139: Good news for cancer patients in the Great Xia Kingdom!
Every parameter Lin Chen spoke of,
the experts and Academicians below grew more shocked.
It was even more unbelievable than what Li Jianguo said yesterday.
Because they had been deeply involved in the field of biological science for many years,
they naturally understood the terrifying nature of this Super Phagocytic Cell.
"How is this possible? How was this achieved?"
Academician Zhang's face was filled with shock, muttering in disbelief.
Using phagocytic cells to treat cancer had been attempted by international authoritative biologists.
But they all ended in failure!
Either they couldn't completely clear all cancer cells, or they were assimilated and devoured by the cancer cells!
Some even accelerated the proliferation of cancer cells.
The final results were all failures.
This led to the phagocytic cell solution never being able to leave the laboratory.
Now, Lin Chen proposed a similar solution.
And he even solved the problems that had plagued countless scientists.
This was an unprecedented breakthrough!
Li Jianguo watched the expressions of the experts and Academicians from the side, a smile blooming in his heart.
"Haha! You questioned Little Lin just now."
"Now you finally know what shock is, right!"
Li Jianguo gloated in his heart.
Recalling his own shock from yesterday, Li Jianguo now felt a sense of elation, like a "freed serf singing songs."
An hour later.
Lin Chen briefly introduced the entire technical proposal.
Until Lin Chen stopped speaking,
the entire conference room was eerily quiet.
Everyone looked as if they hadn't had enough.
They were savoring the content Lin Chen had just explained.
At the same time, besides shock, they also had many technical questions.
A moment later.
Academician Zhang was the first to ask a question:
"Comrade Lin Chen!"
"I'd like to ask, how do phagocytic cells achieve 100% accurate identification of cancer cells? Will they devour other normal cells?"
The problem of phagocytic cell identification has always been a world-class challenge.
It was precisely because it couldn't be solved
that this phagocytic solution was abandoned.
Lin Chen took a sip of water and explained with a smile:
"The Super Phagocytic Cell is modified at its underlying genetic level, allowing it to only devour cancer cells, bacteria, and viruses within the human body!"
"Once it finds that the human body has no abnormal virus cells, it will stop dividing and then slowly die, being expelled from the body through normal human metabolism..."
"Underlying genetic modification?" Academician Zhang was stunned.
He hadn't expected that this would also involve genetic science.
This was one of the most difficult sciences in biology.
Then, Lin Chen continued to explain from the genetic level.
After listening, Academician Zhang felt enlightened.
It was as if all those difficult problems suddenly became clear, and he understood instantly.
Academician Zhang couldn't help but give Lin Chen a thumbs-up, praising, "Comrade Lin, you are the best!"
Following this!
A group of experts and Academicians successively raised various technical questions.
But Lin Chen answered them all with ease.
Every technical question he answered
greatly benefited the experts and Academicians!
It was as if Lin Chen was giving them a vivid master class in biological science.
Until the very end.
All the experts and Academicians in the conference room were left with only emotion.
"Who would have thought! We old bones still have the chance to witness such a groundbreaking achievement in biological science."
"Indeed! It feels like we've lived for nothing all these years."
"Comrade Lin Chen, he is simply a prodigy."
All the experts and Academicians were filled with emotion.
They had to admire Lin Chen's knowledge.
At first, they questioned what achievements Lin Chen, being so young, could have in the field of biological science.
After an hour of explanation,
it completely changed their ingrained thinking.
This might be the difference between talent and genius.
No! It's the difference between talent and monstrous genius.
That was an insurmountable chasm!
It was simply not something an ordinary genius could achieve.
After their shock subsided.
Academician Zhang couldn't help but ask, "Comrade Lin Chen, what about the cost of this cure for cancer? Can it be mass-produced?"
Upon hearing this, all the experts and Academicians turned their gaze to Lin Chen.
This was the most important question!
If there was only technology but no way to mass-produce it, or if the cost of mass production was extremely low,
then it couldn't be widely promoted.
It would also not have any effective impact on the current medical industry.
They waited expectantly for Lin Chen's answer.
Lin Chen saw their eager gazes and said with a smile:
"The cost might be a little expensive!"
Academician Zhang blurted out, "How expensive?"
"The cost of each cure for cancer might reach 10 yuan!"
"Of course, it can be reduced further with larger quantities!"
"Boom!"
This sentence was like a bomb, making everyone's scalp tingle.
"10 yuan??"
"And it can be reduced?"
"Damn it! You call this 'a little expensive'?"
Academician Zhang couldn't help but curse.
Damn it!
A cost of 10 yuan is considered expensive?
Then aren't those cancer treatment drugs from abroad sky-high?
In the past, a single anti-cancer drug cost tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands or millions of yuan!
And they all had to be imported!
Others could set whatever price they wanted!
Crucially, even with money, you might not be able to buy them.
Those foreigners simply wouldn't export them to Great Xia Country.
It wasn't just cancer treatment drugs.
Many other drugs and medical devices were the same.
They were sold very cheaply abroad.
But they took advantage of Great Xia Country's backwardness in medical care.
They all set exorbitant prices, wildly profiting from the people of Great Xia Country.
Until recent years.
Great Xia Country has made more and more breakthroughs in medicine.
The prices of many drugs have also been plummeting.
The most obvious example β heart stent surgery!
In the past, stents were all imported from abroad.
They often cost tens of thousands, or even over a hundred thousand yuan.
Ordinary people simply couldn't afford them!
It wasn't until domestic production emerged that the costs came down.
For a few thousand yuan, one could have a heart stent surgery!
And it was the same for other medical devices.
Imported ones used to sell for tens of millions.
After domestic ones came out, they could be bought for a few million.
It was all because they hadn't mastered the technology themselves.
Now!
Lin Chen's cure for cancer only costs 10 yuan.
For Great Xia Country's current free medical care system, it was simply a blessing!
"Comrade Lin Chen! I thank you on behalf of all the people of the nation!"
Academician Zhang came before Lin Chen and bowed deeply in gratitude.
The others in the conference room also stood up and bowed deeply to Lin Chen in thanks.
Lin Chen was startled and quickly waved his hands.
"Everyone! You're overwhelming me!"
"I merely proposed a technical solution."
"It still requires everyone's collective effort to research and mass-produce this cure for cancer!"
"Everything I do is to serve the people!"
"I only hope that the people of our Great Xia Country can live better and no longer suffer from illness."
Upon hearing this!
Everyone in the conference room looked at Lin Chen differently again.
In fact, after hearing Lin Chen's words, they felt a sense of shame.
They hadn't expected Lin Chen's vision to be so broad.
Crucially, Lin Chen was still so young.
Yet he possessed such great vision and awareness.
This was the most commendable aspect.
He lacked the youthful arrogance and impetuosity.
Instead, he had a composure and responsibility that transcended his age.
Such a young man was truly a blessing to the nation.
Li Jianguo watched everyone's reactions and nodded in satisfaction.
"Now, I announce a decision."
"The cure for cancer project is officially approved!"
"All experts, suspend all previous work."
"Within three days, report to the Xia Academy of Sciences' Institute of Biology."
"We will conduct a closed-door intensive research, striving for mass production within one month!"
As soon as he finished speaking,
the experts instantly erupted.
"I volunteer!"
"Mass production in three months, no problem! With Chief Designer Lin here, it can definitely be achieved!"
"I'll call the school now to suspend all courses and projects!"
Everyone was full of drive, their eyes shining.
