Chapter 33 Chimpanzee Caesar

A silver Chrysler drove into the State University of New York, and Sean and Harry were studying at Stony Brook. This school is located in the suburb of Long Island. It is a famous research-oriented public university in the United States and enjoys a high academic reputation worldwide. , has the reputation of "Public Ivy".

The car drove into the school, along a lush tree-lined path, and finally stopped in front of a rather old-fashioned white building complex. This place was originally a laboratory built inside the school. Many famous figures in the scientific community, even several Two Nobel Prize winners all came from this place, which was later bought by Norman Osborn and handed over to Dr. Conners as a research site.

It recently changed hands again, bought out by a businessman from Hell's Kitchen, and it now belongs to Kurt Conners.

Of course, Harry, who got out of the car, didn't know the inside story. He took a deep breath, and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. After talking with Sean a few days ago, he carefully read the research data sent, and then handed it over to The scientific research department of Osborne Industries conducted an evaluation, and the result was that the profit prospect of this new drug was extremely considerable.

So Harry, who was still a little skeptical, decided to go there himself. If the final result satisfied him, then saving the crisis of Osborne Industry would no longer be a hopeless thing.

"Harry, you came earlier than I thought." Sean and Dr. Conners stood on the steps, and they seemed quite happy with the arrival of the guests. "Go shopping first, or go to see Caesar directly?"

"Walk with me, I've never been here before." Harry smiled, he didn't want to show himself too impatient.

Sean nodded, and said to Dr. Connors next to him: "Then I will accompany Harry to visit first. Doctor, you go and bring Caesar out. Be careful, that little guy has a bad temper recently."

The dull, one-armed middle-aged man nodded in agreement. He was not good at communication and conversation, not to mention that Osborne Industries once resolutely abandoned Connors when he needed help the most. Therefore, for this huge enterprise facing difficulties , he doesn't have much affection.

Anyway, just leave everything to Sean, this student is always satisfying, and this new drug for brain degeneration was also developed by the other party, and I just participated in some improvement work.

Connors, who turned and left, thought so, he is a pure scientist, and he has always been grateful to Sean who saved himself from the predicament of life.

"Currently the core project of the laboratory is still the cross-species inheritance researched by Dr. Connors. The regeneration of severed limbs also has broad prospects in the medical industry. I think there are still many opportunities for us to cooperate with Osborne Industries."

Sean walked in front and talked eloquently, while Harry followed behind, silently observing this somewhat old laboratory. Osborne Industries has its own scientific research department, and invests a lot of money every year to carry out projects in various fields Research, such as the hang-gliding and human-augmentation programs that preceded it, was accepted as a project to curry favor with the Department of Defense.

Science and technology research and development is an industry that pays great attention to input costs, and it does not always reap returns.As the new president of Osborn Industries, Harry certainly knew that many scientific research projects that seemed to have great potential at first glance were actually just unrealistic dreams, and even if they invested a lot of money, they would not be able to get any returns.

"If Sean is really a scientific genius..."

Harry looked at the young boy who was introducing him to the research room. The boy was about the same age as him, but exuded a steady aura in every gesture, which made people feel convincing involuntarily.

Maybe my friend is really a genius like Tony Stark or Reed Richards, otherwise why would Dr. Connors obey him?
"Hey Harry, why are you here?"

Gwen, who was holding a pile of documents, asked in surprise. She had also heard about the recent situation of Osborne Industries. This classmate who inherited his father's business had already gone through the formalities of suspending his studies. How could he appear in Dr. Connors' laboratory?
"Sean has a great product. I'll come over and have a look. Maybe it can bring the company back to life." Harry winked at Sean next to him. The experienced Master Osborne, of course, could see Gwen's love for his friend. I have a good impression.

Sean laughed dumbfounded, exchanged greetings with Gwen briefly, and then brought Harry to the center of the laboratory. Dr. Conners had already made preparations and was waiting for their arrival.

"This is Caesar, a chimpanzee from the rainforest of South Africa." Through the transparent glass window, Sean introduced a young chimpanzee sitting in the room, "The DNA of orangutans is very close to that of humans, and the DNA of chimpanzees , the difference with humans is less than 1%, so I chose a chimpanzee as the material for the live experiment."

"What is it doing?" Harry stood in front of the glass window, a little puzzled.

The young chimpanzee named Caesar sat on a chair like an obedient student. There was a shelf on the table and several metal discs of different sizes. The researcher walked in with a plate of fruit.

"The game of Lucasta is to move those disks from one pillar to another. In this process, the large disk cannot be placed on the small disk. The perfect answer is fifteen moves. Caesar can do twenty. In the past few days, it has progressed to sixteen steps."

Harry couldn't believe it. The chimpanzee skillfully moved the metal disc and quickly completed the game, and then the researcher handed over the plate of fruit in his hand.

"This... is incredible!"

Sean was not surprised that Harry would have such a reaction. When Dr. Conners saw it, he also had a shocked expression on his face, "Caesar couldn't complete this game at first, no matter how much we train it, we can't make it think Memory, and then I injected it with a drug called ALZ-112, a gene drug that allows the brain to create cells to repair itself, which in biology is called neurogenesis."

"Of course, you can also take it simpler and regard it as a cure for Alzheimer's disease—that is, a magic medicine for Alzheimer's disease!"

Looking at the chimpanzee in the room who was learning some simple pictures and words, Harry couldn't help feeling excited. This is an unprecedented new drug, which is enough to bring huge returns to Osborne Industries!
"Are there any side effects?" Excited Harry suddenly asked as if thinking of something.

Of course, he will not forget that the human enhancement program that dragged Osborn Industries into the abyss was abandoned by the Ministry of Defense precisely because it could not solve the side effects caused by injections.

"A little bit." Sean looked at the nervous Harry, and smiled slightly: "Currently there is only one side effect of potion 112. For some reason, green spots appeared on the orangutan's iris, but this It should not be reflected in humans."

"How about it, do you want to cooperate, Harry?" Sean stared at the other party calmly, and it was time to make a final decision, "This medicine is not limited to Alzheimer's disease, it is also suitable for different types of brain diseases. Disease, whose potential is limitless, can bring us enormous benefits!"

Harry was silent for a moment, looked at the chimpanzee in the room who was indistinguishable from humans, and made a decision in his mind. With the energy and connections of Osborn Industries, it was enough to get ALZ-112 into the production stage as soon as possible and face the market.

"There is still a human trial to be conducted, Sean. If the results are still satisfactory to everyone, Osborn Industries will become your partner!"

Sean raised his eyebrows, patted Harry on the shoulder and smiled, "Of course, remember what I said?"

"The future belongs to you and me!" The young boy's eyes glistened with strong confidence.
