Chapter 382 - 253: Shock the World

Chapter 382: Chapter 253: Shock the World

A photographer captured a particularly handsome shot.

It was the moment Jiang He delivered the most hard-hitting words with the calmest of expressions.

In the media section, dozens of foreign correspondents from the world’s top medical journals and mainstream media outlets began typing furiously.

"Quick, kill the current layout! Change the front-page headline!"

"Headline: ’Chinese Research Team Advances Pancreatic Cancer Detection by 2-3 Years.’ Publish it now!"

"Get the editor-in-chief on the line! Something huge is happening in Baltimore! The Chinese team pulled off early screening for pancreatic cancer using peripheral blood miRNA! Yes, you heard that right! They did it!"

A continuous barrage of camera flashes froze Jiang He’s figure in the light.

A Chinese research team had advanced the detection of pancreatic cancer by two to three years!

This sentence was destined to echo around the world!

...

Back in China, in a Yangcheng internet cafe.

It was late at night.

Chen Hao, Cheng Xiyao, Lu Xiaolin, Zhou Yang, and Lin Yue were all crowded around a single computer, constantly refreshing the overseas section of Dingxiang Garden.

"Has it loaded yet?"

"Not yet, not yet! This crappy internet speed!"

Just then, Chen Hao’s phone suddenly rang.

As soon as he answered, it was Cai Zhuqun. "Brother Hao, quick, quick, quick, quick, quick..."

Chen Hao was frantic. "Senior Brother! Now is not the time to stutter!"

Cai Zhuqun said, "Oh, oh! Look, look at the Reuters alert! The news! I-I’ll send it to you!!"

The moment the page finished loading:

[BREAKTHROUGH IN MEDICAL FRONTIERS: CHINESE RESEARCH TEAM ADVANCES PANCREATIC CANCER DETECTION BY 2-3 YEARS]

The accompanying photo was that super handsome one of Jiang He!

Everyone froze for a second.

And then.

They went absolutely wild!

Chen Hao slammed his hand on the table. "We did it! We’ve gone public!!"

Cheng Xiyao covered her mouth, jumping up and down in excitement. She glanced around, saw that Tang Pei wasn’t there, so she grabbed Lin Yue and pulled her into a tight hug instead!

Lin Yue: "!!"

A guy who was gaming late into the night nearby took off his headset and frowned. "What’s all the noise?"

Lu Xiaolin, thrilled, leaned on the guy’s chair. "Sir! We did it! The Chinese team! We made a world-changing discovery!"

The guy was taken aback. "For real? That awesome?"

Lu Xiaolin: "Super awesome!!!!!"

The guy scratched his head. "I don’t really get it. Can you give me a specific example?"

Zhou Yang nailed the analogy: "The national soccer team made it to the World Cup."

The guy: "HOLY SHIT!!!!"

Soon, infected by their excitement, the entire internet cafe was buzzing.

Many people gathered around, asking, "What’s going on? What happened?"

Then Jiang He’s team members started explaining excitedly to everyone.

To everyone they met, they’d say it was world-changing, and to everyone they met, they’d use the World Cup analogy, eliciting a chorus of amazed reactions.

"That’s so awesome, so awesome."

"Hey, I know that Jiang He guy you’re talking about. He saved someone in an internet cafe before."

"Yeah, yeah, I was there too! I knew that dude was special back then!"

"What do you call it? The Ronaldo of the medical world, right? China has its own Ronaldo now!"

...

...

「Meanwhile, at Yang Xu’s home.」

Wang Xiaoqing, in her pajamas, was frowning as she scrolled endlessly on her phone.

Yang Xu poured a glass of water nearby, snickering to himself.

A moment later, Wang Xiaoqing cried out, "It’s out!"

Yang Xu quickly leaned in, feigning excitement while not forgetting to wrap an arm around Wang Xiaoqing’s shoulders. "What is it? What happened?"

At this point, Wang Xiaoqing couldn’t be bothered with such things. She turned and hugged Yang Xu, her face beaming with joy.

"It’s public! Our results!!!"

Yang Xu hugged Wang Xiaoqing tightly. "That’s great! You smell so good... uh, I mean, this result is so sweet..."

The news continued to spread like wildfire, quickly sweeping through the entire medical community in China.

At the Provincial Health Department.

Director Lin Zhenhua was speechless for a long moment.

The bold text on the briefing was particularly striking:

Chinese research team advances pancreatic cancer detection by 2-3 years.

"Good... excellent!"

Lin Zhenhua walked to the window and, with a series of WHOOSHES, went through a set of military combat exercises!

Spirited! And! Full! Of! Vigor!

Bringing! Glory! To! Our! Nation!

’This seals it. I’m really getting that promotion!’

’This is Jiang He for you! Do they not understand the value of Jiang He?!!’

Lin Zhenhua made a call. "Quick, contact the provincial TV station and all the major newspapers immediately! Push this story to the very top! The people of our nation must see what this Chinese research team has accomplished!"

Peking Union Medical College Hospital.

Professor Zhong Shouxian slowly took off his reading glasses and looked out the window, a light twinkling in his eyes.

"Two to three years earlier... The younger generation is truly formidable. Truly formidable."

"It seems the establishment of the national standard serum sample bank for pancreatic cancer cannot be delayed a moment longer."

Back in China, it was destined to be a sleepless night.

All the major social media platforms were being flooded with posts:

"Jiang He’s team did it!"

"Chinese research team advances pancreatic cancer detection by 2-3 years!"

The efficiency of the internet was on full display.

The news was going viral!

...

「The scene cuts back to Turner Centennial Hall.」

The applause gradually subsided, and the academic Q&A session began.

After all, the more groundbreaking the achievement, the more rigorous the academic scrutiny it would face.

In the front row, a European scholar was the first to raise his hand.

"Dr. Jiang, I still have doubts about your extraction process. The exosomes in peripheral blood are present in extremely small amounts. How do you ensure that the miRNA does not degrade during the double chloroform extraction?"

Jiang He answered with complete composure:

"After adding the chloroform and shaking vigorously, it must be left to stand in an ice-water bath for at least five minutes. Secondly, the centrifugation speed must be increased to 14,000 rpm and maintained at 4 degrees Celsius. When aspirating the upper aqueous phase, it is better to lose some of the liquid than to touch the intermediate protein layer at all."

The professor paused for a moment, then quickly jotted it down in his notebook, nodding repeatedly. "Thank you for your answer."
