In fact, many research findings concerning medical mechanisms cannot be directly proven; at most, experimental data can be made public for everyone to discuss and analyze. However, as long as they do not conflict with officially recognized basic research, they can be considered correct.
Medicine is not mathematics.
Mathematics requires detailed proofs that delve deeply into simple problems for repeated discussion.
No matter how many conclusions support the correctness, without an absolutely logical proof, they will be categorized as hypotheses or conjectures.
Medicine is different.
Although medical mechanism research also requires rigor, because the goal of medical research is to apply it in practice, as long as the results are effective in practice, that’s sufficient.
For instance, if drugs or treatments based on mechanism research directly prove effective, the mechanisms can be considered correct.
Moreover, not conflicting with established results is also vitally important.
The achievements from Zhao Yi’s research institute, which claim there are seven proteins directly related to immune detection—all previously discovered and not conflicting with genetic research—are seen as "temporarily correct" since their mechanism analysis of the immune detection process is logical and coherent, thus can be used for further research.
Many institution representatives, after hearing the report, felt excited because they are well aware of what such achievements represent—a Nobel-level research that has yet to be verified.
If they could be the first to identify people with the same immune characteristics, that would also be a significant accomplishment.
This reflects the relationship between experimental and theoretical physicists.
After a theoretical physicist publishes a theory, if an experimental physicist can verify it, the result is considered remarkable and could even be awarded a Nobel Prize.
They immediately started thinking about trying to find more samples and conducting a series of experiments to identify people with the same immune characteristics after returning home.
Some people were skeptical of the results, but they were definitely in the minority. frёeωebɳovel.com
First, the immune detection mechanism results are coherent with the logic of the human body, providing more refined explanations of immune detection and not conflicting with other research.
For instance, genetics.
The medical field has identified genes that control immune characteristics and has an understanding of gene functions, which is why organ transplantation is possible.
The compatibility for organ transplantation is an aspect of genetic research, not just matching blood types, but also requiring HLA gene typing.
Regarding the immune detection mechanism achievements, it implies that protein sequences need to be more closely matched.
For example, 1234567 and 1234675.
Such sequences have many overlaps, making the differences very small and significantly reducing the immune response.
If the sequences were 1234567 and 2465173, clearly there would be no similarities between them, resulting in a very strong immune response.
Second is Zhao Yi himself.
Zhao Yi’s reputation is simply too prominent, even in the field of medical research, where he is considered not just one of the top in the world, but the top without equal.
His research contributions have already far exceeded the Nobel level and benefitted many people around the world, such as in the fields of AIDS and cancer treatment, where his impact has been immense.
After the research findings presentation concluded, reporters interviewed Zhao Yi to hear his views on the research.
Zhao Yi said, "Let me start with the basics. We are conducting medical mechanism research, that is, analysis of various reactions within the human body."
"Mechanism research is fundamental to the development of medicine and provides essential reference for the development of pharmaceuticals and clinical treatment methods."
"That’s one point."
"Also, in conjunction with genetic research, in the future, we can develop new treatment methods—"
Zhao Yi spoke at length, covering the basics of medical research knowledge to make it more accessible for the public to understand. Many people are unaware of what mechanism research is, and they may feel puzzled by the results, thinking, "What’s the use?" "It would be better to just create drugs," "Knowing the analysis clearly is meaningless," and so on.
In fact, dividing medical research into technology and theory, mechanism research is theoretical, while pharmaceutical manufacturing and other aspects are technical in nature.
Therefore, researchers in biological studies are nominated for membership in the Science Academy, while medical researchers who have created treatments for diseases, like artemisinin that won the Nobel Prize, would be in the Engineering Academy.
Theory and technology are different areas.
Actually, Zhao Yi already had some ideas about applying his immune detection results in clinical settings. He believed that the best approach was to develop a special nanoscale molecular material that could evade the body’s immune detection.
If such nanoscale molecular materials could be created, it would be possible to transplant mechanically fabricated organs into the human body and greatly reduce immune rejection reactions.
Take mechanical organs, for example.
Nowadays, there are many ways to create mechanical organs, which perform quite well, but the biggest problem isn’t technological; it’s the immune response rejection from the body.
Clearly.
Once the issue of immune rejection is resolved, mechanical organs could function properly, and the related technology would certainly experience a massive leap forward.
However, developing the related nanomaterials is extremely challenging, and there’s still a long and arduous journey ahead in medical research.
——
The next day, there was significant news: the transport ship had once again returned to Earth.
This time, the return of the transport ship was calm because it had occurred many times before, and consequently, there were fewer media reports. The return of several dozen moon workers seemed to cause no stir whatsoever.
Of course, media attention was unavoidable.
Some media used large spreads to feature the returning moon workers, and Li Renzhe was prominently listed, largely because the live inspection process gave him a lot of screen time, which added to his fame. His introduction was now much more detailed, and all the words seemed rather exaggerated.
"The youngest microbiologist! The first space microbiologist in the world!"
"A leading figure in microbial mutation research, who cultivated the oxygen-supplying Mutated Red Spirulina by himself, which may become a strategic weapon for mankind to alter the climates of other planets in the future!"
"Top biological prodigy from Yanhua University School of Life Sciences—"
And so on.
Zhao Yi couldn’t help but feel the urge to laugh as he looked at the reports. He did indeed burst into laughter.
The rest wasn’t too bad, at least the title of the first space microbiologist was based on truth.
Top biological prodigy from Yanhua University School of Life Sciences?
What was this all about!
In college, there were quite a few people who knew Li Renzhe. His grades were not great; he was mediocre, barely managing to secure a spot in graduate school.
And now he’s a genius?
Zhao Yi shook his head as he read. He called Li Renzhe to congratulate him on his safe return and mentioned in passing how busy he was and therefore unable to go to "meet the ship".
Li Renzhe immediately expressed his understanding and then ranted at him for a whole minute, declaring he would never go to the moon again. No matter how tempting it was, it just wasn’t worth it.
"If I go again, I’m a dog!" Li Renzhe swore vehemently.
And then Zhao Yi continued to be "busy".
He piloted the newly manufactured flying car, soaring back and forth in the sky for about twenty minutes before landing and simply uttering one word, "Awesome!"
Many people on the ground had been watching. As soon as the car stopped, they eagerly approached him, eyes gleaming, "Academician Zhao, take me up for a spin, will you?"
"I want to go too, line up, people!"
"I said it before during the flight tests, Zhao Yi, you have to let me go first!" Several people, including Edward Witten, Qiu Chengwen, and other international scientists, spoke up impatiently.
This is the Z-wave experimental base.
After receiving the flying car, Zhao Yi, seeing that the surrounding area had flight restrictions and the permissible flying zone was far away, simply decided to come to the Z-wave base.
After all, no one here was in charge.
Cough cough.
Or rather, no one here could be in charge of him.
