Science on the Rise: Starting with Cell Editors

　　As for the authenticity of this matter, no one has doubted it until now. It is impossible for a scientific and technological achievements conference to be held in the Great Hall of the People.

　　It was soon three o'clock in the afternoon.

　　Lu Li appeared on the stage in casual clothes, looking like a young student, but at this moment, he was the focus of attention.

　　At this moment, everyone turned their attention to him.

　　"coming."

　　Professor Xu sat in the first row, looking at Lu Li walking onto the stage, a smile appeared on his face.

　　He couldn't be more satisfied with this student of his own.

　　It is probably the dream of all teachers in the world to accept such a student.

　　"coming."

　　A smile appeared on Professor Tian's old face.

　　He looked at Lu Li's handsome young face, and then at the foreign scientist sitting behind him.

　　The smile on his face grew brighter.

　　I have worked hard all my life, and I am getting old, but I only have a lot of fame in China. When I put it in the world, it will not be recognized by many people because there are too many top foreign scientists.

　　But now, you are only 18 years old, but you are standing at the top of the world's biological sciences, and let scientists from all over the world come... see you!

　　"The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves."

　　Professor Tian smiled and said, "But I am willing to be pushed down by you. I rejected the favorable conditions of Xingguo and returned to the motherland to teach and educate people. Don't I just hope that the motherland can emerge as a pillar like you?"

　　Just when Professor Tian was sighing with emotion, the host specially invited from CCTV took the microphone and said: "Dear gentlemen and ladies, thank you for coming to our Longguo scientific research results conference, our Longguo's Lu Li, a young scientist, recently made a major breakthrough in the field of AIDS treatment. He successfully used single-base gene editing technology to edit macrophages and transformed macrophages that can perfectly eliminate HIV. Let's ask Lu Li to explain to us. "

　　After speaking, the host smiled and stepped aside, handing the stage to Lu Li.

　　At this moment, the audience focused on Lu Li.

　　Lu Li didn't panic at all, picked up the microphone calmly, looked down at the audience, and smiled slightly: "Considering that the reporters are all non-professionals, let me briefly introduce macrophages and single-base gene editing technology."

　　"The human body's macrophages are the soldiers of the immune system. They patrol the body 24 hours a day and can devour bacteria, viruses, cancer cells, and other pathogens. However, they cannot fight HIV, but become HIV. A place to thrive.”

　　Following Lu Li's narration, a picture appeared on the large LED display on the side. HIV burrowed into the macrophages and replicated. One became two, two became four, and after a few minutes, hundreds of HIV Drilled out of the macrophage, and the macrophage was dead.

　　"Single-base gene editing technology is a technology that I have developed that can edit genes. Besides genes, what dominates human life is actually the genes in cells. Human life and death, birth defects and cancer are all In this seemingly small set of genes."

　　"I just used single-base gene editing technology to modify the genes of macrophages, so that macrophages can recognize and eliminate HIV, and also recognize and eliminate HIV-infected cells. In the future, this technology is also expected to It is used in the treatment of various diseases such as cancer and rabies.”

　　Following Lu Li's narration, the screen of the LED display changed in real time, and everyone could see that the transformed macrophages were simply the natural enemies of HIV, one HIV at a time.

　　Next, Lu Li briefly talked about some basic things. As for the details and the key, of course, he will not reveal it.

　　Moreover, the purpose of this scientific and technological achievements conference is not to tell others how I conquered AIDS, but to tell the world that our Dragon Kingdom has conquered AIDS!

　　"The following is the question-and-answer session. Whether it is reporters or the audience, there are opportunities to ask questions."

　　After Lu Li finished speaking, the host walked over again and said with a smile.

　　The first opportunity to ask questions was a professor from Qing University.

　　The professor asked: "Student Lu Li, I have two questions. First, the human body has a rejection reaction. The macrophages you are going to use for AIDS patients are foreign bodies. After entering the patient's body, they will be affected by the patient's immune system. Have you solved this problem? Second, macrophages have the ability to divide. In this case, after eliminating the HIV in the patient, these macrophages will continue to divide. Will this cause the patient? Unknown risks?"

　　These two questions are normal questions, and they are not difficult to ask.

　　Therefore, Lu Li also smiled and said, "Thank you for your question. Regarding the rejection reaction, the macrophages that I have modified have added a special genetic code, which makes them immune to attacks by the patient's immune system."

　　"Regarding the division of macrophages, I have also solved this problem through biological gene lock technology. Those macrophages that will be imported into patients will be genetically locked and lose the ability to divide. When they reach the limit of their lifespan, they will It will die naturally without any residue."

　　The voice fell.

　　Scientists from abroad such as John O'Keefe and Raymond couldn't help but widen their eyes!

　　They have seen Lu Li's paper on biological gene lock technology.

　　But what is written in the thesis are some principle things.

　　Therefore, they only know that this is an epoch-making technology, and they have no idea how far Lu Li can use this technology.

　　But now, they know.

　　Lu Li can actually use the biological gene lock technology to control the number of cell divisions!

　　This is really amazing!

　　With their current knowledge, they can't imagine how Lu Li did it!

