Chapter 514 Professor Zhang, you're not human!!!
The three of them arrived at the laboratory on the first floor and saw Wu Ye sitting on the sofa drinking water, surrounded by several people.
Upon seeing the three people come down, the group dispersed.
Gu Yin looked at Wu Ye: "How is it?"
Wu Ye put down the hot water: "The tests have been completed, and we're waiting for the data. Your senior brother is doing the tests, and he told me to sit down, drink some water, and rest."
Upon hearing this, Director Zhang looked at his former superior and Gu Yin: "I want to go in and take a look. Do you want to come along?"
Gu Yin shook her head: "I've already seen the data in the previous lab."
The old leader also looked at it and shook his head.
Director Zhang went in by himself.
In the laboratory, four people were busy working.
Director Zhang walked over to Zhang Ge, who was busy at work, and asked, "How's it going? Are the results the same as the data they brought over from over there?"
Seeing that it was the director, Zhang Ge moved aside: "Director, take a look for yourself! It's unheard of and unseen! Calling it a miracle is no exaggeration! The cells are still dividing! Immune cells have actually reappeared in a terminal patient! And they're frantically attacking those virus cells! If it weren't for the fact that his blood actually carries the AIDS virus, I would have thought he was a young man who had regained his youth! The nutritional supplements they developed are truly amazing!"
After reading it, Director Zhang nodded: "I happen to have something to talk to you about. Are you planning to let Wu Ye use your medicine?"
Zhang Ge asked in confusion, "Isn't this the reason he came here today? Or do you have some suggestions, Director? Director, that's real funding!"
Director Zhang rolled his eyes: "When did you become like them, always talking about funding!"
Zhang Ge looked at Director Zhang with suspicion: "Aren't we graduate students very poor? How about this, we'll handle all the funding that Mr. Wu Ye gave us ourselves, and you don't need to get involved, Director?"
Director Zhang coughed twice: "Well, you guys don't know how to manage funds, so it's better if I do it. You're all young and don't know how to manage money. By the way, if the medicine you make is useful for Wu Ye's next treatment, would you make the medicine?"
Zhang Ge pondered for a moment and nodded: "I will! You know I've been researching this for decades, and you also know that to do this research, I even went to the hospital to observe patients up close. Those terminal patients are truly pitiful! No medicine works; they can only wait to die, especially those children. They haven't even grown up yet, and they're abandoned because of this disease, then left to die. There are also people who were infected by accident because of their profession. I'm not a doctor, and those rotten people deserve to die, but there are still many innocent people waiting for their lives to be saved. So, if Wu Ye is cured, I will apply for the combination of the two drugs to conduct experiments! I'm determined to develop a targeted drug! I hope the director can help!"
Director Zhang is well aware of what Zhang Ge has done over the years. A scientist who dedicates his life to a single research project, not for money or fame, but solely to alleviate the plight of patients, has never given up on himself, even when he knows the hope is slim!
Although Zhang Ge couldn't develop a cure, he did achieve some success and helped some newly infected patients, extending their lifespans.
"I don't need to help with this. That medicine was developed by your junior colleague, and your former supervisor agreed to let you do it. But your former supervisor has one condition: when you publish the paper, your junior colleague's name must be listed as the second author. What do you think?"
Zhang Ge exclaimed in surprise, "It was actually done by Lao Wu! Hehe, my teacher has such a sharp eye! He took my junior sister under his wing when she was so young! I'm really lucky to have such a great teacher! What do you mean by second author! I'll give her the first author! She deserves it!"
After speaking, he looked at the students in the lab and asked, "Do you have any objections?"
The group quickly shook their heads: "Absolutely not! It's just that, teacher, could you please remove our names? Our junior master is so young yet so amazing. We feel ashamed and unworthy to have our names on the same page as hers!"
This is truly what they think!
Zhang Ge smiled and pointed at them: "Don't underestimate yourselves, I've seen it all! It's just that there are always people more capable than you! Keep up the good work!"
After saying that, he looked at Director Zhang and said, "You see, no one has any objections!"
Old Zhang shook his head: "She only needs to do the second work. She also has another work on eradicating shingles, which should be completed next year. She did that all by herself. She doesn't want to be too high-profile right now."
Zhang Ge frowned upon hearing this, then nodded: "I'll go ask later! Let's go out first, we still need to test the medicine on Wu Ye later, let him go and prepare!"
After the two came out, Zhang Ge went straight to Gu Yin and asked her about the title of the paper. Seeing that Gu Yin really did not want to be the first author, he smiled helplessly.
"Honestly, if it were anyone else, they'd want their name to be the only one on the paper! Believe me, if I leak this out now, not only will graduate schools send people to get involved, but even higher-ups will try to get their own kids in. Once this drug is released, it'll definitely cause a worldwide sensation! The authors on the paper will be basking in the glory! Have you really thought about all this? You should know how big the difference is between first author and second author!"
Gu Yin smiled and nodded: "I know, I understand. I won't get involved in the follow-up matters, and I don't have time to get involved either. Senior brother, you've been researching this area all along, so you definitely know more than I do! I think you deserve to be the first author! Don't worry about what I think. I'm no longer concerned about fame or honor. I'll definitely earn it back myself. I just wanted to ask you, senior brother, can you estimate how long it will take to make this medicine?"
Zhang Ge was taken aback, then his eyes widened: "You're not aiming for the Nobel Prize, are you?!"
Gu Yin smiled without saying a word.
Zhang Ge looked around, then moved closer and whispered, "You're really aiming for the Nobel Prize! It seems you're determined to win that experiment! I'll have to avoid you next year! I'll try the year after next, but then there will be clinical trials, which will take a long time, so it won't be quick."
Gu Yin nodded: "Okay, then I'll go for it next year and give it a try."
Zhang Ge looked at Gu Yin and exclaimed, "Once you become famous, it will be difficult for you to keep a low profile."
He learned from his teacher that Lao Wu was a rather low-key person, which made things difficult.
Gu Yin glanced at her former boss not far away and smiled, "Don't worry, I don't usually leave the campus or the lab, so it's not easy for anyone to find me. Besides, my name is already on the list, and my family has its own influence. Anyone who wants to mess with me should really think twice."
Zhang Ge thought about it and agreed, so he stopped worrying.
Wu Ye was taken into the laboratory, while Gu Yin and her former boss did not go in but waited outside.
In the evening, someone brought food over. After eating, they waited a while longer. Zhang Ge asked someone to come and say that there would be no result until at least tomorrow. The old leader took a nap in Director Zhang's lounge upstairs. Gu Yin did not go to sleep, but sat on the sofa outside and closed her eyes to rest for a while.
Inside the laboratory, Wu Ye was enduring pain.
"Professor Zhang! This medicine of yours might need some improvement! I'm such a strong-willed person! I just want to die! It hurts so much! This feeling is like my blood and flesh are being crushed, drained, and then regrown! You'd better change it! I didn't die from the infection, but I'm dying from the pain! Ahhh!!!! XXXX!"
What followed was a long string of foreign languages that no one could understand!
However, seeing that he was soaked in sweat and his face was contorted, everyone felt that those words were definitely a scathing insult to Zhang Ge!
