Chapter 346 Winning the Prize
Chapter 346 Winning the Prize
Looking at the results he had achieved in reality, Lin Chen smiled brightly.
This is an unexpected surprise, isn't it?
Originally, I was only interested in gene chips.
Unexpectedly, they made a breakthrough in another area first.
But now that it's already been done, let's publish it as soon as possible!
This can also be seen as laying the groundwork for his future technological breakthroughs.
With that in mind, Lin Chen immediately sat down at his computer and began writing his thesis.
The paper is titled "A gene editing tool that can accurately target and cut gene fragments!"
It has the foundation laid by research in a virtual laboratory.
This paper was completed smoothly in just one afternoon.
After finishing his thesis, Lin Chen called his assistant and asked him to submit it to Longke Institute.
Since Lin Chen invented the Lin's Therapy and established his own independent laboratory.
The higher-ups then assigned him a large number of people.
Besides having an assistant who serves as a personal assistant in the lab, they also have their own driver when they go out.
Lin Chen was focused on his research, so he was naturally happy to have someone help him with his life and didn't pay much attention to it.
However, when she had dinner with Chen Xiaoxiao later, Chen Xiaoxiao noticed something amiss.
That personal assistant, although called an assistant, had a straight posture and did things in a very methodical manner.
Chen Xiaoxiao called Lin Chen several times to invite him to dinner, but he always verified Chen Xiaoxiao's identity and the purpose of the call first.
The driver who drove Lin Chen was even more obvious.
She and Lin Chen were having dinner, and although the driver wouldn't be there, he could be found if one looked carefully.
You'll definitely be able to see the driver's figure within a hundred meters.
In other words, these two are very likely bodyguards assigned to Lin Chen by his superiors.
Lin Chen wasn't surprised when he learned about this.
After all, when I first returned from the United States, I was surrounded by many foreigners.
After the Longchen Zhihang incident was exposed, the number of international students at Longke University increased even more.
With enemies eyeing them covetously, the Dragon Kingdom cannot remain indifferent.
It is only natural to upgrade Lin Chen's security level.
Thinking about this, Lin Chen immediately understood why he had learned from his parents a few days ago that their jobs had changed.
Now both of them have taken jobs at the Donghai Municipal Government, although they are only in sinecure positions, but their workplace is inside the municipal government building.
It seems to be the result of special care from the state. He has a sinecure in the municipal government, the work is easy, and most importantly, the security in this place is strict, so there is no need to worry about accidents.
Upon receiving Lin Chen's new thesis, the assistant surnamed Qian became quite curious.
"Professor Lin, what was the discovery in your paper this time? I'd like to find out so I can directly contact the relevant experts."
"Regarding genes. Tell them that I intend to publish this paper only as an internal document of the Longke Institute, and that I will only publish a purely theoretical and directional paper to the outside world."
Just like with the previous Lin's therapy, Lin Chen will still keep some secrets from outsiders this time.
Anyway, now that things have come to this, if anyone tells him that science has no borders, then...
He would definitely slap the other person and make him tell the Americans what he said.
Science knows no borders, but scientists do!
Lin Chen's latest technological achievements will naturally only be left to the Dragon Kingdom.
As for others... telling you a general overview and giving you a research finding is already considered a great act of mercy.
Soon after, Lin Chen's paper was sent to several leading figures in biology at the Longke Academy.
Upon learning of Lin Chen's new discovery, Dean Hou, the current president of the Dragon Science Academy, also rushed over.
When he arrived, he saw several professors holding Lin Chen's thesis and sighing deeply.
"Gentlemen, what's going on?"
"It's nothing, I just suddenly feel like I'm getting old."
One of the professors sighed and handed Lin Chen's paper to Dean Hou.
"Look at this! I never imagined that young people these days could be so terrifying!"
Dean Hou was puzzled and took a look at the paper.
"A completely new gene-editing tool?"
Upon seeing the title of the paper, Dean Hou gasped in shock.
Is this the content of Lin Chen's new paper?
He actually developed a new gene-editing tool?
Although Lin Chen has once again become famous for using CAR-T technology to overcome cancer.
But he didn't expect Lin Chen to go even further and create a completely new gene-editing tool!
Suppressing his shock, Dean Hou carefully read the paper.
Although he didn't know much about gene technology, he could still see the importance of this paper.
Without a doubt, this is another significant breakthrough that can be compared to the Lin's Therapy!
With Lin Chen's gene-editing tools, China's gene-editing technology will surely reach a whole new level!
At this moment, someone else relayed Lin Chen's instructions to Dean Hou.
Upon hearing this, Dean Hou gave an awkward laugh.
It's unbelievable that Lin Chen, at such a young age, already possesses such awareness...
He had to admit that, with Lin Chen's talent, he was indeed a pillar of the nation!
Now, he has no choice but to give him those two things!
With a smile and a shake of his head, Dean Hou put down the paper and hurried off to a certain place in Beijing.
Soon after, Lin Chen was notified that his paper, which had been significantly abridged and retained only the theoretical aspects, was ready for publication.
Upon receiving the notification, Lin Chen immediately submitted another manuscript to the journal Nature.
While submitting his article, Lin Chen also received a notification from Principal Xu.
He won the award!
And it wasn't just one award, it was two awards.
One of the top ten outstanding young people in the country, and one recipient of the National Science and Technology Progress Award.
The former was jointly organized by the Dragon Kingdom Youth Federation and ten major news organizations, aiming to recommend young talents and establish role models for the times.
The latter is one of the highest awards and honors that scientists in China can receive.
Lin Chen never expected that he would receive both awards at the same time!
Moreover, as far as he knew, the judging period for these two awards shouldn't have started yet, so why was it brought forward?
"Lin Chen, heroes are made by the times. You certainly deserve these two awards. Moreover, the current situation is difficult, and the country needs to take you as an example to boost morale!"
Upon hearing Principal Xu's words, Lin Chen immediately understood.
Am I being used as a role model again?
Recently, the domestic technology community has been in a state of despair due to the comprehensive blockade imposed by the United States on the chip industry.
The fact that the country announced these two awards ahead of schedule at this time is clearly intended to use itself as an example to encourage Chinese scientists to overcome the difficulties together!
However, Lin Chen naturally felt obligated to do such a thing.
Soon after, a grand commendation ceremony was held at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.
"Dr. Lin Chen, thank you for your significant contributions to the motherland and the people."
After receiving the certificate and trophy for the "National Science and Technology Progress Award" from the Grand Elder, Lin Chen heard the Grand Elder smile and say, "The times are difficult, and we look forward to your continued efforts to open up a new era of science and technology for the country!"
"Thank you!"
Lin Chen smiled and said, "Please wait and see!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for winning a top national science award! One-third of the conditions for completing the mission to the top of the world have been met!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have won the National Science and Technology Progress Award! You have gained 200 Academic Points!"
