The rolling mill laboratory now has a total of 31 employees, including 26 researchers, and is personally managed by Li Donglai.
The three administrative staff are managed by Zhang Qingcui. Mo Shanfeng is responsible for the maintenance of the instruments.
Hua Ting was appointed by Li Donglai as the external liaison officer of the laboratory because of her high level of foreign language skills and experience in internship abroad.
At the first general meeting, after a vote by all staff, Li Donglai changed the name of the steel rolling mill laboratory to Red Star Laboratory.
And started researching the first project after the establishment of the laboratory.
With everyone watching, Li Donglai pulled over a blackboard and wrote a complex chemical formula on it: C22H30N6O4S.
The researchers were all confused when they saw the chemical formula, but they wisely chose to remain silent because they had already completed three projects with Li Donglai and knew Li Donglai's style.
However, Hua Ting couldn't help it, raised her hand and asked loudly: "Dr. Li, what molecular formula did you write? Can it really exist stably?"
Isn't this a joke? Just write down a molecular formula, and then let researchers start to study how to create a drug with the molecular formula. What is the difference between shooting an arrow and then drawing a bull's-eye on the spot where the arrow hits?
Li Donglai explained with a smile: "Comrade Hua Ting's concerns are correct, but I have conducted research for two months to confirm that this drug can exist stably."
"..." Hua Ting was speechless for a moment. Although she didn't believe Li Donglai's so-called two-month research, there was no way to prove that Li Donglai really didn't do any research.
She was silent for a moment and asked: "Dr. Li, have you also studied the efficacy of this drug?"
Li Donglai: "Don't tell me, I just happened to study it. It can be used to treat cardiovascular diseases, but the effect is not obvious. The key is its side effects. It has a good effect on some people who are weak.
"
Yes, C22H30N6O4S is the molecular formula of sildenafil citrate, and sildenafil citrate also has a popular name called Little Blue Pill.
In the 1990s, sildenafil was developed as a drug to treat cardiovascular diseases, but the therapeutic effect was not obvious in clinical trials. Researchers were ready to admit that the research and development failed and end the research and development of sildenafil.
, as a result, when the clinical drugs were recovered, it was found that the healers were unwilling to hand over the remaining drugs after receiving the trial drugs. After further investigation, it was found that this drug had improved the patient's married life.
Since then, sildenafil has gone from a failed cardiovascular disease drug to a boon to men all over the world.
The pharmaceutical giant Pfizer also made a lot of money from sildenafil.
When Li Donglai traveled to this world, of course he couldn't see Pfizer Group taking the lead. He had already planned to study sildenafil, but later he delayed it because there were drugs that were more urgently needed to be studied.
The now officially established Red Star Laboratory belongs to him alone, and the first drug he thought of was sildenafil.
Hua Ting still found it a bit incredible, and was about to continue asking. Buffett, who was sitting next to her, had his eyes widened with an obsessed look on his face: "Oh my god, to have such a beautiful chemical formula, this kind of drug must be
It has a miraculous effect.”
Hua Ting held her forehead, feeling a little embarrassed. This former medical genius in North America had completely become Li Donglai's little fanboy.
Li Donglai continued: "Since everyone has no objections, I announce the formal establishment of the sildenafil citrate project. We need to produce samples of the drug as early as possible before November.
Now I divide the researchers in the laboratory into two research groups. The first group has Professor Li Chunyang as the group leader, and its members include Professor Liu, Professor Zhang...
The leader of the second group is Professor Buffett, and its members include Professor Huang, Dr. Liu...
Zhang Qingcui is the head of the equipment department and is responsible for providing equipment and consumables.
Comrade Hua Ting is the head of the External Relations Section and is responsible for releasing information to the outside world.
Starting today, all research projects in our laboratory are set to confidentiality level, and no one is allowed to release information to the outside world without authorization."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of fierce applause in the laboratory.
Li Donglai pressed his hands down, and after the laboratory became quiet again, he said loudly: "To celebrate the official establishment of our laboratory, I specially purchased a big fat pig from the food station. Let's eat meat and vegetables as a snack for lunch."
"Okay!! Eat meat! Eat meat!"
The applause in the laboratory became even more intense.
------------------
Nan Yi and Liang Ladi, the back cook of the cafeteria and hospital, were marveling at a big fat pig.
Big fat pigs weighing more than 300 kilograms are rare these days.
