"We designed several experimental petri dishes, each containing blood samples, and observed... Finally, we found that one of the petri dishes showed..."
"Based on this, I speculated that there might be something within that petri dish that could fight against the AIDS virus. At this moment, I want to thank my friend, Fan Lei, who contributed a significant amount of his blood to this research..."
"Clamor~~"
At the end, several noisy responses rose up, and Fan Lei even stood up directly. He pointed at himself with excitement, as if saying, "Here, I am Fan Lei, look, great or not?"
Zhao Yi continued describing the experimental process, and soon moved on to the next analysis: "...Based on this, I speculate that it is related to the antibodies produced by the human immune system."
Next one.
"Based on this, I speculate that it should be related to some specific antibodies from the rod-shaped bacterial family. We’ve tested several kinds of rod-shaped bacteria in our experiments and conducted the analysis accordingly..."
Next one.
"Based on this, I speculate that it should not be the direct action of antibodies, but perhaps some substances that are produced together with antibodies..."
Next one.
"Based on this, I suppose... we’ve locked onto the 2CV-Bing Hydrogen Molecule, which we’ve targeted for anti-AIDS virus research, and ultimately discovered that it indeed has the effect of weakening the toxicity of the virus."
"..."
Biomedical research reports are not difficult to understand, as they generally consist of designing experiments, drawing conclusions, conducting analysis, etc. As long as professional biomedical researchers have accumulated enough knowledge and are not venturing into unknown areas, they can understand the reports.
The audience consisted of medical researchers and industry professionals, some even top representatives in the field. However, they gradually found it difficult to follow, especially the part regarding ’conclusion derivation.’
They found that Zhao Yi’s reasoning wasn’t based on a careful and sensible process but rather lacked some ’necessary conditions.’ It seemed as if he had skipped many steps and directly arrived at the conclusion.
The emergence of these conclusions was surprising, and some were initially hard to imagine.
For example, the part related to bacterial antibodies.
The original experiment aimed to study which bacterium or virus would generate an immune response with similar anti-AIDS effects, but the conclusion that it is related to the ’bacterial antibodies’ was reached after only one step. Why?
Why antibodies?
Why not the substances secreted by the bacteria themselves?
Why not something else?
Etc.
No explanations were given. It wasn’t that Zhao Yi didn’t explain it clearly, but that he had quickly arrived at the conclusion.
So... why?
Of course, it was improper to interrupt during the presentation, and Zhao Yi continued his report accordingly. He gave a brief account of the experiment, "The above is our laboratory’s process of discovering the effect of the 2CV-Bing Hydrogen Molecule in weakening the toxicity of the AIDS virus..."
Next came the Q&A session.
Usually, the audience would respond with a round of applause after the presentation, but this time barely any applause was heard. Most people looked puzzled.
The host announced the start of the Q&A session.
Suddenly.
A sea of hands shot up from the audience.
The host called on Academician Meng Guocheng in the front row, who asked with puzzlement, "Zhao Yi, I have some doubts about the process of your experimental analysis and conclusion, for example, the part about the unique bacterial antibodies you mentioned just now. How did a simple comparison of the anti-AIDS virus experiment lead to the conclusion that it’s related to unique bacterial antibodies? How did you arrive at this conclusion? Under normal circumstances, shouldn’t there be many possibilities?"
Zhao Yi nodded honestly and said, "Yes, there are many possibilities. However, I’ve realized that verifying each possibility would require many people, a considerable amount of funding, and numerous experiments. Our laboratory doesn’t have these conditions."
"So I picked one to verify."
"I relied on luck... I didn’t expect our luck to be so good." He laughed as he spoke, seemingly celebrating his good fortune.
Meng Guocheng almost spat blood upon hearing this. He took a deep breath and became more anxious. "What about...? In the end, you determined it to be the 2CV-Bing Hydrogen Molecule. To my knowledge, the human immune response to rod-shaped bacteria produces several substances, right? Some are even inorganic waste. So how did you...?"
