Chapter 159 Still Needs to Work Hard
When Gu Zhan went over, Guo Zhida was already waiting for him in the laboratory.
He handed the child to Xia Yu to take care of temporarily, while he changed his clothes and went straight to the laboratory.
As soon as he entered the door, Guo Zhida came to greet him. He patted Gu Zhan's shoulder excitedly and said, "Xiao Gu, it's done, it really worked. We succeeded. Come over and take a look."
Although the in vitro fertilization of cells was within Gu Zhan's expectations, it was still completed one or two days earlier than he expected. This was inseparable from the fact that Guo Zhida and his team worked day and night.
"it is good!"
Gu Zhan smiled and nodded slightly, then followed Guo Zhida to the microscope.
Watching Gu Zhan skillfully operate the microscope to observe the fertilized egg cells, Guo Zhida waited beside Gu Zhan with some trepidation.
Although Gu Zhan rarely entered the laboratory for this experiment, they all knew that the key parts of this experiment were either done by Gu Zhan himself or under his guidance.
At this moment, Guo Zhida was a little nervous because he didn't get a definite answer from Gu Zhan.
"How's it going, Xiao Gu?"
Gu Zhan packed up his things, looked away, and said as he wiped his hands, "From the current situation, it's OK. We have achieved our goal of obtaining a fertilized egg."
"That's good, that's good." Guo Zhida patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
"But..." As Gu Zhan's tone changed, Guo Zhida's heart began to hang in the air again.
"What's the problem, Xiao Gu?"
Gu Zhan frowned and said, "We've successfully cultured fertilized eggs in vitro in such a short time, which is already a very good result. The problem we face now is the cell viability. Overall, the cell viability is still a little lacking, and this level of cell viability is unlikely to meet the needs of subsequent experiments."
Gu Zhan's words made Guo Zhida feel a little disappointed.
But on second thought, how can one succeed in scientific research in one go? Being able to culture fertilized egg cells in vitro in just two weeks, if this news were released now, it would probably be sensational news.
But for some reason, they decided not to announce this news to the public for the time being.
Unexpected results have been achieved.
Thinking of this, Guo Zhida suddenly felt enlightened about Gu Zhan's conclusion, and his heart was filled with passion to continue moving forward.
He asked Gu Zhan: "Xiao Gu, what should we do next?"
Gu Zhan thought for a moment and said, "I suggest we continue to repeat the in vitro fertilization experiment until we can cultivate a fertilized egg with the best cell vitality, and then proceed to the next step of the experiment. Otherwise, if we just keep going forward, it will delay the progress of the experiment."
"Okay, Xiao Gu, I'll listen to you."
"Well, I'll have to trouble Team Leader Guo."
"Hey, Xiao Gu, you're being so polite. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't even dare to think about it, let alone achieve the results we have now. By the way, should we tell Dean Sun about this now?"
Gu Zhan thought for a moment and said, "I think we can tell Dean Sun and report to our superiors on a small scale now. After all, our research is funded by our superiors, so reporting the progress of the experiment is necessary. However, I don't think it's time to make it public yet. Our next experiment is the top priority and should not be disturbed too much. What do you think, Team Leader Guo?"
Guo Zhida chuckled and said, "You're right, Xiao Gu. I'll listen to you. I'll call Dean Sun later to tell him the good news."
After coming out of the laboratory, Gu Zhan went to the cattle farm. More than half of the cows there were pregnant, so they couldn't be careless.
When he went there, it was time to feed the hay.
Zhou Liang was checking the health of the pregnant cows according to the method Xia Yu had taught him before.
Gu Zhan entered the cowshed, picked up a handful of fodder, took a look at it, and said to Lin Xiaocao, who was feeding the cows, "Don't feed too much fodder at once. Strictly follow the predetermined feed quota. Also, make sure to clean the cowshed every day."
"Hey, okay."
Lin Xiaocao said as he was busy stirring the hay.
After explaining everything clearly in the cowshed here, Gu Zhan went to the cowshed next door to take a look.
Gu Zhan didn't stop until he had checked all the pregnant cows in the barn.
Zhou Liang saw Gu Zhan standing outside the cowshed, looking in its direction. He walked up from behind and asked with a smile, "Gu Zhan, how are you?"
He and Gu Zhan's uncle Gu Mancang are of the same generation. According to seniority, Gu Zhan should call him Uncle Zhou. However, because of the false accusation instigated by Gu Mancang, Zhou Liang still feels insecure when standing in front of Gu Zhan. He doesn't dare to be so arrogant as to ask Gu Zhan to call him Uncle Zhou. It's good enough if he doesn't hold a grudge.
Gu Zhan turned around and said with a smile, "There doesn't seem to be any major problem with hygiene, but there's a bit too much feed at the bottom of the trough. It's a bit sour in the hot weather now, so we need to pay attention to that."
"Oh, okay, I'll go down and tell them right away."
"Well, it's troublesome!" Gu Zhan nodded slightly and said.
Zhou Liang looked at Gu Zhan flattered and said, "It's my duty. It's no trouble at all."
"Also, please pay attention to the temperature monitoring of these cattle during this period. If you have any questions, please contact Researcher Xia from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences immediately."
"Hey, okay."
After leaving the cattle farm, Gu Zhan returned to the lounge next to the laboratory. Xia Yu was holding Gu Xinxin and teaching her to speak. Xia Yu spoke, and the little baby Gu Xinxin said "ah". The two of them talked separately, and the others watched beside Xia Yu. The happy scene made Gu Zhan's eyes warm.
It’s great that my daughter in this life is a little treasure who is held in the palm of my hand.
Xia Yu turned around and saw Gu Zhan coming over. He hugged Gu Xinxin excitedly and said, "Xinxin baby, look who's here?"
Gu Xinxin can't speak yet, but she can already recognize people. After seeing her father, she struggled and tried to throw herself into Gu Zhan's arms.
But when she felt Xia Yu holding her arms, her big eyes were suddenly filled with tears, and she wanted to cry but couldn't. Seeing this, Gu Zhan felt distressed and didn't bother to tease her anymore. He quickly took his precious daughter from Xia Yu's arms.
Finally arriving in a safe embrace, little baby Gu Xinxin immediately smiled happily, grinning at Xia Yu with her toothless mouth, which made Xia Yu very happy.
"I'll go back first?"
"Okay, okay." Xia Yu looked at Gu Zhan's back as he walked away. He felt nothing but envy. He envied him for having a lovely daughter and for having an extraordinary mind.
