Chapter 644: Departure for the Great Northwest (Two chapters combined!)
When they returned to Cheng Dong's side, the doctor inside hadn't come out yet. Gu Yin looked at the specialist who was guarding the room and asked, "Any developments in the latter half of the night?"
The man saluted: "No! But an hour after you left, a doctor came out, asked where you were, and when he learned you were next door, he went in."
Gu Yin nodded upon hearing this. Since no one came to call her, it wasn't a bad situation.
Gu Yin waited a while longer, then the door opened from the inside, and the doctor came out. When he saw Gu Yin, he smiled and said, "Is there good news over there too?"
Gu Yin nodded: "It's definitely under control. How's the teacher doing?"
The doctor frowned and said, "The good news is that this medicine is indeed effective! It can kill cancer cells! The bad news is that this medicine cannot eradicate the factors that cause the disease in Mr. Cheng's body! In that case, even with the medicine, it cannot cure the disease; it can only slow down the process of death. It's like Mr. Cheng's body is a battlefield, where diseased cells are constantly growing and new cells are also growing. The two forces are fighting. Even if the diseased side is at the lower level, as long as it is not eradicated, it will continue to grow. Young people can still withstand it, but the elderly will suffer greatly."
Just like Xiaosheng's situation, it can only be controlled, not completely eliminated.
After learning about the situation, Gu Yin told her former boss and immediately returned to the hospital.
After the application for Phase II medical treatment was approved, the hospital has already started the experiment.
After returning, Gu Yin immediately changed her clothes, disinfected herself, and went to the patient's ward.
"How is it? Did you take the medicine?" Gu Yin came to Wen Xin's side, reached out and picked up the folder next to her, and looked through the records.
Upon seeing Gu Yin return, Wen Xin immediately said, "The medication was administered last night! The effect is excellent! The diseased cells in the early-stage patients have been eliminated! All of them underwent tests this morning! Except for those who were still weak after surgery and those with inflammation, the data have returned to normal! The doctors and patients simply can't believe it!! It's amazing!"
The patients who come here are all people who have undergone surgery and are preparing for chemotherapy. After midnight, those cells stopped spreading! By daybreak, the area where the surgery was performed had completely disappeared! Instead, it was covered by newly grown healthy cells! If it weren't for the surgical scars, they would hardly believe they had ever been sick!
Gu Yin nodded and put the folder down: "Continue to observe! Even if it's all healed, you can't leave until the experiment's scheduled time, otherwise it will be troublesome if anything unexpected happens!"
The patient in the bed had been staring at Gu Yin ever since she entered. Upon hearing Gu Yin's words, she immediately assured her, "Miss Zhou, don't worry! We will abide by the rules and regulations! If you don't tell us to leave, we won't! You're a capable person! We will definitely listen to what you say! You are truly a bodhisattva! Our whole family has been saved by you! We are so grateful to you!!"
Gu Yin asked in confusion, "One family?"
Wenxin nodded: "His father is in the intensive care unit. He's in the late stage. If it weren't for your medicine, he would have passed away by the end of this year at the latest... It's hereditary in them."
Gu Yin nodded upon hearing this, looked at the excited patient, and smiled, "I'm just lucky that you were all able to get in. No need to thank me. You rest first, I'll go check on your father."
The patient nodded repeatedly: "Go ahead and do your work!"
Gu Yin arrived at the intensive care monitoring room, where Fang Chongming was recording data. When he saw Gu Yin come in, he got up and handed her the data book.
Gu Yin took it and asked as she flipped through it, "How's this side?"
Fang Chongming explained: "After they were brought here, all chemotherapy and medication were stopped. After the injection last night, we kept observing them and found that the spreading cells had stopped growing! But there was no change after that. After discussing with the director, we increased the dosage for them! The diseased cells began to disappear slowly. By dawn, those broken and barren organs had grown immune cells! And the new cells stimulated by the drugs had also survived! There was no further lesioning!"
