I earn really hard money

Chapter 331 Breakthrough Progress

He Xia walked to the solid metal door of the laboratory and searched, but he couldn't find the doorbell, so he knocked lightly. After a while, there was a crackling sound from inside the door, and the door opened.

"Oh, Mr. He, I just prepared a set of protective clothing for you, don't worry, there is no danger in the laboratory, you don't need to come in!"

After the door was opened, he did not enter the laboratory, but a small space similar to an isolation cabin. A set of protective clothing was placed on the chair. Due to several layers of protective plastic, the situation inside was not clear.

"Professor Smith, is there biochemical pollution inside?" Gourav asked with a frown as he looked at Professor Smith, who was tightly wrapped up behind the plastic sheet.

As a bodyguard, what you fear most is not bullets and fists, but biochemical attacks and dirty bombs.

"Biochemical pollution? No! Of course not..." Professor Smith's voice came through the loudspeaker: "The external environment is complicated, and you carry too many germs on your body. The protective clothing protects everything in the laboratory!"

He Xia smiled and waved to the people around him: "You guys wait outside, don't worry!"

After all, he unzipped the zipper and walked into the isolation cabin, the door was closed immediately, put on the protective suit and went through a series of killings, then unzipped the zipper at the other end, and finally entered the interior of the laboratory.

"Professor, do you think we are doing experiments on the moon or Mars, haha!"

He Xia took a look at her attire, she had the sense of a sci-fi movie scene, and found it very interesting.

Looking at the situation in the laboratory, many equipment and instruments are somewhat familiar. I have seen them in film and television works. As for the names and functions, I am not very clear.

Professor Smith held a stack of materials excitedly, and said, "Mr. He, before I introduce this result to you, I would like to ask you to make two mental preparations."

"So exaggerated? Come and listen!"

If another subordinate had been talking to him like this, He Xia would have slapped him long ago, and then said: "Fart, let go!"

For Professor Smith who is engaged in scientific research, enough tolerance has been given.

"First of all, a very significant breakthrough has been made in research. I believe you will be pleasantly surprised. In addition, I'm afraid you will have to spend money..."

In fact, so much is said, mainly to lay the groundwork for asking for money.

After deciding to get involved in the field of genetic engineering research, He Xia was mentally prepared to spend money, so she said, "Professor, we only talk about scientific research results, not money."

"Ok!"

Professor Smith took a deep breath and said: "Through years of research, I have used genetic engineering to treat cancer. At least one experiment has been successfully completed on mice, and a mouse suffering from liver cancer has been cured!"

He Xia fell silent after listening to Professor Smith's words. There is too much information in just one sentence!

Genetic engineering, cancer treatment, cure for liver cancer...

"Well, professor, you just said years of research...but as far as I know, the research team doesn't seem to be focusing on cancer treatment. Why did they suddenly change their research direction?"

He Xia clearly remembered that what was said at the beginning was good, gene programming, how it turned into a treatment for cancer inexplicably, of course it does not mean that this technological breakthrough is not worth celebrating, but it makes people feel a little puzzled.

A strange look appeared on Professor Smith's face under the protective mask, and he walked to a glass cabin with a happily running mouse inside.

"Mr. He, in fact, I have started researching synchronously on overcoming cancer cells through gene therapy ten years ago, but the research is based on the technology of gene writing. I am the only researcher in the entire scientific research team and have not announced it to anyone. ,Slow progress!"

"It wasn't until some time ago that the gene writing technology made some breakthroughs... The previous theory finally got technical support, and it was a matter of course to have the current result."

"I expected that gene writing technology would most likely not be accepted by those guys, so... whoever supports my scientific research team to continue to study gene writing may see the success of gene therapy experiments in treating cancer!"

He Xia took a deep breath, he didn't expect Professor Smith to hide such a big secret!
In other words, if the Duke of Lenstermar or Larison of the Beautiful Country had invested in Professor Smith's scientific research team, they would be the ones standing in the laboratory listening to the report now!
The time span from the beginning of the experiment to the present, referring to the successful time of the experiment, should have had relatively clear results a few months ago. When Professor Smith was criticized by the academic community, if he threw out the research on using gene programming to treat cancer As a result, it is likely to be another scene.

