A flash of inspiration flashed through Addison Bryce's mind, and he came up with a very innovative idea - adding a "lock" to the genes of the new macrophages, which can also be called a gene lock. Of course, this gene lock is not the kind of fantasy and mysterious setting in infinite flow novels, but a clever restriction on the expression of genetic traits. In fact, gene locks really exist in nature, like a master behind the scenes who silently controls the rhythm of life. The growth and death rules of cells, the limit on the number of cell divisions... These are all specific manifestations of gene locks, which are essentially the constraints of genes on cell activities. Once this restriction is broken, the cells will be like a wild horse that has run away, and will become cancerous and turn into cancer cells, which will act recklessly in the human body and destroy the normal physiological order.
And Addison Bryce hopes to achieve two crucial goals with the help of gene lock technology. First, only the primary new macrophages he cultivated personally have the ability to divide. These primary new macrophages are like precious seeds, which will not be directly sold to the outside world, but only used as a source of division to produce daughter cells. The daughter cells put on the market for sale are like being cast a spell and lose their ability to divide, which effectively controls the source of product production and prevents others from copying them at will. Second, the genes of the new macrophages are encrypted so that even if others get the product, they cannot use conventional reverse analysis methods to spy on the genetic code of the new macrophages, as if adding an indestructible protective shield to the genetic code.
"If I can really successfully develop gene lock technology, I can safely bring drugs to the market to treat AIDS. Not only that, all kinds of genetic products I develop in the future can use this technology!" Thinking of this, Addison Bryce was overwhelmed with excitement, and his heart was pounding in his chest, like a drum beating for a soldier about to go to war. This idea not only found a reliable commercial guarantee for his current achievements in conquering AIDS treatment, but also opened countless possible doors for his future exploration in the field of genetic technology like a master key. This further strengthened his determination to conquer the gene lock technology. The momentum seemed to break through the walls of the laboratory and announce his ambition to the world.
For other scientists, this technical problem may be as difficult as climbing Mount Everest, and even no scientist has set foot in this research field. After all, this requires an extremely deep and accurate understanding of the microscopic world at the genetic level, and bold and innovative thinking, and the courage to break through the boundaries of traditional cognition. However, for Addison Bryce, it is not out of reach. After all, he has a gene evolution system that can be called a plug-in. This powerful system is like a special ability given to him by God, which can accurately control every cell in his body. With this unique advantage, his depth of understanding of the human body, cells and genes far exceeds that of other scientists. While other scientists are still groping in the fog of genetic research, he has already stood at a higher dimension and clearly sees the mysteries. This is the significant advantage of cheating. Cheating for a while brings temporary pleasure, while continuous cheating can enjoy long-term convenience and overcome all obstacles on the road of scientific research.
"With my current knowledge reserve, it is far from enough to successfully develop gene lock technology. Therefore, I have to go to the library to recharge. Not only do I have to study professional books in the field of biology in depth, but I also have to learn some computer data knowledge and understand computer data encryption technology. Maybe I can get inspiration from it and learn by analogy." Addison Bryce thought to himself, with determination and desire in his eyes. He knew that to realize this great idea, he must constantly broaden his knowledge boundaries and integrate wisdom from different fields. Then, he began to clean up the laboratory in an orderly manner. He destroyed the newly cultivated macrophages one by one, and each operation was cautious, as if he was performing a sacred ceremony. Although these new macrophages condensed his hard work, they were only stage products in the journey of conquering gene lock technology. Then, he carefully stored the other drugs in the low-temperature freezer to ensure that these precious scientific research resources were properly preserved. After doing all this, he left the laboratory and walked straight to the library with firm steps, with an endless desire for knowledge in his heart.
…
In the next ten days, Addison Bryce went to the library every day without fail, like a devout believer going to a holy place. The library was filled with a unique smell of paper and ink, quiet and full of wisdom. He sat by the window, and the sunlight shone on his focused face through the mottled leaves. One by one, the professional books on biology were repeatedly read in his hands. Those dense professional terms and complex gene maps seemed to him like clues to mysterious treasures. At the same time, he did not forget to take out his spare time to look for a suitable residence around Harvard University with senior Qin Wei. The two had already tasted the sweetness of the world of two people, and naturally longed to have a warm nest that belonged to them completely, so that no matter what they did, they would be more comfortable and comfortable. They held hands and walked through the streets and alleys of Cambridge, looking at the ancient or modern buildings, their eyes full of longing for future life.
