Back To The Age Of The '80s

"Teacher, I'll borrow all of these!" Liu Menglin placed a huge box heavily on the library table. In the early 80s, there was no Internet retrieval, and one had to go to the library to borrow research-related materials. This is also an important reason why domestic scientific research has always been difficult.

Before the reform and opening up, Huaguo’s academic community had very little contact with the outside world, and foreign journal documents had to go through layers of checks when they were sent in, and when they reached the recipients, they were beyond timeliness.Therefore, Li Zheng admires the scientific research workers of this era very much. They hardly rely on any external force, and they struggle step by step in the dark. The output of scientific research results consumes more time and energy than the contemporary foreign scholars. much.

The library teacher looked at the box that was almost half the height of a person in surprise, and pushed his glasses, "All of these... all?"

Liu Menglin nodded, "Teacher, please register quickly, I will rush to send things to the laboratory."

The library teacher suddenly said, "Got it. Which professor are you running errands for again? Amisadin? I haven't heard of any professor who started a project about this?"

Liu Menglin chuckled and didn't answer.

The librarian moved very quickly, and within 10 minutes, a large box of materials was registered.

When Liu Menglin was carrying the boxes out, he also met a few classmates. Graduate students majoring in biopharmaceuticals followed their supervisors into the laboratory. When Liu Menglin moved boxes and boxes of materials from the library, he knew Xu Mingsheng’s The laboratory started a new project, so they couldn't help asking. Liu Menglin didn't answer, just said that the laboratory was waiting for information, and left in a hurry.

Zhang Yuejun’s side is not so smooth. The laboratories of Xiangjiang Medical College focus on theoretical research rather than practical. Their laboratories like to do bacterial analysis, virus analysis, and study the source of infection, transmission route, and pathogenic process of a certain disease. Other laboratories research corresponding drugs to provide theoretical support.

Just like the birth of a product, it needs to do market research, material selection, style design, etc. before it can enter the production line. However, most of the laboratories of Heung Kong Medical College do market research.Their theories point the way to drug production, but it is a bit difficult for them to get started.

After all, the cost of capital required to develop drugs is too high for a university laboratory to afford.

It was the first time for Zhang Yuejun to do medicine production. After using up a few tubes of reagents, he started sweating.

Li Zheng was wearing goggles, carefully observing the reaction of the drug, caught a glimpse of Zhang Yuejun's obviously nervous expression, he let out a breath, and took off the mask and goggles.

"Senior, don't be nervous. It is true that you will be at a loss for the first time making medicine, and I also came here." He did not take off the rubber gloves on his hands, but put another one on it, picked up two a glass tube and start the demonstration.

Zhang Yuejun opened his mouth slightly, and looked at Li Zheng with almost dull eyes, which could almost be called a smooth and smooth appearance. Is this an experiment?This is simply art!

Zhang Yuejun suddenly had a premonition in his heart, maybe... maybe, this elementary school boy in front of him could really develop the medicine for freezing blood syndrome within five days.

"Scholar, in fact, there are some small tricks in the preparation of medicines, such as reagent exchange, such as the mixing of suspensions. These can be found out slowly. Don't worry about wasting reagents. These are all paid by me personally, and there is no financial limit." Li Zheng entered the laboratory at the age of 20 in his previous life, and died suddenly at the age of 32.

For 12 years, his experimental methods can almost form a school of his own.

Zhang Yuejun was convinced, he felt that Li Zheng's whole body seemed to glow when he was doing the experiment.In the biopharmaceutical major of Xiangjiang University, only a few professors who can independently host the project have this kind of experimental method that has formed its own distinctive characteristics.And this kind of private technique, they usually only teach their confidant disciples, Zhang Yuejun is not qualified to learn this kind.

Zhang Yuejun was very excited by Li Zheng's unselfish teaching. To learn this kind of experimental technique, even if he didn't have second works, and he didn't have a salary of ten Hong Kong dollars an hour, it was worth the fare!

Li Zheng had only heard about the medicine for freezing blood disease in his previous life.The United Nations Women's and Children's Fund has done a lot of work, so that the treatment of frozen blood syndrome can be available in the late 90s.He vaguely remembered which information he had read about the formula for the medicine, but because it had been so long, his memory was a little fuzzy.

Li Zheng listed all the possible ingredients on the white paper, and the white paper covered a whole table, trying to cross out one by one.Library-related materials were thrown on the ground at will, so it was not messy.

