Chapter 40 Genetic Evolution
Lin Jia frowned, "Let's go back to our country. A gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall.
This confrontational atmosphere spread from Washington to rural Tennessee through public opinion.
Here, the personal risks are very high, especially if you have really achieved something remarkable.
From the perspective of high-tech alone, the domestic entrepreneurial environment is also good. For top talents like you, there are many institutions in the country that are willing to invest in you. At the very least, I can provide you with some start-up capital.
It’s just that you have to think about the specific direction.”
Chen Yuanguang teased, "I didn't expect you to consider this. Didn't you always want to study in America?
Why are you suddenly bringing this up again?"
Lin Jia raised his eyebrows: "People like me who study finance are like mobile gold coin bags to America, waiting for me to explode the gold coins. There will definitely be no problem if I do it.
Moreover, it is in New York, where the safety factor of wealthy neighborhoods is guaranteed.
You are different. You are a white-name NPC here now, and the research results you make are all theoretical. There will be no risks for the time being.
If you really produce some astonishing results that can be implemented, you will become a yellow-named NPC. Once your thoughts or intentions of returning to China are exposed, you will instantly become a red-named NPC, and the risk factor will rise sharply.
Don’t act on any inspiration or ideas you have recently. Wait until you get your Ph.D. from MIT and graduate and return to China.
To use the words on the Internet, just grow slowly and don’t waste time.”
Lin Jia sighed: "Yuan Guang, I really didn't expect you to be so talented in scientific research. If I had predicted in advance that you were so talented in scientific research, I would rather stay in China for graduate school than come to Columbia University.
Now we both just need to keep a low profile and wait for graduation.”
Chen Yuanguang nodded first and then shook his head: "I have another paper about viruses to be published. I will keep a low profile after that paper is published.
But that paper will have a huge impact, and it is very likely to cause pharmaceutical companies to lose a lot of money. It’s not that they will lose money, but that they will not make the money they should have made.”
Lin Jia was puzzled and asked: "Will the virus not be quickly controlled by a broad-spectrum vaccine? When I was in China, the domestic media gave high praise, including the Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg, which gave very positive comments on your research results.
It is believed that the virus pandemic can be fundamentally curbed in a short period of time.
Including the Nasdaq Index, S&P 500, England's FTSE 100, Germany's DAX and other indices, these indices saw an astonishing rebound the next day after the news you posted Science had fully fermented.
Why do you still want to publish papers? "
Chen Yuanguang explained: "Because the only countries capable of designing and producing broad-spectrum vaccines are Europe, America, and China, they can design and produce broad-spectrum vaccines according to my research results.
For most Asian, African and Latin American countries, they do not have the ability to design and produce products themselves, or even if they do, it will take a long time, and their markets will be occupied by multinational pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer and AstraZeneca.
As a result, not everyone in these Asian, African and Latin American countries has money to get vaccinated.
I think that vaccines can help the virus evolve in a general direction and gradually reduce its toxicity. In this way, even if some people can get vaccinated, the toxicity of the strains prevalent worldwide will gradually decrease until it is even less toxic than influenza. If this result is achieved, the interests of pharmaceutical companies will be seriously damaged. "
Chen Yuanguang felt that his previous achievements were only enough to benefit some people, and he hoped to have more achievements to benefit everyone.
Lin Jia felt a surge of emotion in her heart, as if she had chosen the right person. She was deeply moved by Chen Yuanguang's desire to help the world.
This is enough, but considering that many people cannot afford the expensive broad-spectrum vaccine, I hope I can do more.
Chen Yuanguang didn't think that this was a way to benefit the world. He just felt that he had the ability to go to the future, so the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. He should do what he can instead of producing results that only make profits for these multinational pharmaceutical companies.
Lin Jia took a deep breath to calm himself, then said, “Even if you make it, pharmaceutical companies will not design vaccines according to your plan.
They will still work on broad-spectrum vaccines. As for the vaccine that you hope for that can cause targeted mutations in the virus, they will verbally say that it is under development, but in fact they will delay the development progress as much as possible, or even not develop it at all.
If you want to do this, you have to return to your country, cooperate with China, and let China's state-owned enterprises cooperate in this matter.
For China, ending the pandemic and returning to an era of global circulation of resources, population, and information is far more important to them than the benefits of vaccines.”
Lin Jia continued, "Since you have such an idea, we can start preparing to return home. I will prepare a charter flight and contact the Chinese side, and we will start again when we return.
It’s not safe to make a decision here now.”
After talking with Lin Jia, Chen Yuanguang realized that he was not safe in America. When he lay in bed at night, he silently thought about the future.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived in Kuala Lumpur hundreds of years later. Lying in the student dormitory of the University of Malaya, the texture of the quilt, the decoration style of the room, the computer and virtual helmet on the table, and the virtual imaging screen at the head of the bed all told him that this was already the future.
Chen Yuanguang glanced at the time stamp on the lower right corner of the virtual imaging screen at the head of the bed. It was 12:30. "It's been three months since I went back, but only about twenty minutes have passed here.
The difference in the speed of time is too great.”
He went to the future to look up some information and look for inspiration. After finding an idea, Chen Yuanguang left the future and spent three months in modern time and space.
"Chen Yonglin, Shi Huilan, Samad, the Chen family, who knows how humans can evolve themselves?" Chen Yuanguang thought.
After spending half a year in the future, Chen Yuanguang discovered that four hundred years into the future, the average human lifespan had been extended to 120 years. Why was there no news of genetic evolution or human gene leap?
Logically speaking, humans have been conducting research at the genetic level in modern times, and four hundred years in the future, with the support of AI or super AI like Alpha, humans should have made rapid progress at the genetic level.
He discovered that there were undercurrents beneath the surface of the water in America. Chen Yuanguang hoped that some of the technology could be used in modern time and space to strengthen himself or at least have basic self-protection capabilities.
Why didn't he see any relevant information in the public news.
Chen Yuanguang thought about it, sat at the table, turned on the computer, entered Pangu's website, and planned to ask AI first.
