Chapter 1173: Clone Snake

Forget it, let’s not think about these things for now, there are still more important issues that have not been resolved. Liang Ziweng’s different species of vipers, and the Pusi snake outside Xiangyang City are good things, and they must be carried forward in the real world.

So Shen Long called Academician Ma Lin and invited him to come to his house for dinner. As soon as Academician Ma Lin arrived, he told Shen Long the good news. Now the CML special drug he helped to develop has completed all the formalities. It's on the market. Due to the problem of production, it is only sold in a small range now, but the effect is very good. They are already preparing to expand the scale of production.

"If there is enough production and this drug is added to the medical insurance list, I will be satisfied for the rest of my life!" This work is undoubtedly difficult, but China is not the United States after all, and the influence of pharmaceutical companies is not It's so big, Academician Ma Lin is also a veteran academician, and there is no shortage of connections. As long as he is given time, he will definitely be able to do this.

"It's all thanks to you. If this drug can be used on a large scale, how many unfortunate patients and families will be saved. Xiao Shen, you will save countless lives this time!" Academician Ma Lin is now in a good mood.

"Academician Ma, in fact, I have asked you to come here this time because I need you to identify another medicinal material with special effects." Seeing that Academician Ma Lin was in a good mood, Shen Long stopped playing around with him and slipped out two cages directly from the room. One is filled with Liang Ziweng's different species of viper, and the other is a Pu Siqu snake.

"Snake? These two kinds of snakes are really rare. I haven't seen them much before." Snake slough, snake blood, snake eggs and even snake venom are common medicinal materials in traditional Chinese medicine. Basically, any famous Chinese medicine doctor can be regarded as half a botanist He is a zoologist, a zoologist, and even a mineralogist, so academician Ma Lin is no stranger to snakes, and he can see the abnormalities of these two snakes at a glance.

Shen Long is not worried about being affected by laws related to animal protection. Although these two kinds of snakes are rare in number, he can guarantee that they are definitely not on the protection list.

"It was also discovered by me by accident. I saw images of these two kinds of snakes in an ancient medical book. According to the records in the medical book, these two kinds of snakes have great uses." Shen Long first pointed to the different species of pit vipers and said, " The blood of this snake can invigorate qi and blood, detoxify, comprehensively improve resistance and improve physical fitness."

"The gallbladder of this odd-shaped snake can also nourish blood and Qi, improve athletic ability, and improve eyesight. It has a special effect on preventing myopia!" These are all explored by Shen Long.

"Oh? This is a good thing!" Academician Ma Lin immediately regained his spirits. He didn't say anything else, just said that it is to prevent myopia. Because of the popularization of computers, TVs, and mobile phones, the rate of myopia continues to rise. How many parents want to prevent myopia for children? If there is a drug that can effectively suppress myopia, how big is the market? It is definitely countless times larger than the specific drug market for chronic myelogenous leukemia. If it can be expanded to the world, there will be no problem with annual sales exceeding Viagra.

"This is a prescription I made based on ancient medical books, and there are a few patented medicines, you can try it!" Shen Long took out a brocade box, which contained these two kinds of pills and prescriptions, which can be taken by Academician Ma Lin Go back and do experiments.

"Hey, the problem now is still the same as before, that is, there are fewer raw materials for the medicine." Pu Si Qu Snake is fine. To maintain the reproduction of a population, but the different species of vipers can't do it, no matter how you look for it, there is only one.

"This is more troublesome than plant reproduction, but it is not impossible. As long as the value of these two snakes can be determined, we can consider adopting cloning technology." Academician Ma Lin said.

"Cloning technology? I remember that there are not many cases of snake cloning, right? Only American scientists have successfully cloned anacondas.

But the anaconda is a viviparous snake, and these two species are both egg-laying snakes. As far as I know, no scientists in that country have been able to clone shelled egg-laying organisms, right? These are the information that Shen Long found out of curiosity after watching "Jurassic Park".

The current biological level of human beings is not so high. Although sheep and even monkeys can be cloned now, humans have not cloned egg-laying animals with shells, such as birds or snakes.

Beginning with John Gordon, the father of cloning, who cloned Xenopus in 1964, people have been cloning oviparous animals for decades because they are easy to feed, require only a microscope to operate, and then throw the newly fused embryos into the water However, most of those oviparous organisms are small oviparous organisms similar to toads, and the eggs they lay are covered with membranes instead of hard shells like eggs and snake eggs.

"It is indeed the case, but today's scientific level has made a breakthrough. Some companies in the United States are studying the method of large-scale cloning of chickens. They plan to extract embryonic stem cells from the eggs laid by good breed hens, and then mass-produce them. It is injected into the embryos of other eggs, so the shell problem has been resolved.”

"If the economic value of these two kinds of snakes can be proved, then I have a reason to set up a project team and introduce experts in cloning technology to solve this problem!" The price of the medicine is set very low, but it can still bring huge benefits to the research institute, and he is now fully capable of carrying out research in this area.

"If this is the case, I can also provide some funds!" Shen Long said without hesitation, no one would think too much money, such a good opportunity must be hitchhiking.

"That would be the best! I'll go back and do the experiment first, and I'll talk to you about the next step after I figure it out!" Academician Ma Lin couldn't sit still when it came to scientific research, and insisted on going back in a hurry do experiments.

"These two kinds of snakes still have certain risks. You must pay attention to this when doing experiments." Shen Long warned carefully before sending Academician Ma Lin away.

The next step is to look at the research results of Academician Ma Lin. Shen Long is not worried about this. The efficacy of these two pills has already been tested.

Hey, if it can be mass-produced, give the players of the national football team drugs every day, I wonder if it can strengthen their physique, let them rush out of Asia earlier, and get tickets for the World Cup finals?

After seeing off Academician Ma Lin, Shen Long returned home, this matter has been resolved, and then he can concentrate on thinking about the problem of Qimen Dunjia.

Shen Long pondered, maybe this technique could be of great use, not just to tease Arya.
