33, Chimpanzee Caesar
A silver Chrysler drove into the State University of New York, where Sean and Harry attended Stony Brook, a well-known research public university in the United States on Long Island, which enjoys a high academic reputation around the world and is known as the "Public Ivy".
The car drove into the school, along a lush tree-lined path, and finally stopped in front of a rather old-fashioned white building complex that would have been the school's internal laboratory, where many prominent figures in science and even several Nobel laureates had come from, and was later bought by Norman Osborne and given to Dr. Connors as a research site.
It has recently changed hands again, being bought out by a businessman from Hell's Kitchen, and now it is owned by Kurt Connors.
Harry, who got out of the car, of course, didn't know what was going on, he took a deep breath, he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart, after a conversation with Sean a few days ago, he carefully flipped through the research data sent to him, and then handed it over to Osborne Industries' scientific research department for evaluation, and the result was that the profit prospects of this new drug were extremely impressive.
Harry, who was still a little skeptical, decided to go on his own journey, and if the final result was satisfactory to him, then saving Osborne's industry from crisis would no longer be a hopeless task.
"Harry, you came a little earlier than I thought." Sean and Dr. Connors stood on the steps, looking rather happy at the arrival of their guests, "Do you want to go shopping first, or do you want to go straight to Caesar?" ”
"Come with me, I've never been here." Harry smiled, he didn't want to be too anxious.
Sean nodded, and said to Dr. Connors next to him: "Then I'll accompany Harry to visit first, Doctor, you go and bring Caesar out, be careful, that little guy has been in a bad temper lately." ”
The one-armed middle-aged man with a wooden nature nodded in agreement, he was not good at social speech, not to mention that Osborne Industries had resolutely abandoned Connors when he needed help the most, so he didn't have much affection for this huge enterprise facing difficulties.
Anyway, it's good to leave everything to Sean, this student is always satisfied, and this new drug for brain degeneration is also researched by the other party, and he is only involved in some improvement work.
Turning away, Connors thought that he was a pure scientist and that he had always been grateful to Sean who had saved him from his life's predicament.
"At present, the core project of the laboratory is still the cross-species genetics studied by Dr. Connors, and the regeneration of severed limbs also has a bright future in the medical industry, and I think there are many opportunities for cooperation between us and Osborne Industries."
Sean walked in front and talked, Harry followed behind, silently observing the somewhat old laboratory, Osborne Industries has its own scientific research department, and invests a lot of money every year in various fields of research, such as the previous glider and human enhancement programs, which were accepted to curry favor with the Ministry of Defense.
R&D is an industry that pays great attention to input costs, and not every time it can reap returns. As the new president of Osborne Industries, Harry certainly knows that many research projects that at first glance seem to have great potential are in fact just a utopian dream that is difficult to put into practice, and even if a lot of money is invested, there will be no return.
"If Sean Really Was a Scientific Genius......"
Harry looked at the young boy who was introducing the laboratory, who was about his age, but he exuded a steady aura in his gestures, which made people feel convinced.
Maybe his friend is a genius like Tony Stark or Reed Richards, otherwise why would Dr. Connors do what he says?
"Hey, Harry, how did you come here?"
Gwen, who was holding a pile of papers, asked in surprise, she had also heard about the current situation of Osborne Industries, how could this classmate who inherited her father's business have gone through the procedures for suspension of study, how could he appear in Dr. Connors's laboratory?
"Sean has a great product, I'll come and take a look, maybe it can bring the company back to life." Harry winked at Sean next to him, and the experienced young master Osborne, of course, could see that Gwen had a good impression of his friend.
Sean smiled dumbly, exchanged a brief pleasantry with Gwen, and led Harry to the center of the lab, where Dr. Connors was already ready and waiting for their arrival.
"This is Caesar, a chimpanzee from the rainforests of South Africa." Through the transparent glass window, Sean introduced a young chimpanzee sitting in the room, "The DNA of orangutans and humans is very close, and the DNA of chimpanzees is less than 1% different from that of humans, so I chose a chimpanzee as the material for live experiments." ”
"What is it doing?" Harry stood in front of the window, a little puzzled.
The young chimpanzee, named Caesar, sat in a chair like a good student, with a shelf on the table and several metal discs of various sizes, and the researcher walked in with a plate of fruit.
"Lucasta game, to move those discs from one pillar to another, in the process the big disc can't be placed on top of the small plate, the most perfect answer is fifteen steps, Caesar can do twenty steps, these days have improved to sixteen steps."
Harry couldn't believe it, but the chimpanzee expertly moved the metal disc to complete the game quickly, and then the researcher handed the plate of fruit in his hand.
"This ...... Incredible! ”
Sean wasn't surprised that Harry would have this reaction, and when Dr. Connors saw it, he also had a shocked expression, "At first, Caesar couldn't finish the game, no matter how much we trained it, we couldn't make it form thinking memories, and then I injected it with a drug called ALZ-112, which is a genetic drug that allows the brain's creative cells to repair themselves, in biology, this is called neurogenesis. ”
"Of course, you can also think of it more simply, as a miracle cure for Alzheimer's disease, which is also known as Alzheimer's disease!"
Harry looked at the chimpanzee in the room who was learning some simple drawings and words, and felt a burst of excitement in his heart, this is an unprecedented new medicine, enough to bring a huge return to Osborne Industries!
"Are there any side effects?" Harry, in his excitement, seemed to think of something, and suddenly asked.
Of course, he will not forget that the human enhancement program that dragged Osborne Industries into the abyss was abandoned by the Ministry of Defense precisely because it could not solve the side effects of the injections.
"A little." Sean looked at Harry, who was nervous, and smiled slightly: "At present, there has only been one side effect of Potion 112, for some reason, green spots have appeared on the iris of orangutans, but this should not be reflected in humans. ”
"How's that, do you want to cooperate, Harry?" Sean stared at each other calmly, and it was time to finally make a decision, "This medicine is not only limited to Alzheimer's disease, but also applies to different kinds of brain diseases, its potential is limitless, and it can bring us great benefits!" ”
Harry was silent for a moment, looked at the chimpanzees in the room who were indistinguishable from humans, and made a decision in his heart that with Osborne Industries' energy and connections, it would be enough for ALZ-112 to enter the production stage and face the market as soon as possible.
"There's still a human trial, Sean, and if the results are still satisfying, Osborne Industries will be your partner!"
Sean raised an eyebrow, patted Harry on the shoulder and smiled, "Of course, remember what I said?" ”
"The future belongs to you and me!" The young boy's eyes sparkled with intense confidence.