　　At this moment, they feel that their IQ is not enough!

　　At this time, the host has selected the second person who has the opportunity to ask questions. This person happens to be Professor John O'Keefe from Harvard University, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

　　John O'Keefe said excitedly in English: "Mr. Lu Li, hello, I'm John O'Keefe, I'm a professor at Harvard University, I came to Long Country, I originally wanted to ask you some academic questions, But at this moment I found out that you have more genetic knowledge than I do.

　　So, I would like to invite you on behalf of Harvard University to be a professor at the Harvard School of Life Sciences, with a salary of $100 million a year, of course, for you, this is not a lot, even a small amount , but Harvard University will fully support you in terms of scientific research funding. In addition, you can easily communicate with the top biologists in the star country. According to statistics, the world's top scientists in the biological field now have Half of it is in Starland, where you will progress faster and you will have a higher level. "

　　(Big guys, ask for a reward, ask for evaluation tickets, monthly tickets, flowers.)

Chapter 35 Is This Human Talk?

　　at this time.

　　In Lu Li's house, in front of the smart TV, Lu's father and Lu's mother were staring at the TV screen. Beside them, there were several reporters who came to interview, as well as more than a dozen neighbors in the community.One of the reporters spoke good English and translated John O'Keefe's words in real time.

　　When the words fell, the neighbors held their breaths.

　　They have all heard of Harvard University, which is the number one university in the world. Now they have taken the initiative to invite Lu Li to be a professor, with an annual salary of up to 100 million US dollars!

　　A million dollars!Many people can't earn it in their lifetime, right?

　　Although Lu Li doesn't necessarily agree, just being invited by Harvard University is already a great honor!

　　Dad Lu and Mom Lu were a little confused.

　　They didn't want Lu Li to go to Harvard University, it was too far and it was difficult to meet.

　　But if Lu Li wanted to go, they would support him.

　　That's the hard part of being a parent.

　　Experimental class WeChat group.

　　The friends also chatted.

　　"We haven't even gone to university yet. Lu Xueshen has the opportunity to become a professor at Harvard University. This gap is too big... I feel like I've been hit by [-] critical hits."

　　"Do you think Lu Xueshen will agree?"

　　"There is a certain possibility that Harvard University is the best university in the world, and Xingguo's technology is much stronger than our country as a whole. If Lu Li goes there to develop, progress will indeed be faster."

　　"However, Lu Xueshen has now become an idol in the hearts of many people. If he goes to Xingguo, many people will be disappointed, right?"

　　"This...how to say, even if you go, it's not that you don't come back. You can come back after you have learned some advanced Western knowledge."

　　"I don't think Lu Xueshen will go, there is no reason, it's just an intuition."

　　……

　　At the scene, Professor Tian's expression was a bit complicated, and his eyes were focused on Lu Li.

　　He didn't know whether Lu Li would agree to John O'Keefe's invitation.

　　If you agree, and then never return... This will be an immeasurable loss to the Dragon Kingdom.

　　The eyes of the others also focused on Lu Li, waiting for Lu Li's reply.

　　This is no small matter.

　　Long Guo just held a high-profile press conference announcing that Lu Li had conquered AIDS.

　　If Lu Li went abroad in the next second and became a professor at Harvard University, it would be a joke.

　　At this time, Lu Li smiled and shook his head: "Thank you for your invitation, but I refuse."

　　Refused!

　　Professor Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

　　Director Wu of the Institute of Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences also breathed a sigh of relief.

　　Many people were relieved.

　　John O'Keefe said with some doubts: "Can I know why? If it is a question of treatment, I can apply to the school board, and they should be happy to improve the treatment. If it is another problem, you can also tell me, I will Do your best to help you."

　　Lu Li smiled and said: "It has nothing to do with the treatment. The technology I have in the treatment of AIDS has already allowed me to earn more money than I can spend in my life. I refuse because I don't think the biological world of Xingguo can It has helped my progress, in fact, I feel that in the field of biological sciences, especially in the field of genetic technology, there is no one who can help me improve, and I can only rely on myself if I want to improve."

　　The voice fell.

　　The whole place is fried.

　　Although Lu Li looked humble, what he said was extremely arrogant.

　　"No one can help me improve. If I want to improve, I can only rely on myself."

　　Listen.

　　Is this human talk?

　　It's like saying: I'm not targeting anyone, I'm talking about biologists around the world, and none of them can fight.

　　To be honest, this is the first time everyone has seen such an arrogant scientist.

　　"Cough cough..."

　　Professor Xu couldn't help rolling his eyes, this student of his own is fine with everything, he just likes to pretend!In a place of this level, I couldn't help but pretend to be forceful!But fortunately, although Lu Li likes to pretend to be forceful, he is telling the truth, not fooling around!In this world, no one really can teach Lu Li, at least in the field of biological sciences!

　　"This……"

　　"This bastard."

　　Xu's father and Xu's mother also looked at each other in dismay, and couldn't stand it any longer.

　　Experimental class WeChat group.

　　The friends chatted lively.

　　"Let me go, Lu Xueshen has gone further and further on the road of pretending to force."
