Chapter 337: Mozi Award (4)

"Two years ago, the German company Bayer put HEROIN on the market, boasting that it is a panacea for all diseases, and judging from patient feedback, it seems that it does work well. But we www.biquge.info Chinese all believe in a truth, that is, there is no perfect thing in the world, and as a medical expert, I know better that if a drug has too many effects, it is not a good thing. So, I conducted a series of experiments to see if this new drug really has such a great effect, and tried to find out its toxic side effects, but found that it was ......", Li Hui said here suddenly, so that the Germans present were all nervous, Bayer is a leading enterprise in the German pharmaceutical industry, if there is a serious problem with this special drug launched as a fist product, it will definitely cause an unprecedented heavy blow to the reputation of German medicine.

Li Hui's next words really made the hearts of these Germans chill, "After our test with a placebo comparison, we found that the effect of heroin is actually only to reduce pain and discomfort, and it has no therapeutic effect on the disease itself, which is the real reason why it can be more or less effective for patients with almost all diseases." If it is a mild disease, even if it is not treated, it will heal on its own, and if it is a more serious disease, using this kind of medicine that is actually just deceiving oneself will delay the treatment and make the patient who could have been saved needless to die! ”

"Bayer's hype may be overdone, but at least it's an excellent painkiller that has never been seen before, with the efficacy of MOP without the addictive properties of MOP." , a German scientist argued a few words, but his face was immediately like dust because of Li Hui's next words......

"Haha, no addiction? What a joke! When studying the mechanism of cough and analgesia of this drug through animal experiments, we detected MOP in the liver of mice, so the answer is obvious, the reason why HEROIN can produce such a strong cough and analgesic effect is precisely because it is converted into MOP in the body! Li Hui sneered, looked at the German scientist and said, "Since it is actually MOP, how can it not be addictive?" ”

"Of course, theoretically at the current medicinal dosage there is no danger." The Germans breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Li Hui's words, but they immediately frowned again, because Li Hui had already changed his words, "But who can guarantee that no one will sell them as hobby goods for profit?" ”

Everyone was speechless for a moment, and everyone understood that in a capitalist society, as long as a business can be profitable, then it is impossible to ban it in any case.

And Li Hui further pointed out the serious harm of heroin, "Because of the mechanism of action, acetyl (the word is actually harmonious?) After the treatment, the acute toxicity is reduced considerably, so that the dose that can be used once is greatly increased, which in turn can produce stronger addiction. According to the results of our human experiments, once heroin becomes addicted, there is almost no possibility of complete withdrawal, even if the physical symptoms disappear, psychological dependence will still exist for a long time, and those brave subjects will continue to live in pain and suffering for the rest of their lives, which makes me feel uncomfortable to think about......"

After hearing this, even the German scientists who had been defending Bayer realized the dangers of letting heroin spread and changed their positions, after all, they still had a little conscience in their hearts, and they all said that they would disclose the matter to the media after returning to China, so as to promote the change of this drug to a classification that must be used cautiously under the supervision of a physician as soon as possible, and Li Hui also won a higher reputation in the world scientific community through this discovery.

But these scientists did not think that Li Hui did this out of good intentions at all, but only to attack Bayer, the biggest international competitor of Chinese drugs, and by the way, to create a positive image of his own prestige.

And objectively, Li Hui's disclosure of the harm of heroin may not really be a good thing for Western people, because he actually let Westerners know that this is a drug more than 30 years in advance, and then the behavior of smoking it will naturally be advanced, even if the impact is smaller, it can't offset the loss of poisoning for so long.

Another point is that the widespread abuse of heroin, as a sedative drug, can objectively alleviate the people's dissatisfaction with the status quo to some extent, at least less impulsively, thereby reducing the danger of riots and revolutions. Without the help of this medicine, the social problems caused by the Great Depression would definitely be more serious than in history, but it is a pity that as the arms race among the Western powers became increasingly fierce, the Great Depression had gradually come to an end, and Li Hui did not see the good things he expected......

Speaking of which, at the beginning, Li Hui also thought about treating others in his own way, mass-producing this "special drug" and selling it to the Western region, but after careful consideration, he gave up, this thing is very profitable, but after all, it has to compete with Bayer, and it is estimated that it is far from being comparable with penicillin, not to mention that China's current trade surplus is close to a critical point, and if there is more, it is likely that the price of gold and silver will skyrocket again, and the hard currency that can actually be earned will only be reduced instead of increasing. Besides, selling this thing inevitably carries a great notoriety, and it is not worth it at all to fool Western scientists into coming to China.

In fact, even if Li Hui pays attention to his image like this, he has not been able to dig up even a single judge or winner, and the prejudice against China in Western society is not so easy to eliminate, especially since the Western media has been smearing it in recent years.

Of course, it is not without results, such as Tesla's agreement to be the chief designer of China's first large-scale hydropower plant, such as the Curies' agreement to accept several Chinese students, and hydropower and radiology are not in the system technology tree, but they are very valuable (although not indispensable, before World War II). ), so the significance is not small. As for the scientists who are temporarily staying in China and giving lectures at those universities, there are even more.

In addition, the first Mozi Award also greatly promoted the spread of the idea of Datongism overseas, among which the idea of fraternity and mutual benefit was particularly admired, and the idea of "non-offensive" also divided anti-war activists into two major factions: "just war to stop unjust war" and "indiscriminate opposition to all wars", and the legendary Mozi ancestor Mozi is also considered by many Western scholars and experts to be an ancient sage who can be compared with Aristotle, although in the eyes of many Chinese, the former is simply a high climb......
