Chapter 443 Musk takes action to turn the tide!
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Long Island, New York.
"Close Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory!"
"These unscrupulous scientists must be responsible for the deaths of 3,275 compatriots!"
"Repay money from debts, kill people to pay for their lives!"
When Elon Musk came to the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, thousands of people holding slogans had gathered outside the wall. They were holding loud speakers and making loud noises, claiming to arrest all the scientists in the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.
For safety reasons, local police detectives isolated the demonstrators from the laboratory, but this did not stop the angry people from throwing stones into the laboratory yard. Musk saw someone taking the opportunity to throw debris into the Lengquan Harbor compound and shook his head gently.
Although Xingchen Technology provided blockers in time, more than 3,000 patients who took genetic drugs still died. This incident caused storms in North America. Large-scale marches broke out in not only New York City, but also across the United States, requiring authorities to avenge the deceased.
The North American people are mainly ashamed and angry about Star Technology. They promote gene immunotherapy with great fanfare, but in the end they have to rely on their opponents to help. How can this make people feel sorry for?
It has to be said that Luo Jia's rescue of North America was a wise decision. While bringing a huge reputation to Xingchen Technology, it also put Lengquan Port Laboratory and North American authorities in an embarrassing situation.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that North America is China's only opponent. Although it seems that Star Technology has suffered a loss when it comes to helping North America for free, if you listen to how Europe and East Asia outside North America discuss this matter, you will understand Luo Jia's deep-seated considerations in his decision.
In just one night, Xingchen Technology's reputation in Europe and East Asia has increased significantly, especially the people in East Asia. They generally think that Xingchen Technology is quite responsible.
We all belong to the Confucian cultural circle and are both the most capable countries on the earth. The industries complement each other and the people's living habits are close. Assuming that the countries in East Asia can join forces, it will be a terrifying force on the earth.
Tesla luxury electric vehicles slowly passed through the protesters. After Musk greeted the police at the gate, he was put into the laboratory.
Here, Musk saw a decadent scene. Reinhardt was taking his colleagues to destroy experimental documents. They placed oil barrels in the yard and threw the documents into the oil barrel to burn them.
Musk frowned, looked at the black smoke rising up the sky, walked to Reinhardt, and patted his shoulder gently.
"Are you here to catch me?" Reinhardt turned his head and asked tentatively after seeing that it was Musk.
"How is that possible? I'm not the FBI." Musk shrugged and said, "Besides, I won't let anyone touch you. I went to Washington before coming to New York."
Reinhardt was stunned and looked at Musk in surprise, showing an incredible look, muttering in a low voice: "Washington? Did you say you're going..."
"I went to the White House," Musk yawned and said, "In twenty-four hours, from California to Washington, and from Washington to you, running all the way. Don't you plan to sit down and have a cup of coffee?"
Reinhardt quickly apologized to Musk, solemnly invited him to his office, and asked his assistant to present Musk's favorite Blue Mountain Coffee.
Holding a coffee cup, Musk told Reinhardt about what happened not long ago. At the White House, Musk and the President had a heart-warming discussion for ninety minutes.
"I've saved you." Musk said directly: "For this, he had a big fight with the Ministry of Public Relations. Those stupid politicians only know how to please the people and obey the damn mob."
Reinhardt was moved by this. Musk is different from Dr. Jerryn. He is more high-profile and arrogant. He likes to drive the fastest sports car and flirt with the hottest female stars.
"Immune activation is just the first step in the life sciences quadruple. The road ahead is still long. We still have the chance. Come on, my friend." Musk said to Reinhardt with a smile.
Reinhardt was slightly stunned and frowned. People who usually engage in genes and life sciences do not use the word tetralogy. The first step is immune activation, the second step is metabolic activation, and the third step is prolonging life and preventing cell aging.
There is no problem with the three major steps of the evolutionary route of life sciences. The problem lies in the fourth step, genetic modification.
Genetic transformation is equivalent to scientists playing the role of God, making arbitrary corrections to life, and even artificially creating creatures that do not exist in nature, which seriously violates traditional ethics. Judging from Musk's meaning, he seems to not care about traditional ethics.
Musk continued to talk, "Immune activation can allow humans to gain the ability to fight viruses, which is indeed very powerful, but if we can win the second step in life sciences and metabolic control, its significance will definitely exceed that of the immune system."
"The reason why most humans start to gain weight from middle age is not that our appetite increases, but that our metabolism speed decreases, eating the same food, but the body's consumption capacity becomes worse, so we stock up on more and more fat."
