Chapter 316: Surprising News

Deepin Technology invested a huge amount of money to build four key laboratories with specifications that can rank among the top in the world, which can be said to bear the risk that the company may not be able to operate normally. Later, the solid-state battery laboratory successfully developed a metal all-solid-state battery, which ushered in a major change in the global battery industry, which completely solved the problem of insufficient funds.

Unlike the research institutes set up by some domestic Internet giants, the laboratories of Deepin Technology are all funded by the company.

There is no need to be self-financed.

To put it simply, it's about throwing money at any cost.

In Xu Yun's vision, even if it is a bottomless pit, it must be filled.

Because he knows very well that the research projects in the laboratory are related to the future development of human civilization.

It is a long-term layout.

Fortunately, the performance of the laboratory did not disappoint.

At the beginning, the intelligent medical research laboratory cooperated with Lianying Medical Equipment Co., Ltd. successfully combined the intelligent diagnosis system with medical equipment, and greatly alleviated the pressure of doctor resource shortage after the deployment of the hospital.

It also helped Lianying Medical gradually regain its domestic market share, and the number of devices sold increased every year.

You must know that before that, whether it was a small county or a big city, the vast majority of the equipment used by almost all hospitals was overseas equipment.

Today, the situation has improved considerably.

The intelligent medical research laboratory in the back is developed in the direction of intelligent medical operating cabins.

If the research is successful, it will revolutionize the traditional medical model.

As for the solid-state battery lab and the artificial intelligence lab, they are driving the battery revolution and enabling intelligent driving.

Either one of them will shock the world.

However, there is one thing in common in the research and development of projects in these three laboratories.

Xu Yun is involved in all projects.

Only the remaining biological research laboratories, the project research and development depends on all the staff of the laboratory.

Of course, there is no way to do this, who makes Xu Yun not good at research in the field of biology and genetic engineering.

It really doesn't help much.

Only the support of funds and external forces can be guaranteed.

Now that the biological research laboratory has finally come with good news, his happiness can be imagined.

Almost without any hesitation, he postponed his return to the Institute of Quantum Information and Quantum Science and Technology, and went to the Deep Science and Technology Biological Research Laboratory of Longhu Science and Technology Park in Jingzhou City as soon as possible.

……

"How much do you know about the results of this biological research laboratory?"

On November 13, 2023, in Jingzhou City, on the way to Longhu Science and Technology Park, Xu Yun asked Meng Songyan next to him in the car.

Xu Yun has given the company's laboratories enough autonomy, and he has been busy with quantum computers for this time, so he is not very clear about the latest achievements of the biological research laboratory.

After all, this kind of thing is not something that can be explained on the phone.

Originally, he did not inform Meng Songyan, but Meng Songyan was mainly responsible for the company's business.

There are not a lot of things at hand.

Perhaps knowing that Xu Yun had not been to the company for a long time, Meng Songyan took the initiative to ask to accompany him to the laboratory after learning that he was coming to Longhu Science and Technology Park.

Anyway, the lab and the company are not far apart.

Compared with previous years, Meng Songyan looks more mature and stable, and the white hair on his head is more like a symbol of honor.

Speaking of Xu Yun as a professor and then entering the Academy of Sciences, he almost didn't care much about the company.

It made him a little unable to remember the last time the two of them had a conversation.

At present, he naturally attaches great importance to his boss's inquiry, and hurriedly searches for the memory answer in his mind.

"I don't know the specific content, I only know that it is a technological breakthrough in the treatment of cancer tumors."

"Hope you surprise us." Xu Yun nodded and replied.

Cancer has always been a difficult problem for the global medical community, but there is still no good solution to this day.

I don't know how many people die from cancer every year.

Even after spending huge medical bills, many people are still unable to keep people.

The originally good family was shattered in an instant.

That's why so many people are looking forward to the research and development of specific drugs every year, hoping to eradicate cancer.