"I thought that the possibility of an inorganic substance was slim, so I chose the 2CV-Bing Hydrogen Molecule.", Zhao Yi said seriously, "The 2CV-Bing Hydrogen Molecule has a protein-like structure, and I’ve consulted numerous references before finally making the judgment."
Meng Guocheng’s jaw dropped, and he remained stunned for a while before finally sitting down, speechless.
Logic?
Conditions?
Since Zhao Yi openly admitted to relying on luck, what else could be said? Everything was explained.
Several more people stood up to ask questions—mainly about the experimental process and results analysis—and Zhao Yi’s answers were more or less the same: about ’taking a chance’ to find the right direction. Eventually, he simply declared, "It’s a gut feeling!" when faced with multiple questions.
"Really!"
"Feeling is very important."
"I don’t have the rich scientific research experience or the extensive knowledge accumulation of everyone here, but I have a strong belief in my own intuition."
"..."
Everyone in the audience was left speechless.
They didn’t think Zhao Yi was lying, because the results had already come out, and Zhao Yi had no reason to lie. From a scientific research logic perspective, the experimental process he designed had many possibilities for each step, and it would be a huge project to test each one, just as Zhao Yi said, with not enough manpower and financial support.
Some validations also require high-end equipment, which might not be available at the Biomedical Research Institute.
So, the approximate process should be more or less the same, finding the right direction based on ’intuition’ and then designing experiments to conduct research.
The problem is here.
Is intuition important? Extremely important!
Others doing research will also encounter similar problems, which may have many inferences from analyzing a certain experimental process and result, and it is impossible to test each of them.
At this time, experience becomes very important.
If they make the correct choices, the research may go smoothly, and it may be easy to make new discoveries. In contrast, if they make the wrong choices, subsequent efforts will be fruitless.
They think it’s experience, and the more projects they do, the more experience they naturally accumulate, and the higher the probability of making the correct choice.
Putting the same thing on Zhao Yi, it’s not experience, but intuition?
With his ’intuition,’ Zhao Yi smoothly conducts research all the way, and in a short time, discovers the effect of the 2CV-Bing Hydrogen Molecule in weakening the toxicity of the AIDS virus?
This... "
Is completely incomprehensible!
...
After the results report is over, many people discussed, "Zhao Yi said it’s intuition; shouldn’t it be experience?"
"He is a genius!" someone answered.
"What do you mean? Is it related to being a genius?"
"Of course! We research by experience, and he does it by intuition; isn’t that a genius?"
"A genius doesn’t need experience to make the right decisions. You can’t deny it. Today I’ve seen that medical research needs talent too! Look at Zhao Yi, so young and in his early 20s, doing research for two or three years, and already cracking AIDS... Who would dare say it’s not talent-related? Who would say it has nothing to do with intelligence?"
"This is the gap between a genius and an ordinary person!"
"We..."
"Are just ordinary people!"
Many people discussed it and could only smile bitterly.
Even if they didn’t want to accept it, it had already happened. Zhao Yi had almost no experience, yet relied on intuition to make great achievements. It wasn’t something they could even envy.
At the same time.
Meng Guocheng sat blankly, contemplating his life, always believing that medical research, the most important thing is experience and knowledge, plus the influence of the research environment, doing a step-by-step experimental design, a step-by-step inference, to ultimately achieve the result.
Now...
He feels that his life experience has been turned upside down! ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Just as the person next to him said, "Who would dare say intelligence has nothing to do with it? Zhao Yi is a genius!"
"Yeah!"
"Zhao Yi is a genius!"
"So... I’m just a fool. I have no achievements in the first half of my life, and only because I’ve done a lot of research and for a long time, I know more and have achieved a little success..."
"Sigh~"
Meng Guocheng sighed deeply, suddenly feeling a sense of desolation. What’s the point?
The future belongs to geniuses like Zhao Yi, and for people like him, without much talent and relying entirely on experience, maybe it’s time to leave the research industry, enjoy their retirement or engage in education.
