Technological Supremacy Chapter 454: Efforts to make money for the space program

Luo Jia seldom drives in person now. It's not that his driving skills are not good, but that his time and energy are not enough. If he has time to drive, he might as well lie in the back seat and rest for a while. , There are too many things to deal with, even if it is just a moment of rest and thinking, it will be very beneficial to Luo Jia.

After putting on the blindfold, Luo Jia entered a state of meditation, and his mind was wandering in the ocean of countless files. Each folder represented a kind of knowledge or inheritance. The number of directories depends on the difficulty of inheritance.

Although there are some huge folders, Luo Jia has almost never opened them, such as music and paintings. As a straight steel man with no musical ability, Luo Jia's understanding of music is limited to the melody is good, the tune is relatively light, etc. Wait, but asking him to distinguish Tchaikovsky from Beethoven is basically playing the piano against the cow.

"I still don't have any knowledge about life sciences." Luo Jia frowned and muttered as he browsed through his mind for a moment.

The sound of beeping in the ear is always there, and the data transmission has never stopped. Almost every day, new folders will be formed in Luo Jia's brain.

However, the knowledge about life science has never been found. This makes Luo Jia secretly a little anxious, wondering if the golden dome belongs to some kind of mechanical civilization, and does not have the genetic science skills necessary for carbon-based life?

People habitually think that the universe is a matter of space, but in fact it is also a matter of time.

The universe is too big. Taking Mars as an example, the shortest distance from the earth to Mars is 54.6 million kilometers, and the farthest is more than 400 million kilometers. The average calculation is 225 million kilometers, which requires the speed of light It takes 12.5 minutes to fly, and it takes almost 200 days for an ordinary aircraft.

It can be seen that if life science and technology cannot obtain a long life, it may be difficult for human beings to really go out of the solar system.

Rocket propellant is also an important issue at the moment. Luo Jia put aside his wild thoughts and focused on the two folders of thermodynamics and chemistry. main base.

In the Wen brothers' office, Luo Jia listened to the final report on the immune activation project.

Humans are a very vulnerable species in nature, and viruses are the number one problem for humans.

Many people don't know that when a string of small pink bubbles grow on your mouth, it's not getting angry as Chinese medicine calls it, but you have an incurable viral disease called herpes zoster .

Yes, incurable.

Once the herpes virus is infected, it will reside in your trigeminal nerve for life. If your immune function is weakened due to colds, fatigue and other reasons in the future, the virus will take the opportunity to invade the tissues under the mucous membrane of your lips and cause herpes labialis.

Before immune activation therapy, the most powerful drug against herpes virus was acyclovir, which was developed by the British GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceutical Group. The virus is powerless, and once infected, it recurs for life.

Immune activation therapy solves this problem once and for all. By forcibly increasing the human immune system and purifying the body, many viruses, such as herpes zoster, that were originally parasitic in the body will be completely eliminated once and for all.

Of course, any treatment has risks, so immune activation therapy is also divided into many levels, the lowest level of existence is the drug, the genotype drug named Golden Capsule.

Golden Capsules, a genetic drug, the biggest pursuit is safety, regardless of whether it can be completely cured, the first thing to do is to ensure that it is safe to take, and it must not cause big troubles like Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.

However, because the golden capsule focuses on safety, part of the curative effect is suppressed, so a higher level of treatment is needed, that is, the hospital system.

Patients with serious conditions can receive comprehensive treatment in the hospital to maximize the activation of the immune defense mechanism to fight against AIDS and Ebola and other highly deadly viruses. If foreign patients need it, they can apply to enter China for treatment, and for treatment Pay huge fees.

This method has greatly alleviated the problem of layoffs in medical institutions. With immune activation therapy, the medical system obviously no longer needs to maintain a large team of doctors, and overseas patients provide doctors and nurses with job opportunities and income. Not bad, it can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

After listening to Wen Chengling's report, Luo Jia nodded in satisfaction.

This matter is mainly promoted by the Ministry of Health. The work of Xingchen Technology is to ensure the production of drugs and train medical personnel. To a certain extent, the national team is also a partner of Xingchen Technology, and it is the largest partner. the one.

"Very good." Luo Jia said with satisfaction: "In this way, our research and development work in the field of immune activation has been completed, although we still need to consolidate the research results and extend it to more application fields. But those are auxiliary existences, and the difficulty is not high."

"According to the original plan, we will start the second step in the life science tetralogy, which is metabolic control. What do you think about this?"

The brothers of the Wen family looked at each other, and finally the elder brother Wen Chengling said: "Of course I have ideas, but the main issues are time and safety."

"The major projects in life sciences are connected. So far, we have done some pre-research on metabolism control technology. Among them, the progress is relatively good, which is artificially repairing and thickening the dermis to achieve anti-aging. The purpose of aging."

Anti-aging?

