A genius? I just love studying.

Chapter 324 The True Nirvana

"Old Lin is right, let's start the experiment!"

After a moment's thought, Mr. Qian made his decision.

Chen Hui's discovery was like opening Pandora's box. If this achievement had been made a few years earlier, it would probably have sparked a global war and brought endless chaos.

But Chen Hui had already found a solution before opening Pandora's box.

The success of controlled nuclear fusion power generation makes everything seem natural: lifespans will double, and the population will naturally explode. However, Earth's resources are insufficient, and the vast starry sky of the Milky Way can support everything.

Furthermore, as lifespan increases, Earth's technology will experience explosive growth.

Previously, an ordinary scientist would need at least thirty years to complete the learning of prerequisite knowledge in order to conduct truly cutting-edge research. Thirty to forty years was their golden research age, which meant that the time when they were most likely to produce results was only about ten years.

But now, if Chen Hui's new drug is successfully developed, it can not only extend lifespan to 150 years, but also keep people as young as possible. 140 years old is equivalent to the physical condition of a 40-year-old today.

So even though technology is developing rapidly and requires more time to learn, an ordinary scientist who needs 40 years to learn still has 100 years to conduct research.

The difference between 10 years and 100 years is exponential, and he dares not imagine what the future world will be like.

Perhaps, the vast universe will no longer be science fiction, but a reality!
The secretary, Xiao Jiang, was already drenched in cold sweat. Only after hearing the final decision did she breathe a sigh of relief, and her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

……

At Princeton, Fefferman stared blankly at the freshly printed, still-warm paper for a long time.

He had finished reading the paper "Cancer Treatment Based on Reprogrammed Gene Circuits". Although it contained many hidden details, based on his understanding of Chen Hui's academic attitude, he believed that all the data in the paper should be true.

In other words, Chen Hui really solved the problem of cancer that had plagued the entire planet for decades.

The key point is that Chen Hui is just a mathematician!
How did he do that?
While he could still explain Chen Hui's previous astonishing achievements—after all, historical figures like Gauss, Euler, and Manujan were all such unreasonable geniuses—Chen Hui's current actions have exceeded his understanding of genius.

Standing to the side, Deng Leyan was equally stunned. It had only been a little over two years, how could that guy have already reached a point where he couldn't even look up to him anymore?

Controlled nuclear fusion, a complete cure for cancer...

With such a glorious achievement, what can he possibly surpass?

despair!

……

At S.H.I.E.L.D., Wilson and Fury fell into a long silence after reading the paper "Chinese Mathematics".

Fury even laughed; people really do laugh when they're helpless.

“If I had supported you back then and kept Chen Hui in America forever, perhaps this wouldn’t have happened.”

Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, Wilson, who was proud throughout his life, rarely admitted his mistakes.

Fury shook his head. "It's no use. If that were the case, we wouldn't be standing here right now."

“Before he came to America, China’s seventh-generation fighter jet was already on the production line.”

Wilson fell silent again.

He understood Fury's meaning. With the seventh-generation fighter jet in hand, America was completely powerless to resist. If Chen Hui hadn't been unharmed, China would definitely not have let them off so easily.

"forget it."

"The moon has its phases of waxing and waning, and the tides rise and fall; everything is predetermined."

“I, America, have flourished for over two hundred years; it is time for me to retire from the limelight.”

Fury sighed softly. He had been studying Chinese culture diligently recently and felt that his soul had been cleansed. He had become much more peaceful in the face of these things.

Wilson, however, hardened his resolve and looked eastward, "It won't be that easy!"

"My America has prospered for over two hundred years, and its foundation is beyond their imagination. Just wait, this is not over!"

……

Huaxia Mathematics has always garnered significant attention, and many media outlets noticed the paper immediately upon its publication. However, the findings presented in the paper were far too astonishing.

If this were the media industry before the crackdown, it would probably have immediately come up with an even more sensational headline and started a massive wave of reporting.

Those who are still in the journalism industry have decided to consult with professionals before making a decision. Previous events have made them realize that they are official media, not independent media, and cannot speak nonsense.

Perhaps not everyone knows they are wrong, but they know that if they don't do this, the consequences will be dire.

Therefore, their report came a little later than the paper became popular in academic circles. In fact, it was only after rumors had been circulating for several days that Renren Daily published a long article to confirm the matter.

