Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2016 You think too simply
The old man watched the production in the workshop, then took photos with the workers before leaving the workshop.

Outside the workshop, Liu Huaimin led a group of people to greet and wait.

At the front, the three Iron Men saw Yang Xiaotao and hurried forward to meet him. The workshop became bustling again.

"Commander, we have prepared dinner."

Liu Huaimin stepped forward and said, but the old man waved his hand and said, "Comrade Huaimin, I won't stay."

"It was originally a morning trip, but now it's a full day. If I don't go back, I'll have to work overtime tonight."

The old man said with a smile, then looked at the people behind him, "Old Huang, you stay and represent us and talk to the comrades."

"Okay, Chief."

The old man looked at the people present again.

"Comrades, coming to the machinery factory today has given me a lot of shock."

"I hope everyone will carry out these 'three learning spirits' to the end and implement them."

"For the revolution, to serve the people, let's work together."

Papapa

Yang Xiaotao and others applauded enthusiastically.

The workers around applauded violently.

Finally, with everyone's farewell, the old man was sent to the car.

Before leaving, Yang Xiaotao took the bag of lunch boxes brought by Chen Chonghan and handed it directly to Tong Xiaolong.

"Commander, this is our machine factory's dinner. If you don't have time to keep it, take it back and save us from having to fire again."

Yang Xiaotao said with a smile, and the old man shook his head. This was the first time someone had sent a gift to his car.

Mr. Huang and Mr. Xia widened their eyes. This guy really didn't treat them as outsiders.

As for Liu Huaimin and others from the Machinery Factory, they looked regretful.

How could I miss such a good opportunity?
As for Zhai Jing and others from the textile factory, they also looked at Yang Xiaotao in surprise. This guy has a really good relationship with the leader.

Didn’t you see the smile on the leader’s face?
Seeing that the old man did not refuse and Tang Mingyue even winked at him, Tong Xiaolong accepted the lunch box.

At least I have food to eat when I get home.

They have been hungry all day.

As the car slowly left the machinery factory, everyone waved goodbye.

Only when the car disappeared from their sight did everyone stop.

"Commander, let's go eat."

As Liu Huaimin spoke, his stomach made a rumbling sound.

The same is true for Mr. Huang.

Everyone hasn't had a hot meal all day and is now waiting for dinner.

"Okay, let's go eat."

Mr. Huang strode towards the meeting room.

"Comrades, let's go have dinner together."

Liu Huaimin shouted to the people behind him.

Only then did Yang Xiaotao ask Zhu Ziqing and others to go back.

The original itinerary must have been disrupted.

But it doesn’t matter, there are plenty of places to stay in the machinery factory.

Yang Xiaotao took the opportunity to call Wang Hao to his side and asked him to go to the courtyard to tell Ran Qiuye that some guests would go home to rest in the evening.

Wang Hao didn't ask who it was and ran away immediately.

Several people came to the conference room accompanied by people from the machinery factory. Several large tables had been set up and there were meals on them.

Yang Xiaotao invited everyone to sit down, and then told Tieren and Chen Yonggui that the machinery factory would arrange accommodation for them tonight, and they did not refuse.

I came here today to visit the machinery factory, and I haven’t taken a close look at it yet.

What's more, they also want to talk to the people here and listen to the workers' voices.

After apologizing to Iron Man, Yang Xiaotao asked Xu Yuanshan, Bai Jingshu and Zhu Ziqing to sit together.

"Old Zhu, Old Wang, these two are..."

Yang Xiaotao was seated at the main seat and introduced the two people next to him.

When Xu Yuanshan came in the morning, he understood what Yang Xiaotao meant, but he didn't expect that he would be busy all day.

Didn't even say a few words.

"Teacher Zhu, Teacher Wang, welcome, welcome!"

"We didn't have time for this whole day!"

Xu Yuanshan said politely, and Zhu Ziqing immediately shook his head, "We have followed the leader for a day today, and we have benefited a lot."

The same is true for Wang Guangmei.

