Luo Jia now rarely drives in person. It is not because his driving skills are inadequate, but because time and energy are not allowed. It is better to lie in the back seat for a while while driving. As the pressure increases, you must deal with it. There are so many things, even if it is just a moment of rest and thinking, it is also very beneficial for Luo Jia.
After putting on the blindfold, Luo Jia entered a meditation state, thinking in a sea of countless documents. Each folder represents a kind of knowledge or inheritance. Some folders also have a second-level directory, a third-level directory, and a quantity. How much depends on the difficulty of inheritance.
Although some folders are huge, Luo Jia has almost never opened them. For example, music and paintings. As a straight steel man with no music cells, Luo Jia's understanding of music is limited to good melody, tunes are more brisk, etc., but To let him distinguish between Tchaikovsky and Beethoven, it basically belongs to playing the piano.
"I still don't have any knowledge about life sciences." Luo Jia frowned as Thought glanced in his mind for a moment.
The sound of Didi always exists in the ear, and the data transmission is never terminated. Almost every day, a new folder is formed in Luo Jia's brain.
However, the knowledge about life sciences is still missing, which makes Luo Jia secretly anxious, wondering whether the golden dome belongs to some kind of mechanical civilization and does not have the genetic science skills necessary for carbon-based life?
It is customary to think that the universe is a question of space, but in fact it is also a question of time.
The universe is really too big. Take Mars as an example. The nearest distance from Earth to Mars is 54.6 million kilometers, and the longest distance is more than 400 million kilometers. An average of 225 million kilometers is calculated. It needs to fly at the speed of light. At five minutes, ordinary aircraft takes almost two hundred days.
It can be seen that if long life cannot be obtained by life science and technology, it is difficult for human beings to really get out of the solar system.
Rocket propulsion fuel is also an important issue at the moment. Luo Jia put aside his fancy thoughts and focused on the two folders of thermodynamics and chemistry. When people concentrate, time always passes quickly, and the car arrives at the main base of the Department of Life Sciences.
In the Wen brothers' office, Luo Jia heard the final report on the immune activation project.
Humans are very vulnerable species in nature, and viruses are the number one problem for humans.
Many people don't know that when a bunch of small pink bubbles grows on your mouth, it's not what Chinese medicine says is getting angry, but you have a viral incurable disease called herpes zoster.
Yes, incurable diseases.
Once the herpes virus is infected, it will stay in your trigeminal nerve for life. If the immune function is reduced due to colds, fatigue, etc. in the future, this virus will invade your tissues under the mucous membrane of the lips and cause herpes labialis.
Prior to immune activation therapy, the strongest drug against herpes virus was called acyclovir, which was developed by the British GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceutical Group, but acyclovir can only destroy the virus in the tissues and is powerless against the virus that is latent in the nerves Once infected, it recurs throughout life.
Immune activation therapy solves this problem once and for all. By forcibly raising the human immune system and purifying the body once, many viruses such as shingles that were originally parasitic in the body will be completely destroyed once and for all.
Of course, any treatment is risky, so immune activation therapy is also divided into many levels. The lowest level of existence is the drug, a genotype drug called golden capsule.
Gold capsules, the most important pursuit of this gene medicine, is safety. Whether it can be completely cured or not, we must first ensure that it is safe to take, and we must not make troubles like the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.
However, due to the focus on safety and the partial curative effect of the Golden Capsule, a higher level of treatment is needed, that is, the hospital system.
Patients with more serious conditions can receive comprehensive treatment in the hospital to maximize the immune defense mechanism to fight against the highly lethal virus led by AIDS and Ebola. If foreign patients need it, they can apply for Huaxia treatment and pay huge fees for the treatment. .
This method greatly alleviates the problem of laid-off medical institutions. With immune activation therapy, the medical system obviously no longer needs to maintain a large team of doctors, and overseas patients provide job opportunities for doctors and nurses, and their income is good. Can be two birds with one stone.
After listening to Wen Chengling's report, Luo Jia nodded with satisfaction.
This matter is mainly promoted by the Ministry of Health. The work of Xingchen Technology is to ensure the production of drugs and to train medical personnel. To some extent, the national team is also the partner of Xingchen Technology, and it is the largest of the partners.
"Very good." Luo Jia said with satisfaction. "In this way, our research and development in the field of immune activation has been completed. Although we need to consolidate the research results and extend to more application areas, those are all It is auxiliary, and the difficulty is not high. "
"According to the original plan, next we are going to start the second step in the four steps of the life sciences, which is metabolism control. What do you think about this?"
The brothers Wen looked at each other, and finally his brother Wen Chengling said, "Of course there are ideas, but mainly time and security issues."
"There is a connection between major projects in life sciences. So far, we have done some pre-research on metabolic control technology. Among them, the progress is relatively good. It is artificially repairing and thickening the dermis to achieve the purpose of anti-aging. . "
Anti-Aging?
