The inside of the human body is an internal environment that is constantly circulating, and the external world that is located is a complex external environment. People need to do many things in their daily lives, and food, clothing, housing and transportation are the basis for maintaining the internal environment, and none of them are missing.

Therefore, as long as people are still alive, the internal environment will inevitably exchange materials with the external environment. Especially the respiratory tract, they are intimately in contact with those little things almost at any time.

Every contact is an annihilation battle that must be won.

But once the immune army has a problem or the enemy troops are too strong, it will turn the one-sided victory into a long war of attrition. If the war of attrition cannot be won, the army will begin to show fatigue and even begin to retreat step by step, then some external forces will be needed to intervene.

Originally, birth, old age, sickness and death were the private affairs of each human individual. Later, due to the division of work, people who specialize in treating patients appeared in the ethnic group, which was called "medical". (1)

Medicine comes from war, and when it comes to peace, they become an important task to ensure the continued survival of mankind.

Malaria, smallpox, plague, cholera, tuberculosis, typhoid fever, influenza... These are all infectious diseases that are enough to change the course of history. The spread range is wide and the number of infections is tens of millions.

Malaria relies on effective mosquito killing and special drugs developed; smallpox has been eliminated by vaccines; tuberculosis also has BCG vaccine; plague is subdued by antibiotics; typhoid fever, cholera can cut off the source of infection by just controlling the water source and cleaning it... With the development of medicine, these originally crazy and raging infectious diseases have gradually moved away from our daily lives, and even looking at the name adds a sense of strangeness.

But this strangeness is a difficult problem that has been overcome by generations of infectious disease scientists for hundreds of years. (2, 3)

In 2000, microorganisms that deal with humans also began to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. With the emergence of influenza, viruses that mainly attack the respiratory tract began to step onto the stage of history.

"Since the first time h5n1 was discovered in 1997, there have been more than 250 cases in 10 countries around the world. Although they are all sporadic cases, we cannot take it lightly with Sars." Huang Xinghua stood in front of the stage, and his laser pen in his hand swept the list on the curtain behind him, "This is the infection of h5n1 in the past three years."

Most of this regular meeting has passed.

Although h5n1 has a dangerous course of illness and a high mortality rate, it is still a bit worse than the previous two things, and was placed at the end by Huang Xinghua.

Of course, being able to discuss it in the meeting has already demonstrated its importance. This time we have to talk about the new cases that just appeared in June. The patient had no history of dead birds and was very serious. It took a month to rescue the person.

They are the research institute and have no requirements for clinical diagnosis and treatment. What is important is the infection chain of this case. According to Huang Xinghua's time allocation, the meeting will take about half an hour to end, but some people thousands of miles away seem to be unable to sit still, and the phone has never stopped ten minutes ago.

Feeling the vibration from the tabletop with his palms, Huang Xinghua picked up the water cup and poured two mouthfuls of tea into his mouth: This kid is not over...

If others knew his temper, as long as he didn't answer the phone, he would be busy with something. If he tried twice, he would not call him again and harass him again. Even if he was a leader, if he really had an urgent matter, he would change to someone else to come to him. It would be impossible to keep staring at his phone and calling.

But this guy...

Huang Xinghua looked at the caller ID on the screen and couldn't blame him too much, after all, the other party only knew his mobile phone number.

"Old Huang, come here."

"Me?" A middle-aged man in the audience was suddenly named and his mind was a little bit unrealized. "What did you ask me to say?"

"Tell me how to deal with h5n1. If you don't have it, let's talk about your work experience in Tennessee. E. coli and syphilis can be said at the beginning, but they are all advanced experiences in the United States." Huang Xinghua picked up his mobile phone, gave up his seat on the podium, turned his head and walked towards the door, "I'll answer the phone first, and come back later."

Huang Jianshi was a little embarrassed. Although he has been engaged in public health in the United States and Canada after graduating from his Ph.D., he has accumulated considerable experience in more than ten years of work.

