"Teacher, I'll borrow all of these!" Liu Menglin placed a huge box on the library table. In the early 1980s, there was no Internet search. To access research-related materials, you had to borrow them from the library. This is also an important reason why domestic scientific research has always been difficult.
Before the reform and opening up, the academic circles in China had very little contact with the outside world. Foreign journal documents had to be checked at various levels when they were sent in. When they arrived in the hands of the recipients, the timeliness was over. Therefore, Li Zheng admires the scientific research workers of this era very much. They hardly need any external force to explore step by step in the dark night. much more.
The library teacher looked at the almost half-height box in surprise and pushed his glasses, "All of these... all?"
Liu Menglin nodded, "Teacher, please register quickly, I will rush things to the laboratory."
The library teacher suddenly said, "Got it. Which professor did you run errands for again? Ammisatine? Haven't heard of any professor who started a project on this?"
Liu Menglin smiled and did not answer.
The librarian moved quickly, and within ten minutes, a large box of materials was registered.
When Liu Menglin was carrying the box and went out, he also met a few classmates. Graduate students majoring in biopharmaceuticals all followed their tutors into the laboratory. Seeing how Liu Menglin was moving materials from the library, he knew Xu Mingsheng's The laboratory opened a new project, and could not help but inquire, Liu Menglin did not answer, only said that the laboratory was waiting for information, and left in a hurry.
Zhang Yuejun's side is not so smooth. The laboratory of Heung Kong Medical College focuses more on theoretical research than practical. Their laboratory likes to do bacterial analysis, virus analysis, and study the source of infection, transmission route, and pathogenic process of a certain disease. Other laboratories research corresponding drugs to provide theoretical support.
For example, the birth of a product requires market research, material selection, style design, etc. to enter the production line, and most of the laboratories of Heung Kong Medical College do market research. Their theories point the way for drug production, but it's a little harder to actually get them to do it.
After all, the capital cost of developing a drug is simply too great for a university lab to afford.
It was the first time for Zhang Yuejun to make medicines. After using a few tubes of reagents, his sweat came out.
Li Zheng wore goggles and carefully observed the drug reaction. When he caught a glimpse of Zhang Yuejun's obviously nervous expression, he exhaled and took off his mask and goggles.
"Senior, don't be nervous. The first time you do medicine, you will be a little overwhelmed, and that's how I came here." He didn't take off the rubber gloves on his hands, but put another on them and picked up two a glass tube to start the demonstration.
Zhang Yuejun opened his mouth slightly and looked at Li Zheng with a dull gaze. He could almost be called a fluent figure. Is this an experiment? This is simply art!
Zhang Yuejun suddenly had a hunch in his heart, maybe... Maybe, this little guy in front of him can really develop a drug for freezing blood in five days.
"Scholars, there are actually some tricks in the preparation of pharmaceutical preparations, such as reagent exchange, such as the mixing of suspensions, which can be explored slowly. Don't worry about wasting reagents, these are all my own expenses, and there is no financial limit." Li Zheng entered the laboratory at the age of twenty in his last life, and died suddenly at the age of thirty-two.
For 12 years, his experimental methods could almost be his own.
Zhang Yuejun was convinced, he felt that Li Zheng's whole body seemed to glow when he was experimenting. Among the biopharmaceutical majors of Hong Kong University, there are only a few professors who can independently preside over the project with this kind of experimental method that has formed their own distinctive characteristics. And this kind of private techniques, they usually only teach them to their confidant disciples, Zhang Yuejun is not qualified to learn.
Zhang Yuejun was very excited by Li Zheng's unconcealed teaching, and if he could learn this experimental technique, even if he didn't have a second work, and he didn't have a salary of ten yuan an hour, it would still be worth the ticket price!
Li Zheng had only heard about the drugs for freezing blood in his last life. The UN Women and Children's Fund did a lot of work to make the drug for cryoemia available in the late 1990s. He vaguely remembered which document he had seen the drug formula on, but because it had been so long, his memory was a little fuzzy.
Li Zheng listed all the possible ingredients on the white paper, and the white paper covered the entire tabletop, trying to cross out one by one. The library-related materials are also thrown on the ground at will, so it is not messy.
