"The damage is external, unidirectional, and cannot be immunized."
Zhao Yi nodded solemnly.
This was actually the result they wanted to measure.
The new substance itself is secreted by the human immune response, so it will not be rejected by the human immune system. freewёbnoνel.com
Ai Lixin continued, "With this conclusion, we can define this substance, which could be called..."
"Rheumatoid Factor?"
"Teacher Ai." Liu Chengjie said joyfully, "It should be called Zhao’s Rheumatoid Factor, as the project was applied for by Professor Zhao!"
"Right."
"That’s a suitable name!" Zhang Wei also laughed along.
Zhao Yi quickly shook his head, "No, no! For now, just call it Rheumatoid Factor."
If it were a year ago, it would be interesting to think about having something named after him.
Now... never mind!
Zhao Yi felt that his fame should be placed on those super discoveries. A small factor called ’Zhao’s’ was linked to a disease, making it seem as if he had become the disease, which sounded a bit strange.
Next, Ai Lixin began to introduce the experimental measurements in detail.
The basic progress was already apparent, one was knowing how to separate the rheumatoid factor samples, and the other was knowing that under the rheumatoid factor’s environmental characteristics, it attacked normal human cells.
Zhang Wei added several possibilities for the rheumatoid factor’s properties.
Zhao Yi started working.
Causality Law!
Causality Law!
Causality Law!
Under limited answers, he quickly found the correct one.
Although it consumed more than a dozen Study Coins, it was worth it to greatly speed up the progress of the experiment. He then summarized, "I think the rheumatoid factor should be a special type of antibody. It is secreted by the human immune system, and its purpose is to inhibit infection by hemolytic streptococci."
"We should experiment, test, and analyze from this perspective, studying its reaction with hemolytic streptococci."
"Also, like Brother Ai said, understand under what conditions it invades human cells."
"Other than that, there’s no need to do anything else."
Zhao Yi said, "If we can achieve this, we can settle the project and publish the results. Then..."
He laughed while speaking, "Our lab could have some high-end equipment!"
Everyone laughed along.
What the laboratory lacks now is high-end equipment. Some experiments have to be done in other laboratories or center laboratories. Finishing the Rheumatoid Arthritis project will leave surplus project funds for equipment upgrades, and they can apply for higher funding for continued experimentation. Whether the results come out or not is no longer important.
Considering the project’s difficulty, the Rheumatoid Arthritis project’s first phase funding was only 5 million, and their results could be considered very significant.
Finding the important ’Rheumatoid Factor’ in the first phase was noteworthy. Once the results are published, many medical institutions will conduct research on it, and the complete cure for rheumatoid arthritis will be only a matter of time.
This research result is enough for the laboratory to win a national-level scientific award, and also for Zhao Yi, Ai Lixin, and even Zhang Wei to win individual international medical awards.
Everyone was full of motivation.
Zhao Yi was the special one among them. He had some motivation and thought that getting results was important, but at this stage of the project, all that was left was wrapping up, declaring, publishing, and settling the project.
Whether he was in the lab or not was no longer crucial.
Zhao Yi estimated that it would take about a month for the project’s planned targets to be completed, and he would have at least one month of worry-free vacations.
The feeling was pretty nice.
Looking back on his freshman year, while most students were relaxed, he had been running around for various projects and researches...
It’s time for a break!
"Right!"
"Hurry up and rest!" Zhao Yi made up his mind.
He returned to the house near the university to pack his things and then went to find Lin Xiaoqing.
Lin Xiaoqing had been waiting for two days.
Zhao Yi and Lin Xiaoqing agreed to go back to Zhengyang together. Once he had some free time, he went to meet her right away. After meeting Lin Xiaoqing, they immediately bought plane tickets to Zhengyang.
...
That night at seven.
Zhao Yi and Lin Xiaoqing boarded the plane to Zhengyang together.
Nine o’clock.
Zhao Yi and Lin Xiaoqing held hands as they got off the plane. They took a taxi and drove directly into the residential complex.
At ten o’clock.
Lin Xudong parked the car downstairs after work when he received a call from his daughter, "Dad, today’s plane tickets were sold out."
"We’ll take the flight tomorrow morning, probably arriving home around ten in the morning."
"Remember to ask mom to make more delicious food..."
"Sure!"
Lin Xudong happily agreed and looked up at Zhao Yi’s window. It was indeed pitch-black, but he felt something was off...
Was it an illusion?
