Chapter 311 The Incurable Cancer
The drones and robot dogs developed by Longchen Intelligent Aviation greatly shocked the experts at the Ordnance Research Institute.
And they immediately made the decision to restrict it.
However, how many departments are involved in regulating the products of a private enterprise?
This is not something that can be accomplished overnight.
While this decision was still going through the process, Lin Chen's life suddenly underwent a dramatic change.
That day, Lin Chen had just taught a math class in place of Professor Wang to a group of graduate students who were six or seven years older than him.
As soon as get out of class ended, a group of girls surrounded him.
They all used the guise of asking questions to actually strike up conversations.
The boys passing by looked on with envy, but could only walk away helplessly.
Because of Lin Chen's skill, none of them could learn it.
When they first learned that Lin Chen was going to substitute for a class, many boys were eager to try it out, hoping to cause some trouble for Lin Chen during class.
But the results were disastrous, with each one being proven wrong.
Just as Lin Chen was helplessly trying to break free from the girls' encirclement, a figure suddenly rushed into his arms, crying out.
"Lin Chen! Lin Chen!"
"Hey, what's wrong with you?"
"That's right! Let Teacher Lin go right now!"
The girls were furious. They had been shamelessly pestering him for so long without getting a chance, so why should this guy just jump into Lin Chen's arms right away?
Lin Chen was startled. He told others that the person in his arms was his girlfriend, and then left the classroom with Chen Xiaoxiao, asking as they walked, "Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?"
Chen Xiaoxiao leaned on Lin Chen's shoulder, tears streaming down her face, and said, "Mom... my mom has been diagnosed with cancer, pancreatic cancer!"
"what?!"
Lin Chen's heart skipped a beat.
It turns out the system's warning was directed at Meng Lan!
Cancer is one of the most difficult diseases to cure in human history.
Pancreatic cancer is considered the king of cancers.
It is almost incurable.
Even if the disease is suppressed through chemotherapy and surgery, it won't last more than a few years.
So... is Aunt Meng's illness incurable?
"Xiaoxiao, let's go back to the East China Sea!"
Lin Chen immediately took out his phone and called both Elder Wang and Dean Qian to ask for leave.
Then he and Chen Xiaoxiao went straight to the airport and took the next available flight back to Donghai.
Chen Xiaoxiao's father, Chen Cheng, had already taken leave and gone home before them.
On the plane, Chen Xiaoxiao cried herself to sleep.
Lin Chen sat beside her, lost in thought.
Without a doubt, he must choose mission 1 for this bounty: find a way to cure cancer and save Aunt Menglan.
But what should we do?
Pancreatic cancer develops very quickly.
After talking with Chen Xiaoxiao, he already knew that when Meng Lan was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, it had already been confirmed to be in its late stage.
Early treatment of pancreatic cancer may have a higher success rate, but because the symptoms are not obvious, it is often missed.
Meng Lan had actually been suffering from abdominal pain before, but unfortunately she always thought it was just stomach pain caused by overworking herself and didn't go to the hospital for a checkup in time.
It was only after Chen Xiaoxiao begged her to go to the hospital that she was diagnosed with cancer.
Once pancreatic cancer reaches an advanced stage, even with aggressive treatment, patients may not survive more than nine months.
If the condition deteriorates rapidly, the person could die within three or four months.
Therefore, the shortest time left for Lin Chen is actually only a few months.
Is it possible for him to find a cure for cancer in just a few months?
That's obviously impossible, so the only way is to utilize the system!
Thinking of this, Lin Chen immediately opened the shop and searched for items that could cure cancer.
A life-saving doll? It can save its host from one death?
This seems like a good idea...
No, this thing can only be used by the host.
The Great Rejuvenation Pill? 100% effective at healing injuries?
No, that won't work either. Cancer isn't an injury; it's incurable...
After searching for a long time, Lin Chen finally found something that seemed useful.
Patent: Perfect CAR-T Therapy Technology.
Exchange Price: 500 Academic Points.
CAR-T therapy, or chimeric antigen receptor T-cell immunotherapy, is an advanced cellular immunotherapy technology that plays an important role in the field of cancer treatment.
Its principle is to use gene editing technology to modify the T cells in the human body's original immune system, adding the genetic characteristics of cancer cells to the attack list of T cells.
It allows the body's immune cells to attack cancer cells on their own, thereby curing the patient.
This technology already exists in reality and has even passed clinical trials.
It can already be used to treat hematologic malignancies such as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and multiple myeloma.
However, due to the wide variety of cancer cells, CAR-T technology is currently ineffective against pancreatic cancer.
Moreover, this technology is still in its early stages and has many unforeseen side effects.
However, the CAR-T technology provided by the system can perfectly target various cancer cells! It can completely cure cancer!
This is it!
Lin Chen was overjoyed.
Although directly using the patented formula provided by the system to complete the task would significantly reduce the system rewards, human lives were at stake, and he didn't care about a small reward.
What troubled Lin Chen was that the perfect CAR-T technology might not require much academic points, only 500, because an early version already existed in reality, which Lin Chen could now exchange for directly.
However, the conditions for opening the exchange are extremely strict.
It actually requires a biology knowledge level of LV4 and a medical knowledge level of LV5!
In addition, it has an additional prerequisite technology: CRISPR-Cas9!
CRISPR-Cas9 is a real-world gene-editing technology that Lin Chen felt he could learn on his own.
But asking someone to reach level 5 in medical knowledge is simply asking too much!
Because medical knowledge is the subject with the lowest knowledge level that Lin Chen currently possesses!
It doesn't even have LV1, it's still LV0!
He's already at level 1 in biology!
Currently, the only subject in which Lin Chen has reached LV5 level is mathematics.
Therefore, he was well aware of how difficult it was to raise a subject to LV5!
Lin Chen also relied on completing many tasks and achievements in a row, plus his daily accumulation, to raise his math level to LV5 in a year.
Now he wants to start from scratch and raise his medical skills to LV5 within a few months, which is simply an impossible task!
So this is the only way...
Lin Chen glanced at an item in the system space that had been gathering dust for a long time.
Knowledge level replication machine.
If you can find someone with a medical level of LV5, you can directly upgrade your medical level to 5!
Xiaoxiao, I will definitely cure Aunt Meng!
Lin Chen reached out and grasped Chen Xiaoxiao's hand beside him, his expression becoming resolute.
Not long after, the two returned to Donghai City.
As soon as they got off the plane, the two rushed to the hospital.