In his last life, he graduated from Stanford and entered Cold Spring Harbor. The smooth sailing experience made him a little arrogant. After returning to China to switch to the field of biopharmaceuticals, Li Zheng went straight to cancer, the largest human disease. But this experience made him think about the way he will go in the future. Maybe Li Zheng's laboratory should pay more attention to this special disease drug in the future...
On the night of Christmas on the 25th, the lights in Xu Mingsheng's laboratory were on all night.
As soon as Li Zheng entered the laboratory, he no longer had the slightest sense of time. Zhang Yuejun was so excited that he naturally couldn't take a rest. Liu Menglin wanted to rest, but seeing that neither Li Zheng nor his senior brother wanted to go back, he had to sort out the information obediently.
So, when Xu Mingsheng came to the laboratory the next day, he saw such a scene. Li Zheng's workbench was full of white paper and waste paper. Like a tireless machine, he crossed out the experiment and continued the experiment. Zhang Yuejun has two heavy dark circles under his eyes, but his experimental techniques are indeed becoming more and more proficient. Liu Menglin listened to Li Zheng's command, and kept finding out what Li Zheng wanted from the information on the floor and handing it over.
Xu Mingsheng picked up Zhang Yuejun's experimental flow chart and looked at it, and couldn't help being stunned.
"Li Zheng, are you trying to study a drug for freezing blood?" When Li Zheng called yesterday to borrow the laboratory and two people, Xu Mingsheng just thought he wanted to do a small experiment without thinking about it. Agreed.
It's just that when I go to work today, many colleagues come to his office to inquire about what projects his laboratory is going to open and where the funds will come from.
Xu Mingsheng was at a loss. It was already December. The funding for scientific research projects in 1982 had already been used up, and new funding had not yet been approved. What kind of projects could he open!
Those professors still didn't believe it, and said with certainty that Liu Menglin moved a whole box of materials to the laboratory.
Liu Menglin? Xu Mingsheng's heart skipped a beat, and he thought of Li Zheng, no, this is what he saw when he came over in the morning.
"Teacher, you wait. Zhang Yuejun, adjust the ratio, 20, 70" Li Zheng continued the movements in his hands without raising his head.
Zhang Yuejun responded and picked up two tubes of reagents to start reconfiguring.
Xu Mingsheng was helpless and called himself a teacher. What could he do? Although I felt that Li Zheng, a student, was a little carried away by the success of the drug catalyst, is this catalyst the same thing as a new drug? It is one thing to overestimate his own ability, but he is positive about the starting point of Li Zheng's experiment.
"Oh, your speed. I'll come." He took off his jacket, put on a lab coat, and put on rubber gloves. He grabbed Zhang Yuejun's job and actually beat Li Zheng himself. .
This is true scholarly style. No matter what era there are such people, they know that the essence of knowledge inheritance and research is for the benefit of mankind.
Zhang Yuejun was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head and smirked, quickly picked up the other two tubes of reagents, and followed Professor Xu's actions.
Li Zheng crossed out one of the elements again, looked up at Xu Mingsheng, and said jokingly: "Teacher, you can help me personally, should the paper be divided into two works for you?"
Xu Mingsheng glanced at Li Zheng, "I, Xu Mingsheng, haven't published a second work for more than ten years. If your thesis really comes out, I don't want it, and this second work will also be decided!"
The two laughed.
Xu Mingsheng is worthy of being immersed in the laboratory for decades, and his experimental methods are more sophisticated than Li Zheng. With his participation, the experimental process has been doubled.
For the next four days, all four of them spent in the laboratory, except for Xu Mingsheng, because of his age, his physical strength could not keep up. After squinting in the laboratory, the three young people worked almost all day and night. And getting more and more excited!
Because they see hope, a new drug may be born in their hands.
On the fourth day, batches of guinea pigeons came in and batches went out.
"Do we have to go to hell if we die? In this business, in just one day, I don't know how many lives I have in my hands." The dove's breathing hole.
Li Zheng chuckled lightly. The experimental animals that died in his hands in the past life are no longer counted. A single drug test will require dozens or even hundreds of mice to compare. If he was naive, he would not be standing here today. .
"You can be vegetarian and eat less chicken, duck, and fish on weekdays. It's probably worth a drug test." Li Zheng said with a smile.
Liu Menglin paused and touched his nose, "Forget it."
Li Zheng looked at the batch of mice being taken out, and suddenly said, "For the sake of mankind."
Everyone in the laboratory paused, with a bit of solemnity on their faces.
