When discussing division of labor and verifying the content of the paper’s conjecture, both Dai Tianqing and Han Hui felt that verifying one or two of the hypotheses would be quite good.
If there are only one or two correct hypotheses, it means that the content is based on basic and simple experiments, and most of it is incorrect, or even all of them are proven to be wrong in these simple experiments.
Now, it is hard to imagine that all the hypotheses are correct.
With a bitter smile on his face, Dai Tianqing said, "We prepared more than a dozen mice and injected the virus into their blood, and designed the initial tests."
"Zhang Wei has done research on myocarditis, and there are a few mice that have been sick for a while, which makes it convenient to do the verification. However, the results of the verifications done from yesterday until today match the process and conclusions of the paper."
Han Hui nodded and said, "We examined the blood of the infected mice, and the proportions, numbers, and changes of various immune cells, serum, and giant cells in the paper are basically consistent with our findings."
"Besides, the analysis of virus development and changes in blood and heart tissues is also almost the same. Although there is not enough data to support it, to some extent, it can be said to be correct."
The two looked at each other and gave bitter smiles.
If the test results were all wrong, it would be easier to accept since conjecture is just conjecture, and most errors are normal. No one imagined they could all be correct.
Although only simple experiments have been done to verify the results, which cannot explain all the problems, at least it can prove that the ’general direction’ is correct. freeweɓnøvel.com
It’s like a car driving on the road. A few cameras capture images of the car passing by at different locations. They can’t prove that the car has been driving nonstop or taking detours, but they do show that the car is heading in the right direction, and if the overall direction is correct, it will eventually reach the destination.
In other words, a lot of the content of the paper’s conjecture is definitely correct.
This correctness ratio could be 30%, maybe 50%, or even more than 60%—all would seem understandable.
As experienced biomedical researchers, Dai Tianqing and Han Hui know what these verification results mean.
Many medical research institutions have conducted studies on the ’mechanism of viral myocarditis,’ receiving hundreds or even thousands of millions national research fund only to find out its pathogenesis. Until now, their research gains are still scarce.
If all goes well, projects like this pathological mechanism study will continue for the next decade or so, and it will still require a huge amount of funding, conservatively estimated to exceed 20 million.
And this is just the national research fund allocation.
The ’mechanism of viral myocarditis’ is a typical disease, and its mechanism research involves the immune logic issues of heart tissues, which can also serve as a significant reference for the study of heart diseases.
Heart disease has become the number one killer of mankind in the 21st century.
The significance of ’viral myocarditis mechanism’ research can be imagined.
Many researchers have devoted their efforts to this project with little gain. However, a rookie who hasn’t even entered the field of biology comes up with a medical conjecture through observing experimental processes where mice suffer from viral myocarditis damage.
And then...
Did they crack most of the mechanisms?
Dai Tianqing and Han Hui feel that all their research has been in vain. Their hard work in learning and research can’t keep up with Zhao Yi observing experiments and proposing logical conclusions in his head.
"Sigh!"
"Huh~~"
After standing in the corridor and staying silent for a long time, the two looked at each other and let out another sigh. The expressions on their faces were quite complicated.
Eventually, it was Han Hui who broke the silence. "You cannot compare yourself with a genius. I’m going back to the experiment."
"I’m going too."
Dai Tianqing took a deep breath and left with mixed feelings.
...
As a matter of fact,
Their feelings might be complicated, but Dai Tianqing, Han Hui, and the two laboratory staff involved in the verification were actually very excited internally.
All the experimental validations were correct!
It means that they may witness a groundbreaking progress!
Although the content is derived from the conjecture paper, they can still benefit from being the first team to carry out the verification, especially when they are the first to validate the hypothesis, under public skepticism. This will definitely draw a lot of attention.
Fame is secondary!
Many participants enjoy the moment of success. They wish that every attempt at verification would be accurate, meaning that they have completely cracked the mechanism problem of viral myocarditis.
All the verifications being done right now are very significant, and everyone is putting 100% effort into them. Some people are staying in the lab to check the results whenever they have time, fearing that any mistakes might affect the conclusion.
At the same time,
There was still a heated debate in the media, but the focus shifted. The attention on Zhao Yi’s paper died down, and another person’s attention went up—
Deng Shufang!
Deng Shufang has truly initiated his hype gene, accepting interviews from reporters. At first, he talked about Zhao Yi’s paper, using it to discuss student education issues. Later, he started to express various opinions on college education, and on the prospect and explanation of domestic medical research. With his image as a ’daring, humorous, and witty’ scientific research and education expert, he quickly rose to stardom, attracting a lot of attention and gaining the favor of many people. freewēbnoveℓ.com
Now when people talk about Yanhua University online, they can easily associate it with the "famous professor Deng Shufang."
