Chapter 218: Behind Closed Doors
Great britain.
The Lancet journal is located in its London office.
Angry and helpless, Johnny Horton put down the reply letter in his hand, which was sent to The Lancet by the Chinese Academy of Sciences-Institute of Biomedical Sciences.
He didn't expect that the other party would refuse the academic exchange without hesitation, and the reason was also very embarrassing to Johnny Horton, who is the editor-in-chief of the Lancet.
The reply letter from the director of the Institute of Biomedical Sciences directly stated that "anti-cancer immune cell therapy" will not be promoted abroad, and it does not need to be recognized by any foreigner.
This is the first time that Johnny Horton has been replied to in this way in more than a decade as editor-in-chief of The Lancet.
The female assistant with freckles on her face knocked on the door and said with a smile: "Edited by Houghton, Professor John Victor of the University of London, and Professor Jason F. Mitt of the University of Oxford have come to visit. ”
Johnny Horton lifted his glasses, "Let them in." "By the way, make a cup of black coffee and a cup of green tea."
“OK。”
A moment later, two people, one fat and one thin, walked in.
The fat old man with Einstein's head and a belly that looked like he was five or six months pregnant, was Jason F. Mitter, a professor at the Oxford University of Medicine who worked on cancer, genetics, and immune cytology.
Another middle-aged white man with a mohicin on his back, dressed in a meticulous black and white plaid shirt, is John Victor, head of the Institute of Biomedical Research at the University of London and one of the Lancet's contributing reviewers.
"Two old friends, please take a seat, Aisha is already preparing black coffee and green tea."
Unceremoniously, as soon as Jason F. Mitt sat down, he complained, "It's terrible today, and my rusty body is getting moldy." ”
"It's time for you to lose weight, Mr. Jason." John Victor sat on the side and said, it turned out that the two were still in a teacher-student relationship.
The editor-in-chief, Johnny Horton, handed the reply letter to Jason F. Mitter, and then said helplessly: "This is the reply letter from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. ”
Jason F. Mitter, who received the reply letter, frowned at first glance, especially the large paragraph of Chinese at the beginning, which was translated into English after Chinese.
Judging from the grammar and wording, it was translated by computer software, and it is obvious that the Chinese people did not even bother to write an English reply letter.
After reading the awkward English translation, Jason F. Mitter's brows were even deeper, and John Victor on the side glanced at it twice, and also took a look.
"Are they going to break us off?" said John Victor, a little angry.
"What do you think of Jason?" Johnny Horton looked at Jason F. Mitt in silence.
Jason F. Mitt sighed, and the female assistant opened the office, placing a cup of black coffee and a cup of green tea in front of Jason F. Mitt and John Victor, along with a plate of waffles.
"Gentlemen, please use it slowly, if you need to call me."
"Thank you, beautiful Lady Aisha."
After the female assistant left.
Jason F. Mitt took a sip of his black coffee, then put down his cup and said, "The gap between the two sides has grown, and science should not have anything to do with politics." ”
Looking at the few green tea leaves in the cup, John Victor shook his head: "After all, we are people with a country, scientists are also people, and many things can only be compromised." ”
"Judging from their domestic reports, anti-cancer immune cells should have a certain therapeutic effect." Jason F. Mitt continued.
"Teacher, you are an expert in this field, immune cells can really destroy cancer cells and achieve therapeutic effects"
Hearing student John Victor's question, Jason F. Mitt thought for a moment and replied, "The body's immune system itself can destroy cancer cells, but cancer cells are very resistant and resilient, and it is usually cancer cells that defeat immune cells. ”
Johnny Horton hurriedly asked: "In other words, the achievements of the Chinese are fake"
"Johnny, don't study the BBC, you're the editor-in-chief of the world's top medical journals, and we want to prove it with science and data, not speculation." Jason F. Mitt retorted unhappily.
As soon as Jason F. Mitt refuted it, Johnny Horton felt that he was blinded by the anger in his heart.
If he really denies "anti-cancer immune cells" without any basis, once the other party really has a therapeutic effect, the consequence will be to damage the authority and academic status of the Lancet.
"I'm so sorry, Jason, thanks for the reminder." 78 Chinese first release www.7* m.7*
John Victor on the side thought for a while and said, "Teacher, I want to go to Huaguo to see for myself." ”
"John, you have to think clearly, you may not be treated by the other party this time." Jason F. Mitt reminded.
"It's nothing for the sake of truth."
In fact, not only John Victor has such an idea abroad, but also some medical research institutions or medical scientists have the same idea.
They wanted to find out what Huaguo wanted to do to see if this "anti-cancer immune cell" was really as divine as Huaguo himself boasted.
However, considering that the Chinese Academy of Sciences rejected many applications for academic exchanges, John Victor did not bother himself to apply, but took a plane to Shanghai on a tourist visa.
John Victor and two other colleagues from the institute arrived in Shanghai on April 24.
However, after getting on the Huaguo Internet, he realized that things were not so simple.
The 30 designated hospitals that are open are all in very remote small cities; Another problem is that these designated hospitals do not accept non-Chinese nationals to enter, and even if Chinese people enter, the investigation is very strict.
He had also wanted to get in touch with a few friends and students in the medical community in China, who were very enthusiastic when they first heard that John Victor had come to China.
But as soon as they heard that John Victor wanted to know about "anti-cancer immune cells", they immediately changed their attitude and quickly rejected the matter.
One of the new humans, who had already been injected with a biocomputer, immediately reported the incident through a virtual network.
John Victor has not yet seen the shadow of "anti-cancer immune cells" before he is targeted.
However, considering that the other party is a professional scholar, the possibility of becoming a spy is relatively low, and strong measures were not taken.
John Victor and his party were in the hotel when they were helpless when there was a knock on his door.
Confused, John Victor opened the door, revealing three men in tunics, each of whom showed a piece of identification.
"Mr. John Victor!"
"yes, what's the problem?"
The middle-aged man in the gray tunic, who was the leader, smiled and said, "Mr. Victor, we have understood the purpose of your visit to China, and I have informed the embassy of your country, please leave the mirror within two days." ”
John Victor immediately defended: "What sir, I didn't commit a crime, I just came to travel." ”
"Victor, this is just a piece of advice, of course you are welcome to travel, but if you are here for anti-cancer immune cells, you should leave in the end!" The middle-aged man squinted and said.
John Victor suddenly felt a wave of fear, as if his prey were being targeted by a predator.
After the middle-aged man left, he sat down on the sofa in a cold sweat.
Two days later, John Victor regretfully left Shanghai, and many foreign scholars with the same goals as John Victor were all shut down.
Obviously, the Netherworld will not allow the biocomputers to leak out, and this thing is an important means of fighting the G-organization.
