When Addison Blythe was still projected on the screen while talking at the press conference, the news about him was like a raging fire, spreading rapidly to every corner of the world with an unstoppable momentum, and the whole world was in an unprecedented state of excitement. The name Addison Blythe was like a powerful bomb at this moment, not only powerfully announcing the historic breakthrough of the successful conquest of AIDS, but also because of his confident and domineering remarks - already standing at the pinnacle of the field of biological science, only relying on oneself can continue to make progress, which aroused heated discussions and deep thoughts among countless people around the world. For a time, the various explosive topics surrounding him became the focus of high attention from all walks of life around the world, as if all eyes were instantly focused on this young and legendary figure.
In Singapore, The Washington Post keenly captured the influence of this major event and took the lead in speaking out with a striking headline: "Today, this American genius scientist is undoubtedly the protagonist of the world!" Fox News was not to be outdone and followed closely with a profound comment: "Today, American genius scientist Addison Blythe successfully transformed macrophages with his outstanding wisdom and innovative genetic technology, thus conquering AIDS, a medical problem that has long plagued mankind. The birth of this great achievement not only marks the official opening of the era of gene therapy, but also demonstrates to the world the rapid rise of American technology in today's era. In the future, the United States is very likely to become a leader in global technological development with this advantage!" As these widely influential news spread in Singapore, countless Singaporeans heard about Addison Blythe's legendary deeds for the first time in their lives, and the shock they received in their hearts was like a surging tide, wave after wave, and it was difficult to suppress. Addison, who was only 18 years old, had an amazing ability to remember everything he saw, as well as extraordinary comprehension and scientific research capabilities. He was able to thoroughly understand and master the core content of a professional book in just three or four hours; after only two weeks of studying biology, his paper was successfully published on the authoritative academic platform of "Cell" magazine. The single-base gene editing technology he developed made scientists around the world admire him and cast admiring eyes. After a month of hard work day and night, he not only successfully overcame the medical difficulty of AIDS, but also developed a groundbreaking biological gene lock technology to achieve precise control of the number of cell divisions. This achievement is simply incredible.
The people of Singapore who saw this news were shocked and couldn't hold back their excitement, and expressed various emotions.
"In the long history of mankind, has there ever been a genius as gifted as him? It's amazing!"
"I seriously doubt that he is not a mortal as we know him. Maybe he is an intelligent life from outer space, otherwise how could he have such extraordinary abilities!"
"Is it possible that a scientific master who can compare with the great Einstein will be born in this magical land of the East? If so, it will be a great blessing for the scientific community!"
"I really want to go to the United States immediately to witness the unique style of this genius with my own eyes. I believe he must be full of charm and irresistible."
However, this is just the reaction of ordinary people. For those scientists with profound attainments in the field of biological sciences and pharmaceutical giants who control huge interests in the pharmaceutical industry, they have quickly immersed themselves in the in-depth study of the technology demonstrated by Addison, trying to find new breakthroughs and business opportunities from it.
Gilead, as the undisputed absolute leader in the global HIV drug market, has a 51% share of the global HIV drug market of up to $28 billion, and its position in this field is extremely important. Therefore, when Addison Bryce announced that he had successfully conquered AIDS, Gilead was immediately faced with a formidable enemy and felt unprecedented pressure. Jason, the company's CEO, quickly called the R&D manager into his office, and a tense conversation began.
"Addison Bryce has made public his method of conquering AIDS. With the strength and resources of your R&D department, how long will it take to replicate this technology?" Jason looked solemn, staring at the R&D manager, revealing a hint of anxiety and expectation in his eyes.
"I'm sorry, although I am very reluctant to admit this, I really have no confidence in replicating this technology at the moment. It may take three, five, or even longer, or even ten years." The R&D manager was embarrassed and answered helplessly, his face full of frustration and worry.
"Damn it! Addison Bryce can complete the research by himself. Our R&D department has more than 2,000 experienced researchers, equipped with the world's most advanced instruments and equipment, and sufficient R&D funds as support. There is no reason why we can't do it!" Jason slammed the table angrily, roaring emotionally, his heart full of resentment and anger.