In his previous life, he graduated from Stanford and entered Cold Spring Harbor. The smooth sailing experience made him a little proud. After returning to China and switching to the field of biopharmaceuticals, Li Zheng went straight to cancer, the number one disease in human beings.But this experience made him think carefully about the way to go in the future. Maybe Li Zheng's laboratory should pay more attention to this special disease drug in the future...

On the night of Christmas on the 25th, the lights in Xu Mingsheng's laboratory were lit all night.

As soon as Li Zheng entered the laboratory, he no longer had the slightest sense of time. Zhang Yuejun was so excited that he naturally couldn't take a break.Liu Menglin wanted to rest, but seeing that Li Zheng and his senior brother had no intention of going back, he could only sort out the materials obediently.

So, when Xu Mingsheng came to the laboratory the next day, he saw such a scene.Li Zheng's workbench was full of white paper and waste paper, and he was like a tireless machine, crossing out the experiment and continuing the experiment.Zhang Yuejun has two heavy dark circles under his eyes, but his experimental technique has indeed become more proficient.Liu Menglin obeyed Li Zheng's instructions, and kept looking for what Li Zheng wanted from the materials spread all over the floor.

Xu Mingsheng picked up Zhang Yuejun's experimental flow sheet and looked at it, feeling astonished.

"Li Zheng, are you going to study medicine for treating frozen blood disease?" When Li Zheng called yesterday to borrow the laboratory and two people, Xu Mingsheng only thought that he wanted to do a small experiment and didn't even think about it. I agree.

It's just that when I was working today, many colleagues came to his office to inquire about what projects his laboratory was going to start and where the funds would come from.

Xu Mingsheng looked bewildered. It's already December, and the funding for scientific research projects in [-] has long been used up. New funding hasn't been approved yet. What kind of projects can he open!

Those professors still didn't believe it, so they said convincingly that Liu Menglin moved a whole box of materials to the laboratory.

Liu Menglin?Xu Mingsheng's heart skipped a beat, and he thought of Li Zheng, no, this is what he saw when he came here early in the morning.

"Teacher, wait a minute. Zhang Yuejun, adjust the ratio, 20, 70." Li Zheng continued his movements without raising his head.

Zhang Yuejun responded, picked up two tubes of reagents and began to reconfigure.

Xu Mingsheng had no choice but to call himself a teacher, what could he do.Although I feel that the student Li Zheng is a bit dazzled by the success of the drug catalyst, is this catalyst the same as the new drug?It is one thing to overestimate one's ability, but he is positive about the starting point of Li Zheng's experiment.

"Oh, your speed. I'll do it." He took off his coat, put on a white lab coat, and put on rubber gloves. He grabbed Zhang Yuejun's job and beat Li Zheng himself. .

This is true scholarly style.No matter what era there are such people, they know that the essence of knowledge inheritance and research is to benefit mankind, they don't care about their status and status, and they have a sincere heart of scholars.

Zhang Yuejun was taken aback for a moment, then scratched his head and giggled, quickly picked up the other two tubes of reagents, and followed Professor Xu's movements.

Li Zheng crossed out one of the ingredients again, looked up at Xu Mingsheng, and jokingly said, "Teacher, you help me personally, should the thesis be assigned to you as a second author?"

Xu Mingsheng gave Li Zheng a gouged look, "I, Xu Mingsheng, haven't hung up on the second work for more than ten years. If your paper really comes out, I'll throw away my face and not want it. The second work will also be decided!"

The two laughed.

As expected, Xu Mingsheng has been immersed in the laboratory for decades, and his experimental methods are more sophisticated than Li Zheng. With his participation, the experimental process has been doubled.

For the next four days, all four of them spent time in the laboratory. Except for Xu Mingsheng, who was too old to keep up with his physical strength, after squatting in the laboratory, the three young people worked almost day and night. And getting more and more excited!

Because they see hope, a new medicine may be born in their hands.

On the fourth day, batches of mice and pigeons came in and batches went out.

"Do we have to go to hell if we die? In this business, I don't know how many lives I have in my hand." Liu Menglin said, blocking a pain caused by the medicine with two fingers. Pigeon's breathing hole.

Li Zheng laughed lightly. He didn’t count the experimental animals that died in his hands in his previous life. A drug experiment requires dozens or even hundreds of mice for comparison. If God really pursued it, he wouldn’t be standing here today. up.

"You can be a vegetarian, and eat less chicken, duck and fish on weekdays. It may be worth a drug test." Li Zheng said with a smile.

Liu Menglin froze, touched his nose, "Forget it then."

Li Zheng looked at the batches of mice being taken out, and suddenly said, "For human beings."

Everyone in the laboratory paused, with a bit of solemnity on their faces.