This thing is good, my mother must like it.

Luo Jia thought in her heart and urged Wen Chengling to speak quickly.

Wen Chengling nodded, "Metabolism control is a huge category, far more complex than immune system activation, and we put anti-aging research first, there are two reasons, one is the difficulty is medium, and the second is the benefits Huge."

"After all, both men and women are creatures that love beauty. If we can develop a cosmetic that can make the face younger and have anti-aging functions, the sales will definitely be considerable. Mr. Lu from the finance department has been talking about it recently. Since the company opened After the space program, the financial pressure is increasing, so we hope to help out and come up with a project that can make quick money on the basis of the golden capsule."

Luo Jia took Wen Chengling's words seriously. People who say that appearance is not important are probably living in a dream. In the real world, you can refer to giant pandas and alligators. They are both national first-class protected animals, but what about treatment? , Alligator has a saying MMP in his heart, and he doesn't know whether to say it or not.

Appearance is justice. This sentence hurts my heart, but it is true.

Wen Chengling continued: "North American Food and Drug Administration has ever approved only one anti-aging drug, all-trans retinoic acid, but due to the huge side effects of retinoic acid, skin care products usually do not directly add it, but add Retinol, a derivative of tretinoin, has only one-sixth the efficacy of tretinoin, but it is milder in nature.”

"It has been proved by the laboratory that the only skin care products that can smooth wrinkles and anti-aging are tretinoin or retinol. All other skin care products that claim to be anti-aging are either IQ tax or metaphysics."

"We and our colleagues in the department carefully studied the existing skin care product system, and found that the money in this field is really easy to earn!"

"People are used to calling profiteering products an IQ tax, but in the field of cosmetics, they are all taxes. Where does the IQ come from?"

Puff~

Luo Jia almost burst out laughing after hearing Wen Chengling's words. Cosmetics are all taxed and have no IQ. Since the Wen family brothers came to Xingchen Technology, they seem to have become more and more honest. If you hear it, you will definitely turn your face.

"Did I say something wrong?" Seeing Luo Jia smiling, Wen Chengling asked puzzledly.

"No, it's pretty good, let's continue." Luo Jia said.

Wen Chengling nodded lightly, and showed Luo Jia a form, "Look, Mr. Luo, the IQ tax is not terrible, the terrible thing is that it is all taken away by overseas companies!"

"The world's top ten cosmetics giants, the L'Oreal Group ranked first. In 2019, they actually collected 31.4 billion U.S. dollars in IQ taxes. Unilever, ranked second, collected 23.5 billion, followed by Estee Lauder, Procter & Gamble, Shiseido, Avon, Coty, LVMH, Beiersdorf, Johnson & Johnson.”

"There is no Chinese company among the top ten cosmetics companies in the world. When Shanghai Jahwa, Proya, Jialan, and Yujiahui are all added up, the sales of the four major domestic brands have just exceeded two billion US dollars, which is less than the tenth of L'Oreal. One-fifth, the gap is really too big.”

"If the field of cosmetics also belongs to a kind of hegemony, then this is the forbidden zone of absolute Western rule! This status quo must be broken! If there is an IQ tax in the field of cosmetics, it can only be collected by us!"

It's pretty cool for the Wen family brothers to go crazy...

Wait, they seem to be learning from me, making R&D plans, except that they don't like to use whiteboards, the rest are too similar, and they also collect data first, do market research, industry analysis, etc.

But this is not bad, it shows that they really put their heart into managing the life science department. The two elders lead a team to research cosmetics, which is quite difficult for them.

In the blink of an eye, many thoughts flashed through Luo Jia's mind, while Wen Chengling's introduction continued.

"Human skin is divided into three layers, epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue."

"We are going to focus on the dermis. 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 is also in charge of secretion and nutrition, and is responsible for transporting and replacing the epidermis. Nutrients.”

"The state of the epidermis is actually determined by the dermis. Collagen and elastin will gradually be damaged, hardened, and broken over time~IndoMTL.com~ This will lead to loose network structure of the dermis , forming depressions, wrinkles and sagging appear on the surface of the skin, and the skin naturally ages.”

At this time, Wen Chengfeng interjected excitedly: "Yes, yes, yes, according to our experiments, repairing and thickening the dermis can solve the problem of epidermal aging and wrinkles once and for all, and create a youthful skin full of collagen."

"Anyway, the thicker the dermis, the better. Those who look younger than their peers may not be born beautiful, but they may have thicker skins."

Using metabolism control technology to thicken the skin?

Worthy of being a scientist of Xingchen Technology, the Wen family brothers' straight male cancer is probably quite serious.

So, what is the name of this cosmetic?

A thick face nourishing cream?

I'm going to describe a high-tech that is destined to cause a global sensation as disgusting. The Wen brothers are really talented.

Luo Jia was speechless for a while, pondering in her heart.