Bai Jingshu said on the side, "You must come to our pharmaceutical factory tomorrow and give us some guidance."

Wang Guangmei shook her head. "I don't deserve to be your mentor. Let's learn together. Let's learn together."

A few people were being polite. Yang Xiaotao glanced at Teacher Yuan beside him and said with a smile, "Let's not talk about it for now. Let's eat first."

"My stomach has been protesting for a long time!"

Everyone laughed and started eating without saying much.

After filling their stomachs and drinking two glasses of wine, Yang Xiaotao started talking to the two men about business.

"Teacher Zhu, you know about chemical plants and pharmaceutical factories, right?"

"I know! I asked about it last night, and today I listened to the guide's introduction. I know the general idea."

Zhu Ziqing threw a piece of braised pork into his mouth. The chef of this machinery factory was no worse than Yang Xiaotao.

The machinery factory is indeed a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers are hidden.

rich!

But what interested him even more was that no matter whether it was a pharmaceutical factory or a chemical factory, more than half of the credit for having today's scale, or having today's pharmaceutical factory, actually came from Yang Xiaotao.

This made his understanding of Yang Xiaotao even more vague.

Is he a mechanic, a chemist, or a medical expert?

Oh, and there's an agricultural expert!
What else?

Singer? Educator?
Zhu Ziqing suddenly felt that sometimes, the gap between people is even bigger than that between people and pigs.

Xu Yuanshan put down his chopsticks and spoke solemnly, "Teacher Zhu talked about petrochemicals, which is of great help to our chemical plant. I plan to invite Teacher Zhu to go there for guidance tomorrow."

Zhu Ziqing immediately laughed and said, "It's okay to go, but we can't go hungry."

After hearing this, Xu Yuanshan immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, the chef of our chemical plant is also famous, and he came from Fengzeyuan."

Yang Xiaotao was stunned for a moment, then said, "Isn't this a pharmaceutical factory? When did he go to your chemical factory?"

Xu Yuanshan said unhappily, "Our two families are one family, why can't you come and help me?"

Yang Xiaotao nodded quickly, not daring to refute. Bai Jingshu smiled at the side, while Zhu Ziqing and Wang Guangmei at the dinner table were all surprised.

This Yang Xiaotao is so approachable.

Teacher Yuan didn't care at all. He knew what kind of person Yang Xiaotao was when he was in Chaoyang.

Yu Bei even raised his wine glass with a smile, but his eyes were searching for that pretty figure among the people around him.

"By the way, Mr. Zhu, I've always wanted to ask you for help with something."

Yang Xiaotao put down his wine glass and talked about business, then took out a piece of paper from his pocket.

Xu Yuanshan understood what it meant at a glance.

I was sweating.

Bai Jingshu also looked at Yang Xiaotao with a strange expression. Is it appropriate to talk about this while we are having a meal?

If Teacher Zhu didn't do it in this situation, wouldn't that be a slap in the face?
He was thinking of inviting the other party to the chemical plant tomorrow to take it out.

After exchanging a glance with Xu Yuanshan, both of them were ready to save the situation.

Yang Xiaotao ignored their thoughts and put the note on the table.

It was a simple piece of paper, just like the notes passed around by kids playing house, and it didn't seem to deserve any attention.

However, Zhu Ziqing did not dare to underestimate the things he took out from Yang Xiaotao.

"This is a chemical formula, and it has its molecular weight on it."

"We want you to help find its structural formula and analyze the synthetic chemical formula."

Yang Xiaotao expressed his needs.

Zhu Ziqing immediately took the note, looked at the string of chemical symbols on it, and then read it out softly.

C15H14ClN3O4S.H2O
"Can I ask what this is?"

With his brows furrowed, Zhu Ziqing immediately felt that this chemical formula was not simple.

Especially since there are six elements in it, and based on his experience, there must be a lot of structure in it!

Moreover, looking at the changing expressions of Xu Yuanshan and Bai Jingshu, it is clear that this matter is not simple.

