After covering Lin Ci'an with the quilt and telling him to sleep a little longer, Chu Ziyu got up, walked through the bedroom door and headed for the kitchen. He began to prepare breakfast. It was not breakfast anymore because it was already brunch. Chu Ziyu wanted to use delicious food to make up for the intensity just now. He chose Lin Ci'an's favorite food, braised pork rice and fried egg toast. Chu Ziyu skillfully fried two perfect sunny-side-up eggs in the kitchen, with slightly crispy edges and a little fluidity in the yolk. The toast was baked just right, with a golden and crispy surface and soft inside. He also spread a layer of Lin Ci'an's favorite honey on the toast, placed the assembled toast on a plate, and drew a big heart with ketchup.

Then Chu Ziyu started to prepare the braised pork. He stewed the pork until it was soft, bright red, and fragrant. He also cooked a full pot of rice and put the braised pork on the rice, which was fragrant. Chu Ziyu also prepared a plate of stir-fried seasonal vegetables, including greens, carrots, and mushrooms.

Chu Ziyu would carefully adjust the taste when preparing these dishes to ensure that the taste of each dish was in line with Lin Ci'an's preferences. Chu Ziyu carefully brought the tray full of food back to the bedroom, placed it on the bedside table, and then gently woke up Lin Ci'an who was still sleeping.

Lin Ci'an opened his eyes and saw the toast in Chu Ziyu's hand. The braised pork was his favorite. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He pouted again when he saw the green vegetables next to him. Chu Ziyu looked at him and thought he was so cute. He said, "Don't be picky." Chu Ziyu sat on the bed and picked up the toast that he had cut into small pieces in advance with chopsticks and gently put it to Lin Ci'an's mouth.

"Open your mouth and try the toast I made." Chu Ziyu said softly.

Lin Ci'an smiled and opened his mouth, tasting the food Chu Ziyu prepared for him. "Ah, another piece of braised pork." Lin Ci'an also opened his mouth obediently, "Take another chopstick of small green vegetables." Lin Ci'an hesitated for a moment but still opened his mouth and ate it. Their eyes met, full of deep love. The sunlight shone on them through the window, adding a layer of soft glory to this warm picture.

Unlike Chu Ziyu and Lin Ci'an, who were enjoying a peaceful life, Fang Ming'an and Zhou Lingxi were busy. Although the knowledge of vaccine development had been transferred to their brains by their systems, there was still a long way to go from theory to practice.

The lights in Fang Mingan and Zhou Lingxi's laboratory have been on for the past few days. Facing rows of test tubes and instruments, they seem extremely busy. Their eyes are firm, and their hands are moving carefully and accurately. The process of vaccine development is complex and long, and every small variable may affect the final research results.

Although both of them have knowledge of system transmission, converting this theoretical knowledge into a vaccine that can be used clinically requires a lot of experimental verification and data analysis. They need to consider issues such as the safety, immunogenicity, stability of the vaccine and how to produce it on a large scale.

Fang Mingan was responsible for the design of the vaccine. He used advanced bioinformatics tools to design multiple candidate vaccine molecules based on the genetic information of the virus. He frowned and checked the data over and over again to confirm that the sequence of every amino acid was correct.

Zhou Lingxi was conducting cell culture. He carefully operated in front of the biosafety cabinet, introducing vaccine candidate molecules into the cultured cells one by one, monitoring their expression and cell response. His technique was steady, and every step was done in a disciplined manner to ensure the accuracy of the experiment.

The two of them work together in harmony, and even without saying much, they can communicate through eye contact and gestures. They both know that the importance of this work goes far beyond the individual, and it is related to the health and safety of countless people in the future.

The clock in the laboratory ticks, and time seems to have lost its meaning here. All the focus is on those tiny vaccine molecules. Every time the experimental results come out, their heartbeats speed up. Whether it is the joy of success or the frustration of failure, it is their motivation to move forward.

After completing a key experiment, Fang Mingan picked up the notebook next to him and said to Zhou Lingxi: "The results of this antigen stability test are very promising. If we add your cellular immune response data, we may be able to take a key step from theory to practice."

Zhou Lingxi nodded. He looked up from the microscope, his eyes revealing a tired but determined light: "Yes, I feel that we are not far from success."

As the vaccine development progressed, the challenges faced by Fang Mingan and Zhou Lingxi also increased. Their laboratory became the focus of the entire laboratory building, and resources and manpower were constantly tilted towards them to ensure that the research could continue to move forward. However, as is often the case in scientific research, new problems emerged.

When the research progress reached 80%, a key instrument broke down. This instrument is crucial for extracting the active ingredients in the vaccine, and its accuracy is directly related to the purity and efficacy of the vaccine. The damage to the instrument resulted in the extraction of vaccine ingredients of insufficient purity, which is a fatal blow to the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine. The production line of this instrument has been damaged and can no longer be produced. The existing method can only be repaired.

Although the laboratory has added more staff, it is not easy to find professional technicians to repair precision instruments. The development of the vaccine has temporarily stalled. The two realized that they could not rely on a single technical route. They decided to open up new ideas and explore other possible purification methods, or try to develop vaccine preparation methods that do not rely on highly purified processes.

First, they combed through all feasible alternative technologies, including traditional methods such as centrifugation, filtration, precipitation and crystallization, as well as the emerging microfluidic chip technology in recent years. Although these methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, they may all be the key to solving the problem.

In the following weeks, the laboratory became busy again. Fang Mingan and Zhou Lingxi led the team members to work together, trying to repair the damaged chromatographic instrument while testing various alternative purification methods. They even considered using the principles of bionics to imitate the molecular recognition and separation mechanisms in nature to design a new purification system.

In the process, they discovered a new centrifugal separation technology that can separate the desired vaccine components to a certain extent by adjusting the size and time of centrifugal force. Although the efficiency and purity of this method cannot be compared with previous instruments, it provides an imperfect but feasible solution.

The two were still researching day and night, but they didn't expect that Chu Ziyu, who had been on a mission in the past few weeks, brought them back an unexpected surprise.
