If you cheat, money will follow

On the way to the Medical Research Institute, Chang Le chatted with Lingxi on his mobile phone.

"Lingxi."

"Yes, boss."

"Is the research progress of the Institute of Medicine because of you?"

"Boss, you told me to speed up their research and development progress."

"This speed is too fast."

"Boss, I just helped them make a choice. Each of the 10 options provided by this team can effectively suppress the virus and have a positive effect. I just chose the optimal solution based on model calculations."

"What is the optimal solution?"

“The lowest cost, best effect, and minimal side effects.”

"Oh."

Chang Le came to the Medical Research Institute.

Meet Liu Chaoyang, Wen Yumei, and everyone in the research team.

Even on the first day of the Lunar New Year, they were not idle.

According to their own words, under closed management anyway, there are no other forms of entertainment, so idle time is idle, so it is better to engage in research and development.

Even though it was early in the morning, everyone's faces did not look sleepy at all, but were full of energy.

Chang Le said:

"As a boss, I feel really guilty. I didn't even let you have a break during the Chinese New Year."

"I just walked all the way and found that few buildings had their lights turned off. If outsiders saw it, they would think I was taking advantage of you."

"Haha." Everyone laughed.

"Boss, that's not the case. Don't think they are working overtime crazily. In fact, they are all playing games while using the air conditioner." Liu Chaoyang said with a smile:

"Especially those researchers at the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute. Now they must be using internal language models to write plug-ins and cheat in games."

"Haha...just playing games and cheating?" Chang Le said.

"Last time, Mr. Ma of Goose Factory specifically came to complain to me, saying that all the IP addresses of the institute were cheating, which greatly affected the balance of the game." Liu Chaoyang said.

Chang Le: "You have to tell them about this. You have to control everything and don't go too far."

Liu Chaoyang nodded: "I will warn them."

Wen Yumei introduced to Chang Le:

"Boss, this is Zhang Jingfang, a young backbone researcher at our institute. She graduated with a PhD from Union Medical College and is also the leader of this research and development team."

Zhang Jingfang, about 30 years old, wears a pair of thick glasses.

He smiles shyly and seems introverted and not good at words.

"Hello, Dr. Zhang."

"Hello, boss. Just now, Dean Liu was right. Those guys at the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute know how to bully us who don't understand computers..." Zhang Jingfang started to complain:

"They also use cheats when playing games with us. I have found out several times, but they still refuse to admit it."

Chang Le: "..."

Liu Chaoyang: "..."

Wen Yumei glared at her: "Look, what nonsense are you talking about? I asked you to introduce the situation. Why are you talking about games?"

Zhang Jingfang smiled sheepishly.

Chang Le smiled.

Liu Chaoyang smiled.

Everyone laughed.

Everyone came to the office, and Zhang Jingfang began to introduce the research and development situation to Chang Le.

"Boss, the computing power of the newly launched large language model is so powerful, it has greatly reduced our workload."

"Thanks to it for being able to provide the best solution so quickly this time."

Zhang Jingfang continued: "We have selected ten relatively suitable solutions for the virus and calculated them through language models..."

"As a result, within one day, the language model was calculated through the model, 9 of them were eliminated, 1 was left, and an improvement plan was given."

"We optimized the formula according to the improvement plan and achieved very good results in animal experiments."

Chang Le nodded after listening: "The internal language model has been replaced with new hardware facilities. The Artificial Intelligence Research Institute has also optimized the algorithm, and the computing power has been greatly improved."

“Just being able to do this is a surprise to me.”

"What is the principle behind this treatment drug of yours?"

Zhang Jingfang began to introduce the principles of therapeutic drugs to Chang Le.

"Boss, the structure of the new coronavirus is very simple. It only has a protein shell wrapping the genetic material RNA."

"It has a little crown-like bump on its outer shell, so it's called a coronavirus."

After Zhang Jingfang’s popular science introduction, Chang Le knew how the virus broke out.

The new coronavirus infects and replicates into cells and causes disease.

However, the cell's membrane "receptors" bear the responsibility for protection.

Any foreign substances that are not recognized will be rejected by these "receptors".

However, problems often arise from within, and systems collapse from within.

There is a protein substance called ACE2 in the "receptor", which is angiotensin-converting enzyme 2.

The main function is to participate in the regulation of blood pressure in the human body.

The crown of the new coronavirus is an S protein.

Some of them are very similar to the substances required by ACE2.

Therefore, through this S protein and ACE2, the new coronavirus can enter the cell, integrate into the cell nucleus, and start to infect and replicate new viruses.

"And our drugs are developed based on this principle..." Zhang Jingfang continued to explain:

"After this drug enters the human body, it can automatically recognize the S protein of the new coronavirus and wrap it so that ACE2 cannot recognize it and keep the virus out."

"In addition, during the process of wrapping the S protein, this drug will neutralize its toxicity and completely disintegrate it."

After listening to the introduction, Chang Le asked with concern:

"Side effects? This is very important."

Although the current situation is becoming more and more severe, the country will urgently approve such drugs, but the premise is that the side effects are within an acceptable range.

According to industry parlance, the benefits and risks are known and controllable.

Zhang Jingfang said: "Boss, only one side effect has been found is drowsiness. Other side effects need to be observed during clinical trials."

After Zhang Jingfang finished speaking, Wen Yumei continued:

"Boss, according to research, once the new coronavirus enters the nucleus of a cell and replicates in large numbers, it is very easy to mutate."

"If some time passes and the virus spreads completely and the infection base expands, it is still unclear whether the current drugs will be effective."

"So we must seize the time, enter the clinical stage in advance, and obtain more accurate data through clinical experiments."

Liu Chaoyang also said: "Boss, Academician Wen is right. Many patients have been transferred to the intensive care unit and are in critical condition."

"In the absence of any drug treatment, from the patient's perspective, it is better to give it a try than to suffer in pain and eventually leave."

"If there are any adverse consequences, I will bear the responsibility as the head of the institute."

Wen Yumei said: "Many hospitals have been contacting us recently, hoping that we can provide help."

"They took huge risks. As the general leader of the project, I will sign this word and bear this responsibility."

After Chang Le heard this, he shook his head and said with a smile: "I am the boss, so when will it be your turn to sign and take responsibility? Do you want to usurp power?"

Liu Chaoyang and Wen Yumei looked at each other, then smiled at each other: "Haha..."

Wen Yumei said: "Boss, even if I want to usurp power, the researchers will not agree."

"Ha ha……"

Go home.

Chang Le wanted to call, but considering it was too late, he sent a text message to inform him of the situation.

Prepare to call again the next day to report in detail.

Unexpectedly, just after the text message was sent, within a minute, the phone call came.

There were voices on the other end of the phone, it was probably a meeting.

"Mr. Chang, your text message came very timely."

"Director Ma, are you still awake?"

"Hey, how can we sleep? In the past few days, there have been multiple outbreaks in China due to imported cases. The situation is more serious than before. We are organizing an emergency response meeting."

Chang Le said:

"Director Ma, I don't understand the professional aspect, but Academician Liu Chaoyang and Academician Wen Yumei both hope to submit the drug to the clinical trial stage as soon as possible. They are very confident in the drug."

"Moreover, judging from the preliminary experimental results, the effect is very outstanding."

"Okay, since you said so, Mr. Chang, I will report it immediately and arrange for experts to go and connect." The other party said:

"If the effect is really outstanding, we will handle the matter specially and issue emergency approval."

"Okay, thank you, Director Ma. I will also make arrangements here and wait for the experts to arrive."
