After being fired, I became the light of medicine

Chapter 197 People coming from the capital
"Well, Team Leader Huang, I think what you said is indeed correct. It is indeed necessary to find out what Mr. Zhang is doing!"

Director Cao nodded.

"but……"

but?

Huang Qi was slightly stunned.

"However, considering that Mr. Zhang Yang of Qingshan Pharmaceutical is a well-known figure and now has a cooperative relationship with our laboratory, it may not be appropriate to ask rashly. It would be even worse if we offend Mr. Zhang!"

"I think we should just remind Mr. Zhang Yang about this matter;
Didn't he fail to fill in the experimental records? Then remind him to fill it in according to the experimental regulations, and we will naturally know what substance he extracted from the 'pneumonia virus'!"

what?
remind?

Upon hearing this, Huang Qi felt visibly disappointed.

The last time he reported Zhang Yang's situation to Director Cao, he realized that Director Cao and Zhang Yang had a good relationship.

But I didn’t expect that even though this was a clear violation of laboratory regulations, Director Cao still let it go.

He said anxiously:

"Director, according to the laboratory regulations, when studying Class II virus samples, if it is discovered for the first time that the experimental process is not fully recorded, an immediate warning must be issued and all missing experimental processes must be recorded immediately!"

"If we find that the experimental process was deliberately concealed, we will review the entire experimental process to determine whether there are any major risks!"

"I suggest that we should immediately check Zhang Yang's experimental process! Find out what substance he is separating!"

After he finished speaking, Director Cao sighed in his heart.

To be honest, if this situation happened in other institutions, he would definitely follow Huang Qi's wishes and let Huang Qi handle it!
But for now, let’s not talk about the relationship that Zhang Yang has with Dean Zhou. Even if he doesn’t have that, Qingshan Pharmaceutical is one of the top pharmaceutical companies in the country, and he doesn’t want to offend Zhang Yang.

After a moment, he shook his head:

"Huang Qi, I know you are serious and responsible about your work, but... is it possible that Zhang Yang is not familiar with the process and has forgotten it?"

"Besides, what can be extracted from a pneumonia virus? Why is it necessary to conceal the extracted substances?
You don't think he's developing a new pneumonia virus, do you?

Hearing this, Huang Qi completely understood that Director Cao was determined to protect Zhang Yang.

At this moment, Director Cao's voice came again:

"Okay, don't worry about this matter. I'll go talk to Zhang Yang in person and remind him to complete the experimental steps!"

"All right!"

Huang Qi didn't say anything else, but a hint of gloom flashed across his eyes. After looking at Director Cao, he left the office.

This report ended unpleasantly, but Director Cao acted quickly. Early the next morning, he personally invited Zhang Yang to his office.

After the pleasantries, he got straight to the point.

"Mr. Zhang, when we were checking the laboratory data records recently, we found that you did not seem to have fully recorded all the experimental procedures and data. Do you think you forgot?"

This short sentence gave Zhang Yang a sudden shock.

Of course he knew that he had not recorded the fact that the "T14-specific protein" was extracted from the "pneumonia virus". After all, even if he had reported it, the matter still needed to be kept absolutely confidential!
only? !
Director Cao actually knew about this?

He quickly reacted and thought of several assistants in the laboratory and Huang Qi.

This must be what Huang Qi discovered? !

Thinking of this, he was slightly startled, and couldn't help but be glad that he had reported the matter of "T14 protein" in advance. Now even if Huang Qi discovered something, he could explain it clearly.

He immediately calmed down, and suddenly realized:

"Oh, yes! Director Cao, I did isolate an unknown protein from the 'pneumonia virus' recently, and I seem to have forgotten to record it!"

"I'm sorry, Director Cao, I've caused you trouble. I'll make it up to you right away!"

"Haha, it's okay, Mr. Zhang, it's normal to forget it since it's your first time using the lab! Just make up for it when you're free!"

After this little episode, Zhang Yang returned to the P3 laboratory. At this time, he also knew that Huang Qi was watching him, and it was almost impossible to completely erase all traces of the "T14-specific protein".

After thinking for a while, he simply recorded the name "T14-specific protein" in the experimental record, but wrote "unknown" in the protein function and detailed information.

After finishing all this, Zhang Yang suddenly thought of his big leader who was far away in Beijing.

"It's been more than ten days. The senior leaders in Beijing should have found someone to isolate the 'T14-specific protein', right?"

As he thought about it, Zhang Yang's mind returned to the main business.

