Global monopoly of technology

Chapter 413 [P4 Laboratory]

The file is very thick, Luo Sheng continues to browse the follow-up content.

In the first half of this year, Shengfeng Capital’s key investment area was the semiconductor industry. 70% of the 892 billion yuan was invested in the semiconductor industry. The investment amount exceeded 60 billion yuan. The investment scope covers the world. Overseas investment is mainly some As a private scientific research institution, Shengfeng Capital wants to invest in national scientific research laboratories in Europe and the United States, but they do not accept it.

However, if you adhere to the strategy of casting a wide net, there are also fish that slip through the net among the people, and there are also great gods. Maybe you can get a few big fish from it.

In addition to the semiconductor industry, another area of ​​investment is life sciences and healthcare. The amount of investment in the first half of this year was 13.5 billion.

Luo Sheng closed the report and looked at Qin Weimu: "Why don't you see the investment in biosafety experiments in the field of life sciences? This is a very important field. Up to now, our country has not had a P4 in use. The laboratory must end this situation."

The H1N1 American swine flu that broke out in North America last year in 2009 has been raging for nearly a year, and the death toll has reached more than 280,000 people, causing considerable panic for a period of time.

Nowadays, the task of mankind to fight against the raging virus is becoming more and more severe. Research on how to prevent and fight has become a problem of common concern, and providing solutions to the problems of public concern can get rich returns.

Strictly speaking, Luo Sheng is not a biologist. He does not have much in-depth knowledge in the fields of life sciences and virology. In his previous life, he was an authority on artificial intelligence and new materials science and a leader in this field.

However, geniuses are often all through Belden, and Luo Sheng has also made achievements in other fields, but the representative is in the field of AI and new materials.

Just like the British physicist in history and one of the founders of the wave theory of light, Thomas Young, not only a leader in the field of physics, but also a doctor, involved in fields such as mechanics, mathematics, optics, acoustics, linguistics, Zoology, archaeology, etc., is a rare all-round genius in the world.

Luo Sheng was hailed as the Eastern "Thomas Young" by the academic circles in his last life. He also has been involved in other fields. He is also a rare all-round genius in the world. In this life, he can easily transform from a scientist to an entrepreneur and a leader. It is the best interpretation, but his brilliance in the AI ​​field is so dazzling that it conceals his achievements in other fields.

Without the ability to pass Belden, you are not qualified to say that you are a genius among geniuses.

Obviously, Luo Sheng attaches great importance to the investment in the field of life sciences, not only to solve the diseases that the public is worried about, but also to find some means to delay aging and prolong life. This is a "fight against the sky" but Luo Sheng has no hesitation. .

Qin Weimu sighed leisurely: "Difficult, mainly because it is difficult to obtain national approval. The completion of the P4 laboratory is no small matter."

P4 laboratory is also a biosafety level 4 laboratory, which is the top biosafety laboratory, P4 is the highest level, and there is no more.

For example, the Ebola virus discovered in the last century has a biosafety level of 4, AIDS at level 3, and SARS at level 3. The higher the level, the stricter the protection.

According to the infectiousness and harmfulness of infectious diseases, they are divided into four levels. The first level has nothing to do with the health and disease of human adults and is the lowest level; the second level is rarely serious for human diseases, and there is treatment and prevention. Method; The third level can cause serious or fatal diseases in humans, and there may be prevention and treatment methods.

The fourth level can cause serious or fatal diseases in humans and cannot be prevented and treated.

Take Ebola virus, for example, human beings have been helpless to this day. Once they are infected, they are basically helpless. The real Qiqiao bleeds and the internal organs can be coughed out by coughing. The body ulcers and the process of death is even more painful.

It is no exaggeration to say that the T virus in the movie "Resident Evil" is nothing more than the face of the Ebola virus in reality. Anyhow, people infected with T virus are already unconscious living dead, and the most serious infections are People with Bora virus are still conscious, and it is almost impossible to live better than to die; anyway, T virus can be infected with a bite, and the most serious Ebola virus can be infected by touching it.

The so-called P4 laboratory is dedicated to this, the place where it deals with something like the Ebola virus, which makes people feel discolored.

