Great Power

"My old lady's body can't come, so she underwent surgery."

Zheng Jianguo blinked. If the operation doesn’t work, my wife would have no problem with the transit plane, but now she’s still recovering. I don’t know how it will be. If I go to the United States for more than 30 hours, that’s not the case. Come to relax and go around, but to find something.

Of course, this is because the white swan did not deliver, otherwise it would be fine to come and see.

"Today's oil contract was adjusted for a day and closed at 30 US dollars and 43 cents, an increase of 11 cents compared to yesterday—"

The content that appeared on TV instantly drew Zheng Jianguo’s attention back. Since he bought the oil contract with a ten-fold leverage with his entire net worth, his attention now is particularly sensitive to the word oil, because every beauty The decline and rise of cents are losses and incomes of tens of millions to him: "Break through 39 cents, this is a profit of more than 300 million--"

According to the calculation method given by Charlie, Zheng Jianguo’s price when he opened his position was 27 US dollars and 39 cents per barrel. Now it seems that it has risen by 3 US dollars. Based on the 110 million barrels of oil contracts he holds, this is 3.3. The income of 100 million U.S. dollars, plus more than 310 million U.S. dollars in principal, I am afraid that there is nothing to describe this feeling: "The money at the airport has been lost, but the letter that asked Xu Mi to take it back has no news. "

"——Your fourth sister has arranged to enter the Chinese University, with Kou Yang Luolan and others, I will take the flight tomorrow morning to Britain to meet with Sister Fan, and she will also go to Boston, saying that she will be attending your graduation. Ceremony, take care of her house by the way."

With the disappearance of the oil contract reports on TV, Zheng Jianguo’s attention returned to the answering machine. Yang Na’s previous words should have said that she left after her cousin arrived, but she was watching the oil contract. I thought of Van Dailin’s house on Beacon Hill Street, and of course I also thought of Rebecca Chen—this sister even gave her own report!

When he arrived at the phone, he looked at the number of messages on the answering machine and found that there were 3 more. Zheng Jianguo also tore one from the post-it note next to him, took a pen and made a note: "Yang Na, antique auction."

In view of the excessive number of distractions by messages, Zheng Jianguo was afraid of forgetting and put out a post-it note and a pen beside him. At this time, as Yang Na's voice disappeared, Ye Minde's old voice came: "Jianguo, The conditions here in Inner Mongolia are not good, and I have to call from the city for a long distance. I will make a long story short. The list of personnel of the Republican Gastroenterology Association has been released.

However, it has to be reviewed and approved. Of course, our school is the mainstay in general. It’s just that the names of Shen Yunhui and Yang Junguo have been added to the Capital Medical College. Don’t worry about them. Everything else is going well. I Just hang up."

"Everything went well, did you find thermophilic bacteria?"

After subconsciously chanting, Zheng Jianguo suddenly remembered what he had forgotten, and continued to write on the convenience sign: "Finding thermophilic bacteria papers!"

In the domestic situation, Zheng Jianguo originally planned to let them study it by themselves. After all, it was agreed in the previous agreement. However, considering that if there are ready-made articles here, there is no waste of manpower and material resources, and they can be used directly. Unexpectedly, I really forgot about it.

As Ye Minde’s voice disappeared, Harris’ loud voice came from the answering machine: “Hey, Zheng, the house has been in for a while, how does it feel during this time? Is there anything that needs maintenance? Alec asked me to do it. A return survey, remember to tell us if you have any questions, goodbye—"

"The problem is still something—"

After thinking about the feelings during this period, Zheng Jianguo has a few small problems in his mind, but he doesn't plan to tell the other party back: "Wait until Yang Na has come and read it. Who is the next message? "

"Hi, Zheng, this is Levin. I have already registered for "Cell" Publishing House. I don’t need to use the name of MIT Press in the future. The papers submitted so far have been packaged. Give me the address. Someone sent it to you, but I was thinking about when you can read these thousands of articles by yourself—"

Zheng Jianguo was completely stunned by Valentin Levin’s voice. A few thousand articles are not a small number. Only a few dozen are published in a journal, which means he has to read hundreds of journal articles. .

