“You’re going to finish it in two weeks?” Kim Hyun-Taek asked Young-Joon like he was shocked.
“Yes. I can do it in two weeks.”
“Are you serious? I know that you have a way of making new drugs, but this isn’t something like that. We are developing a new material.”
“I understand. Isn’t that why it’s easy? We don’t need things like clinical trials, right?” Young-Joon replied like it was no big deal. Kim Hyun-Taek was even more flustered.
Even Kim Hyun-Taek, who proposed this project, had no solid ideas for experiments. Honestly, even the general supervisor couldn’t be certain that this study could be completed within two years. But Young-Joon could do it? In just two weeks?
“How in the world are you going to do it?”
“Lotus leaves have numerous bumps, which are three micrometers in diameter, on its surface, and the nanoparticles have a water-repellent coating. That is the key structure in achieving the lotus leaf effect. We just have to isolate the gene that codes for it, make it synthesize the biomaterials, and then refine them.”
“It’s easy when you say it. The process to find that gene is…”
“The gene is the three hundred second ORF[1] in chromosome seven,” Young-Joon said. “It doesn’t even have a name since it’s not really well-known in the scientific community, so should we just call it the lotus leaf gene from now on?”
