In fact, Zhang Chunquan from Baitou Laboratory in the United States had been to Nandu Medical University before visiting Union Medical College. He asked to see Yang Ping, but Yang Ping refused directly. Regardless of emotions or interests, Yang Ping thought it was unnecessary to meet him.
A pure waste of time.
To be honest, the purpose of cooperation is to learn from each other's strengths and complement each other's weaknesses to achieve a win-win situation. To put it bluntly, it means taking advantage of each other and each getting what they need. Currently, in the field of stem cell research, Yang Ping can be said to be number one in the world. He is one dimension ahead of other research teams.
So now he does not need to cooperate with other laboratories. These so-called cooperation and sharing will only make it easier for others.
When Yang Ping's stem cell research had not yet started, even Chinese people were refused permission to visit the laboratory where Zhang Chunquan worked. The reason was to prevent the leakage of cutting-edge technology. Now he actually proposes that science has no borders and that we can work together to advance the cause of human medicine.
Contribution, this is not a joke, they are always justified, they say it so grandly, but in fact they are all for profit.
When they have an advantage, they talk to you about intellectual property rights and confidentiality; when they are at a disadvantage, they talk to you about science without borders and cooperation.
Yang Ping doesn't like this. In his eyes, cooperation is a naked exchange. There is no equivalent in exchange, so there is no need to discuss it.
"Xiao Yang!"
Yang Ping had just returned from Nandu Medical University and received a call from Professor Liang.
"Professor Liang!" Yang Ping hasn't contacted Professor Liang for a while.
Professor Liang was in a good mood these days. He knew about this. Song Yun had told him. Originally, Professor Liang had given up on Zhang Chunquan's matter, and the knot in his heart had long been untied.
However, Zhang Chunquan returned to China this time to cooperate with some laboratories, and he did provide some help to these laboratories. This made Professor Liang very happy, thinking that he had misunderstood Zhang Chunquan. Originally he refused to meet with Zhang Chunquan, but finally agreed to meet, Professor Liang said.
Professor Liang was very excited when the two disciples met again.
When Zhang Chunquan proposed cooperation with Yang Ping and needed Professor Liang to help him, Professor Liang finally understood that his previous cooperation with other universities was just a preparation. In the end, after going around and around, he still wanted to cooperate with Yang Ping, but was rejected by Yang Ping.
, so the cooperation with Yang Ping was in trouble. He wanted to use the relationship between Professor Liang and Yang Ping to achieve a breakthrough. The so-called visit to his mentor was just for the value of his mentor.
It has been more than ten years, not to mention visiting his mentor. Later, he did not even send a letter to his mentor. Now he suddenly visited his mentor with great fanfare. Professor Liang's heart aches at this time.
Yang Ping had long known about Zhang Chunquan's return to China. He had sent people to contact Yang Ping before, but Yang Ping rejected him. He himself wanted to contact Yang Ping several times, but was also rejected by Yang Ping. Later.
Because Yang Ping was busy with other things, he didn't pay much attention to him. Unexpectedly, he ran to Professor Liang.
Professor Liang was silent for a moment on the phone: "Xiao Yang, Zhang Chunquan didn't look for you, right? You must stay awake at this time. Whether it's him or others, there will be many temptations thrown at you now, so you must hold steady.
"
"I understand. Thank you Professor Liang for reminding me. He has looked for me, but he has not seen me. I don't want to see him..." Yang Ping explained clearly on the phone why he did not see Zhang Chunquan, so that the old man would not worry about him.
After hearing this, Professor Liang breathed a sigh of relief. He no longer worried that Yang Ping would be tempted to make some stupid decisions. Yang Ping's cognitive maturity in this regard exceeded Professor Liang's imagination.
Yang Ping reported some of his recent research to Professor Liang. Professor Liang was stunned after hearing this. Unexpectedly, without contact for a while, Yang Ping ran far away again. He actually made great achievements in the treatment of osteosarcoma, using
The method is completely new, he has never done anything before
I have never heard that K factors, carrier viruses, and apoptosis programs that initiate tumor cells are all top-notch in the world. This level is comparable to Zhang Chunquan. It seems that our real top talents are still there.
Serving the motherland has not been lost.

