Movie black technology

In response to this decision, a special opinion reference meeting was held in China. As a first-level figure who laid the cornerstone of the universe industry, Chen Shen also participated in this meeting.

And Chen Shen voted in favor of this decision.

Manufacturing medicines in space is not uncommon.

In the last century and this century, relevant experiments have been carried out at home and abroad.

Space has the characteristics of sterility, high cleanliness, and microgravity. There is no convection and precipitation, which can make the ingredients mix more evenly, and many crystals can grow larger and more regular. Suspension processing can avoid pollution and reduce drug impurities, so in space The production and purification of many specific drugs can be carried out.

At the same time, space pharmaceuticals are conducive to the development of some technologies, such as electrophoresis technology.

Electrophoresis refers to the phenomenon that charged particles move toward the opposite electrode under the action of an electric field, while electrophoresis technology uses the fact that when this phenomenon occurs, the charged particles move at different speeds in the electric field, and the different components of the mixture separated from each other.

In layman's terms, the relationship between the mixture and electrophoresis technology is equivalent to the prisoner and the referee on the runway.

As soon as the starting gun was fired, the prisoners who were originally at the same starting point began to run according to their own tracks.

However, due to the different strengths of the prisoners, some are slow as turtles, some are fast, some are in the front, and some are in the back. The distance between everyone on the runway is suddenly widened. At this time, it is much more convenient for snipers outside the field. The possibility of manslaughter is also greatly reduced...

In short, after electrophoresis, the originally inseparable mixture will automatically disperse, and it will be convenient to purify.

Through electrophoresis technology, not only cells and proteins can be separated, but cells can even be screened to separate old and young from a group of cells, or to separate healthy cells from a group of cells containing cancer cells...

It's just that on the ground, electrophoresis technology is difficult to play an effective role.

Because no matter how small the particles are on the ground, they are simultaneously subjected to the precipitation of electric field force and gravity.

When electricity heats the cells or their culture medium, convection and sedimentation occur simultaneously.

If the gravitational force is greater than the electric field force, precipitation will play a major role, otherwise convection will play a major role.

However, both precipitation and convection will remix the components that have been separated, greatly reducing the effect of electrophoretic separation.

Putting this situation back on the runway, the prisoners did not run according to their own runway at all. They left their own runway and mingled together from the start. The snipers outside the field could not shoot and roll their names...

However, this situation caused by gravity will naturally no longer exist in space.

The Apollo-Soyuz spacecraft conducted an electrophoretic separation test during a joint flight.

According to the test results, urinary hormones that help dissolve thrombus or blood coagulation can be isolated from about 5% of kidney cells in a weightless environment.

The urine hormone is separated six to ten times more efficiently in space than on the ground, and of excellent quality.

Many subsequent studies have shown that the purity of a drug produced by electrophoresis in space is more than ten times higher than that on the ground, and the efficiency can even be increased by more than a hundred times in the production scale of the same industry.

In addition, the medicine is just needed, as long as the medicine is better than the ground production, there is no need to worry about selling it.

Chen Shen naturally has no reason to oppose the establishment of a pharmaceutical factory in space.

It’s just pity for the pharmaceutical manufacturers on the earth. They have been severely beaten by photoacoustic detection before. The prospects for the next 30 to 50 years are bleak. After a while, it is estimated that they will be attacked by space pharmaceuticals...

Based on Chen Shen's understanding of the country, although it is said to be a five-year plan, this kind of thing can be completed ahead of schedule, and it will definitely not be delayed.

So he estimates that the design work has already started now, and when the nuclear-powered Tibetan Antelope is completed and the space power officially breaks out, the construction work will officially begin.

It's just that what Chen Shen didn't expect was that the new drug that was decided to go to space for experimental production would appear angular...

The first batch of new drugs to be produced and tested in space has a total of 15 kinds, involving various diseases such as cancer and diabetes.

These drugs need to be declared, reviewed and evaluated by drug research and development companies and institutions with domestic background, and only after passing the test can they officially enter the trial process.

At the same time, in addition to these 15 drugs, there are another 30 new drugs as planned substitutes.

However, Chen Shen saw on the list that among the forty-five drugs in total, there are actually twenty-five drugs whose R \u0026 D parties have angular names, and five of them are also selected as the fifteen drugs on the official list. , accounting for a full one-third.

Afterwards, Chen Shen took a closer look and found that the research and development institutions behind these drugs were not only Angular, but also the names of more than a dozen different pharmaceutical companies and institutions. Behind each drug were Angular Pharmaceuticals plus XX Pharmaceuticals or XX Experiments. room……

In other words, these twenty-five drugs were all developed by institutions different from Angular...

He didn't know himself, when did Angular start to get involved in the pharmaceutical industry?

It wasn't until he was free that he called Comrade Chen to inquire about it.

"I don't know much about the drug research and development side, and I haven't paid much attention to it." Comrade Old Chen looked through the materials for a long time, and asked the assistant next to him.

It was finally confirmed: "This drug company is indeed our branch, but it is different from other businesses. We are just starting out in the research and development of these drugs to provide some ideas for the research and development institutions."

"Provide ideas?"

Speaking of this, Chen Shen suddenly remembered something.

Old Comrade Chen also said on the other side: "Yes, didn't you create an AI program for scientific assistants with Li Jun before? Then you sorted out many documents of new drugs and treatments and handed them over to the company?"

Chen Shen nodded, he had indeed done this.

At the time of Dabai's project, besides the most important photoacoustic scanner, there were also a lot of medicines and treatment instructions in the project, but this part of the information was incomplete, and there was no specific production method. The information disclosed was only some medicines and medicines. Instructions for Therapy.

However, in his view, this information can play some enlightening role.

So later, he asked Li Jun to train an AI scientific assistant. As long as he input the idea of ​​therapy or medicine, he can automatically retrieve ideas similar to the input content from the database.

Through this scientific assistant, he screened most of the useless information in his spare time, and finally sorted out a large file that recorded various drugs and new treatment ideas and handed it over to the company...

"So the drug projects I see are the result of my files?"