Gu Shen was sitting in the truck. When he saw Li Donglai coming out of the laboratory, he quickly jumped out of the truck, pointed at the big fat pig and said, "How about it? I know your brother wants to treat me, so I specially gave you the best pig in the food station."
Sent."
Li Donglai took two steps forward and looked at the snarling fat pig in the iron cage, feeling speechless in his heart.
"Won't you kill the pig and bring it back? Take a look at my place, does it look like there is a place with tools for killing pigs?"
Gu Shen waved his hand disapprovingly: "Brother Donglai, I am doing this for your own good. If the pig is slaughtered and then delivered, the offal such as pig blood, pig heart and lungs will belong to our food station. This belongs to the food station.
It's an old rule.
We are buddies, but we can't break the rules.
However, you don’t have to worry, I brought the master butcher to you.
"
He waved to the back, and a burly man came over carrying a butcher's knife.
She is none other than Shazhu's daughter-in-law, Yu Juhua.
Yu Juhua walked up to Li Donglai and said angrily: "Brother Donglai, don't worry, you will take care of the pig slaughtering job on me, and I promise to do it properly for you."
Since Juhua personally performed the surgery, Li Donglai felt relieved and said with a smile: "Just tell me what you need."
Yu Juhua said: "Brother Donglai, you are the leader, just stand aside and rest." She pointed at Nan Yi who was watching the excitement: "That thin man, go and boil a pot of hot water."
"Skinny guy? Me? Hey, okay, okay." Nan Yi was stunned for a moment, and then Liang Ladi elbowed him, and then he came to his senses.
Li Donglai looked at the two people's unintentional little actions and knew that something good was about to happen for them.
From Li Dong's point of view, the two were a match made in heaven.
Although Liang Ladi is a mother of three children, she got married relatively early and is now only thirty years old. She has a very capable figure and appearance, otherwise she would not have been harassed by the boss in the machinery factory. The most important thing is,
She has a good background and her family is poor for three generations. She raised three children and won her the praise of her neighbors.
Nanyi's family was wealthy and he was in his thirties. Since he was the descendant of the imperial chef, his family background was not very good.
If the two can get married, they will complement each other's strengths.
Since placing Nan Yi and Liang Ladi in the cafeteria of Red Star Hospital, Li Donglai was busy with laboratory matters and did not pay attention to the two of them.
Seeing the scene just now, Li Donglai knew that the day for the wedding banquet would soon come.
On the other side, Yu Juhua continued to assign tasks: "That lesbian, eh, that means you! That lesbian who was flirting with the gay man just now, go help me move a table."
Liang Ladi, who had always been dignified and generous, blushed on the spot and entered the warehouse.
There were helpers in the canteen of the steel rolling mill who specialized in making fires. It only took more than twenty minutes for the water in the pot to boil.
Yu Juhua walked to the iron cage and stretched out her hand to untie the iron chain on the iron cage. Liang Ladi said worriedly: "Master Yu, pigs are very strong. Should we be prepared before opening the cage? Otherwise
If you run away, you will be in trouble."
Yu Juhua snorted disdainfully: "You're worrying! There is no pig in this world that can escape my Yu Juhua's grasp."
As she spoke, she pulled off the iron chain and the door of the iron cage opened immediately.
The big fat pig trapped in the cage finally got the chance to escape and ran out towards the door.
But as soon as its front hooves stepped out of the cage, it saw the strangest scene in Zhusheng's life. Yu Juhua grabbed its front hooves and actually lifted it up.
Are you kidding me? I'm a fat pig weighing more than 300 pounds. Can you respect me a little?
Perhaps because he was too shocked, Fatty Pig forgot to struggle for a moment.
"Get on the rope!"
Yu Juhua threw the big fat pig on the table, took the rope, and quickly tied it up.
At this time, the big fat pig realized that the man in front of him was the butcher, and he started to struggle "Ouch, Ouch, Ouch".
The table shook "clang, clang, clang, clang".
"Noisy!"
I saw Yu Juhua holding up the butcher's knife. The white knife went in, the red knife came out, and the pig's blood spurted out from the neck of the big fat pig like a fountain.
Yu Juhua kicked the basin she had prepared long ago under the table.
Hey, it's just right, no pig blood leaked out at all.
