Currently, there is no magic cure for AIDS on the market. Drugs related to AIDS are divided into several types, the most common of which is the Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor.
Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors are gene-level drugs that can inhibit the gene synthesis of the AIDS virus, but they only slow down the rate of synthesis and cannot play a direct role in it.
The next most common is a Protease Inhibitor, which, as the name suggests, inhibits the synthesis of protease, thus suppressing the replication of the AIDS virus by interfering with protein synthesis.
These two drugs are the most common, but all they do is ’delay’ the progress of the disease.
Importantly, the probability of side effects is very high from long-term use of these two types of drugs because both Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors and Protease Inhibitors target all genes and proteins in the body, not exclusively the AIDS virus.
The 2CV-Bing Hydrogen Molecule is therefor not used anymore.
If the 2CV-Bing Hydrogen Molecule can directly initiate the inhibitory effect on the AIDS virus, even if it’s not as good as the two types of drugs mentioned, it will not produce any side effects because it can be directly dissolved in blood.
This discovery could potentially support the creation of an AIDS inhibitory drug without side effects.
Just that alone would make it an important discovery worth special attention, and there may be other findings during research. For example, understanding exactly how the 2CV-Bing Hydrogen Molecule inhibits infection can allow for assessment of its efficacy, and it could potentially be more effective than other types of drugs.
Zhao Yi believes there is a high chance that this could be ’better’ because a small amount of the 2CV-Bing Hydrogen Molecule already has a decent effect and can easily be detected. Increasing the amount of the 2CV-Bing Hydrogen Molecule could possibly enhance the effect.
Their discovery is indeed world-class and requires maximum attention. The main reason for applying for ’security assistance’ is because the 2CV-Bing Hydrogen Molecule is a common substance. If news were to get out, all their research would be public.
This information must be confined within the research institute. The fewer people who know about it, the better. Only after results are produced can the higher-ups weigh whether to make it public or not. This includes considerations about substantial economic interests and the value of scientific research results.
Soon enough.
The security assistance arrived.
The Biomedical Research Institute was quickly guarded by armed police, with a buffer zone of several tens of meters. Others were not allowed in, and those inside could not leave without clearance. freёwebnoѵel.com
This regulation confined most people, even those in other labs were restricted.
Simultaneously.
Superiors also sent representatives to enter Zhao Yi’s laboratory to oversee the research process.
Zhao Yi made a simple report. He and Yan Xuelin were the only two without restrictions. He also named a few familiar people to help research the discovery
The lineup for this research was quite impressive.
In addition to everyone in Zhao Yi’s lab, Dai Tianqing, Han Hui, and Li Ming all participated. Yan Xuelin also joined in, and perhaps the least contributing was Fan Lei.
Fan Lei was of no use at all. His logistical work was not needed either. Any materials or information required could be obtained without approval, making him feel like a mere spectator. He was apprehensive about sitting in the lab with armed police standing outside, holding guns in a somewhat frightening manner.
He couldn’t leave the institute and had to stay in the lab.
Worse still, he could not even connect to the internet, and his mobile phone had been taken away. freewebnoveℓ.com
Frustrated, Fan Lei asked Zhao Yi, "When will this research end?"
"Two weeks? Three weeks? I estimate it shouldn’t take a month..."
"Stop joking!"
Dai Tianqing said with experience, "At least three months!" He held up three fingers.
Yan Xuelin nodded in agreement, "Three months seems about right, and that’s in the best-case scenario."
Ai Lixin disagreed, "Really? You guys know how strong our lab is. One month should be enough."
"About a month seems right." Zhang Wei also chimed in.
The members had completely different estimates for the research duration. Fan Lei didn’t know who to listen to. He kind of hoped that it would take longer, so he could have a reason for ’not going to class’, meanwhile feeling frustrated about not being able to surf the internet, making him feel like he was merely wasting away here.
Dai Tianqing and Yan Xuelin were a bit puzzled. Given they were more experienced, shouldn’t their ability to evaluate exceed that of those in Zhao Yi’s lab? Even so, their estimates were over three months. How could it be reduced to just one month?
How much confidence did that take!
Why? What gave them such strong confidence?
The two thought of Zhao Yi, but still shook their heads.
Zhao Yi was indeed a research genius, but no matter how genius, research must still follow rules—many experiments needed time to observe and make judgments. Even if everything goes smoothly, because the experiment inherently requires time, the speed could not be fast.
...
After the security assistance arrived, Zhao Yi went to the staff dormitory and office to tell Lin Xiaoqing and Zhao Linlin about the major research he was about to conduct in the lab.
The two armed police following him answered most questions without him needing to go into detail.
Lin Xiaoqing and Zhao Linlin were slightly worried. But thinking about Zhao Yi’s reputation and achievements, they felt it was quite normal. They helped Zhao Yi pack his things, then decided to leave Yanhua University.
