Technological Hegemony

Luo Jia seldom drives in person now. It's not that his driving skills are not good, but that his time and energy are not enough. If he has time to drive, he might as well lie in the back seat and rest for a while. There were so many things to do, even a moment of rest and reflection would be very beneficial to Luo Jia.

After putting on the blindfold, Luo Jia entered a state of meditation, thinking in the ocean of countless files, each folder represents a kind of knowledge or inheritance, some folders also have secondary directories, tertiary directories, quantity How much depends on the difficulty of inheritance.

There are also some huge folders that Luo Jia has almost never opened, such as music and paintings. As a straight steel man with no musical ability, Luo Jia’s understanding of music is limited to the melody is pleasant, the tune is relatively light, etc., but If you want him to distinguish Tchaikovsky and Beethoven, it is basically playing the piano against the cow.

"I still don't have any knowledge about life sciences." Luo Jia frowned and muttered as he browsed through his mind for a moment.

The sound of beeping in the ear is always there, and the data transmission has never stopped. Almost every day, new folders will be formed in Luo Jia's brain.

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

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

The universe is too big. Taking Mars as an example, the shortest distance from the earth to Mars is 54.6 million kilometers, and the farthest is more than 400 million kilometers. Taking the average of 225 million kilometers, it takes 12 miles to travel at the speed of light. 1:5 minutes, it takes almost 200 days for an ordinary aircraft.

It can be seen that if the long life cannot be obtained by life science and technology, it may be difficult for human beings to really go out of the solar system.

Rocket propellant is also an important issue at the moment. Luo Jia put aside his wild thoughts and focused on the two folders of thermodynamics and chemistry. When a person is concentrating, time always passes quickly, and the car arrives at the main base of the Life Science Department in a blink of an eye.

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

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

Many people don't know that when a string of small pink bubbles grow on your mouth, it's not getting angry as Chinese medicine calls it, but you have an incurable viral disease called herpes zoster.

Yes, incurable disease.

Once infected with the herpes virus,

It will stay in your trigeminal nerve for the rest of your life. If your immune function is weakened due to cold, fatigue and other reasons in the future, this virus will take the opportunity to invade the tissue under the mucous membrane of your lips and cause herpes labialis.

Before immune activation therapy, the most powerful drug against herpes virus was called acyclovir, which was developed by GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceutical Group in the United Kingdom. However, acyclovir can only destroy the virus in the tissue, and it can do nothing to the virus dormant in the nerve. , once infected, relapse for life.

Immune activation therapy solves this problem once and for all. By forcibly raising the human immune system, the body is purified. Many viruses that originally parasitized in the body, such as herpes zoster, will be completely eliminated once and for all.

Of course, any treatment has risks, so immune activation therapy is also divided into many levels, the lowest level of existence is the drug, the genotype drug named Golden Capsule.

The biggest pursuit of genetic medicine like Golden Capsule is safety. Regardless of whether it can be cured completely, the first thing to do is to ensure that it is safe to take, and it must not cause a big trouble like Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.

However, due to the emphasis on safety of gold capsules, some curative effects are suppressed, so higher-level treatment measures are needed, that is, the hospital system.

Patients with more serious conditions can receive comprehensive treatment in the hospital to maximize the activation of the immune defense mechanism to fight against AIDS and Ebola and other highly deadly viruses. If foreign patients need it, they can apply for treatment in Huaxia and pay a huge amount for the treatment .

This method has greatly alleviated the problem of layoffs in medical institutions. With immune activation therapy, the medical system obviously no longer needs to maintain a large team of doctors, and overseas patients provide doctors and nurses with job opportunities and good income. It can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

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

This matter is mainly promoted by the Ministry of Health. The work of Xingchen Technology is to ensure the production of drugs and train medical personnel. To a certain extent, the national team is also a partner of Xingchen Technology, and it is the largest of the partners.

"Very 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 research results need to be consolidated and extended to more application fields, those are all It is an auxiliary existence, and the difficulty is not high."

"According to the original plan, we will start the second step in the life science tetralogy, which is metabolic control. What do you think about this?"

