Chapter 674: Chapter 340 Is Lin Beichen a Fool?_2
Whether it is his influence on society or his own research achievements and contributions, he can actually be promoted to professor.
It’s just that because he has too little experience, he has been held back by the school. But everyone knows that as long as Wen Zhengping focuses on his research, he will definitely become one of Huadu University’s most promising professors before the age of 40.
"In the field of medicine and life sciences, whether we research the past or the future, we cannot escape molecular genetics. To put it simply, we need to understand how we came to be and how we are composed."
"The human body is very intricate, but the extent of evolution varies greatly. Some tissues evolved very primitively, while others are highly sophisticated.
Our task is to study the secrets within, develop drugs to solve genetic defects, promote human evolution, and even break genetic limits."
The young man spoke loudly.
"Professor Lin, but your theory mentions the concept of Life Energy.
The concept of Life Energy was proposed hundreds of years ago, but the theory is too broad and difficult to refine for further research. We don’t even fully understand what genes are yet, so how can we research so-called Life Energy?"
"Professor Lin, our research funding is very limited. Every investment, even if it does not yield immediate results, must be backed by solid concepts and theories, not a repetition of outdated theories from hundreds of years ago.
Your theory is what we in the academic circle call a half-baked idea, also known as a scam for funding."
At this point, Wen Zhengping slowly sat down, but thunderous applause echoed around.
Many people did not understand what Lin Beichen’s class was about, so even though they listened to half of it, they were still confused.
It wasn’t until Wen Zhengping explained that they realized what Lin Beichen was talking about was just outdated theory.
"I thought this guy was presenting something groundbreaking, but it turned out to be old theory. His academic level seems unimpressive."
"Frontier research in life medicine sounds impressive, but in essence, isn’t it just like dragon slaying? It’s something unverifiable, so they can claim whatever they want and still use the school’s research funds. Does this guy really have any results?"
"Don’t be so harsh. Professor Lin was specially invited by Huadu University! If he’s a fraud, wouldn’t that make the school a bunch of fools?"
The discussions around were heated, with the vast majority questioning Lin Beichen, though a few still believed in him.
No one had really seen Lin Beichen’s academic achievements, but people are often swayed by looks; many instinctively believed him just because of his appearance.
Especially the girls who attended the elective course solely because of Lin Beichen’s looks.
This drove the men present almost insane, making them see Lin Beichen as an enemy.
"Research is either useful or not, why label it as outdated?"
Lin Beichen looked calmly at Wen Zhengping, showing no emotion on his face.
"Professor Lin, calling it outdated is putting it politely. In fact, these theories are even deceptive, misleading the public!
Just like a hundred years ago, even the most elite scientists believed there was a force within the human body that could perform miracles, even control natural thunder!
But such research was simply because they were too ignorant! Science is constantly evolving; some theories valid now may be seen as simplistic stubbornness in the future."
Wen Zhengping looked coldly at Lin Beichen and said:
"If you cannot understand this, then I not only question your academic abilities but also your personal integrity. You’re unfit to research the frontier of medical science!"
The crowd burst into an uproar upon hearing this.
Wen Zhengping’s words went beyond attacking Lin Beichen’s academic abilities; he was questioning his character.
But the audience didn’t find it excessive.
They were all top students at Huadu University, elite after rigorous selection. Once they graduate, they’ll become society’s elite, naturally unwilling to be deceived.
Many stared at Lin Beichen with suspicion in their eyes.
He was indeed handsome, but beyond his looks, he seemed to lack substance.
A person who is all surface and no substance is truly disappointing.
Standing by the assistant’s desk on stage, Ruan Yunyun’s expression was extremely awkward.
Due to Lin Beichen’s special status, she hadn’t pushed him to submit the course syllabus. What Lin Beichen was teaching was also new to her.
How could these things be presented so publicly in class? Isn’t this embarrassing?
"I knew it, this guy must have gotten in through connections."
An old professor stroked his beard with a smug look.
"This guy is using outdated theories from over a hundred years ago for his research and even presenting them in class so openly. Does he really take everyone for fools?"
Another professor said coldly.
Song Weiliang stood at the back, his brows tightly furrowed.
He hadn’t planned to speak at this lecture. He thought that since Lin Beichen was chosen as a key professor, he must be different, and decided to observe first.
In the end, after listening to half the lecture, he found it was filled with useless and outdated theories.
This guy was just wasting his time.
"You call me a fraud, but what if I can provide results to prove my theory, will it no longer be outdated?"
Lin Beichen said calmly.
"Results?"
Lin Beichen’s words almost made Wen Zhengping laugh in anger.
"Professor Lin, do you know what you’re saying? If your theory can be proven, it’s not just confirming a theory; it would directly herald a new era for humanity!
Current medical and life sciences research can only strengthen itself externally, while our biological evolution ability has nearly stopped!
If you can prove there is another energy within us that can evolve our body into superhumans or control natural thunder, it would be like bringing movies into reality."
"Professor Lin, some words shouldn’t be spoken recklessly. If you say them, people will not only question your abilities but also whether you have any brains!"
Wen Zhengping said coldly and aggressively.
"May I ask, who allowed you to join Huadu University? On what basis was Huadu University persuaded to appoint you as a key professor? Can you disclose that?"
As he spoke, Wen Zhengping turned on the action camera on his chest to record the scene.
If Lin Beichen couldn’t provide evidence, just his words today, once posted online, would surely cause a huge stir.
At that time, Lin Beichen would not only be questioned for academic fraud, but Huadu University would also become a laughingstock in the entire domestic academic world.
Everyone was watching Lin Beichen, waiting to see how he would respond.
Ruan Yunyun unconsciously clenched her fists, feeling extremely nervous inside.
She dearly hoped Lin Beichen could produce evidence, but her academic experience told her that Wen Zhengping was right.
If what Lin Beichen said was true, it would mean telling the world that their current life science research is all heading in the wrong direction, and not just that.
The things in comics, novels, and superpower movies are regarded as entertainment because people know they are merely human fantasies.
If superpowers really existed, the fundamental logic that maintains the world would be shaken, and the rules of the world rewritten.
Everyone was waiting for Lin Beichen to make a fool of himself.
But many female students secretly hoped Lin Beichen could prove them wrong.
"You’ve figured it out. I haven’t studied formal frontier medical theories."
Lin Beichen said calmly.
The crowd was in an uproar at his words.
Song Weiliang’s face turned incredibly grim, and he turned and left.
This guy really is a waste of time!
