Chapter 1114: Good news
When I came out of the Medical Research Center, it was already past three in the afternoon.
In the past few hours, Zhou Yang has been staying with Song Shi's research team and had in-depth exchanges and discussions with them about the ongoing Haemophilus influenzae type b infection vaccine project.
Although this disease is named after influenza, its destructive power is far beyond what we imagine as a cold. More than half of the clinical characteristics of this disease are meningitis, accompanied by fever, headache and neck stiffness.
It can also manifest as cellulitis, arthritis or sepsis, etc., with a mortality rate of 3%-6%.
What is particularly frightening is that this disease is particularly unfriendly to children and newborn babies. Taking the thief eagle as an example, the incidence rate of children under 5 years old is 40-100/100,000, and it is the leading cause of death from bacterial pneumonia in children.
The second disease.
The sequelae are very serious, and more than 20% of survivors have permanent hearing loss.
Therefore, many developed countries in the world are currently developing Hib homologous vaccines. However, the development of this kind of vaccine is very difficult. So far, no country has made a major breakthrough.
In fact, the world's first Hib homologous vaccine only began large-scale clinical use in 1995, and the effect was immediate.
Taking the thief eagle as an example, after using the hib homologous vaccine, their child incidence rate dropped to <2/100,000, a reduction of more than 95%.
Our country is also one of the countries where this kind of influenza is rampant. Every year, a large number of children suffer huge casualties due to this disease, so vaccine research and development is imperative.
However, because the Hib homologous vaccine is technically difficult and has even surpassed the second-generation hepatitis B vaccine, the progress of Song Shi and others has been very slow.
After understanding the situation, Zhou Yang immediately took out some of his experiences and shared them with them.
It is said that if a famous teacher gives you one step of guidance, you will avoid many detours!
These experiences of Zhou Yang have been verified in reality, and are naturally of great help to Song Shi and others.
During the communication process, Song Shi and others were delighted to find that after they talked about the problems they encountered during the research process, Zhou Yang could propose corresponding solutions.
Although these solutions have not been verified and I don’t know if they will work, they did provide them with many new ideas.
Therefore, since the meeting in the morning, the researchers in their group have been pestering Zhou Yang, unwilling to let him leave, and even had lunch in the conference room!
Zhou Yang also understood them, so he did not complain and cooperated fully.
It was not until three o'clock in the afternoon that most of the issues were finally exchanged, and Song Shi and others let Zhou Yang leave.
…
On the jeep, seeing Zhou Yang leaning on his seat slightly tired, Chen Beixuan's eyes flashed with worry.
He found that Zhou Yang was even busier at work since Li Youwei went to the capital to study.
Every day I get off work much later than before, and sometimes I even stay overnight in the research institute when I get busy.
He wanted to persuade Zhou Yang, but he didn't know how to speak, and he also felt that even if he tried to persuade him, it would not be effective. His leader was a pure and stubborn donkey.
Thinking of this, Chen Beixuan immediately said: "Where are we going now? Do you want to go home and rest for a while?"
"No, go directly to Professor Yang and the others!" Zhou Yang said.
"yes!"
Soon, the car arrived at the color TV project department!
As soon as he arrived, Zhou Yang was spotted by a female professor from Western Polytechnic University, who invited him directly to Yang Guoan's office.
At this time, five or six old professors were discussing something in Yang Guoan's office.
Seeing Zhou Yang push the door open and come in, several people immediately stood up and came to greet him.
Despite his age, Zhou Yang was barely able to be their student at such a young age, but everyone present knew Zhou Yang's local prestige.
He is not only the director of this national first-level research institute, but also the village chief of Babaoliang United Village. He is also an expert across multiple fields.
If scientists had a hierarchy, Zhou Yang would definitely be at the top of the pyramid. Such a person deserves their respect!
"Director Zhou, you are finally here, sit down quickly!" Yang Guoan said with a smile.
Zhou Yang immediately responded with a smile: "I kept you waiting for a long time, the institute is really a bit busy!"
"Understood...understood, I know you are a busy man. If there were some things that we really couldn't decide, we wouldn't bother you!" Yang Guoan said.
"What's the matter? You can't even make the decision?"
"It's like this. After this period of research, we have clearly studied all the production processes of color TVs..."
Hearing this, Zhou Yang's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked hurriedly: "Professor Yang, do you mean to say that you have already designed the production line for color TVs?"
"Yes, but now it can only be considered as an idea on paper. The specific results will depend on the situation after the factory is built!" Yang Guoan said.
"I understand, it was Mr. Ma who took the mule out for a walk before he knew it. That's why you keep calling me here today just to talk about building a factory?" Zhou Yang said.
"right!"
Then Yang Guoan continued: "Building a factory is a big deal after all. Where will the factory be built and where will the workers be found? You have to pay attention to these things!"
"Furthermore, building a factory requires a lot of funds. Our scientific research funding at NPU has been cut by more than half this year, and we really can't come up with the money..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yang said directly: "Professor Yang, money is not an issue. We have already prepared the funds to build the factory. You just have to be confident and bold!"
"That's great!"
Overjoyed, Yang Guoan said again: "We have been calculating the budget for building a factory during this period. If we only build one production line to test the effect, seven or eight million will be enough."
"If you want to make a few more strips, the investment will be huge. Counting the expenses on workers and raw materials, you will have to prepare at least several million!"
"It shouldn't be enough. The money you always mentioned shouldn't include the land for building the factory, right?" Zhou Yang said.
"right!"
Zhou Yang thought for a while and said: "Actually, I have seriously considered building a factory before. I think not only should we build this factory, but we should also build two factories!"
"two?"
"Yes, one is to build a TV factory, and the other is a TV production line factory!"
Then Zhou Yang said again: "We are embarking on this color TV project not only to produce color TVs, but more importantly, we want to sell production lines. That thing is much more cost-effective than selling TVs!"
As far as Zhou Yang knows, there are not many countries in the world that have a complete set of color TV production technologies. There are only a few countries such as Thief Eagle, Wooly Bear, Foot Pot Chicken and Gallic Chicken.
When they export their technology, the price is very high, easily hundreds of millions of dollars.
In order to allow citizens to watch color televisions, China purchased multiple production lines from abroad in a very short period of time, consuming billions of dollars.
Now that they have a thorough understanding of the production technology, even if the price they offer is only half that of foreign countries, the profits will still be considerable.
"Comrade Zhou Yang, where do you want to build these two factories?" Hou Junbao asked.
"The TV factory is built in Qingcheng or Ningshi. These two cities are connected by railways and have convenient transportation. The products they produce can be shipped to all parts of the country!"
Then Zhou Yang said again: "But I think it is better to build the color TV production line factory in Qin Province. The reason is simple. The industrial foundation in Qin Province is better than that in Saibei Province and is suitable for production equipment!"
"I think it's okay!" Professor Yang said.
Hou Junbao, another pillar on the side, also echoed: "This arrangement is very reasonable, but if you want to build a factory, you can start now. If it is later, it may affect the progress of the project!"
Zhou Yang nodded and said, "Okay, you get the plan here and leave the rest to us!"
"The plan has come out, now we just need to improve the details before it can be implemented!" Yang Guoan said.
"Okay, then I'll go back and communicate with Director Gu and Comrade Qiao Weiguo. Let's complete the procedures as soon as possible and then we can start work!" Zhou Yang said.
"OK..."
