A doctor who travels through two eras
Chapter 435 Shocking Advanced Laboratory
When they heard that Lin Sanqi was going to take these foreigners to the research institute, everyone at Harvard Medical School became excited.
Visiting a hospital, you will realize that the hospital is just an appearance. In fact, the procedures in hospitals all over the world are the same, including outpatient clinics, diagnosis, prescription drugs or hospitalization.
But the key here is "drug". What drug have you invented to cure tuberculosis? This is the key point.
Knowing that you have a drug, the academic community would like to ask one more question: How was your drug invented? What experimental results did you base your invention on?
This requires a research institute or a key laboratory to provide support.
To judge the level of a hospital, we need to look at their critical care center. Similarly, to judge the level of a university or research institute, we need to look at how many national or world-class laboratories they have.
People with normal logical thinking all believe in "evidence". If you say that you are a time traveler and brought medicine from the future, people will just treat you as a psychopath.
Therefore, if China's infectious disease hospitals want to prove that they have the ability to conquer tuberculosis and kill tuberculosis bacteria, they need a world-class research center and laboratory to prove it.
This is the same reason why Lin Sanqi moved all the experimental equipment from later generations regardless of the risks.
Lin Sanqi led everyone through the side door and brought them to the west courtyard.
Professor Anthony and Professor Theodore were also observing the surrounding environment. European and American laboratories are often independent high-rise buildings with independent ventilation systems and other circulation systems. In two words, it is not "clean".
But now in the eyes of foreigners, this is a park with rows of bungalows.
Although these houses look very oriental in appearance, the shabby and simple buildings are difficult to associate with "advanced laboratories".
Professor Theodore shook his head:
"Anthony, except for the masks that are eye-catching, this Chinese hospital is so backward in other aspects. I really can't imagine how they are leading the world."
Assistant Carol feels the same way:
"The key is that their person in charge is too young. My God, I am 30 years old this year, which makes me one of the youngest doctors in the medical field, but the doctor in front of me is obviously younger than me."
Assistant Blake felt the same way, but it's also possible that they were just jealous.
"If we were in the United States, I'm afraid we wouldn't even be qualified to be professors' assistants. At most, we could be free student researchers. I'm afraid our trip would be in vain."
Professor Anthony was the leader of the group, but he was relatively calm at this moment:
"The matter has not been investigated thoroughly yet, so there is no need for you to jump to conclusions right away. Seeing is believing. You'd better hope that the Chinese side is not lying and that this young Lin is the person in charge. That way we can take advantage of the situation."
The inspection team before us is not a genuine WHO inspection team, but an opportunistic team.
Regardless of whether China has invented anti-tuberculosis drugs or whether it can conquer tuberculosis, they are actually not qualified to make a conclusion, nor are they qualified to announce China's achievements in an official capacity.
For them, the best outcome of this trip to China would be that the tuberculosis issue in China was real, and then they could poach the core figure Lin Sanqi to go to the United States, which would make the trip perfect.
Minister Li and Lin Sanqi walked in front. The old lady quietly observed this white delegation and felt a little strange:
"Comrade Sanqi, look at the disdainful expressions on the faces of these foreigners. It seems that our infectious disease hospital is being looked down upon."
Lin Sanqi shrugged: "It's normal to be looked down upon. Our hospital is really too backward. Minister Li, you have been to foreign countries for inspection, especially Western countries. The hospitals there are really magnificent."
Minister Li said helplessly: "Alas, the new China has just been established and there is a lot of work to be done. There is nothing we can do."
Lin Sanqi comforted:
"It's okay. We should learn from our mistakes and then be brave. If we fall behind, we should find ways to catch up instead of engaging in internal strife. Time is life, time is efficiency, everything Comrade Deng said is true."
Minister Li was a little surprised: "This is very realistic and philosophical. Which Deng? Do I know him?"
Lin Sanqi thought, you must know him, he is now the vice president and Minister Li's superior. But he is about to start a roller coaster of ups and downs, and in the end he will turn the tide and become the second-generation core of the country.
It was under his leadership that our country transformed from a big country into a world power.
Before entering the laboratory, you need to put on protective clothing, hats and shoe covers. The Americans are used to it. After everyone quickly changed their clothes, Lin Sanqi pushed open the door:
"Ladies and gentlemen, let me show you our Chinese biological laboratory. I hope you won't be too surprised."
Several Americans thought, why are they so surprised? Because they are confident that all the instruments in their Harvard University laboratories are the most advanced in the world, how advanced can China be?
What's more, the most advanced experimental equipment could not be exported to China, so Professor Anthony and his colleagues all felt a sense of contempt at this moment.
But when they officially walked into the laboratory, everyone was stunned.
It feels like entering a science fiction world.
The indoor area of the laboratory is very large. It is an entire "palace" that is connected together, with an area of at least one thousand square meters.
The floor is covered with light blue "PVC flooring", and all lighting equipment uses LED light boxes, making the entire laboratory bright and beautiful.
