Chicago, Illinois, USA.

The northeast wind from Lake Michigan mixed with snowflakes and unbridled silver and white, trying to spread every corner of the Windy City.

In Chicago in winter, the wind and snow are always so heavy, and you can't go to the hotel frequently. But the howling cold wind is always so clean and pure, no matter how it blows, it will not bring a trace of dust. It's like a knife, dry and cold, and it feels like no amount of clothes can resist the cold breath.

Only the mournful whistling sound, the frantically swaying branches, the trembling flags, and the sweeping and flying snowflakes witnessed the existence of this cold wind.

Even in such bad weather, heavy cranes are still busy at work on a huge construction site next to the Kalumet industrial area, and mountains of steel bars are being lifted and moved to new positions. In the middle of the construction site, several towering buildings have begun to take shape, and some smaller buildings have been embedded with the double "S" logo representing Solal Corona, which is bright and magnificent, even in the wind and snow.

Naturally, this is the first science park of the Corona Company, which is under construction, with sufficient money and strong decision-makers as the backing, everything is very efficient, there are new changes almost every day, and in a few months, the outline of a new city has been built on the ground.

Not only that, but even in some areas of the park with a high degree of secrecy, some factories have been officially put into operation. The production line roared and started.

Simmons, manager of the No. 3 production line of the first science and technology park of the corona company? Rodney pulled the car to a familiar location, turned off the engine, and opened the door. Picking up the coffee and breaking into the snowstorm, it slammed shut.

Even the puffer jacket and hat with a thick plush lining could not stop the cold wind from carrying the snowflakes into the gaps between the cheeks and neck, and the tall snow boots creaked on the thick snow.

Fortunately, the road of just ten meters was quickly completed, and as the sensitive and silent automatic door opened and closed, it finally isolated all the cold and killing behind him.

"Whew!"

Simmons? Rodney took off the down hat he was wearing on top of his head. I unzipped my coat and gasped for breath. It is still comfortable in the factory building with complete heating facilities. Even though he had lived in Chicago for several years, he still had a hard time adapting to the harsh winters here, and he had a headache.

"Boss. Aren't you resting today? I came here in person. ”

His assistant Manan? Bloom, with a thick notebook under his arm, was urging his workers to work, noticing the movement at the entrance, waved his hand and looked over with a smile.

"It's the first day, can I not come and take a look? There's nothing wrong with the boys. ”

Simmons took a sip of the still-warm coffee in his hand while looking at the busy production line behind the glass with satisfaction. Countless transparent and colorless raw material solutions flow calmly through the pipes, and after a complex and rigorous process, they are cooled and solidified into small and delicate tablets, which fall into the collection vessels. The package is then automatically capped.

In addition to the previous trial runs, today can be regarded as the first official operation of the No. 3 production line, and the first batch of trial new drugs named NZT57 will also be synthesized and encapsulated. Prepare according to the standard dosage and wait for the product test department of the head office to receive it.

Being able to work as a production line supervisor in several pharmaceutical companies, Simmons relies on a patient, meticulous and rigorous work style, which has been a professional habit he has developed for many years, otherwise he would not have been poached by the corona company's high salary. We are in charge of a new pharmaceutical production line.

The first batch of over-the-counter medicines was handed over, even if some accidents had been taken on leave. He's going to come and watch it for himself anyway.

"Don't worry, what else can happen with me."

Manan is a bearded scumbag in his early 30s. It looks a little sloppy, but he is still relatively stable in doing things, and he is not as frizzy as his peers. That's why Simmons specifically promoted him to his assistant. Of course, in the eyes of the old Simmons, Manan is still a young man at this age.

"This is today's yield and sampling, all of which meet the company's requirements."

Simmons took the record sheet and looked at it carefully, the situation was indeed ideal, these newly purchased and installed big guys were worth a lot of money, and they were very easy to use and worth the money.

"Let the guys speed up and hurry up to seal and pack the box, it is estimated that the colleagues received by the product test department are almost here."

Simmons urged Manan on the one hand, put on masks and gloves, put on dust-free clothes, walked into the sampling testing area, and repeatedly confirmed that the proportion of the weight components of the film all met the standard, and then he was relieved. He picked up a prepared tablet, the transparent oblate tablet looked crystal clear under the light at the top, there was no inscription mark on it, it was as pure as crystal.

What a beautiful little guy!

Although I don't understand why the company is so secretive about all aspects of this new trial drug called NZT57 and basically does not disclose it to himself, Simmons is too lazy to think about it, he just needs to complete his own work as required, at least he has to be worthy of the high salary and bonus paid to him by the company. Even with his qualifications and experience, such a salary is already very good, and he doesn't want to lose his job because of mistakes.

Simmons was already very satisfied with being able to get such a lucrative job in a large emerging company like Corona, and basically, he didn't have to worry about the rest of his life, and his wife Lenny was very happy when he heard that he was hired by Corona Company. Now who doesn't know the resounding reputation and great future of Corona Company, just by virtue of the amazing results that have been announced, and then look at the big capital rushing to buy shares, everyone understands what a sought-after new concept enterprise this is, it is simply an energetic tiger, making those old pharmaceutical companies tremble when they hear it.

As for the slander accusing Corona of exaggerating the results of research and sensationalism, as well as the countless accusations against the company's owner, Bruce, Simmons simply does not despise it. In his opinion, only a genius like Bruce can make amazing inventions one after another, and that is not called publicity, it is obviously impulsive, and it is only with such a boss that he can be motivated.

The raw material composition and ratio of the new drug are strictly confidential, and the production line only needs to be responsible for operating according to the requirements, which is nothing incomprehensible, listen to the company's achievements: artificial gene reagents, ALS cures, anti-cancer drugs. These are all treasures, and it's strange that they don't keep it strictly secret. (To be continued)
