After being fired, I became the light of medicine

Chapter 195 Antiviral Injection? !

After he finished speaking, Zhang Yang did not answer directly and continued to remain silent.

In fact, after isolating the "T14-specific protein" from the "pneumonia virus", he has been thinking about this matter for the past two days.

First of all, to completely eliminate the pneumonia virus...

is impossible!
The pneumonia virus has been discovered for decades, and it is unknown how many years it has coexisted with humans before that. Not to mention the capabilities of Qingshan Pharmaceutical, even with the strength of the entire country it would be impossible to completely eradicate it.

Since it cannot be eliminated, the only thing we can do is report it to the country in a timely manner.

but……

In the office, Zhang Yang suddenly stood up from his chair, frowned, pursed his lips, and slowly walked to the office window.

He looked out the window and saw an employee wearing Qingshan Pharmaceutical work clothes walking hurriedly towards the laboratory building with a stack of information not far away.

It can be seen that although the action was hurried, it was orderly.

Looking further ahead,

There were cars coming and going on the street a few dozen meters away. Next to the red traffic light at an intersection, a counselor who was reminding pedestrians to cross the road was standing with another road cleaning lady and seemed to be chatting about something.

Vaguely, Zhang Yang seemed to see bright smiles on the two people's faces after their conversation.

Looking away, Zhang Yang suddenly sighed slightly.

"Brother Ren, sometimes it's better for people to be confused!"

“Knowing the truth is too tiring!”

Ren Xiaomin was slightly stunned. He could understand Zhang Yang's mood at the moment.

Immediately he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said:
"Zhang Yang, to be honest, I wish you hadn't told me this!"

"To be honest, I have to wear a mask wherever I go now. I'm always worried that I might get infected with pneumonia..."

“This fear is just too much.”

Zhang Yang nodded, turned around, and said seriously:

"So, Brother Ren, have you ever thought about this? If we report it directly to the relevant department..."

“The competent department for this matter is the CDC. Although we at Qingshan Pharmaceutical can report directly to the CDC headquarters without going through the municipal level, do you believe it?

As long as I really report this matter, within 24 hours, at least 20 people will know about it! "

Ren Xiaomin nodded. He had already guessed what Zhang Yang wanted to say.

Zhang Yang continued:
"Well, even if the leaders of the competent departments are tight-lipped, once they know about this, they will definitely organize experts and professors in 'virology' and 'pneumonia virus disciplines' to conduct verification and start isolating the 'T14-specific protein', right?"

"Correct!"

Ren Xiaomin nodded.

"This verification involves at least 5-10 expert professors, plus at least 20 technicians. The news can't be hidden at this step!"

"Who doesn't have relatives, friends, parents, and children? Once one person leaks it, the news will spread quickly!"

"It can't be hidden!"

Ren Xiaomin pursed his lips and nodded heavily again.

Humans are not saints. Who is without emotions and desires, or without people to care about?
Even after Zhang Yang told himself this secret, although he forced himself not to tell his wife and children the truth, he also secretly reminded his wife and children not to go to crowded places and to wear masks when going out.

If this is the case for me, what about others?
Thinking of this, he sighed slightly, took over Zhang Yang's words, and sighed:
"So, if we plan to report this to the relevant authorities, we must be prepared for the news to be leaked!"

"It is very likely that this matter will spread among the people in ten days or half a month, and then people will be in a state of panic and even panic!"

In the end, Ren Xiaomin himself fell silent, fully aware of the serious consequences!

This was definitely not the result he and Zhang Yang wanted to see.

After being silent for two minutes, he suddenly sighed heavily again and said:

"Zhang Yang, if this is the result, I think it would be better not to report it and just pretend that we know nothing!"

“To be honest, we have discovered the problem but don’t have a solution.

If the news really leaks out and causes a nationwide panic, I'm afraid the leaders of the relevant departments will blame us for meddling in other people's affairs. It would be better to let the people live in confusion as they do now!"

"Although the pneumonia virus can cause lung adenocarcinoma, not everyone will be infected with the pneumonia virus, and it is not 100% certain that everyone will develop lung adenocarcinoma after being infected!"

"In short, it's better to live in confusion!"

Zhang Yang couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Brother Ren, your statement is indeed too 'insincere', but the truth is often as sharp as a knife!"

