The working group started its work on the day the team members reported for duty.
The first thing everyone needs to do is to familiarize themselves with the information, read a lot of literature, find books, read papers, and look for similar and related information as reference.
In addition, all the people involved in the case have been arrested.
How the case is tried or how the person is investigated has nothing to do with them, but people like Fu Ming who have been injected with special blood become their experimental subjects.
We have to provide some blood samples. Studying the periodicity of the virus requires a lot of data and first-hand information.
"Team Leader Jiang, these are the blood samples of several of them. I brought them to you personally."
Si Lu was holding a small box containing various test tubes with labels on them.
Jiang Yan took it personally and said, "Thank you. Go and do your work. I'll call you if there's anything else."
Si Lu's eyes were meaningful, but Jiang Yan didn't look at him and walked into the house carrying the box.
The two men didn't seem to know each other well, and their businesslike demeanor didn't arouse anyone's suspicion.
Zhang Yisheng closed the door and continued to flip through the documents in his hand.
Jiang Yan arranged all the test tubes, then arranged and adjusted the assembled microscope.
Zhao Mingming is the youngest of the six team members. She had just graduated, was young, and lacked clinical experience. Jiang Yan gave the task of record-keeping to her.
“The data requirements must be accurate, including temperature, humidity, time, person in charge, reaction and result.”
Zhao Mingming was a little nervous, but this was a good opportunity for her to learn. She immersed herself in the laboratory with a spirit of research and a very positive attitude.
Everyone knew what kind of problem they had to solve and also knew that time waits for no one, so they all worked hard to achieve some results.
Overtime is a common thing. When I feel sleepy, I just take a nap at the desk in the office. When I wake up, I wash my face and continue working.
It seemed that the moment everyone finished watching the video footage, they made up their minds that they must develop safe and effective vaccines and inhibitors and must crush the conspiracy of the United States and China.
The busy days passed by very quickly. People in Hunan Province had already sent Jiang Yan's things back to Beijing, but Jiang Yan and his friends had not yet reached the threshold of solving the problem.
You know, the research and development of any new drug is full of difficulties.
"Team leader Tu and his colleagues have spent several years researching artemisinin, but we are still only just beginning to get started."
"That's right, don't worry, take your time."
Jiang Yan observed the microscope carefully. The cells in the field of view were active, but the most active one was a virus with horns.
"Zhao Mingming, hurry up and record it, single chain..."
“The structure is simple.”
"The protein shell contains genetic material. Preliminary analysis shows that the virus is highly contagious and latent..."
Zhao Mingming did not dare to be careless and listened carefully to every word Jiang Yan said.
At the beginning, they were really unconvinced by Jiang Yan. She was only in her early twenties and didn't look like she was very good at studying. How could she lead them in research projects? Develop vaccines and new drugs?
The more I think about it, the more unreliable it seems.
But after getting to know her, they found out that they were wrong. Jiang Yan's academic knowledge was the most comprehensive, and her basic skills were the most solid. They had never heard of many books and papers, but Jiang Yan could tell them all about them.
She has a very comprehensive knowledge of clinical medicine, basic medicine, biochemistry, cytology...
It seems like there's nothing she doesn't know.
College students these days are all talented and knowledgeable. They may not be extremely smart, but their IQ is definitely above average.
But compared with Jiang Yan, the knowledge they have learned seems to be a little insufficient. Whenever they encounter a bottleneck, Jiang Yan can always find a breakthrough point, leading them to overcome difficulties and find new research directions.
After just a few days, everyone was convinced and felt that their previous ideas were ridiculous.
"Is there any reaction from the culture medium?"
Zhao Mingming quickly said, "I observed it before and no colonies were formed. Maybe we need to change it again."
"Don't be in a hurry. This kind of thing won't work just because you're in a hurry. Even if you cultivate the bacteria, it may not be useful. Patience is very important."
Zhao Mingming calmed his somewhat restless heart and nodded.
She is obviously a few years older than Jiang Yan, but she is always impatient and wants to achieve results quickly.
"The team leader is right, Xiao Zhao, it's not that easy to do academic research!"
Jiang Yan put down the work in his hands and made a preliminary summary of the viruses he had observed. They mainly acted on the human nervous system. After infection, they could trigger cell reactions, interfere with the normal function of cells, and cause metabolic disorders...
Well, let's observe again.
She tried adding a drop of solution to the slide and soon made a new discovery: the virus would release an inflammatory response, leading to damage to nerve tissue. After infection, it could cause apoptosis of nerve cells, resulting in irreversible damage.
Once neurons are damaged, they are almost irreversible and difficult to self-repair and regenerate, which can lead to the decomposition and degeneration of axons and myelin sheaths.
Therefore, the best way to solve this problem is distal growth and promoting regeneration factors.
"Zhao Mingming, come here and observe."
Zhao Mingming's eyes lit up. She knew that Jiang Yan was going to teach her something, so she quickly sat in front of the microscope with her records.
"Look carefully, what do you see?"
"Ah?" Zhao Mingming exclaimed, "There is an inflammatory reaction. The first to be damaged are the nerve cells...irreversible damage."
Everyone crowded over, wanting to queue up to see it.
"Xiao Zhao, hurry up."
"Wait a minute, I haven't finished reading it yet."
Under the urging of others, Zhao Mingming reluctantly stood up and gave his seat to Huang Qiuying.
"Oh, it's true." Huang Qiuying said in surprise: "Then we have a general direction for our research now."
Speculations cannot be regarded as data. Without support, they must ultimately be based on data.
"let me see."
"That's true... Oh my, this thing reproduces very quickly. Its division speed is more than twice as fast as that of ordinary viruses."
Everyone sees it differently, but Jiang Yan’s previous summary can be said to be very accurate.
"Xiao Zhao, have you recorded everything?"
"I've recorded it. I'm going to apply for a camera later and take photos of all the numbered ones to save. It'll cost a bit of film though."
"Your idea is good. Don't be afraid of wasting film. This is a serious matter." Jiang Yan looked at the time. "Let's go eat first, take a break after dinner, and continue in the afternoon."
"good."
"Team leader, you should go too."
"Well, I'll be late, no rush, you guys go first."
After everyone in the lab left, Jiang Yan wrote a new outline to determine the research direction.
If they continue to be guided in this way, they will soon achieve research results.
There was a knock on the door...
