Chapter 1173: Cloning the Snake
Forget it, don't think about these for now, there are more important problems that have not been solved at the moment, Liang Ziweng's xenomorph pit viper, and the Bodhisattva snake outside Xiangyang City are good things, and they have to be carried forward in the real world.
So Shen Long called Academician Ma Lin and invited him to come to his home for dinner, and Academician Ma Lin told Shen Long a good news as soon as he arrived, and now the kind of special drug for chronic myelogenous leukemia that he helped develop has been officially listed, due to the problem of production, it is now only sold in a small area, but the effect is very good, and they have begun to prepare to expand the scale of production.
"If I can have enough production and add this drug to the medical insurance list, I will be satisfied in my life!" There is no doubt that this work is difficult, but China is not the United States after all, the influence of pharmaceutical companies is not so great, and Academician Ma Lin is also an old qualified academician, and there is no shortage of connections, as long as he is given time, he will definitely be able to do this.
"It's all thanks to you, if this medicine can be applied on a large scale, how many unfortunate patients and families can be saved, Xiao Shen, you are alive countless times this time!" Academician Ma Lin is in a good mood now.
"Academician Ma, in fact, I came to you this time because there is another special medicinal material that needs to be identified by you." Seeing that Academician Ma Lin was in a good mood, Shen Long stopped going around the bend with him, and slipped out of the house directly with two cages, one containing Liang Ziweng's xenomorph pit viper, and the other was a Bodhisattva snake.
"Snakes? These two snakes are really rare, I haven't seen them much before. "Snake molt, snake blood, snake eggs and even snake venom are all common medicinal materials in traditional Chinese medicine, basically all famous Chinese medicine can be regarded as half a botanist, zoologist or even mineralogist, so Academician Ma Lin is no stranger to snakes, and he can see the abnormalities of these two snakes at a glance.
Shen Long is also not worried about the impact of animal protection laws, although the two species of snakes are scarce, he can guarantee that they are definitely not on the protection list.
"I also discovered by chance, I saw an image of these two snakes in an ancient medical book, and according to the medical book, these two snakes have great uses." Shen Long first pointed to the xenomorph pit viper and said, "The blood of this snake can replenish qi and blood, dispel poison, comprehensively improve resistance and improve physical fitness. ”
"The gallbladder of this strange-shaped snake can also replenish blood and qi, improve exercise ability, and can also brighten the eyes, which has a special effect on preventing myopia!" These are all groped out by Shen Long.
"Oh? That's a good thing! "Academician Ma Lin immediately came to the spirit, not to mention anything else, just say that this prevents myopia, because of the popularity of computers, television, mobile phones, myopia rate continues to rise, how many parents for the problem of children's myopia and try their best, if there is a drug that can effectively inhibit myopia, how big the market must be? It is definitely countless times larger than the market for the specific drug for chronic myelogenous leukemia, and if it can be expanded to the world, there is no problem at all with annual sales exceeding Viagra.
"This is a recipe I made based on an ancient medical book, and there are a few medicines, you can try them!" Shen Long took out a brocade box, which contained these two pills and prescriptions, which could be taken back by Academician Ma Lin for experimentation.
"Hey, the problem now is still the same as before, that is, there are fewer raw materials for medicines." It's okay for the Bodhisattva snake, although it has been harmed a lot by Mei Chaofeng, but there are still more left, barely able to maintain the reproduction of a population, but the xenomorph pit viper is not good, how to find this is the only one.
"It's more troublesome than plant propagation, but it's not impossible, as long as we can determine the value of these two snakes, we can consider cloning." Academician Ma Lin said.
"Cloning technology? I don't think there are many cases of snake cloning, right? Only American scientists have succeeded in cloning anacondas, but anacondas are viviparous snakes, both of which are oviparous snakes, and as far as I know, no scientists in that country have been able to clone shelled oviparous organisms, right? These are the materials that Shen Long found out curiously after watching "Jurassic Park".
Although it is now possible to clone sheep and even monkeys, humans have not cloned shelled oviparous animals, such as birds or snakes.
Beginning with the cloning of the Xenopus toad in 1964 by John Gordon, the father of cloning technology, people have been cloning oviparous animals for decades because they are easy to feed and only need a microscope to operate, and then the newly fused embryos can be thrown into the water to develop; But most of those oviparous organisms are small oviparous organisms that resemble toads, and the eggs they lay are wrapped in a membrane rather than a hard shell like eggs or snake eggs.
"That's true, but now there has been a breakthrough in science, and some companies in the United States are working on ways to clon chickens on a large scale, and they plan to extract embryonic stem cells from eggs laid by improved breed hens, and then produce them on a large scale and inject them into the embryos of other eggs, so the eggshell problem can be solved."
"If the economic value of these two snakes can be proven, then I have a reason to set up a project team and bring in experts in cloning technology to solve this problem!" Although Academician Ma Lin has set the price of specific drugs for chronic myelogenous leukemia very low, considering the consumption power of domestic patients, it can still bring huge benefits to the institute, and he is now fully capable of carrying out research in this area.
"If that's the case, I can also provide some funding!" Shen Long said without hesitation, no one will be afraid of having a lot of money, such a good opportunity will definitely be a free ride.
"That's for the best! I'll go back to the experiments first, and when I figure it out, I'll talk to you about my next steps! "When it comes to scientific research, Academician Ma Lin can't sit down, and he has to go back to do experiments in a hurry.
"There are still some risks associated with these two types of snakes, and you must pay attention to this when doing experiments." Shen Long carefully advised, and then sent Academician Ma Lin away.
The next thing to look at is the research results of Academician Ma Lin, Shen Long is not worried about this, the efficacy of these two pills has already been tested.
Hey, if it can be mass-produced, I drug the players of the national football team every day, I don't know if it can enhance their physique, so that they can rush out of Asia as soon as possible and get tickets to the World Cup finals?
After sending Academician Ma Lin away, Shen Long returned home, this matter has been solved, and then he can concentrate on continuing to ponder the problem of Qimen Dunjia.
Shen Long pondered, this technique might come in handy, but it was not just to tease Arya.
