Chapter 984: The Medicine is Ready (2)
When Liu Jingxue heard the team leader mention that the formula of the new medicine should be submitted, she thought about it and decided that the formula had to be submitted quickly.
After all, it does take a lot of time to prepare the medicinal materials, arrange production, and transport them here.
The earlier it is submitted, the earlier it can be put into production.
But the drug has only been proven to be effective in about a dozen people.
Although the fever of those who used it later subsided, it is not known whether it will recur.
It’s better to wait another day or two.
If all of them are handed in, and the people behind them have a recurring fever, then it would be a false alarm.
"Captain, let's wait a day or two before submitting the formula.
Let's see how other patients in the same team react after taking the medicine, and make sure that the disease won't recur before making any decision.
These patients have only taken the medicine for one day, and some of them have not yet had a fever. If we hand them in now, it would be a bit premature.”
"Let's wait two more days to make sure there are no problems and these people are almost fully recovered before handing over the formula."
Wang Xiulan also said after hearing this, “That’s what I meant.
In the past, when a new drug came out, it would not be put into use without being tested thousands of times or for several months.
Although the situation is urgent and we have to take emergency measures, we still have to do more experiments.
Let’s wait until our production team members have taken it for a few days before we decide.”
Seeing that Liu Jingxue and Wang Xiulan had reached a consensus, although the team leader was a little anxious, he was still convinced by them.
"Then let's wait two more days?"
Liu Jingxue nodded decisively, "Wait two more days.
The day after tomorrow afternoon, if the patient recovers well, we will go to the commune to find Secretary Yan and borrow his phone."
Time was urgent, and Liu Jingxue felt that she could not wait for Grandpa Zhang to send someone over to receive the formula as usual. It would be faster to call.
As for the possibility of information leakage via phone call, there should be no problem with Grandpa Zhang.
After all, even a very brave person would not dare to eavesdrop on the commander-in-chief of a certain military region.
As for Secretary Yan, he is just a commune secretary, and no one should come to monitor the phone calls in his office.
Even if they monitored it, it wouldn't matter. They're just a few formulas. If they were leaked, they would be leaked.
As for my own safety after the leak, except for other people who are worried about my safety, I am not worried at all.
Anyone who dares to target her is simply seeking death.
Wang Xiulan quickly reminded, "When the time comes, ask Zhou Zhiqing and Zhao Zhiqing to come along."
According to Wang Xiulan's idea, calling these two people over would at least provide cover.
If someone later speculates that the appearance of the formula for treating the plague is related to the phone call, at least four people went there at once, and two of them came from prominent families, which could divert some attention from Liu Jingxue.
Upon hearing this, the team leader nodded in agreement and said, "We should call them Zhou Zhiqing and Zhao Zhiqing."
The captain said this because he didn't know who was behind Liu Jingxue.
In his opinion, the fact that the troops could arrive so quickly was probably related to Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao's families.
He had no idea that even without Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao, the people behind Liu Jingxue could still call in the troops.
The captain's idea was that after Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao knew that the formula for treating the plague had arrived, they would mobilize the energy of their two families to put the formula into production as soon as possible, transport it here, and use it on the patients.
Although she didn't understand what the two meant, Liu Jingxue had no objection to letting Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao go together.
The last time the two of them called home, they reported the epidemic. I guess everyone at home was very worried.
The two of them must be allowed to call home to report that they are safe and let their families know that they are okay.
"Then Captain, please tell Zhou Zhiqing and Zhao Zhiqing in advance and ask them to come together at that time." Liu Jingxue looked at the captain and suggested.
The captain readily agreed, "No problem."
Secretary Xu looked relaxed at this time. "You are so confident. It seems that you are very confident. The villagers will recover after taking the new medicine. The formula will be handed in in two days."
The three of them laughed when they heard this.
“I still have confidence in the medicine made by Xiaoxue.
There is no bad medicine when she takes action. ", the captain complimented.
This made Liu Jingxue feel a little embarrassed.
“I’m not as good as Captain Bo said.
There are several drugs that have not been successful.”
Wang Xiulan disagreed with this.
"Those medicines can also reduce fever, who says they are useless?
It just might not be suitable for this epidemic.”
With the captain and Secretary Xu present, Wang Xiulan did not dare to bring up the matter of asking Liu Jingxue to ask Mr. Zhang to arrange a drug trial. She just gave her a look and told her to try it herself.
As long as people have hope, time passes quickly.
Two days passed quickly.
The patients in the production team have not had fever in the past two days, and other symptoms have also weakened, which shows that they are clearly getting better.
In this case, Liu Jingxue has no reason not to hand over the formula.
Half a month later, the team leader led Liu Jingxue, Zhou Mingxuan, and Zhao Junhao to the commune again.
The team leader rode his bicycle in the front.
Zhou Mingxuan took advantage of the captain's inattention and rode to Liu Jingxue and asked,
"Xiaoxue, have you really figured out the medicine to cure the plague?"
Liu Jingxue rolled her eyes at him and said, "How can you fake this?
If this is false and I report it, I will be in big trouble."
Seeing Liu Jingxue misunderstood, Zhou Mingxuan quickly explained, "That's not what I meant, I was just too surprised.
I've heard in the past that those people who were trying to develop new drugs couldn't come up with them even after several months or even years.
But for you, it's as easy as eating and drinking.
In just half a month, several new drugs were developed.”
When Liu Jingxue heard this, she quickly explained, "I'm not developing a new drug.
After all, medicines for treating colds and flu have existed in the past.
The most I did was to make some modifications to the original medicines based on the current symptoms.
Otherwise, the speed would not be so fast. "
“In fact, in theory, every new drug developed must be tested on animals.
After confirming that there are no problems, human trials will be carried out.
After many experiments, several months may pass.
You said that it used to take a lot of time to develop a new drug, and a lot of time was spent on testing.”
Liu Jingxue shrugged and said helplessly,
“In fact, I took a risk this time. I didn’t test it on animals, but directly conducted human tests.
But as you can see, the situation outside is so critical that we can’t afford to conduct experiments slowly.”
In fact, Liu Jingxue has conducted animal experiments before.
After each medicine was made, she tested it on animals in the space. Only after making sure there were no problems did she give it to Wang Xiulan for human trials.
Although testing on animals cannot verify whether a drug can cure a disease, it can at least determine whether the drug is harmful to the body.
Although the things inherited from the alchemy tradition should not be problematic, Liu Jingxue still didn't dare to use them directly on humans without testing them on animals.
"After you submit this formula, I guess the military pharmaceutical factory will arrange a test.
The troops have certain rules and regulations, and they won't act recklessly." Zhou Mingxuan said.
Zhao Junhao disagreed, "In fact, I think that since so many people in our production team have used it, there is no need to do further experiments.
There are so many people waiting for help right now, just like Xiaoxue said, there is no time to experiment slowly."
Liu Jingxue shook her head and said, "I hope they can do another experiment.
If they have no problems with the test and put it into production for people to use, if there are any problems later, there will be someone to prove that there are no problems. "
"That's true."
