Science on the Rise: Starting with Cell Editors

　　"You...you conquered AIDS? I knew that you are the most powerful in the world!"

　　Qin Wei was stunned for a moment, and soon became so excited that even her voice trembled, it could be seen that she was proud of Lu Li.

　　"Haha, of course I am the most powerful, haven't you experienced it many times?"

　　Lu Li said with a smile.

　　"You! You are getting more and more impolite!"

　　Qin Wei was speechless.

　　Next, Lu Li started to call his mother again. As soon as the call was connected, his mother's voice came from the opposite side: "Son, I heard from your classmate that you found a senior girl to be your girlfriend. If you suddenly called back, could it be that you have killed someone, and you don't know what to do?"

　　"No, absolutely not."

　　With a black line, Lu Li quickly said, "I have good news to tell you. You should have heard of AIDS, right? I have conquered AIDS in the laboratory."

　　call!call!

　　Mom couldn't help gasping for breath.

　　This news is really shocking!

　　That's AIDS!

　　In this day and age, anyone with a little culture has heard that this disease is terrifying, even more terrifying than cancer!

　　Now... overtaken by my son?

　　After a while, my mother recovered: "I... I heard right?"

　　"Mom, don't worry, you heard it right. I have already conquered AIDS in the laboratory. After a while, it should be on the news."

　　hiss!

　　At this moment, my mother's eyes were red with excitement, her heart was full of excitement, and she was too excited. She didn't read much. Her biggest dream was to hope that her son could be admitted to a good university, because she suffered a lot without a degree. Although many people say that going to college is useless, and there are indeed many college students who do not do well, she can see very clearly that 80% of people will be affected by their academic qualifications. Entrance to university is the most direct way to achieve class leap.

　　Fortunately, my son is very ambitious and talented. His grades have always been good. After he was admitted to Nancheng No. [-] Middle School, he always took the first place.

　　At that time, she knew that her son, as long as there were no accidents, would be admitted to Qingbei.

　　As for the top scorer in the college entrance examination, she hadn't thought about it.

　　As a result, her son gave her a big surprise, not only the provincial champion, but also the first candidate in the country to get a perfect score in the college entrance examination.

　　She had thought the surprise was big enough.

　　As a result, my son has conquered AIDS now!

　　That's AIDS.

　　Even if she doesn't read much, she is very clear that just by this one thing, her son can become a world-renowned scientist, can be on TV, and can be written into textbooks!

　　Her tears were about to fall. She never dreamed that her son would be so promising!

　　Lu Li chatted with his mother for a while, then hung up the phone and called his father. The father's reaction was similar.

　　Next, Lu Li called Professor Xu and Professor Tian again.

　　After Professor Xu listened to Lu Li's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then quickly said that he had already set off and could go to Lu Li's laboratory soon.

　　Professor Tian's phone was not connected. He should be in a meeting. As an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Taishan Beidou of domestic biological virology, he often attends meetings.

　　Ten minutes later, Professor Xu came to the laboratory, sweat dripping from his forehead and panting heavily, apparently trotting all the way over.

　　"Little Lu, how did you overcome AIDS? Is that the method you mentioned to me last time?"

　　Professor Xu asked anxiously.

　　"Yes."

　　Lu Li nodded and said, "I used single-base gene editing technology to modify the genes of macrophages, so that macrophages can recognize and eliminate HIV, and can also recognize and eliminate HIV-infected cells."

　　"This this this this..."

　　Professor Xu was a little shocked and speechless. When he heard Lu Li's idea, he didn't think Lu Li would succeed, but Lu Li actually said that he had succeeded in less than a month. is unbelievable.

　　If he knew that Lu Li succeeded in only two weeks, it would be even more difficult to believe.

　　After a while, Professor Xu calmed down and let Lu Li carry out the experiment.

　　Lu Li nodded, and soon the two came to the experimental bench. Lu Li skillfully took out the new macrophages that had been cultivated from the reagent tube, injected them into a petri dish, and then dripped HIV into the petri dish.

　　Immediately afterwards, Professor Xu put the petri dish under the electron microscope and began to observe.

　　Through the electron microscope, he clearly saw the war between the new macrophages and HIV. The new macrophages are like ruthless killers. As long as they encounter HIV, they will rush up and eat HIV into the body.

　　Not only that, but after he cut open some new macrophages that had engulfed HIV, he found that there was no HIV inside the cells, indicating that the new macrophages had broken down HIV.

　　"This...this...this is really incredible."

　　Professor Xu stared at the scene in front of his eyes, and his body began to tremble. AIDS, which has been raging for decades, and which has left scientists all over the world, has been conquered like this?

　　From now on, will treating AIDS be as easy as treating a cold?