Around the wall are all various large experimental instruments.
In the middle of the laboratory, there are rows of operating platforms placed horizontally, on which are also placed small precision instruments.
A group of researchers were wearing work clothes, with their heads down, operating each instrument, writing and drawing on paper from time to time. The scene was very quiet, with only the occasional ticking sound from the machines.
“Oh my God.”
Professor Anthony was dumbfounded at this time. He couldn't help but let out a sigh. He turned around to look at his companions, and then he found that his companions were also stunned at the scene.
There was only deep shock in Professor Theodore's eyes:
"Oh my God, how can China have such an advanced laboratory?"
The layman sees the excitement, while the expert sees the details. You don't need to know what advanced instruments and equipment are in China's laboratories. Just looking at the high-tech appearance of these machines, you will know that they must be worth a lot of money.
Let me put it this way: they had never seen anything in the Chinese laboratory, and they didn't even know what material the "carpet" they were stepping on was made of.
One of the "translators" immediately raised his camera and started taking pictures.
A leader of my country's foreign affairs department immediately stopped him when he saw it, "Sir, this is a sensitive laboratory, please don't take pictures."
Lin Sanqi waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Let them take the photos. It's useless to just take photos of the exterior without knowing the internal structure."
In fact, what he was thinking was that there is a gap of half a century between 2014 and 1961, which is a complete disparity.
The word "fully automatic" alone is far beyond what the Americans in the 1960s could imitate.
Professor Anthony asked eagerly:
"Lin, it's so surprising that such a backward country like yours, China, actually hides such an advanced laboratory. Oh, please forgive me for being so blunt, but I really can't imagine it."
Minister Li, who was standing nearby, also felt deeply moved and thought to himself, not to mention you guys are surprised, I'm also shocked.
Lin Sanqi began to enter a mild pretentious mode:
"Mr. Professor, the main reason is that our country attaches great importance to the development of science and technology and medicine. Although our country is still poor and backward and our hospitals are still shabby, our leaders have invested all their limited funds in scientific research.
Because our country has always believed that science and technology are the primary productive forces. Only when the level of science and technology is improved can our production and work efficiency continue to improve, so that we can create more material benefits, so that our country has the opportunity to surpass you, the United States, and make China one of the world's powers. "
When the leaders of the foreign affairs department heard this, they all applauded excitedly.
The two leaders of Fengze Garden and Xihua Hall were both sneezing at this time.
Professor Anthony was obviously fooled by Lin Sanqi and couldn't help but sigh:
"Lin, your leaders are amazing and have a very long-term vision. In the past, we heard reports from the US media that China was always engaging in ideology and undermining production and construction. Now it seems that those were all fake news."
Lin Sanqi made a gesture of invitation and began to lead everyone to visit:
"This is a biochemical incubator: its main function is to automatically analyze water and perform BOD determination. It is also a dedicated constant temperature device for the cultivation and preservation of bacteria, molds, and microorganisms.
This machine is a dark box UV analyzer, which can be used for the observation and analysis of nucleic acid, protein electrophoresis gel, and thin layer plate results; this one is a microbial homogenizer, which can extract bacteria from solid samples...
In short, our laboratory is fully automatic. As long as the researcher sets up the instrument program, the instrument can run automatically and finally analyze the experimental results automatically, which once again improves the experimental efficiency.
We even automate our cleaning work. For example, in this ultrasonic cleaning machine, we only need to put the contaminated labware and glassware in, set the timer, and the machine will automatically clean, sterilize and dry. "
At this time, the foreigners were just like Granny Liu in the Grand View Garden, with their eyes wide open and filled with intense curiosity.
The "translator" kept taking pictures the whole time, then kept changing the film and continued taking pictures.
Lin Sanqi was so tired of watching him that he wondered if he should take out his digital camera to show off.
At this time, Professor Theodore pointed at the platform a researcher was operating and asked curiously:
“Lin, we all know that biological laboratories, especially infectious disease laboratories, are very dangerous because it is easy to cause bacteria and viruses to leak during operation and infect the staff.
But when I saw your staff extracting microorganisms from the culture dish, why were they only wearing ordinary work clothes? Aren’t they afraid of being infected and contaminating the entire laboratory? Isn’t this too informal? "
Lin Sanqi led everyone over and came to the work platform.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you are all wrong. You see this instrument, the full name is a glove-type clean bench/biological safety cabinet. Look, is this bench equipped with two half-sleeve gloves?
In fact, the entire internal space of this workbench can filter out microorganisms and particulate matter in the laboratory by filtering the air, thus providing a sterile operating environment.
The design includes vertical flow pattern and quasi-closed glass air door, which can effectively prevent external air flow from penetrating and reduce the irritation of operating odor to the human body.
Working in such a platform, our researchers can guarantee their health and safety 100%. Our country always advocates people-oriented and attaches great importance to human rights. "
Professor Theodore was convinced by this time:
"Fuck, not only are your experimental equipment more advanced than ours, but your concepts are also more advanced than ours. In order to protect the laboratory staff, you even invented this kind of closed work platform. I am so surprised."
