Chapter 70
Ying Zhao and Ji Wenxue checked back and forth five times in total, and only went to find Wan Di with the information after making sure it was accurate.
As Wandi looked at the data report, Ying Zhao and Ji Wenxue exchanged a glance, feeling as if they were handing in homework to a teacher. Wandi's expression didn't reveal her thoughts; they simply waited with anticipation and anxiety.
As Wandi looked at the data, time seemed to stand still. Every second seemed so long, and the silence only made her heart pound. The longer Wandi looked, the more nervous she became.
Ying Zhao withdrew his gaze from Ji Wenxue and looked at Wan Di. His expressionless face suddenly reminded him of someone, Di Si.
Then she remembered something: when Wandi attacked Disi, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, even applauding. They only wanted to win, and everything else was put aside.
However, now that everything has returned to normal and peaceful life, people are gradually developing completely different views from what they did then.
A mother kills her own child.
Such behavior is shocking no matter where it happens. Wandi is already under the spotlight, and these days, such incidents have become a topic of conversation for people to demonstrate their rationality and thinking.
"How could you be so cruel to your own child? We've been together for so long, yet you can't feel any compassion when you see a face that looks exactly like your own?"
"I really admired Wandi at that time. If she hadn't done anything at that time, wouldn't we have been led away by the men in black?"
"As a leader, Wandi is indeed excellent, and even killing her son shows a sense of the overall situation. But maybe I'm still weak, and I think this is a bit too cold."
"How can someone who wants to do great things be limited to his own personal feelings? Besides, Didi wasn't a good guy. Didn't everyone find him annoying back then?"
"Now that Dee is dead, we're all talking about this. If Dee had chosen the child, we wouldn't be alive to say this."
“…”
Everyone was discussing it privately, with different opinions. Ying Zhao herself had heard it many times. She didn't believe that Wan Di hadn't heard anything at all.
It’s just that controversial events are inherently difficult to reach a consensus.
Ying Zhao was observing everything from the outside. Deep down, she refused to discuss the matter. Perhaps her assessment should be objective, but she knew more than anyone else. Honestly, she couldn't completely distance herself from her relationship with Wan Di.
It's impossible to satisfy everyone in this world. It's just a matter of choosing what's important and what's not. Those who try to please everyone will only end up losing themselves and earning everyone's dissatisfaction.
Meeting other people's expectations is a shackle on yourself.
Ying Zhao learned this from Wan Di, so he just wanted to support Wan Di's decision and didn't want to discuss whether it was right or wrong.
"Well, the data is good. Great work. You finished it so quickly. I guess you haven't had a good rest recently. Thank you for your hard work."
Wan Di finally spoke, and Ji Wenxue and Ying Zhao both breathed a sigh of relief. Smiles appeared on their faces.
"The data this time looks better than last time. It makes me so happy." Ying Zhao sighed again. Seeing that things were thriving, and thinking about how they had come from nothing to where they are today, anyone would be proud of them.
Wandi also curled the corners of her mouth, "Indeed."
"But where do we conduct the first experiment? How do we find volunteers?" Ji Wenxue raised her next pressing request. Simulating data alone wasn't enough; the effectiveness of this method required at least three clinical trials.
Ying Zhao also began to think seriously. This was indeed a problem, and everyone fell silent for a moment.
The idea is good, but the side effects of new drugs on the human body are completely unknown. There may be people willing to dedicate themselves to science. However, the thought of asking these partners who work with them day and night to do such a dangerous thing makes them feel heartbroken.
Ji Wenxue secretly glanced up at Wan Di. She was actually curious about what Wan Di was thinking. The sisters on their planet, Di, were relatively few in number, but their physical fitness was generally good. The population of Mouth Planet was moderate, but due to the planetary environment, their bodies evolved in different directions, making their mouths and digestive systems much stronger than others. Then there was Yavas, an older planet whose female bodies were malnourished, but the largest population.
It's not easy to choose between different situations. People are always selfish. Ji Wenxue herself hopes that her sisters in Tiqiu will be vaccinated after ensuring the effectiveness of the new drug.
Although she had her own ideas, Ji Wenxue's expression didn't seem much more relaxed. This was because she understood that the reason she made such an easy decision was precisely because she didn't have the power to make decisions. Without power and responsibility, she could ignore everything and just do what she wanted.
"The selection of experimental personnel adopts the planetary ratio system. They are drawn according to the different proportions of the population of each planet, and finally the first batch of experimental personnel are determined." Wan Di quickly gave a plan.
Although people sometimes have different opinions on Wati's approach, Wati is clearly a natural leader. The orders she issues are all carried out efficiently and accurately in every place within her territory.
Ying Zhao took the order and started to do it.
Things were progressing even more smoothly than she had imagined. The preliminary preparations had been thorough, so no serious abnormalities were observed during the clinical trials. Symptoms like diarrhea and dry mouth were all considered normal.
After three clinical trials, the new drug can finally be promoted directly, but another important problem immediately arises.
"We can now produce both vaccines and pills, and there's no technical problem. However, the cost of producing these drugs won't decrease with mass production; it will actually increase. If we want to provide them to everyone on the planet, funding is a major issue."
Ying Zhao quickly wrote down the numbers on a piece of paper. "If we need to recoup our investment, then the cost of the medicine that everyone will need to pay will be huge. This means that many people will definitely not be able to accept the new drug."
As Ying Zhao put pen to paper, an astronomical figure was circled on the paper. The price was almost equivalent to that of a high-end warship.
Wandi put his fingers on his chin and thought. The purpose of producing medicine is to benefit everyone. Such an expensive price is absolutely unacceptable.
My mind continued to ponder the populations of various planets, the cost of medicine, and the treasures of the national treasury. Strings of numbers swirled in my mind like fish, weighed against each other's pros and cons.
