The Goddess Shines on America

After nearly a year of use, the underground laboratory has long since become Ivan Delof's second home, an area where he and Alice often hang out. Since the little orangutan Caesar arrived in London in the summer, the research on the "I virus" has finally reached the stage of biological experiments. Since the beginning of September, a large number of mice have been transported to the laboratory.

The airlock opened, and the steel door slowly opened, with a thickness of one inch, and the small glass windows were also made of bulletproof glass of the same thickness. There is a whole row of biological cabins in the room, and in the palm-sized space, groups of mice are chattering and chirping, startled by the girls who suddenly walked in.

Ivan stood at the door and explained to Alice: "A-5 to A15, and C-6 to C-12, F-12 to F23, G-8 to G-16; above, I injected them respectively Influenza virus, and hepatitis A virus, and the mice in group A and group F were injected with virus I for observation."

The two curious girls looked at the four groups of white mice, and it could be observed that the little ones in Group A and Group F seemed to have nothing wrong with them, they were still alive and kicking and screaming. However, the two groups that were injected with the pathogenic virus but not the I virus were obviously extremely depressed, and most of them lay listlessly on the bottom of the incubator, ignoring the melon seeds for dinner that were close at hand.

Sissy was the first to ask, "How long have you been conducting these two controlled experiments?"

Ivan walked out of the room while talking: "Three days, I will take out the experiment report immediately, wait for a while."

Seeing him walking out, Sissy clicked her tongue and whispered to Alice: "Hey, Alice, did you hear that this guy actually used the hepatitis virus, he is really brave!"

"What I'm thinking right now is how he got this virus..."

Alice looked at the corner of her mouth and said, "The British CDC department? It seems that his connections are not bad. If there is no formal application from a large medical research institution, how can the CDC easily borrow virus samples. Tsk tsk..."

To be reasonable, of course, Alice didn't keep watching Ivan's movements, she only came here to stroll around here every now and then, after all, she specialized in surgery. Moreover, there are some things that are not rushed for a while, and she is indeed undercapitalized, so the pace should be slowed down, and it is good for the relevant people to play by themselves.

Now it seems that this professor really did not disappoint her. At some point, he managed to obtain hepatitis virus for experimentation. Good guy, this is far from doing research on common colds and fever-causing bacteria. It's a typical behavior of rich and handsome!

In a short while, Ivan had returned from the outhouse, holding a stack of A4 papers in his hand: "Alice, why don't you take a look?"

"Nice job, Evan, it's hepatitis virus."

Alice took the documents and asked, "From the CDC?"

Seeing the girl's blinking expression, Ivan smiled. Of course he knew what she meant: "Of course, James Marcus, the director of the UK Center for Disease Control and Prevention, was my tutor at the university."

Well, that's how it is!

Sissy looked dazed, while Alice laughed, found a chair and sat down, and began to read the research report.

In one word, things are going well.

First of all, since Eaton resigned, Ivan Deloof has been doing this virus research full-time. Even if it is counted from September 1st, it has been working full-time ten hours for two months. With Alice's abundant financial support of 500,000 yuan per month, it is not surprising that the extracted I virus can be used to make preliminary immune drugs.

Of course, of course, the so-called preliminary immune drugs are just a general term. Yiwen's current practice is to experimentally extract the lymph fluid of mice, and he was pleasantly surprised to observe that virus I can not only perfectly combine with orangutans, but also perfectly symbiosis with the white blood cells of mice.

In this way, when he injected the added lymph fluid back into the mice, a conceptual "universal vaccine" was formed. The next step is to observe the resistance of the mice injected with the "vaccine" to various pathogenic viruses.

But after simply scanning the experiment records, Alice was depressed, because the information looked a bit of a headache.

Whether it's flu or hepatitis, she doesn't have a deep understanding of the degree of pathogenicity of each step. Although the content itself can be understood, she can only understand the uncommon medical words. Although it is clear that the mice that have been injected with the "vaccine" are recovering, and the mice that have not been injected are getting more and more emaciated, but as amateurs, they lack the excitement of industry experts.

But praise is definitely necessary, after all, she can still understand the report itself: "Well done, Evan, our mice are recovering!"