Hearing Zhu Ziqing's inquiry, Yang Xiaotao did not hide it, "This is a drug. I saw its instructions when I was abroad. I thought it was useful at the time, so I wrote down its molecular formula and molecular weight!"

"Later, I thought that if this thing could be synthesized chemically, maybe we could develop this kind of drug!"

"Unfortunately, our people are limited in their abilities and have not found a suitable structural formula, so naturally we cannot use it!"

"So I want you to see if there is any way to make this medicine!"

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Zhu Ziqing looked at the chemical formula on the note and fell into deep thought.

Wang Guangmei, who was standing by, poked her head over.

Nowadays, mathematics, physics and chemistry are inseparable.

Just like Ran's father, his major is physics, but with his mathematical ability, he is more than qualified to be a math teacher in a high school.

What's more, Wang Guangmei is a rare biologist in the country, so her academic performance is naturally among the best.

Looking at the chemical formula on the note, he pondered it in his mind. Seeing that Zhu Ziqing was still in deep thought and the people at the table were silent, he said, "If I'm not mistaken, this chemical formula should have several structural formulas!"

Zhu Ziqing nodded. "There are too many unsaturated structures in this molecular formula. I can think of at least three possibilities..."

After saying this, Xu Yuanshan immediately clapped his hands.

There was an irrepressible excitement on his face.

"Three kinds? Awesome, awesome!"

"Teacher Zhu, do you know? I've been holding this for the past few days!"

Xu Yuanshan pointed at the note beside him, looking excited.

The people around were also attracted by the movement at this table, and Mr. Xia nearby even put down his wine glass and looked over.

Xu Yuanshan was unaware of this and continued, "I took it to all the middle schools and high schools in this city, and even went to several universities, but no one said they had the answer."

"How long have you been this time? There are three types."

"I admire you. I, Xu Yuanshan, admire you!"

As he spoke, Xu Yuanshan gave a thumbs up and said with admiration.

Zhu Ziqing did not show much enthusiasm for Xu Yuanshan's admiration and praise. He just nodded slightly and then said with a heavy face, "Director Xu, you are too kind. This kind of analysis can be done by high school students as long as they find the right method."

Then he looked at the note and said, "Boss Yang, please forgive me for being blunt, but your idea is very difficult to realize!"

Yang Xiaotao did not say anything, but Zhu Ziqing continued, "This chemical formula has many structures, and each structure is different. Even if you change the direction, the mechanism of action will be different."

"A slight mistake can lead to a huge loss!"

After Zhu Ziqing finished speaking, Wang Guangmei nodded and said, "Teacher Xiao Yang, you think this matter is too simple."

“There are too many uncertainties here.”

"If there is even a slight problem, all the previous efforts will be wasted. If we want to research it out, the cost will probably be a bottomless pit."

Speaking of this, Wang Guangmei felt sad.

Why can't the achievements of their research be mass-produced? Isn't it because the investment is too huge?
Even if the superiors wanted to support it, they were discouraged by the huge investment.

When the results are not proportional to the investment, when the risk of investment is too great, the so-called reputation is not worth mentioning.

Their desire to industrialize the production of insulin is wishful thinking.

Therefore, they can only do research in the research institute.

Therefore, they can only guard the results and add to their sorrow.

But in the current situation, there is only a chemical formula and a molecular weight, and the structure has not been determined.

The eight characters have not been figured out yet. To figure it out, we have to try one after another.

This time is a big project.

You have to know that they are studying bovine insulin, which only has two chains, A and B, and are carried out at three research bases together.

And so it took another six years.

The cost involved is difficult to count.

Not to mention the subsequent production.

I really can't afford to waste time.

And the difficulties involved are several times greater than theirs.

If we follow their process, let alone six years, even sixteen years would be a stretch.

That's why Wang Guangmei reminded Yang Xiaotao not to think that it was easy, as it might be a bottomless pit.

In the end, it was just a waste of money and food.

Wang Guangmei spoke sincerely, and Zhu Ziqing also looked serious.

"Old Wang is right."

"If you want to get the drugs out of here, it's very difficult!"
