After Vice Minister Wang formally extended the invitation to Zhou Yang, everyone's eyes were fixed on Zhou Yang.

There are envy and expectations, and some people are full of jealousy!

This was personally invited by the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Health, and he participated in a scientific research project named by his superiors.

More importantly, now that the hemorrhagic fever virus strain has been isolated, it is much easier to develop a vaccine.

Once a national key project like this comes to fruition, honor and status are at your fingertips.

However, Zhou Yang did not agree immediately as everyone imagined.

He frowned first, and then said in a deep voice: "Minister Wang, first of all, I am very grateful to the Ministry for the attention and invitation, but I don't think it's time to develop a vaccine yet!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned!

"Comrade Zhou Yang, hasn't the strain of the virus been isolated? Why can't a vaccine be developed?" Vice Minister Wang asked in confusion.

The same is true for other people present. According to common sense, as long as the virus strain is isolated, a vaccine can be developed. If the vaccine is successfully developed, it is equivalent to completely surrendering this demon.

In addition, after obtaining the virus strain, some drug research and development can be done to treat patients.

It is precisely because of this that the higher authorities attach so much importance to this matter!

"Minister Wang, normally this is indeed the case, but what we are now facing is a hemorrhagic fever that has been rampant for nearly a century. This infectious disease is more terrifying than we imagined. We must treat it with caution!"

Then Zhou Yang said again: "For this virus extraction, we only selected Apodemus chinensis. Common rodents such as voles and chinchillas have not been extracted. They may not have virus strains in their bodies, and these virus strains are similar to ours. The extracted ones may not be the same!"

Zhou Yang's words were not just casual, but well-founded.

In the previous life, the first strain of hemorrhagic fever virus was officially isolated from Apodemus spp. in China in 81, and it was named the A9 strain.

But only one year later, the researchers successfully isolated the R22 strain from the No. 22 mouse lung specimen provided by Henan Province, and it was included in the World Health Organization Reference Center, recognized as the representative strain of type 2 virus in China.

Since then, research by scientific researchers has proved that the two viruses, A9 and R22, are hemorrhagic fever viruses of different serotypes, namely wild mouse type and house mouse type.

The results of epidemiological investigations in the future confirmed that there were indeed two different types of epidemic hemorrhagic fever, the house mouse type and the field mouse type, in many epidemic areas.

Generally speaking, the peak of incidence is generally from November to December, which is the rat type hemorrhagic fever.

The peak of incidence is from March to May, and it is a mixed type of voles and house mice.

In fact, the black-lined squirrel is only an important source of infection in the wild in agricultural areas. There are also many kinds of mice that carry hemorrhagic fever virus in their bodies, such as the big forest squirrel, which is an important source of infection in the forest area of ​​Northeast China, and the brown family for example. Rats, which are an important source of infection in urban and rural residential areas.

I haven't even figured out the types of viruses. Isn't it ridiculous to talk about researching vaccines now!

Hearing Zhou Yang's words, everyone in the room fell silent.

Everyone including Vice Minister Wang, they are all top experts in the medical field, so they can naturally understand what Zhou Yang means.

The possibility he mentioned exists, and it’s quite large.

At this moment, Director Zhang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Comrade Zhou Yang, what do you think we should do now?"

"I think right now we should deal with this matter in a two-pronged manner. On the one hand, we should bring the isolated virus strain back to the capital for cultivation and analysis, study its pathological condition, and prepare for the next vaccine development!"

Then Zhou Yang continued: "On the other hand, we will continue to isolate the virus strains. This time we can target the Rattus norvegicus."

Director Zhang looked at Zhou Yang, and then said to Vice Minister Wang: "Minister Wang, I think Comrade Zhou Yang's proposal is very pertinent!"

Liu Jimin also echoed: "I also think this idea is very good, this kind of thing really can't be rushed!"

"What's more, with the treatment method provided by Comrade Zhou Yang, the mortality rate of hemorrhagic fever has been greatly reduced, so the development of the vaccine can indeed be slowed down!"

Vice Minister Wang pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "Comrade Zhou Yang, the idea you raised is very good, and I will report it to the ministry."

"However, I still hope that you can accept our invitation and join this project!"

Liu Jimin also said: "Comrade Zhou Yang, you have joined our Beijing Medical College a long time ago, you can't favor one over the other!"

Seeing this posture, Zhou Yang could only smile bitterly and said, "Leaders and seniors, it's not that I'm putting on airs, but that I really can't leave the village in a short time!"

"It's easy, you don't have to move, we'll come to you!"

Then Deputy Minister Wang said again: "Elder Jiang can accommodate you, so can our Ministry of Health, and our team can come to you!"

And Liu Jimin also immediately said: "Our Beijing Medical College fully supports, we need people to give, we need equipment to equipment!"

"Yes! Our team members are willing to stay in Babaoliang Village and continue to isolate the virus strains!" Duan Yinzhong said immediately.

Director Zhang also immediately said: "If necessary, the team of our research institute can be transferred here at any time!"

After finishing speaking, everyone's eyes fixed on Zhou Yang again, waiting for his answer.

Zhou Yang knew that he had to seriously consider this matter.

After all, everyone has talked about this, and it would be too much for me to be sloppy.

After thinking about it seriously, Zhou Yang immediately said: "Since all the leaders and seniors have said so, then I will also talk about my own thoughts!"

"To be honest, I'm very busy with work now. Even if I participate in this project, I can only use the same research model as Professor Duan and the others. I only care about the general direction, and I can only rely on other people for the rest."

Minister Wang immediately said: "Okay, as long as the direction is right, everything else is fine!"

"Since that's the case, then I will join this project!" Zhou Yang said.

"Then let's make a decision like this. I will make a report after I go back and set up a research institute here as soon as possible!" Minister Wang said.

Zhou Yang immediately said: "There is no need to build a house. There is enough room on the side of the laboratory. Then the College of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry will be on the left, and the side of the Medical College will be on the right. It will be enough!"

"That's great. In this way, the research can be carried out as soon as possible!" Liu Jimin said immediately.

"Comrade Zhou Yang, what else do you need us to solve?" Minister Wang said.

Zhou Yang thought for a while and said, "If possible, I hope you can provide us with some scientific research equipment, especially in drug research!"

"Comrade Zhou Yang, are you planning to develop medicine?" Minister Wang said.

"Well, have this idea!"

"Okay, what equipment do you need, just make an order and I'll approve it for you!" Minister Wang said immediately.

And Liu Jimin also said: "If you are short of manpower, our medical school can also send you some relevant professional personnel!"

"I really appreciate the leaders!" Zhou Yang said.

Minister Wang said with a smile: "Okay, since the matter has been resolved, let's discuss how to publicize it now!"

"Row..."