[Proud! Chinese scientist Chen Hui leads team to overcome a global challenge!]

It is reported that Chen Hui, a young Chinese scientist, led his team to develop Nirvana No. 1 cancer treatment drug... This is a significant contribution from my country to all mankind! Salute to the scientific and technological workers!
This lengthy article details Chen Hui's work and the data that is currently available for public release.

With detailed data, the article's credibility increased significantly. With previous rumors as a foundation, this long article completely ignited public opinion, garnering 500 million likes, 120 million shares, and 80 comments in just three hours after its release.

This data is something that journalists would never have dared to imagine before.

[Awesome!!! (voice cracks) This is the kind of star we should be following! Share this to get some of this academic genius's aura!]

I cried... My mother passed away from lung cancer. I really hope this technology can be widely available soon to save millions of families. [Tears][Tears][Tears]

What will the biotech and pharmaceutical sector look like tomorrow? I don't even want to think about it. [Eating popcorn]

Does anyone remember that Chen Shen was a mathematician?

[I know that. It's said that Chen Shen gave up his studies to become a doctor because his uncle had lung cancer. He disappeared from the public eye for the past two years to study cancer. A year ago, he even published a research paper on the subject as the third author.]

[Ahhh! Handsome, smart, and loyal! When will the government assign boyfriends like him?]

[Chen Shen doesn't have a girlfriend yet, so I still have a chance. How can I get to know Chen Shen? I'm waiting online, it's urgent!]

It's not just Renren Daily; it's become incredibly popular across all major online platforms. Related topics are frequently trending on Weibo, Zhihu, Hupu, Bilibili, Xiaohongshu, and other platforms. All ten of the top ten trending topics on these platforms are related to this topic.

[How would you evaluate the Nirvana No. 1, a cancer-curing drug, published by Chen Shen's team in *Huaxia Mathematics*?] [Thanks for the invitation. I'm in the lab, just off the electron microscope.]

I have a conflict of interest, so I'm remaining anonymous.

Oh well, I can't stay anonymous now, so never mind.

To sum it up: this work is Nobel Prize-worthy, and it's the kind that's immediately, instantly, and without any controversy.

Looking at the second and third authors of this paper, we can see that 90% of the results were achieved under Chen Shen's guidance.

I'm from the lab next door. My level as a second author is about the same as my professor's. My professor's assessment of this is that he hasn't even touched the threshold of this research yet, and he's crying in his office every day, regretting why he didn't meet Professor Chen first.

Finally, returning to this paper, while everyone else was thinking about how to kill cancer cells more precisely, Chen Shen was thinking about how to teach them to turn back into normal cells. This shift in thinking represents a breakthrough on a philosophical level...

What's terrifying about this work is that it almost perfectly integrates synthetic biology, nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, and basic immunology. Each module alone is top-tier in academic journals, and he has managed to seamlessly integrate them into one system... In this world, I can only think of one person like Chen Shen who could do something like this.

Finally, here's some inside information: it's said that the Phase III clinical trials of Nirvana No. 1 have shown very good results, so it shouldn't be long before it's officially launched on the market.

As a researcher, I feel only deep admiration and a little bit of envy. Professor Chen is amazing!

[Hey, how can I get in touch with Dr. Chen's lab? My mom has late-stage stomach cancer and is dying. I want to apply to be a clinical volunteer. Could you please show me how? We're desperate.]

My grandfather is the same; the doctors all told us to go home. It's really, really urgent!

Hundreds of messages appeared instantly under this reply, asking how to join the clinical volunteer program. They had reached the worst possible point; even if Chen Hui wasn't the one who invented the new drug, they were willing to give it a try.

This paper quickly became a huge sensation on Earth.

Western media are also discussing this issue enthusiastically, from Facebook to YouTube, from Instagram to TikTok, there is discussion about it everywhere.

[Breaking News! A Moon Landing Moment in Medical History! A team led by Chen Hui, a brilliant scientist from China, announced the development of Nirvana Therapy, with clinical trials showing a complete cure for advanced lung cancer! The principle is cell reprogramming, a non-traditional killing method. The paper has been published in *Chinese Mathematics*.]

As a doctor who has battled cancer for 20 years, if what I've seen is true, this is the greatest achievement of the century, bar none. I can't wait to read the full paper. Holy crap.