"The treatment of cancer is indeed an epoch-making scientific achievement, Professor Smith, please explain it in detail!"

He Xia was not overly excited. He had seen similar reports on the Internet before, "A certain scientific research team has successfully broken through such and such a technology, and it is expected to overcome cancer treatment in a few years", and more than once, so he planned to understand it before talking about it.

Professor Smith picked up the experiment report and said: "The specific experiment process is as follows, um, Mr. He, please allow me to ask, do you understand the formation process of cancer?"

He Xia frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Probably, uh...it seems to be related to cell replication. Cells with wrong replication remain in the organ, and then keep replicating themselves to form cancer. Is that so?"

He is not a medical student, and his knowledge in this area is limited, and he knows a little bit vaguely, so he dare not play big swords in front of Guan Gong.

Professor Smith nodded with a smile: "Probably so, that's right. When a cell replicates wrongly, it will start the suicide program written in the DNA, so that the wrong cell will die, and it will not affect our body organs. However, a small number of wrong cells destroyed the suicide program during the mutation process, and could not achieve suicide..."

"In fact, even if you can't commit suicide, the human body still has an immune system that can kill this kind of special mutated cells. In fact, the immune system in our body is scanning and sweeping every minute, that is, cleaning up the mistakes that do not have a suicide system. cell……"

"However, there is a type of cell that not only destroys the suicide mechanism during the replication process, but also has a perfect camouflage ability during the mutation process. While unable to commit suicide, it can also escape the destruction of the immune system and secretly survive in our body organs... ..."

"They will not commit suicide, nor can they be killed by the immune system. These are what we call cancer cells. If these cancer cells live safely in the organs, they will not cause much impact on health. It is a pity that the cancer cells themselves The ability to replicate has not disappeared due to mutation, it will keep replicating itself..."

"During this process of non-stop replication, cancer cells need to devour a large amount of energy required for normal cell replication. At this stage, cancer is formed!"

"Tsk, our body system is so smart and powerful..."

Through Professor Smith's simple explanation, He Xia probably understood the mechanism of cancer.

"Sorry, Mr. He, I'm a bit long-winded, because if you don't know the above, you may have doubts about the experimental process and results. Next, I will explain the experimental process for you..."

"I first extracted cancer cells from the organs of mice with liver cancer, and used gene writing technology to implant a well-written gene sequence. The main function of this written sequence is to allow the immune system of mice to easily detect cancer. cells, while also having the ability to infect other cancer cells..."

"That is to say, when I replant the rewritten cancer cells in the cancerous part of the mouse, these spy cancer cells will start to work, so that those cancer cells that are not recognized by the immune system will take off their camouflage. After a period of time , the immune system will gradually discover those cancer cells that have thrown away their masks, and finally rely on the immune system to kill them!"

Professor Smith was in high spirits, and he was spitting all over the place. He really needed a protective mask...

He Xia felt that he had heard what Professor Smith said before, but it was later confirmed that it was just a gimmick operated by the scientific research team, in order to expand its influence and attract investment...

"Cough, Professor Smith, that, please calm down first."

He Xia was full of anticipation when he came here, but seeing a major breakthrough in front of him, he couldn't help but have various doubts in his heart. The breakthrough of this technology is really of great significance!
Big enough to change the status quo of today's medical care, big enough to benefit countless human beings...

Cancer is the number one enemy of human health. The mortality rate is too high, but the prevalence rate is not so low, especially with the deterioration of the natural environment, coupled with the various technologies of unscrupulous businesses, the prevalence of certain cancers The number is increasing.

If what Professor Smith just said is true, He Xia feels that he has seen an extremely bright future, but he feels that things should not be that simple, after all, there is still a long way between mice and humans.

"I know that these things may be hard to believe for a while, but Mr. He, the experiment records are here. This is the record of a new round of experiments. All the records of the previous ten years are preserved. If you want to see it, you can go to the UK Go get it!"

