Chapter 29, The Idea of Fighting Poison with Poison
Liu Yi on the podium was full of concern for his country and people. Facing the increasingly severe global disease situation, Liu Yi knew that this was just like normal national defense. Only when his country was strong enough in the field of biotechnology could he defend the lives and health of his people.
Otherwise, if he fell behind in biotechnology, today's Africa is the best example. All medicines need to be imported. Every year, I don't know how many people die from diseases, and many of them actually need very common medicines to cure them, but even the most common medicines are very precious and rare in many African countries.
Every year, the World Health Organization needs to support large numbers of drugs and medical personnel. However, relying on others is ultimately a drop in the bucket. Among the countries in Africa, the average life expectancy is far below the world average, and the average life expectancy in many countries is only a pitiful 40 years old.
Various diseases are spreading rampantly in Africa, especially AIDS. In many African countries, even half of the population in the entire country has AIDS, and they are simply helpless in the face of the disease.
Only when a country has strong biotechnology can it be at ease in the face of major disease disasters. Moreover, countries around the world are now researching terrible biological weapons. If they are not strong enough in this regard, they will be more vulnerable to huge threats.
Li Fu, who had been listening to the class silently under the podium, slowly raised his right hand at this time, indicating that he had questions to ask. The whole classroom was very quiet. Seeing Li Fu raise his hand, everyone looked over.
Liu Yi on the podium smiled at Li Fu and nodded to signal Li Fu to speak.
"Teacher, you just said that viruses are essentially a kind of life. If it is life, why can't we try to deal with viruses from a biological perspective? For example, for HIV, can we find a virus that can restrain and eliminate HIV, and this virus is harmless to us humans."
Li Fu stood up and spoke slowly.
Li Fu's words were naturally not aimless. Li Fu has learned a lot of new methods and concepts for dealing with biological viruses from the seeds of super civilization these days. What Li Fu just mentioned is one of them.
"Classmate, can you introduce yourself?"
After listening to Li Fu's words, Liu Yi smiled slightly, and did not answer Li Fu's words directly, but asked Li Fu first.
"My name is Li Fu, and I am from Class 2, Grade 3, Majoring in Biomedicine."
Li Fu nodded and briefly introduced himself.
"Classmate Li Fu, your idea is very good. Your method is called "fighting poison with poison" in the words of our ancients. Of course, there is no such saying of fighting poison with poison in the medical and biological circles around the world, but there are relevant cases in medicine."
"Now a hot topic in medical research is cancer. If cancer is compared to poison, chemotherapy and radiotherapy are both fighting poison with poison, because chemotherapy and radiotherapy are also very harmful to our human body, and even such therapies are difficult to say that they are effective in dealing with cancer."
"Also, in the era of opium addiction, in order to relieve the pain of patients and the casualties of soldiers on the battlefield, medical scientists separated the analgesic components in opium and invented it? Morphine. At that time, the analgesic effect of morphine was very obvious, but later it was found that morphine was more addictive and was strictly controlled. "
"When the addictive and toxic nature of morphine was discovered, some people added some synthetic substances to some of the ingredients of morphine and invented heroin. In the era when heroin was called medicine, it became a panacea for all kinds of pain, whether it was stomachache, headache, limb pain, etc., a little heroin would cure all the pain. But now what heroin is, I think everyone knows it. "
On the podium, Liu Yi nodded to Li Fu, and then began to talk about this topic. He is knowledgeable and very clear about many things in biotechnology and biomedicine, and can easily tell a variety of cases.
"I say this not to deny the new idea proposed by Li Fu. On the contrary, I think the idea and thinking proposed by Li Fu is a very good idea and a unique approach."
"In the case I just described, whether it is chemotherapy or radiotherapy, the essence is to deal with cancer and get patients out of the clutches of the disease. If we can really find or cultivate a new virus, this virus only targets the corresponding disease and has no effect on our human body, or the effect is within a controllable range, this will open a new chapter in the history of human biology, and it may be very likely to be realized in the future, generous and glorious."
