Chapter 481 Research Projects That Change the World
After hearing Chen Xiao express his wish, to be honest, Lin Chen didn't really want to help him.
Because unlike Chen Youmei, Chen Xiao was originally from China, but he went to an island country and became an island country's nationality. This made Lin Chen a little bit disgusted with it.
If Chinese people don't do that, what are the islanders doing?
Nowadays, when people get fired in middle age, they are simply bringing the blame on themselves...
However, for Chen Youmei's sake, Lin Chen still asked one more question.
"Professor Chen, what project are you working on? Although I didn't hear it clearly that day, it seems that you have been working on it for a long time and have not produced any results?"
Regarding this question, Chen Xiao actually showed hesitation, as if he didn't want to say anything.
But after hesitating for a while, he still said: "Lin Sang, my research is about the elixir of life..."
The elixir of life?
Lin Chen couldn't help but want to laugh. No wonder Chen Xiao looked hesitant just now.
Was that the reason?
The elixir of life, haha...
Where in the world can such a thing exist?
Seeing that Lin Chen didn't seem to believe it, Chen Xiao immediately said: "Lin Sang, I know you may be doubting me, but what I said is true. I am indeed researching the elixir of life! And my research has
Scientifically based!”
"Lin Sang, you may not know that the aging of us humans is actually the aging of cells, but it is the result of cell aging, which is closely related to the decrease in the content of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide!"
"Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, commonly known as NAD+, exists in every human cell and is directly involved in various physiological activities such as material metabolism, energy synthesis, and cellular DNA repair in human life activities! Therefore, supplementing NAD+
Maintaining the normal functions of the internal components of cells is the key to inhibiting aging."
"This theory has been recognized in the world of medicine. Prior to this, anti-aging research on NAD+ at the cellular level has produced six Nobel Prize winners! So if my research is successful, I am confident that I will become the seventh!
"
"When I came to the island country and became an island citizen, it was because the medical technology and theories here were far more advanced than those in China. I abandoned my motherland and worked hard for decades. Now I am about to succeed, but because of the advice of our director
I am really unwilling to be forced to interrupt my research!"
"So, Lin Sang, if you can help, please convince our dean for me! Please!"
Having said this, Chen Xiao bowed deeply to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen frowned.
He originally thought that Chen Xiao was just talking nonsense, but what Chen Xiao just said sounded solid and did not sound like nonsense at all.
If I help Chen Xiao continue his research, the probability of the project being successful is... 80%.
100%?
Compared with the meaning behind the number, the number 100% really surprised Lin Chen.
You know, this is the elixir of life!
Although it may be a bit exaggerated to say that you will live forever, but according to Chen Xiao, it is definitely not an exaggeration to say that you can live longer.
If such a drug could be produced, the rewards it would bring would definitely be astronomical!
Lin Chen's businessman nature was activated again at this moment.
He couldn't help but think about it more.
If Chen Xiao can really research the elixir of immortality, then his favor will definitely be valuable in helping.
But the way to help is still open to question.
Such a project should not stay in the island country, but should be brought back to China!
"Professor Chen, unfortunately, I don't know the director of your hospital, and I have no interaction with him, so if you want me to help intercede, I'm afraid it's unlikely."
Hearing this, Chen Xiao's face immediately showed disappointment.
But then, Lin Chen said: "But Professor Chen, I am very interested in your research project, so if you are willing, I can provide you with funds to support your research."
"Lin Sang, do you want to fund my research?" Chen Xiao's eyes widened.
"No?"
Chen Xiao shook his head quickly: "Of course there is no problem, but to tell you the truth, the cost of medical research is astronomical. Lin Sang, are you really willing?"
"When I was in medical school, my annual research expenses required at least one billion yen! Especially now that I have been expelled from medical school. If you want to fund it, Lin-Sang, I will have to buy new experimental equipment, and also
Recruiting assistants is not a small expense."
"And, to be honest, although I told the dean that day that I would have research results soon, I actually lied. The research on this project is very difficult, and even I don't know how long it will take to succeed!"
"This research is a bottomless pit. Lin Sang, you may sink tens of billions into it, but in the end you will lose everything. So are you really sure you want to invest?"
Lin Chen couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
Although Chen Xiao has acquired island citizenship, he is still very sincere.
This was also thanks to Lin Chen being able to see the success rate and knowing that Chen Xiao's research had an 80% chance of success. If it had been anyone else, he would have backed down long ago.
However, out of caution, Lin Chen also paid more attention and made some calculations.
If everything is in place, the probability that Chen Xiao's research will produce results within a year... is 0%!
2 years?
0%!
3 years?
0%!
It seems that Chen Xiao is not exaggerating. This research is really difficult...
What about six years?
40%!
Seeing the success rate that finally changed, Lin Chen couldn't help but sigh. In six years, there was only a 40% chance of success...
This elixir of life is really not an easy task.
No wonder that in his last life, seven years later, the elixir of life had only just begun to take effect.
I am afraid that in those seven years, there were many people like Chen Xiao who gave up halfway because of financial and time issues before they even touched the edge of success of the elixir of life.
Fortunately, Lin Chen is still young, and he is very aware of the astonishing benefits that the elixir of life can bring once it is successfully researched. This is definitely a research project that can change the world!
Compared to the huge rewards it would bring, Lin Chen was willing to wait for this time.
So, he said: "Professor Chen, I'm sure. In the future, no matter how much money, manpower, or equipment you need, I can provide it!"
"real?"
Chen Xiao's voice was trembling. He couldn't believe that he would meet someone like Lin Chen.
Is he a liar?
This is research that requires at least tens of billions of yen, and may even cost hundreds of billions of yen!
Even the Kyoto University Affiliated Hospital could not afford such an astronomical investment, so it did not hesitate to ax the project even though it knew how much profit it could generate once the research was successful.
Is the young Chinese man in front of me really capable of supporting such research?
