Chapter 454: Trying to Collect Money for the Space Program

Luo Jia rarely drives in person now, it's not that his driving skills are not good, but time and energy don't allow, if you have time to drive, it's better to lie in the back seat and rest for a while, as the pressure increases, there are too many things to deal with, even if it's just a moment to rest and think, it is also very beneficial for Luo Jia.

After putting on the blindfold, Luo Jia entered a meditative state, and her mind wandered in the sea of countless documents, each folder represents a kind of knowledge or inheritance, and some folders have secondary directories and tertiary directories inside, and the number depends on the difficulty of inheritance.

There are also some folders that are huge, but Luo Jia almost never opens them, such as music and paintings, as a straight man of steel with no musical cells, Luo Jia's understanding of music is limited to beautiful melodies, relatively light tunes, etc., but to let him distinguish between Tchaikovsky and Beethoven, it basically belongs to playing the piano to the cow.

"I still don't know anything about life sciences." Thoughts wandered in his mind for a moment, and Luo Jia frowned and muttered.

The sound of dripping in his ears is always there, and the data transmission has never stopped, and almost every day, a new folder is formed in Luo Jia's brain.

However, the knowledge about life sciences has never been seen, which makes Luo Jia secretly a little anxious, wondering if the golden dome belongs to some kind of mechanical civilization and does not master the genetic science skills necessary for carbon-based life, right?

People habitually think of the universe as a matter of space, but in fact it is also a matter of time.

Taking Mars as an example, the closest distance from the earth to Mars is 54.6 million kilometers, and the farthest distance is more than 400 million kilometers, taking an average of 225 million kilometers, it takes 12.5 minutes to fly at the speed of light, and it takes almost 200 days for an ordinary aircraft.

It can be seen that if we cannot obtain a long life with life science technology, it may be difficult for human beings to truly go out of the solar system.

Rocket propulsion fuel is also an important issue at the moment, Luo Jia put aside his thoughts, focusing on the two folders of thermodynamics and chemistry, when people are concentrating, time always flies quickly, and the car is at the main base of the Ministry of Life Sciences in a blink of an eye.

In the Wen brothers' office, Luo Jia listened to the final report on the immune activation program.

Humans are a very fragile species in nature, and viruses are the number one problem for humans.

Many people don't know that when you have a string of small pink bubbles on your mouth, it is not a fire as mentioned in traditional Chinese medicine, but that you have a viral incurable disease, called shingles.

Yes, an incurable disease.

Once infected, the herpes virus will live in your trigeminal nerve for life, and if the immune function is weakened due to cold, fatigue and other reasons in the future, this virus will take the opportunity to invade the tissues under the mucosa of your lips and cause cold sores.

Before immune activation therapy, the strongest drug against the herpes virus was called acyclovir, which was developed by the British GlaxoSmithKline pharmaceutical group, but acyclovir can only destroy the virus in the tissues, and cannot do anything against the virus latent in the nerves, and once infected, it will recur for life.

Immune activation therapy solves this problem once and for all, by forcibly raising the human immune system and purifying the body, many viruses such as shingles, which were originally parasitic in the body, will be completely eliminated once and for all.

Of course, there are risks associated with any treatment, so there are many levels of immune activation therapy, and the lowest level of existence is the drug, a genotype called the Golden Capsule.

The biggest pursuit of the gene drug is safety, whether it can be completely cured, not to mention, first of all, to ensure that it is safe to take, and must not make a big trouble like the Cold Spring Harbor laboratory.

However, due to the focus on safety, some of the efficacy of the gold capsule is suppressed, so a higher level of treatment is needed, that is, the hospital system.

Patients with more serious conditions can receive comprehensive treatment in the hospital to maximize the immune defense mechanism to fight against the highly deadly viruses such as AIDS and Ebola.

With immune activation therapy, it is clear that the medical system no longer needs to maintain a large team of physicians, and overseas patients provide jobs for doctors and nurses with good incomes, which is a double win.

After listening to Wen Chengling's report, Luo Jia nodded with satisfaction.

This matter is mainly promoted by the Ministry of Health, and the job of Xingchen Technology is to ensure the production of drugs, as well as the training of medical personnel, and to some extent, the national team is also a partner of Xingchen Technology, and it is the largest of the partners.

"Good." Luo Jia said with satisfaction: "In this way, our research and development work in the field of immune activation has been completed, although the next step is to consolidate the research results and extend to more application fields, but those are auxiliary existence, and the difficulty is not high." ”

"As planned, we're going to start the second step in the life sciences tetralogy, which is metabolic control, what do you think about that?"

The Wen brothers glanced at each other, and finally it was the elder brother Wen Chengling who spoke: "Of course there are ideas, but the main thing is time and safety. ”

"There is a connection between the major projects of life sciences, so far, we have done some pre-research on metabolic control technology, and the progress is relatively good, which is to artificially repair and thicken the dermis to achieve the goal of anti-aging."

Anti-aging?

