Chapter 34

afternoon.

The Great Hall of the People is full of flowers and brocades, like a festive event.

The hall was full of seats. There were hundreds of top scientists from all over the world, dozens of academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the rest were professors and students from Tsing Hua University, Yan University and other schools who came to hear the news.

In addition, there are hundreds of Chinese and foreign reporters whose cameras are all aimed at the stage.

At this time, they are all waiting patiently.

As for the authenticity of this incident, no one has doubted it now. It is impossible for a scientific and technological achievement conference to be held in the Great Hall of the People to go wrong.

The time soon arrived at three o’clock in the afternoon.

Lu Li appeared on the stage wearing casual clothes, looking like a young student, but at this moment, he is the focus of much attention.

At this moment, everyone turned their attention to him.

“coming.”

Professor Xu sat in the first row, watching Lu Li walking onto the stage with a smile on his face.

For his own student, he is satisfied and can no longer be satisfied.

Being able to accept such a student is probably the dream of all teachers in the world.

“coming.”

A smile appeared on Professor Tian’s old face.

He looked at Lu Li’s handsome young face, and then at the foreign scientist sitting behind him.

The smile on his face is getting brighter and brighter.

I have worked hard for a whole life, and I am still very old, but I have a lot of fame in China. When I put it in the world, I won’t be recognized by many people, because there are too many top scientists abroad.

But now, when you are only 18 years old, you stand on the top of the world’s biological sciences, letting scientists from all over the world come… see you!

“The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves forward.”

Professor Tian smiled and said: “But I am a forward wave, I am willing to be pushed down by you. I rejected the favorable conditions of the Star Country at the beginning, and returned to the motherland to teach and educate people. Isn’t it the hope that the motherland will have a pillar like you?”

While Professor Tian was embarrassed, the host specially invited from CCTV took the microphone and said: “Dear gentlemen and ladies, thank you for participating in this conference of our Longguo scientific research results. Our Longguo’s Young scientist Lu Li has recently made a major breakthrough in the field of AIDS treatment. He has successfully used single-base gene editing technology to edit macrophages and transformed macrophages that can perfectly eliminate HIV. Let’s invite Lu Li to help us. explain.”

After speaking, the host smiled and stepped aside and handed the stage to Lu Li.

At this moment, the audience focused on Lu Li.

Lu Li didn’t panic, picked up the microphone calmly, looked down at the audience, and smiled slightly: “Considering that the reporter friends are all non-professionals, let me briefly introduce macrophages and single-base gene editing technology.”

“The macrophages of the human body are soldiers of the immune system. They patrol the body unswervingly for 24 hours. They can swallow bacteria, viruses, cancer cells, and other pathogens. However, they can’t beat HIV and will become HIV. A place to thrive and thrive.”

Following Lu Li’s account, a picture appeared on the large LED display on the side. HIV penetrated into the macrophages and replicated. One became two and two became four. A few minutes later, hundreds of AIDS The virus burrowed out of the macrophage, and the macrophage had died.

“Single-base gene editing technology is a technology that I have developed to edit genes. Besides, genes dominate human life. They are actually genes in cells. Human life and death, birth defects, and cancer are all. In this seemingly small genetic combination.”

“I am using single-base gene editing technology to modify the genes of macrophages so that macrophages can recognize and eliminate HIV, and also recognize and eliminate HIV-infected cells. In the future, this technology is still promising. It is used to treat various diseases such as cancer and rabies.”

Following Lu Li’s narration, the screen of the LED display also changes in real time. Everyone can see that the transformed macrophages are simply the natural enemies of HIV, one mouthful of HIV.

Next, Lu Li briefly talked about some principles. As for the details and key points, of course they will not be revealed.

Moreover, the purpose of this scientific and technological achievement conference is not to tell others how I conquered AIDS, but to tell the world that our Dragon Kingdom has conquered AIDS!

“The following is the question session. Both the reporter and the audience have the opportunity to ask questions.”

After Lu Li finished speaking, the host came over again and said with a smile.

The first opportunity to ask questions was a professor at National Taiwan University.

The professor asked: “Student Lu Li, I have two questions. First, the human body has a rejection reaction. The macrophages you plan to use for AIDS patients are foreign bodies. After entering the patient’s body, they will be immune to the patient. System attacks, have you solved this problem. Second, macrophages have the ability to divide. In this case, after eliminating HIV in the patient’s body, these macrophages will continue to divide. Will this cause the patient? Unknown risks?”

Both of these questions are normal questions, not making things difficult.

Therefore, Lu Li also smiled and said: “Thank you for your question. Regarding rejection, the macrophages that I modified have added a special genetic code, which makes it safe from the patient’s immune system.”

“Regarding the division of macrophages, I have also solved this problem through biological gene lock technology. Those macrophages that will be imported into the patient’s body will be genetically locked and lose the ability to divide. After they reach the limit of their lifespan, they will It will die naturally without any residue.”

The voice fell.

Scientists from foreign countries such as John O’Keeffe and Raymond couldn’t help but stare!

They have read Lu Li’s paper on biological gene lock technology.

But what is written in the thesis is something of a principle.

Therefore, they only know that this is an epoch-making technology, and they have no idea to what extent Lu Li can apply this technology.

But now, they know.

Lu Li can use biological gene lock technology to control the number of cell divisions!

This is really amazing!

With their current knowledge, it is impossible to imagine how Lu Li did it!

At this moment, they feel that their IQ is not enough!

At this time, the host has selected the second person who gets the opportunity to ask questions. This person happens to be Professor John O’Keeffe from Harvard University and the Nobel Prize winner in Physiology or Medicine.

John O’Keeffe said in English with some excitement: “Mr. Lu Li, hello, I am John O’Keeffe, a professor at Harvard University. I came to Long Country. I originally wanted to ask you some academic questions. , But at this moment I found that your knowledge of genes is much more than mine.

Therefore, on behalf of Harvard University, I would like to invite you to be a professor at Harvard University’s School of Life Sciences, with an annual salary of 1 million U.S. dollars. Of course, for you, this amount of money is not much, or even a small amount. , But Harvard University will fully support you in scientific research funding. In addition, you can also easily communicate with the top biologists in the star country there. According to statistics, there are currently the world’s top biological scientists Half of them are in the star country, where you will progress faster and you will have a higher level. ”