Professor Smith handed over the materials to He Xia.

"Professor, I don't want to read the experiment records, just tell me the results."

He Xia shook her head with a smile. Just the densely packed text and icons on the stack of documents made people dizzy. It definitely had the same hypnotic effect as Zhou Shiyu's bedroom collection.

"No problem, Mr. He!"

Even if Professor Smith came to explain, he still needed the experimental records as a reference. He spread out the stack of records, and began to explain to Xia He, how to find the mice with cancer at first, and then how to operate them. The mice reacted at various stages, final disease outcome.

"The whole process is like this, and there is no phenomenon of rejection in the whole process, the experiment is successful! This is the only case for the time being..."

One success is not representative, but it is definitely historic.

"Is this the guinea pig receiving treatment?"

He Xia asked, pointing to a small white mouse running around in a glass aseptic chamber.

"Yes, Mr. He, it's this lucky little guy. It doesn't have a name yet, why don't you give it a name?"

There was light in Professor Smith's eyes. Before this lucky little guy, I don't know how many unlucky people have sacrificed, but the progress of science and technology is so cruel, and there is no progress without sacrifice.

It will never be possible to promote development gently!
He Xia leaned down to keep his eyes level with the little white mouse's, and watched carefully. The little white mouse seemed to feel the gaze, and ran to the glass and stood up to look at He Xia.

"Little guy, you are of epoch-making significance! You will be called...Professor from now on. Is it male or female?"

He Xia turned his head and asked, combining all the information, he believed Professor Smith's words.

Professor Smith walked up to He Xia, looked at the little white mouse with very gratified eyes, and said with a smile, "It's a female mouse, Mr. He."

"Mother mouse, well, then you will be called Anna from now on, little white mouse Anna!"

He Xia quickly made a decision.

"Anna, hahaha, Mr. He, this is such a good name, I believe it will be recorded in history!"

Professor Smith was very happy and called the mouse by Anna's name many times.

The little white mouse Anna looked at the huge cheek in front of her in a daze. With her level of intelligence, it was impossible to know what she had experienced, let alone how great the things that happened to her were.

Staring at the big happy face for a while, feeling nothing interesting, the little white mouse ran away...

"Professor Smith, if the experimental process and experimental results are as you said without any errors, then I congratulate you on your success!"

He Xia stood up straight and gave Professor Smith a hug.

Professor Smith, who had been agitated all the time, calmed down, took a long breath, and said, "Mr. He, I didn't dare to announce it to the public before, and even in order not to arouse all kinds of suspicions, I could only study it slowly by myself. Now the experiment has achieved a breakthrough. Progress, I think it's time for special research and development..."

"Of course! Special research and development is required!"

He Xia immediately agreed, and they have already achieved phased success, and if they don't invest manpower and material resources, how long will it take? However, he changed the subject and said, "Professor, don't you plan to apply for the award first?"

In He Xia's view, such a major technological breakthrough deserves the Nobel Prize in Medicine!
He remembered that Professor Smith cared about fame very much, but he didn't care much about benefits. For such a person, he must be given enough reputation.

"Application for an award? Haha..."

Professor Smith smiled strangely, and said: "Mr. He, I don't think it's a good time to apply for an award. This technology is based on gene writing. Have you forgotten what attitude those guys have towards gene writing technology?"

It's not that Professor Smith doesn't want to apply for awards, he dreams of writing his name in history, but judging from the current situation, he has no way to apply for awards, especially the Nobel Prize in Medicine!
Strictly speaking, his experiment is currently between light and darkness. One step further is the medical research in the dark world, and one step back is to completely abandon gene programming and only study the positive side, which is the bright medical research team .

In this case, the top awarding organization will conduct a very strict review, and there is a high probability that it will not pass, and the ethics committee and those politicians who do not know the so-called may cause a series of troubles for the laboratory.

And it's not interesting to apply for some small awards. It's better to wait until the experiment is really completed and make a big splash!
