Feast

The epidemic is still spreading, and its rapid expansion has finally made people panic. After the closure of Rongcheng, entry and exit and flights have also begun to be restricted.

Masks are hard to find, and Shuanghuanglian oral liquid, which is said to have a special effect on the new chain epidemic, was also sold out at one time, and the supply exceeded demand.

"What do you think about the new type of chain pneumonia?" Bailang asked while driving.

"The initial understanding should be the same as the SARS in 03, a viral disease that ingested wild animals with multiple viruses and then transmitted to humans"

"Is there any better treatment plan?"

"At present, there is a lack of effective antiviral drugs against pathogens, and now the main treatment is isolation treatment and symptomatic and supportive treatment"

"Then there's nothing we can do?"

"The virus is very cunning, and it may not be that simple for us to completely eradicate it"

Bai Lang nodded, Li Changfeng wanted to say something else, when he suddenly saw a figure passing by outside the window, he hurriedly shouted, "Wait, stop!"

Bailang slammed on the brakes, and Li Changfeng almost missed the front windshield, he shouldn't have been allowed to drive just now.

"Are you okay?" Bailang worried.

"It's okay." Li Changfeng got out of the car.

I saw an old man squatting on the empty street. The night wind was blowing, and his eyebrows and beard were split. His dark skin was full of vicissitudes, and there were wilted cabbages, onions and garlic on the ground.

"Old man, why don't you go back so late?" Li Changfeng squatted down.

"I can't help it, because the dish has not been sold for a long time due to the epidemic, and if it is not sold, it will go bad."

"How much is your cabbage per catty?"

"1.5 a catty, if you want more, I'll sell it to you for 1 yuan per catty"

"Okay, I'll take it all, you can see how much I'll give you"

"I want it all?" The old man blinked, "There are so many, can you finish it?"

"Don't worry about whether I can eat or not, just pack it for me. It's not easy for everyone during the epidemic"

The old man's nose was sour instantly, "Yeah, it's not easy, my wife was diagnosed with pneumonia, and I don't know if I can come back"

His eyes were moist, and he picked up the weight and weighed it while sighing, "The cabbage is 35 catties in total, I will charge you 8 cents a catty, and you can give me 28 yuan, and I will treat the onion and garlic as a gift for you." "

Li Changfeng took the Chinese cabbage and took out a 100 yuan RMB from his wallet, "Don't look for the old man, let's go back early."

Before the old man had time to say anything, Li Changfeng had already turned around and left. From the rearview mirror of the car, Bai Lang could still see the old man bowing and thanking Li Changfeng's back.

"So much?!" Bailang looked at Li Changfeng returning with a large pile of cabbage, and said in surprise, "If I remember correctly, you probably hate eating cabbage the most."

"Um"

"Then you still buy so much? It's not because you feel sorry for the old man, so you bought them all?!"

"Doing a good deed every day can be regarded as accumulating some virtue for you."

Bailang: ...?

Because during the epidemic period, there were almost no crowd activities on the street, and there were very few vehicles, so Bailang came to the laboratory with the green light all the way.

"Go in and have a look, I have tailored a five-star scientific research laboratory for you, I hope you will be satisfied"

When the two came to the door, the security guard opened the way for them.

"The first floor is mainly for physical and chemical experiments. I have found all the top-level inspection equipment for you. The second floor is mainly for biological experiments. Everyone who enters it needs to be disinfected and isolated. In this regard, you should more experienced than me”

Li Changfeng nodded, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Bai Lang smiled and said, "Isn't it Professor Li, you're still so polite after you've slept in?"

Li Changfeng glanced at the terrified security guard and ignored him, but Bailang laughed even more wantonly, "Before I go to check the equipment, I'll take you to meet some people first."

Li Changfeng followed him to a conference room, the door was automatically opened and closed with face recognition, and his arrogant appearance was just like his master Bailang.The conference room is spacious and bright, and several "Internet addicts" are sitting in front of the conference table.

The reason why they are Internet addicted teenagers is because they kept their heads down and played with the computer from the moment Bailang came in, without raising their eyelids.

After hearing three "pops, pops", Bailang clapped his hands, and the four "Internet addicts" raised their heads slowly. Seeing that it was Bailang, they lowered their heads again and continued to play with the computer.

"Ahem!" Bailang coughed, "Everyone stop what you're doing first, and I'll introduce you to your new leader, Li Changfeng."

When they heard the word "Li Changfeng", the four raised their heads one after another.

"Li Changfeng?" A tall and thin boy who looked to be in his early twenties wondered, "That Li Changfeng who is known as the father of cellular immunity and microbes in modern medicine?!"

"Li Changfeng, the youngest recipient of the Turing Award in Medicine?" asked a young-looking boy with a beard.

"Li Changfeng, the only Asian doctoral student of Doctor Strange?"

"Li Changfeng, the only immunology expert who was written in the textbook and is still alive?"

Li Changfeng: ... "Uh, that's right, it's me"

"It seems that you guys know him better than I do." Bailang folded his arms around his chest, sitting and watching the show.

However, no one paid any attention to him, instead they rushed up and surrounded Li Changfeng.

"Professor Li, Professor Li, I have a topic about cellular immunity and genetic recombination and I would like to ask you..."

"Hey, go away, I came first..."