Biosafety is no small matter. The World Health Organization has always attached great importance to the safety of biological laboratories. As early as 1983, it published the "Laboratory Biosafety Manual"

P4 laboratory is undoubtedly a "double-edged sword". Its application can benefit mankind, but if it is not done well, it may become a disaster for mankind.The P4 laboratory is used to store and study the most deadly viruses in the world. For many people, especially the public, they always feel that where a large super virus bomb is placed, there is always a hidden danger of insecurity. .

It has even been suggested that the safest argument is not to build a biosafety laboratory.

This kind of argument does not only exist in the country. There are also public protests against the construction of P4 laboratories in the United States, which has 15 P4 laboratories.

It is not sensible to say that it is the safest not to build. The big difference between humans and animals is that they will prevent them. If the P4 laboratory is not built, one day when a deadly virus spreads, humans are dead or alive. It can only be resigned.

As the only group of intelligent creatures on earth, it is obviously impossible for human beings to leave their fate to the sky to decide. Even if they perish, it is better to destroy themselves than to be destroyed by the sky.

Humans are such creatures and would rather die in their own hands.

So far, although domestic regulations and regulations have been formulated in terms of biosafety, the regulations have only gone to P3 laboratories, not P4 laboratories.

Luo Sheng pondered for a moment and said to the air: "Xiao Na, do some calculations. What is the theoretical budget for building a P4 laboratory in a resource-convenient area and building a P4 laboratory in a no-man's land?"

"Roger that!"

Xiaona responded and fell silent, Qin Weimu glanced around as if looking for Xiaona, while Luo Sheng waited patiently.

It is generally best to save costs and expenses in urban areas with convenient transportation, but not in first-tier cities. Land prices alone cannot stand. Even if the country grants free land, consumption is not cheap.

The technical requirements of the P4 laboratory are very high, and the cost is also based on a budget of 100 million yuan. There are currently more than 50 P4 laboratories in the world, including those under construction. These dozens of top biosafety laboratories are all over the world. Five continents.

It stands to reason that China currently has the largest population in the world, and its GDP and R&D rank second in the world. The construction of advanced scientific research laboratories should not lag behind the talents.

But in fact, the two domestic P4 laboratories that have been built are in Wanwan, and the only P4 laboratory on the mainland is still under construction in Jiangcheng. After so many years, the progress is extremely slow, and I don't know when it will be put into use.

"Master, the theoretical calculation results have come out." Xiaona's voice sounded again, and it did not make people wait for too long.

Luo Sheng immediately asked: "How much?"

Xiaona: "The theoretical budget for building a P4 laboratory in urban areas is about 350 million yuan, while the theoretical budget for no man's land is at least 1.8 billion yuan."

Qin Weimu couldn't help but said: "Just building a laboratory can cost hundreds of millions, or even more than one billion. I am afraid that the operating cost will not be lower than the construction cost, which is too expensive."

Shengfeng Capital is indeed super rich, but it does not focus solely on one field. It is really a huge burn of money when subdivided. This is the normal state of engaging in high-tech. If you don't have enough money to come to Krypton, you can't play it.

Luo Sheng's head tilted and his eyes turned to Qin Weimu with a grin: "Aren't you a top trader? You made a profit after a few rounds in the international foreign exchange market. Two years later, Greece went bankrupt, the European debt crisis broke out, and the United Kingdom broke out These black swan incidents in Europe can make our family fund a lot of money. You can build the most powerful short fund in history."

Hearing this, Qin Weimu shook his eyes a lot, but after a while, she looked at Luo Sheng curiously: "Are you so sure that Europe will have a sovereign debt crisis?"

Luo Sheng opened his eyes and said nonsense: "I didn't believe it before, but I have recently analyzed the situation in Europe. No matter how you look at it, it is a bad rhythm. I am now more and more convinced of your original predictions. You must not let this go. Opportunity, otherwise God won’t forgive us, there will be more places to spend money in the future."

Qin Weimu smiled, staring at the other person and said: "You have today's achievements, how much should I contribute?"

Luo Sheng pursed his lips, and said in a serious manner: "Emmm... 15%, it should be about 5% if it is too much, it can't be more."

Qin Weimu tiger face: "Believe it or not, you will check the accounts any day, with a horizontal bar in front of the asset list data above. This palace makes you the world's first negative and debt negative."

Luo Sheng replied with a grin: "It's actually nothing to bring a horizontal bar. I happen to have a vertical bar here, and the combination is a'+' sign, which is perfect!"

Qin Weimu: "..."
