Chapter 412: Chapter 262: Two Methods to Prove Goldbach’s Conjecture?

Years ago.

Progress was afoot in the project on Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Zhao Yi had put together a conventional research plan into the connection between streptococcal infection and Rheumatoid Arthritis.

The medical field had not yet determined the exact mechanisms of Rheumatoid Arthritis - that is to say how it is triggered. Utilizing a wealth of patient data, they were able to identify common elements of streptococcal infections. In plain terms, many Rheumatoid Arthritis patients had prior histories of streptococcal infection or carried antibodies of the streptococcal bacteria in their bodies.

Zhao Yi’s early research began with the exploration of streptococcal infections, investigating the commonalities between different pathogenic changes induced by the bacteria.

After conducting experiments on lab mice, they identified the commonalities within the blood.

While external factors could indeed lead to blood invasions, the focus of future research would be to identify what changes these factors created within the blood.

Plans for this research were established years ago.

Upon arriving at the lab, Zhao Yi was greeted by the Biomedical Research Institute’s enthusiastic atmosphere. This was not due to his lab project, but rather his latest research accomplishments in identifying a new particle.

"Zhao Yi, extraordinary! You ventured to Switzerland and came back with significant research."

"Should we start referring to you as a physicist now?"

"No one in our country has achieved greater results in physics than you."

This was expected.

The development of theoretical studies of mathematics and physics was relatively weak in our country. Forward-thinking mathematicians and physicists were few and far between, as difficult in achieving groundbreaking results led many to switch their research interests.

For example, conducting research in applied mathematics.

Or becoming an experimental physicist or focusing on nuclear energy research.

And so forth.

No matter how you slice it, the fact that Zhao Yi could return from Switzerland bearing near Nobel-level accomplishments was astonishing.

The people at the Biomedical Research Institute could only marvel.

Some began harboring thoughts like ’Zhao Yi conducting medical research is a waste of talent’ again.

Riding on a tide of praises, Zhao Yi entered the lab, saw the enthusiastic Ai Lixin, Zhang Wei, and Liu Chengjie, and quickly waved them off as he interrupted their forthcoming praises. "I am here to check on our research progress. What have we done since the new year?"

Ai Lixin cheerfully updated him on their work.

Without Zhao Yi, they proceeded according to the routine experimental preparations and embarked on predetermined research projects.

The previously outlined study was aimed to investigate the changes in blood induced by streptococcal infection, and ultimately, the relationship between blood changes and Rheumatoid Arthritis. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Ai Lixin spoke about their latest findings, "We have discovered the antibodies and extracted them."

He brought out a glass container containing an unfamiliar liquid. "This contains those antibodies. We have separated and extracted most of the red and white blood cells."

"What we can confirm is that it contains various antibodies or potentially, minute lymphocytes. By utilizing a staining experiment..."

Ai Lixin patiently explained the process.

The point of his explanation was that they had segregated a significant portion of the known, most abundant cells from the blood sample. However, due to the minuscule size and quantity of antibodies, particularly antibodies specific to certain kinds of bacteria, it was impossible to isolate them purely.

Zhao Yi nodded in agreement.

While the work might sound ordinary and seemed to hold no particular significance, such basic research forms the backbone of all scientific endeavors.

He accepted the glass container from Ai Lixin and used "Correlation Law" to identify its relationship with Rheumatoid Arthritis.

[Using "Correlation Law" will consume forty-seven points of energy. Do you wish to use it?]

"..."

Even though the importance of conducting such tests was paramount, Zhao Yi was still taken aback by the significant energy consumption associated with a single query.

"This can’t be helped!"

Fortunately, his recent trip to Switzerland had rewarded him with a significant amount of Study Coin, so he was no longer the ’Study Coin pauper’ from before.

[Use!]

Zhao Yi shut his eyes tightly and sternly commanded. He then sensed a slight dizziness in his head as Study Coin was rapidly consumed to restore his energy.

"I am fine..."

Now, a single consumption of fifty points of energy just made him feel a tad dizzy. The fleeting sensation was bearable as he quickly analyzed the feedback information.

The information was somewhat vague, "There is a substance in the glass container that has a connection with Rheumatoid Arthritis."

"!!!"

Ever since he began his research, this was the first time Zhao Yi received feedback about a specific substance linked to Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Without a doubt, this was a significant discovery.

Zhao Yi could not suppress the grin on his face. He nodded vigorously as though acknowledging the good work of the lab. He declared seriously, "Going forward, our work should focus on this substance."

"Let’s identify anything related to the Streptococcus bacteria, be it an antibody or anything else. We will use every method at our disposal to test and experiment..."

Zhao Yi spoke with fervor.

Ai Lixin, Zhang Wei, and Liu Chengjie all nodded and listened.

If this had been six months ago, they would have found it ludicrous. Zhao Yi’s status at the Biomedical Research Institute was equivalent to an official researcher and was even better than theirs. But he was in fact a rookie in the field of biomedical research, oblivious to even the most basic knowledge. How could he guide the direction of research?

Things are different now.
