Fang Ge, who was thinking hard and didn't want to trouble her teacher, asked for leave and left the base.
Lao Li was still driving the electric off-road vehicle with a smile, while Fang Ge rested his chin on one hand and stared blankly at the deserted Qinghai Lake.
Qinghai Lake is already a bit cold in November, and tourists are becoming increasingly rare.
Several Tibetan herdsmen were riding horses, driving a large herd of yaks, surrounded by two ghost-faced mastiffs.
In the wilderness grassland, low and long folk songs bring songs that go straight to the soul.
Looking at the big swing by the lake, Fang Ge suddenly said: "Uncle Li, stop in front."
"OK."
Lao Li Xing smoothly made a beautiful turn, and the electric off-road vehicle parked smoothly on the flat ground on the side of the road.
The big swing and the salt lake, which used to be crowded with tourists, are now so deserted, with only a dilapidated old Buick parked alone.
The owner of the car is a thin and sickly pale middle-aged man, about forty or fifty years old, wearing a peaked cap, standing quietly by the lake.
The bleak autumn wind always makes people sentimental.
Fang Ge was sitting on the swing, swinging gently, with a pair of bright eyes on her cheeks that were slightly red from the plateau.
At this time, her thoughts were no longer in front of her, but she was thinking about the experiment. Although she said she came out to relax, in fact, Fang Ge, who was stronger, couldn't let go of everything in the laboratory.
A shrill cough woke up Fang Ge, who was wandering in his thoughts.
The middle-aged man covered his chest and sat on the ground panting. Dark red spots were scattered on the white salt crystal lake shore.
Fang Ge stood up and walked over. Behind her, Lao Li followed closely, staring at the man warily.
"How are you"
The man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, showing his pale and haggard face, as well as his deathly gray eyes.
"Thank you. I'm really happy to hear a greeting on this snowy plateau." The man smiled with difficulty, but the smile blended on his pale and haggard face, making it particularly heart-piercing.
"Do you need a drink of water?" Fang Ge handed over his thermos cup.
The man was stunned, then took the thermos cup with trembling hands, and took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket. The name [Nexava] was written on the medicine bottle.
Fang Ge immediately knew what kind of disease the middle-aged man was suffering from.
Nexava is the English trade name of the drug. Its Chinese name is Nexavar. It is a generic drug produced by Tianzhu. The original manufacturer is Sorafenib produced by Bayer of Germany, and it is used to treat liver cancer.
Taking generic drugs is also a last resort. A box of Bayer's original sorafenib costs 25,000 yuan, and two boxes are needed a month; a box of Tianzhu Nexavar can be used for a month, and only costs about 1,300 yuan.
For poor cancer patients, generic drugs are the only option.
The man carefully poured out two pills and swallowed them down while drinking warm water.
Fang Ge smoothed his back.
After taking the medicine, the man's face turned a sickly flushed color, as if he had regained consciousness.
"Thank you girl!"
Still on the swing, Fang Ge quietly listened to the man's words.
He originally had a happy family, but unfortunately after a check-up a year ago, he was diagnosed with advanced liver cancer.
At that moment it seemed like the sky was falling, after a painful struggle.
He found a girl from a hair salon, deliberately exposed her in front of his wife and children, and then divorced her without hesitation.
After that, he took the remaining 50,000 yuan and the old Buick, drove away from his hometown, and cut off all contact with his family.
Working part-time while escaping from reality.
Until two months ago, his body no longer allowed him to continue working, so he drove all the way west, preparing to accept death.
After listening to the man's story, Fang Ge felt the fragility of life and the attachment in the man's heart.
Looking at the pool of blood left by the previous man, she fell into a daze.
"Liver cancer... cancer cells..." Fang Ge was talking to herself, like a treasure hunter who had found a secret treasure. However, when she saw the man beside her, she immediately stopped smiling.
"Mr. Huo, I have a job, are you willing to do it?"
"Girl, what else can I do with this body?" Huo Yimin said with a bitter smile.
"A job assisting with research."
"Research Cancer"
"almost."
After a long silence, Huo Yimin nodded: "I agree."
Fang Ge, who was in an excited mood, immediately rushed back to the laboratory, and Huo Yimin, who was driving an old Buick, had no intention of going back on his word and followed the electric off-road vehicle all the way.
…
Lin Sha, who was busy doing experiments, saw Fang Ge walking in in a hurry, and asked in surprise: "Didn't you say you were going to relax? Why did you come back in just half a day?"
Fang Ge said excitedly while putting on protective clothing: "I discovered a new idea, cancer cells, that's right, they are cancer cells."
"Cancer cell" Lin Sha was stunned, why didn't I think of it?
In the human body, apart from cardiomyocytes, hematopoietic stem cells, and immune T cells, the real powerhouses are cancer cells.
This kind of cells can even break through the limits of life and achieve an alternative form of immortality.
Huo Yimin, wearing patient clothes, lay quietly on the hospital bed. Fang Ge led several researchers to extract some cancer cells from his liver and lungs.
"Mr. Huo, if you need anything at the base, or if you want to take a look outside, you can tell Uncle Li."
"I will." Huo Yimin was very calm. Perhaps because death was approaching, he seemed relieved.
After extracting cancer cells.
Fang Ge immediately organized personnel to culture cancer cells and prepare for experiments.
Wen Kehan also made a breakthrough discovery. He screened out a hydrocarbon sulfur compound and combined it with the X serum. After it was fused to the cells, a very slight brain wave induction phenomenon occurred.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, but with this slight brainwave induction, I finally have a beginning.
Rows of culture dishes were filled with cultured cancer cells. After the researchers injected new brainwave sensors, they found that these cancer cells were indeed very powerful.
"Inject, X serum minimum standard concentration." Lin Sha ordered.
"OK."
Lin Sha, Fang Ge, Jiang Tiansheng and others were very nervous when looking at the electron microscope inspection picture.
However, there is no minimum concentration for ordinary cells to die, so it is naturally unable to kill cancer cells. On the contrary, after the cancer cells are injected with X serum, their activity becomes greatly increased.
Fang Ge and Lin Sha looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
"Increase the concentration by one level." Lin Sha continued to give instructions to the researcher.
"OK."
The serum concentration of X increases step by step, but the cancer cells are still very tenacious in resisting the invasion.
Until the concentration reaches 0.65%, cancer cells cannot withstand the invasion of X serum and collapse themselves and die.
This concentration is a full 34 times higher than the previous safe concentration.
Jiang Tiansheng, who was responsible for detecting the brain wave sensing function of cancer cells, excitedly ran over with the test report: "Success! We succeeded!"
Fang Ge took the report and looked at the data above with Lin Sha. Obvious data of brain wave induction was detected in 12 groups of cancer cell culture dishes.
Among them, the 8th group of data has an obvious peak. Compared with the first detected brain wave data, the two are like the difference between static electricity and lightning.
The experiment has achieved a breakthrough and is one step closer to biological computers.