"Mr. Jason, you must clearly realize the fact that we are all ordinary people, but Addison Bryce is by no means an ordinary person. He is an absolute genius. His understanding and mastery of genetic technology has far exceeded my cognition. Until now, I am still thinking hard, but I still can't figure out how he transformed macrophages. I am afraid that except for him, no scientist in the world can really figure out the mystery. However, if you can provide me with some relevant experimental samples, perhaps I can find some breakthroughs from them, so as to bring a glimmer of hope to our research." The R&D manager explained sincerely, revealing a hint of helplessness and desire in his eyes.
"Samples? I see." Jason fell into deep thought, frowning, thinking about how to obtain these key experimental samples.
At the same time, in the United States, the Internet was completely blown up, presenting a lively discussion scene. On Instagram, a popular social media platform, netizens enthusiastically expressed their views and opinions, and enthusiastically discussed various topics related to Addison.
"Today, the news about Addison Blythe is like a storm, completely dominating the screen! No matter how I refresh, it's all about him."
"We are both 18 years old, but I am completely confused by the professional terms Addison uses... I am completely impressed by him!"
"Guess how high Addison's IQ is? In my opinion, it must be at least 300, otherwise how could he achieve such amazing achievements!"
"Compared with Addison, I feel that my IQ has been greatly insulted, as if I am like an ignorant child."
"My IQ seems to be rubbed on the ground like crazy, compared with his, the gap is really too big!"
With the end of the press conference, Addison Blythe immediately left the venue and returned to Harvard University without stopping. The 20 chimpanzees he had applied for live experiments had been successfully transported to the laboratory of Harvard University. These chimpanzees were used as experimental subjects by other scientists when studying HIV drugs. They had already been infected with HIV and were in poor health. Considering that chimpanzees need a larger living and experimental space, the school specially replaced a more spacious laboratory with better facilities for Addison. In addition, Professor Johnson also thoughtfully arranged for his students to serve as Addison's research assistants to assist him in carrying out this important experiment. After all, facing the experimental task of 20 chimpanzees, it is indeed difficult for Addison to complete it alone, and it requires the cooperation and support of the team.
"Addison, you are here."
"Addison."
As soon as Addison walked into the laboratory, his seniors greeted him enthusiastically, their eyes full of envy and respect, as if they were looking at a highly respected scientific research predecessor.
"Hello, senior brother, hello." Addison responded with a smile, his face full of confidence and humility.
Then, he walked steadily to the cage where the chimpanzees were kept and began to observe the condition of these chimpanzees carefully. All of these chimpanzees were sick, their eyes were dull, their bodies were weak and their condition was very obvious, which made people feel pity.
"Let's draw blood from the chimpanzees first and test their HIV infection." After observing for a while, Addison decisively gave the order, revealing a professional and authoritative tone.
Since HIV mainly exists in body fluids such as blood, semen, and saliva, blood tests are undoubtedly the best way to understand the virus situation in these chimpanzees. After receiving the order, the seniors acted quickly and cautiously. They carefully drew blood samples from these chimpanzees and then placed the samples under an electron microscope for careful observation. During the entire operation, Addison was mainly responsible for commanding and guiding the work, and he almost had no chance to do anything - and this is a special treatment that only mentors can enjoy. However, the seniors had no complaints about this. In their hearts, Addison was no longer an ordinary peer, but a scientific research expert with the same status as the tutor, worthy of their respect and following.
"The HIV content in the blood of chimpanzees No. 1, No. 3, No. 7, and No. 15 is extremely high, which is a severe infection."
"The HIV content in the blood of chimpanzees No. 2, No. 8, No. 11, and No. 16 is low, which is a mild infection."
"... It is a moderate infection."
The seniors carefully and meticulously recorded the data, and then took the prepared new macrophage agent from Addison and began to inject the chimpanzees. Next, there was a long and expectant waiting time, and everyone was quietly waiting for the agent to play the expected role. At this time, the sky had gradually darkened. After saying goodbye to the seniors, Addison left the laboratory, ending this busy and fulfilling day.
