Aside from Chen Mo and Wu Bing's original team, more than thirty genomics and bioinformatics experts were divided into two groups, with each group responsible for testing one protein.
Once the assignments were made, the expert team began discussing how to complete the project and preparing the experimental theory. Everyone hoped to identify the genes for the two toxic proteins as quickly as possible.
The researchers all knew that Chen Mo had brought them here only to speed up the research. Finishing even a few days sooner could save many lives.
By the time Chen Mo and Wu Bing left the research institute, it was already eight in the evening, and they headed back to the dormitories.
"How long do you think the expert team's research will take this time?"
"It shouldn't take too long. Finding gene sequences isn't particularly difficult; it mainly requires repeated testing. With so many experts involved, we can shorten the timeline significantly."
Chen Mo said this because DNA testing technology was already highly developed. Finding a protein's gene sequence and structure was no difficult task. In genomics research, it could be considered a basic skill.
"Let's hope so. If this vaccine research succeeds, you'll be a hero, Hero Chen." Wu Bing teased.
"Hero my ass. I don't want to be any hero. I'm a businessman—I need to make money. Once the customized vaccine is developed, it'll revolutionize vaccine technology. A mountain of gold will be sitting right in front of me, and now I've got dozens of experts helping me speed up the technological breakthrough. They're practically free labor."
Seeing Chen Mo grin, Wu Bing was somewhat speechless.
"Using so many experts and academicians as free labor... I'm afraid you're the only businessman in the world bold enough to do that. If they found out,
