Chapter 461 Overlord
Lin Wen was very happy about the news that the new drug was put into production.
This drug can completely cure cancer.
Except for people with congenital immune dysfunction or immune diseases, cancer can be said to have been eliminated.
How much good karma does this require?
How many souls can you get?
Shouldn't the Council's expensive and crappy medicine be eliminated immediately?
Anmos conducted a simple clinical trial and the results were unimaginably good.
A patient with early-stage lung cancer recovered within a few days, and a patient in the middle stage also improved rapidly. However, the course of a patient in the late stage was longer, with severe fever symptoms, and vital signs needed to be maintained in a special care unit.
This was the result of the immune system fighting frantically against cancer cells, but the doctor in the intensive care unit told Anmos that the patient had no inflammation, indicating that the new drug had completely and accurately marked the cancer cells.
Further research shows that an immune storm is occurring in the patient's body. White blood cells, macrophages, lymphocytes, large cells, dendritic cells, and the entire family are joining forces to frantically attack cancer cells. The countless enemy signals transmitted by the huge number of receptors have caused the entire immune system to enter a violent state of life and death.
The patient is in great danger at this time. He is weak, in urgent need of nutrition, has a fever, and is in a coma. Other pathogens may take the opportunity to invade.
If it were in a natural environment, this person would have died long ago.
But modern advanced medicine and biotechnology gave him a chance to survive.
He had to live in a special intensive care unit, where professional doctors injected him with expensive drugs and purified nutrients every day in a sterile environment, regardless of the cost.
What is really fatal at this time is inflammation.
Inflammation is caused by an overactive immune system. In a state of immune storm, inflammation throughout the body can lead to death in an instant.
However, what Anmos worried about did not happen. The receptor protein he produced was unexpectedly accurate, with a recognition rate of nearly 100% for any type of cancer cell.
By the fifth day, the patient's fever had subsided and he was no longer in danger of death.
After preliminary examination, the patient's cancer cells were reduced by one third. The immune storm was still continuing, but the patient had entered a stable period.
As per convention, Anmos was prepared to conduct a clinical trial lasting at least half a year, but Lin Wen simply slapped a large stack of clinical data, drug tolerance, pharmacokinetics and usage specifications in his face.
“This, this…”
An Moss looked at the detailed instructions and felt as if the drug had already been on the market, but it was Lin Wen who had traveled back from three years in the future and brought back the drug instructions.
He stuttered for a long time before finally asking the question: "Where are you from?"
Lin Wen was surprised and asked, "This is a clinical trial? Otherwise, where would the data come from?"
An Mosi felt like his IQ was being rubbed on the ground by Lin Wen: "I just made the finished product, and you've already completed your fifth phase of clinical trials?"
"Isn't this a normal thing?"
An Mosi felt like his whole body was about to break apart: "How can this be normal? The fifth phase of clinical trials can't be completed in three years?"
Lin Wen curled his lips and said, "That's because you don't understand science. Real science obtains all the drug data before the drug is produced."
An Moss felt completely unwell. Looking at the tiny words as fine as mosquitoes on the pure white paper, he felt that his forty-year pursuit of scientific truth was about to collapse, and the palace of science in the clouds had exploded.
But Lin Wen's next words helped him fix it.
"This is the result of a supercomputer simulation of how drugs work in the human body."
"Well."
Suddenly, Ames believed in science again.
As a scientist, he certainly knew about computers and had read scientists' ideas about the various applications of computers in the future.
Among them is the idea proposed by biologists to simulate the human body on a computer to experiment with the effects of various drugs, viruses, bacteria or surgeries on the human body.
This will greatly accelerate the development of the medical and biological fields.
But that's just a future science fiction.
The human body is extremely complex, and its underlying mechanisms go directly to the atomic and molecular levels, which are impossible to simulate.
"Changshan County already has this technology?"
Anmos' eyes widened.
"Could it be... Is there a supercomputer underground in Changshan County?"
Lin Wen smiled mysteriously and did not answer.
But Anmos himself had already got the answer.
I see.
No wonder Changshan County can do so many incredible things.
Computer technology is known among scientists as the greatest invention in the past hundred years. There are countless fantasies about it, but none of them have been realized so far.
Unexpectedly, Changshan County, which has always been regarded as a backward area, has actually been at the forefront of the times.
Indeed, things cannot be judged by appearance alone.
This must be Changshan County’s biggest secret.
An Mosi was so moved that he almost cried.
It turns out that County Chief Lin trusts me so much.
"I see."
Anmos slapped his chest suddenly.
"I promise to keep it a secret. I won't tell anyone."
Lin Wen wisely avoided the topic: "Hurry up and start mass production."
An Mosi's expression turned serious, and he asked earnestly, "Chief Lin, is this medicine really only ten thousand?"
"right."
"However, the preparation of enzyme No. 281 is extremely expensive, and the hydrolysis efficiency is not very high. Every 100 grams of enzyme can only produce 1 gram of standard receptor protein. I calculated that the actual cost is around 800,000 yuan. This is because you directly saved us a huge amount of R&D expenses. Otherwise, this drug could cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan."
Lin Wen said casually: "Do as I say."
"but."
Anmos thought he needed to remind County Governor Lin.
"There are 24 million cancer patients in the empire, with 4 million new cancer patients last year. More than 90 percent of them are poor."
"Our medicine is more effective than any other drug in the world and has reached the level of a miracle drug."
"Even if we sell it at a loss at 10,000 yuan per dose, the market demand is extremely tight, and the price of the drug will inevitably be driven up to a point where it is beyond the reach of ordinary people."
"I know you're kind, but this won't help the poor. It will only benefit scalpers and speculators."
Lin Wen casually said, "Wouldn't it be enough to expand production capacity?"
An Mosi shook his head slightly. "At least one million units need to be produced per month for the market to maintain some sanity. If we lose 800,000 per unit, how much more will we lose on one million units?"
"Eight hundred billion?"
An Mosi smiled and said, "Headmaster Lin, do you understand?"
Lin Wen nodded: "I understand. Then let's produce two million per month."
"Haha, County Magistrate Lin is truly a brilliant young man. He understood everything after just a little guidance. Economic laws cannot be violated; everything must follow the objective laws of things. Medical research and development also costs money. Without investment, how can there be output? If selling drugs meant losing money, then no one in the world would develop new drugs, and the end result would be even worse... huh?"
Anmos suddenly came to his senses and felt like his head was about to split open.
"Lin, County Chief Lin, with two million units, we're going to suffer a net loss of 1.6 trillion!"
Lin Wen shook his head: "Let me ask you, how much is the labor cost?"
"Five, five thousand..."
Lin Wen laughed and said, "We make a net profit of 5,000 per team, which means we make a net profit of 10 billion per month."
Anmos could hardly breathe.
"Doesn't enzyme No. 281 cost money?"
Lin Wen smiled slightly.
"When have I, Lin Wen, ever been paid for something I asked for?"
