Chapter 323 Deep Virtual Reality 151

Upon learning of Xie Ning's arrival, Rella had stopped working early and was waiting in the office. However, unlike 083 and 034, she was not as sensitive and could not quickly sense Xie Ning's presence.

"The production here is almost entirely mechanized, with very little manual labor required." So even though they don't have many people, they are able to keep the factory running.

"Moreover, because of 083, the power supply here is stable, and the concealment is very good. Some bad guys from some gangs came to investigate before, but they were all driven away by 034. That kid is very capable."

Rella took Shening around.

"Production of the medicine began last week, and we already have a batch in the warehouse, ready for sale..."

"Okay, I'll take care of that. You just focus on production. By the way, where's Annika?"

I wandered around for a while but didn't see any Anika.

"She's been designing rooms with the kids all night."

Xie Ning followed Ruila to Anika's room. The room was not as big as the apartment in Huarui Technology Company, but Anika was obviously very happy.

When Xie Ning came over, Annika's eyes lit up. She pulled Xie Ning to look at the digital painting in the center of her living room. "Ning, look at this painting, can you believe it? It was painted by a little girl who isn't even as tall as my waist. It's amazing!"

At first glance, the landscape is full of spring colors. Birds of various colors sing in the spring forest, and colorful flowers dot the light green of the earth. The spring sun shines, creating a picturesque scene.

In a gray and hazy world, the world in the painting appears so magnificent and vibrant.

"Who drew this?" Indeed, the world is heavily polluted, and such a scene would only appear in the virtual world of the internet.

"Little Bell!" Annika picked up the little girl in the red dress. "Little Bell is so amazing!"

The little girl had a pair of large prosthetic eyes. She couldn't see the colors of the world before, but after she saw them, she could see green hope through the gray sky.

Xie Ning's gaze fell on the painting full of spring, and she pursed her lips. This land seemed destined to be abandoned because the pollution was too severe, and the living space for humans was becoming increasingly narrow. The scene in the painting was unlikely to become a reality.

Space colonization is the way out that humanity seeks.

“I bought some equipment and parts, and Andrei has already gone to pick them up. If you need anything else later, just let me know, and I will try my best to meet your needs.”

Those items were all purchased through Silvermoon in the dungeon. I don't even know if I could have bought them through official channels.

"good."

After seeing Annika, Xie Ning continued to talk to Rella about the issue of drug production. At this stage, they mainly produce external wound medicine because it is easier to sell. Whether it is sold to the rebels, the federal army, or to others through the dungeon, it is a good choice.

Once she settles down and the factory breaks even, she can start producing other medicines, especially those for diseases caused by environmental pollution. These kinds of medicines will definitely sell well.

To give a simple example, acid rain increases the risk of cancer.

Although the advancement of gene editing technology has increased the chances of successfully curing cancer, the technology is expensive and not everyone can afford it. Therefore, some adjunctive pain-relieving drugs are necessary.

The reason she waited until things stabilized before producing more of these civilian drugs was because she wanted to keep drug prices down.

The price of medicines in this world is slightly higher, possibly due to the reduction in available land and the scarcity of raw materials for medicines.

However, she calculated the cost of Rella making a single vial of the medicine and concluded that many medicines on the market were terribly overpriced.

Xie Ning plans to adopt a strategy of low profit margins and high sales volume. People inevitably get sick, and medicine is a necessity. If people's purchase rate of medicine decreases, she will not worry about her company's medicine not selling.

An improvement in citizens' health levels leads to a decrease in the rate of drug purchases, which is something to be happy about.

Rella was somewhat shocked by Xie Ning's idea, but also felt it was perfectly reasonable. She took out the test data that she had been hesitating about showing to Xie Ning, and said, "Ning, look at this."

Rella listed the drug data she had analyzed on the screen one by one. "These are several drugs on the market. After careful analysis and verification, I found that many drugs have reduced their efficacy."

I don't know if they were unaware of better formulation dosages, but adjusting the dosages of a few ingredients in the formula could optimize the drug's efficacy.

In other words, a disease that would normally be cured with just three pills now requires several times the dosage to fully recover because the effectiveness of the medication has been reduced.

"I see."

Xie Ning lowered her eyes and said nothing more. Medicine merchants are also businessmen, and businessmen pursue profit. Given her current status, there was nothing she could do about it; she could only maintain her original intentions.

The drugs from Ruining Pharmaceutical Company are always the most effective.
