17: Section 17

"How is it? Do you feel any discomfort?"

An hour had passed since Associate Professor He took the medication.

During this time, countless physical monitoring devices were used on him without reservation to comprehensively monitor every aspect of changes in his body.

However, all the data indicated that Associate Professor He's body had not produced any adverse reactions.

The X-ray results had even come out. When the two scans taken before and after the medication were placed side by side for comparison, everyone was surprised to find that the bronchial area that triggered the asthma attacks had actually undergone significant changes!

It had only been an hour, and the efficacy of the medication was countless times more powerful than any of them had imagined!

Associate Professor He also felt that his body had never felt better. He immediately took the initiative and suggested:

"I really don't feel any adverse reactions. Dean Zhao, I think we can proceed with the final step!"

This so-called final step was, naturally, the irritation test targeting allergens. Since this was to test the curative effect of the medication, the patient had to face the stimulation of allergens after the drug took effect. Only in this way could they intuitively feel the degree of immunity to allergens after taking the medication.

"Old He, are you sure you can handle it?"

"Dean Zhao, rest assured. Don't forget that I was the one who personally recorded the results of the experiments on the mice. I have even more confidence than you do!"

Old He patted his chest and laughed. Seeing this, the others did not try to dissuade him. For these researchers, this kind of thing was not a risk at all; on the contrary, it could be called an honor.

After all, this was witnessing the birth process of what could truly be called a miracle drug! There were even many who wished they had asthma so they could personally participate in the drug trial and experience its efficacy firsthand.

This time, Associate Professor He was pushed into an isolation room. The others observed from outside through a pane of glass.

Next, this isolation room would artificially create and simulate a harsh air environment, filling it with allergens like pollen and dust mites sufficient to trigger asthma.

Of course, to avoid accidents, plenty of commonly used asthma relief medications were also prepared. The trial began under the order of Academician Zhao. The others stared nervously at the inside, separated by a wall, constantly monitoring the reactions of the person inside.

One minute. Two minutes. Five minutes...

Associate Professor He, who had been completely still inside, suddenly pressed the communication button.

The others, thinking that he was experiencing discomfort, all became nervous.

As it turned out, Associate Professor He's puzzled voice came through the communication broadcast: "Dean Zhao, I'm ready. Why hasn't the trial started yet after so long?"

"..."

"..."

Hearing this, everyone was speechless and looked at each other.

Good grief!

It had already been five minutes, and the person inside felt absolutely nothing, even thinking the experiment hadn't started yet?

Academician Zhao couldn't help but ask: "Old He, how do you feel now? Do you feel any discomfort?"

Associate Professor He was even more speechless: "Dean Zhao, you haven't even started yet, so what could I possibly feel? Don't waste time, let's get started."

*Hiss*—seeing this, the others were even more shocked.

He had only taken one pill, and it had only been effective for an hour. The efficacy was actually this strong?

It allowed a moderate, or even near-severe, asthma patient to ignore so many allergen triggers?

"Increase the intensity, continue observing!"

The current simulated air environment was only at a level that would cause an attack in a severe asthma patient; moderate and mild patients could still tolerate it. So, seeing this, Academician Zhao felt relieved and gave the order. He had the irritant factors in the air increased to a level that would also affect moderate and mild patients.

However, as time passed, Associate Professor He inside remained just like a normal person.

It was only after the pollen concentration was suddenly increased that Associate Professor He raised his hand to cover his nose. Everyone thought they were finally going to see the limit of the drug's efficacy. As it turned out, Associate Professor He just sneezed, but there was still no sign of an asthma attack.

It wasn't until the level of air pollution reached a point where even normal people felt somewhat uncomfortable that Associate Professor He showed signs of asthma.

But this time, the consequences of the attack were very mild; he picked up the inhaled agonist placed to the side, took a shallow breath, and the symptoms immediately disappeared.

Seeing this, the people outside finally let go of the heavy burden in their hearts!

"The trial results are a huge success!"

"It can be confirmed that this medication works on the human body and can exert unprecedented therapeutic effects!"

"Even judging by the current trial results, one pill might not be enough for a complete cure for moderate to severe patients, but the effect brought by just one pill can already provide obvious therapeutic benefits."

"I have no doubt now that if a mild patient takes it, just one pill is completely enough to say goodbye to asthma!"

"Even for the most severe asthma patients, at most only three pills are needed to completely eradicate it!"

Even Academician Zhao, who had always maintained a cautious attitude before, could not suppress his excitement now and patted his chest to guarantee the efficacy of this drug.

The existence of this medication was enough to significantly elevate China's status in the world medical community!

Even if foreign countries had published papers mentioning the theoretical possibility of completely treating asthma patients, that was only theoretical, and the conjecture they proposed was even baseless! And they had now truly successfully cured an asthma patient!

PS: Brothers, as everyone knows, during the free period of a new book, data is very important, even the key to whether a book can continue to be written! The data for this book hasn't moved much, and I'm really panicking inside! Here, I humbly ask you all to lend a hand. If you could give me a flower, an evaluation ticket, or even a donation of support, I would be eternally grateful!!

Chapter 21: Is the technology too advanced to be fully replicated?

"Good! Good! Good!" Looking at the experimental report presented to him, Chief Yun couldn't help but praise three times in a row.

Even having witnessed the ups and downs of China over the decades, and having truly faced a hail of bullets, he still couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart when he saw this report.

Rather, it was precisely because Chief Yun had witnessed China's past low points and the situation where falling behind meant being beaten, that he held great expectations and attached great importance to any possibility that could make China rise.

What's more, in Lin Bai's current situation, just the act of unpacking a package could make changes significant enough to influence major world processes!

Lin Bai's status in Chief Yun's heart had risen significantly once again, reaching the level where one person could be worth an army of millions!

However, at this time, Academician Zhao also raised the biggest problem with this drug.

"Chief, the efficacy has been confirmed, but the most serious problem now is..."

"With our current technology, we simply cannot achieve complete replication and mass production!"

Hearing this, the other academicians couldn't help but frown. In this way, didn't it mean that even if they got this miracle drug, it would end up being a rare item that became one less every time it was used?

"Is the technology of this pill so advanced?"

"Haven't the ingredients all been analyzed? Why can't it be done?"

"For such a drug that benefits the country and the people, as long as you at the Medical Science Academy need help, we other research institutes can all help!"

Academician Zhao couldn't help but smile bitterly: "That's not the problem. It's mainly because many of the ingredients in this medicine are actually unprecedented to us. We can only verify the efficacy through indirect methods, but in essence, these ingredients remain an unknown existence to us."

"Sigh, is the technology too advanced, and therefore detrimental to the present?"

"Then what should we do? Are we just going to have to rely on Lin Bai buying the medicine to conjure it up every time?"

"The efficiency of this method is too low, isn't it?"

Listening to everyone's heated discussion, Chief Yun tapped the table lightly and said in a deep voice:

"If it doesn't exist, then go create it!"

"From ancient times to the present, China has never stopped its progress because of difficulties!"

"We cannot selfishly place the hope of the entire Chinese medical community on one person!"

"Lin Bai's ability has given us the opportunity to progress and provided us with a direction for research. Can we not come up with our own answer when we have this definitely existing answer in front of us?"

After this verification, Chief Yun had been completely won over by Lin Bai's abilities.