This thing is good, my mother definitely likes it.
Luo Jia thought in his heart and urged Wen Chengling to hurry up and talk.
Wen Chengling nodded, "Metabolism control is a huge classification, far more complicated than the activation of the immune system, and we put anti-aging research first, for two reasons, one is medium difficulty, and the second is huge benefits."
"After all, both men and women are beautiful creatures. If you can develop a cosmetic that has a younger face and has anti-aging functions, sales will surely be considerable. Mr. Lu of the Finance Department has been muttering recently. Since the company launched the space program, With increasing funding pressure, we hope to help, based on the golden capsule, come up with a project that can make money quickly. "
Luo Jia takes Wen Chengling's words seriously. People who do n’t care about their face value probably live in dreams. In the real world, you can refer to giant pandas and alligators. They are national-level protected animals. There is a MMP, I do n’t know if I should talk about it.
Face value is justice, this sentence is heartening, but it really is.
Wen Chengling continued: "In the history of the North American Drug Administration, only one anti-aging drug, all-trans retinoic acid, has been approved. However, due to the large side effects of retinoic acid, skin care products are usually not directly added, but vitamin A The retinoids, retinol, have only one-sixth the efficacy of retinoids, but they are more gentle in nature. "
"It has been proven by the laboratory that the only skin care products that can smooth wrinkles and anti-aging are vitamin A or retinol. Everything else that claims to be anti-aging skin care products is either IQ tax or metaphysics."
"We and our colleagues in the department carefully studied the existing skin care system and found that the money in this area is simply too profitable!"
"People are accustomed to calling profit-sharing products IQ taxes, but in the field of cosmetics, they are all taxes. Where's the IQ?"
Uh ~
Luo Jia heard Wen Chengling's words, and almost laughed and sprayed. All the cosmetics were taxed. There was no IQ. The Wen family brothers have been using Star Technology since then, and they seem to be getting more and more straightforward. Will definitely turn his face.
"Did I say something wrong?" Wen Chengling asked Luo Jia with a smile, puzzled.
"No, it's fine, keep going." Luo Jia said.
Wen Chengling nodded slightly and showed Luo Jia a form, "Look at Mr. Luo, IQ tax is not terrible, it is terrible that all foreign companies have taken it away!"
"The world's top ten cosmetics giants, the first is L'Oreal Group. In 2019, they actually collected US $ 31.4 billion in IQ tax. The second-ranked Unilever received 23.5 billion, followed by Estee Lauder, P & G, Shiseido, and Avon. , Coty, LVMH, Byersdorf, Johnson & Johnson. "
"The top ten cosmetics companies in the world, no Chinese company, Shanghai Jiahua, Po Laiya, Galan, Royal Family, all four domestic brands together, sales just over two billion US dollars, less than 15% of L'Oreal First, the gap is too great. "
"If the cosmetics field also belongs to a kind of hegemony, then this is the absolute western rule forbidden zone! This status quo must be broken! If IQ taxes are to be collected in the cosmetics field, we can only collect them!"
It ’s pretty cool that the Wen brothers are so mad ...
Wait, they seem to be learning from me, making R & D plans, except that they don't like to use whiteboards, everything else is too similar. They also collect data first, do market research, industry analysis and so on.
However, this is also good, which shows that they really care about the management of the life science department. The two old men led a team to study cosmetics, which is very difficult for them.
In the blink of an eye, many thoughts flashed in Luo Jia's heart, and Wen Chengling's introduction continued.
"Human skin is divided into three layers, the epidermal layer, the dermal layer, and the subcutaneous tissue."
"We are going to focus on the dermis layer. The main function of this layer of skin is to store water and use collagen and elastin to keep the skin elastic. In addition, the dermis layer also controls secretion and nutritional functions and is responsible for transporting and replacing nutrients in the epidermis. "
"The state of the epidermal layer is actually determined by the dermal layer. Collagen and elastin will gradually be damaged, hardened, and broken over time ~ EbookFREE.me ~ This will lead to loose reticular network structure, The formation of depressions, wrinkles and sagging on the skin surface, the skin naturally ages. "
At this time, Wen Chengfeng excitedly interjected: "Yes, yes, according to our experiments, repairing and thickening the dermis layer can solve the problem of epidermal aging and wrinkles once and for all, and create a youthful feeling of collagen-filled skin.
"Anyway, the thicker the dermis, the better. Those who are younger than their peers are not necessarily born with natural beauty. They are more likely to have thicker skin."
Thicken your face with metabolism control technology?
It is indeed a scientist of Xingchen Technology. I am afraid that the straight male cancer of the Wen brothers is quite serious.
So what's the name of this cosmetic?
Cheek beauty cream?
I went to describe a kind of high-tech destined to be a sensation in the world. The Wen brothers are really talents.
Luo Jia was speechless, pondering in her heart.