　　"This is definitely a major milestone in the history of biological science. It not only means that AIDS is no longer a terminal disease, but also means that gene editing technology has begun to take the stage, and the era of gene therapy is coming!"

　　Professor Xu took a deep breath, looked at Lu Li's handsome and immature face with joy, and said with emotion, "Xiao Lu, no... It would be inappropriate for me to call you Xiao Lu again. Let's just call you by your name."

　　Speaking of which, Professor Xu patted Lu Li on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Lu Li, your achievement has already secured you the Nobel Prize for next year, and you will become the youngest Nobel Prize winner in physiology or medicine. Haha, I didn't win the Nobel Prize myself, but I was able to accept a student who could win the Nobel Prize!"

　　Lu Li smiled and said, "It's all the teacher who taught me well."

　　Professor Xu waved his hand: "I didn't teach you much. You can overcome AIDS entirely by your own ability."

　　Speaking of this, Professor Xu couldn't help but sigh: "I used to think that you still need time to grow, it may take about ten years to become a pillar of the national biology community and a national treasure, but now, you You are already a national treasure, even the highest officials will notice you."

　　"The supreme commander will also notice me?"

　　Hearing this sentence, Lu Li was slightly taken aback, and even a little emotional.

　　at this time.

　　bell bell bell.

　　Lu Li's cell phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and found that Professor Tian was calling.

　　(Big guys, monthly tickets, rewards, flowers, evaluation tickets... Come on.)

Chapter 25

　　Chinese Academy of Sciences.

　　Professor Tian and a group of academicians just came out of the conference room, took out their mobile phones from their pockets, and found that there was a missed call from Lu Li. For Lu Li, he was very optimistic and would be happy to help, not for anything else. Instead, I want more and more young people like Lu Li to grow up. Only in this way can the motherland become stronger and stronger.

　　He didn't think much, then called back and said kindly, "Xiao Lu, what's the matter?"

　　"Professor Tian, ​​I have succeeded. I have successfully grown new macrophages that can effectively eliminate HIV and HIV-infected cells."

　　Lu Li said straight to the point.

　　"what!"

　　Professor Tian exclaimed and said in ecstasy, "When did it happen?"

　　Before Lu Li could answer, he hurriedly said, "Wait for a while, I'll go to your laboratory now, I'll be there soon! Soon!"

　　After speaking, he hurriedly hung up the phone.

　　"Old Tian, ​​what's the matter, so excited?"

　　"You're not too young, take it easy, and be calm in everything you encounter."

　　"Yes, those of us who are older, we must not be too emotional."

　　The academicians next to him spoke in succession.

　　Professor Tian swallowed his saliva and laughed loudly with a red face:

　　"How could I not be excited?"

　　"I tell you, something big happened!"

　　"Just now, a student from Tsinghua University called me to tell me that he used single-base gene editing technology to modify the genes of macrophages. The modified macrophages can effectively eliminate HIV, and HIV-infected cells."

　　"In other words, AIDS has been conquered!"

　　"We Longguo have made a milestone breakthrough in the field of AIDS treatment, and our biotechnology has taken a big step forward, leaving the world behind!"

　　"By the way, this student is only 18 years old!"

　　"Wow", the audience exploded.

　　After listening to Professor Tian's words, everyone was stunned.

　　AIDS has been conquered?

　　Was conquered by an 18-year-old student from our Dragon Country?

　　If it's true, this... this is really a big deal!

　　However, everyone still has some doubts in their hearts. That is AIDS. Even the world's top scientists can't do anything. How could it be conquered by an 18-year-old student? At the age of 18, even if he skips a grade, he is still studying at the undergraduate level at most!Can an undergraduate student handle AIDS?

　　"Old Tian, ​​this kind of thing is not a joke."

　　A bald old academician said.

　　"You don't know me yet? When did I make a joke?"

　　Professor Tian said with emotion:

　　"I know what you're thinking."

　　"How can an 18-year-old student overcome AIDS!"

　　"If it's an ordinary student, of course it's impossible, but that student is different."

　　"You have also heard his name, his name is Lu Li, he has the ability to remember and remember, and has extraordinary learning ability, a professional book, you can study thoroughly in just a few hours, get full marks in the college entrance examination, and then go to the Qing After studying biology for two weeks, he developed a single-base gene editing technology, and the paper was published in the journal "Cell"."

　　"There is no doubt that he is a genius. We have been in the Dragon Kingdom for five thousand years, and talented people have appeared in large numbers. Now there will be talented people, and they are the kind that have not been encountered in a thousand years, and are on the same level as Einstein."

　　"Okay, I won't tell you more. I'll go to his laboratory now. If you also want to witness the eradication of AIDS, you can go with me."

　　After speaking, Professor Tian stepped forward and trotted forward.

　　quiet!