Yes, for humans!
In the early morning of the 30th, Xu Mingsheng looked at Li Zheng almost in amazement. Even with vague memories of past lives, five days is still not enough for the world to witness the birth of a new drug.
But Xu Mingsheng can say without exaggeration that after the past few days, the drug molecules of the new drug for freezing blood have appeared vaguely in front of everyone. According to this progress, it will only take one year, maybe half a year, the new drug for freezing blood will be available. will be available.
Even if there are factors that can be used as a reference for the ingredients of amisatin, this speed is still a miracle.
Li Zheng silently glanced at the countless drug molecules with lines on the white paper, and sighed. If he didn't have the vague memory of his previous life, he would need more than half a year to get to the animal by simply relying on the drug composition of amoxidine. In the experimental stage, although this is a very fast speed compared to the current drug laboratory, he is still not satisfied.
Is he too greedy? Li Zheng smiled bitterly. A person's life is only a few decades. He hopes that he will be as productive as possible so that he can live up to his rebirth.
"The plane at eleven o'clock in the morning, we have to leave. Meng Lin, the laboratory will remain unchanged, we will come back and continue to do animal experiments!" Xu Mingsheng was all excited with the excitement that a new drug was about to be born in his hands. .
Liu Menglin responded loudly, and at the same time secretly glanced at Li Zheng.
Li Zheng laughed dumbly, "I wrote the thesis on the plane, and the second work will not be without you."
Liu Menglin and Zhang Yuejun laughed "hehehe".
Because the Asian Biopharmaceutical Conference was to be held for three days, the three of them hurried back to organize their clothes. On the way, Xu Mingsheng suddenly coughed dryly and said solemnly: "The second work, I will not hang up. But the signing of your paper..."
Li Zheng looked at Xu Mingsheng, whose eyes were erratic, and said with a chuckle, "Teacher, I did this experiment in your office, and there will naturally be the words Heung Kong University Medical Laboratory in the signature."
Xu Mingsheng's eyes snapped, "It's the No. 1 Medical Laboratory of Hong Kong University!" He didn't want Li Zheng to write two less words and let his old buddies get dazzled.
Li Zheng was dumbfounded, "Okay, teacher."
When the three hurried to the airport, Professor Wang, Professor Zhao, and female graduate student Yang Ning were already waiting. Professor Wang and Professor Zhao looked suspiciously at the three people with dark circles under their eyes.
"What have you been doing these days? Lao Xu, you are almost fifty, you are no longer a young man, so take it easy." Professor Wang smiled.
Xu Mingsheng laughed twice, but didn't answer. When the paper came out, he scared the two old boys to death!
Professor Wang and Professor Zhao looked at each other and saw the doubts in each other's eyes. This old Xu was wrong. He usually said that he was old, and he could ridicule you for a long time. Today, he is so calm.
But they didn't think much about it, but in four or five days, what big things could happen, and in the same school, what big things could happen to them
A group of six got on the plane.
"Yang Ning, change positions with Li Zheng." Xu Mingsheng said suddenly when he reached the seat.
There are six seats in a row.
"Oh good." Yang Ning agreed without thinking, and changed positions with Li Zheng with a smile.
"Old Zhao, I'll change with you too." Unable to say, Xu Mingsheng sat down in the middle of the first row.
Professor Wang and Professor Zhao looked at each other, and the two exchanged glances. This old Xutou must have a secret! And this secret is also related to Li Zheng!
Li Zheng touched his nose. Of course, he understood what Professor Xu meant. He was sitting by the window, and Xu Mingsheng was on the other side, which was convenient for him to write his thesis.
When the plane landed smoothly at Tokyo Airport, Li Zheng successfully completed the first draft of the thesis.
The six people laughing and talking and pulling their suitcases out of the airport. Suddenly Li Zheng's movements stopped, and his eyes were attracted by a group of people outside Tokyo Airport.
They were dressed in slightly old-fashioned black suits, and their hair was neatly shaved with mousse.
A trace of complexity flashed in Li Zheng's eyes, and he recognized that the man in his early thirties with black-rimmed glasses was the Huaqing University professor who persuaded him to return to China in his previous life, Chen Anbang. In other words, these people are Chinese scholars who came to attend the Asian Biopharmaceutical Conference.
