Chapter 887: The pros and cons of genetic modification

Chapter 910 The Advantages and Disadvantages of Genetically Modified
After all, the comrades of the Health Bureau must know what medicine is the most needed medicine on the market now.
Upon hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, Liu Feng felt very reasonable: "Director Zhao, what you said is that we might as well go to the Health Bureau, so that we know what kind of drugs are urgently needed in the market."
"Yes! If we want to study, we must study the drugs that are urgently needed in the market, so as to demonstrate the special status of our technology."
Zhao Zhongyao also feels that if he studies general drugs, he still cannot see the special status of their technology. If you can study a drug that is urgently needed on the market. It can be seen that their genetically modified technology will have a great effect on this society.
In this way, in the next morning, Zhao Zhongyao took Liu Feng and drove into the city. The two of them inquired about the city health bureau, so they drove to the health bureau.
When they arrived at the Health Bureau, the two of them found two small leaders from the Health Bureau. I asked them what kind of medicine they felt was the most needed medicine on the market.
The two little leaders listened to what they said and thought about it. After all, Zhao Zhongyao's sudden question made people feel a little at a loss.
After a while, one of the small leaders looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said, "I feel that the most needed drug on the market now is an anti-hepatitis B virus drug. This drug, due to its very high production cost, Therefore, it is impossible to mass produce. Now this kind of medicine is very scarce in our small cities. Only big cities have such medicines.
In other words, children in small cities cannot be vaccinated with this anti-hepatitis B virus. In this case, children in some small cities do not have the same health guarantee as children in big cities.
We are thinking now, if anyone can invent a technology that can mass-produce this anti-hepatitis B drug at low cost, he can be said to have made a huge contribution to this society. "
After hearing the words of the small leader of the Health Bureau, Zhao Zhongyao thought for a while and said: "Okay, then we will study an anti-hepatitis B virus. Let us children in small cities also be able to use such drugs."
After speaking, Zhao Zhongyao looked at the little leader and said, "Do we have such drugs in Jianghai City? Do we also need such drugs?"
Zhao Zhongyao also knew that although Jianghai City was a prefecture-level city, it was not a big city at all. In such a second-tier city, I don't know if there are drugs in this area.
Hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, the little leader of the Health Bureau smiled and said,
Sorry, we don’t have such drugs in Jianghai City. We had some before, and we also bought them at a high price from Beijing Flower. Now we give them all. The children of wealthy families have been vaccinated. But even if the price is very high, the supply is in short supply!
You also know that gold is priceless. Regardless of the economic strength of home appliances, in dealing with the growth of the next generation of children, any parent spares no effort to want their children to grow up healthy and healthy. No matter how much money is spent, as long as the children can grow up healthy, the feeling of being a parent is worth it.
When I heard the little leader of the Health Bureau say so. Zhao Zhongyao feels that he has a great responsibility. A new method for mass production of hepatitis B vaccine must be developed. Able to produce a new type of hepatitis B vaccine in large quantities. In this way, all children in the world can be vaccinated with hepatitis B vaccine since childhood, so that they can grow up healthy and happy.
"Okay, let's not develop this new type of vaccine against hepatitis B virus! We want the children in Jianghai City to be vaccinated from childhood." Zhao Zhongyao said while looking at the little leader.
This little leader was very moved when he heard what Zhao Zhongyao said. He looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said, "Expert Zhao, if you can really research a new vaccine against hepatitis B virus, then you have really made a huge contribution to society."
"Well, it is the bounden duty of doctors to save the dead and heal the wounded. And we medical experts should also research out the medicines that are very necessary for this society. This is our own duty, and nothing has made a huge contribution to society. Now." Zhao Zhongyao looked at this little leader and said politely.
After Zhao Zhongyao learned such a piece of information, he returned to Base 308 with Liu Feng.
After returning to the base, Liu Feng couldn’t wait to look at Zhao Zhongyao and said,
Director Zhao, we haven’t run for nothing this trip! We have learned such an important information. Next, we only need to put this new type of The anti-hepatitis B virus drugs can be researched out."
Liu Feng is very happy anyway. He still doesn't know how to develop such a new type of anti-hepatitis B virus, but he just feels that he will be able to study it.
"Yes, in the next step, we only need to research this new type of anti-hepatitis B virus. If our research is successful, we will definitely make a huge contribution to this society. At that time, we will also Because of this matter, it will once again become the target of everyone's attention. At that time, there may be some unexpected benefits waiting for us."
Zhao Zhongyao knew that as long as he could do something that would make a huge contribution to this society. Then he will definitely become a star in this world, and everyone will pay attention to him.
"The director Zhao said that if we survive in this society and want to make some achievements, we must do things that are useful to society. Only in this way can we be recognized by this society. Only in this way can we get What we want. We have to give first before we can get it." Liu Feng listened to Zhao Zhongyao's words, and also said some philosophical words.
"What you are saying is that this time, as long as we both research a new type of anti-hepatitis B virus, then both of us will become famous figures in the entire medical industry. At that time, what else we want but can't get Yes." Zhao Zhongyao looked at Liu Feng and said something that made him a little bit happy.
"Director Zhao, how can we research this new type of anti-viral hepatitis B vaccine? I don't seem to have any idea now."
Liu Feng is very happy. But after being happy, he felt that the things he faced were still very complicated. It's not as simple as he thought.
