After Dean Brown finished talking about that incident, he smiled, patted Addison Bryce on the shoulder, and left the laboratory first. Other academicians also smiled and said goodbye to Addison Bryce. The president of Harvard University, the president of Caltech, Johnson, Professor Miller and others also left one after another.
In the laboratory, the noise gradually dissipated and calm was restored. However, this silence did not last long, and footsteps were soon heard outside the laboratory. Addison Bryce went to check and saw two Harvard University security guards standing guard at the door. It seemed that they were arranged by the president to protect the safety of the laboratory. Addison Bryce took the initiative to greet them, and then returned to the laboratory to work.
He was not in a hurry to write a paper, but focused on optimizing the genes of the new macrophages. The chimpanzee experiment was about to begin. Due to the differences in physiological characteristics between chimpanzees and humans, the adjustment of the genes of the new macrophages was critical to ensure the smooth progress of the experiment. At the same time, he also needed to consider the issue of human drug clinical trials. The human immune system has a strict rejection mechanism. Once T cells detect the invasion of foreign bodies, they will quickly launch an attack. The new macrophages that are about to be injected into the patient's body are undoubtedly "foreign bodies" recognized by the immune system. Therefore, how to make the new macrophages escape the attack of the patient's immune system has become a problem that Addison Bryce urgently needs to solve.
At this time, the abnormal situation in the laboratory has attracted the attention of many Harvard students. Not far from the laboratory, a group of students gathered together and talked about it.
"It feels like something big happened in the laboratory! Security guards were arranged to stand guard. I wanted to take a photo just now, but they stopped me." A student wearing glasses said with a bit of curiosity and unwillingness.
"You came too late. When I came, the security guards hadn't arrived yet, but I saw the president and a group of academicians go in. I dare to bet my living expenses for next month that the laboratory must have achieved major results, and it may shock the world!" Another student with a short haircut was excited.
"Stop talking nonsense, let's talk seriously. Does anyone know who is using this lab?" A girl frowned and asked.
"Not sure." Everyone shook their heads.
"I know! It's Addison Bryce who is using it. That's Addison Bryce who got full marks in the college entrance examination and is now Professor Johnson's student. However, he did not participate in Professor Johnson's project, but applied for the lab himself. I heard that he is studying AIDS." A well-informed student proudly shared his intelligence.
"No way... I suddenly have a bold idea. Could it be that Addison Bryce has conquered AIDS?" A boy widened his eyes and raised his voice unconsciously.
"Don't say it, it's really possible. Otherwise, how could so many academicians come here, and the school even arranges security guards to guard it." Another student touched his chin and analyzed.
"Oh my God! He is only 18 years old. He conquered AIDS at the age of 18? I can't imagine it. It's incredible!" The girl covered her mouth with shock.
"Although it's hard to believe, it's very likely true. Addison Bryce is not an ordinary person. He studied biology for two weeks and published a paper in Cell magazine. He is a genius!"
"He is not a genius, he is a god!"
At the same time, in Cambridge, there is a building that looks ordinary on the outside, but it is actually the office of a secret department. Harris, the best special agent of the department, walked into the leader's office.
"Boss, what is the mission this time?" Harris and the leader have a good relationship and asked directly.
"An extremely important mission." The leader said, picked up a file bag from the table and handed it to Harris.
Harris opened the file bag and a document came into view. There was a photo attached to the document, which showed a handsome young man. Judging from his temperament, he was obviously a student.
The leader continued, "The person in the photo is Addison Blythe, a student at Harvard University. You lead a team to ensure the safety of Addison Blythe and his girlfriend. There are other people responsible for the safety of his parents. You must remember that even if you sacrifice yourself, you must not let Addison Blythe get into trouble."
Harris was confused, but he answered without hesitation: "I understand!" After that, he began to read the file carefully.
"Addison Blythe, male, 18 years old, top scorer in the college entrance examination in North Carolina, full score in the college entrance examination..."
"In two weeks, he developed a single-base gene editing technology, and the paper was published in the journal Cell..."
"Technology to overcome AIDS, this technology has been confirmed by academicians, is a major weapon of a great country, related to the core interests of the country, and is an important strategic bargaining chip for our country..."
"Dean Brown of the Institute of Biology commented: Addison Blythe is a true genius, and his value is inestimable..."
After reading the file, Harris' eyes were full of shock. After living for so many years, this is the first time he has seen such a genius. In his opinion, such a genius is at least worth five divisions. At this moment, he finally understood why the leader repeatedly emphasized that even if he sacrificed his life, Addison Bryce must not be allowed to get into trouble.
"Are you confident that you can complete the mission?" The leader asked again, his eyes serious.
"I guarantee that I will complete the mission!" Harris straightened his back and responded decisively.
