Chapter 499: Regaining the Initiative
The Y-20 plane that took off from Xia Guojiang City landed at Cape Town Airport, and workers hired by Pangu Technology unloaded the medicines and medical equipment from the plane, and after a detailed inventory, they were sent to a temporary hospital set up by Xia Guo's medical team on the outskirts of Cape Town.
This batch of medicines and medical equipment is enough for the hardware of the temporary hospital to reach the level of a second-class hospital in China. Although it is not as good as the medical conditions of Xia Kingdom, it is enough to cope with the complex medical tasks in the local area, and the original shortage of medical treatment and medicine has been greatly alleviated.
Along with the arrival of medical equipment, there is also a 10-member working group from the Pangu Science Park Medical Center and a 15-member team from the Life Science Laboratory, which will be of great help to the temporary hospital.
Dean Fang greeted batches of medical equipment and medicines, and ushered in new colleagues, and suddenly felt that the pressure was greatly reduced.
At this time, he said very emotionally: "There are many foreign companies in South Anfei, and there are also many charitable organizations and foundations, but there are very few who are really willing to help the locals with such dedication!"
Dean Fang is also an expert, and this batch of medical equipment and medicines is at least more than 50 million soft girl coins.
This is real help!
After receiving the news, the local and surrounding patients once again carried the hope of life and health, hoping to regain their health with the help of the Xia people.
Pangea's 10-member medical team has also brought gene-inhibiting cancer expression treatment here, and under suitable conditions, it can try to treat liver cancer, breast cancer and other cancers for local people.
However, the workers of the Pangu Science and Technology medical team know that the local poor in South Anfei do not have such a strong need for cancer treatment, and the biggest need of the local people is to treat influenza, malaria, blood-sucking worms and other diseases that are always life-threatening.
"This is the medicine aided by the Xia people! It is the medicine aided by Pangu Science and Technology. ”
"It's Xia people! Nan'an people are not people, Xia people are friends!"
The locals who received timely assistance sang and danced. Thanks to the medical team, Xia Guo's physiotherapy team has been rooted here for more than ten years and has long won widespread praise from the locals.
For poor families, the hospital also subsidizes some grain – grain from the Sangtian Agricultural Company.
People believe in the medical team of the Xia people, and of course they also believe in the food provided by Pangu Technology.
As for those rumors some time ago, they were also self-defeating because ADM's assistance could not keep up.
At Xiao Ming's request, Xu Limin set up a food supply station not far from the hospital to provide food for the poor.
Pangu Technology has also partnered with Xia's medical counterpart to establish the Nan'an Africa Health and Food Research Institute, which focuses on improving the health and nutrition of local people.
When the news broke, many poor people from the west side of Cape Town had come from far and wide to ask for food.
After experiencing ADM's assistance, food shortage, crazy food grabbing, and Pangu Technology's medical assistance to the locals, everyone has the right answer in their hearts.
In order to avoid the protests of the poor from becoming more and more intense, the relevant local food organizations in Nan'an Africa urgently reached a cooperation with Xu Limin, hoping that Sangtian Agricultural Company's factory in South Anfei could start construction as soon as possible to make up for the food gap in the market.
Xu Limin, who has been placed in Nan'an in the past few months, will of course take this opportunity to fire a better price.
The grain of the Sangtian Agricultural Company will be treated in the same way as the grain produced by the local agricultural company, and all miscellaneous taxes will be exempted.
Sangtian Agricultural Company's grain will become the sole supplier of grain to public organizations and institutions such as schools, hospitals, and ZF in Nan'an, and the price of grain will be calculated according to the price agreed at the time.
Through the matter of rice food aid, Nan Anfei also saw clearly the purpose and strength of the rice grain company, and the sincere cooperation with Pangu science and technology is an absolute win-win situation.
In order to make up for the losses of Pangu Technology some time ago, Nananfei exempted uranium mines and C14 micronuclear battery raw material factories from taxes for two years.
Xu Limin once again got the initiative to exchange grain for resources.
Three days later, the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) will convene a conference on food security in Africa in South AnAfrica, to which Xiao Ming will be invited.
In Xu Limin's office, Xiao Ming, Zheng Xuanyu, and Gao Siqi fell into a stalemate.
"Sister, the biosafety level of Ebola is level four, which is one level higher than HIV. And it has now been proven that the virus can spread in the air. I'm not against you going to the research, but against you going to the scene of the epidemic, although Canadian companies have developed corresponding vaccines, but the vaccines are not officially used in clinical practice. ”
Xiao Ming was still dissuading the behavior of the two.
Gao Siqi is also an old expert in life sciences, how could he not know what the biosafety level of four means. This means that if you are not accidentally exposed, you will become infected, and the fatality rate of infection is very high.
Gao Siqi said: "The biosecurity level of the virus is an objective factor, but personnel has subjective initiative, as long as we take protective measures, there is no problem. Why did I go to the site, because the characteristics of the virus are not just the morphology under the high-powered electron microscope in the laboratory, but the specific manifestations of the host. ”
Xiao Ming said: "I'm not talking to you about philosophy. ”
Gao Siqi didn't give an inch, "I'm talking about the facts. ”
"We've been experimenting with gene expression regulation, from bacteria to humans, but we've never tried viruses. Gao Siqi said from a technical point of view: "Whether it is the most basic prokaryotes or the higher eukaryotes, their DNA chains are relatively stable, and we can control the expression of genes after we find the switch to control regulation." But viruses are different. ”
Gao Siqi said: "Viruses are not cellular organisms, they are the simplest living organisms. It's simple but it's also complicated, and in our second year of research, we tried to control the gene expression of Sendai virus in the lab. But we've found that it skips the gene expression threshold we set for it and recombines with the natural environment to form a new Sendai virus. ”
In the same way, why does influenza, which is mainly a viral infection, mutate every year and develop drug resistance? Because the role of influenza vaccines and influenza drugs is to inhibit or even kill the gene expression of the virus, but the influenza virus will skip this threshold and evolve in nature, so that it can become stronger and continue to survive. ”
Zheng Xuanyu also added: "Dean Fang's team is there, the probability of us being infected is very low, it should be 100% impossible, I believe that there is no problem with Xia Guo's medical protective equipment." ”
In order to win the opportunity to go to the epidemic area, Gao Siqi assured Xiao Ming, "We will definitely protect ourselves, we will not have face-to-face contact with patients, and collect the necessary data and virus samples in the shortest possible time." ”
