Chapter 319 Warning from Home
Chapter 319 Warning from Home
Lin Chen quickly got up and chased after him.
"Professor House, just a moment!"
"Ok?"
House stopped and turned to look at Lin Chen, a smile in his eyes.
“Student, don’t think I don’t know you’re not my student. But because of your answer just now, I can ignore you auditing my class. However, my time is precious and I don’t want to waste it on someone who isn’t my student.”
Lin Chen chuckled awkwardly. It turned out that House had already figured out that he wasn't his student.
However, he can't let House leave right now.
The progress of the knowledge replication machine is too touching.
He heard that House only taught two classes a week at UC Berkeley, and he wasn't always the one to teach them himself.
Therefore, he must seize today's opportunity to spend more time with House and copy as much knowledge as possible.
"I'm sorry, Professor House, I still have some questions about the examples you gave me earlier."
"I know you are a pioneer in the field of CAR-T technology. I'd like to know if the example you just gave of using other viruses to activate the immune system can be applied to CAR-T technology?"
"For example, by modifying T cells to secrete herpesvirus thymidine kinase, we can achieve a triple synergistic effect in the treatment of solid tumors?"
This problem wasn't actually something Lin Chen came up with on his own.
Just like his previous answer to House's question, this question actually came from House himself and is the main area he has been researching recently.
Sure enough, when Lin Chen asked this question, House immediately looked curious:
"You're researching this issue? Interesting... Come to my office, let's have a proper talk."
Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief; his plan had indeed worked.
The two then talked as they walked to House's office.
"To be honest, I'm also researching this issue, but I'm currently facing two problems that I can't solve."
"The first problem is that viral components may cause CAR-T cells to be mistakenly damaged by the patient's immune system. The second problem is that CAR-T cells require too much energy to perform targeted killing and viral protein secretion at the same time, which can easily lead to cell energy depletion and collapse."
"Professor, I think you've overlooked one issue: the modified T cells may actually activate the latent herpes virus in the patient's body."
"Yes, yes, yes! How come I didn't think of that? That's definitely true!"
House was immediately excited upon hearing this, not expecting that the student in front of him had a much deeper understanding of his research.
Rather, they can genuinely provide ideas and approaches that are helpful to his research.
This question-and-answer exchange naturally made House more and more enthusiastic as he spoke.
Lin Chen also took this opportunity to replicate as much of House's knowledge as possible.
However, as the director of the treatment center, House is also a very busy person.
The two had only been talking for an hour when the treatment center called to urge him to go back.
House could only stand up and say, "Excuse me, classmate, I have some things to do."
"I'm sorry, Professor House, for taking up your time."
"No, no, no, you're a smart person, and I like communicating with smart people."
House smiled broadly.
"Oh, right, I haven't asked you your name yet? Which department are you in?"
"Professor, my name is Lin Chen. I'm not actually a student at UC Berkeley, or even a medical student..."
"You're not a student at UC Berkeley? Then you..."
"I come from China and I am a PhD in Mathematics from China University of Science and Technology."
A PhD in mathematics? Unbelievable!
House clutched his head and cried out in alarm.
How could a mathematics PhD from China know so much about virology?
This was the first time House had ever encountered something so incredible.
and many more……
Lin Chen...
House's eyes lit up, and he pointed at Lin Chen, saying, "I remember now, you're the Chinese student who beat us in the math competition between China and the US?"
Lin Chen looked helpless: "Yes, it's me."
House smiled and nodded: "No wonder... It's natural that a genius who can solve Goldbach's Conjecture could talk to me for so long... You've studied medicine on your own, haven't you?"
"Ah."
Lin Chen nodded.
"Actually, I came here for my girlfriend's mother. She has pancreatic cancer. I heard that you are an expert in cancer treatment, so I really wanted to come and ask for your opinion. Before this, I also studied medicine on my own for a while."
"Can someone reach this level through self-study? Truly, a genius is a genius wherever they are..."
House nodded, glanced at the time on his phone, then took a sticky note from his desk and wrote an address on it.
"I really enjoy chatting with smart people... How about this, I'm free after 3 pm tomorrow, let's have afternoon tea together and continue our conversation."
"Thank you Professor!"
Lin Chen quickly thanked House.
"Yes! I'm so glad to see you!"
House makes no attempt to hide his admiration for Lin Chen.
Although the other party was not a medical student at all, he felt that Lin Chen's skills were better than any of the students he had ever taught.
In particular, his approach to research is almost identical to his own.
House even felt a bit like they had known each other for a long time and wanted to persuade Lin Chen to give up mathematics and switch to medicine.
However, he didn't know that what Lin Chen had just been exchanging with him was actually taken from House's head.
It's only natural that she's exactly like him.
After saying goodbye to House, Lin Chen returned to the hotel he was staying at near UC Berkeley.
On his way back, he took the opportunity to check his haul for the day.
House's knowledge level transfer progress has reached 55%.
At this rate, if I meet with House again tomorrow, it should be enough to complete the entire replica work.
Thinking of this, Lin Chen smiled slightly.
But just then, his phone rang.
Lin Chen glanced at the number and saw that it was a domestic call. After answering, he realized it was Principal Xu.
"Lin Chen! Where are you right now?"
"Principal Xu, I'm in the United States, don't you know that?"
"Um... could you please return to China as soon as possible?"
"Did something happen?"
Lin Chen noticed that Principal Xu's voice sounded a bit off.
"that……"
Just as Principal Xu opened his mouth, the phone seemed to be taken away by someone else, and an unfamiliar voice appeared in Lin Chen's ear.
"Hello Lin Chen, I am Liu Aiguo, the Vice Minister of the Equipment Department of the Dragon Kingdom. I have received information that the Americans may already know that you are the inventor of the Longchen Zhihang Artificial Intelligence System. You may encounter danger in the United States at any time, so please return as soon as possible!"
Lin Chen was completely confused.
Lin Chen knew about the Dragon Kingdom's Equipment Department; after all, it was impossible for him to be completely unaware of such a major event as his company being incorporated into the fold.
What's wrong with Americans?
Why would they care about Longchen Intelligent Aviation's artificial intelligence system?
"Minister Liu, can you explain what exactly happened?"
"Don't you know yet?"
Liu Aiguo looked helpless and could only briefly explain what was happening in the Middle East.
Lin Chen was speechless.
I never imagined that Lu Han would actually expand his business all the way to the Middle East.
This also gave Longchen Zhihang a lot of exposure.
He had no problem with Lu Han's actions, but why now of all times?
This time, Longchen Intelligent Aviation's robot dog and drone made the squid lose face. In the style of Americans, they will naturally try their best to make amends by taking this opportunity to do something to make up for themselves.
They are probably powerless against the New PLO, but Long Chenzhihang, who played a major role in this attack, will likely face sanctions from the United States.
And as for himself, the big boss, they certainly wouldn't let him go.
"I understand, Minister Liu. I will be back as soon as possible."
After giving the other party a brief, perfunctory reply, Lin Chen hung up the phone.
It's impossible to go back to China now.
Housena's progress is still a little short; he cannot leave until the knowledge level replication is completely completed.
But if it's just one more day of delay, the Americans probably won't react that quickly, right?
With that in mind, Lin Chen first booked his flight back to China for tomorrow night on his phone.
I plan to meet with House tomorrow and then immediately head back.
