Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 719: Chapter 395: Who Dares Say It’s Not Related to the Mind?

Inside the convention hall.

Over two hundred pairs of eyes were earnestly fixed on the stage, watching the young man with a smile at the corner of his mouth and a look of confidence.

Many figures in the medical field were curious about how Zhao Yi could complete significant medical research. Unlike mathematics, medical research doesn’t solely rely on intelligence and flexible thinking, but also requires accumulated knowledge, experience, and a significant amount of luck.

So...

How was Zhao Yi able to make such research discoveries when they couldn’t?

Where exactly was the difference?

Was it really because Zhao Yi was simply lucky?

Veteran Academy member Meng Guocheng attributed Zhao Yi’s achievements to luck. Yet, he harbored significant doubts. Even without considering the ’Tianqing Protein’ result, the discovery of the 2CV-Bing Hydrogen Molecule was extraordinary.

The 2CV-Bing Hydrogen Molecule wasn’t a new substance, but its ability to weaken the AIDS virus was a new discovery. Why hadn’t anyone else discovered it before it was found in Zhao Yi’s lab?

If this could all be chalked up to luck, it seemed rather forced. Still, attributing his success to ’talent’ didn’t make sense either, as talent didn’t play as significant of a role in biomedical research as one might think.

Meng Guocheng firmly believed this!

This was perhaps Meng Guocheng’s ’life creed’. His early life could be labeled as ’failure’; lacking any noteworthy achievements. Accumulating a wealth of experience, at over forty years old, he finally saw various results and was appointed as an Academy member at sixty-three.

Based on his own life experiences, Meng Guocheng firmly believed that biomedical research relies on knowledge and experience rather than any sort of innate talent. Young researchers making significant contributions were due in part to significant luck and their abilities were likely still lagging.

Zhao Yi...

He was even more behind!

A biomedical researcher in his early twenties? He had only studied biology and medicine for two or three years. His accumulation of knowledge and experience were barely mentionable, and it was commendable if he could even design an experiment.

Therefore, Meng Guocheng was also very curious.

Many in the audience, whose research experiences stressed the importance of knowledge and experience, shared similar thoughts.

Zhao Yi was simply too young.

In terms of this medical achievement presentation, the audience’s main focus was wanting to know how Zhao Yi discovered the effects of the 2CV-Bing Hydrogen Molecule, how he designed the experiments, deduced the conclusions, and were more interested in the research process, hoping to learn something from it.

This is what distinguishes medicine from mathematics and physics.

In mathematics and physics, the process helps to understand the reasons for the conclusion, whereas in medical research, the process is simply exchanged for experience. The results are paramount in medical research because they can be verified, and most can be practically applied.

For theoretical research in mathematics and physics, the process is even more critical. Meticulous logical deduction is needed to reach credible results. The thought process is not as important, as others cannot learn from it.

For instance, the well-known Newton’s apple incident.

Newton could ponder why the apple fell from the tree, gradually refining the laws of mechanics. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

How could others learn from this?

This thought process was meaningless to others and impossible to learn from, which only emphasized that Newton was a genius, possessing a mind not owned by ordinary people.

In biomedical research, the importance of inspiration is diminished, and it relies more on experience. For instance, how to design an experiment, make reasonable assumptions about the results, and then design further experiments.

Moreover, the research environment is also crucial.

Medical labs possess many large, advanced pieces of equipment. Without these devices, research is impossible.

High-end biomedical labs can attract more talents. A biomedical expert with no research environment, regardless of how talented, is meaningless because their designed experiments cannot be conducted.

...

Amid everyone’s anticipation, Zhao Yi made a simple introduction and then transitioned to the main topic – explaining the experimental process of discovering the 2CV-Bing Hydrogen Molecule.

This process included research discovery, experimental design, data analysis; this was followed by subsequent inference, then moving on to the next experimental design...

This continued until the discovery that the 2CV-Bing Hydrogen molecule could weaken the toxicity of the AIDS virus.

Zhao Yi’s tone was upbeat, as if he was effortlessly reciting a script. He spoke quickly, his expression exceedingly calm, showing no signs of panic.

That’s because he was prepared.

Once he was confirmed to participate in the Infectious Disease Prevention and Control Convention at the Medical Science Academy and declared to report on the discovery of the 2CV-Bing Hydrogen Molecule’s effect, everyone in his lab prepared for this. They even roped in the experienced Dai Tianqing to help review and modify the report content.

This was Zhao Yi’s first time ’reciting a script’ for a presentation. Fortunately, he had participated in the experiment, and he had a very high memory retention. He merely needed to read the main parts a couple of times and could improvise the smaller sections. No one else could help prepare the parts where he would have to ’deduce’ based on the experiment, or rather, his thought process.

He had also thought through this part. He would say what needed to be said and share exactly how it was done.

During the report, the audience heard many inexplicable surmises.

"Our lab just finished the deciphering project of the AIDS virus power gene vif and conducted routine research along the way, using everyone’s blood for AIDS infection analysis..."
