Chapter 1142 A salon that transcends the times (fourth update, please subscribe)
When the world is changed, most people are ignorant or only belatedly aware of it.
Only when people look back on history, they will find that the world was changed at that time.
Sometimes, even if he stands on the shoulders of giants and is familiar with the development of history, even though Li Yian is a special case of evil, he cannot master everything. After all, people cannot master everything in detail.
It’s another weekend, another group of young students, including graduate students, Ph.D.s, and professors.
They gathered there just like in the past, just like all salon gatherings. They chatted there about physics, chemistry, electronic computers and various aspects, and even talked about medicine and pharmacy.
This is just chatting, there is no level.
In the past two hours, they talked a lot and gained some enlightenment. Now, it has come to the end of the party. Some of them are smoking cigarettes silently, and some are writing scattered and incoherent enlightenments, waiting to conduct special research when they go back.
In fact, every time I chatted with them, it was quite hard. Li Yian had to do his homework in advance, such as getting some books from the system mall in advance, and then selectively giving them some enlightenment and inspiration. , to help them progress.
In fact, compared to this, it would be simpler to just throw the books in the system mall to the King's Laboratory. Just like in the past few years, Li Yian has always provided malls to companies. Products in,
There are a wide variety of products, from snacks to clothing, from household appliances to cars. Although these products are all civilian supplies, they have greatly promoted the development of Nanyang's industrial consumer goods technology.
The Nanyang industrial community has benefited a lot from it, not only gaining the market, but also acquiring new technologies and achieving further development.
To put it bluntly, Nanyang's industrial sector has been developing on the road of innovation and imitation. This is also the reason why Nanyang's economy maintains rapid development - the industrial consumer goods in the mall are all products that are several years ahead of their time.
But on the other hand, Li Yian does not want Nanyang to go down the road of "copycat". Therefore, the King's Laboratory now conducts more practical research, such as lasers and lithium batteries. kind.
In this salon, Li Yian is more about giving appropriate tips or inspiration to help these young scholars make breakthroughs in certain fields. Although this kind of breakthrough is inspired by him, but In essence, it is independent innovation and pioneering research.
Therefore, compared to the King's Laboratory, Li Yian likes this kind of salon gathering. Although the effect is slower, it has a greater role in promoting Nanyang's scientific and technological level, and the further it goes, the more important it becomes.
After all, Nanyang will lose that crutch one day. This virtuous cycle of scientific innovation is what best meets the development needs of Nanyang. Now Li Yian's role is to step on the accelerator and speed up development.
“I heard from the professor that there are currently some deformed babies with abnormal hands and feet being born in various parts of West Germany. Since they have no hands or feet, they are like dolphins.”
As a doctor of medicine Zhao Shaoliang said.
Feng Jingyuan, a graduate student in chemistry, also said:
"I've heard of what you're talking about. It can't be said that I don't have hands and feet. It's just that the hands and feet are very small. It should be... brachypedia!"
Sitting on the sofa, smoking a cigar and smacking a cigar. As Li Yi'an watched, a famous incident "Thalidomide Incident" immediately appeared in his mind, and he asked almost subconsciously.
"Is there in Nanyang?"
"Nanyang?"
Zhao Shaoliang shook his head and said:
"I haven't heard of it yet, but it is common in West Germany and some other countries. Could such a sudden increase in cases be a chemical leak?"
"No way!"
Feng Jingyuan said directly.
“Chemical leaks may cause this situation, but it is distributed throughout West Germany, and even in Western European countries such as France and the United Kingdom. Chemical leaks cannot occur in all places at the same time, with so many countries, and It must be a substance, how is this possible? "
Taking a puff of cigar, Li Yian said:
"Jing Yuan is right. If chemical leaks do not occur in multiple places and countries at the same time, after ruling out this possibility, there is only one possibility. It may be related to something that is widely used by people, food. , but what kind of food will be scattered in various countries at the same time? This is also doubtful. Could it be medicine? "
Li Yian's question made Zhao Shaoliang interested, and he asked:
"Sir, are you referring to the side effects of a certain drug?"
"Who knows? It's a drug that is three parts poisonous. Currently, the testing of drugs in various countries is not sufficient, and the toxicity testing is not perfect. , No one knows what kind of side effects some drugs will bring."
Smoking a cigar, Li Yian shrugged his shoulders helplessly.
This was a wild and unrestrained era, with lax regulation of medicines and food. In Nanyang, out of caution, Li Yi'an drew on the mechanisms of later generations and established a food and drug regulatory agency in an attempt to ensure drug and food safety from the source. In fact, he was more concerned about the latter. Food safety has always been a top priority in Nanyang. , after all, there are no specialized farms in Nanyang to produce specialized food to supply the Daming Palace.
So, food supervision should be taken seriously, it concerns yourself.
But what about drugs?
"Thalidomide" is a sedative-hypnotic drug produced in Germany in the 1950s. Pharmaceutical companies claimed that this drug could treat morning sickness, nausea and other pregnancy reactions without any side effects. It was good news for pregnant women at the time. Canada, Africa, Latin America, Japan, Australia, etc. have purchased "Thalidomide" in large quantities. While it effectively prevents morning sickness in early pregnancy, it also hinders the blood supply of pregnant women to the fetus, resulting in the birth of a large number of "seal-deformed babies".
