Theodore sat down and asked his assistant to pour him a cup of coffee:
"Don't forget, I went to Geneva, Switzerland to attend the World Health Organization meeting. There were Chinese staff on site distributing information, and almost every participant had a copy."
Professor Anthony was obviously full of questions:
"Why didn't they submit their papers? Conquering tuberculosis is a groundbreaking medical breakthrough. Shouldn't they submit to journals like The Lancet or The New England Journal of Medicine? Are they afraid to submit, or is there some other reason?"
Professor Theodore explains:
"I also asked this question to my Chinese colleagues at the time, and their answer was that their country was currently under blockade by Western governments, and their paper would definitely not be recognized by the Western medical community, and the manuscript would be buried in the sea.
But they were afraid of missing out, as they might be beaten to the punch by medical teams in other countries who announced they had conquered tuberculosis. So they had no choice but to use this desperate measure and publish these papers to the world through national news media.”
Carol nodded slightly, indicating that she agreed with this reasoning.
"China's concerns are justified. If I were an editor, I might also be biased and unwilling to open the Chinese envelope, and would directly throw it in the trash."
Professor Anthony started pulling his hair out again:
"Impossible, impossible! If you said it was medical teams from England, France, West Germany, or Italy that conquered tuberculosis, I would believe it, but why did it have to be China?
This is a world of backward, ignorant, and uncivilized barbarians. Like primitive tribes, they can't even provide basic medical services. How can they possibly solve a century-old problem at the pinnacle of medicine?
It is obvious that Professor Anthony, as a white man, has very deep prejudices, which is what Lin Sanqi is most worried about, because white supremacy was very prevalent throughout the 1950s and 1960s.
As for the black movement, it didn't reach its peak until the 1970s, and then it gained great privileges until the advent of zero-dollar shopping.
As for the yellow race, they have always been the target of bullying in the United States. Not to mention the Chinese who have different ideologies, even the Japanese, the bastards of the United States, are bullied.
The only awesome country is South Korea. A show called "Koreans on the Roof" in Los Angeles made the Koreans famous and they are no longer looked down upon by other races.
As Lin Sanqi had expected, if he dared to submit the manuscript to major international medical journals, none of the white editors would believe it, and it was not certain whether it would be delivered to the editor-in-chief. It might have ended up in the trash early on.
Secondly, if the editor believes it, he will suppress the manuscript and then plagiarize it himself and publish the paper first.
After all, this is the most tempting fruit growing on the tree of technology. Money is attractive, and who doesn't want fame and fortune? Plagiarism scandals are too common in Europe and the United States. How can the descendants of robbers suddenly become saints?
By then, Lin Sanqi or the Chinese side will not be able to find anyone to appeal for justice.
The news media is controlled by capitalists, the experts and professors in major hospitals are also controlled by capitalists, and even the political power in European and American countries is controlled by capitalists.
When Lin Sanqi submits the petition, the judge who is supported by capital will definitely ask: Who is suing me in this court?
Professor Theodore was obviously more rational and objective, and his tone remained unchanged as he asked cheerfully:
“So, I didn’t announce in advance which country or medical team the papers were from. Instead, I let you read the papers first, so that you wouldn’t have a bad impression of being in the lead and could view the papers fairly and impartially.
Anthony, you're anxious and angry, which means you already believe in the authenticity and value of these papers. So you're afraid, afraid that your Chinese counterparts will overtake you, afraid that your life's hard work will be wasted, right?"
Professor Anthony didn't answer, still staring blankly at the Chinese edition of the Renzhi Daily. Then, looking at the photo in the newspaper, an idea suddenly occurred to him:
"Theodore, look at this photo. Blake, Carol, Austin, and Clifford, all of you come over and take a look at this photo. The young man in the middle of the photo is the head of the Chinese Tuberculosis Research Group, right?"
