The adjustment of industrial structure mainly involves compressing the production scale of traditional industries such as textiles and ceramics, while vigorously supporting the development of the pharmaceutical industry. This is in line with the law of industry development, because the development of the industry must follow the pattern of low-level predatory exploitation and utilization of natural resources and low-level artificial

The export of labor services will gradually shift to economies of scale, technology-intensive, finance-intensive, talent-intensive, and knowledge-based economies; the export of natural resources will gradually shift to the export of industrial products, intellectual property rights, high-tech talents, etc.

The textile industry and ceramics industry can be said to export industrial products, which is a relatively low-level and extensive economy of scale. The market cannot maintain long-term prosperity and profits will gradually decrease. The pharmaceutical industry is a technology-intensive industry with broad market prospects.

, high profits and promising industry prospects, it will be a new economic growth point.

In addition to making money, the development of the pharmaceutical industry is also related to people's livelihood. You must know that citizens of the Republic of China also need various medical and health care services. Medicine can cure diseases and save people, prevent and treat plagues, and is a solid Great Wall to protect the safety of people's lives.

For more than ten years, Wan Lei has continued to conquer, and has killed dozens of people with his own hands. The bloody scenes of mountains of blood and rivers of blood are no stranger to him. It can be said that he is not afraid of anything, but there is something in heaven and earth that he fears.

That thing is the God of Plague.

Plague is a large-scale infectious disease caused by bacteria and viruses. It often occurs in disaster areas or places with very poor sanitary environment. In history, plagues of various sizes have broken out countless times. Not to mention, the outbreak occurred in Europe decades ago.

The large-scale Black Death killed tens of millions of people. The whole of Europe fell into the darkest period, and it has not yet recovered. The Black Death also spread to the East, and millions of people died even in the Central Plains.

In this catastrophe.

The outbreak of plague will not only take away countless lives, but also seriously shake the foundation of a country. Many ancient civilizations have declined due to the great plague. As the founder of a country, Wan Lei attaches more importance to the prevention and control of plague.

In addition, as the president, Wan Lei also knows that the current average life expectancy of the people is too low, only about forty years old. You know, from elementary school to middle school to university, it takes at least ten years to cultivate a talent.

Years, and this person can only "use" it for more than ten or twenty years, the "cost-effectiveness" is really too low, and it is really a big waste of human resources for the country.

If the average life expectancy is increased to 60 or 70 years, adult citizens will have 40 to 50 years to repay society. From an economic point of view, developing the pharmaceutical industry and increasing the average life expectancy of citizens is also the largest use of social resources.

utilization.

In line with Zhou Bapi's spirit of making the best use of people, Wan Lei began to vigorously support medical research a few years ago. Within the Biological Research Institute of Chongdaotang, there is a Biopharmaceutical Research Institute, which specializes in the research of ancient prescriptions and new drugs.

There have been many achievements in the past few years. Especially since last year, the maritime expedition team has brought back many animal and plant specimens from overseas, which has provided new breakthroughs in some difficult-to-treat diseases.

For example, the expedition to Dongzhou brought back a plant, and an alkaloid extracted from it was confirmed to have a therapeutic effect on malaria. Malaria, which has ravaged human history for thousands of years, has a real general medicine, which is named

Once the finished drug cinchona is mass-produced and promoted, the number of deaths from malaria in the country will plummet.

In addition to imported cinchona, the Institute of Biopharmaceuticals is also studying local medicinal materials. Researchers searched ancient Chinese medicine books and found that the local traditional Chinese medicine Artemisia annua also has the effect of treating malaria, but this active ingredient is more difficult to extract and is not as effective as cinchona.

Cream is easy to produce, so for a short period of time, Cinchona cream was still used as the main drug for treating malaria.

The emergence of cinchona not only conquered malaria, a stubborn disease, but also had extraordinary significance for the history of medicine, because it was the first mass-produced broad-spectrum drug and started the pharmaceutical industry's move toward industrialization and modernization. From now on, people

To treat malaria, you don’t need to make prescriptions or boil medicine, you just need to use finished medicines, which is convenient and practical.

Of course, the industrialization and modernization of the pharmaceutical industry does not mean the abolition of traditional Chinese medicine. In fact, Wan Lei has taken a vigorously supportive attitude towards the development of traditional Chinese medicine. After all, medicine is different from ordinary science. It is an empirical science and cannot be applied in one go.

Overthrow it, and you cannot blindly worship it. You must keep the false while retaining the true, and test what is right and what is wrong in practice.

On the basis of adhering to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, Wan Lei also asked for an overall reform of traditional Chinese medicine. After all, it is related to human life, and practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine are mixed with some quacks and charlatans. This has also seriously affected the entire reputation of the traditional Chinese medicine industry, so

We need to rectify the industry and dig out the scum.

Among them, the focus of the reform of traditional Chinese medicine is to establish a physician evaluation system. Only those who pass the evaluation will be issued a physician certificate and can engage in the medical industry. At the same time, a college of traditional Chinese medicine will be established to provide comprehensive training for physicians and improve their medical skills.

All these measures are modernizing traditional Chinese medicine. In addition to revising some theories of traditional Chinese medicine, some theoretical innovations must also be carried out to develop new theoretical disciplines such as pathology, pharmacology, immunology, microbiology, etc., to make medicine more scientific and systematic.

.

The comprehensive reform and revitalization of medicine is a major event related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and it is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Wan Lei has just made a start and laid a foundation. The road ahead is still long. However, compared with still being under the rule of the Black Death,

For Europe, a solid step has been taken, and the Traditional Chinese Medicine Society will be even more glorious in the future.

Since the arrival of the rainy season, small-scale epidemics have broken out in the Central Plains and Taiwan, mainly typhoid fever and malaria, with tens of thousands of people infected. However, they were discovered in time, and isolation and prevention measures were taken appropriately, so there was no large-scale infection. Moreover,

With some special medicines and prescriptions, there are not many deaths, which is a great improvement compared to previous years.

On the twelfth day of August, Wan Lei issued a presidential decree to commend medical workers from various places. He also promulgated a medical development plan and decided to build a large medical university tomorrow, calling on young students to actively devote themselves to treating diseases and saving lives.

in a great cause.

On August 15, Wan Lei took a train to Jinling and visited the Super Medical Research Institute located in Baguazhou. Baguazhou is an island in the river in the north of Jinling City. The reason why the Super Medical Research Institute is located here is because

It is mainly engaged in the research of various viruses and vaccines, which is a high-risk field. Naturally, it must be isolated on an isolated island to avoid some leakage accidents.

The Super Medical Research Institute is headed by Miao Yi and has dozens of researchers. It is equipped with the most advanced microscope petri dishes and other experimental equipment. At the same time, the research institute is highly isolated, and there is also a battalion of troops stationed on Baguazhou to ensure that any

No one is allowed to approach, and even Wan Lei must go through a set of strict inspections when entering.