This is so important!! My father passed away from lung cancer two years ago, and this is a source of hope for everyone!

[I'm not a scientist, but I cried. My wife is in Phase IV, and this is the first time in a long time that I feel real hope. How long until it's on the market? Can foreigners apply to participate in clinical trials?]

……

Song Chaoming has been extremely busy lately. He never expected the paper publication to have such a big impact on them. Many patients will not be able to wait for the new drug to be available. Even if they have to take some risks, they will apply to become volunteers for the Phase III clinical trial.

Hundreds of thousands of volunteer applications flooded in at once, and the immense pressure made Song Chaoming almost breathless.

Fortunately, Chen Hui returned at this time. Song Chaoming had been too busy these days and had not paid attention to the progress of Liu Jishou's project. But he thought that Liu Jishou's experiment must have encountered difficulties, which was within his expectations.

For some reason, seeing Chen Hui return to the lab gave him a sense of peace and reassurance.

Chen Hui adhered to his principles. No matter how many volunteer applications there were, he strictly required Tang Jian and his team that only terminally ill patients and a small number of late-stage patients could apply. Everyone else was not allowed to apply.

Although Nirvana No. 1 is performing well so far, only time will tell the final efficacy. At this point, we cannot be impatient.

However, they also had to verify the efficacy of Nirvana No. 1 on advanced and early-to-mid-stage cancers, so after several rounds of screening, they accepted ten volunteers who were early-to-mid-stage or late-stage cancer patients.

After entering Phase III clinical trials, Song Chaoming and his team moved their battlefield from the laboratory to the hospital; otherwise, their laboratory wouldn't have been able to accommodate so many people.

"Should we go to the testing lab to take a look?"

After Chen Hui made the decision, Song Chaoming smiled easily and even had the leisure to invite Chen Hui to take a stroll around the hospital.

Chen Hui nodded; he also wanted to see the effects of Nirvana-1.

"Zhang Cuicui, these are your PET-CT scan results. From the imaging, we can't see any active tumor lesions, and the tumor markers have also dropped to the normal range. According to the protocol definition... you have achieved complete remission, and continuous monitoring shows no signs of recurrence."

"You can be discharged now."

As soon as Chen Hui arrived at the entrance of the testing room, he heard an attending physician speaking to a patient.

Zhang Cuicui was stunned. She subconsciously touched her chest, where she had once suffocated. Now, her breathing was so smooth that she wanted to cry, but she didn't. Instead, her husband hugged her tightly and burst into tears.

"You've suffered these past few days!"

Zhang Cuicui also hugged her husband tightly. In the past few years, this man in front of her not only had to work hard to earn money to treat her illness, but also had to take care of the children and her. He was only in his thirties, but now he looked like an old man in his fifties or sixties.

"It's not hard."

The man repeatedly said, "Anything I do is worth it if it can help you get better."

"Although you are in good condition now, remember to come for regular check-ups, and contact us immediately if anything is wrong."

The attending physician couldn't bear to see such a sentimental scene, so he gave a few instructions and then took the medical record to the next subject's ward.

"Okay, thank you, Dr. Liu."

Zhang Cuicui and the other woman looked at Dr. Liu's back.

Dr. Liu turned around and smiled, "Why thank me? If anyone should thank someone, it should be Professor Chen."

"Professor Chen should certainly thank you, but Dr. Liu should also thank you."

Zhang Cuicui said with a smile.

Her husband stared at his radiant wife, a smile he hadn't seen on her face in a long time.

"Let's go pick up the kids from school."

Holding his wife's hand, the man felt as if he were holding the whole world in his hands.

"Zhang Cuicui, a 36-year-old late-stage lung cancer patient and mother of two young children, was diagnosed with cancer cells that had already entwined her lungs like vines. Chemotherapy caused her to lose her hair, and severe coughing and difficulty breathing prevented her from hugging her children."

Song Chaoming explained to Chen Hui that these volunteers were all selected by them, and he was deeply impressed by each one. "She told me that she had even secretly written birthday cards for the children for every birthday in the future, hoping to accompany the children as they grow up in this way."

Seeing these recovered test subjects, Song Chaoming felt for the first time that what he was doing was so meaningful, which is why he didn't feel tired even though he only slept three hours a day these days.