Yes, for humanity!

In the early morning of the 30th, Xu Mingsheng almost looked at Li Zheng with amazement.Even with vague memories of previous lives, five days is still not enough for the world to witness the birth of a new drug.

But Xu Mingsheng can say without exaggeration that after these few days, the drug molecules of the new drug for freezing blood disease have vaguely appeared in front of everyone. It will be available.

Even if there are factors that can be referred to in the drug composition of amexatin, this speed is still a miracle.

Li Zheng silently glanced at the countless cross-lined drug molecules on the white paper, and sighed. If he didn't have vague memories of his previous life and simply relied on the derivation of the drug ingredients of amisadin, it would take him more than half a year to get to the animal. In the experimental stage, although compared with the current drug laboratory, this is already a very fast speed, but he is still not satisfied.

Is he too greedy?Li Zheng smiled wryly. A person's life is only a few decades, and he hoped that he could be as productive as possible so that he could live up to his rebirth.

"The plane at [-] o'clock in the morning, we have to leave. Meng Lin, the laboratory remains unchanged, and we will continue to do animal experiments when we come back!" The excitement of a new drug being born in his own hands made Xu Mingsheng excited .

Liu Menglin responded loudly, and at the same time secretly glanced at Li Zheng.

Li Zheng couldn't help laughing, "I wrote the thesis on the plane, and you are indispensable for the second work."

Liu Menglin and Zhang Yuejun laughed "hehehe".

Because the Asian Biopharmaceutical Conference will be held for three days, the three of them hurried back to sort their clothes. On the way, Xu Mingsheng coughed dryly and said seriously: "Second author, I will not hang up. But the signature of your paper..."

Li Zheng looked at Xu Mingsheng, who had erratic eyes, and said with a chuckle, "Teacher, I did this experiment in your office, so there will naturally be the words Xiangjiang University Medical Laboratory in the signature."

Xu Mingsheng's eyes popped, "It's the No. [-] Medical Laboratory of Xiangjiang University!" He didn't want Li Zheng to write a few words less, so that his old buddies would get all the glory.

Li Zheng said dumbly, "Okay, teacher."

When the three rushed to the airport, Professor Wang, Professor Zhao and female graduate student Yang Ning were already waiting.Professor Wang and Professor Zhao looked suspiciously at the three people with dark circles under their eyes.

"What have you been doing these past few days? Old Xu, you're almost fifty, you're not a young man anymore, so take it easy in everything you do," Professor Wang said with a smile.

Xu Mingsheng laughed "hehe" twice and didn't answer. When the paper comes out, these two old boys will be scared to death!

Professor Wang and Professor Zhao looked at each other, and they both saw the doubt in each other's eyes. There is something wrong with this old Xu. He usually says he is old, and he can taunt you for a long time, but today he is so calm.

But they didn't think too much about it. It's only four or five days, what major event can happen, and they are in the same school, what major event can they hide from them?

A group of six boarded the plane.

"Yang Ning, change places with Li Zheng." Xu Mingsheng said suddenly when he got to the seat.

Seats for six people, three people in a row, Yang Ning and Professor Wang are assigned to the window seat, the order of the six people in the two rows is: Yang Ning, Professor Zhao, Liu Menglin; Professor Wang, Li Zheng, Xu Mingsheng

"Oh good." Yang Ning agreed without thinking, and changed places with Li Zheng with a smile.

"Old Zhao, I'll trade with you too." Xu Mingsheng couldn't help but sit down in the middle of the first row.

Professor Wang and Professor Zhao looked at each other, and they exchanged a look.This old Xu must have a secret!And this secret is related to Li Zheng!

Li Zheng rubbed his nose. Of course he understood what Professor Xu meant. He was by the window, and Xu Mingsheng was on the other side, so it was convenient for him to write his thesis.

When the plane landed at the Tokyo airport, Li Zheng successfully completed the first draft of the thesis.

The six people walked out of the airport with their suitcases talking and laughing.Suddenly Li Zheng paused, and his gaze was attracted by a group of people outside the Tokyo airport.

They wore slightly old-fashioned black suits, their hair was neatly shaved with mousse, and they looked serious and walked in unison, forming a sharp contrast with the pedestrians passing by in a hurry.

A trace of complexity flashed in Li Zheng's eyes, and he recognized that the man in his early thirties with black-rimmed glasses among the pedestrians was Chen Anbang, the Huaqing University professor who persuaded him to return to China in his previous life.In other words, these people are Chinese scholars who came to participate in the Asian Biopharmaceutical Conference.