It must be said that the housing prices in Cambridge are really shockingly high, especially the houses near Harvard University, the prices are even more staggering. The 1.2 million bonus that Addison Blythe won in the college entrance examination is not enough to buy a house of his choice here. Just like in the vast desert, a drop of water seems so insignificant. In the end, they rented a two-bedroom and one-living room house near Harvard University, using a payment method of one deposit and three payments, and tens of thousands of dollars disappeared in an instant. Fortunately, Addison Blythe is confident in his future ability to make money, otherwise, he really wouldn't dare to spend so lavishly. He stood in the rented house, looking at the empty room, but his heart was full of hope, as if he had seen the warm and lively appearance of the place.
However, he only went to the rental house occasionally, and still chose to live in the dormitory most of the time. After all, the dormitory is very close to the laboratory and the library, which can save a lot of time on the way back and forth. He cherishes every minute and every second, like a runner who races against time, sprinting on the track of scientific research.
This day, in the laboratory.
"Finally done!" Addison Bryce observed the primary new macrophages in the culture dish through an electron microscope, his eyes full of expectation, as if staring at the rare treasure he carefully carved. These new macrophages are not simple. They not only have the ability to engulf and eliminate HIV, but also can accurately identify and eliminate cells infected by HIV. More importantly, they are integrated with the biological gene lock technology that Addison Bryce has just successfully developed. The integration of this technology is like putting a mysterious and powerful armor on the new macrophages, making them more powerful in the battlefield against HIV.
With the assistance of the gene evolution system, Addison Bryce first conducted experiments with his own cells. The results showed that the macrophages treated with gene locks can divide normally, but the daughter cells produced by their division have lost the ability to divide. Now, he wants to see if the new macrophages cultivated in the laboratory environment also meet this characteristic. This is like an exciting scientific adventure, and every observation may rewrite the history of medicine.
Under the close watch of Addison Bryce, the new macrophages began to divide, and one cell slowly divided into two. That picture seemed to be a wonderful dance of life in the microscopic world, full of mystery and surprise.
"Can these daughter cells divide?" Addison Bryce held his breath, his heart almost stopped beating, and stared at the picture under the microscope, fearing that he would miss any subtle changes. At this moment, time seemed to freeze, and the only sound in the entire laboratory was his heavy breathing and the slight operation of the instrument.
More than ten minutes later, Addison Bryce clenched his fists excitedly, with a light of joy in his eyes, which was like the brightest star in the night sky. Because the observation results showed that the primary new macrophages he cultivated could continue to divide, while the newly generated daughter cells showed no signs of division. This means... He succeeded! The biological gene lock technology has been successfully developed! If this news were announced to the public at this moment, it would surely cause a strong earthquake in the entire biological community! The gene lock technology that those scientists dared not even try was successfully conquered by Addison Bryce! He seemed to be standing on the top of the world, overlooking the entire field of biology, with a heart full of pride and a sense of accomplishment.
"Great, continue with the next experiment. I will try to use the existing instruments and equipment to crack the genetic code of the new macrophage." After a little excitement, Addison Bryce quickly plunged into the intense experimental work. He knew that this experiment was also crucial. If other scientists can successfully crack the genetic code of the new macrophage, they can cultivate new macrophages by themselves, which will undoubtedly have a huge impact on Addison Bryce's research results, just like a huge gap in the scientific research fortress he carefully built.
Soon, three hours passed. The laboratory was filled with a tense atmosphere, and Addison Bryce's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, but his eyes were always firm and focused.
Addison Bryce smiled brightly, feeling particularly happy. He said to himself with a smile: "As long as there are no unexpected situations, no one will be able to crack the genetic code of the new macrophages in the next three years at least."
The reason why Addison Bryce can say this so confidently is not blind arrogance. He knows the current level of development of global genetic technology as well as the lines on his palm. He knows that his research in the field of genetics has far surpassed everyone else, like a lonely navigator, leading the way in the unknown ocean of science. At the same time, he is also very clear about the advanced level of the new macrophage gene lock technology. This technology embodies his wisdom and innovation, and is the result of his hard work on the road of scientific research. Based on his deep understanding of technology, he uses scientific thinking to analyze and reason from all angles and makes this rational and objective judgment.
"Three years is more than enough time, because my technology will continue to improve, and the progress will be faster. In the future, I will be able to develop more advanced biological gene lock technology. As long as I don't want to, no one can crack the genetic code of the biological products I develop. So... it's time to announce the news that I have conquered AIDS." Addison Bryce was tidying up the laboratory and sorting out relevant research materials in an orderly manner. Those materials seemed to be his numerous military exploits in the scientific research battlefield, and every page carried his efforts and wisdom. He took off his scientific research clothes, which witnessed his countless days and nights of hard work and struggle. Then he picked up his mobile phone and prepared to start a new journey. His eyes were full of expectation and determination, as if he had seen the vast world in the field of genetic technology in the future, waiting for him to explore and conquer.
