Professor Cai's house was full of friends and guests.

Professors Tang Zhong and Wang Yong who Yang Rui is familiar with, Professor Lu Yueping and Professor An Linhai who are not so familiar with, and Professor Wu Hongbo and Professor Shen Xingde who are completely unfamiliar are sitting in the living room. They couldn't fit in the room and had to lean against the door frame, or simply sit in the kitchen, in the hallway, or on the balcony.

Yang Rui received the treatment of the stars, and was pushed to the middle of the living room, sitting next to the coffee table to talk. In contrast, Dean Liu could only sit aggrievedly in a bedroom facing the coffee table. Several people looked at the center pitifully.

"Yang Rui, you are treated like a teacup. Don't be too polite, drink some water first." Professor Wu Hongbo is also a member of the academic department and works in the Institute of Genetics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. His words were a little joking.

Yang Rui looked down, and sure enough, some people were holding big tea mugs and teacups, and some people had bowls in front of them, obviously the cups were not enough.

Academician Cai coughed and said, "Don't listen to Lao Wu's nonsense, there is no distinction here."

Tang Ji smiled and said: "I just said, I should be treated like a small bowl anyway."

Yang Rui looked back, and there was a soup basin directly in front of Tang Ji.

Several people laughed out loud.

Academician Cai cupped his hands and said, "Forgive me." Then he said: "The little grandson came over these few days, and his grandma was afraid that he would smash all the glasses, so she packed them up and stuffed them under the bed."

"It belongs to the youngest son?" Wu Hongbo asked, "Is he going to elementary school soon, and not sent to kindergarten?"

Academician Cai said with a smile on his face: "Go to the kindergarten too, and I will teach him when I have time. The kindergarten teacher has been teaching mathematics for half a year. I said, why not take advantage of these two days to enlighten my grandson. I teach Chinese a little bit. Not enough, Russian, English and mathematics are still possible.”

"I've been free for the past two days, right? It's all Yang Rui's fault." Wu Hongbo joked with a smile.

"Blame Yang Rui!"

"It's all Yang Rui's fault!" Several people took advantage of the chaos to boo.

Yang Rui didn't expect all the guests to look like middle school students, so he said helplessly, "Who can explain clearly about the laboratory."

"It's a bit too fast to make a new drug in two months." Qing Zhiyong, a researcher at the Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, is leaning on the heater. Unlike a professor in a university who can't see clearly through the window, he often It is necessary to connect with pharmaceutical factories in various places, so I am very familiar with the difficulty of making a new drug today.

If China in the 1950s had the current level of biological research, it would still have some spare capacity in the boom in the development of antibiotics, but in 1984, China's ability to develop new drugs was too weak, especially its competitiveness. Even if you have spotted a target and expect it to be done in ten or twenty years, no one dares to do it, because if you achieve half of it, other companies may take the lead in making it. If so, the initial investment will be as high as All blind.

Therefore, time is a very critical factor.

It took only two months for Yang Rui to complete the pre-clinical process. In the eyes of professionals like Qing Zhiyong, it is basically equivalent to "I'm going big!"

Yang Rui has answered countless similar questions, and he smiled shyly and said "good luck" and then kept silent.

Anyway, what you think is up to you.

Qing Zhiyong shook his head and said, "Why didn't we encounter good luck?"

"In my opinion, there is a problem with our mechanism. Why did Sinovel Labs dare to invest?

Willing to invest, and finally be able to make it? "A professor unsurprisingly raised institutional issues. Nowadays, this is a fashionable topic, just like housing prices 30 years later, even if you don't care about it at all, you can still say one, two, three, five, four, five.

Professor Shen Xingde looked like a frail scholar. He took off his glasses, wiped them with the corner of his clothes, and said, "We can't completely blame the system. Our research funding is only so small. If we restructure the system, can we change the funds? How can we use the limited funds?" It is the responsibility of our generation to make valuable achievements with funds. In the future, for example, in the 21st century, when our country achieves a moderately prosperous society, our four modernizations have achieved results, and funds have increased, how to use a large amount of funds to make It is the responsibility of Xiao Yang's generation to produce fruitful research."

"Professor Shen is right. Our generation has not caught up with the good time. Young people like Xiao Yang are the ones who have really achieved results."

"Yes, it is too risky to learn from Huarui to do scientific research now."

"With young people like Yang Rui, our country's biology can be regarded as successors."

Several people were talking with Yang Rui as the center, but the topic slowly ran away, talking about development, the future, and the cultivation of successors...

Yang Rui felt a little uncomfortable listening. Apart from him, the youngest scholar here is over 45 years old. Some scholars talk about the successors who are not students, but lecturers or even associate professors who have reached their thirties.

Sitting in such a room, I have to say that Yang Rui is still a little stressed.

"Yang Rui is here?" In the kitchen, Academician Cai's wife was busy wiping her hands on her apron, and when she came out, she looked up and down at Yang Rui.

"Hello." Yang Rui stood up quickly, not knowing how to address him for a while. Auntie by age? It doesn't seem right, it's too natural to call Mrs. Cai, and to call her sister-in-law...the age gap is even bigger.

"You can just call me Dr. Li. Let's talk about our own." Mrs. Cai seemed to know Yang Rui's hesitation, and said with a smile: "I heard that Yang Rui from Peking University is handsome, but I didn't expect him to be so handsome. You are from Hedong. , eat noodles?"

"Oh, Hedong eats noodles." Yang Rui was a little confused.

"Then you can eat noodles. The noodles I make are not bad. If you don't eat noodles, there is nothing you can do. Scoop the rice yourself." Dr. Li yelled at the last sentence, and then said: "Everyone eat something, I I ordered some cold dishes."

