Chapter 544: It was a race against time
Just after the end of the third day of the Lunar New Year, while others were still enjoying the festive atmosphere, Gu Yin set off to work at the hospital's experimental center.
"Director, are you busy? How are you? Have you been free these past few days?" Gu Yin greeted the director with a smile as she entered the room and saw him busy at work.
The director looked up, took off his glasses, and smiled, "It's nothing, everything's normal. Why did you come back so quickly? Why didn't you stay home and spend more time with your family?!"
Gu Yin placed the gift box on the director's desk: "Three days is enough. It wouldn't be appropriate to stay any longer. This is a holiday gift for you. It's homemade cured meat and sausages from my family, along with some fruit. Please take it back and have a taste!"
The director quickly stood up and refused, saying, "This is inappropriate! Take it back right now!"
Gu Yin waved her hand: "It's okay! It's not illegal, it's just a New Year's gift. My teacher has one too, and everyone else has one. Don't worry. You've been working for several days in a row, go back and rest. I'll keep an eye on things here!"
The director didn't refuse. His wife had been bringing him meals and keeping him company for the past few days, and he hadn't been home for several days. If Gu Yin's experiment passed, she would enter the third phase of clinical trials, and they wouldn't need to help her much anymore.
"Okay, I'll head back now. Just give me a call if you need anything!"
Gu Yin nodded.
After the director left, Gu Yin changed her clothes and took a walk around the experimental center. Among the healthy volunteers who had been vaccinated, none of them were infected after spending two weeks with the patients. Among the healthy volunteers who had not been vaccinated, half of them were infected after spending one week with the patients. Now, no one has escaped infection.
After recording the data, Gu Yin had others administer the vaccines to the patients, and then returned to the lab to begin writing the report.
I didn't finish writing until evening. After verifying that there were no problems, I sent it to Professor Cheng for his review. Only after he approved it did I send it up.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Gu Yin was summoned to Base 101.
When Gu Yin arrived, Old Master Cheng was also there.
The old leader handed the document to Gu Yin: "Your application has been sent to me. I've looked at your report and experimental data. Professor Cheng has also vouched for you. But from the start of your research project to now applying for market approval, the time has indeed been much shorter. We're all acquaintances and know your abilities, but outsiders and patients don't know. In the end, not only you, but even the hospital's experimental research center that approved you, your teacher's experiments, etc., will be investigated. So send the samples to the base for verification. It will take about a week. If there are no problems, we'll produce it for you and put it on the market. Or you can have your own pharmaceutical factory that you're satisfied with and produce it yourself. The government is backing you up, so no one will dare to doubt you. What do you think?"
Gu Yue was extremely moved: "I'm willing! Thank you, leaders! Thank you, country!"
The old leader smiled and said, "The country will not let down capable people. Keep up the good work! The future belongs to you!"
Gu Yin nodded, and as she was about to leave, she looked at her old leader: "Sir, has our Instructor Lan returned yet?"
Lan Yan packed his things and went on a mission before the New Year. He left before he was fully recovered, taking a few life-saving pills from Yao Lao. He said he was going to the neighboring country to find that old lady and see if she was doing it intentionally or unintentionally. He hasn't returned since, and there's been no news of him.
The old leader smiled and said, "Everything is safe, don't worry."
Gu Yin nodded upon hearing this and did not ask any further questions.
After leaving the base, Gu Yin went back to the hospital to get the samples, and then returned to the base. The researchers were already waiting, and as soon as the samples arrived, they took them into the laboratory.
Professor Cheng looked at Gu Yin: "After this experiment is approved, you basically won't need to follow up all the time. Have any new research topics emerged?"
Gu Yin nodded: "I want to do research on targeted drugs. The shingles eradication vaccine also eradicates tumors with drugs based on regenerated cells. As long as there are no problems with the genes in the human body, and all kinds of cells are healthy or can grow rapidly, targeted drugs can be used to stabilize them, allowing immune cells and tumor cells to fight each other. My immune cells are constantly renewing and regenerating, and the tumor cells cannot spread under the control of targeted drugs. At this point, it will be a one-sided battlefield for the immune cells! Then a cure will only be a matter of time. I think many tumor problems will no longer be problems by then! As for cell regeneration, I dare not lose to them because I am very skilled, but I already have a foundation. Give me some time, and I will definitely be able to do it!"
Old Cheng sighed: "You know, these drugs have been researched all along, and new people are constantly joining this unlikely experiment. Many people dedicate their entire lives to it. Aren't you afraid of wasting your time in the end?"
Gu Yin even shook her head: "Teacher, this is not a waste of time, this is a race against time! As long as there is even a little progress, it can alleviate a lot of the patient's suffering! This is already a huge step forward! There is no such thing as wasting time when researchers conduct experiments! Even if I am old and gray and these drugs have not been developed, I will not regret it! But I believe that day will never come!"
Professor Cheng smiled and patted her shoulder: "I believe in you. Go back and write the report. I'll take a look at it after you hand it in. If there are no problems, then you can start preparing! Will you be doing it in our lab or at the factory near your home?"
Gu Yin blinked: "Such an important experiment, once the results are available, will definitely need to be reported. If it's done in my family's lab, all we'll get are some certificates and honorary titles. But if we do it in our own lab and it works, once the drug is on the market, 2% of the profits will be mine. I'm not stupid! I'm just an ordinary person; I want money and fame too!"
"You, you, you're more like a businessman than a researcher! Businessmen only care about profit! You're ignoring the professor's approval of your decision! Our lab will benefit from it later! Go back, go back and write your report!"
Gu Yin nodded, said goodbye to Professor Cheng, and returned to the laboratory to work through the night.
After writing the report, I went into the system lab to conduct experiments until I was ejected by the system.
After sending the application report to Professor Cheng, Gu Yin checked the time and realized it was already past 2 a.m. She was starting to feel hungry.
There used to be food in the lab, but because of the Lunar New Year holiday, a lot of the food was cleared out, so the lab is now empty and there's nothing there.
Helpless, Gu Yin got up and went downstairs. There was a 24-hour convenience store at the school gate that sold food. There was also a convenience store inside the school, but it wasn't open 24 hours a day.
The guards downstairs were still there, and when they saw Gu Yin come down, the four of them greeted her.
"Where are you going so late, Zhou?"
Gu Yin explained, "I'm hungry, and there's no food in the lab, so I'm planning to go to the school gate to buy some. Do you want to buy anything? I'll bring it back for you."
All four shook their heads. One of them said, "It's so late now. It's not safe for a girl like you to go out alone. I'll go with you."
Gu Yin wanted to refuse, but seeing their reaction, she nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you!"
As soon as the two arrived at the entrance of the laboratory building, they saw a black sedan parked there. When it saw the two come out, the car lights turned on.
Gu Yin glanced at the car and saw it was the Gu family's car. She quickened her pace and said, "It must be my family coming to pick me up."
The guards quickly followed her forward.