"Forget it. No matter what the progress is in the capital, we still have to rely on ourselves to develop a drug to remove the 'T14-specific protein'!"

"Hurry up!"

After dealing with Director Cao's reminder, Zhang Yang did not waste any more time and once again accelerated the research and development and analysis progress of "T14-specific protein".

At this point, he had already analyzed the basic characteristics and pathways of the "T14-specific protein". The next step was to collect pheromones from the cell culture that induced the entire process of lung cells deteriorating into lung adenocarcinoma by the "T14-specific protein".

A week later, in the P3 laboratory, lung adenocarcinoma characteristics began to appear on cells that had cultivated a large number of "T14-specific proteins".

Zhang Yang quickly collected various information from the cells, and at the same time he was more cautious and concealed in handling these cells that contained a large amount of "T14 specific protein". He knew very well that these were all the secrets of "T14 specific protein"!

While Zhang Yang was collecting data in the P3 laboratory and trying to hide the secret of "T14 protein",
Early in the morning of a new day, Zhang Yang had just arrived at Qingshan Pharmaceutical to handle company affairs when a middle-aged man suddenly appeared at Qingshan Pharmaceutical.

When he heard that he was from the capital, Zhang Yang understood instantly.

"Mr. Zhang, let me introduce myself first. My name is Zhou Hai, Zhou as in Zhou Wu Zheng Wang, and Hai as in the sea. You can call me Secretary Zhou."

"Okay, Secretary Zhou."

Zhang Yang politely asked Zhou Hai to sit down, while he looked at him silently.

Secretary Zhou is about forty years old, with a straight figure and bright eyes. At first glance, you can tell that he has an extraordinary temperament and is very capable.

His temperament was also reflected in his actions. After sitting down on the sofa, he didn't say much politely and immediately got to the point, whispering:

"Mr. Zhang, let me tell you the first thing. The information you reported to Beijing about half a month ago has all been confirmed!"

"Your data is fine, and the protein you mentioned was successfully isolated!"

"The higher-ups were very shocked when they found out about this, and are very grateful to you for discovering and reporting this in a timely manner. Today, they asked me to express my gratitude to you on their behalf."

Zhang Yang smiled immediately:
"You are so polite, leaders. It's what I should do."

Secretary Zhou couldn't help but smile. After a moment, he continued:
"Okay, let's move on to the second thing I came here for today!" "Now the leaders have confirmed that the virus you reported is indeed very harmful to society, and they take it very seriously!"

"So I want to ask you, what's the progress of the protein-clearing drug you mentioned last time? When will it be developed and put on the market?!"

Secretary Zhou lowered his voice and paused:

"As you know, if this matter requires the use of other pharmaceutical companies for drug research and development, the news will most likely leak out."

"Moreover, looking at the entire China, your company Qingshan Pharmaceutical is undoubtedly the top one in drug research and development. The only one we can rely on now is you!"

Zhang Yang smiled again and said modestly:
"Secretary Zhou, you are so kind."

After saying this, he thought for a moment and continued:
"To be honest, I have made some progress in drug research and development recently. As for when I can develop a drug that can clear protein..."

“About two to three months!”

"Two to three months?"

"So fast?!"

Secretary Zhou was stunned, his expression surprised and obviously a little surprised.

Zhang Yang couldn't help but raise a smile, and Secretary Zhou's expression naturally fell into his eyes.

To be honest, if he wasn't worried about being too exaggerated, with the help of simulator version 2.0, he could even shorten the research and development time to one month.

Seeing this, he explained:
"Secretary Zhou, you may not know that this time we only want to remove the 'T14-specific protein' that remains in the lungs. Relatively speaking, proteins are simpler than viruses, so the speed is naturally much faster!"

"Oh! I see."

When Secretary Zhou heard Zhang Yang's confident words, his expression instantly relaxed a lot.

He knew very well that before he came, the leaders' psychological expectations were within one to two years, and they would be completely acceptable if they could develop a drug that could solve the virus within two years!
And now!
Zhang Yang in front of me actually said that it would only take 2-3 months!

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, I look forward to your good news!"

After saying this, Secretary Zhou was also in a good mood. Just as he was about to stand up, he suddenly said:
"By the way, Mr. Zhang, I almost forgot, there is something else I want to discuss with you!"

"You also know that the 'T14-specific protein' incident has a huge impact. Once it is made public, I don't know what kind of reaction it will cause in society!"