Liu Yi actually took a positive attitude towards Li Fu's proposal, which surprised everyone present. After all, the cases he mentioned at the beginning seemed to be negative, but he didn't expect that in the end he actually affirmed the new idea proposed by Li Fu, and even gave it a very high evaluation.
I believe that if this method and idea can really be realized, it will open a new chapter in the history of biology and make an outstanding contribution to human victory over disease.
"Student Li Fu, your ideas and thoughts are very good. I hope you can explore this path. Just like the emergence of immunology, humans discovered that if they injected some viruses into their bodies to form immunity, they would be immune to the virus in the future. We humans relied on this method to defeat the smallpox virus."
"Maybe in the future, Li Fu's new ideas and methods can help us humans overcome more diseases and benefit all of humanity."
Liu Yi encouraged Li Fu with a smile on his face. He always admires young people with ideas and always likes to encourage young people to pursue their dreams.
Li Fu could only smile after listening. He didn't expect Liu Yi to give such a high evaluation, but he admired Liu Yi even more in his heart. Liu Yi was bold enough to affirm this new idea and method that had never appeared before. At least on the road of scientific exploration, Liu Yi's spirit is very valuable.
……
Liu Yi's lectures are very interesting. His research in biotechnology is also quite deep. Many times, he can explain a profound thing in a simple way, and he can also quote various theories, making the whole lecture very interesting, interesting and attractive.
A class lasted 2 hours, and Liu Yi kept talking from beginning to end. Everyone in the classroom listened with great interest. There was no such thing as playing with mobile phones in other classes.
Of course, it cannot be denied that Yanhuang University is the top university in China. Students who can enter Yanhuang University are all talented young people. They are very passionate about learning. Even in the relaxed environment of the university, they can restrain themselves very well.
With the ringing of bells, Liu Yi just finished his lecture. There was one class a week, and the whole course lasted 2 hours. Liu Yi did not take a break in the middle, and even did not drink a sip of water. This dedication alone is enough to make countless people ashamed.
Li Fu sorted out today's lecture notes while packing up his things and preparing to go to the library to read. During this period of time, Li Fu basically spent his time in the library, checking various science and technology books.
Because he has been practicing Yuanli all the time, Li Fu's body and brain have been continuously developed by Yuanli. Li Fu learns things very quickly. Apart from other things, just reading books, Li Fu can already read ten lines at a glance and remember everything he has read. In addition, he learns the technology of super civilization from super civilization seeds every day.
Li Fu found that he needed to learn more and more things, and only the massive amount of books in the library of Yanhuang University could satisfy Li Fu's growing appetite. Li Fu was immersed in learning and the ocean of knowledge like a hungry thirst.
"Student Li Fu."
At this time, a young man came over. This young man wore a pair of black-framed glasses and exuded a refined temperament. It was obvious that he was an intellectual at a glance.
"Who are you?"
Li Fu looked at the man in front of him and felt very strange. He didn't know him at all.
"I am Tang Li, assistant to Academician Liu Yi. The teacher asked me to come over and ask you to come over to talk."
Tang Li had a smile on his face. He was also born in the biomedical major of Yanhuang University. He is currently a doctoral student. He is currently studying biological virology with Liu Yi. He is also a well-known biological scientist.
"Ah!"
When Li Fu heard this, he was stunned. He had never expected that Liu Yi would come to talk to him alone.
"Haha, this is a good thing. Maybe the teacher wants to take you as a student. Maybe we can call each other brothers in the future."
Tang Li smiled. He knew his teacher very well. If he met a very good student, Tang Li would think of taking him as a disciple. Liu Yi admired Li Fu's performance in class just now, so he asked Tang Li to check Li Fu's resume and found that Li Fu was indeed a promising talent, so he asked Tang Li to come.
He was going to have a good talk with Li Fu and get to know Li Fu more deeply. Finally, he would decide whether to take Li Fu as a student. As the top biological scientist in China, Liu Yi was qualified enough to take him as a disciple. There was no problem whether he was a graduate student or a doctoral student.
Of course, he doesn't accept just anyone. He always accepts only those he admires and likes, and he also has to think that there is no problem with the character before he will accept students. Otherwise, even if he spends a lot of money or favors, Liu Yi will never accept a disciple.
