Free Web NovelChapter 1159: Chapter 566: Volunteers, I’ve Already Found Them!_3
Zhang Wei suddenly thought of Yan Yi and teased, "By the way, Xiao Fan, how are things with Yan Yi? I heard you had a date last weekend..."
"What!"
Fan Lei hurriedly denied, "There’s nothing between us, don’t joke about that."
As he spoke, he anxiously looked around, fearful of being overheard by others.
"Are you sure there’s nothing?" Zhang Wei teased with a sly wink, "Why do I feel that every time I see Xiao Yan lately, something seems off?"
"There really is nothing!"
Fan Lei was very certain, but the faint redness on his cheeks still revealed some information. He couldn’t help but think back to that dark night.
Yan Yi had been working late.
He happened to be on duty that day, so he went out to the convenience store, bought some food, and delivered it to her. They naturally started chatting.
During the conversation,
Yan Yi said she was a bit tired.
They went together to the lab’s rest area, which was luxuriously furnished with a large couch suitable for napping, a big-screen TV, treadmill, and other equipment.
While watching TV, they talked about their work at the research institute, and the conversation gradually shifted to their personal lives, and then...
A lonely life, a rare indulgence.
A night too embarrassing to look back on!
Fan Lei carefully recalled the memories, still somewhat unforgettable. Since then, he and Yan Yi hadn’t spoken to each other, and both felt awkward at each meeting, mainly due to the significant age difference.
Fan Lei was slightly older than Zhao Yi, not even twenty-seven yet.
Yan Yi was already thirty-five.
...
As Fan Lei was immersed in reminiscing about that wonderful night, Zhao Yi was deeply engrossed in his data work. He leafed through each document, memorizing key information in his head.
Although there was a lot of data in the documents, he could easily discern what was useful and what was not. Most of the useless data was set aside while the useful information was kept together.
Then, he scanned document by document, gathering the conditions one by one.
After a strenuous three hours of effort, Zhao Yi finally concluded--
The human body’s RD region detection proteins, which react anomalously to cancer cells, are numbered RD-7U8~RD-7V3.
These RD region detection proteins have different principles for their anomalous reactions. Some are due to gene mutation, others due to abnormal replication, and yet others because of too fast gene transport.
The last one was clearly meaningless.
In reality, during the normal activities and reproduction of cells, some detection proteins also undergo anomalous reactions, all just due to ’a slight deviation’ during activity. For example, if a large protein molecule enters a cell, it can trigger an anomalous reaction.
This is the cell’s autonomous detection mechanism.
If the anomalous reaction is very strong, it can prove that there is a real problem with the cell. The signal will significantly affect the cell; otherwise, it’s just a minor ’abnormality’ that won’t have any impact at all.
RD-7U8~RD-7V3 detection proteins, due to this mechanism, had their anomalous reaction signals completely suppressed and did not show any effect.
However, being able to determine the specific protein numbers allows for targeted research.
How can we enhance the anomalous reaction effects of RD-7U8~RD-7V3 proteins?
The method is simple.
Just injecting a sufficient amount of RD-7U8~RD-7V3 proteins into the human body will do. Detection proteins are small molecule proteins that won’t break down when entering the bloodstream and can easily penetrate into the cells.
When there are enough RD-7U8~RD-7V3 proteins inside the cells, there will definitely be a large number of anomalous reactions.
Metabolic reactions can be understood as ’necrosis’; the cell as a whole is certainly affected.
Either they cannot continue to proliferate, or they directly disintegrate, die, or are devoured and eliminated by the body’s immune system.
Wait a second.
The principle does sound very simple, but there’s a very difficult problem, "How to efficiently and specifically extract the RD-7U8~RD-7V3 detection proteins? Or how to produce a large amount of RD-7U8~RD-7V3 detection proteins?"
Zhao Yi studied the data, confirmed the sequence number of the detection proteins, and then convened all researchers for a targeted discussion.
Everyone was surprised when they heard the news, "Zhao Yi, you’ve determined the sequence number of the detection proteins?"
"7U8~7V3?"
"How was the data obtained?" Li Ming asked with great confusion. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
This wasn’t a problem for Zhao Yi.
Although the conclusion was drawn using the Law of Cause and Effect, because there were sufficient conditions, it could be deduced in reverse with the "Connection Law."
He said, "The data curves you produced in the third set of experiments are very meaningful, it can be clearly seen that the signal segments emitted by the detection proteins below serial number 7U2 are different from those above 7U2..."
"Additionally, in the second experiment, the latter detection proteins..."
"The fourth time..."
"The first time..."
"Also, in the overall detection, there is a certain connection between the proteins of Group C and Group B, abnormal reactions..."
Zhao Yi said a lot in one go, each point crystal clear, and everyone completely understood him. But when summarized together, it felt like he was Sherlock Holmes, combining all the conditions and linking them together, pointing out the right direction step by step in an utterly invisible maze.
After he had said everything in one breath, Li Ming took a deep breath and sighed, "Zhao Yi, don’t tell me you completed this in a few hours?"
Zhu Qi also said, "I looked at that pile of materials for over half a month and couldn’t make head or tail of it."
"Can you compare with Zhao Yi?"
"Yeah!"
"Zhao Yi discovered anti-gravity, can you? For data analysis, we still need Zhao Yi! He is the true professional, a real genius!"
"Blah blah blah~~"
Everyone was full of praise.
Zhao Yi smiled and shook his head, then began discussing the next steps, "Now that we’ve determined the sequence number of the detection proteins, let’s not rush to publish the results. Our goal is to find a universal treatment for cancer, that is to say..."
Ai Lixin quickly caught on and continued, "To find out the extraction methods for these kinds of proteins?"
"Exactly!"
Li Ming frowned and said, "Extraction, rather than artificial synthesis. If it is confirmed that the protein is effective, we can conduct related genetic research."
Zhao Yi nodded and said, "So first, we need to extract the protein, then conduct experiments."
"Directly conduct experiments?"
"Yes!" Zhao Yi said, "The research into synthesizing proteins requires a long time, and what we need to do first is to confirm that this treatment method is effective. Only then will there be a reason to research the synthesis method. Moreover, the research on artificial protein synthesis is best done in collaboration with related companies, as the investment required is too large."
"So, what we’re going to do is extract a sufficient amount of the 7U8~7V3 detection proteins and start the experimental phase right away..."
Zhang Wei hesitated and said, "For drug trials, approval from superiors is easy, but volunteers..."
"Don’t worry!"
Zhao Yi confidently smiled and said, "Volunteers, I’ve already found the perfect ones!"
