"We designed several experintal petri dishes, each containing blood samples, and observed... Finally, we found that one of the petri dishes showed..."
"Based on this, I speculated that there might be sothing within that petri dish that could fight against the AIDS virus. At this mont, I want to thank my friend, Fan Lei, who contributed a significant amount of his blood to this research..."
"Clamor~~"
At the end, several noisy responses rose up, and Fan Lei even stood up directly. He pointed at himself with excitent, as if saying, "Here, I am Fan Lei, look, great or not?"
Zhao Yi continued describing the experintal process, and soon moved on to the next analysis: "...Based on this, I speculate that it is related to the antibodies produced by the human immune system."
Next one.
"Based on this, I speculate that it should be related to so specific antibodies from the rod-shaped bacterial family. We’ve tested several kinds of rod-shaped bacteria in our experints and conducted the analysis accordingly..."
Next one.
"Based on this, I speculate that it should not be the direct action of antibodies, but perhaps so substances that are produced together with antibodies..."
Next one.
"Based on this, I suppose... we’ve locked onto the 2CV-Bing Hydrogen Molecule, which we’ve targeted for anti-AIDS virus research, and ultimately discovered that it indeed has the effect of weakening the toxicity of the virus."
"..."
Biodical research reports are not difficult to understand, as they generally consist of designing experints, drawing conclusions, conducting analysis, etc. As long as professional biodical researchers have accumulated enough knowledge and are not venturing into unknown areas, they can understand the reports.
The audience consisted of dical researchers and industry professionals, so even top representatives in the field. However, they gradually found it difficult to follow, especially the part regarding ’conclusion derivation.’
They found that Zhao Yi’s reasoning wasn’t based on a careful and sensible process but rather lacked so ’necessary conditions.’ It seed as if he had skipped many steps and directly arrived at the conclusion.
The ergence of these conclusions was surprising, and so were initially hard to imagine.
For example, the part related to bacterial antibodies.
The original experint aid to study which bacterium or virus would generate an immune response with similar anti-AIDS effects, but the conclusion that it is related to the ’bacterial antibodies’ was reached after only one step. Why?
Why antibodies?
Why not the substances secreted by the bacteria themselves?
Why not sothing else?
Etc.
No explanations were given. It wasn’t that Zhao Yi didn’t explain it clearly, but that he had quickly arrived at the conclusion.
So... why?
Of course, it was improper to interrupt during the presentation, and Zhao Yi continued his report accordingly. He gave a brief account of the experint, "The above is our laboratory’s process of discovering the effect of the 2CV-Bing Hydrogen Molecule in weakening the toxicity of the AIDS virus..."
Next ca the Q&A session.
Usually, the audience would respond with a round of applause after the presentation, but this ti barely any applause was heard. Most people looked puzzled.
The host announced the start of the Q&A session.
Suddenly.
A sea of hands shot up from the audience.
The host called on Academician ng Guocheng in the front row, who asked with puzzlent, "Zhao Yi, I have so doubts about the process of your experintal analysis and conclusion, for example, the part about the unique bacterial antibodies you ntioned just now. How did a simple comparison of the anti-AIDS virus experint lead to the conclusion that it’s related to unique bacterial antibodies? How did you arrive at this conclusion? Under normal circumstances, shouldn’t there be many possibilities?"
Zhao Yi nodded honestly and said, "Yes, there are many possibilities. However, I’ve realized that verifying each possibility would require many people, a considerable amount of funding, and nurous experints. Our laboratory doesn’t have these conditions."
"So I picked one to verify."
"I relied on luck... I didn’t expect our luck to be so good." He laughed as he spoke, seemingly celebrating his good fortune.
ng Guocheng almost spat blood upon hearing this. He took a deep breath and beca more anxious. "What about...? In the end, you determined it to be the 2CV-Bing Hydrogen Molecule. To my knowledge, the human immune response to rod-shaped bacteria produces several substances, right? So are even inorganic waste. So how did you...?"
