In previous lives, there were several industries that were quite profitable, such as equipment manufacturing, pharmaceutical production, war beast breeding, news and intelligence, etc.
Among them, pharmaceutical companies are also included.
Of course, compared with pharmaceutical companies in normal times, pharmaceutical factories in the apocalypse can only be called small workshops.
Those various small pills that are rough and smelly are the products of these small workshops.
But when it comes to the market, these small pills are not said to be priceless, but they can also be regarded as semi-luxury products.
How could Ye Zhongming give up such a violent industry?
For this reason, when Ye Zhongming recruits talents, he also pays special attention to the search and protection of Western and Chinese medicine, pharmacists, chemical professionals, etc. Now he has a certain talent reserve. Even his previous cooperation with Mu Xinfei
Among them, there are also requests for talents in this field.
In fact, these people could play a very small role before. Ye Zhongming has been raising them. Now, it is time for them to play their role.
"Although the study of mutant plants has given the laboratory a lot of important data and conclusions, instability is a common problem. Once a plant evolves once, its various data will undergo earth-shaking changes."
Daning squatted next to Ye Zhongming, with a very serious expression on his face.
When it comes to his profession, the previous shyness and nervousness are gone, leaving only a sparkle in his eyes.
"Previously we have been extracting some edible parts from these plants, such as leaves, roots and even fruits, to supplement trace elements and other essential elements for the body."
"The effect is okay, but Sister Hong, myself, and some other people in this field are a little worried."
"Worried?" Ye Zhongming took out a pack of scraped cigarettes and handed it to Daning. He didn't remember whether the researcher smoked or not, but he remembered the number of non-smokers in the laboratory because there were too few.
There is no Daning in my memory. It is obvious that this middle-aged man is a smoker.
"Thank you." Daning quickly wiped his hands on his clothes, and his shyness returned.
Taking a deep breath and feeling the reverberation of the smoke in his body, Daning felt that smoking without fear of getting sick was probably the greatest kindness to mankind in the last days.
"We are both living beings, but we are not of the same species as them."
Ye Zhongming was stunned for a moment and immediately understood what Daning was talking about.
They are all mutant lives, but humans are a type of mutant animals, and these are mutant plants.
"I won't use too technical words, just use animals and plants. We eat the meat of mutated animals because they evolve in a similar way to us, and we can also obtain energy by eating them. But what about these plants? Except
Except for some special ones, we eat them more to gain nutrients rather than to gain the kind of energy we need for evolution."
"As time goes by, no one knows what will happen. Whether the genes of plants will erode the genes of animals and produce some changes that we don't want to see."
"Just like... a tree man?" Ye Zhongming hesitated and asked.
"It's not exactly the same situation, but... yes."
Ye Zhongming was silent for a moment, "We also ate meat and vegetables before we were allowed to eat, but nothing happened."
Daning looked away: "Ye Tou'er, that's different. We did eat those things before, but this planet has proven that they are safe for countless years. But it's different now, everything has changed. These things we used to tear apart
Plants that don't feel pain when their leaves are opened and don't scream when stepped on have characteristics like ours. When they are hurt, they will react violently and even launch a fatal counterattack."
"Then what will happen if we eat them over time? Will their genes be integrated into our bodies, and will their cells with memory invade our own?"
Although Ye Zhongming had never paid attention to this issue in his previous life, he had indeed seen many humans whose bodies had changed, and some of them could no longer even be called humans.
Ye Zhongming couldn't understand the specific reasons one by one. Now that he heard Daning say this, he immediately felt that it might be the case, and his body felt a little creepy.
"Of course, this is just a guess and has not been confirmed. And even if it is true, it has a lot to do with the individual. For example, smoking, some people smoke for a lifetime and nothing happens, and some people smoke for a few years and then get smoked.
I am plagued by illness. Generally speaking, it is a matter of probability."
"Then before we..."
Daning smiled, showing his white teeth, "It's okay, we have always paid attention to these. The mutated plants we eat have been processed and the risk is very small, especially those put into the water and fire stew pot, or
If you have dealt with it as a chef, there will definitely be no problem."
This time, before Ye Zhongming asked, Daning himself said: "Whether you are willing to admit it or not, the things produced by Roulette are the most stable, and they all have extremely strict... How to describe it, procedures? Rules? Anyway, that's it.
this means."
Ye Zhongming nodded, indicating that he understood what Daning meant. At the same time, he felt ironic in his heart. All changes on the earth were caused by the makers of the roulette wheel. These changes made human beings full of various risks when they came into contact with it.
But once it is 'processed' by the roulette wheel, it will become very stable and safe. This is really a world full of confusion for human beings.
Seeing Daning's slightly excited face, Ye Zhongming didn't say anything.
Is everything about roulette really stable? Is it really safe? Nowadays, people have become accustomed to everything about roulette, but have they ever thought that it is a kind of 'gift'? As long as those high-level beings are unhappy,
Will it be taken back?
"If we build a drug research laboratory, and then support it with a pharmaceutical factory to specialize in producing some of the drugs we process, I think we can reduce the risk to a minimum and increase the effect many times. Ye Tou'er, you, that you
What do you think?"
Ye Zhongming's eyes lit up when Daning said this. He didn't expect that this guy would coincide with his own thoughts. Naturally, he agreed with it, but he still asked cautiously.
"Are our conditions met now?"
"There are some difficulties, but they can be overcome. As long as you can find us a large enough and safe experimental field and get some experimental equipment, then with the manpower currently in the villa, we should be able to build the framework."
Seeing Ye Zhongming frowning slightly, Daning thought that the large investment did not impress his leader, so he quickly said: "Also, in fact, as long as we invest a little upfront, we can produce products, and we will not become a
Bottomless pit."
"Output, what output?" Ye Zhongming was surprised. He just started to build a framework and it could be produced. It didn't sound very reliable.
"It's true. We can extract raw materials from mutated plants, even these mutated radish and cabbage, to support trace element supplements. The effect is estimated to be similar to those on the market before the end of the world, maybe even better."
Ye Zhongming stood up with a sigh, lowered his head and stared at Daning and said: "You said that drugs similar to vitamin tablets can be produced now?"
"Yes, yes, what's wrong?"
Daning also quickly stood up and looked at Ye Zhongming anxiously, wondering where he had offended his boss.
"Shouldn't this be the final result?" Ye Zhongming asked with some confusion.
"The final result?" Daning was stunned for a moment, and then he understood. It turned out that the boss thought that building a pharmaceutical factory could only produce vitamin tablets?
"Um, boss, your vision is..." As he said this, he seemed to feel that it was not good to speak of his boss like this, so Daning quickly changed his tune.
"Boss Ye, actually I think it's good to study less. At least you don't have to think about so many complicated things. It's good to be naive."
Ye Zhongming was silent for a while, and the next moment the entire villa heard the angry roar of the usually gentle leader.
"You have little education! Your whole family is naive!"
