lies in "bold guesses and careful verification." Everything I just said , these are just my conjectures. Whether they are correct or not depends on you to verify. "
"Back to your idea of limb replacement, the human body does reject foreign tissues out of protective instinct, but there should still be some tissues that may be less resistant like blood, or there are ways to eliminate or suppress the rejection. Don't think that everything is too difficult. You should just give up and find ways to solve the difficulties.”
"Of course, I also admit that this is something that may not be achieved even if it takes a long time to work hard, but it can be regarded as a long-term goal. Every time you take a step closer to this goal, you will get a lot of improvement because of this hard work."
"Then, when the allogeneic connection is still far away, can you try to achieve the autologous connection first? For example, if a person's hand was cut off not long ago and the severed hand is not necrotic, can it be reattached? ?」
"Essentially, this is also a kind of suturing, but it is many times more complicated and refined. Each tissue such as skin, muscles, tendons, bones, blood vessels, etc. requires different coping methods. These are all worthy of your research and exploration. Well, If you have an idea, although you can't easily test it on humans, you can use animals! Pigs, sheep, dogs, monkeys, and even mice are all similar to the human body."
Qin Duan's eyes lit up after hearing this. He seemed to have found his goal in life. He was gearing up and eager to give it a try. "Thank you, Your Highness, for your advice. Your Highness's words woke me up from my dream."
Regardless of whether it is autologous transplantation or allogeneic transplantation, Zhao Mengqi feels that he will never see it again in his lifetime, but as long as the people involved keep going, these medical technologies that benefit mankind will definitely appear in this world many years in advance.
"Fourth brother, I also have a doubt." Zhao Wei, the clever little ghost, actually listened very carefully just now.
Zhao Mengqi thought she was joking, so he said casually, "What doubts are there? Let's see if I can stump your fourth brother."
"According to what you said, there are at least two types of genes that control men and women. But just now you said that genes work in pairs. There are at least three combinations of two genes. Then why are there only two types of genes for men and women?" Zhao Hui looked serious.
Zhao Mengqi was stunned. He didn't expect that his princess sister would actually ask a very "academic" question, so he had to think about it seriously.
"Well, assuming there are two types of genes that control male and female, then using the words "sun" and "moon", the combination would be sun, sun, moon, month. But in fact, there are only two combinations. Why?"
Zhao Fei smiled slyly, "Fourth brother, are you stumped by me?"
"How is that possible?" Zhao Mengqi also wanted to save face, "Let me think about it."
"There is a possibility that in the so-called life of two, there is actually only one gender gene at the beginning, for example, moon, and all individuals are moon. But as I said just now, genes will not only recombine, but also mutate, and day is mutated. , so the sun-moon combination was born, and then the sun-moon and the moon-moon have always been matched, so naturally there will always be only two kinds..." Z.br>
Zhao Mengqi racked his brains and finally made up something that could barely fool him.
Zhao Hui bit her finger and thought thoughtfully, "Although Fourth Brother, your statement seems a bit perfunctory, but it can be justified. Let's just assume that you are right... So which one came first, the boy or the girl?"
Such a question again, Zhao Mengqi went a little crazy...
Fortunately, he didn't suffer for too long. Zhao Hui had a flash of inspiration and thought to herself, "Men can't give birth to children. If the male comes first, there will be no offspring. Therefore, the female must come first, haha, so Speaking of which, the moon represents a woman’s genes, so we can only assign moon genes to future generations.
Because only men can split the two genes of sun and moon. In other words, giving birth to a boy or a girl has nothing to do with women. It should be the man's own responsibility! "
Good guy...
This girl actually came to such a scientific conclusion!
Of course, Zhao Mengqi could not agree with such "fallacies" and could not help but argue, "It cannot be said that when men reproduce, they must release both sun and moon genes at the same time. It just depends on which one happens to be accepted by the woman... "
"This?" Zhao Fei didn't expect that her brother could argue so strongly, but she couldn't think of a reason to refute it, so she couldn't help pouting, "Well, even if this is the case, it should be more of a man's responsibility. After all, the decisive gene comes from man."
Zhao Mengqi was a little dumbfounded, but he had to acquiesce. After all, his sister was unhappy and he had to comfort her.