"I thought that the possibility of an inorganic substance was slim, so I chose the 2CV-Bing Hydrogen Molecule.", Zhao Yi said seriously, "The 2CV-Bing Hydrogen Molecule has a protein-like structure, and I’ve consulted nurous references before finally making the judgnt."
ng Guocheng’s jaw dropped, and he remained stunned for a while before finally sitting down, speechless.
Logic?
Conditions?
Since Zhao Yi openly admitted to relying on luck, what else could be said? Everything was explained.
Several more people stood up to ask questions—mainly about the experintal process and results analysis—and Zhao Yi’s answers were more or less the sa: about ’taking a chance’ to find the right direction. Eventually, he simply declared, "It’s a gut feeling!" when faced with multiple questions.
"Really!"
"Feeling is very important."
"I don’t have the rich scientific research experience or the extensive knowledge accumulation of everyone here, but I have a strong belief in my own intuition."
"..."
Everyone in the audience was left speechless.
They didn’t think Zhao Yi was lying, because the results had already co out, and Zhao Yi had no reason to lie. From a scientific research logic perspective, the experintal process he designed had many possibilities for each step, and it would be a huge project to test each one, just as Zhao Yi said, with not enough manpower and financial support.
So validations also require high-end equipnt, which might not be available at the Biodical Research Institute.
So, the approximate process should be more or less the sa, finding the right direction based on ’intuition’ and then designing experints to conduct research.
The problem is here.
Is intuition important? Extrely important!
Others doing research will also encounter similar problems, which may have many inferences from analyzing a certain experintal process and result, and it is impossible to test each of them.
At this ti, experience becos very important.
If they make the correct choices, the research may go smoothly, and it may be easy to make new discoveries. In contrast, if they make the wrong choices, subsequent efforts will be fruitless.
They think it’s experience, and the more projects they do, the more experience they naturally accumulate, and the higher the probability of making the correct choice.
Putting the sa thing on Zhao Yi, it’s not experience, but intuition?
With his ’intuition,’ Zhao Yi smoothly conducts research all the way, and in a short ti, discovers the effect of the 2CV-Bing Hydrogen Molecule in weakening the toxicity of the AIDS virus?
This... "
Is completely incomprehensible!
...
After the results report is over, many people discussed, "Zhao Yi said it’s intuition; shouldn’t it be experience?"
"He is a genius!" soone answered.
"What do you an? Is it related to being a genius?"
"Of course! We research by experience, and he does it by intuition; isn’t that a genius?"
"A genius doesn’t need experience to make the right decisions. You can’t deny it. Today I’ve seen that dical research needs talent too! Look at Zhao Yi, so young and in his early 20s, doing research for two or three years, and already cracking AIDS... Who would dare say it’s not talent-related? Who would say it has nothing to do with intelligence?"
"This is the gap between a genius and an ordinary person!"
"We..."
"Are just ordinary people!"
Many people discussed it and could only smile bitterly.
Even if they didn’t want to accept it, it had already happened. Zhao Yi had almost no experience, yet relied on intuition to make great achievents. It wasn’t sothing they could even envy.
At the sa ti.
ng Guocheng sat blankly, contemplating his life, always believing that dical research, the most important thing is experience and knowledge, plus the influence of the research environnt, doing a step-by-step experintal design, a step-by-step inference, to ultimately achieve the result.
Now...
He feels that his life experience has been turned upside down!
Just as the person next to him said, "Who would dare say intelligence has nothing to do with it? Zhao Yi is a genius!"
"Yeah!"
"Zhao Yi is a genius!"
"So... I’m just a fool. I have no achievents in the first half of my life, and only because I’ve done a lot of research and for a long ti, I know more and have achieved a little success..."
"Sigh~"
ng Guocheng sighed deeply, suddenly feeling a sense of desolation. What’s the point?
The future belongs to geniuses like Zhao Yi, and for people like him, without much talent and relying entirely on experience, maybe it’s ti to leave the research industry, enjoy their retirent or engage in education.