But he had basically never been exposed to h5n1. This is a respiratory virus that mutates zoonotic diseases. It was originally a research object in animal husbandry, but this time it is more for learning.

Huang Xinghua couldn't care so much. He applied oil to the soles of his feet and walked out of the conference room door in less than two steps.

Huang Jianshi had no choice but to stand on the podium: "Because there is no human-to-human transmission or evidence, after the Guangnan case ruled out the history of contact with dead birds, the traceability direction should be placed in the farmers' market he often goes to..."

......

"Hey, are you finished!!!"

Huang Xinghua answered the phone and was angry and didn't call each other. He couldn't help but burst out: "I made more than a dozen calls, and I will be disturbed by you at my regular meeting once a week."

"So Director Huang is having a meeting." Qi Jing smiled, "Sorry."

"Hurry up and talk about it, and I'm still waiting for me to go back."

"It's the last research institute project." Qi Jing reiterated the old story, "I think you should consider it again."

Huang Xinghua frowned, wondering why this kid was still thinking about this: "It's been several months, why haven't you given up yet? Didn't I reply to you all? The scientific research team naturally wants to go to Beijing Research Institute as the core. Even if they really want to develop vaccines, they have to come to Beijing."

What's more, they don't have the ability at all now.

The last half of the sentence was not spoken, but I kept muttering it in Huang Xinghua's mind during this period.

Vaccines require money, talent, and time. Even if a company had already established projects for the HPV vaccine a few years ago, the research prospects are still unclear. Based on his rough calculations, it is probably possible to complete the third phase of clinical experiments in another ten years.

By that time, foreign HPV vaccines had been given several rounds.

"I think Danyang is very good. Both medical schools are willing to cooperate." Qi Jing continued, "I have considered you going to Beijing. It's really because the two medical schools look down on me and drove me away without saying a few words."

"Nonsense, you have no money, no one, you have no money, no one, who will cooperate with you?"

Huang Xinghua had long seen through Qi Jing's trick of painting cakes: "I'm surprised, are you no factories in Danyang? Both medical schools cooperate with you?"

"These are actually small problems. Isn't it easy to ask for money?" Qi Jing smiled, looked at Yang Zesheng who was stunned beside him, and continued, "I actually think Danyang is suitable for research. The land is much cheaper than Shangjing. There is no smog and the air is better."

Huang Xinghua had a lot of work to do and had no time to talk to him.

But he also knew that the person on the other end of the phone was not someone who was asking for trouble. Since he had been reunited after so many days, he should have made new progress: "Can you guys tell me thoroughly? I really don't have time."

Qi Jing cleared his throat: "I heard that Professor Zhou Yuren's students have seen you?"

"...You are quite well-informed." Huang Xinghua said, "I've seen it, so what?"

"With him, you still have to worry about not getting the funds?"

Huang Xinghua laughed twice: "I just met him, and he just came to see him. Others look down on my broken research institute at all, so they have already flew to work in the American Pharmaceutical Factory. Alas, with him and such a good team, I'm afraid the quadrivalent HPV vaccine is not far from being launched."

The words were very free and easy, and they were done in one go, but they were a little lonely when they heard others, and they felt like they were still unable to turn things around.

"Leave?" Qi Jing looked at Yang Zesheng who was still stunned by the side, and smiled even more happily, "According to Director Huang's intention, as long as he is there, there will be no problem in domestic vaccine development."

"It's not OK, but it can be at least three to four years in advance." Huang Xinghua said, "It's not that I brag. Zhou Yuren was the Queensland where he went to Beijing virus. I know the best of his abilities. Yang Zesheng has been studying and working in Queensland for six years and is the main force in the development of bivalent HPV vaccines. This time he went to the United States to get nine-valent. If he could come back..."

Speaking of this, Huang Xinghua narrowed his eyes slightly and noticed a strange thing: "Do you kid want to go to the United States to get people back?"