However, the reality is that not only is cancer incurable, but also tends to get younger and younger.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the laboratory can make progress in cancer treatment technology, it will be even more important in his opinion than the quantum computer cloud platform.

Because quantum computers represent the future, cancer treatment is about the present.

Only by ensuring the health of human civilization can we talk about the future situation.

He knew very well that Meng Songyan's area of expertise was company operations, and it was understandable that he didn't know much about the situation in the laboratory, and he could only wait until the laboratory to know the specific content.

The thought stayed here, and Xu Yun didn't say anything more.

Wait patiently for the vehicle to move.

Seeing that the car fell silent again, Meng Songyan was unwilling to give up this opportunity to communicate more with his boss.

After a little hesitation, he took the initiative to say more.

"Academician Ding has always been meticulous in research, and if it weren't for any real good news, it is estimated that he would not have informed the company immediately like this."

As an academician of the Academy of Engineering and an expert in cancer oncology, the other party also took a lot of effort to persuade him to join the company's biological research laboratory to be responsible for the project. However, it turns out that there is basically no problem in selecting people.

As Meng Songyan said, Academician Ding is just as strict with himself as he is in addition to asking others.

Maybe one of their discoveries may be significant to the outside world, but as long as he feels that he has not achieved the ultimate goal, he will not take it seriously, let alone write a paper and publish it in a journal, basically there is no need to talk about it.

Therefore, it seems that the laboratory has not produced results since its establishment, but in fact, it has long been among the top in the world.

It is also because of this situation that I saw that Academician Ding suddenly attached so much importance to this achievement.

He guessed that there must have been a major breakthrough, which is why he was so excited.

Seeing that Meng Songyan also thought so, he turned around and smiled.

"It seems that this time it is finally the turn of our biological research laboratory, which is making a name for itself all over the world."

"Or boss, you have a long-term vision." Meng Songyan said with emotion from the bottom of his heart.

His words are not sycophants, they are completely sincere.

I still remember that when Xu Yun wanted to set up three new world-class laboratories in one go, he, as the head of the company's operation, disagreed.

Everyone knows how the top scientific research laboratories are a gold-absorbing hole, which is difficult to fill with the company's funds.

In addition, these laboratories still invest money regardless of the cost, which can easily lead to the rupture of the company's capital chain, and the impact on the company is very huge.

It is only because of Xu Yun's persistence that there is a top laboratory that is now famous all over the world.

Now even biological research laboratories are going to join the ranks, which completely proves how forward-looking Xu Yun's previous decision was.

If there is no advance layout at the beginning, there is really not much certainty about what Deepin Technology will do now.

Xu Yun listened to Meng Songyan's words in his heart, although he was calm on the surface, but in fact, he was already happy in his heart.

Not much.

When the vehicle successfully arrived at Longhu Science and Technology Park, Meng Songyan took the initiative to open the door for Xu Yun.

And it is worth mentioning that there are no people downstairs to greet at the moment.

Xu Yun believes that Ding Wei invited him to take charge of the laboratory project, and also takes a fancy to his emphasis on scientific research.

At the very least, I will never waste time waiting for research experiments in order to meet anyone.

Xu Yun is also very supportive of this.

He knows exactly what time means to researchers, and if they really waste their time going downstairs to greet them, that's the real disappointment.

Besides, he doesn't like to be surrounded by a group of people.

There are enough journalists on a regular basis.

Of course, the news of his sudden attack on the biological research laboratory was not told to anyone else.

However, Meng Songyan originally planned to let the company's senior management come down to greet him, after all, who asked Xu Yun to come to the company can be counted on both hands.

In the end, Xu Yun said that he would go to the company to sit down after the incident, so that others would not have to come.

Meng Songyan was undoubtedly very excited when he heard the news, and immediately agreed on the spot.

In this way, Xu Yun came to the biological research laboratory with Meng Songyan and Wang Pengfei, the driver and bodyguard.