Chen Anbang once mentioned that he started his career in the biopharmaceutical field in the 1970s, when the biopharmaceutical environment in China was very bad. Unlike physical chemistry, because it can be transformed into military power, it has national attention and financial tilt. In his era, it was extremely difficult to find a complete drug production line in China.
So at that time, biopharmaceutical scholars changed careers one after another, and very few were able to persevere. He once said that the biggest obsession of the peers in that era was to introduce a complete drug production line.
"Li Zheng, what are you looking at?" Professor Zhao asked.
Li Zheng turned his head and smiled, "It's nothing."
Since Li Hongzhang signed the Treaty of Nanjing in 1842, Xiangjiang has been under the rule of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. This generation of people from Xiangjiang has been educated by the British from birth to the present. Their feelings about China are probably very complicated.
The six people took a taxi and arrived at the hotel smoothly. The conference will be officially held at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and they have a whole evening of free activities.
As soon as Li Zheng arrived at the hotel room, he slept in the dark and slumbered for five days and four nights. No matter how young his body was, he still had a feeling that he couldn't bear it.
When he woke up again, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening, and there was a small note left by Xu Mingsheng and the others in the crack of the door.
Said that they knocked on Li Zheng's door after five o'clock, but there was no response, so they went out to eat first.
Japan in the 1980s was at the peak of its economy. Japan created nearly half of the GDP of the United States with a third of the population of the United States. At the same time, in the early 1980s, Sino-Japanese relations were in the honeymoon period. In 1980, a survey by the Japanese government showed that the Japanese people's closeness to China reached an all-time high of 72.7%, surpassing the United States for the first time.
At seven or eight o'clock, the nightlife in Japan has just begun.
Li Zheng felt his stomach, he was a little hungry.
After leaving the hotel, he took a taxi to Ginza. Li Zheng had been to Japan many times in his past life, and he was very familiar with some of the old shops here.
He remembered that there was a very delicious eel rice on the corner not far from Ginza.
He just didn't expect that he would meet an acquaintance again before he could eat the eel rice.
Chen Anbang and several of his colleagues walked out of the department store not far from Ginza with a big bag and a smile on their faces. Yes, one of the great advantages of going abroad for a meeting at this time is that you can approve a lot of foreign exchange and buy some practical small electrical appliances from abroad.
The Chinese people's desire to buy, like their learning ability, is engraved in the bones and blood of Chinese children.
"Xiao Chen, don't be sad, there is still a chance next time." A slightly older scholar patted Chen Anbang on the shoulder and said.
"Yeah, there's a chance next time." Although Chen Anbang said so, it was hard to hide the misunderstanding on his face. After all, in the 1980s, it was not easy to go abroad once!
Li Zheng hesitated for a while, but went forward.
"Hello, do you need help?" He spoke in standard Beijing dialect.
When a Chinese scholar is in a foreign country, he suddenly hears the Beijing dialect, and a sense of intimacy arises spontaneously. When he turns his head and sees Li Zheng, Professor Meng asks hesitantly, "Are you from China?"
Li Zheng nodded, "I'm from Shenzhen City, Haidong Province. My grandfather is from Beijing, so he can speak a little Beijing dialect."
A group of professors laughed when they heard the words. It was really a joy to meet an old friend in a foreign land, even if this old man looked a little younger.
"Hahaha, from Haidong Province? My hometown is also from Haidong Province, Guangzhou, so I'm a fellow!" Professor Meng said with a smile.
Li Zheng smiled, and he repeated again: "Do you need help? Maybe I can help." He felt that he might be able to help Huaguo introduce a complete and advanced drug production line earlier.
Several professors and scholars naturally didn't think Li Zheng, a young man, could be of any help. Professor Meng said casually, "Xiao Chen, I want a tape recorder for his wife to learn English, but there is not enough foreign exchange."
Li Zheng was stunned, foreign exchange? Yes, at that time, foreign exchange going abroad was allocated on a per capita basis.
Li Zheng looked around and saw a flag with the Japanese currency symbol on the bungalow not far from the department store.
"I might be able to help." Li Zheng said with a smile.
Under the amazed eyes of the professors, he led them to the bungalow with the flag hanging.
"Hey, aren't we meeting a liar?" a scholar said softly.
"No, how many children do we have all over our body? We have already spent all of them. And that little young man is very talkative, we can't doubt our compatriots."
A professor with doubts followed Li Zheng to the door of the bungalow.