"Don't push me, I asked first"

"Go away you two, obviously I came first"

"Professor Li, please sign for me."

Li Changfeng: ...

Bailang: ...

"Everyone be quiet," Bailang yelled again, but no one ignored him.

"Don't forget that I hired you all with money." As soon as Bai Lang finished speaking, the meeting room fell silent.

The scene was very embarrassing

"Cough, let me say a few words." Li Changfeng said seriously, "Although this is the first time I meet you, I have heard about your contributions to medicine and the fruits of your labor."

"If I remember correctly, you are Cao Yuan, who is known as the genius boy." Li Changfeng said to the tall and thin boy who just wanted to sign, "The youngest medical researcher in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, I have seen you write The thesis has its own thoughts and insights, and the future can be expected.”

The young man was full of vigor, and nodded with a smile.

"This should be Ke Haihang, the top respiratory expert in China right now," Li Changfeng said, pointing at the young man with a bearded face.

The bearded man nodded, "You can call me Ake, but everyone around me who knows me well calls me Dahai."

Everyone laughed, and Li Changfeng pointed to a person who seemed to be the same age as him and said, "This is probably Gao Tianye, the closed disciple of Huang Lao, an infectious disease expert."

Gao Tianye nodded, he didn't seem to talk much

"The last person should be Yi Xin, a well-known genetic recombination researcher who used to be the movable type signboard of the Shanghai No. [-] Academy. We met at the Toronto Academic Exchange Conference."

Yi Xin nodded, "Professor Li really has a good memory."

"As for me, I won't introduce much, I believe everyone has already heard about it"

Everyone nodded, and Li Changfeng continued, "It's a great honor to be able to work with everyone here. The establishment of the Experimental Research Institute has always been a wish of mine. I didn't expect it to be established today with the help of Mr. Bai."

There was warm applause, and Li Changfeng could clearly feel everyone's respect and support

"I don't know what everyone's original intention is, but I have only one original intention, that is, to put people first, to cure diseases and save lives; I hope that our research is based on human relations, to create something that is beneficial to this society, and to truly promote social development and the progress of the times. instead of plagiarizing and satisfying one's own selfishness in the name of scientific research"

"Well said," Bailang clapped his hands, "What he said is exactly what I want to say, but since I am a businessman, I won't do business at a loss. I spent a lot of money to poach you from various institutions. You came to promote the national spirit, I need to see your results"

"You might as well just say it if you have any thoughts and requests," Cao Yuan said, and the others followed suit.

"The current medical market is 50.00% foreign market, 40.00% is ethnic medicine, and there are [-]% scattered private enterprises. I need to make a big head of this [-]% and create my own medical brand to gain a bigger market”

"Be specific," Li Changfeng reminded.

"Ruikang Hospital in Rongcheng is a profit-oriented private hospital founded by my father and his friends, but for me, profit is only secondary. What I want to do is to make Ruikang a brand, a belief , a kind of authority, and you, will become the main core researchers of this project"

Everyone was relieved, "Then where should we start?" the boy continued to ask.

"Let's practice from this new chain epidemic"

"What do you mean?" Gao Tianye asked puzzled.

"Develop effective and specific drugs to completely eliminate the new chain virus and defeat the new chain epidemic"

"I'm afraid it's not that simple," Ke Hai said, "the SARS in 03 has not yet developed an effective targeted drug, and the victory over SARS is only based on conventional methods such as controlling the source of infection, protecting susceptible people and cutting off the transmission route. , it may be difficult to develop specific drugs.”

"If it's that simple, what would I want you to do? I didn't gather you "elites" together to brag and fool around"

Everyone is a little discouraged

"Maybe we can start with vaccines," Li Changfeng said.

"That's right! Since there is no way to develop specific drugs, we can start with antibodies!" The boy laughed.

"It's just that it will take a lot of time from vaccine development to clinical application, and I don't know what the epidemic will be like by then," Yi Xin said.

"It doesn't matter, at least now we have a direction," Li Changfeng said, "Xiao Cao, you are responsible for collecting all the latest developments about the new chain, including medical imaging and temporary treatment plans, we will use them."

"Ok"

"Dai Da and Yi Xin are responsible for the research of targeted drugs, don't give up on the research direction of specific drugs, as long as there is a little breakthrough, it will be a huge advancement in medicine"

The two nodded, "Yes"

"Gao Amano and I are in charge of research on antigens and antibodies." Gao Amano gave an OK gesture, "But everyone should understand that this is just a general direction. Any direction, as long as you have ideas, you can propose it and we will discuss it together." Feasibility before making the final decision”

"Okay" the four said in unison.

"Is there anything Boss Bai needs to add?" Li Changfeng asked.

"Not for the time being, but I want to remind you that there are two principles that you need to follow when working in a research institute. One is the principle of absolute confidentiality, and the other is the principle of innovation that what others have and what others have, I hope everyone Keep it in mind, you must know that the consequences of violating the spirit of the contract are very serious.”

The four nodded. In fact, they all understood that they had been informed when they signed the contract.

"Then let's come here first today and disband."

After Bailang gave an order, several people surrounded Li Changfeng again.

"Professor Li, I have a topic about epidemiological research, can you take a look for me..."

"Professor Li, I have a privately operated company, do you want to consider buying shares..."

"Professor Li, please sign for me..."

Li Changfeng: ...

Bailang: ...
