Science on the Rise: Starting with Cell Editors

　　Because AIDS is not only a matter of 4000 million AIDS patients, but also threatens the safety of everyone in the world.

　　Witnessed by these reporters, clinical trials finally began.

　　Zhou Xiaoyu was the first to inject the drug.

　　This 12-year-old girl, skinny and pale, always had a smile on her face, which aroused the curiosity of many reporters. When everyone knew what happened to her, they felt more distressed and happy for her, as long as the clinical trial If it goes well, she can run happily in school like her peers.

　　Immediately after, other volunteers also injected the drug.

　　Since the new macrophages will not cause burden and damage to the patient's body, and there are no sequelae, the number of new macrophages contained in each medicine is relatively large, and the treatment effect is more significant.

　　Two hours later, tests showed that the amount of HIV in all volunteers had dropped by about 15 percent.

　　After ten hours, tests showed that the amount of HIV in all volunteers had dropped by about 52 percent.

　　The next day, the amount of HIV in all the volunteers was almost the same as that of the mild patients, and the complexion was obviously much better, because HIV has been destroying the body's immune system, and now more than half of HIV has been eliminated, immune system The system will be able to show its power, and the body will gradually improve.

　　The news immediately caused a global uproar.

　　Although clinical trials are not over yet, people have seen the dawn of defeating AIDS.

　　On the third day, the test results showed that 37 volunteers, including Zhou Xiaoyu, could not detect HIV, which means they may have recovered.

　　On the fourth day, test results showed that none of the volunteers could be tested for HIV.

　　At this moment, the whole world is boiling.

　　The global media went crazy with coverage.

　　At this time, Lu Li received a call from Director Wu: "Lu Li, congratulations, the clinical trial has been a complete success, and you have won the highest national science and technology award and the Nobel Prize next year."

　　"In addition, the production of AIDS drugs should also be put on the agenda. I know that you lack start-up funds, so I have specifically responded to the above, and the above has already arranged. You can use the patent of single-base gene editing technology as collateral. , get a 10 billion loan from ICBC, this money is enough for you to build a production line."

　　After listening to Director Wu's words, Lu was overjoyed. He was thinking about how to solve the problem of start-up capital, and this problem was solved.

　　"Thank you, Mr. Wu."

　　Lu Li quickly expressed his thanks.

　　"Don't thank me first, this is also conditional." Director Wu said, "Do you remember what I said to you when we first met? The technology that can cure AIDS is the most important weapon of a great country, and it is the most important thing in a country. It can play a big role in the competition.”

　　Of course Lu Li still remembers it, and he is very happy to cooperate with the country's strategy. Back then, when the chip incident became a big uproar, he was extremely indignant, but his ability was limited and he could only vent his emotions on the Internet. Now he has developed a special effect of AIDS. Medicine, of course, is willing to contribute.Besides, the country has already given him a lot of help.

　　"Mr. Wu, tell me, how do you need me to cooperate?"

　　Lu Li said.

　　Director Wu said: "In fact, you don't need to do too much, there are two main points. First, technology cannot flow abroad. Even if technology is transferred or licensed to domestic enterprises, it must be reported. After all, the current yellow skin There are too many people who have no heart, and it is difficult to confirm whether the people who have acquired the technology will take the technology abroad. Second, the specific country to which the AIDS medicine is exported needs to cooperate with the country.”

　　Lu Li agreed without thinking, "No problem."

　　For him, this is no loss at all, it is nothing more than selling it to other countries later.

　　Of course, governments may hold a grudge for this and write him down in their notebooks.However, he is not worried. In his plan, various drugs for the treatment of terminal diseases such as cancer and genetic diseases will be launched in the future. It is also possible to develop products similar to genetic evolution fluids. If these countries do not want to let the domestic people If you are violent, you will not dare to do anything to him.

　　Besides, his desire for money is not very high. The domestic market is enough for him to earn more money than he can spend in his life. If the foreign market does not welcome me, then I will not go.

　　"I knew you would say that."

　　Hearing that Lu Li's promise was so straightforward, Director Wu smiled happily.

　　The two chatted for a while, then hung up the phone.

　　Not long after, another call came in: "Mr. Lu Li, hello, I'm the president of ICBC Qingda Sub-branch, I'm calling you, it's about the loan, the funds are ready, you have the relevant documents. Come and go through the formalities, and you can get the account immediately."

　　"Okay, I'll set off right now, I'll be there in half an hour."

　　After speaking, Lu Li hung up the phone and walked out.

Chapter 40 System upgrade, a powerful new function

　　"Lu... Mr. Lu Li!"

　　Lu Li just walked out not too far when he suddenly heard a voice full of excitement.

　　He followed the voice and found that it was Zhou Xiaoyu's mother. She was holding Zhou Xiaoyu's hand and preparing to leave the hospital. Beside her, she was also followed by some reporters and hospital staff.

　　"Mother Zhou, hello."

　　Lu Li greeted Zhou's mother with a smile, and waved to Zhou Xiaoyu.

　　However, at this moment, an unexpected thing happened. Zhou's mother let go of Zhou Xiaoyu's hand, knelt down to Lu Li with red eyes, and said in a choked voice, "Mr. Lu, thank you! Thank you. If it wasn't for you, the little fish wouldn't be able to live for long, and if the little fish were gone, how could I live!"

　　This scene made everyone around them stunned, but if they had experienced the desperation of Zhou's mother, they would fully understand Zhou's mother's actions.