This also led to the famous "Thalidomide" incident. In just a few years, tens of thousands of "seal-deformed babies" were born.
Thinking of this, Li Yian naturally thought of the women in his own family. They didn't use these medicines!
Besides the fear, there was a hint of luck in his heart, maybe not!
But there is no guarantee, which is why we should pay attention to food and drug safety - you can never guarantee whether you will become a victim!
Taking advantage of the opportunity to smoke a cigar and adjust his mood, Li Yian reminded: "We can build an analysis model and look for clues along the birth time of these babies, all the way to the earliest batch, to determine The drugs that were on the market during that period were compared with the drugs that their parents took to look for the same drugs. If there is a common drug that can be matched by new drugs on the market, then it is very likely that it is this drug. Of course, this is just speculation, and we will conduct experiments in this area later.”
In fact, this is the simplest clue analysis. After hearing what you said, Zhao Shaoliang immediately became interested and said.
"Okay, I will study it after I get back."
However, Li Yian did not stop there, but reminded:
"The research can be further Going deeper, if it is caused by a drug, then what is the cause of its teratogenesis? Perhaps, we can find out the application of this drug in other aspects by studying it. "
Why does it happen? So?
Because thalidomide, which is thalidomide.
It's a typical "one side is a devil and the other side is an angel". Although the thalidomide incident made this drug infamous, doctors soon discovered that it had other uses by studying its teratogenic causes. They first discovered that thalidomide has a therapeutic effect on the autoimmune symptoms of leprosy patients, and then discovered that thalidomide has a certain effect in anti-cancer - it is even the first anti-cancer drug in humans. It also has therapeutic effects on systemic lupus erythematosus and multiple myeloma.
This is the angelic side of it.
What does the angelic side mean?
Money, as long as this drug does not harm Nanyang people, Li Yian does not mind making this money. Taking advantage of the notorious reputation of "Thalidomide", he purchased this drug at a low price and repackaged it. , put into the anti-cancer market.
This also benefits mankind!
Of course, the price is definitely negotiable.
After the salon ended that day, Li Yian specifically asked the doctor. After learning that "Thalidomide" was not on the market in Nanyang, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Okay, as long as it has nothing to do with the Nanyang people!
After hanging up the phone, Li Yian took a look...
On this day, on a southbound train, unlike the bustling crowds on ordinary trains, there were not many passengers on this train, and the carriage could even be described as empty.
The once bustling Suijiu-Kowloon train was like this many years ago - without many passengers. Children can even run and play in the empty carriage.
Most of the few passengers in the carriage were looking out the window with joy on their faces, wishing that the train would sail into Hong Kong and Kowloon immediately. Most of them had husbands in Hong Kong Island, and they had to go through many twists and turns before they were allowed to take their children to Hong Kong Island to reunite with their husbands.
It is rare that there is a neat family of guests. Of course, there are exceptions to everything. In a carriage, a young man in his thirties wearing glasses was pointing out the window and looking at the people on the side. said the child.
“Look, after a while, you should pass the security guard, then cross the road and bridge, and you will reach the boundary of Hong Kong and Kowloon.”
The child asked with some confusion.
“Dad, why do we go there!”
“It’s for a better job. Hong Kong Island is the land of our Tang people. Now it’s occupied by the British. We’re there. , is to carry out the work better and take back our land in the future."
When Cheng Anjie spoke, his eyes were constantly looking at the other end of the carriage, where a family was sitting, and that family was from the north. With his accent, he was careful not to speak or even walk in the car since he got in the car. Only the woman occasionally went to get a glass of boiled water. Although their children kept licking their lips when they saw him eating, several children , but they didn’t dare to speak. The look of malnutrition made people heartache.
Finally, the train entered the station. After the train entered the station, in addition to the police, there were also border guards on the station. The border guards began to check the documents. When the police checked the family, , Cheng Anjie observed them with vigilance. When he saw them taking out their blue passports, he couldn't help but be stunned. His face was full of doubts, and he said to himself:
"Foreigner?"
The man wearing glasses looked a little nervous when he handed the passports of himself and his family to the border guards.
“Nanyang people?”
The border guard frowned and muttered:
“How come there are so many Nanyang people passing by all day long now.”
Even so, after comparing the photos, he nodded and returned the passport to them.
A few minutes later, the train departed again.
About half an hour later, when the train was about to enter the railway bridge, the police officer and the border guard at the door jumped off the slow-moving train. At this time, the train was moving very slowly.
Almost as soon as he passed the railway bridge, the man wearing glasses seemed to let out a sigh of relief and sat back in his seat.
A few hours later, the train finally pulled into the Hong Kong and Kowloon Railway Station. When the passengers on the train walked out of the station and happily reunited with their families who came to greet them, another family stood just like that. Outside the station, their expressions looked a little dazed, completely at a loss for what to do. Different from others, Cheng Anjie, who was carrying his wife and children, was obviously familiar with the road. He greeted his wife and took the children while walking towards the tram stop.
At this time, none of them knew that this was the last Suijiu passenger train. From then on, the passenger train was stopped.
Looking at the sparse passengers, a reporter standing outside the station picked up his camera and took a few photos, including the confused family.
