237: Chapter 237: Another Nature publication! Freedom Experience +100,000!

After signing the contract, Zhao Yang took an encrypted hard drive from his bag and pushed it in front of Chen Haifeng.

"I've sent the password to your phone."

Zhao Yang leaned back in his chair and looked at Chen Haifeng as he spoke.

"The hard drive contains all the current preliminary data for this Shin-chan compound. This includes animal toxicology experiment reports and lethal dose test results for mice and rhesus monkeys, as well as some indicators for minor neurological side effects."

Such detailed animal experimental data were, naturally, the result of Shin-chan controlling that unmanned laboratory in the suburbs, running it day and night without pause.

Chen Haifeng reached out and took the hard drive, his eyes filled with excitement. He knew very well that if what Zhao Yang said was true, the contents of this hard drive would be incredibly valuable.

Once this thing was operational and on the market, it would be a money-printing machine!

"Next, you will be responsible for building the company's structure and assembling the clinical application team. Contact me if there's anything you need from my end."

Zhao Yang directly became a hands-off manager. Since it was still the early stages, he would certainly handle things like auditing accounts and hiring later on.

At the moment, there was still a long way to go before the drug hit the market, so there was no need to be overly guarded.

"Understood, Boss. I will set up the framework as quickly as possible."

Chen Haifeng nodded solemnly and tucked the hard drive away securely.

After handing over these tedious business and administrative tasks, Zhao Yang felt much lighter.

He returned to his office at the School of Mathematical Sciences, Peking University, opened his computer, and began focusing on writing an academic paper about this brand-Shin-chan compound.

In the modern pharmaceutical industry, if a Shin-chan drug wants to legally undergo clinical trials and eventually obtain marketing approval, its precise chemical molecular formula, physical and chemical properties, and other data must be disclosed to regulatory agencies.

Moreover, current chemical analysis technology is so advanced that as long as there is a physical sample, the molecular formula can be stripped bare within a few days. Trying to hide the structure is simply unrealistic and meaningless.

What truly forms a technical barrier and prevents others from imitating it is the large-scale industrial mass-production route for this compound!

That is, the specific reaction temperatures, catalyst formulas, and purification processes for intermediates. These are the true core secrets of a pharmaceutical company.

Having thought this through, Zhao Yang's hands tapped rapidly on the keyboard.

He clearly laid out the molecular structure, carbocyclic stereoconfiguration, and pharmacological mechanism of action for this Shin-chan compound, named "XH-01."

However, when it came to the specific synthesis method, Zhao Yang only wrote an inefficient synthesis path that could only be achieved under extreme laboratory conditions as a cover.

As for the industrial synthesis method deduced by Shin-chan, it was naturally impossible for it to be leaked.

A few days later, the paper was successfully completed, and Zhao Yang sent it directly to Chen Haifeng.

After receiving the paper's data, Chen Haifeng immediately demonstrated the prowess of a former top-tier pharmaceutical industry leader.

Using the ample funds provided by Zhao Yang, he directly spent money to hire the top intellectual property legal team in the country to begin patent registration for the "XH-01" compound domestically and globally.

As a talent with a brilliant resume who had served as an executive at a foreign pharmaceutical company in the Greater China region, Chen Haifeng was very familiar with this process.

He not only registered the core structure patent for the compound but also bundled and applied for every conceivable similar derivative structure and crystal form patent. Through the international patent system, he cast a tight net over major global pharmaceutical markets such as the United States, the European Union, and Japan.

Under his swift and resolute operations...

In just a month or two, the patent registrations for this compound in major countries around the world were all finalized.

Everything was ready.

Zhao Yang submitted the paper regarding the discovery of the Shin-chan compound to the world's top scientific journal, Nature.

Relying on solid data and an extremely disruptive pharmacological discovery, the Nature editorial department quickly accepted the paper.

While Zhao Yang was sitting in his office reading, the system's notification sound suddenly rang in his mind.

“Ding! Detected that the User has published a paper in a top international journal as the sole author!”

“Ding! Congratulations to the User for obtaining Chemistry Experience +100,000!”

Hearing the notification for a hundred thousand points of Chemistry experience, Zhao Yang's eyes suddenly lit up.