Gu Yin wasn't surprised and nodded: "You did a good job. By the way, do patients with inherited cancer genes have the same treatment outcomes as other patients?"
Fang Chongming affirmed, "I paid special attention to those patients and compared the data multiple times; they are the same!"
It seems that only genetic mutations caused by external factors cannot be completely cured. She still needs to make a trip to that laboratory.
Gu Yin handed the data to Fang Chongming: "Continue to observe, and remember to notify me if there are any changes."
After leaving the hospital, Gu Yin went home and took a nap.
When I woke up, it was already dark.
After dinner, she went to the courtyard house again.
When Gu Yin saw that the lights were on in the courtyard, she was surprised.
Pushing open the lab door, Gu Yin twitched her lips and said, "Hey guys, you haven't been sitting here for days without eating or drinking, have you?"
Hearing the voice, the group looked over. Zhao Chengguo laughed and said, "Young comrade, you're back! Don't worry, we've got food arranged for us, so we won't go hungry. It's just that seeing such great equipment made us a little reluctant to leave! Hehe, have we caused you any trouble?"
Gu Yin didn't let them leave when she left. It certainly won't cause any trouble.
"No, you are national treasures. I'm just worried that you'll work so hard you'll forget to eat and sleep! Here, if you don't think my place is too small, you can do your experiments here too! Besides, I have a lot of holidays here, so you can rest here when you're tired."
She had seen these people secretly conducting experiments with the lithography machine before. They were probably afraid that Gu Yin would disagree, since it was Gu Yin's private property. But they also felt that the opportunity was too good to pass up, so they did something so embarrassing.
Hearing Gu Yin say this, Zhao Chengguo and the others knew that Gu Yin knew. They weren't embarrassed at all; instead, they were happy and said, "We do have an experiment where the lithography machine issue has been stalled! How could we possibly look down on the fact that we can conduct the experiment here!"
After saying that, he made a phone call. An hour later, a truck brought their equipment and materials to the courtyard house. As a result, the security level of the courtyard house was also raised!
The next day, when Meng Yu came looking for someone, she couldn't get in. After calling Gu Yin, she still couldn't get in. Helpless, Gu Yin had to leave.
When Meng Yu saw Gu Yin come out, he said helplessly, "Your place is even more impenetrable than the teacher's laboratory!"
There's no way around it, there are just too many national treasures inside.
After getting into Meng Yu's car, Gu Yin smiled and asked, "Did you need something from Senior Sister?"
Meng Yu nodded: "I went to the sanatorium to see my teacher this morning. He's still receiving treatment. They said he used your medicine. How is it? Is he cured?"
Gu Yin shook her head: "We can only control it. The best outcome is coexistence, but who knows what will happen in the long run? After all, those unknown things have always been unsolvable."
Meng Yu frowned: "It is indeed difficult, but I heard from the teacher that you want to go to his lab? What are you thinking? That's not a place that just anyone can go!"
Looking at the passing vehicles, Gu Yin said in a deep voice, "Everyone says I'm smart, so I should go to the most dangerous places. If I don't go, those who have dedicated their lives to the country will hardly have a chance to be cured. If I go, maybe there will still be a chance. Every sacrifice is a great loss to the country. It's not easy for the country to cultivate a talent. Many people have already sacrificed themselves, and many more will follow in their footsteps. They are not afraid, so why should I be afraid? I've become famous, while they won't be known until they die. I've gained something. Besides, I won't be in any danger. I'm just outside the protective shield. Isn't that how researchers are? If they have any thoughts of retreat, they will be haunted by inner demons later on."
Meng Yu sighed helplessly, "It's not like we're martial arts masters practicing, why are we talking about inner demons!"
"The greatest heroes are those who serve their country and its people! (As stated in Jin Yong's works) How can they not be considered great heroes?"
"If you're determined to go, then contact your senior brother and ask him to talk to your junior uncle. If your junior uncle agrees, you can go. However, your junior uncle is also sick, but he won't listen to advice and stays there, which shows how stubborn he is! It will be very difficult for you to persuade him!"