"There is also artificial meat. Cultivating meat in the laboratory at the speed of cell reproduction. The root cause is to use metabolic technology to accelerate cell division. As long as we can increase the metabolism speed to a fast enough, we can get the whole world a steak that we can never finish without a cow!"
"Huaxia is a country with many individuals and few lands. It is a traditional agricultural country. For land and food, the Chinese have a belief-like worship. They will definitely invest crazy R&D power in metabolic technology. Believe me, as a typical agricultural civilization, they will definitely do it. As long as we can defeat them in metabolic research, it will cause a fatal blow to them."
"Based on the same principle, metabolic technology can also be used in medical care, artificially cultivated organs in the laboratory. Think about it, if this technology is combined with immune activation technology, how many people will regain their vitality every year."
Musk's eyes shining and talking about his ideals. In his opinion, immune activation is of course very powerful, but it can be even stronger. The long competition in life sciences has just begun, and it is not certain who can laugh to the end.
In fact, immune activation does not solve all the problems. Ye Wuchen can cure it because she suffers from viral heart disease. If it is a pathological heart disease, immune activation will be powerless.
After all, the immune system exists to kill viruses. Hepatitis B, AIDS, influenza, and these viral diseases are the specialty of immune activation therapy. If a person's organs are damaged or his arms and legs are missing, he or she needs to rely on the second stage of life sciences and metabolic control.
...
The sixth year of its establishment in Xingchen Technology, mid-March.
The new White House liaison officer Elon Musk took action, and he turned the tide. Relying on his strong personal influence, he persuaded the White House and Congress to make up for the mistakes of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. The relevant responsible persons do not need to bear joint and several liability for major medical accidents and continue research on life sciences.
As compensation, Lengquan Port Laboratory announced the lifting of its closure and officially joined the life science research consortium established by Musk. In the past, Lengquan Port was famous for its uniqueness and did not buy anyone's accounts. But now, Lengquan Port has chosen to compromise under heavy pressure.
Simply put, this laboratory full of racial discrimination and weird behavior was successfully recruited by Musk and became Musk's right-hand man, giving this North American super genius the strength to command the world in the field of life sciences.
After all, Lengquan Port Laboratory is still powerful, ranking first in the world in life sciences and genetic sciences. They did not do well in immune activation. They failed at the last moment just because they were too anxious. It was purely because of their bad luck, and it was definitely not because of their lack of strength.
With Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory as the main body, Musk frantically gathered the power of the Western fields of life sciences and genetic science.
There is no need to mention major laboratories and university research centers in North America, including Oxford, Cambridge, King's College, University of London, University of Edinburgh, University of Lausanne, University of Zurich, University of Copenhagen, Denmark, Carolineska College in Sweden, University of British Columbia, Canada, University of Munich, Germany, and University of Melbourne, Australia. These pan-Western scientific research forces are also gathered under Musk.
For some reason, the University of Tokyo, which ranks 15th in the field of life sciences and genetic research, did not respond to Musk's call, which is quite interesting.
When the time came late March, Musk finally made a comeback in the field of Western life sciences.
Unlike his predecessor, Dr. Jerryen, everything Musk does is obviously marked by a strong personal style and acts more aggressively. In addition to improving immune activation therapy, the research topics of metabolic control have also been mentioned in public more than once.
Musk is also a natural speaker. His ability to fool the whole world is definitely not inferior to Luo Jia. Although he drives a sports car to play stars, Western values like such an exaggerated existence, and countless people regard Musk as an idol in life.
Under the leadership of his idol Musk, the originally suppressed emotions gradually eased, and the West regained its confidence in life sciences.
Musk's horizontal and vertical alliance in the Western world has brought great pressure to Xingchen Technology. Compared with the Western scientific research foundation, Xingchen Technology has only established a life science department for less than two years, and obviously does not have an advantage.
Taking the very critical sequencing technology in the gene field as an example, among the top ten gene sequencing companies in the world, Inmena, the second-ranked Thermo Fisher, are all North American companies. Although my country's BGI ranks third in the world, its annual sales are only one-tenth of Inmena, and the gap is extremely huge.
In short, when Xingchen Technology's main opponent was replaced by the high-profile madman Musk, the pressure increased sharply.
Life science is not Musk's field. Everyone knows that besides building electric cars, he is also a space madman.
Also at the end of March, Musk opened his second front against China. As expected, it was the space field he was most passionate about.
Musk's Spacex company is currently the well-deserved boss in the field of rocket launches on Earth.
