In order to take care of Yang Ruoliu's convenience, the meeting place was chosen by her, which was a café called Shangdao, not far from Vientiane City. When the cycad arrived there, Yang Ruoliu was already leisurely sipping tea in a small private room.

"What have you done lately? He also knew how to let me pick a small private room. Yang Ruoliu said teasing when she saw Su Tie hurriedly coming in.

"Why again?" Cycad has a black line on his face: "I have always sat upright, and I don't know why I always eat first when I eat with others recently." ”

But he didn't bother to say anything else, so he sat down and said straight to the point: "That leech emperor has been following you for some time, do you have any gains?" ”

"If there are too few specimens and too little time, what can we gain?" Yang Ruoliu said while handing Su Tie a pile of texts: "But it's not completely nothing, you can go home and read these materials for yourself." ”

The cycad took it and looked at it casually and said with a smile: "At least you can be sure that it's a new species, right?" ”

Yang Ruoliu covered her mouth and smiled, but soon thought that the cycad was not one of those animal experts, and immediately said with a smile: "From the perspective of the identification of the real yàn room, it is very likely to be an unknown species. But to be recognized by the academic community, it is estimated that it will not be until your child enters elementary school. ”

Su Tie was stunned for a moment, his face showed a burst of disappointment, according to Yang Ruoliu, to determine that the Ant Leech Emperor is a new species academically, it will take at least one or two decades to complete.

It's not just because of the academic question of whether it's a new species, but because I'm worried that once the leech emperor is not recognized by the academic community, it will encounter great resistance if it wants to be applied in medicine.

Seeing his expression, Yang Ruoliu continued: "Academically and in the real room are two different things, academically you need to check a lot of materials, and you also need to make comparisons of different organisms, which is precisely the most time-consuming. It takes an average of 20 years to identify a new species, with the fastest currently taking 11 years and the slower being up to 200 years, which is not a simple task. Besides, invertebrates take longer to be identified than vertebrates. ”

Su Tie smiled and said, "I'm afraid that when the academic community confirms, this thing may be extinct a long time ago." ”

Yang Ruoliu nodded and said, "This is not strange. Especially in the current natural world, once many new varieties of organisms visible to the naked eye are discovered, they are already on the verge of extinction, or the living environment has a specific small area, and the population is scarce, and it has not changed in the past few years. ”

Cycad pondered for a while, he felt that creatures like leeches were not on the verge of extinction immediately, but creatures like ant leeches had not yet been discovered by the academic community, and in addition to the small size of the individual itself, there may be some special reasons. At present, the wetlands in Baocheng are well protected, but who can say what will happen in three or five years.

Sure enough, Yang Ruoliu also seemed to know what the cycads were thinking: "There is currently a dispute over the wetland park in Baocheng, and there is a big disagreement within the government over whether to continue to preserve this place or even the protected area of the Lotus River Basin. That's why I went to the wetland park. ”

Su Tie was shocked in his heart, and he did not necessarily have such avant-garde ideas as protecting the environment on this issue. There are ant leech emperors in the wetland park, and there may be other places similar to the wetland park.

Not to mention, at least I know that some rivers or wetlands in Duancheng are stored in the Ant Leech Emperor, otherwise how could my master find this thing to cure diseases and save people many years ago?

It's just that the current understanding of ant leeches is still a gap in the academic world, although I know its medical effects, but I may know less about other aspects than Yang Ruoliu.

Who knows what it's like for this thing to survive in the wild? Now that the wetland park has been discovered, the cycad privately worries that the government's cancellation of the reserve will make it more difficult for him to find such creatures in the future. It's okay to spend time and energy looking for it yourself, but patients who want to use the Leech Emperor may not be able to afford to wait.

Su Tie thought for a while and said, "What is the current situation?" It's all well protected, why do you have the idea of canceling? ”

"Baocheng is developing too fast," Yang Ruoliu said, "and the stock of commercial land in the city has been greatly reduced, and land in areas such as the wetland park and the Lotus River basin is a good place to go." Therefore, the business community of Baocheng began to pay attention here. If it weren't for Mayor Han Xiao's insistence on retaining it, and Secretary Su has been noncommittal, the wetland park would have become a high-rise building long ago. ”

With her own identity and status, she naturally can't know such an inside story, it seems that Shen Weizhong, who has recovered now, needs to thank Han Xiao, if she hadn't insisted on keeping the wetland park, she wouldn't have found the Leech Emperor so quickly.