"If we report the news at this time, it will indeed cause trouble for the relevant departments and may really make people dislike us!"

Having said that, Zhang Yang sat on the sofa.

Seeing this, Ren Xiaomin personally rinsed the teacup for Zhang Yang and filled it with tea.

After moistening his throat, Zhang Yang's expression became serious and earnest. He looked at Ren Xiaomin and continued:
"But, we can pretend that we didn't find anything, but the fact is already here, and the ironclad fact that 'T14 pneumonia virus' can induce 'lung adenocarcinoma' has been confirmed. We can't just do nothing, right?"

"and!"

"'T14 pneumonia virus' already exists in large quantities. Looking back over the past three years, the incidence of 'lung adenocarcinoma' has increased by 10%! What about the future? How much will it increase in the future?!"

"I don't believe this matter can be kept secret forever. In 3-5 years at most, someone will discover this, and the secret of 'T14 protein' will be made public!"

“Rather than being caught off guard three or five years later, we might as well start thinking of ways to solve this problem now!”

"What do you think? Brother Ren!"

Ren Xiaomin has completely understood Zhang Yang's thoughts!
Although it is a thankless task, Zhang Yang still wants to take care of this matter!

"Hey!"

He sighed in his heart and then looked at Zhang Yang.

To be honest, this is actually a thankless task, but he also knows that if Zhang Yang really stands by and pretends to know nothing, then he is not the Zhang Yang he knows!
"Okay, Zhang Yang, since it's unrealistic to eliminate the 'pneumonia virus', reporting it to the country at this time will do more harm than good, so what are you going to do?"

"Any good ideas?"

When it comes to business, Zhang Yang's expression becomes more serious.

But the next second, he suddenly shook his head:

“There are no good ideas!”

"The only thing I can think of now is to develop a vaccine against 'pneumonia virus' or 'T14 specific protein'!"

"vaccine?!"

Ren Xiaomin frowned and looked at Zhang Yang.

Seeing this, Zhang Yang continued:
"My idea is to develop a vaccine in 2-3 years, and then report both the 'T14 pneumonia virus' and the vaccine to the relevant departments at the same time."

"By then, with the vaccine, people won't panic so much, and the country can also guide people to get vaccinated to avoid being infected by 'T14-specific protein'."

"It's just that many details of this idea have not been perfected yet, and I'm not sure about the difficulty of developing a vaccine..."

After the words fell, Ren Xiaomin thought for a moment, and his frown slowly melted away. He nodded and said:

"Zhang Yang, vaccines are indeed a good way to prevent diseases."

"but……"

As he spoke, his brows, which had just softened, furrowed again:

"I think you should not only consider the problems of vaccine development, but also... let the country guide everyone to get vaccinated. Will the country pay for the vaccine? Why do I feel that this is impossible?"

"And if it's a personal expense, three to five hundred dollars per shot, how many people do you think are willing to get vaccinated?"

"Besides that, pneumonia vaccines are time-limited. Do we need to give them a booster shot after three or five years when the antibodies have weakened?"

"In the end, I can only say that vaccines are indeed a solution, but I think it will be difficult to fully implement them, and the effect of popularization will probably not be satisfactory."

Ren Xiaomin spoke out his thoughts in one breath, and Zhang Yang listened carefully without any dissatisfaction on his face.

After pondering for a while, he nodded and admitted:
"Brother Ren, what you said does make sense!"

"The 'cost' of the vaccine is too high. The research and development costs, publicity costs, and vaccination costs are all high!"

"However, apart from the vaccine option, I don't have any better ideas for now. Do you have any suggestions?"

"I?!"

Ren Xiaomin couldn't help but laugh:
"Haha, me neither!"

Ren Xiaomin's bitter laugh diluted the dull atmosphere in the office. He poured another cup of tea for Zhang Yang and advised:
"Zhang Yang, don't be too anxious. Think about it slowly. There will always be a way!"

"Come, have some tea to cool down!"

After that, he filled his own glass as well.

But just as I put down the teapot and looked at the orange-red tea in front of me, a sudden idea suddenly came to my mind.

After a moment, he looked startled and said anxiously:

"Zhang Yang, I suddenly have an idea!"