He immediately pulled up the system panel to take a look.

[Chemistry: LV4 (100,492/200,000)]

Looking at this number, Zhao Yang felt a surge of secret satisfaction.

Only a hundred thousand left until LV5! This could be considered a pleasant surprise!

It was definitely an unexpected surprise. He had originally thought that although it was published in Nature, this compound paper wasn't actually that exceptional; he would have been satisfied with a few tens of thousands of experience points. He didn't expect the system to be so generous as to give him a hundred thousand directly!

A gap of a hundred thousand wasn't huge, but it wasn't small either. However, with just a bit more effort, LV5 was definitely within reach.

Zhao Yang closed the system panel happily, feeling in high spirits.

Not long after.

The paper authored by Zhao Yang was officially published in the main journal of Nature.

The moment the paper appeared in print...

The outside world quickly erupted into an uproar because of his Nature paper.

Under Chen Haifeng's deliberate commercial promotion, this paper, which was originally only circulating in academic circles, quickly went viral on mass media and online platforms.

On major portal websites, university forums, and Online forums, discussions about Zhao Yang and this Shin-chan drug were absolutely overwhelming.

Netizens completely exploded.

"Holy crap! Nature's main journal! God Zhao is way too fierce, isn't he? He just finished publishing in a top math journal, and now he's moved on to Chemistry? And he even created a brand-Shin-chan compound? This crossover is too ridiculous!"

"After reading the big shots' explanations, this compound called XH-01 seems to be a stimulant! It boosts efficiency by fifty percent for two hours and makes it easy to enter Deep Sleep. If this hits the market, holy crap! Won't it sell like crazy?"

"God Zhao is awesome! This is what you call a dimensionality reduction strike! We simply don't understand the world of a god-tier student; in their eyes, there might not even be barriers between disciplines!"

"Everyone, wake up! The discovery, synthesis, and obtaining of such detailed receptor-binding data for a brand-Shin-chan compound requires a massive laboratory team and years of accumulated animal experiments. Zhao Yang is a freshman who has been doing math every day; where did he get the time to do so many Chemistry experiments?"

"The data in this paper is so perfect it feels fake. I seriously suspect data fabrication! Or maybe some behind-the-scenes capital bought a semi-finished product from abroad and put Zhao Yang's name on it to rake in money domestically."

"No one can be an expert in every field. This kind of cross-disciplinary god-making routine will eventually crash! I suggest a strict investigation!"

The internet was in a mess, with both sides citing evidence and shouting at each other, pushing Zhao Yang's popularity higher than that of an A-list celebrity.

Facing these rumors online, Zhao Yang sat in his office at Peking University, not even bothering to respond with a single punctuation mark.

Besides Zhao Yang's own fame, Chen Haifeng's behind-the-scenes operations were also a key factor in this wave of publicity. It had to be said that Chen Haifeng's move of using his opponent's strength against them was played beautifully.

Days passed by.

While the heat of the online discussion had yet to subside, the final results of the National Undergraduate Mathematical Contest in Modeling (CUMCM) were finally announced!

The moment the list came out, Beijing Forestry University completely boiled over.

Under Zhao Yang's hellish special training over the previous few months, the teams sent by Beijing Forestry University had swept the field.

Not only did two teams win national first prizes!

But a core team composed of students from the School of Information and Computing Science and the School of Science directly took home the only highest honor of this year's National Undergraduate Mathematical Contest in Modeling—the 'higher education press cup'!

When the Shin-chans reached the school, Zhou Limin Zhou Limin was so happy he couldn't close his mouth, and he had people put up large red banners at the school gate overnight.

Meanwhile, in his office at Peking University, the long-awaited system notification sounded on time in Zhao Yang's mind.

“Ding! Detected that the system task: [Inheritance of Knowledge] has been completed!”

“The Yanlin University undergraduate team guided by the User successfully won the highest award, the ‘higher education press cup,’ in the national competition.”

“Task Rating: Perfect.”

“Ding! Congratulations to the User for obtaining Free Experience +100,000!”

“Ding! Congratulations to the User for obtaining Random Lucky Draw Chances +3!”