"Let’s study this by yourself! Let me figure out how to do it. Although this is a good thing for us. But if you want to complete this, it’s not easy. Any research. Work is not easy. We must have confidence. Without confidence, nothing can be done." Zhao Zhongyao looked at Liu Feng and said.
"Okay, then I will study it myself, and Director Zhao will also find a way. I know that you are an all-rounder and there is nothing you don't know. This time I want to study this new type of anti-viral hepatitis B vaccine. It’s up to you, Director Zhao, and I can only do what you say. If I let me figure it out by myself, I really can’t think of a good way.

Although Liu Feng is a very talented young man, it depends on whom he is comparing with. If compared with ordinary young people, Liu Feng is certainly a very talented young man. But if compared with Zhao Zhongyao, his talent would be nothing.
"Liu Feng, don't say that, I'm not a either! I don't know something. It's just that we two work hard together." Zhao Zhongyao was also humble after hearing Liu Feng's words.
However, Zhao Zhongyao knew one thing. In other words, he is a reborn person. It was reborn from a space with highly developed technology to a space with less developed technology. After Zhao Zhongyao arrived in this space, he felt that some of the general technological levels that he knew in that world had become very advanced technological levels in this world.
Thinking of studying a new type of antiviral hepatitis B vaccine. Zhao Zhongyao also began to recall how he knew how this hepatitis B vaccine was developed in the world before his death.
Zhao Zhongyao thought for a while, as if he had some clues. After all, he was a researcher before his death. I usually like some new technologies. He likes to learn some new technologies in biomedicine.
In the 1980s, the genetically modified hepatitis B vaccine was successfully developed. The principle is to "cut" the section of the hepatitis B virus gene responsible for expressing the surface antigen and transfer it into the yeast. When the yeast that has been transferred to the hepatitis B virus gene grows, it produces hepatitis B surface antigen. Yeast is a fast-growing organism, so the hepatitis B surface antigen is produced in large quantities.
Zhao Zhongyao is a famous scientist in the world, although he is not specialized in biology. Nor does it specialize in transgenic technology. But he still understands this aspect.
Zhao Zhongyao now thinks, since he now masters this kind of genetically modified technology, he must let this technology benefit the society. Don't let this technology entrap the people.
When it comes to genetically modified technology, there are also some downsides. For example, in terms of food, due to the extensive use of genetically modified technology, many foods have undergone genetic changes. In this case, people will be at risk of getting sick when eating these foods. The most common is that after eating genetically modified food, there will be allergic reactions.
Regarding the right and wrong of genetic modification, Zhao Zhongyao had also heard a lot about this in the world during his lifetime. He knows that genetic modification has many disadvantages, especially in terms of food, which has been valued by many countries in the world.
In the world after Zhao Zhongyao's rebirth, due to the underdeveloped level of technology, there is no such technology as genetic modification. Although Zhao Zhongyao has researched this technology now, many people still don't understand this technology.
Under such circumstances, Zhao Zhongyao knew that he must let this technology benefit the society and not let this technology harm the people. Zhao Zhongyao already knows that in the world before his death, people's biggest criticism of GM was that it threatened people's life and health after it was used in food.
After knowing this, Zhao Zhongyao thought that if he wanted to study genetic modification now, he would not study the role of this in food. Although, in the future, he may consider using genetically modified technology to benefit the society in this regard. But at the moment, he still only wants this technology to benefit society in the field of medicine.
To say that the greatest contribution of genetically modified technology to mankind is in the field of medicine, some useful drugs produced for mankind. Genetically modified technology, and only its contribution in the field of medicine, is unquestionable.
When Zhao Zhongyao learned about the great contribution of genetically modified technology to human research on anti-hepatitis B virus vaccines, he thought about this technology that he needs to know. In this underdeveloped world, he must also do something to this world. Make a huge contribution.
Besides, Liu Feng is now thinking about developing a new type of anti-hepatitis B virus. He also used his own genetic modification technology to conduct research. But he studied for a few days and couldn't find out why. After studying for ten days, there is no progress, it can be said that there is no clue.
And after Zhao Zhongyao thought about this, he called Liu Feng into his office again.
Liu Feng was feeling a little overwhelmed now. He was also happy for a while, feeling that he could develop this new type of antiviral drug. But after he experimented for ten days, there was still no progress, which made him a little discouraged.
"Liu Feng, have you made any progress in your research on genetically modified hepatitis B drugs in this period of time? Have you developed this new type of anti-hepatitis B drug."
Looking at Liu Feng, Zhao Zhongyao asked this first. After all, Zhao Zhongyao is also very busy at work, and he can't study such things with Liu Feng every day.
"Director Zhao, I'm sorry, I have been studying for so long, but there is no progress at all, and I don't know what to do!" Liu Feng looked at Zhao Zhongyao, looking a little helpless. After all, he had thought this matter was too simple before. When he really studied this new type of antiviral drug, he realized that his previous thinking was too simple. This is really not that easy to do.
"Liu Feng, this is the case, what kind of problems you are encountering now, I see if I can help you solve it." Zhao Zhongyao looked at Liu Feng and said.
"Director Zhao, the problem I have now is how to produce anti-hepatitis B virus antigens in large quantities. Although I know this, I just don't know how to do it."
