"Xiyan, you are not wrong. This letter from Jinyun sent to you from the United States arrived at the post office ten days ago. They forgot it and didn't send it to you." Meng Fanxing complained to Lu Xiyan in anger as soon as he got home.

"Is that true?" Lu Xiyan was also surprised. It seemed unlikely that the post office would dare to forget the email sent to him.

Could it be...

Lu Xiyan suppressed his thoughts and asked, "What did Jin Yun say in his letter?"

"The letter was written to you, but I didn't read it, I'll give it to you." Meng Fanxing said that only by mutual respect can the couple go long.

She is not the kind of jealous woman. Even if Wu Jinyun and her husband may have such a special feeling, that is also a matter between them.

She believed Lu Xiyan and would not do anything that would be sorry for her.

Lu Xiyan took the letter from Meng Fanxing and did not open it immediately. Instead, he went upstairs and entered the study.

Sit down and turn on the lamp on the table.

Put it under the desk lamp and carefully check the opening on the envelope, especially the opening and tail. The agents have been trained to open the sealed envelope, take out the letters inside, put them back after reading them, and then seal them with glue.

If you have good skills, even many veterans can't check it out and the envelope has been passive.

But if someone is instructed by experience, as long as the envelope is passive, it will be obvious that Lu Xiyan's skills are not good, but he also suspects that someone will touch his letter.

"What are you looking at?" Meng Fanxing then came up, passed by the entrance of the study room, and saw Lu Xiyan holding the envelope and looking left and right under the lamp, and couldn't help but come in and ask in curiously.

"Meimei, come and help me see if anyone has tampered with this envelope?" Lu Xiyan waved at Meng Fanxing.

"Have you touched it?" Meng Fanxing put down the clothes in his hand, walked over, took the envelope from Lu Xiyan's hand, put it under the lamp and looked carefully.

At first, she felt that Lu Xiyan was fussing, but the more she looked, the deeper she frowned. She had been engaged in this area of ​​training.

"Xiyan, I'm afraid there is something wrong with this letter." Meng Fanxing said, "Do you have an alcohol lamp at home?"

"Yes, I'll find it for you." Lu Xiyan stood up and said.

Lu Xiyan took the alcohol lamp, Meng Fanxing poured the envelope over and slowly approached the blue flame of the alcohol lamp.

As the back and forth baking, the paper edges that were originally stained began to roll up.

"Xiyan, look, this is to melt the glue inside with hot steam, then uncover the seal, take away the letter inside, and then seal it with glue. Because the application is uneven and the original glue remains, it will be exposed after baking with fire. Jinyun's letter was taken to check it secretly." Meng Fanxing pointed to the curled seal and explained.

"Are you sure this letter has been read?" Lu Xiyan asked in surprise.

"Confirm, judging from my past work experience, this letter has definitely been tampered with before this." Meng Fanxing said with great certainty.

"Who is so interested in my letter?" Lu Xiyan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"There must be someone at the post office colluding with inside and outside to take out your letter." Meng Fanxing said, "If you want to check it, it shouldn't be difficult."

"Well, I want to see who is so interested in me. Even the letter my student wrote to me has to be secretly taken back and opened, so I will take a sneak peek." Lu Xiyan hummed.

"Let's see what Jin Yun wrote in the letter first." Meng Fanxing reminded.

"good."

Lu Xiyan nodded, opened the envelope, and took out the letter paper inside.

It actually wrote in English. What's wrong with this girl? I used to write letters in Chinese. Why did I switch to English this time? Is this intentional showing off to the teacher?

Based on his understanding of Wu Jinyun, this girl was not like this. With a slight confusion, Lu Xiyan began to read the contents of the letter.

This time the letter was two pages more than the last time, with more English letters, which cost more paper than the Chinese concise words.

There are many professional terms and some quite obscure words that people who have not studied biochemistry will definitely not understand.

Lu Xiyan's English level is still very high because he needs to do research. Many important international journals are in English, and they don't know how to speak English and can't understand the information.

In the past, Wu Jinyun's letters only involved his own life and academic situation, and generally did not involve some research topics.

However, this time, she actually mentioned a super antibiotic research in her mind, and it has entered the clinical trial stage and achieved extremely considerable results.

This antibiotic is suitable for almost a variety of conditions, especially the treatment of inflammation, which can be said to have never seen before.

The reason why Wu Jinyun wanted to share this antibiotic research with her teacher was that she wanted to engage in research on this topic in the future. Moreover, she has recently signed up to join the research team and obtained approval.

Is there such a magical antibiotic?

Lu Xiyan was also surprised. If there was, it would be a blessing for the health of all mankind. In the future, many diseases caused by inflammation can be cured.

This antibiotic is called "penicillin". It has actually been discovered long ago and its magical therapeutic effect has also been confirmed, but it cannot achieve mass production. In addition, during clinical trials, it was found that there are quite certain risks.