Ivan smiled and dragged a chair to sit down, looking at the densely packed incubator doors that occupied the entire wall, and at the mice behind the glass hatches that were either alive or lying down, he still spoke softly: "It is estimated that in one day, the influenza-affected group A should be completely cured, but the current symptoms show that the hepatitis-affected mice in group F will have another three days, and everything is not over yet."

These words made Sissy a little confused. After all, what she was studying hard was the knowledge of business management and accounting: "The cure of hepatitis should be more difficult than the flu, right?"

"It's quite a disease of two kinds, my dear."

No longer an expert, Alice also knows some common medical knowledge: "One is viral infection of the respiratory tract, and the other is due to factors such as viruses, bacteria, parasites, chemical poisons, drugs, alcohol, and even autoimmunity, which cause liver cells to destroyed. They..."

"None of them can be resisted by the body's own immunity."

Ivan was afraid that he couldn't stand the nonsense of two laymen. When he rushed to talk, his volume rose sharply: "Otherwise, influenza and various types of hepatitis would not become the most important diseases for the CDC. And What we are now encountering is that, relying on the symbiotic effect of this I virus, the mice can actually cure these two diseases with their own immunity! This is simply..."

"The archenemy of incumbent pharmaceutical companies."

Turning her mind back to the business field, Alice has something to say: "Even if this kind of immunity improvement is permanent, it will definitely last for a long time. But most pharmaceutical companies happen to rely on continuous Patients sell medicines to continue to earn income. If we really develop a universal vaccine for I virus and make all customers invulnerable, then wait to become the target of public criticism!"

This field is also understood by Sissy, she nodded her head vigorously, and agreed with Ji You's point of view: "Yes, yes, just for the medicines for influenza and various types of hepatitis, how much profit margin does the world have every year? If we rely on This virus directly makes everyone no longer sick, even if they can charge high profits at one time, it is not conducive to long-term development."

"You two children..."

Ivan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "So, the situation I am facing now is to choose between scientific research achievements and commercial interests?"

"The achievement of destroying the world is also great, but I guess no one except a madman would want to get it."

Alice couldn't think of Ivan's thoughts. She said: "The situation has not been confirmed yet. After all, you are just experimenting with two viruses on mice. You really don't know how far you have to go when it is used in humans. Wait." Let me buy a pharmaceutical factory first, it is the time to make money recently, maybe it will be fine in a few days?"

"Ah, yes, last Monday's stock market crash, the Times and the Daily Mail were endlessly reporting on that stuff."

After all, Ivan is not a super nerd who doesn’t listen to things outside the window, and he pays attention to the "Black Monday" that caused the British stock market to fall badly. He pays attention to it every breakfast: "But Alice, are you really planning to short at this time? Once A loss is not a small loss, you have to take it easy."

For Ivan's concern, Alice, of course, thanked him all, but didn't say anything more. As for my stock trading ability, I can’t explain it clearly in a few words. Seeing that it’s getting late, after briefly paying attention to the latest research situation, Alice took Sissy’s hand and embarked on the journey back to campus. journey.

At this time, it was already 8:30 in the middle of the night, which was the busiest time on Halloween. After dinner, all the residents of the small town took to the street. After all, it was much more interesting to watch the rare dance of demons by the Eton students in the business district than to watch TV at home.

"It seems that we should really speed up!"

When Alice walked back to the business district, she stood at the crossroads, holding the heavy long-handled sickle, and said to Sissy: "I have made a lot of money in the stock market this time, and many plans can be made in advance." Already!"

"In advance...the word is a bit subtle."

Sissy held Alice's hand, her eyes lingered on her body: "Are you still planning to rule the world?"

"Well... I really have to do the math."

Still continuing to stroll on the street, ignoring the astonishing gazes of the boys around her, Alice pondered, looking at the bright starry sky, the land covered with stone slabs, and all the demons dancing around, and said with a tusk: " This stock market crash has been a turbulent period at the end of November, and I am not sure how much money I will make in the end."

In this regard, Sissy is noncommittal, because making money in the stock market does have too much uncertainty. She already has a father who is a senior venture capitalist. For a while, she has been watching Alice's operations. It's really no one who can earn the 600 million yuan as the start-up capital before the end of November. predictable.

"Well...forget about that, Ellie, take me for a walk in the park?"