The Wen family brothers looked at each other, and finally it was the older brother Wen Chengling who said, "Of course I have ideas, but the main issues are time and safety."

"The major projects in life sciences are connected. So far, we have done some pre-research on metabolism control technology, among which the progress is relatively good, artificially repairing and thickening the dermis to achieve the purpose of anti-aging .”

Anti-Aging?

This thing is good, my mother will definitely like it.

Luo Jia thought in her heart and urged Wen Chengling to speak quickly.

Wen Chengling nodded, "Metabolism control is a huge category, far more complicated than immune system activation, and we put anti-aging research first for two reasons, one is that the difficulty is moderate, and the second is that the benefits are huge."

"After all, both men and women are creatures that love beauty. If we can develop a cosmetic that can rejuvenate the face and have anti-aging functions, the sales will definitely be considerable. Mr. Lu from the finance department has been talking about it recently. Since the company started the space program , the financial pressure is getting bigger and bigger, so we hope to help, and come up with a project that can make money quickly on the basis of the golden capsule."

Luo Jia took Wen Chengling's words seriously. People who say that appearance is not important are probably living in dreams. In the real world, you can refer to giant pandas and Chinese alligators. They are both national first-class protected animals. There is a saying MMP, I don’t know if I should say it or not.

Appearance is justice, this sentence is heart-wrenching, but it is true.

Wen Chengling continued: "North American Food and Drug Administration has ever approved only one anti-aging drug, all-trans retinoic acid, but due to the huge side effects of retinoic acid, skin care products usually do not directly add retinoic acid, but add retinoic acid. The derived substance, retinol, has only one-sixth the efficacy of retinoic acid, but it is milder in nature."

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

"We and our colleagues in the department carefully studied the existing skin care product system, and found that the money in this field is really easy to earn!"

"People are used to calling profiteering products an IQ tax, but in the field of cosmetics, they are all taxes. Where does the IQ come from?"

Puff~

Luo Jia almost burst out laughing after hearing what Wen Chengling said. Cosmetics are all taxed and have no IQ. The Wen family brothers seem to have become more and more straightforward since they came to Xingchen Technology. If some ladies hear this, It will definitely turn heads.

"Did I say something wrong?" Seeing Luo Jia smiling, Wen Chengling asked in confusion.

"No, it's pretty good, let's continue," Luo Jia said.

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

"The top ten cosmetics giants in the world, the L'Oreal Group ranked first. In 2019, they actually collected 31.4 billion U.S. dollars in IQ taxes. The second-ranked Unilever collected 23.5 billion, followed by Estee Lauder, Procter \u0026 Gamble, Shiseido, Avon , Coty, LVMH, Beiersdorf, Johnson \u0026 Johnson.”

"Within the top ten cosmetics companies in the world, there is not a single Chinese company. When Shanghai Jahwa, Proya, Jialan, and Yujiahui are all added up, the sales of the four major domestic brands have just exceeded two billion US dollars, which is less than one-fifteenth of L'Oreal. One, the gap is really too big.”

"If the field of cosmetics also belongs to a kind of hegemony, then this is the forbidden zone of absolute Western rule! This status quo must be broken! If there is an IQ tax in the field of cosmetics, it can only be collected by us!"

It's pretty cool for the Wen brothers to go crazy...

Wait, they seem to be learning from me, making R\u0026D 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 really put their heart into managing the life science department. It is very difficult for the two elders to lead a team to study cosmetics.

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

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

"We plan to focus on the dermis, the main function of this layer of skin is to store water and use collagen and elastin to keep the skin elastic. In addition, the dermis is also in charge of secretion and nutrition, responsible for 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 cause the network structure of the dermis to loosen and form depressions. Wrinkles and sagging appear, and the skin naturally ages."

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

"Anyway, the thicker the dermis, the better. Those who look younger than their peers may not be born beautiful, but more likely because they have thicker skins."

Through metabolism control technology, thicken the skin?

As expected of a scientist of Xingchen Technology, the Wen family brothers' straight male cancer is probably quite serious.

So, what is the name of this cosmetic?

Thick face nourishing cream?

I'm going to describe a high-tech that is destined to cause a global sensation as disgusting. The Wen brothers are really talented.

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