——

From the atmosphere of the laboratory and the performance of the researchers, you can basically see the situation of this project team.

After Xu Yun and the three of them entered the public area of the laboratory, they were all busy figures in white research coats.

Even as if they didn't see them, they stood for more than half a minute before anyone reacted.

"Xu Yuan?"

"It's Xu Yuan here!"

At first, the other party seemed to be a little incredulous, but after confirming it, he couldn't help but shout excitedly.

After speaking, he hurriedly went to find Ding Wei.

Although Xu Yun is not an academician in the field of biomedicine, the shadow of the so-called famous tree of people, with the many miracles created by Xu Yun and the quantum computer cloud platform just completed last month, there is no doubt that he is a recognized idol in everyone's hearts worthy of admiration.

This mentality is especially prevalent among young researchers.

Xu Yun didn't stop him, waved his hand at the other party, and still stood in place and waited.

Biological research laboratories are different from other laboratories in that they have strict environmental requirements.

Xu Yun and Meng Songyan didn't change their clothes, and they weren't very suitable for wandering around the lab.

It seems that he didn't expect Xu Yun to come so quickly, and it didn't take long to see two middle-aged and elderly figures wearing research uniforms coming out of it, in addition to Ding Wei from the Medical Department of the Academy of Engineering, there was also a senior expert in the field of genetic engineering, Ms. Zhou Lihua.

It can be said that the two of them are in charge of the project of the biological research laboratory.

"Xu Yuan, why did you come so soon?"

Ding Wei walked to a distance of twenty or thirty centimeters from Xu Yun and stopped, and asked rhetorically before saying hello.

Xu Yun, who knew Ding Wei's character well, naturally didn't care about it.

"Professor Ding Yuanzhou, you have worked hard."

greeted the two of them with a smile on his face, and then turned his head to answer Ding Wei's inquiry.

"I heard that there is good news here in the laboratory, so I don't want to come over and have a look."

"At the moment, we have only just confirmed the direction, and I would have liked to wait until all the results are sorted out before making an official announcement." Ding Wei sighed and replied when he heard this.

Zhou Lihua next to her also took over and echoed: "Our project has indeed made a breakthrough, but it may take some time to improve." Judging from the words, it seems that they are collaborating on research and development this time.

Xu Yun knew that Ding Wei was mainly responsible for cancer treatment, and Zhou Lihua led a team to study genetic engineering.

Judging from the conversation between the two, it is clear that they are working on the same project.

This undoubtedly makes people even more curious.

What's more, it's not easy to come here, so you must know the situation.

The thought stayed here, Xu Yun did not have any surprises, and proposed again:

"It's okay."

"Then go to your office and talk about it, I would also like to know the results of your research in the past few years."

"Then you come with me, Xu Yuan." Ding Wei was no longer entangled when he heard this.

After speaking, he took the lead and led everyone towards his office.

It is also worth mentioning that although Xu Yun and the two of them have a relatively large age gap, they still use the name of the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering.

Judged by scientific research achievements.

He is still called an academician.

Meng Songyan and Wang Pengfei both entered the company very early, which is enough to be called confidants.

So there's nothing to shy away from.

When everyone came to Ding Wei's office and sat down, Ding Wei took off his research coat and made a pot of tea himself, and then his expression suddenly talked about the progress seriously.

"In the past two years, Professor Zhou and I have been researching chimeric antigen receptor T-cell immunotherapy, and although there has been some progress in the middle, we have never broken through the existing boundaries."

"It wasn't until the laboratory was connected to the Zu Chongzhi No. 3 quantum computer that we were able to use quantum computing power to simulate molecules, and we finally had the results that we could take."

Xu Yun, who was sitting on the sofa with a cup of tea, listened to Ding Wei's words into his ears.

While there is silence, the brain is racing.

He is no stranger to chimeric antigen receptor T-cell immunotherapy, as the latest means of treating cancer, even ordinary people have learned a little bit of information on the Internet.