As for Zhang Chunquan’s visit, if Professor Liang hadn’t mentioned it, Yang Ping wouldn’t have time to pay attention to him now. Yang Ping wouldn’t worry about Professor Liang being sad because of this matter, because Professor Liang had already been sick for Zhang Chunquan, and now
You should have seen through everything and there will be no more emotional fluctuations.
These days, Yang Ping goes to Ruixing Company and Nandu Medical University every two days. Professor He's team has developed a biomedical image recognition engine. This engine does not need to be fed by big data. Its operation is based on digital humans, using the normal cells in the digital humans.
Reference. It has many modules. The module developed now is to identify cell pictures under electron microscope. It can automatically compare each picture with normal cells of this type. Pictures that are found to be different will be kept and entered next.
One-step identification, so that the requirements of the experimental view can be achieved step by step.
Yang Ping handed over the remaining unread electron microscope pictures to this intelligent engine for viewing. It was very fast. It only took a few minutes to read all the pictures and successfully found three pictures.
The three cell pictures have the structure of K virus, indicating that they successfully infected the tumor cells.
The experimental team's dynamic observation of Sisi is still continuing. Almost every few days, her metastases are punctured to collect living cells. The second batch of electron microscopy pictures of living cells obtained through punctures finally found a tumor in an apoptotic state.
Although there is only this one cell diagram, it is a question of whether or not, a question of 0 to 1. Now it is basically confirmed that the K virus can not only infect Sisi's tumor cells, but also initiate the apoptosis of tumor cells.
program.
After confirming these two points, Yang Ping became extremely confident in this experiment, indicating that the general direction of this experiment was correct.
According to Yang Ping's philosophy: do things right first, and then do things well. Now it seems that things have been done right, and the next step is to do things well.
Based on this result, Yang Ping speculated: After the K virus passes through the human immune system, the number of viruses reaching the tumor has been very small. The main work now is to improve the structure of the virus so that they can successfully pass the immune system and must continue to remain infected.
Tumor cells and the ability to initiate tumor cell apoptosis, the latter is the most important. Without the latter, even if the virus can evade the human immune system in large numbers, it will be of no avail.
There is still a lot of work to be done next, such as improving detection methods. Currently, we rely on puncture to obtain tumor cells and observe them under an electron microscope. However, when it comes to actual treatment, it is impossible to use this method. This method is only suitable for initial experiments, so
Subsequently, supporting detection methods need to be developed, and blood drawing can be used to detect the number of virus-infected tumors and the number of tumor cell death. This is an arduous task and will be done slowly in the future.
Yang Ping's current thinking about scientific research is also right - making full use of computers is not simply to use computers to assist scientific research, but to use artificial intelligence technology as a basis to develop various auxiliary tools to maximize the role of computer assistance, not only
Free manpower from heavy work and improve work efficiency thousands of times.
For example, if you rely on human power to identify pictures under an electron microscope, it will take a long time even if everyone is working day and night. However, with the help of a computer, you can read all the pictures in a few minutes. Although the accuracy will not be ideal at the beginning, it will gradually increase.
Improving the model will make it more and more accurate.
In fact, Yang Ping now feels that the system strike is not a bad thing, but a good thing. When the system was helping in the past, Yang Ping would definitely not rush to develop these computer-assisted tools, such as artificial intelligence, image viewing engines, etc. After all, there is demand.
It's not very big, and the sense of urgency is not very strong.
Now that Yang Ping no longer has a system, he is eager to create a "system" again. This system is a computer tool. Although these tools are very crude now, in time they will be very useful smart tools. These tools can not only be used by Yang Ping, but also by Yang Ping.
And it can be used by others and contribute to the entire scientific research community.
Now Yang Ping wants to move scientific research from the "manual work era" to the "industrialization era", and the value of these computer tools is undoubtedly equivalent to that of a "steam engine."
In order to cooperate with Yang Ping's experiments, Director He's team has to develop various computer tools. In fact, these researchers in the laboratory have very good brains. Many of them are full of passion and have enough curiosity about new things, so they like to study these new things.
However, because corporate researchers have commercial tasks, it is difficult for them to create new things that have nothing to do with commercial tasks.