After the pig's blood was drained and the pig's hair was shed, Yu Juhua picked up the enamel basin, scooped out the boiling water from the iron pot, and poured it on the pig without any help from others.
Then, he picked up the butcher knife and started scraping.
Opening the intestines, breaking up the belly, and pulling out the bones and tendons are all done in one go.
After the pig was killed, she very considerately divided the pork into small pieces.
The onlookers were stunned to see a big fat pig being killed by Yu Juhua.
Liang Ladi gave a thumbs up: "Sister Juhua, you are so awesome!"
Yu Juhua picked up a rag and gently wiped the butcher knife, and smiled: "What's this? Every year when the Chinese New Year is approaching, I don't kill ten or eight pigs that day."
Li Donglai looked at Yu Juhua silently from the side. He Zhongzhong understood why Silly Zhu was so honest.
------------------
A big fat pig from head to tail couldn't be eaten by more than thirty researchers in the laboratory, so Li Donglai simply decided to let the doctors and nurses from the hospital join in the fun.
It has to be said that when the ingredients are available, Nan Yi, a serious cook, can cook much better dishes than Sha Zhu.
The researchers and employees all had their mouths full of food, and the air was filled with joy.
Gu Shen, who had stayed in the cafeteria without returning to the food station, silently walked to Zhang Qingcui, took out a notebook from his pocket and placed it on the table: "Comrade Zhang Qingcui, I asked someone to buy this from other places and give it to me.
you."
The notebooks are the ones with red plastic covers, which are much more upscale than the notebooks found in department stores.
After all, plastic production is relatively small these days, so it is very valuable.
Zhang Qingcui was stunned for a moment, and when she saw everyone's eyes turned towards her, her face suddenly turned red.
She handed the notebook back to Gu Shen and said, "No, I can't ask for your gift." After saying that, she ran away like a frightened deer.
Gu Shen held the notebook and looked a little depressed.
He also had no experience chasing girls. A good friend gave him some advice. As long as he was willing to spend money to do what he wanted, the girl would surrender obediently.
Zhang Qingcui's hobby was reading, so Gu Shen used his connections to buy this notebook from the south at a high price, but was ruthlessly rejected.
He felt a little hopeless for a moment, and the laughter in the cafeteria sounded particularly harsh.
The whole world suddenly dimmed.
Just when Gu Shen didn't know what to do, someone tapped him on the shoulder.
He raised his head and saw Li Donglai looking at him with a smile: "What's the matter? Are you going to give up after such a little setback?"
Gu Shen smiled bitterly: "I really don't understand what Zhang Qingcui is thinking..."
Li Donglai: "Take your time, and if it doesn't work once, try a few more times. As the saying goes, all it takes is hard work and an iron pestle to grind it into a needle. How can it be possible if you are ready to give up before you even start?"
As a friend of Gu Shen and Zhang Qingcui, Li Donglai always thought that the two were a good match.
With Gu Shen standing at the food station and Mr. Gu supporting the facade, he will definitely have a bright future in the future.
If she misses Gu Shen, Zhang Qingcui may really be alone for the rest of her life.
As for Gu Shen, there was nothing wrong with Zhang Qingcui except that she was a bit aloof and her cooking was a bit unpalatable.
He comes from a good family background, has a high level of education, and is independent.
Gu Shen nodded heavily: "Don't worry, I was just a little discouraged just now, I definitely won't give up."
.......
After the dinner, Li Donglai was about to return to the laboratory to work. As soon as he walked out of the cafeteria door, he was stopped by Nan Yi who came up from behind.
"Dr. Li, I want to ask you something. We have so many leftovers from the dinner. What should we do with it?"
Nan Yi was different from Sha Zhu. If something like this happened, Sha Zhu would definitely take the leftovers home without saying anything.
But Nan Yi is a person who doesn't like to take advantage of small things. In the past, he had never brought any leftovers in the machinery factory.
Li Donglai thought for a moment and said: "Since it is leftovers, the researchers in the laboratory will share it."
After saying this, he looked at Liang Ladi who was working inside and said, "Also, you and Liang Ladi will each get a share."
Li Donglai knew that Liang Ladi had many children at home, so Nanyi's leftovers would definitely be given to Liang Ladi.
After he finished speaking, he was about to leave when he was stopped by Nan Yi again.
"Doctor Li, there is something else I want to ask you for help with."
Nan Yi rubbed his hands with an embarrassed look on his face.