After all, who can guarantee that they will never be approached by cancer for the rest of their lives.

Chimeric antigen receptor T cell immunotherapy is different from the method of attacking cancer cells with foreign drugs such as surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, etc., in that it uses the body's own immune system to treat and disintegrate enemies from within, and can recognize specific protein cell surface receptors.

If other treatments are aimed at prolonging the survival of cancer patients and improving their quality of life, chimeric antigen receptor T-cell immunotherapy is an attempt to cure.

However, this is not a fixed drug, but a customized treatment.

T cells are extracted from the patient's body and then genetically engineered.

Install a positioning and identification system for it.

It can target cancer cells and attack them.

In this way, when the modified cells are delivered back to the patient, the cancer cells can be killed.

However, it is precisely because of the complexity of the treatment process that in addition to the time for cell transformation may take up to a month, the cost is as high as one or two million.

It is difficult for the average family to afford it.

At present, there are similar treatment teams in both China and overseas, but there are still many shortcomings.

There is a high probability that it will end up with both people and money.

Thinking of these related contents, Xu Yun finally understood why Zhou Lihua would also participate in this project, and the cooperation between the two of them in joint research and development can indeed complement each other.

And in this way, Xu Yun's expectations were raised again, and he wanted to know what Ding Wei's breakthrough meant.

"Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell immunotherapy is indeed the most effective treatment for cancer at present, but there are still many problems in terms of upfront preparation, cost and type of cancer."

The thought stayed here, Xu Yun answered in a deep voice, and then handed over the right to speak to Ding Wei.

"Xu Yuan, what you said is right, these problems are exactly what we want to solve."

Ding Wei nodded in affirmation of this sentence, and then a confident smile appeared on his face.

"In fact, with the help of quantum computers, our laboratory has developed a new chimeric antigen receptor technology, which can be used in various cancers in addition to completing cell transformation in a very short time, and the key cost may only be about one-tenth of that of the outside world."

Listening to Ding Wei's words in his ears, not only Xu Yun was quite surprised in the office at this moment, but even Meng Songyan and Wang Pengfei next to him widened their eyes.

What a concept it is.

If, as Academician Ding said, it can be effective for all kinds of cancer, this news is simply a so-called lifesaver for cancer patients.

What's more, they all have families, and the risk of cancer gradually increases as they get older.

If there is such a treatment, it will undoubtedly be much more reassuring.

And in the following time, Ding Wei did not stop, and it can be said that he told Xu Yun in detail about the research results.

To put it simply, Ding Wei's research is equivalent to turning chimeric antigen receptor T cells into an assembly line, from extracting patient cells to completing the transformation and then delivering them to patients, making the originally complex process simple.

This will allow more cancer patients to be treated.

The most important thing is that the cost has been sharply reduced to one-tenth of the outside world, and the chimeric antigen receptor T cell immunotherapy that used to be millions of shots may be able to be done for 100,000 yuan in the future.

In addition, if the cure effect is satisfactory, then it may be that those imported anti-cancer drugs imported overseas will gradually lose the market.

This is a great boon for all cancer patients.

Of course, this is only Ding Wei and Zhou Lihua's ideal results, and the final effect still needs to be experimented.

It is precisely because the technical research has just been completed and the specific human experiment has not yet been entered that Ding Wei will say that Xu Yun came too early.

But Xu Yun had to admit that this was indeed a pleasant surprise for him.

As long as this technology can be approved for marketing through experiments, it is bound to attract the attention of the entire medical community.

The fact that the Deepin Technology Biological Research Laboratory has been established for so long and that it is the first time that such a king bomb has been brought out, which once again shows that it was the right thing for him to build the laboratory regardless of funds.

Although we haven't really seen any results today, I believe it won't be too long before this technology is launched.

The whole conversation lasted for nearly an hour, and just when Xu Yun was happy about his harvest today, he found that the light curtain that had not appeared for a long time automatically appeared in front of him.
