Chapter 65: Development of Medication
"Yes, today I came to complete the discharge procedures for my mother. Her surgery was very successful, and she has almost fully recovered. She can now be discharged and return home for rest," Li Xiaoyun said simply, followed by a concerned question, "And how are the results of your father's examination? Is his condition severe?"
Li Xiaoyun was deeply grateful to Wu Hao from the bottom of her heart. After all, when she made such a request, it was a great challenge to her self-esteem. But Wu Hao not only provided her with the greatest help but also saved her self-esteem. He didn't take advantage of her vulnerability. Through their time together, her feelings towards Wu Hao had transformed from gratitude to admiration.
Upon hearing Li Xiaoyun's inquiry, Wu Hao nodded and said, "It's lung cancer. Although the situation is quite serious, it is still treatable." He naturally didn't mention the experimental medication to her because Wu Hao was confident that he would find a way to completely cure his father in the future.
The medication he was currently researching in the rented laboratory could at least prevent the further spread of cancer cells in the patient's body for a considerable period of time. This period would be around one to two years. However, once this time passed, it would be difficult to control these highly variable and resistant cancer cells if the medication was continued.
After all, cancer cells themselves possess antibodies that can counteract various drugs. Over time, these medications would struggle to resist the spread and erosion of cancer cells.
However, for Wu Hao, as long as he was given one to two years, he had no doubt that he could develop a method to completely eliminate cancer cells. With a breakthrough in genetic technology, not only could he combat viruses within the human body, but he could also replace the entire human body with a new one while retaining the brain.
In fact, a human genetic research institution in the United States had already conducted detailed research on this project. However, they had not made any significant breakthroughs yet.
As for cloning and artificial organs, they had already been applied in some medical cases, but these artificial organs were not particularly stable.
Regarding the concept of preserving only the human brain and replacing the entire body to achieve a different form of rebirth, these institutions had already collected many volunteers worldwide, mostly people suffering from terminal illnesses who were nearing the end of their lives.
Although Wu Hao's parents knew that he would be leaving for a few days, they didn't inquire about the specifics. After all, Wu Hao was already an adult, and as parents, they couldn't ask about everything in detail.
Moreover, since he was young, his parents rarely interfered with his affairs and would only advise him to be careful when he was away from home.
In the afternoon, Wu Hao arrived at the laboratory on campus. The entire building where the laboratory was located was large, and besides this laboratory, there were other research laboratories in various fields.
This laboratory occupied an entire floor of the building. However, now there was no one else inside except Wu Hao.
Upon entering the laboratory, Wu Hao didn't immediately start working. Instead, he carefully scanned the surroundings using his mental perception, checking for any hidden cameras or similar surveillance devices.
After all, the means of his research that would follow could not be known to the outside world. It was normal for a laboratory like this to be equipped with covert surveillance devices.
As expected, after a thorough mental scan, Wu Hao discovered several monitoring cameras, but they were not currently operational.
Upon discovering this, Wu Hao didn't disable the cameras. He simply covered them with some objects. The purpose of these cameras was mainly to prevent theft and unauthorized access to the laboratory. However, after receiving the notice that the laboratory would be rented out, the personnel responsible for the laboratory had deactivated these cameras.
Since entering the control room of the laboratory would allow one to see all the closed-circuit devices in the laboratory, there was no need for the surveillance equipment to be activated now. Even if they needed to be activated, it would be done by the personnel using the laboratory.
