Chapter 147 The Nanny's Niece's Counterattack 147...
Putting everything else aside, he didn't believe she didn't have some on hand.
Indeed, Lin Wei did save some data, but only out of curiosity about the virus. To this day, she still can't understand how such a tiny needle prick could have infected her bloodstream.
Or perhaps she simply didn't find any other bleeding points? Inside the body? She couldn't help but wonder.
But since the pandemic was eventually brought under control, although she was puzzled, thankfully, she didn't want to know as much as she had imagined.
With the support of the government, Angel-13, which she was researching, has been put on sale worldwide and is now being sold out by guns blazing.
Especially in F continent.
Some people had their medication stolen as soon as they received it, while others had it switched during delivery. In F-state hospitals, the supply of medicine was insufficient. No one wanted to die, but it seemed as if the country was forcing them to.
"Why don't we import more medicine from the Flower Country? They sell it so cheaply there, why is it so expensive in our country?"
"You're robbing me!" A group of people protested on the street in F state, holding up flags.
Some people had no choice but to use all their savings to buy medicine, while others could only watch helplessly as they were taken away and waited to die.
Therefore, several riots broke out in F Continent during this period. Although they were all suppressed by the Iron Blood, many casualties still occurred.
Lin Wei had heard about these things before, but there was nothing she could do. She could only help with matters within the country; she couldn't help with matters outside of it. Besides, the government was already offering very reasonable prices for its products sold abroad; these were internal issues.
Why is it that F Continent has such a large population? Even if so many people die, the government won't care, because those people are all poor and can't contribute much to the government or the country.
If you die, you die.
This has resulted in the F state government doing whatever it wants, even though many people are protesting.
Within the Flower Country, when others heard about the tragedies in F Continent, they felt that the people there were inhuman. The government and hospitals controlled the drugs and made profits. How poor must they be? Of all the countries, only F Continent was like this.
If any Chinese or other foreigners are kind-hearted and secretly sell their medicine online, it will ultimately not reach those people.
Because of this, not only did people from F continent propose to stop selling drugs to F continent, but people from Hua country also made the same suggestion.
"Let's make sure none of them have any medication, and see if those government hospitals are scared." You have to understand that those medications don't provide permanent immunity, they're only one-time use. If they get infected again, they'll still get sick.
Since those drugs won't reach ordinary people anyway, it's better for everyone to die together.
Because of this, Huaguo was quite helpful. The cooperation that was being discussed and the price had been agreed upon was canceled before the contract was even signed.
The statement, "Out of stock," left the F Continent government officials completely bewildered.
He doesn't even consider that if the Flower Kingdom truly wanted to make money, why would they lower the prices so much? Their goal is to end the pandemic, isn't it? They're profiting from the medicines produced in the Flower Kingdom; this is a desecration of their pure and innocent hearts.
The F continent government initially didn't take it seriously, thinking they had plenty of drugs and that non-cooperation was fine. However, as time passed and the drugs ran out, people's immunity gradually declined. Some people who were originally in good health died after three rounds of viral infection, even with medication.
The F Continent government finally panicked and began to seek help from the Flower Country, resorting to moral blackmail against them.
"Why won't you sell to our country? Aren't the people of China supposed to be kind and be the friendliest country in the world?"
"fraud."
...
But they didn't care. You have to be polite when you ask someone for a favor. In the end, although Flower Country agreed to sell to F Continent, it was half the original price compared to other countries. They also attached a condition that the original price must be maintained when selling to the people of F Continent. This meant that no matter how much they bought or sold, they would lose money in the end.
It would be even better if they defaulted, then they could claim financial damages.
This was the first time that the Flower Kingdom had reached a cooperation agreement with the people of F Continent without any prior communication. However, the price of victory was also very high, with millions of lives lost in exchange for the lives of tens or hundreds of millions of ordinary people.
But the people of F Continent were smiling. They no longer had to fear being suddenly dragged in and imprisoned, without medicine, silently waiting to die and be cremated.
Some international students from Africa studying in China, upon seeing these news reports, are even more grateful that they insisted on studying in China, otherwise they might not be here by now.
Some international students, whose entire families died in the pandemic, are distraught and filled with hatred for the country where they grew up.
"What kind of lousy country is this? They call themselves guardians?"
She cried her heart out, but it was all too late. The dead are dead; the living can only look forward.
During this period, the biological research team finally developed a disinfectant spray. However, since it is harmful to the human body, everyone was required to stay at home for at least two hours before spraying it.
The sprayers are fully equipped with protective gear to prevent the toxic substances from being absorbed through the skin and causing nerve poisoning. If this agent had to be compared to anything, it would be 10 to 20 times more toxic than dichlorvos.
After learning about this, Lin Wei asked Master Wei, "Is this the only thing we can make? Aren't there any more convenient and safer drugs?" This is too dangerous.