Therefore, under many uncertainties, although this drug has received key attention from the medical and biology circles, the research progress has not been smooth.

If "penicillin" was really a revolution in the medical world as Wu Jinyun said in his letter.

Then no country needs this thing more than China.

At this moment, Lu Xiyan suddenly had a crazy idea in his mind, bringing "penicillin" from the United States back to China.

Once this idea took root in his mind, it grew wildly like wild grass.

"Who can bring the bacteria back?"

Wu Jinyun has to study in the United States for at least two years. When she comes back, she can't wait. It's better to send someone to retrieve some bacterial seeds and come back to study them by herself. In Shanghai, he has ready-made research institutes and researchers.

Even if they are slower than the United States, as long as they keep in touch with Wu Jinyun and keep abreast of research progress in the United States at any time, they can take many detours here.

Do it when you think about it.

Lu Xiyan decided to take action before reporting this matter, and even if he was punished later, he would admit it, but time didn't wait for anyone.

"Meimei, I have something to do and go out. You go to bed first, don't wait for me." Lu Xiyan picked up a coat and stood up and ordered.

"Where are you going?" Meng Fanxing asked worriedly. This was not because he wanted to know Lu Xiyan's whereabouts, but because of a wife's instinctive concern for her husband.

Therefore, Lu Xiyan trusted and admired Huo Xiaoyu's independent and self-respecting personality very much, and always trusted her unconditionally.

This is similar to the friendship between him and Laura.

After finding out Lu Xiyan's purpose, Huo Xiaoyu immediately calmed down and returned to the state of a calm and wise scientific worker.

"Lu Bo, if we can obtain bacterial strains and carry out research and cultivation ourselves, I cannot guarantee that we can produce results in a short time, but it is OK to produce penicillin that is sufficient for clinical trials. However, if we need to produce and manufacture them on a large scale, we must also work hard to research on bacterial strain culture and technology. If we can have the experience of the failure of our predecessors as a reference, it would be even better." Huo Xiaoyu said it very obscurely. The so-called failure experience of our predecessors is actually to take back the results of the failed research and use it yourself, which can save a lot of unnecessary time and money.

This is an act of "stealing" other people's achievements.

If others don’t mind, it’s okay, but if others don’t agree to give it to you and you get it privately, it’s an immoral behavior.

This is something that scientists value very much. If scientists have no character or virtue, they are very despised.

Of course, Lu Xiyan understood that he also seemed to obtain it through formal channels, but if the formal channels could not be achieved, he would have to bear the infamous himself.

This matter must be done, and it must be done soon. The purpose of his visit to Huo Xiaoyu was to verify the credibility of this "penicillin" project. After all, he is not a professional biomedical research.

Huo Xiaoyu said that he could do it, so he would do it, and he would do it at all costs.

"General Engineer Huo, are you sure you can do it. If we invest in research, what equipment and talents are needed?" Lu Xiyan said.

"I can't explain this clearly for a while, but at least we need to have existing bacterial species, and then we need to build an independent laboratory, and it must be kept confidential." Huo Xiaoyu said.

"The laboratory can be built in the Pasteur Institute we acquired. You hand over the work on quinine research to Ke Mo and concentrate on putting the work on this. At least now, this 'penicillin' is the closest we need. If it can be researched and manufactured, it will save us at least a lot of time and money." Lu Xiyan said. Although he is a very rich person in Shanghai, compared to his investment in scientific research, his wealth is really not enough.

"Okay, then our previous research investment will not be completely in vain. At least it has laid a foundation." Huo Xiaoyu nodded.

Lu Xiyan is really willing to invest in researching new drugs, not only to make money, but also to cure diseases and save lives.

This is also the reason why Huo Xiaoyu admires him more and more.

"Pick the most elite and reliable person to join your research team and let Laura give you the highest authority, just say it was what I said." Lu Xiyan said, "She is also an expert in biochemistry and has a more international perspective than you. However, I will only hand over this project to you. It is not that I don't trust her, but that this project needs to be absolutely confidential and must be completed by the Chinese."

"I understand." Huo Xiaoyu was a little excited.

"I will use all my relationships to help you find the information. You don't have to worry about the research equipment and costs. I will solve this problem." Lu Xiyan said, "I will help you with anyone you need, and I will tie it up for you."

"yes."

"Keep this letter with you first, study it carefully." Lu Xiyan said solemnly.

ps: Research on penicillin is still at the University of Oxford, England. The researchers are pathologist Flory and biochemist Qian En. After the war with Germany and Britain, the research was transferred to the United States. The book may be a little earlier. The penicillin species was found by Mr. Fan Qingsheng in history. It is known as the father of Chinese penicillin. The book is studying at the University of Wisconsin in the United States. After a lifetime of death, I returned to China through the "Camel Route". This book is a fictional story. Please do not regard it as real history. Thank you!
