Genius Club Chapter 24 Becoming a Father (1/2)
Lin Xian shook his head:
"I don't know, Teacher Xu."
"You said at the dinner before... that your dignity as a scientist does not allow you to sell this failed product. But I wonder, is there any deeper reason?"
Xu Yun listened and said nothing.
He took off his glasses, held the lenses between his clothes and wiped them back and forth:
"My daughter fell from a slide when she was four years old and became a paraplegic vegetative state. All the experts in the world said there is no possibility of recovery."
"So, why do I want to study hibernation chambers? As a scientist, I know better than anyone how outrageous and impractical it is to study this thing. But..."
Xu Yun put his glasses back on and looked at Lin Xian:
"Everything must be done by the first person."
"If I don't study hibernation cabins, it may take decades or hundreds of years before someone starts to study this project. But my daughter can't afford to wait... She has been lying in a hospital bed for ten years of her life. How many more years can she stay here?"
Having said this, Xu Yun smiled self-deprecatingly:
"Before I developed that failed product, in the past ten years, no one had ever reviewed the progress of the research on hibernating chambers, and no one had come to the hospital to visit my daughter."
"But now you see, there is an endless stream of people coming to see my daughter every day. These cosmetics companies are vying to give me money for research. But are they doing it for hibernation cabin research? No... they don't do it at all. When it comes to hibernation chambers, all they care about is how much money the chemical can make them.”
"But Teacher Xu, I don't think this is a bad thing for you."
Lin Xian felt an inexplicable feeling of closeness to Professor Xu Yun as a teacher and student, so he expressed his doubts straightforwardly:
"If you sell that chemical substance, that failed product in your mouth... you will have enough funds to conduct research, and you will also have more advanced equipment and more advanced laboratories. Is this important to your research topic? Wouldn’t it be more helpful?”
However……
Xu Yun shook his head seriously:
"You think too simply."
"I am a very self-aware person. A technological product like a hibernation cabin that can change the world is definitely not a huge project that can be completed by one person, one research institute, or even one country."
"I never expected that I could successfully develop a hibernation capsule... That is simply a fantasy. All I hope is to ignite this fire and let everyone see the possibility of overcoming the problem of hibernation."
"For example, in the first step, if I can solve the problem of filling fluid for hibernation cabins, more and more scientists and research institutes will inevitably start to invest in the research of hibernation cabins. Only in this way... can there be We hope to build a hibernating cabin within a few years or more than ten years.”
"[And the only thing I can do is just light this fire.]"
Xu Yun bent down.
He pulled the quilt for his sleeping daughter and carefully tucked the corner of the quilt in:
"But do you know what will happen if I sell that failed product?"
Lin Xian shook his head.
He really couldn't guess.
He is not a science student, and to be honest, he doesn't understand the logic.
Could it be that Professor Xu Yun’s sale of the patent for this failed product…can extinguish the fire in the hibernation cabin?
"If I sell that failed product, it will be equivalent to extinguishing the fire in the hibernation cabin."
?
Mind reading?
"Why do you say that, Teacher Xu?" Lin Xian couldn't help but ask.
"Use your brain, young man..."
Professor Xu Yun smiled and said:
"Why are you cosmetic companies here now? Isn't it for the moisturizing properties of the failed substance? Then when we study the hibernation cabin filling solution in the future, will there be more beauty by-products or special drugs? For example, whitening Substances with special properties, anti-aging substances, and scar-removing substances that repair cell activity..."
"If I sell the patent of this failed product and gain huge economic benefits, then it is conceivable that no one will ever study the subject of hibernating cabins in the future. Everyone knows that there will be no breakthroughs in this subject in the short term. , How can there be huge profits from research on beauty products and drugs?”
"To use a buzzword on the Internet, this is called [humanity's technological tree is crooked]. So let's imagine in the future... Once those giant capital companies have mastered the beauty and anti-aging technology and patents for special medicines, do you think they will Will you support the research and development of hibernating cabins?”
"Not only will they not! On the contrary, they will do their best to obstruct and interfere! After all, as long as they stick to the technology and patents, they can always make a lot of money. And once the hibernation cabin is successfully developed, it will be fatal to both beauty and pharmaceutical companies. Strike. They won’t allow this technology to stop them from making money.”
…
That's it... Professor Xu Yun is indeed a scientist, and the height of his logical thinking is directly in the atmosphere.
After his explanation, Lin Xian figured it out.
Simply put, there are two reasons.
First, profit reasons.
Investment in hibernating cabins is a bottomless pit, and you may not see a return for decades or hundreds of years. How can investing in beauty products and medical products yield quick results? Make money quickly?
If Professor Xu Yun made a bad start and made huge profits by selling this failed product, you can imagine how many scientists will invest in the research of such beauty by-products and drug by-products in the future, while ignoring hibernation technology--\u003e\u003e
itself.
This is even more true for the capital market. No one would be stupid enough to invest in research that will not pay back for hundreds of years, but research on beauty and pharmaceutical products can produce immediate results.
Second, it is due to profit reasons.
Capitalists are all evil.
They hold a large number of patents for beauty products and special medicines. Do they hope to see the day when hibernating cabins are successfully launched?
If all difficult and complicated diseases could be solved by hibernating until the future, no one would foolishly spend all their money to buy medicines to treat the disease. They could just hibernate and wait until the future for medical treatment.
As long as the hibernation time is long enough, the level of human science and technology and medical treatment will be higher, and there will be no disease that cannot be cured.
so.
[The people in the world who least hope for the success of the development of hibernating cabins are precisely the beauty and pharmaceutical companies that put Professor Xu Yun on the map! 】
Just like when Edison suppressed Tesla for many years in order to protect his company's interests, it took ten years for alternating current to enter the public eye.
Fortunately, Professor Xu Yun is very smart and saw through this sugar-coated bullet.
"I understand, Teacher Xu."
Lin Xian lamented Xu Yun's wisdom:
"If you sell this chemical with moisturizing properties, people's attention and attention may not return to the hibernation cabin itself for a long time in the future, but to more, more effective and more profitable beauty and pharmaceutical by-products. superior."
"Those beauty companies and the big capital behind them will definitely try their best to prevent the research and development of hibernation cabins so that they can keep absolute profits in their hands."
Professor Xu Yun nodded happily and patted Lin Xian on the shoulder:
"You're right, young man. I have finally managed to get many people to the hibernation cabin project. How can I put out this fire with my own hands?"
"I want to save my daughter. This is the only way. More and more forces must be involved in the development of hibernation cabins. Only then can this problem be solved as soon as possible. I can't let this technology tree go awry from here. Dropped..."
"One day, you will also become a father, and you will understand then. So go back, young man, and bring today's words to you, Mr. Zhao, and ask her not to bother me again. I think she will understand."
"I hope... this is the last time we see each other." 39288962.