The classic programming language C and the operating system UNIX were developed at Bell Labs, and they are still widely used today.
Ruixing Group has also established an artificial intelligence research institute and a specialized artificial intelligence technology company. This company and research institute will cooperate with Professor He's team, so that the strength of the entire large team is enhanced, and the development of these tools becomes even easier.
Huang Jiacai spent a lot of money to recruit a group of top talents in artificial intelligence, integrated and acquired some technologies with Professor He's digital people, and developed artificial intelligence models.

Sisi gradually recovered from the first experiment. In fact, the situation at that time was quite dangerous. The high fever of 42 degrees had lasted for so long, any antipyretic medicine was ineffective, and the heart rate was so fast that the whole body could collapse at any time due to the high fever.
Everyone was very anxious at the time. Yang Ping kept telling himself that he must remain calm and rational, so he acted extremely calm throughout the process to ensure that he did not make mistakes. In that case, a small mistake in judgment would cause disaster.
The serious consequences of recovery.
In the ward, Yang Ping saw Sisi playing with her cactus again. She seemed to be in much better spirits than the previous few days. However, after escaping from death, she could still see that the high fever caused by the virus had left traces on her body.
Her lips were cracked, her complexion was very poor, and she was very weak.
"Professor Yang, do you think this cactus is amazing? Once before, it looked like it was going to die. All the exposed parts were eaten by bugs. I thought it was going to die, but then I replaced the remaining cactus with soil, and then
Pay attention to killing insects. It slowly came back to life and is growing very well now, so I admire it very much and always put it in my room. I feel that I will be able to survive it like it." Sisi said to that.
Potted Cactus said.
No wonder the little girl always brings her cactus with her every time she is hospitalized. Here is another such story, and it is a very positive story.
"Do you think so?" Sisi asked Yang Ping.
Yang Ping looked at this pot of cactus. Now he can no longer see the tragic situation at that time. However, the vitality of cactus is indeed very strong. It can be said to be the most tenacious plant. It is not afraid of severe cold and drought. He can cut off a piece of cactus and insert it casually.
It can live in the soil, even in the desert, it can still live well and release its green color to its fullest.
"Of course it is, so we don't have to worry at all. Although the process is tortuous, the future is definitely bright."
Yang Ping opened the painting in his hand and showed it to Sisi: "The data collected in the first experiment was very optimistic. Although we only found a few meaningful pictures, it was these pictures that confirmed the assassin we sent out.
The K virus can successfully get close to the enemy and kill it, but this time most of the assassins we sent out were eliminated by the security forces in your body, and only a handful of them successfully penetrated."
"What should we do?" Sisi's eyes widened.
"We need to re-modify the K-virus. The impact on the immune system of the previous K-virus is so different from that of the source virus. It is almost like a brand new virus. We now need to modify it to be as close as possible to the source virus. This is close.
It refers to the interaction with your immune system." Yang Ping pointed to the drawing he drew and started a discussion with Sisi. He treated Sisi as a student.
Although Si thought about some ideas sometimes very naively, Yang Ping would also discuss with him seriously, just like discussing issues with the world's top scholars.
"Wait a minute, I'm going to wash my hands." Sisi looked very serious. He decided to have a good discussion with Yang Ping after washing his hands.
After washing her hands, Sisi spread the drawings on the table next to the bed: "Did the previous batch of assassins not disguise themselves well and were discovered by the security forces? Now I have to re-disguise them so that they can deceive the people in my body."
Guard troops?"
"That's it. Not only must we disguise the assassin well, but we must also not weaken his ability to assassinate. We must take both into consideration and not lose sight of one at the expense of the other." Yang Ping explained in a language she could understand.
"I understand, when will the next experiment be done?" Sisi looked forward to it, and she didn't look scared at all.
Yang Ping was stunned for a moment: "Don't be anxious. You have just finished the first experiment and you must recover. Otherwise, it will be difficult to withstand the blow of the second experiment. We must be prepared for the worst in every experiment. We cannot
Take it lightly."
"Actually, it's nothing. It's just a high fever. I was in a daze and didn't know anything at the time. When I woke up, I saw many faces surrounding me." Sisi still remembers the high fever she had during her first experiment.