Fortunately, when Zheng Jianguo was tasked with Catherine and Esther, he thought of using computer storage and retrieval. Although he would surely find out if he asked people to find it, it would make people discover what they were concerned about. , And the computer does not have this trouble.

Computers never pay attention to why they look for nitric oxide articles!

This faint thought flashed in my mind, and the sound on the answering machine disappeared, but just when Zheng Jianguo picked up the phone to dial, a lot of videos of tall chimneys emitting exhaust gas appeared on the TV, and the voice-over played: " Nowadays, the poisonous gases emitted by chemical production and internal combustion engines are mixed with a variety of lethal nitrogen oxides. This kind of exhaust gas that mixes nitrogen monoxide and nitrogen dioxide—"

"Exhaust gas of nitrogen monoxide and nitrogen dioxide?"

Zheng Jianguo suddenly realized that he should have encountered the dark situation under the light again. He put the phone back on the phone and went to the TV without making any calls. After amplifying the volume, he found that many environmentalists inside were holding up signs and surrounded the DuPont chemical plant. Shouting slogans in front of the door, I realized that this was a report about air pollution, and realized that I had gotten into the tip of a horn before: "At this moment, no one has discovered the interaction between nitric oxide and human cells? !"

Since the last time I remembered the little blue pill at the private banquet of the former executive director Kafran, Zheng Jianguo has searched the literature for a long time in the library of the medical school, let alone the characters related to the diastolic factor that causes the ** function. Yes, even the term nitric oxide, which is the source of the release of diastolic factors, was not found.

Watching this video can be regarded as solving his doubts. If people have not discovered the interaction between this thing and human cells, then it is impossible to write this poisonous exhaust gas into the paper on life!

Then, the effort that Zheng Jianguo had looked for before was wasted!

Looking straight away from the TV, Zheng Jianguo quickly took out his address book. He remembered that when he went to MIT for an experimental class, there was a girl who seemed to be a chemistry major. Later, he called to ask for advice. The article is coming?!

"Found it, Celia Keynes, I didn't expect to be in the same family with Keynes."

Subconsciously mumbling, Zheng Jianguo arrived in front of the phone. He vaguely remembered the last time he called back, what the other person asked about the compound, and felt that this matter was a bit unreliable on the phone. Of course, the call should be made. , Dialed the number and listened to be picked up, and then a strange female voice came from the noisy background sound: "This is MIT 208 Dormitory, who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Celia, is she there?"

Zheng Jianguo was a little surprised. He didn't expect MIT to install a phone in every dormitory. He just remembered that people dare to do it. It was only natural to have so many extensions for students, but he didn't. Thinking of the female voice who answered the phone, she said, "What are you looking for Celia? Do you want to ask her out?"

"Oh, in a sense, I really want to date her, but it's a business matter. I want to ask her about chemistry issues—"

Subconsciously wanted to deny it, Zheng Jianguo found that what he did was really asking to meet Celia, so he heard the girl’s voice on the phone: "Celia, a man asked you to go out to talk about chemistry ! This is such a crappy excuse—haha."

"——"

Zheng Jianguo listened silently to the laughter coming from inside, but Celia's soft voice soon came from the microphone: "Hi, Mark, is that you?"

"I'm Zheng Jianguo, Celia—"

Subconsciously prompting the other party to guess wrong, Zheng Jianguo did not expect Celia to raise a dozen decibels in an instant, and then returned to normal: "Professor Zheng, hello, are you looking for me?"

"Professor Zheng? Is there a professor with this surname in our school?"

Then there was a question with doubts. Before Zheng Jianguo could speak, he heard another voice from there: "Ah, Celia, is it the one from Professor Thomas's laboratory?"

"Well, I have something to do with you, Celia, do you know organic nitrates?"

Zheng Jianguo ignored the molesting of several young ladies in the background. His current status is just a resident for Harvard University, but he is a serious associate professor at MIT, although he is part-time.

