Chapter 48, smashing pots and selling iron?

The residence of the Gao Cheng family, the bedroom of the Gao Cheng couple

At this moment, this elegantly furnished and luxurious bedroom has become a mess - Persian carpets with gold and silver thread patterns, Imari porcelain from Kyoto's famous masters, colorful "Kyoyuzen" silk kimonos, mink coats from Russia, ukiyo-e paintings from the Edo period, Swiss watches from Patek Etsune, furniture, perfumes and skincare products from Chanel...... All of these qiē luxuries, which represented the nobility of high society, were rudely dismantled by the owner of the room, and then crammed into a huge machine in the center of the room, eventually turning into strings of numbers and stacks of banknotes, which were spit out of a hole at the bottom of the machine.

“…… Mom! Don't! Isn't this one your favorite sapphire necklace? ”

Miss Saya Takajo was walking out of her room with two small dresses and a pair of small red leather shoes that she could no longer wear, and when she looked up, she saw her mother holding a sapphire necklace the size of a pigeon's egg and stuffing it into the [automatic pawn machine], and she couldn't help but scream.

However, Lady Yuriko Takashiro shook her head with a smile while resolutely stuffing the sapphire necklace into the pawn item entrance of the machine.

At the same time, Soichiro Takashiro also walked over with a large suitcase, pawned a dozen high-end suits, five or six pairs of leather shoes, and a box of gold-plated tie clips, and then worked with his wife to lift the latest style of home theater LCD TV and stuff it into the [automatic pawn machine] - anyway, there is no TV show to watch now, and even the power supply will be cut off in a few days, so what's the use of keeping it?

In addition, the floor lamp, table lamp, sand and dresser in this bedroom have long disappeared without a trace.

Although Mr. and Mrs. Gao Cheng were very open to this, and felt that these things were not brought to life or death, their daughter did not think so.

--Looking at the empty room where Xun changed from familiar to unfamiliar, Saya Takashiro couldn't help but feel his eyes red, and he felt the urge to cry.

“…… Woo, furniture, electrical appliances, clothes, and even my mother's jewelry have been sold! Father! Mom! Are you going to fill all the valuable things in our house into the bottomless pit of these otherworldly liars? ”

She yelled as she threw her old clothes into the [automatic pawn machine].

Then, Saya Takashiro was grabbed by the shoulders by her mother, Yuriko Takashiro, and looked into her eyes, and persuaded in a serious voice:

“…… Saya-chan! Stop kidding yourself! Whether they are liars or not, you should know better than we do! A bamboo dragonfly that can fly with it on its head, a wonderful submarine that can dive underground, and a tote bag that can catch a living person...... This qiē is enough to prove their identity! What's more, they also saved your life from the zombie-infested vine beauty garden! Our Gaocheng family doesn't have a tradition of revenge! ”

“…… And, regardless of whether the cat-type machine and its companions are really Doraemon and the others as we know them, they do have the ability to heal people infected with the zombie virus! Right now, these people from another world are our only saviors! No matter what, you can't be offended! What's more, now that the whole world has collapsed, these expensive brand-name goods at home are not as good as a bottle of mineral water and a pack of compressed dry food! ”

His father, Soichiro Takashiro, also sighed and touched Saya's head, echoing and said, "...... If the zombies invade this mansion, no matter how expensive these things are, they won't save our lives. Even if we escaped from the city and took refuge in the mountains of Lake Okumei, we would not be able to move these bulky belongings...... So...... Stop being petty! Saya! You're causing trouble to everyone! ”

“…… All right! Dad, Mom, I bear that I was wrong. Under the gaze of his parents, Saya Takashiro lowered his head a little unwillingly, "...... However, for this vaccine, they actually offered us 280 billion yen, which is outrageous. ”

In response to this typical layman's point of view put forward by his daughter, Soichiro Takashiro and Yuriko Takashiro exchanged a complicated look...... In the end, it was Yuriko Takashiro who coughed dryly and replied, "...... That one...... Saya-chan, you may not know much about this aspect of things. However, according to the information my mother has gathered when she has been investing and managing money on Wall Street over the years, it is true that she has to spend so much money to prescribe a new vaccine......

-- In a modern society with a rigorous scientific system and complicated legal procedures, the birth of any new drug is no longer a flash of inspiration concocted by a few genius scientists in a small workshop, but has become a costly and time-consuming systematic project.

First, scientists must create a variety of compounds that may affect the physiology, biochemistry, and pathology of the body based on the current understanding of diseases and how the human body works. Then, from the huge compound options composed of hundreds of thousands of compounds, the suitable object is screened out, its composition and structure are constantly improved, its toxicity is reduced, and its target pertinence is enhanced, so that it is suitable for metabolism in the human body and remains stable in the normal environment, so as to obtain the initial test sample, and then determine its quality standards and stable properties, and clarify its production mode.

After a series of efforts, the new compound can finally leave the chemical chamber and enter the animal stage. But after determining the efficacy of a new drug in animals and having a general understanding of its pharmacological and toxicological characteristics, it is necessary to move on to the human real stage, which entails huge ethical responsibilities and clinical risks, in order to save money and avoid lawsuits, pharmaceutical companies often use these experimental drugs on people in poor third world countries. Even Japan's major cities, which had not yet taken off in the early postwar period, served as alternative bases for human trials at Pfizer for a while.

Next, a series of precision-designed and orchestrated drugs are clinically implemented in human trials, thousands of subjects are recruited for research, and after reliable results are achieved and approved by the drug regulatory authorities, the compound can be produced and circulated as a new drug.

Therefore, in the pharmaceutical industry of Europe, the United States and Western countries in the modern world, most of the new drugs with truly breakthrough efficacy often take more than ten years to develop, and the research cost may be as high as billions of dollars!

(There are also low-cost new drugs, for example, when Lao Wang was interning in the hospital, he had a headache to death because of the name of the drug, which is obviously the same compound, but it can have seventeen or eighteen names, and it is becoming more and more year by year.) Because every time the government forces a price adjustment, pharmaceutical companies will change the name of their products to avoid price reductions -- obviously, the research cost of this kind of domestic "new drug" is infinitely close to zero...... )

In short, in this case, Doraemon offers 280 billion yen, or 2.8 billion U.S. dollars, to the world's natives for a special vaccine for the zombie virus...... Although it is not cheap and good, it is already within the average market range of the industry.