Professor Theodore nodded somewhat blankly:
"Yes, I was a little surprised when I first got the newspaper. I confirmed it again and again with Chinese diplomats. They said that this young doctor is only in his 20s. It's really surprising."
Professor Anthony waved his hand:
"I'm not lamenting the age of this person in charge. Queen Elizabeth II was in her 20s when she ascended the throne, and Carol and Austen were only 30, so age is not a problem.
I want to ask everyone, do you think these five Chinese papers are credible? Do you believe that China has conquered tuberculosis, the pinnacle of medical research?
Professor Theodore nodded slightly:
“After reading the paper, I think it is 70% credible because there are no logical loopholes in the paper, and many of the arguments are consistent with our previous research results, which shows that they have done in-depth research.
The biggest difference between them and us is that they have already gone beyond the theoretical stage and invented relevant drugs, while we have discovered the problem but have not yet solved it, which is why China has taken the lead."
Several other assistants in the office also nodded slightly.
"The theory in their paper is indeed correct, and we have verified it, which shows that they are not making it up at random."
"China also has no problems with pharmacology. For example, they use polymicrobial enzyme β-oxygen to inhibit bacterial RNA synthesis and prevent RNA transcription. This view is consistent with my research conclusions."
(Lin Sanqi: I copied from a textbook, so the theory is of course the most authoritative and scientific)
Professor Anthony chuckled at this time:
"Alright, although the Chinese paper is questionable, it's still quite likely to be true. Even if the Chinese are just bragging, it's certain that they are already a world leader in tuberculosis research. Is that okay with everyone?"
The medical team in the office consists of the world's top infectious disease experts and doctors of medicine. They are experts in the field and, without the ideological filter, they naturally understand the weight of these five papers.
If these five papers were published by their Harvard team, they would have caused a sensation around the world.
"So since we can't beat them, why don't we join them? Oh no, I misunderstood. Why don't we let the young doctor in the photo join our Harvard team?
We can promise to grant him American citizenship, invite him to become an associate professor at Harvard Medical School, or even a professor. We can also provide him with a villa, a car, and even as many Hollywood actresses as he wants.
If he wants fame, we give him fame; if he wants money, we give him money; if he wants women, we help him pimp. Do you think such young people can resist these sugar-coated bullets?
As long as he brings his research results to us, we can publish papers and apply for patents for various tuberculosis drugs. Just think about it, all the money and fame will be ours."
Professor Anthony's face became redder and redder, and he became more and more excited as he spoke, and at the same time he persuaded the others as well:
"Yeah, why didn't I think of that."
"The professor is truly far-sighted. This idea is absolutely brilliant."
"The Chinese have never taken intellectual property seriously, yet they're so naive to even mention it in the newspapers. We deserve to be rich!"
Who says Americans are all straight-laced? They're also very good at flattering others. The only true saints are found in Qufu. They kneel to everyone who comes to them. Isn't that what a saint is?
Professor Theodore suddenly slammed the table:
"Yes, yes, yes, yes. China's medical team, including this young doctor, is like a rough diamond. If we win them over while no one else is paying attention, they will become our best help."
Professor Anthony was also a little complacent at this time:
"Then let's act quickly. Oh, by the way, we don't have diplomatic relations with China. We can go to China for an investigation in the name of the World Health Organization. I want to meet this amazing young Chinese man in person to see if they can really cure tuberculosis."
Professor Theodore strongly agrees:
"Okay, I'll give the WHO a heads-up. We're going to China at our own expense anyway, so they don't need to pay. Dylan, who's in charge of external relations at the WHO, is an old friend of mine. I'll ask him to issue us a certificate. He'll definitely give us this little bit of face."
"Then there's no time to lose. Let's take action now. China happens to be a mysterious country, so we can take the opportunity to travel there."
"I want to go too. I want to go too. I also want to see the Great Wall!"
"I will be responsible for applying for a visa from the Chinese Liaison Office in the United States..." (End of this chapter)