"The vaccination you mentioned just now is a precaution in advance. Can we change our thinking and wait until we are infected with the pneumonia virus, or in other words, confirm that the lungs are infected with the 'T14 specific protein', and then use drugs to eliminate the 'T14 protein'?"

"what?"

Zhang Yang was also stunned by Ren Xiaomin's sudden idea.

But soon he was immersed in Ren Xiaomin's thoughts.

At this time, Ren Xiaomin's thoughts became clearer and he continued:
"Zhang Yang, it's not the pneumonia virus that causes lung adenocarcinoma, but the T14-specific protein in it, right?"

"Correct!"

"You said before that 'T14-specific protein' cannot induce 'lung adenocarcinoma' immediately, but needs to induce lung cells in lung tissue for a long time before it can cause 'lung adenocarcinoma', right?"

"Correct!"

"Okay! Last question, if you have 'pneumonia virus', there must be clinical symptoms, such as fever, cold, and cough, right!"

"Correct!"

"That's it!"

Ren Xiaomin's expression became a little excited!
"In that case, we can definitely develop a drug similar to 'antiviral granules'!"

"With our current R&D capabilities at Qingshan Pharmaceutical, it is not difficult to develop a drug to treat colds and coughs. We only need to add a drug ingredient that can remove the 'T14-specific protein'!"

"When the time comes, once the patient finds himself coughing or having a fever, he should quickly take a pack of the 'antiviral granules' we developed. While treating the cough and cold, it can also directly remove the 'T14 protein' remaining in the lungs!"

"In this way, wouldn't it solve the problem of 'T14 protein' and the possibility of 'lung adenocarcinoma'?"

Take medicine only if you get infected!

Zhang Yang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately realized that the plan Ren Xiaomin mentioned was very feasible!
Think about it carefully!

indeed!

Compared to vaccination, taking medicine is much simpler and patients can fully accept it!
and!

According to our previous vaccination plan, everyone needs to be vaccinated, but in reality there will definitely be a large number of people who are unwilling to be vaccinated!

Especially young people!

Now you have to take medicine after you are infected. Who can refuse to take medicine when they are sick? !
very good!

And most importantly,

Once a drug is developed that can directly clear the "T14-specific protein" from the lungs as Ren Xiaomin said, then he can immediately report the secret of the "pneumonia virus" to the relevant departments!
After all, I discovered the problem and developed the antidote, so the news can be announced!

By then, even if ordinary people knew that the "pneumonia virus" might cause "lung adenocarcinoma", they would not be so panicked because of the existence of "antiviral granules"!

Thinking of this, Zhang Yang looked at Ren Xiaomin with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

"Brother Ren, an old person in the family is like a treasure. Your plan is really great!"

"Ha ha!"

Ren Xiaomin also laughed out loud. This was a flash of inspiration for him!
"Zhang Yang, I just suddenly saw the tea and thought of the 'anti-viral powder' and '999 cold medicine' that people often drink for colds, and then I came up with this plan!"

"But even if I didn't bring it up today, you would probably be able to think of it yourself in a few days!"

"But from now on, your focus will be on the research and development of drugs to eliminate 'T14-specific protein'?!"

Zhang Yang gradually recovered from his sudden excitement.

That's right!

If you want to clear the "T14-specific protein" remaining in the lungs, you have to develop a drug targeting the T14 protein.

just.

It is not an easy task to develop such a powder, especially since there is no research on "T14-specific protein" in all public information at home and abroad.

This means that if Zhang Yang wants to develop a drug targeting the T14 protein, he has to rely entirely on himself to analyze more information about the "T14 protein" in order to find the target and develop the drug.

Ren Xiaomin also noticed this problem, and he was startled:
"Zhang Yang, it seems that you will have to spend a long time in the P3 laboratory to do more in-depth research on 'T14-specific protein'!"

"It's just that over time, is it possible that the 'T14-specific protein' was exposed in advance?"

"I'm even a little scared. I don't want others to catch me and say that you are developing some special virus in the laboratory, right?"

Zhang Yang nodded, then shook his head.

He suddenly thought of Huang Qi.

but.

Soon all distracting thoughts in his mind were cleared, and he looked at Ren Xiaomin with pure and firm eyes:

"Brother Ren, like I said just now, we have to do something!"

"What's more, now that we have a clear idea, we have to move forward no matter how difficult it is!"
