Rebirth 1975: Tore up the call-back order at the beginning

The fact that Zhou Yang wanted to develop a lipid-lowering drug quickly caused a sensation in the medical laboratory.

Compared with the current national conditions, lipid-lowering drugs are definitely a big joke in China.

Think about it, there are not many people in the country who can eat enough, and most people have very little body fat.

Although some people suffer from hyperlipidemia, the number is very small, and there is no need to spend energy on developing a new drug for them.

However, Zhou Yang is like a bastard who eats the weight - he is determined!

He quickly convened experts and researchers from the drug group to announce his decision, and also formulated a detailed research and development plan.

The most important thing is that he will personally lead the team to develop this drug, and vowed to produce results within a month.

Everyone, including Li Linzhang, was a little confused by his decision to say that the wind is the rain.

But they can only cooperate, there is no way, who makes the current Zhou Yang a favorite in the eyes of the big bosses in the Ministry of Health.

In this way, the research and development plan of lipid-lowering drugs was determined.

But just when everyone thought that Zhou Yang proposed such an unrealistic plan to develop new drugs because of Mr. Guo, Zhou Yang snickered from the sidelines.

His research and development of lipid-lowering drugs is certainly due to Mr. Guo, but in fact, it is more important because of the Sickle Project. Mr. Guo is just a catalyst!

Even without his sudden illness, Zhou Yang would have chosen lipid-lowering drugs with a high probability.

There are three reasons. The first is that the lipid-lowering drug market is huge, especially in Europe and the United States, where the market scale far exceeds that of general drugs.

This can be seen from the performance of Lipitor after its listing. Since its listing, the commercial achievements of Lipitor have amazed the industry.

In just 20 years, Lipitor has accumulatively brought in $1644.3 billion in revenue for the company behind it, Pfizer, and is currently the best-selling drug in history.

Although in 2014, the appearance of Humira broke the single-year highest sales record created by Lipitor, Lipitor is still the only drug in the world that has sold the first in the world for ten consecutive years, becoming a myth in global drug sales.

It is even regarded as an absolute symbol of the "golden age" of the world's pharmaceutical industry - when it comes to the "Lipitor era", it means huge investment, multiple huge returns, and "blockbuster" discoveries on the scientific coordinates , Fame and fortune.

Secondly, the curative effect of this medicine is good, the side effect is also small, it is easy to popularize, and it can quickly open up the market.

The last point is that Xiaotian has already developed this drug, and it will produce results soon.

If he can't develop this drug as soon as possible, it won't take long for the patent to be taken by others.

On the contrary, whether it's Humira or Xiaolan Pianer, which Zhou Yang is optimistic about, they are not as nervous as Lipitor in terms of time.

Therefore, the development of Lipitor has become inevitable!

In terms of project development, Zhou Yang is an absolute "impatient".

Now that the project has been decided, he will not hang around slowly, not to mention that Mr. Guo is still waiting to use this medicine.

Therefore, after letting Li Linzhang and others make some simple preparations, they led them into the laboratory.

......

However, when Zhou Yang was busy leading people to study lipid-lowering drugs, the temperature in the Saibei area suddenly played a joke on the common people.

After the sudden heavy rain in the afternoon of May 5, the temperature dropped sharply overnight.

The day before was still more than ten degrees above zero, so most people took off their thick cotton clothes and put on thin clothes.

But early the next morning, people were surprised to find that the river channel on the side of Xiaohewan was covered with ice balls.

Moreover, I couldn't even go out in thin clothes, as if I went back to two months ago.

I thought it was just a coincidence, but the temperature did not recover for the next week.

Especially at night, the cooling is more obvious.

Now those production teams who had planted the seeds in advance were stunned. Their crops had just emerged and could not withstand such low temperature freezing at all.

Although the members in many places have also thought of some ways to save the small seedlings in the field, such as setting up large fires around the fields at night.

But compared to hundreds of thousands of acres of land for a production team, this amount of heat is just a drop in the bucket.

Soon there was news that all the new seedlings of a certain production team froze to death, and more than half of the certain production team froze to death...

After receiving the news, the county was angry at the members of the production team for being disobedient and self-inflicted, and at the same time marveled at Zhou Yang's ability to predict things like a god.

You must know that this kind of thing was expected last year, and they were specially reminded.

Fortunately, the county really listened to it and made preparations in advance.

Otherwise, if we still cultivate according to the experience of previous years, the erratic temperature in the past few days is enough to push the people of the whole county into the abyss of eternal doom.

Although some production teams have suffered disasters right now, the number is not many compared to the more than 400 production teams in the county.

All in all, the loss is still within a controllable range.

Afterwards, the county responded immediately. First, according to Zhou Yang's phone call a few days ago, he asked the affected production teams to prepare for self-rescue.

The measure is nothing more than replanting or replanting. Replanting is to supplement the missing seedlings for those fields that have not been completely wiped out.

The replanting is for the completely wiped out fields, that is, plowing the land again and planting other crops.

At the same time, the county also severely punished those production team cadres who made claims.

For a time, the captains and deputy captains of dozens of hundreds of production teams in the county were dismissed, and even many team leaders or team secretaries were dismissed.

Although the scope of influence was not large, it still caused quite a stir in Yunshan County.

However, these did not affect Zhou Yang who was in the laboratory. Although he also noticed these situations, he did not care about them.

After all, he is not the savior, he has done everything he can do.

As for those who are disobedient, they can only say that they are self-inflicted, and he can't control it.

What's more, the laboratory is really busy during this time.

In addition to Zhou Yang's busy research and development of lipid-lowering drugs, Duan Yinzhong and others have also made new breakthroughs. After more than ten days of continuous efforts, they finally isolated a completely different virus from the Rattus norvegicus. strain.

This discovery once again caused the entire laboratory to boil!

So far, they have isolated two different strains of the virus from Apodemus spp. and Rattus norvegicus, which shows that Zhou Yang's previous deduction is correct.

In other words, there is more than one source of hemorrhagic fever virus, there may be house mouse type and field mouse type, and there may even be a mixed type.

But no matter what, there is finally a breakthrough here, which is a huge incentive for everyone in the medical laboratory.

It is also because of this that some people who had complained about Zhou Yang's insistence on researching and developing lipid-lowering drugs all shut their mouths wisely.

Respect the strong and obey the strong, this is the eternal truth.

It's just that different professions have different understandings of the strong. In the eyes of those engaged in scientific research, whoever's research results are more cutting-edge and advanced are the strong.

In this regard, Zhou Yang is undoubtedly the strongest!

Under his guidance, the virus team took less than a month to abruptly break through the research that others have failed to achieve for decades. Who dares to question his ability and his decision?

For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire medical laboratory was unprecedentedly harmonious and united.

At the same time, through the isolation of these two virus strains, Duan Yinzhong, Song Shi and others had a considerable understanding of the hemorrhagic fever strains.

Under such circumstances, the research and development of vaccines has naturally been put on the agenda!