Gu Yin was surprised: "Junior Uncle has a lot of say in there?"
Meng Yu nodded and whispered, "He's the director! Senior Brother is his assistant. If we weren't from the same sect and our teacher hadn't gone to help, we wouldn't have been unaware of this."
So that's how it was!
"Give me your senior brother's phone number, I'll contact him directly!"
Meng Yu shook his head: "We can only contact them by email. They don't have telephones there, but they do have internal communication machines."
"Did the teacher ask you, senior, to tell me?"
Otherwise, how could Meng Yu have dared to say so much!
Meng Yu laughed: "As expected, I couldn't hide it from you. The teacher said that even after several years, he still couldn't crack that thing or find a cure for them. He hopes you can bring hope, but he has a condition: you have to make sure you don't enter the protective shield. Otherwise, you should just give up on this idea!"
Gu Yin sighed, realizing that Old Master Cheng had seen through her determination.
"Don't worry, I'll be careful!"
Gu Yin found some time and went to the sanatorium.
She first went to check on Xiaosheng.
When they arrived, Xiaosheng was already able to wear clothes. Although his whole body was still wrapped in gauze, he was no longer as terrifying as before.
How have you been feeling lately?
Xiao Sheng is still in the ward, but people outside can now go in.
He is eating right now.
Seeing Gu Yin arrive was quite a pleasant surprise.
"The pain and itching only come every few days, and my skin cracks, like when I get frostbite, and it bleeds. But compared to before, it's much better now. At least I can stay conscious and live like a human being! Thank you! What brings you here?"
“I came to see the teacher about something, and I also thought I'd drop by to check on you. It’s best if you don’t go out in this condition; there are too many germs outside, and you have too many wounds, which isn’t good for your recovery.”
She went through three layers of disinfection when she came in.
Xiao Sheng knew he was vulnerable right now, and he didn't want to burden others, so he smiled and nodded: "It's all for my own good, I know."
After reading Xiao Sheng's story, Gu Yin went to find her teacher.
When I arrived, the other person was leaning against the hospital bed reading a book.
"Teacher, how have you been lately?"
Old Cheng put down his glasses and smiled, "It's much better than before. It doesn't hurt as much as it used to. The pain now is completely bearable. You came here because of the research institute? Do you really have to go?"
Gu Yin nodded: "Go."
Old Cheng sighed, "I knew you'd say that. Bring me my computer."
Gu Yincong handed him the computer from the sofa.
Cheng Dong took the email, pressed a button, and said, "I've sent an email to your junior uncle. When you get back, send him the application report. I've already sent you his email address. I only have one request: come back safely. I mean safe and sound, not like what we're like now, understand?"
Gu Yin solemnly assured him, "I will! After all, I'm terribly afraid of dying!"
Old Cheng shook his head. If someone were truly afraid of death, they would definitely avoid such matters at all costs, and would not bother to go to the front line!
"Go back and write your application. By the way, that research institute is in the Northwest, and the environment is very harsh. The higher-ups will arrange for someone to take you there."
After leaving the sanatorium and returning to the laboratory, Gu Yin wrote an application.
The application contained only one line: "The nation treats me as a scholar, and I will repay it as a scholar of the nation!"①
Half an hour later, the email replied with only two words: "Agreed".
Because of her impending departure, Gu Yin began to neglect her sleep and meals.
The chip has been made, but we haven't done experiments on mice yet. We need to find a very skilled surgeon. Whether it's experiments on mice or volunteers, we'll need someone to operate on them!
With the country's backing, Gu Yin directly contacted Chief No. 3 and asked him to help her find it so that she could start testing it as soon as she returned from her business trip.
Yes, that's what we say to outsiders: a business trip.
After everything was explained, Gu Yin, along with the five soldiers assigned to her, boarded a train bound for the Northwest Desert.