"Organic nitrates-as far as I know, they are classic vasodilators, including organic nitrates, nitrites and thiol nitrites. They are mainly used to treat angina pectoris. The pharmacokinetics is characterized by rapid absorption. It has a fast effect, mainly including nitroglycerin and isosorbide nitrate of nitrate esters, isoamyl nitrite of nitrate and isoamyl nitrite of nitrous acid. I am currently studying pre-medicine."

Celia’s crisp voice came, and the noise on the opposite side seemed to disappear. Then there was a slight clicking sound of the door closing. Zheng Jianguo was a little confused by this sentence: "You want to be a doctor. ?"

"I want to develop in pharmacology, so that I can find jobs in major pharmaceutical companies after graduation."

Celia thinks very clearly that no one in this world does not want to go to the United States to be a doctor, but considering that it takes seven or eight years from the beginning of medical school to the training as a resident doctor, there is also a burden of Gao Shao. With a student loan of seven to eighty thousand US dollars, she set herself a direction that is easier and faster to pay: "So if you ask this question when we meet, I can't answer you. "

The pre-medicine course is specially opened for college students who want to apply for medical school when they were in college. Since each school offers it by itself, the courses are very different.

Of course, in the pre-medicine course developed by MIT, the chemistry of science and engineering is mainly combined with the branch of medicine in the biochemistry branch, and then the pharmacology in the medical school is emphasized. When you graduate, it will be almost all major medicine. Researcher of the company.

Although it is not as good as the income of the attending doctor after going through the medical school and resident, it is still an ideal job for many people.

"I want to study the effect of nitroglycerin on vasodilation, but I lack an assistant who understands biochemistry. Do you have any ideas in this regard?"

With the deepening of learning, Zheng Jianguo has recovered a lot of memory that nitroglycerin can play a role in vasodilation, knowing that this thing will metabolize nitric oxide after entering the body, so that it can play the role of expanding blood vessels. This is the reason why the small pill is marked to be disabled for patients with heart disease: "The resources are provided by me. If there is anything found, we will jointly sign the first author."

"Well, there are currently a lot of researches on nitroglycerin and vasodilation phenomena—"

Frozen, Celia's heart beat twice. If Zheng Jianguo invites her to join the Helicobacter pylori laboratory, she would raise her hands and feet to express her willingness to obey. However, the phenomena of nitroglycerin and vasodilatation have been studied for hundreds of years without any results: "Some have been studied for decades."

Many people know that nitroglycerin is an explosive, but few people know that the purpose of this gadget is to treat people’s heart disease. Since it was developed for this purpose, it would be better to take the drug in the sublingual venous plexus. Obvious effect.

However, its pharmacology has never been thoroughly studied. By now it has been almost a century and a half, let alone ordinary people, even the doctors only know it and don’t know why, and this is Celia. The reason for this is that after such a long period of time, there are hundreds of thousands of people who study this pharmacology.

"I know this, so I will not restrict biological experiments."

He will soon have his own laboratory, and Zheng Jianguo has a good understanding of the research conditions at this time. Other people are doing follow-up research on patients in this regard.

After all, the content of the research is neither the heart nor the blood vessels. These are all important organs in the human body. If nothing happens, no one would drink the suspension like Zheng Jianguo verified the pathogenicity of Helicobacter.

Of course, it’s not that no one does biological experiments. However, considering that the experimental monkeys that are closest to humans are expensive, the price of each monkey is around US$3,000 at this time. It is such an expensive monkey. It may be tested once. Five and eight are needed.

And this is the result in Zheng Jianguo’s heart. Otherwise, he would be reluctant to burn money to others: "Although this will cause the death of many creatures, but considering that our purpose is to save people, you will not have the mentality. Obstacles on the road?"

"of course not--"

Celia quickly spoke back. Although she is a sympathetic girl, she has not yet reached the level of sympathy: "What are you going to do?"

Unexpectedly, it would go so smoothly, Zheng Jianguo also spoke on the phone: "You go to the school to apply for a laboratory, I personally provide funds, we share academic achievements, but the follow-up application will be my personal——"
