#143 - Chapter 143: Two-way rush! First experiment, new compound is produced!
Downstairs at the laboratory.
Seeing Xia Qingmo waiting from afar, Chen Hao ran over, taking two steps at a time.
“Morning…”
He had just handed over the breakfast when Xia Qingmo, as if performing a magic trick, presented a similar breakfast.
Pan-fried buns.
Soybean milk.
Needless to say, it must be from Dong Tai Xiang!
Both of them were stunned.
Both of their hearts melted.
Love is never a one-sided effort but should be a two-way street, like them at this moment.
“Have you eaten?” Chen Hao asked subconsciously.
“I…”
“How about…”
Chen Hao smiled gently: “We'll have it for lunch later?”
Hearing him say that, Xia Qingmo breathed a sigh of relief.
If she said she had already eaten after he brought her breakfast, it would mean the breakfast he brought was no longer valuable.
But she didn't want to lie, so she hesitated.
Fortunately!
He came to expose the truth, not wanting to embarrass her.
The two went straight to the School of Pharmacy's laboratory.
Just reaching the fifth floor, a logistics staff member was there, holding several cages and eagerly waiting.
“Student Chen.”
The man, in his early thirties, had a friendly face: “The president asked me to hand these over to you, but… the president also said that the school's funding is relatively tight, so please take some time to pay the fees.”
Chen Hao was stunned.
That's right!
A prestigious school like Shangjiao University will never worry about funding in the future, but it is not wealthy at the moment.
He first wanted an independent laboratory for the Materials Science Department.
Then he wanted a pharmacy laboratory.
In the materials laboratory, in addition to the instruments that can be used for a long time, various consumables must also be restocked frequently.
He hasn't paid a penny, has he?
Inappropriate!
“Teacher Zheng, I understand, thank you.”
…
Inside the laboratory.
Looking at the prepared equipment, Xia Qingmo seemed at a loss.
She is only a freshman.
Since the start of school, she hasn't done many experiments, and they were all led by the teacher, with her mostly observing.
Also!
The few previous experiments were all basic pharmacology knowledge, not live experiments.
Really going to work on mice and monkeys?
“Will they… die?” she asked softly.
“Maybe, maybe not.”
Knowing that she was timid and kind, Chen Hao gently took her hand and said seriously: “Every drug development consumes a large number of experimental animals, which seems very cruel, but think about it the other way around.”
“Every day, countless people in our country and even the world are tormented by diseases.”
“What pharmaceutical experts do is to cure more patients and prevent more people from dying in pain.”
Xia Qingmo looked up.
Her starry eyes looked at him earnestly.
After he finished speaking, she nodded vigorously: “I understand the principle, but… it's just that the first time doing an experiment, I always feel a little flustered.”
“It's okay, let's do it together, if we make a mistake, we'll just start over.”
“Yeah!”
The girl nodded vigorously, then became confused again: “We don't seem to have discussed which aspect of the experiment to do, right?”
“We talked about it last time.”
Chen Hao took out the notebook she gave him: “Do you remember last time, I said, can that formula be changed?”
Next.
It seemed as if the two complemented each other.
Chen Hao asked Xia Qingmo about things he didn't understand, and when Xia Qingmo raised questions, Chen Hao followed suit, pondering hard.
But!
The innocent girl didn't realize that Chen Hao had been guiding her thinking towards a certain point.
In the end.
It will inevitably lead to a pre-set point!
First is that formula, whether it can be modified theoretically, and how to modify it specifically.
After the modification is completed, the compound preparation must be carried out, which is also the most difficult hurdle.
Not to mention two freshmen.
For a brand-new compound, even if the molecular formula is known, it is difficult to make it even with a medicinal chemistry expert.
Explore.
Try.
By noon.
After eating the breakfast they exchanged in the morning, the two continued to devote themselves to the experiment.
Gradually, Xia Qingmo relaxed.
It feels very wonderful!
It's as if she has transformed into a scientific researcher, wholeheartedly immersed in research and development.
Nervous and busy, but her thinking is more active than ever, and she can generate a large number of new ideas.
Completely different from doing experiments with the teacher!
During the experiment, her personality seemed to have changed.
No longer timid, cowardly, and inferior.
As if.
She has become a female general who is commanding troops!
The theoretical deduction was finally completed.
However, the compound synthesis encountered a series of problems, and failures followed one after another.
She was not discouraged.
Failure?
Continue!
This is the basic quality of pharmacy majors.
Every new drug development faces countless failures, which is a bit similar to the Materials Science Department.
From morning to noon.
From noon to evening.
Until it was completely dark.
“It's done…”
Finally!
Xia Qingmo stared blankly at the powder at the bottom of the test tube.
The next moment, her beautiful eyebrows stretched out, and the whole person was full of energy: “Chen Hao! We… succeeded!”
“Yes, we succeeded.”
Chen Hao was equally excited, and took the opportunity to spread his arms: “Hug!”
“Yeah!”
At this time, Xia Qingmo didn't have the slightest shyness.
Without considering love, deeply immersed in the joy of success, Chen Hao is not her boyfriend, but a partner who has experienced failure with her until success.
Like a comrade-in-arms.
What's there to be shy about?
Chen Hao's chest poked slightly, and a faint smile rose from the corner of his mouth—sure enough, his wife is very stalwart!
Xia Qingmo can detect some movements.
But there are some things she doesn't know.
For example, modifying the formula and completing the compound synthesis within a day?
Dream on!
Let alone whether this medicine is useful or not.
Just completing the transformation from formula to substance, if it were replaced by other pharmacy experts, it would take months!
The whole process is under Chen Hao's control.
He wants to give his wife a sense of accomplishment and let her personally experience that new drug development will inevitably face countless failures and difficulties, and it is by no means achieved overnight.
Suddenly!
Xia Qingmo's pretty face was flushed, like a startled rabbit, retreating in panic.
Gradually recovering from the surprise.
She found that…
Someone was taking advantage!
“What's wrong?” Chen Hao asked knowingly.
“You…”
She hesitated, not knowing what to say.
Chen Hao saw that she was very flustered, and knew her personality, so he didn't dare to continue teasing: “Let's test the drug?”
The relationship between the two has been advancing, but the speed of advancement cannot be too fast.
Otherwise, it will really scare her!
“What is this for?” Xia Qingmo was confused.
“I don't know either.” Chen Hao scratched his head.
He knows!
But he can't say it, otherwise, even a fool would suspect it.
At the beginning, Xia Qingmo showed him the class notes, and he 'casually' pointed out a formula, 'opening his mouth' to try to modify it.
Next, the two 'discussed' the modification plan and tried it again and again through experiments.
As for what this thing cures…
No!
To be precise.
It can't even be determined whether it is a drug.
“Use different doses on living organisms and record the data.”
Chen Hao pretended to ponder, and said: “Maybe there will be some discoveries?”
Xia Qingmo nodded.
This is a brand new compound.
What is it?
Can it cure diseases?
What disease does it cure?
She knows nothing about it and can only listen to Chen Hao's opinion.
After injecting the mice and monkeys, the two observed for another hour or two, and did not find any other abnormalities.
How could abnormalities be seen in a short time?
The surprise will be in a few days!