After visiting the laboratory for more than an hour, everyone changed their clothes and walked out of the laboratory.
If Americans still showed contempt before, now they have been struck into silence and no longer dare to underestimate China's Infectious Disease Hospital.
If they had seen hundreds of millions of U.S. dollars piled up in front of them, they would not have been so shocked. However, after seeing so many advanced instruments and equipment with their own eyes, they realized the "backwardness" of U.S. laboratories.
Although the translator did not translate a single word, he was deeply shocked.
On the surface, these are just medical instruments for civilian use.
But from the perspective of their special agents, China has already mastered many advanced technologies, and these advanced technologies can be fully used for military purposes.
For example, intercontinental missiles, atomic bombs, the latest fighter jets, submarines and other military weapons also require the support of cutting-edge technology.
In the translator's mind, China's danger level has been raised to the highest level.
Some people may say that the translator should not have been allowed to take photos and visit at will in the first place. If he reports this upon returning to his country, wouldn’t the United States regard China as a threat?
In fact, this is exactly the effect Lin Sanqi wants. What is "nuclear deterrence"?
The purpose is to scare you to death, so that you can evaluate whether you can win the fight before you start. If you can win, how much damage will it cause? Is it worth fighting?
This way, next time there is friction, it would be best for the two countries to just have a verbal battle and for no one to actually take action. Only then can the world be peaceful, right?
After leaving the laboratory, everyone came to the conference room.
After Professor Anthony praised the project for a while, he finally mentioned the question that he was most concerned about during this trip:
"Lin, your laboratory astounds me. This gives me more confidence that your Huaguo Infectious Disease Hospital can invent anti-tuberculosis drugs. Now, do you mind showing us what drugs you have invented?"
Lin Sanqi smiled and said, "Don't mind. I said I would be honest. We have already prepared the medicine."
After saying that, Pan Ye came over with a medicine tray. On the tray were several small glass bottles with red oval pills inside.
"Mr. Professor, this is our latest anti-tuberculosis drug. Its full name is Epyridoxine Tablets. I believe you have read our paper published in the newspaper and should already know the principle of this drug. I will not explain it in detail."
As soon as the Americans got the medicine bottle, they all examined it curiously.
Assistant Clifford is a graduate student in pharmacy. He took out the pill, smelled it, tried a little, and then crushed the pill directly to observe it.
Finally, he said to his companions: "This is indeed a chemical preparation."
If they are confirmed to be chemical preparations, it means that these drugs are "Western medicines" rather than traditional Chinese medicines.
This is very important because foreigners do not trust Chinese medicine. They think that Chinese medicine, which is made from tree roots and grass, is no different from witch doctors. Moreover, the lack of complete laboratory data makes it even more unreliable.
But if it is confirmed to be Western medicine, it means that the paper published in the newspaper is authentic.
Professor Theodore asked curiously, "Does this drug really have a cure rate of over 90% for tuberculosis?"
Lin Sanqi opened a side door of the conference room at this time, pointed to the room full of materials next door and said proudly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, we in China value seeking truth from facts. The 5000 patient records in this room are actually the 5000 human experiment records we collected. I can guarantee with my personal integrity that every one of them is true."
Several foreigners stood up, walked into the reference room, and took out medical records at random:
"Wow, there are medical records in English?"
Lin Sanqi continued to brag:
"What you see is not only the outpatient and inpatient medical records, but also no less than three chest X-rays for each patient, and sputum culture results from three different periods. If you, the World Health Organization, want to verify the authenticity of the medical records, you can randomly check them, and we guarantee to bring the person here."
Professor Anthony randomly checked a few medical records and nodded slightly:
"The medical records are very formal, and the format is the same as our American hospitals. You are very careful in recording them. As for verifying the authenticity of the medical records, I don't think there is any need for that, right?"
In fact, what Professor Anthony was thinking was that if the Chinese side wanted to falsify the data, who knows whether the people they would find would be cured patients or healthy people.
After all, after recovery from tuberculosis, there may be old lesions such as calcifications, fibrous cords, and high-density nodules in the lungs.
But it is more likely that Pulmonary tuberculosis causes less damage to the lungs and the lesions are completely absorbed after treatment.
Therefore, after recovery, the patient's lungs can basically return to normal, and no remaining traces of tuberculosis can be seen on chest X-rays.
Therefore, there is absolutely no need to verify medical records.
Of course, Professor Anthony did not deny the authenticity of these medical records. If there were considerable doubts before, after visiting the laboratory, he felt that the possibility of them being true was greater.
But as a top infectious disease expert, he would rather see it with his own eyes.
"Lin, since we are here, I have a suggestion. In order to verify the real effect of this pyridoxine tablet, I wonder if you can prepare an inpatient ward for us. We are going to admit patients and verify the efficacy of the drug ourselves. What do you think?" (End of this chapter)
