Chapter 461: Chapter 490: The Lovable Scientist
Translator: 549690339
Houston, Texas Medical Center, area 4:
It was around 10 a.m. , but the biomedical research city, which had been built with a lot of money, had become a little cold. When it was first built, it was supposed to attract the world’s top research talent and inst.i.tutions to move in and invest, it was expected to provide 30,000 research jobs.
However, after the new mayor took office, the plan was put on hold, and government resources were used to invest in the new virtual construction zone.
As usual, Professor Madeleine came early to the research inst.i.tute belonging to her project in zone four to continue the experiments of her project. Judging from the diary provided by the computer, this was the 1,400 th experiment.
Every time Madeleine came, she would spend two hours rereading the experiment records for nearly a month to prevent duplication. As for why she needed to waste time on these things… It was because she no longer had any a.s.sistants in the lab to help her do what these a.s.sistants were supposed to do…
Madeleine was old. As she was almost 50 years old, it was obviously impossible for her to completely memorize all the previous experimental data. Moreover, she did not have any professional a.s.sistants to help her record the changes of the data and provide reference opinions, it also made her progress as slow as a snail’s crawl. The reason for this was because of the lack of funds for the three years.
Madeleine’s research project was a large biological research project on HOW TO USE THE CRISPR gene programming technology to improve the body’s white blood cells to effectively fight cancer.
The project looked big, and the results were amazing. But just like migrating to Mars could open up another world resource, this kind of project seemed ideal, but it was difficult to attract investment, because if you said you could solve a problem that could not be solved for years, most of the capitalists would not believe it. It turned out that most of these projects were projects that could not be solved no matter how much money they spent.
Therefore, Madeleine’s funding only came from the government’s support. She was very lucky. When she first started this project, she met a mayor who was very supportive of biomedical research. However, just when her project was making good progress, old Joseph could not stand it and let someone else take the mayor’s seat.
Because of this, the only financial chain of the Madeleine project was broken, and it could no longer provide sufficient salaries for researchers.
Most of the young people nowadays were very realistic. Not everyone would insist on a scientific research ideal without money. Madeleine actually understood this very well. North America’s tuition fees were expensive, those who could work as research a.s.sistants in Houston, where such big names gathered, were all top students who graduated from famous universities. They had studied at least seven years of university. In North America, the tuition fees for seven years of Ivy League universities were at least 300,000 dollars, this was definitely an expensive expense for an ordinary family.
The parents who paid such a huge price for you naturally did not want you to work for others for free. People always had to eat well, wear warm clothes, and meet the most basic material requirements in order to have higher ideals.
Therefore, Madeline did not try to stop any of her a.s.sistants from leaving. She did not even try to persuade them because she was not sure that she would succeed in this experiment. She was not one of those black-hearted capitalists, she would not lick her lips and persuade them to rely on their dreams for a living if she was not sure of the future…
After spending another morning to finally get the data organized, Madeline sat on the chair with some fatigue. She was already old and her bones were strong. Her current body could no longer allow her to work continuously…
Sighing, Madeleine brewed a cup of black coffee to refresh herself, in case she fell asleep due to fatigue and had to reorganize the data when she woke up… …
Feeling that her body was unable to do what she wanted, Madeleine suddenly felt a little emotional. If one wanted to continue on the path of their predecessors, they had to first acc.u.mulate their predecessors’knowledge, usually, it would take half a lifetime for one to barely become a pioneer on the path of scientific research, but at this time, one’s physical ability had already begun to decline.
What an extremely contradictory reality…
Madeleine could not help but sigh. Then, she was slightly stunned. She was actually not a sentimental person. Could it be that the time was running out?
At this thought, she looked at her arm that was gradually withering. Her once delicate and fair skin was gone for good. Her best years had unknowingly disappeared, and her dream career had only just begun…
Her original plan was to use genetic programming to achieve resistance against cancer cells, replacing the painful radiation and chemotherapy in the current market. Then, she would use it to strengthen the cells and strengthen the other human immunity, she could even extend her life.
This idea had been born when she was still in school. But now, she was almost at the end of her rope, and she hadn’t even taken the first step… …
It felt… so unfair…
Just as she was about to sigh, the computer suddenly notified her that someone was visiting her, and it was actually her. This notification made Madeline slightly stunned,
her laboratory had been deserted for almost a year, and there was actually a visitor? To be honest, even if the guy next door who was researching the latest anti-prostate hyperplasia drug had a visitor, she would not be so surprised. She was so scared that she knocked her coffee on the ground.
Then, out of curiosity, she did not even have time to clean up the coffee on the ground. She turned on her computer to see who was visiting her. Her lease was not up yet, so she could not be here to chase him away, right?
When she turned on the computer, Madeline saw an extremely familiar face. When she saw who it was, her initially puzzled face instantly revealed an excited expression!
Mayor Ruder?
She didn’t expect that after three years, the mayor who was the only one who supported her project would actually visit her. Wasn’t he missing?
She had been busy with scientific research recently, so she was a little behind in accepting news from the outside world. However, when she saw old Joseph’s face, she immediately understood that her project might have a chance!
At this thought she did not delay any longer, and stumbled to open the door.

“Madeleine Leonteswiener?”Little cabbage looked at the data curiously tilted his head: “Never Heard Of, very powerful?”
“He may not be well known in academia, but he is definitely a gifted and pure researcher… “old Joseph laughed. “Houston is full of world-famous biologists, but I don’t see many as pure as her
“Pure? How Do You Mean?”Little cabbage asked curiously.
Joseph said, “Most researchers are more like speculators. They will change their original intentions according to the market and go with the flow. But this person is different. She has been working hard for her genetic programming project since she debuted. I have been paying attention to her. Ten years ago, in order to build the fourth district, I lured her over with the intention of supporting her project. She did not hesitate to give up her comfortable life as a professor at the French Inst.i.tute of Higher Education and threw herself into Houston’s unfinished career. I actually did not think highly of her project. I just wanted to poach her over and guide her to do some more profitable research, but I seem to have underestimated her stubbornness…”. “…”
Bai Cai:”…”
Joseph sighed and continued, “Even now, without an a.s.sistant, she is still working on the project by herself, recording every step of the process. She even knows that she might not be able to complete this task, but she is still willing to work hard for more progress in this project. Even if it means less detours for the people behind her, she is willing to go bankrupt for this…”. “…”
Upon hearing this, little cabbage was immediately filled with respect. In this impetuous society, this kind of scientist who did not forget his original intention was the most worthy of respect. Even Alice, who was beside him, stopped smiling playfully. If what Joseph said was true… This Madeline was indeed an extremely suitable candidate…
“Is it… Mayor Ruder?”
Just as he was thinking, he saw an old woman who was gasping for breath running down from the front. She opened the door with a face full of pleasant surprise. Little cabbage and the others noticed that she seemed to be too excited. This woman didn’t even notice that one of her shoes had run away… …
What a cute person… Little cabbage thought so… …
