Chapter 445 Approval for Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

Meanwhile, at the weapons research institute's residential compound.

Jiang Haoan and his wife also saw the news report on TV.

Because of the outbreak, everyone is paying close attention to the situation.

Everyone is praying that there will be no cases of the disease in their city.

In this day and age, the only way to find out this news is through television.

During this time, Jiang Haoan was tormented by Jiang Ting's imprisonment, but he was unable to get her out.

My son is currently in high school in our hometown, and he can only come to the capital after he gets into university.

At his age, he should be enjoying the blessings of his children and grandchildren, but now one of his daughters is in prison and another has severed ties with him.

He shouldn't have treated his two daughters differently because of Jiang Ning's attitude.

Whenever he thought of this, he felt a pang of regret.

If he hadn't severed ties with Jiang Ning, at least he would have a daughter by his side now.

But what's done is done, and there's no point in thinking about it anymore.

However, not long after Jiang Ting was imprisoned, China was hit by a terrible epidemic.

They were also worried that an epidemic might spread.

Although the weapons research institute has strict controls, it is not possible to completely isolate the disease.

Just then, a familiar voice came from the television. Upon hearing the voice, Jiang Haoan and his wife turned to look at the television at the same time.

On the television screen, Jiang Ning was speaking eloquently to a reporter's questions. She was being interviewed, and there were images of people infected with the disease accompanying her.

When he heard Jiang Ning say that a medicine for the Black Death had been developed, his eyes widened.

They even wondered if there was something wrong with their ears.

Did Jiang Ning develop a medicine to treat the epidemic?

On the television screen, Jiang Ning's beautiful face remained focused on the small screen.

With a smile in his eyes, he spoke eloquently, using many medical terms they couldn't understand.

Jiang Haoan stared at Jiang Ning on the television, his mind racing, unable to hear anything anyone else was saying.

All that is known is that Jiang Ning developed a special medicine that can treat the epidemic.

The pandemic crisis has been completely resolved.

The one who resolved this crisis was a young doctor who was only in his early twenties.

And it doesn't use Western medicine, but traditional Chinese medicinal herbs.

Jiang Haoan stared blankly at the television.

He has made contributions to the country and already has honors to his name, but no one can ever have too many honors.

This honor should have belonged to the Jiang family.

But he himself pushed that honor away.

After interacting with Jiang Ning a few times, he gained some understanding of her personality.

It's not like he'll shamelessly come to Jiang Ning's door to claim kinship and expect her to accept him.

He couldn't help but recall the first time he met Jiang Ning after he returned; back then, her attitude wasn't as bad as it would become later.

He visited Jiang Ting several times, hoping she could forgive what she had done. It was on these issues that Jiang Ning's attitude changed, leading her to sever ties with him.

Despite the myriad thoughts that swirled in my mind, in the end, all that remained was a deep sigh.

With kinship severed, he said nothing more. Jiang Haoan got up, turned off the TV, and went back to his room to lie down.

What good will it do if he regrets it?

The Black Death could be controlled with traditional Chinese medicine decoctions, but these decoctions were difficult to transport in large quantities to other regions.

No matter how quickly the epidemic is controlled in the capital, it still has an incubation period. If someone who has been in contact with an infected person leaves the capital during that period, it could lead to other areas also being infected.

Before the Black Death manifested, the infected people were unaware that they were infected.

Then the entire nation could be at risk of infection.

Traditional Chinese medicine decoctions are difficult to preserve and transport.

People infected in other regions are unlikely to come to the capital for treatment.

On the way to the capital, countless healthy people may be infected.

The country has also attached great importance to this outbreak.

Since we cannot control the spread of the virus among people in the incubation period, we must address the root cause of this problem.

Once the government approves the funding, the funds will be directly deposited into the account of the 615 Military Hospital, which will then produce the medicine and distribute it to other regions.

To ensure that all people in the country could access the medicine and prevent the spread of the Black Death.

In matters of great importance, China always prioritizes protecting its people.

As a patriot, Jiang Ning said she would try her best to save money for the country.

However, if the Chinese medicine decoction is prepared and then transported to various regions, there are two problems: firstly, the cost, and secondly, the demand is too large, leading to transportation issues.

The epidemic broke out too quickly at the time, and there was not enough time, so the most primitive method of decocting Chinese medicine was used.

Now that the epidemic in the capital has been brought under control, she can also take some time to improve the formula. If the medicine can be made into lightweight and easy-to-transport pills, it will save a lot of labor in transportation.

It would take some time to change the formula into pills. Jiang Ning taught the two doctors, Liu and Lü, how to control the heat when decocting the Chinese medicine, as well as some special techniques.

Three days later, she finally succeeded in changing the Chinese medicine decoction into Chinese medicine pills. Because it needed to be produced in large quantities, she needed to cooperate with a state-owned pharmaceutical factory in the capital.

There are many people in the hospital, but there are also many patients. They can't just focus on developing pills and ignore the patients in the hospital.

The state-owned pharmaceutical factory also received instructions from the top national leaders, who indicated that they would fully cooperate.

For the next two weeks, Jiang Ning stayed at the pharmaceutical factory, overseeing every step of the pill development process.

Saving the people was of utmost urgency. It took half a month for the state-owned pharmaceutical factory to finally be able to produce the pills independently.

Dean Kong had some reservations about handing over the formula and research methods.

With more people knowing the formula and development method, there is always a possibility that the formula will be leaked.

Jiang Ning knew how much Dean Kong cared for her.

She smiled and reassured Dean Kong, "Dean, don't worry, have you forgotten that we've applied for patents for all our Chinese medicinal herbs?"

Dean Kong racked his brains for a long time, still puzzled, "What does applying for a patent for Chinese medicinal herbs have to do with your formula being leaked?"

Jiang Ning smiled calmly, "If the formula is leaked, they'll need to buy medicinal herbs, right? Not only that, they'll also need to pay our country's customs duties and business taxes. Medicinal herbs are much cheaper than finished medicines, but if you add the taxes and the time it takes to brew the medicine, they'll find that it's not as cheap as the finished medicines."

"Besides, once the Black Death is under control, the chances of it breaking out again are not high, so this formula is not that important."

After listening to Jiang Ning's words, Dean Kong immediately looked enlightened.

He hadn't thought that far ahead; he just didn't want Jiang Ning's hard-earned formula to be stolen.
