Chapter 1098: Chapter 543: Dong Liping: This is Absolutely Impossible!_1

The RD region detection protein’s response to cellular gene mutations was absolutely a major discovery in cancer research.

The detection protein is responsible for the normal operation of cells, acting like an internal ’censorship department’, examining each part’s function to ensure the normal work within the cell, yet it is subject to many limitations—the performance of the inspection requires many detection proteins to mutate before it can be effective.

For example, when cells are damaged externally or infected with a virus of significant virulence, a large number of detection proteins will mutate, leading to an inability for the cell to function normally, resulting in immediate death.

RD region detection proteins mainly target DNA and RNA. Viruses carry genetic material, containing RNA fragments, and during the invasion process, they will be detected by RD region proteins, thereby losing their genetic function.

This is how cells resist viruses.

Some viruses with stronger hiding abilities only cause mutations in some RD region detection proteins—because the number is too small, they cannot affect the whole, and their detection effect is completely suppressed.

Nevertheless, the role of RD region detection proteins is significant—identifying some mutations in RD region detection proteins allows for targeted research.

Cancer originates from mutations within the body’s own cells. There have been no findings of RD region detection protein mutations related to cancer cells.

Now with the confirmed signal of mutations, research can be conducted in this field, and perhaps corresponding medications can be developed.

Zhao Yi thought about amplifying the signal of detection protein mutations, allowing the mutations to truly affect cell operation. If cancer cells cannot function normally, they will undoubtedly be unable to divide further and will simply wait to die.

In fact, the RD region detection protein’s response to cellular gene mutations is already an impressive achievement.

But Zhao Yi believed it was just the beginning—he still needed to apply for projects and accelerate the development of related treatment methods. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

He still remembered He Jinsheng.

He Jinsheng, suffering from cancer, could not wait much longer.

If it were friends or family, he would immediately arrange the best treatment rather than rely on his own research, but he had never met He Jinsheng and had only chatted a few times in a group chat; clearly, their relationship was not to the extent that he would spend a great deal of money on treatment for the other party.

There are too many cancer patients worldwide—he can pay out of pocket to save one, but he cannot afford the best treatment for everyone.

Hence Zhao Yi’s choice was to work hard to develop a universally beneficial treatment method, not just for He Jinsheng but also for many other cancer patients.

He Jinsheng couldn’t wait longer; research and development speed definitely needed to speed up.

Having promised in the group to come up with a treatment method and let He Jinsheng be the first to try it, the words had been spoken, and he had to deliver. After all, one cannot fulfill promises over overgrown graves.

That would be quite embarrassing!

It would still take some time to apply for lab projects and prepare for development.

Zhao Yi occasionally took a break from his busy schedule, teaching a class at the university to fulfill his role as a professor.

That day, Xu Chao made a call.

Xu Chao was always in charge of running Star Billion Technology Company. The company didn’t have much new business, and most of the work was still related to Yutu robots, so he was relatively free.

Zhao Yi only found out what it was about when he picked up the phone. On the other end, Xu Chao shouted excitedly, "Zhao Yi! Zhao Yi! Have you been keeping an eye on Bitcoin lately? It’s soaring these past couple of days!"

"How much is it?" Zhao Yi asked with some interest.

"It’s seven hundred dollars today!" Xu Chao said with excitement.

Zhao Yi immediately lost interest, "Just seven hundred? I thought it hit ten thousand."

"Ten thousand? You’re dreaming!" Xu Chao really hadn’t expected such a reaction from Zhao Yi. He continued, "Seven hundred is quite significant, remember, you have a lot of Bitcoins, should be worth over ten thousand by now, right? I’ve also kept a few hundred—seven hundred dollars each, that’s tens of thousands of dollars! The ones you have are probably worth millions of dollars now!"

’That’s an underestimate...’

The number of Bitcoins in Zhao Yi’s possession had been continuously increasing, surpassing fifty thousand, with the acquisition halted half a year ago.

Fifty thousand, not a small amount!

He wouldn’t stay in the cryptocurrency circles for the long term—owning fifty thousand could affect market value fluctuations, and continuing to buy wouldn’t make much sense because it would become very difficult to sell later on.

If all the Bitcoins were in his possession, they could be equated to a pile of useless data. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

After some thought, Zhao Yi said, "No matter how much they’re worth, let’s not sell now. Let’s wait a few years, see if it goes above twenty thousand dollars."

"Twenty thousand dollars?"

Xu Chao’s tone clearly displayed his surprise, "Are you dreaming?"

"I’ll do that anyway, you... do as you please," Zhao Yi said indifferently.

"Of course, I’ll listen to you," Xu Chao had immense trust in Zhao Yi. Zhao Yi wasn’t a professional investor, but his investments had almost never lost money, almost all of them wildly profitable.

After discussing Bitcoin, Xu Chao brought up the company he had started with Sun Liang—a small software company, mainly run by Sun Liang.

With funding from Yutu robots and collaboration, they focused on developing sub-products and customer maintenance.

Zhao Yi knew about Sun Liang’s company. Under the brand of Yutu robots, its development was fairly successful, with a staff size exceeding thirty people.

Xu Chao was talking about a problem the company encountered. At the beginning of the year, they took on a large order to develop a control system for a laser equipment manufacturer. Unfortunately, the laser equipment manufacturer ran into cash flow problems and was on the brink of bankruptcy. Unable to attract investment, they could only delay payments.