Chen Anbang once mentioned that he started to devote himself to the field of biopharmaceuticals in the 70s. At that time, the biopharmaceutical environment in China was very bad.Unlike physical chemistry, because it can be transformed into military power, it has national attention and financial preference.In his era, it was extremely difficult to find a complete drug production line in Huaguo.

So at that time, scholars of biopharmaceuticals switched careers one after another, and few of them could persist.He once said that the biggest obsession of his peers at that time was to introduce a complete drug production line.

"Li Zheng, what do you see?" Professor Zhao asked.

Li Zheng turned his head and smiled, "It's nothing."

Since Li Hongzhang signed the Treaty of Nanjing in 1842, Xiangjiang has been under the rule of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. This generation of Xiangjiang people have been educated by the British from birth to now. Their feelings towards Huaguo are probably very complicated.

The six arrived at the hotel smoothly by taxi.The meeting will be officially held at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and they will have a whole night of free activities.

As soon as Li Zheng arrived in the hotel room, he slept in the dark for five days and four nights. No matter how young his body was, he still felt that he couldn't bear it.

When he woke up again, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening, and there was a small note from Xu Mingsheng and the others in the crack of the door.

Said that they had knocked on Li Zheng's door after five o'clock, but there was no response, so they went out to eat first.

Japan in the 80s was when its economy reached its peak. Japan created nearly half of the GDP of the United States with one-third of the population of the United States.At the same time, in the early 80s, Sino-Japanese relations were in the honeymoon period. In 1980, the results of a Japanese government survey showed that the Japanese people’s sense of closeness to China reached a historical peak of 72.7%, surpassing that of the United States for the first time.

At seven or eight o'clock, the nightlife in Japan has just begun.

Li Zheng rubbed his stomach, he was a little hungry.

After leaving the hotel, he took a taxi and headed straight to Ginza. Li Zheng had been to Japan many times in his previous life, so he was very familiar with some old shops here.

He remembered that at the corner not far from Ginza, there was a very delicious unagi rice. The eel was soft and melted in the mouth, mixed with avocado, which left a deep impression on him.

It's just that he didn't expect to meet an acquaintance again before he ate the eel rice.

Chen Anbang and several of his colleagues came out of a department store not far from Ginza with big bags and small bags, smiling.Yes, one of the great advantages of going abroad for meetings at this time is that you can approve a lot of foreign exchange and buy some practical small electrical appliances from abroad.

Chinese people's desire to buy, like their ability to learn, is engraved in the blood of Chinese children.

"Xiao Chen, don't be sad, there is still a chance next time." A slightly older scholar patted Chen Anbang on the shoulder and said.

"Yes, there will be a chance next time." Although Chen Anbang said so, the disappointment on his face was hard to hide. After all, it was so difficult to go abroad once in the 80s!

Li Zheng hesitated for a moment, but still walked forward.

"Hello, do you need help?" He spoke standard Beijing dialect.

When a Chinese scholar is in a foreign country, when he suddenly hears Beijing dialect, he feels a sense of intimacy. Turning his head and seeing Li Zheng, Professor Meng asked hesitantly, "Are you from Hua?"

Li Zheng nodded, "I'm from Shenzhen City, Haidong Province. My grandfather is from Beijing, so he can speak a little Beijing dialect."

The professors laughed when they heard the words. It is really a joy to meet an old friend in a foreign land, even if the old friend looks a little younger.

"Hahaha, from Haidong Province? My hometown is also from Haidong Province, Guangzhou City, so I'm a fellow!" Professor Meng said with a smile.

Li Zheng smiled, and he repeated again: "Do you need help? Maybe I can help." He felt that he might be able to help Huaguo introduce a complete advanced drug production line earlier.

Several professors and scholars naturally didn't think Li Zheng, a young man, could be of much help. Professor Meng said casually, "Xiao Chen, I want a tape recorder for his wife to learn English, but I don't have enough foreign exchange."

Li Zheng was taken aback, foreign exchange?Yes, at that time foreign exchange abroad was distributed according to the quota.

Li Zheng looked around and saw a flag with a Japanese currency symbol on a bungalow not far from the department store.

"Maybe I can help." Li Zheng said with a smile.

Under the astonished eyes of the professors, he led them to the bungalow where the flag was hung.

"Hey, can't we meet a liar?" A scholar said softly.

"No, how many coins do we have all over our bodies? We have already spent all of them. And that young man can speak Peking quite fluently. We can't doubt our compatriots."

A kind of professor followed Li Zheng to the door of the bungalow with doubts.