Some people are polite, while others stand up consciously and go to the kitchen to get things.

After a while, everyone had noodles and rice in front of them. In addition, luncheon meat, husband and wife's lung slices, cold fungus, and bean curd mixed with cucumber mixed with four-color platters were scattered all over the room, ensuring that everyone had them in front of them.

"Eat whatever you want, fill your belly, and talk when you're full." Dr. Li filled the house with food and food.

Yang Rui picked up the noodles, sniffed the aroma, and felt a little hungry.

Speaking of which, he was also the one who didn't eat dinner.

The content of the noodles is also very rich. The hand-rolled noodles themselves are very tough. The noodle soup contains eggs, tomatoes, shiitake mushrooms, red peppers, rapeseed and other ingredients.

"Xiao Yang, have another bowl." Doctor Li watched Yang Rui finish his drink, and immediately added another bowl for him.

Yang Rui said "thank you" embarrassingly.

Dr. Li waved his hand and said with a smile: "Young people should eat more, otherwise how can they have the strength to do scientific research? Look at Lao Shen, Professor Shen Xingde, why can't he be a member of the academic department? He is too thin. When he was young, he didn't Eat well, faint after working in the laboratory for a few months, and still faint after persisting for a few weeks, how can you produce results like this.”

When she said that, everyone in the room laughed.

Shen Xingde is a person who is looking to be a member of the academic department, so he can bear such teasing, he just shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "Sister-in-law, I see that you entertain so well every time, if it is someone else, I must argue , I haven’t fainted for four or five years. Besides, when I was young, I wanted to eat well, and I can’t help it if I don’t have one at home.”

"Don't dare to faint anymore." Professor Cai finished eating a bowl of noodles, wiped the puff on his forehead, and said happily: "You are getting older, you should use more experience, don't fight for physical strength, use the opportunity to fight for physical strength Leave it to the young people, right?"

"Yes, you're right, no matter how you say it, I have to wait for the next selection of faculty members." Shen Xingde raised the bowl and said, "Sister-in-law, give me another half, I'm not polite."

"You're welcome." Dr. Li scooped up half a bowl of noodles for Shen Xingde with a smile, and then poured thick soup on it.

The whole room was filled with the sound of noodle eating, like a cafeteria.

Wu Hongbo's joking gene was activated again, and he said with a smile: "The members of the faculty and the members of the faculty are also different. If you are in a research institute, you have to find time to eat and drink at the house of the faculty members of the university. Otherwise, At the end of the month, the family will not be able to uncover the pot."

Professor Cai only raised his eyelids lightly, and said, "It's just right, my son is out of Beijing for work, and we are the only two eating at home, so it's better to add you to cook."

Yang Rui couldn't help laughing.

Once upon a time, the owner of the name that he cursed in his heart when he was endorsing the exam before the final exam, now it is so commonplace that they hurt each other, but it was beyond Yang Rui's imagination.

After a light meal, Yang Rui took the initiative to help wash the dishes in the kitchen.

Doctor Li politely asked him to help. In the 1980s, the market was underdeveloped. Except for semi-finished products such as yuba and luncheon meat, all other ingredients had to be processed by themselves. Mrs. Cai had her own job, and she was busy all day, and she was exhausted.

Yang Rui enjoyed such an environment a little bit. This kind of hospitality meal, or working meal, may not be seen in the 1990s. At that time, everyone should be used to going to restaurants or hotels. At least, people like the dean of the Department of Biology of Peking University don’t have to do it at home. dinner.

However, in 1984, it was not possible to be so chic. Now food expenses are the bulk of family expenses. To provide a meal for more than a dozen people with vegetables and meat, I am afraid that it will cost Professor Cai half a month's salary. This is still a professor. If it is an ordinary worker's salary, I am afraid that the whole month's salary will have to be paid out.

Dr. Li seemed to be in a good mood, and he chatted with Yang Rui while washing the dishes, and the content was naturally deferiprone.

Because the other party was a doctor, Yang Rui naturally changed the topic from pharmaceuticals to medicine and medical care.

He described in detail what he had seen and heard in Union Medical College Hospital, as well as his original intention of making medicine.

Dr. Li listened while working, but his movements gradually slowed down.

Yang Rui gradually talked about the similarities and differences between deferoxamine and deferiprone, especially the difference between one needs intravenous injection, that is, drip, and the other only needs to be taken orally.

Finally, Yang Rui talked about the price issue, and said: "I am going to keep the domestic authorization. At that time, the flat patients in our country should be able to use deferiprone at a price close to the cost. The cost of domestic drugs is not high. The synthesis of deferiprone is not difficult. Regardless of whether it enters the list of public medical treatment or not, I think ordinary people should be able to afford it. Preliminary estimates show that the average life span of intermediate and severe patients with hypophysis can be extended by 10 years. Ideally, it can be extended. It can be done in 15 years.”

"If the price can be reduced to a few yuan a month, it will be more than 15 years, and it will be fine for 20 years."

"how come."

"Do you think that all the ground level patients in China can get the same medical conditions as Union Medical College Hospital." Dr. Li said softly, "I don't know the specific price of deferoxamine, but there is a shortage of intravenous drugs in China at present. Not to mention the price of the medicine, it is not cheap to hang a bottle of glucose. If it is a heavy-duty flat, ordinary urban residents can afford medical expenses for two or three years at most. In rural areas, especially families with serious patients, you may not understand..."

Dr. Li said, put down the plate in his hand, and said, "I'm going to get something."

She turned around and left the kitchen door, but she heard a sudden exclamation from the living room: "Sister-in-law, why are you crying?...Yang Rui!"