　　Lu Li was also slightly taken aback, he quickly helped Zhou's mother up, "Zhou mother, you mustn't do this, I can't bear it, I just did my share."

　　At this time, the surrounding reporters also rushed over and excitedly asked questions.

　　"Mr. Lu, when will the AIDS drug be released?"

　　"Mr. Lu, how are you feeling now?"

　　"Mr. Lu, can I do an exclusive interview with you?"

　　So far, Lu Li has only been interviewed twice, once when he walked out of the college entrance examination room, and once when he held a scientific and technological achievements conference in the Great Hall of the People. Therefore, these reporters really wanted to interview Lu Li.

　　However, Lu Li shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I have something to leave."

　　After speaking, he hurriedly left under the escort of Ning Wei and others.

　　Looking at his back, Zhou's mother said to her daughter, "Xiaoyu, you must remember him. If you have a chance in the future, you must repay others."

　　"Well, I remember."

　　Zhou Xiaoyu stared at Lu Li's retreating back, keeping the other person's appearance in his heart.

　　……

　　Lu Li's mood is not calm, even if he is already in the car, the scene just now echoed in his mind, which made him feel a kind of feeling of giving roses to the hand.

　　In the driver's seat, Ning Wei was also full of emotion, and at the same time felt that his work was more meaningful.

　　Although the target he protects is not on the battlefield, a drug he randomly researches can save tens of millions of people. His value is no less than an army!

　　"Even if I take my life, I can't let Mr. Lu have an accident."

　　Ning Wei said secretly in his heart.

　　Immediately, he started the car and drove forward.

　　At this moment, a series of voices suddenly sounded in Lu Li's mind.

　　"Ding! The first drug developed by the host has been a complete success. Now rewards are being distributed, and the system is being upgraded..."

　　"update completed."

　　"Enables a new feature of the cell editor: you can incorporate any cell into your own body."

　　"I hope you enjoy yourself."

　　Along with this series of voices, a stream of information flooded into my mind.

　　"This... this function is too powerful."

　　Lu Li's face couldn't help showing a look of joy.

　　Integrate any cell into your body... This function may seem like nothing, but it is actually a powerful one!

　　For example, he can integrate the cells of the tardigrade into his body, and then he can perfectly control the cells of the tardigrade. It only takes a certain amount of time for him to study the secret of the tardigrade's genes.

　　Water bears are the most powerful creatures on earth, they can endure high temperature, extreme cold, high pressure, radiation and even the cosmic vacuum!

　　If he masters the secret of the tardigrade's genes, he can create a creature as powerful as the tardigrade, and even modify himself to have the same strong survivability as the tardigrade.

　　Of course, it is risky to modify oneself, and it may lead to the direct collapse of gene chains and chromosomes.

　　For example, he can also integrate the cells of plants into his body, and then he can perfectly control the cells of plants and study the genes of plants thoroughly.

　　Then, he might be able to make humans photosynthesize like plants, inhaling carbon dioxide and producing oxygen.

　　The more Lu Li thought about it, the more excited he became.

　　Countless ideas popped up in my mind.

　　……

　　at the same time.

　　A reporter has already uploaded the scene just filmed in the hospital to Douyin, which has aroused many discussions. However, even without this video, the Internet would have exploded long ago.

　　There was a big anchor on Douyin who shouted with tears in his eyes during the live broadcast.

　　"Friends, there is one thing I have been holding down in my heart and I dare not tell anyone, but now I finally dare to say it out loud. In fact, I am also an AIDS patient. I was admitted to the hospital due to bronchopneumonia and was infected when I received a blood transfusion. Yes, there are many other examples like mine. During this time, after the broadcast, all images of death appeared in my mind. If it wasn't for the purpose of earning some pension money for my parents, I might have quietly found a place to end this episode. life."

　　"But just now, the clinical trial of the AIDS drug has been a complete success, which shows that AIDS, which has killed 3900 million people so far and is incurable, is no longer a terminal illness, and only needs to inject a few AIDS drugs. AIDS can be completely cured! Yes, from now on, treating AIDS is as easy as treating a cold!"

　　"Here, I would like to thank Lu Li. His invention can save countless people and families. For all AIDS patients, his greatness is unparalleled!"

　　Many HIV-infected people heard the news and came to the host's live broadcast room, and said excitedly on the barrage: "We are saved! We are saved! We don't have to wait to die!"

　　Other viewers in the live broadcast room also posted barrages.

　　"Fuck! F*ck! F*ck! Cuntong.com, I just found out about this!"

　　"It's been in the news for a long time, but it's not until now that the clinical trial has been successful that we can really celebrate and cheer."

　　"Apart from being awesome, I don't know what words to use to describe Lu Li. In other words, he should be able to win next year's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, right?"

　　"Although the vast majority of HIV-infected people are self-inflicted, there are also some poor people like the anchor. Congratulations to the anchor, you can sleep peacefully today."

　　"Anyway, it's a good thing that a special drug for AIDS has been researched. The key is that it was researched by the people of Longguo, so it's even more gratifying."

　　"Damn, didn't Xinguo ban the sale of chips to us? I hope we can ban the sale of AIDS medicines to Xinguo!"

　　"+1, it must be banned. If Xingguo wants to buy AIDS medicine, it must restore the supply of chips. Hey, it's still a little uncomfortable to think about it. We still can't live without Xinguo's chips. If one day, our It would be nice if chip technology could also lead the world.”

　　These audience members are full of enthusiasm, their expressions are full of pride, and they are proud of Lu Li!Proud of the motherland!
