113: Chapter 113 Discovering the Secret of Genetic Viruses

Chen Yu saw several students about to make a move on him, trying to force him into a protective suit.

Chen Yu sighed. He knew Professor Chen meant well, so he explained, "Professor Chen, I really don't need to wear a protective suit. My body has been strengthened, and this virus has no effect on me!"

Chen Qingzhi's eyes widened. Strengthened body? As an expert in the field of biological science,

he had collaborated with the military for many years, researching numerous human body strengthening and modification projects. When the United States dispatched biochemical Cyborg (modified humans) to cause trouble in Yanxia previously,

he even obtained blood and tissue samples left by those modified humans for research.

"Mr. Chen, why do you look different from those strengthened individuals from the United States?"

Chen Qingzhi believed that human body strengthening and modification would result in individuals looking like those modified humans from the United States—big, burly, and resembling the Hulk.

Chen Yu chuckled when he heard Chen Qingzhi's understanding of biochemical modified humans.

"Haha, Professor Chen, my technology is years ahead of the United States, so you absolutely don't need to worry about me getting infected!"

Since Chen Yu's body was already strengthened and he insisted on not wearing a protective suit, Chen Qingzhi had no choice but to compromise.

He needed to focus his energy on researching the virus with Chen Yu, to quickly develop a cure or vaccine.

Chen Qingzhi eagerly asked,

"Mr. Chen, what are your thoughts after observing this virus?"

Chen Yu used the instruments to test the virus's ribonucleic acid and reviewed the previous research reports from Yanxia's biological scientists.

He then concluded that this virus only targets a dominant gene in the pure bloodline of Yanxia people.

"Professor Chen, I already have preliminary research results. This virus works by affecting a dominant gene in our Yanxia people. Therefore, I only need to start from this point. Next, I will conduct some experiments, and I believe that within three days, both a cure and a vaccine will be available!"

Chen Qingzhi's eyes widened. Where did Chen Yu get such confidence? But when they had first arrived at Huanyu Technology Park,

everything they saw here was like being in an alien civilization.

The level of technology was something they had never heard of or seen before.

Now that Chen Yu had this confidence, Chen Qingzhi inexplicably believed him.

"Mr. Chen, if you develop a cure, you will be the savior of Yanxia, a sage for all eternity!"

Chen Yu waved his hand. He truly didn't care about such titles at the moment.

Chen Yu's vision was now very broad; he was no longer confined to this small plot of land called Earth.

His future goal was to venture into the stars!

"Professor Chen, there's no need to praise me so much. As a passionate Yanxia person, in the face of such a national catastrophe, it is our undeniable duty!"

"Well said!"

Chen Yu continued to immerse himself in the research of the virus cure and vaccine.

During these days, Chen Yu had been learning various subjects with the help of the intelligent brain, including the field of biological science.

Coupled with the current development of Chen Yu's brain region, it could be said that he was already the strongest medical scientist on Earth.

After just one day of research, Chen Yu had grasped the protein structure of the virus and had completely deciphered the internal genome of the virus.

With the powerful computing power of the intelligent brain, Chen Yu concluded that these gene groups could affect certain specific genes.

And that dominant gene in the Yanxia people's genes was one of the genes that would be affected.

"Hahaha! So that's how it is. These United States devils are quite capable indeed! To be able to research such a virus!"

Chen Yu exclaimed happily in front of an analysis instrument.

If the biochemical genetic scientists of the United States knew that Chen Yu had figured out the results of their decades of research in less than a day,

they would probably be dumbfounded.

Chen Qingzhi and his students, who were busy nearby, were all simultaneously drawn by Chen Yu's excited shout.

Chen Qingzhi stepped forward and eagerly asked,

"Mr. Chen, have you made any new discoveries?"

Chen Yu said excitedly,

"Professor Chen, I have already found the reason why the virus targets the Yanxia people's genes. Next, I will experiment with some drugs to test their tolerance reaction to specific viral genes. Once I find drug components that can kill the virus, we can create targeted drugs specifically for this virus!"

Chen Qingzhi was shocked, and his students around him were also shocked.

Although these were only Chen Qingzhi's students, they were all top performers in the national medical field.

They, of course, understood what Chen Yu meant.

In less than a single day, they had already found the reason for the virus's targeting of Yanxia people's genes within the viral gene sequence.

This was simply a fantasy, at least impossible to achieve in the current medical field on Earth.

Chen Qingzhi's eyes widened as he said,

"Mr. Chen, have you really found which specific gene sequence in the virus affects the genes of the Yanxia people?"

"Yes, come over here, I'll show you my research results!"

Chen Qingzhi walked over to Chen Yu's workbench and looked at the data on the instrument, as well as the dense white and black grids.

These were gene encoding sequences, which only experts in this field could understand.

Chen Qingzhi couldn't see clearly through the protective suit, so he gritted his teeth and completely took off the heavy protective suit he was wearing.

The students nearby gasped when they saw Professor Chen actually taking off his protective suit!

"Professor Chen, why did you take off your protective suit!"

"That's right, what if you get infected? You're over 60, your immunity isn't what it used to be!"

However, Chen Qingzhi waved his hand and said excitedly,

"It doesn't matter! This old bone of mine won't die that easily. Besides, I believe in Mr. Chen's research results; he will definitely be able to create a cure!"

After taking off his protective suit, Chen Qingzhi felt refreshed.

He stepped forward and stared intently at the data and gene codes on the instrument at Chen Yu's workbench.

The more Chen Qingzhi looked, the more shocked he became!