"So after the discussion, the leaders hope that even if you develop a drug that can eliminate the 'T14 protein', you will not rush to announce the relevant information. Is that okay with you?"

Even if a drug that can eliminate "T14 protein" is developed, the information will not be made public?

Zhang Yang was slightly stunned, obviously a little surprised.

Seeing this, Secretary Zhou explained:
"Of course, it's not that we won't disclose it at all, we just don't want to disclose it in a 100% official way, thereby attracting everyone's attention and causing unimaginable public pressure!"

Zhang Yang understood instantly that the country was maintaining stability.

Before Zhang Yang could speak, Secretary Zhou continued:
"But in this case, the sales of your drug targeting 'T14-specific protein' will definitely be affected!"

“But don’t worry, once the drug is developed, medical insurance will immediately include it in the list;

At the same time, the drug you developed will be included in the 'Pneumonia Diagnosis and Treatment Guidelines' as a first-line drug for the treatment of pneumonia!"

"And, as I said just now, we are not completely keeping it secret. In the hospital, we will also release information about the 'T14-specific protein' and conduct comprehensive training for doctors in the respiratory department. All the top three hospitals will also purchase your special medicine!"

Zhang Yang nodded.

To be honest, at this moment, he doesn't care too much about sales profits!
Zhang Yang and Secretary Zhou continued to discuss for two hours, and more details were determined by the two.

For example, Secretary Zhou asked Zhang Yang not to disclose all information about the "T14 specific protein" to the public, but if the existence of the "T14 protein" was not announced to the public, then clinical trials of the new drug would not be able to be applied for.

You know, any innovative drug must be proven to be safe and effective in humans before it can be put on the market!
If the existence of "T14 protein" is completely concealed, even clinical trials cannot be carried out!
Even Zhang Yang’s original idea was to report the drug and “T14-specific protein” to the country after developing the drug!

After Zhang Yang's explanation, Secretary Zhou also understood the importance of clinical trials.
After final discussion and consultation, Zhang Yang was allowed to reveal the name of "T14-specific protein" during the clinical trial, but the viral effect was changed from being able to cause lung adenocarcinoma to being able to cause "lung inflammation."

After the details were confirmed one by one, and after Secretary Zhou left with the content of the three-hour meeting, Zhang Yang immediately came to the P3 laboratory again.

In addition to discussing clinical trials with Secretary Zhou just now, he also realized that in order to conduct clinical trials, he had to first develop a detection method that could detect "T14-specific protein" in the human body!
Otherwise, how can we determine which patients have T14-specific protein in their bodies?
Which patients eliminated the virus after treatment?
Zhang Yang couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought about the supporting reagents he still had to make. Fortunately, the time he just got from Secretary Zhou was two to three months to develop a drug to eliminate the "T14-specific protein", so there was still plenty of time!
In the following period of time, Zhang Yang suspended the cell analysis of "T14 specific protein" and turned to the development of drugs to detect "T14 protein".

Fortunately, after mastering a large number of protein characteristics of "T14 specific protein", and knowing that the pheromone of "T14 protein" will appear in the blood, Zhang Yang initially perfected the serum detection method for "T14 specific protein" one month later.

After finishing all this, the time was almost up. Zhang Yang organized the analysis results of the past two or three months in the P3 laboratory and entered the medical simulator.

He is ready to complete the last step and use the simulator version 2.0 to quickly develop a drug that can eliminate "T14-specific protein"!

New drug development project: "T14-specific protein clearer".

Current drug progress: 5%, information provided - detailed information on T14-specific protein.

Next stage: target exploration (10%)

Zhang Yang took a look at his remaining 960 energy points and decisively began to explore!
"Target exploration is in progress..."

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host for successfully discovering the 'T14-specific protein' clearance target. The current drug development progress is 10%."

“Next stage: lead compound screening (30%).”

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host for successfully discovering multiple effective 'lead compounds'. The current drug development progress is 30%."

“Next stage: compound optimization and candidate drug identification (50%).”

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host for successfully completing 'compound optimization and candidate drug identification'. The current drug development progress is 50%."

“Next stage: preclinical research (70%).”

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host for successfully completing 'preclinical research & animal experiment data'. The current drug development progress is 70%."

Looking at the 900 energy points that had been consumed and the medicine in front of him that had met the conditions, Zhang Yang stopped at the final clinical trial stage.

He only needs to complete the next clinical trial stage in reality!

Soon, he downloaded the drug that can clear "T14-specific protein" and gave it a name -

Lung poison clearing granules!