"At present, Mayor Han is still serving in Baocheng," Su Tie said with a smile: "Secretary Su is no longer speaking, why is there still such a big controversy and disagreement in the government?" ”

Yang Ruoliu shook her head and said, "How can I know too much about the things in the government?" A while ago, Mayor Han suddenly figured out that Guò legislated to protect these places, but Secretary Su didn't say anything, didn't this cause controversy? If there is no controversy, I will commission some organizations to come and investigate, and I am one of them. The term of office is coming soon, and I have heard that there may be changes in some important members of the party and government in Baocheng, and I don't know why such a controversy has suddenly arisen. ”

I am not very old, but as a native of China, I naturally know the difference between the secretary and the mayor of a city.

However, Su Tie was very puzzled, and his attitude towards this issue was a little strange, it stands to reason that since the controversy has been caused, it will either be resolved, or the controversy will be calmed down, Su Zhenwei as the secretary naturally has this ability and responsibility, otherwise he would not have stayed in Baocheng for so many years.

Regardless of whether he said yes or no on this issue, he didn't have to worry about offending anyone in Baocheng at all. Besides, the discussion about staying in the wetland park is not a bad thing, if everyone is discussing this issue with a benign and positive attitude, what is there not to say?

He and Han Xiao have served in Baocheng for many years, and the wetland park seems to have been protected for many years, so he should have always supported Han Xiao in this way. His noncommittal is a bit intriguing.

And what Han Xiao did was also very strange, trying to legislate to protect the wetland park without Secretary Su making a clear statement, which is really a bit reckless. However, if she can sit in her current position, she should know the rules better, and she can't be a reckless person.

Su Tie smiled and said: "Maybe Mayor Han sees that he may be transferred, and he has good intentions to legislate to keep the wetland park." ”

Yang Ruoliu pondered for a while and said: "This session of Baocheng party and government leaders is very satisfactory to the citizens. However, the grapevine said that Secretary Su would be promoted to other provinces, and according to the rules, it should be the same. Mayor Han didn't hear about it, but there was a lot of noise from the people for her to stay as the secretary of Baocheng, and she did a lot of things during her tenure to continue to follow up. Besides, there are many examples of mayors being transferred to the same city secretary, and it is estimated that they are also in line with public opinion. ”

As soon as Yang Ruoliu said this, the cycads were even more puzzled, if Han Xiao could really stay, why did he propose the true intention of protecting the wetland at this time?

But this is not something I can think about, not to mention that meeting Yang Ruoliu this time is not to come out to chat and blow water.

At that moment, the cycad side phone turned and said with a smile: "No matter what the wetland park will become, if I want to breed ant leeches, do you think it is possible?" If I can breed in batches, not only can I find it at any time, but I can also protect it, and you scientists can study it whenever you want. ”

Yang Ruoliu looked at the cycad with his mouth open, really doubting whether his brain was burned out. Leech farming is no longer a strange thing, but it is still a niche industry. If you let others choose, it is estimated that they would prefer to raise fish and shrimp.

In my own eyes, ant leeches are also leeches, but they have not yet been biologically confirmed and classified. According to experience, even if this little thing has medicinal value, it is not much different from ordinary leeches, it is nothing more than hirudin in their bodies.

However, the leeches are as small as ants, and if they are really used to extract hirudin, not to mention the hirudin content, the extraction cost is estimated to be doubled. Even if you succeed in breeding, the subsequent applied research will cost immeasurable.

I really didn't figure out what the purpose of raising this thing is, and with such money you need to breed leeches for such a boring thing?

However, if you look at it from the perspective of biological conservation, it is another matter, but it is not only a large investment in this way, but also the expectation of no return benefit.

Yang Ruoliu took a deep breath of cold air, she didn't expect that the cycad really had this ridiculous idea!

The cycad seemed to see through Yang Ruoliu's thoughts, and he said with a smile: "The application of ant leeches is different from the ordinary leeches you think, and it uses ** leech therapy." Of course, this is not a strange thing, it has long been available abroad. It's just that my approach is a little different from theirs, they are in vitro treatment, I let the leech emperor enter the human body, and automatically find the lesion for internal treatment. ”

Yang Ruoliu listened to a wave of goosebumps all over her body, Rao is not afraid of something disgusting like leeches, but if she let it into her body for treatment, she still can't accept it for a while.

After a while, Yang Ruoliu said, "Have you really tried to treat people like this?" ”

Su Tie nodded and said: "Yes, I saw it once many years ago, and I did two cases of intracranial hemorrhage with my own hands a while ago, and I did it when the patient lost its clinical medical significance." But I believe that the Leech Emperor is more than just that. ”

Yang Ruoliu understood what he said, in the vernacular, that means that the patient with intracranial hemorrhage is almost dead, and this thing can still save people when it cannot be treated. If this is the case, then the application of the Leech Emperor cannot be measured in terms of money.