"Ah? Well...yes, right! I had this idea before." Qi Jing replied.

"Just kidding, his annual salary in the first year of his US pharmaceutical factory was $500,000, so how could he come back?"

"If you have money, I can think of another way."

"It's not only money, but also the equipment of the institute and the team!" Huang Xinghua had to admit this, "The domestic conditions are really not as different as those on the other side of the ocean. Even if we concentrate manpower and material resources now, it will take seven or eight years to bear fruit."

"If that doesn't work, I'll think of something else." Qi Jing wanted to know what happened after Yang Zesheng, "The key is that you have to give me a clear letter. If the person comes back, will everything be easy to discuss?"

Huang Xinghua was a little hesitant, but when he thought of the domestic vaccine, he still made up his mind: "Okay, no problem! Research was originally going to be around this guy. As long as he was determined to stay in Danyang, the research center and team would naturally have to follow him."

The transportation costs and venues of materials and instruments are simply incomparable to a top molecular biology talent.

"Then this matter is finalized." Qi Jing said with a smile, "Tomorrow... no, I think you can gather people in the afternoon. If you count the time, you will be able to arrive in Danyang tomorrow. Then I will ask Lao Ji to pick you up. Ji Qing, you have seen it twice..."

"Wait! Wait for me!!!"

Huang Xinghua interrupted him: "Where is a human? Human is the premise! Do you want to rob people back?"

"What did Director Huang say? I have always been a law-abiding person."

"That person..."

"Yang Zesheng is standing next to me." Qi Jing said with a smile, "I just discussed it with him. He is willing to come back and wants to stay in Danyang."

“…”

After hearing the news, Huang Xinghua was so excited that he thought he was dreaming: "What did you say?"

"The person will be back in two days."

"How did you get it back?"

"This doesn't matter. What matters is that people are back. Do you just said count?"

Huang Xinghua said it all, but hesitated at this time. All the newly integrated research centers went to Danyang, and he couldn't help but feel a little reluctant. It was impossible for the Institute of Virology and he could not quit his job here, which means that the future research on HPV vaccines has nothing to do with him.

It is certainly true that it is said to be for the country, but he is also indispensable for the selfishness he should have.

"I'm really willing to come back?"

"Of course." Qi Jing was very sure.

"Have the contract been signed?"

“Not yet.”

"Is the pharmaceutical factory broken?"

“No, either.”

"This...what is going to come back? Don't mess with me."

"People will definitely come back, and they will definitely be in Danyang." Qi Jing said, "The next one is your team, and the two medical schools will provide some manpower and research equipment."

"Even this is not enough." Huang Xinghua grabbed his weakness and wanted to take back what he said, "Danyang resources are not as good as going to Beijing. If you are going to Beijing, you don't need to worry about manpower at all. And with my relationship, several laboratories in the two medical schools can also be used."

"Director Huang, you won't have to worry about the hardware. As long as your people can come to Danyang."

"This..." Huang Xinghua wanted to hold on for a while, "Then wait for me to report to the higher authorities."

"Yes, yes, you really need to report it." Qi Jing said, "It's better to tell the Ministry of Science and Technology. I'm still waiting for the funds given by the 863 plan. At the beginning, I heard you say that the country attaches great importance to hpv vaccines, so I'm waiting for independent research and development. There should be a lot of money."

Huang Xinghua's delayed military plan became a tool for Qi Jing to ask for money, and was unscrupulous to the point of holding the emperor to command the princes.

But if you really think this way, Yang Zesheng does have the ability to be the "son of the emperor" in developing HPV vaccines.

But he still has no real feeling about keeping this genius: "If a person really comes back, the funding should not be a problem, but can you guarantee that he will definitely return to China? Because there are so many people who choose to give up when they finally hit the ball. So before reporting to the upper hand, I must ask clearly."

"That's it..."

At Wen'an Airport, before taking off, Qi Jing was only 30% or 40%.