How could someone who created a dangerous virus say it's dangerous?
Old Master Wei: "Everything comes at a price. The medicine we made by sacrificing time can only achieve this much. If we had more time, we could definitely have made something more effective and safer, but unfortunately, we don't have enough time."
"Fortunately, the outbreak point was in Yun City, and the number of infections in other cities was very small, so the key disinfection area only needed to be Yun City, and other places only needed to be disinfected in areas where infected people frequently appeared during that period." This can be considered a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
Because of this incident, Elder Wei praised Lin Wei again, saying with a sigh, "Fortunately, we had you, otherwise the Flower Kingdom would have suffered heavy losses this time."
These old guys weren't unaware of the virus, but they were helpless against it in the short term. It wasn't that they couldn't develop a vaccine, but by the time the vaccine was developed, Yun City would have become a ghost town.
Lin Wei was a little embarrassed by the praise, "I'm lucky, I'm lucky." Who would have thought that anti-tumor virus would be so effective and solve so many problems?
However, Elder Wei still asked her one thing, "Do you know Guo Jianbai?" He didn't mention his position, only his name, mainly because he thought she might know the name, but not necessarily his position.
Lin Wei thought for a moment, and the name sounded familiar, but she couldn't quite place where she had heard it before.
"I think I've heard of such a person before, what's wrong?" She instinctively felt that she needed surgery.
Old Wei: "He recommended you to be a member of the Expert Committee on Disease Prevention and Control of the Ministry of Health." Although she has achieved a lot, she is still young. Logically speaking, she shouldn't be eligible for this position given her current qualifications, but he strongly recommended her.
He wouldn't believe it if there wasn't something going on.
Lin Wei then thought of something, "It seems there was such a person. When I was interning in Sichuan Province, Dr. Chen Yongyuan, the director of cardiac surgery, invited me and Dr. Zheng from Hanshao City to jointly perform a surgery. That patient's identity was quite unusual."
However, Lin Wei didn't ask for anything in return; she didn't even know where she threw that business card away.
Old Master Wei: "Then that's it." At this moment, he marveled at her luck; ability is important, but luck is also quite important. When he was her age, he was still in school.
Old Master Wei was thinking about when to introduce her to some people, so that even though she had those titles, she wouldn't be completely ignorant of everyone.
However, one thing is true: "When are you going to upgrade your education?" A bachelor's degree is still too low. If she wants to advance further, a master's degree is just the minimum; a doctorate would be ideal.
Lin Wei: "I'll think about it some more." She'll most likely take the entrance exam for a part-time master's program, but she still needs to carefully consider her major, the school, and the professors.
Study clinical medicine? What about biology? Study biology? What about clinical medicine? Can't I take the postgraduate entrance exam for both? In the end, Lin Wei searched online and found that part-time postgraduate students can obtain postgraduate degrees in two majors, which put her at ease.
Unfortunately, Professor Wei only accepts doctoral students, so she set her sights on Professor Dou. As for clinical practice, she thought of Director Zheng. However, since it was still early, she wasn't in a hurry.
She was still researching neurotrophic factors, but eventually gave up. It would have been easier for her to create a pseudo-neuron cell than to research that.
Therefore, Lin Wei is currently researching artificial neural scaffolds and stem cell technology.
However, this is also very complex. The performance needs to meet the requirements of biocompatibility, biodegradability, mechanical strength, pore structure, and bioactivity. At the same time, it needs to guide axons to grow in the desired direction, release neurotrophic factors to promote cell proliferation, regulate the microenvironment, and reduce inflammation and infection.
This is not something that can be accomplished in the short term. Therefore, currently, nerve and nerve cell transplantation is indeed the best way to overcome this disease.
Because of this, when Lin Wei entered the simulation room to conduct research experiments, she was performing this surgery. Although in reality she had difficulty obtaining the materials she wanted, the simulation room was capable of anything.
She didn't need to worry about the consequences of a failed surgery, so she went ahead and started.
Unsurprisingly, the first surgery failed, just like the one performed on Chi Boyan. This only reinforces the fact that nerve cells are the most complex cells in the brain, not to mention that they reside in one of the most intricate parts of the human body.
Infection and bleeding are manageable and are relatively low-probability events. So how can we ensure that nerve cells survive after transplantation?
Ultimately, it comes down to differences in the brain environment. Everyone's brain is different, so it's necessary to regulate the microenvironment to make it suitable for nerve cell growth. It's similar to migrating nerve cells out of the brain; you have to store them somewhere. And this storage requires certain conditions and temperature, otherwise they can't survive, or the survival rate is relatively low.
However, instead of this, Lin Wei chose to make the nerve cells stronger, allowing them to adapt to the environment.