Yang Ruoliu came back to his senses and said: "Leech breeding shouldn't be a very difficult thing, I believe that ant leeches are the same, but I built yì to take a look at the test-tube cultivation first, because this thing is too small, and it does not require much living space, as long as the food is better and the water quality is stable." It's just that there are some special issues that you should be aware of. ”

Cycad nodded and said, "Listen up." ”

"The Leech Emperor has a special place," Yang Ruoliu said, "and can make the leech autolyzed when the environment changes too much." I don't know why, but once I forgot to feed and went back to the real yàn room to watch an ant leech gradually melt away until it disappeared completely. ”

Su Tie smiled and said: "I also probably guessed that the ant leeches I raised were completely disappeared later, because I cultivated them with clean water and didn't throw any food down, and in the end, the leech emperor became a capsule." After feeding, the leech emperor changed back from the sac, and even gave birth to some leeches for me, which is very interesting. ”

Yang Ruoliu was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that this phenomenon would have been noticed by the cycads a long time ago, and then she continued: "So there is a place that is particularly worth studying, how can you develop an ant leech into an ant leech emperor." Just like ants, not all ants can become queens. But I don't understand this question at the moment. The number of leech emperors is not large, and it is very important to solve the further development of ant leeches into leech emperors in the case of artificial cultivation. ”

Seeing that Su Tie nodded in agreement, Yang Ruoliu said excitedly: "But there is good news, which may be very helpful for the medical application and promotion of the Ant Leech Emperor." ”

Cycad was shocked in his heart, this problem may be as important as leech breeding, and it is also a problem that he has been thinking about. Listening to Yang Ruoliu's words, she quickly pricked up her ears and listened.

"There is a big difference between the leech emperor and ordinary leeches," Yang Ruoliu said, "It can stay out of water for a long time, and it can tolerate severe water shortages." Similarly, it can turn into a capsule after leaving the surface of the water, and can live again when it returns to the water. But it's unclear how long and how dry it can endure. ”

Su Tiehuo stood up, he didn't expect this situation, he always thought that this little thing could only live in the water. According to Yang Ruoliu, as long as you find the Cheng dù that the Leech Emperor endured and find the right parameters, you can make this thing into a capsule for easy circulation.

If you add your own auxiliary drugs, drugs to remove the leech emperor from the body, and drugs to accelerate the growth of the skull, then this is a set of medical procedures that can completely deviate from the operation of the attending doctor.

Besides, the leech emperor is not only effective for intracranial hemorrhage, but also for the three highs, stroke, blood clots and even cancer.

If they could be used as finished products like medicines according to different diseases, how broad would their prospects be in the future? And it is fully accepted by the medical community and patients.

Yang Ruoliu looked at him like this and laughed: "I mean." But if you're really determined to do it, you might as well let me join, and maybe you can rely on it to become a rich woman overnight. ”

The cycad sat down, and his eyes seemed to turn into gold coins. To be honest, the first thing I thought of was economic benefits, if this road can be passed, I can really sit at home and count the money, I guess I am too busy to eat.

He laughs and says, "I do think so. If you're interested, we might as well cooperate with it, and I heard that there are any technologies to invest in shares or something, you can try it."

Yang Ruoliu opened his mouth and looked at the cycad, he was just talking casually, but he didn't expect this guy to really do what he said, and even said that he had a technical shareholding. The cost of breeding leeches may not be high, and basically having a site and water source will solve the big problem. But when it comes to turning them into finished drugs, it's really no joke.

Besides, there is another issue that is very noteworthy, and that is the issue of intellectual property rights and patents. I don't know what the cycads think, but once the efficacy and treatment plan of the Leech Emperor are obtained by the big pharmaceutical companies, a powerless person like the cycad will have nothing to invest overnight.

At that moment, Yang Ruoliu said: "But you have to be careful, things are not so simple." If you really did it, it would be a huge profit. So many big medical companies will watch you sweep away your money? No matter how bad it is, they have to get a piece of the pie. ”

Cycad waved his hand and said: "Step by step, I know something about the research and development, protection and promotion of drugs. ”

He looked at Yang Ruoliu still with a look of disbelief, and said with a straight face: "I'm really not joking, this is part of my ideal." Whether you can become a world-famous rich woman or not really depends on me. ”

Looking at his serious appearance, but the next sentence was a little frivolous, Yang Ruoliu was angry and funny. But it's not a bad thing for people to have this ideal, what's the difference between people who don't have ideals and salted fish?

It seems that he is still full of confidence, and even he has to think about it. Not to mention the problem of the leech emperor becoming a medicine, it is to breed them for cycads to use to treat diseases and save people, and the economic benefits generated by this are immeasurable.