This thing is good, my mother must like it.

Luo Jia thought in his heart, urging Wen Chengling to hurry up.

Wen Chengling nodded, "Metabolic control is a huge category, far more complex than immune system activation, and we put anti-aging research in the first place for two reasons, one is that the difficulty is medium, and the second is that the benefits are huge." ”

"After all, both men and women are beauty-loving creatures, if we can develop a way to make the face younger, with anti-aging cosmetics, the sales will definitely be considerable, the finance department of the road has often been talking recently, since the company opened the space program, the financial pressure is increasing, so we hope to help, on the basis of the gold capsule, and then come up with a project that can make money quickly."

Luo Jia thought deeply of Wen Chengling's words, saying that people whose appearance is not important probably live in a dream, the real world can refer to the giant panda and the Chinese alligator, they are both national first-class protected animals, but if you want to talk about the treatment, the Yangtze crocodile has a sentence in his heart, I don't know whether to talk about it or not.

Appearance is justice, this sentence pierces the heart, but it is true.

Wen Chengling continued: "The North American Food and Drug Administration has only approved one anti-aging drug in its history, all-trans retinoin, but due to the huge side effects of retinoid, skin care products usually do not add it directly, but add a derivative substance of retinoid, retinol, retinol is only one-sixth of the effect of retinoid, but it is milder in nature. ”

"It has been proven by the laboratory that the skin care products that can smooth wrinkles and anti-aging are only tretinoin or retinol, and all the other skin care products that claim to be anti-aging are either IQ tax or metaphysics."

"We and our colleagues in the department took a hard look at the existing skincare system and found that the money in this field is simply too profitable!"

"People are used to calling profiteering products IQ tax, but in the field of cosmetics, it's all taxes, where does IQ come from?"

Puff~

Luo Jia listened to Wen Chengling's words, and almost burst out laughing, cosmetics are all taxes, there is no IQ, the Wen brothers seem to be becoming more and more upright since they came to Xingchen Technology, if these words are heard by some women, they will definitely turn their faces.

"Did I say something wrong?" Wen Chengling saw that Luo Jia was laughing, and asked puzzled.

"No, that's good, keep going." Luo Jia said.

Wen Chengling nodded lightly and showed Luo Jia a form, "Mr. Luo, you see, the IQ tax is not terrible, but the terrible thing is that it was all taken away by overseas companies!" ”

"Among the top ten cosmetics giants in the world, the first is L'Oreal Group, in 2019, they collected $31.4 billion in IQ tax, and Unilever, which ranked second, collected 23.5 billion, followed by Estee Lauder, Procter & Gamble, Shiseido, Avon, Coty, LVMH, Beiersdorf, Johnson & Johnson."

"Among the top ten cosmetics companies in the world, there is no Chinese company, adding up all the four major brands of Shanghai Jahwa, Proya, Jialan, Yujiahui, and the four major brands, and the sales volume is just over 2 billion US dollars, less than one-fifteenth of L'Oreal, and the gap is too big."

"If the field of cosmetics is also a kind of hegemony, then this is a forbidden area for absolute Western domination! This status quo must be broken! If the cosmetics field wants to collect an IQ tax, it can only be collected by us! ”

The Wen brothers are furious, it's pretty cool...

And so on, they seem to be following my example, making R&D plans, except that they don't like to use whiteboards, the rest are too similar, and they also collect data first, do market research, industry analysis, and so on.

But this is not bad, it shows that they are really attentive in the management of the life science department, and the two big men led the team to study cosmetics, which is very difficult for them.

In the blink of an eye, many thoughts flashed through Luo Jia's heart, and Wen Chengling's introduction continued.

"The human skin is divided into three layers, the epidermis, the dermis, and the subcutaneous tissue."

"We plan to focus on the dermis, which stores water and uses collagen and elastin to keep the skin elastic, and the dermis is responsible for secretion and nutritional functions, transporting and replacing nutrients in the epidermis."

"The state of the epidermis is actually determined by the dermis, collagen and elastin will gradually be damaged, hardened, and broken over time, which will lead to the loosening of the reticular structure of the dermis, the formation of depressions, wrinkles and sagging on the surface of the skin, and the skin will naturally age."

At this time, Wen Chengfeng interjected excitedly: "Yes, yes, according to our experiments, repairing and thickening the dermis layer can solve the problem of epidermal aging and wrinkles once and for all, and create a youthful feeling of collagen-filled skin." ”

"Anyway, the thicker the dermis, the better, and those who are younger than their peers may not be born beautiful, but more likely to have thicker skin."

Thickening the skin through metabolic control technology?

is worthy of being a scientist of Xingchen Technology, the straight male cancer of the Wen brothers is probably quite serious.

So, what should be the name of this cosmetic?

Cheeky cream?

I went and described a kind of high-tech that is destined to cause a sensation all over the world as very disgusting, and the Wen brothers are really talented.

Luo Jia was speechless for a while, pondering in her heart.
