Pharmaceutical factory, production workshop.
"Ms. Hathaway, this is the workshop where we produce Plum Blossom disinfectant..."
After Bai Jing finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao began to translate, and Hathaway immediately showed a look of surprise, "This is that, that plum blossom disinfectant, the kind that fights viruses?"
"Oh my goodness, is this where Plum Blossom disinfectant is produced? Many hospitals in Britain are using it now."
"This tastes much better than medicine, and it also has antibacterial properties."
Seeing Hathaway's surprised expression, which resembled that of a country bumpkin visiting a grand garden, Yang Xiaotao smiled proudly. "This little thing is nothing. We figured it out a long time ago, which allowed us to safely weather the first epidemic crisis!"
Hathaway naturally understood the situation during the pandemic, and hearing Yang Xiaotao speak so casually, she immediately realized that his achievements in medicine had exceeded her expectations.
At this point, Yang Xiaotao continued, "Actually, the reason we were able to develop this disinfectant for treating epidemics is all thanks to the medical experience passed down from our ancestors."
"Back in the Eastern Han Dynasty, about 1,600 years ago, a doctor compiled a book called 'Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases,' which contained methods for treating this kind of epidemic..."
Yang Xiaotao recounted the glorious history of Chinese civilization, and Hathaway and the people behind her listened attentively, their hearts filled with astonishment.
Hathaway, who is well-versed in history, has studied the situation in Britain. More than a thousand years ago, Britain was still under Roman rule.
But in the far east, in China, there is such a splendid civilization. What is there for them to say?
You really can't compete with our ancestors' legacy!
Helen and Fatty Nan were also shocked.
Especially for Fat Boy Nan, when he was in Hong Kong, there was no such teaching content in the school, and no one would tell him about the past.
Even at home, the grandparents' generation would only talk about this kind of thing during festivals and when they had a few drinks.
He is now very excited to hear about these histories that he has never encountered before.
It turns out that my ancestors were once wealthy!
Yang Xiaotao spoke enthusiastically, but Yang Youning and Bai Jingshu, who were listening attentively, were filled with doubt after hearing what Yang Xiaotao said.
This is truly a case of using someone else's name to intimidate others and make a big deal out of nothing.
How did Plum Blossom disinfectant come about? Others might not know, but how could those two not know?
If it weren't for the accidental discovery that the soap here could disinfect and sterilize, and then made into a disinfectant, it's unlikely that it would have gained such a reputation.
And all of this has nothing to do with the Treatise on Febrile Diseases.
However, this did not stop Yang Xiaotao from boasting. Just look at the expressions of these foreigners, and you'll know that they must have been quite shocked.
After visiting the Meihua disinfectant workshop, the group then went to the cephalosporin antibiotic production workshop.
If plum blossom disinfectant has only one production line due to its special production process, then the cephalosporin antibiotic in front of us is produced on a large scale in a standardized manner.
This scene was another kind of shock to Hathaway.
An industrial shock.
As Bai Jingshu explained, Hathaway and the others' understanding was once again refreshed.
"We are not only producing this anti-inflammatory drug, but also continuing to develop and improve it, keeping pace with the times..."
As Bai Jingshu recounted his story, everyone present was once again filled with emotion.
At this moment, Helen seemed to remember something and suddenly walked up to Yang Xiaotao, looking at him with admiration in her eyes. "Uncle Yang, I saw an article in an academic journal that talked about the theory of gene recombination and gene mutation."
"I've seen the annotations above, and your name is on them all!"
"I'd like to ask, did you write all of these yourself?"
As Helen spoke, Fatty Nan scratched his head and asked, "What is this gene?"
He would sleep, daydream, or chat with his deskmate during class.
But right now, it seems this matter is related to Duanwu's father!
Why didn't anyone tell him something so important?
What a mistake! A serious mistake!
Hathaway, who was standing nearby, also lit up when she heard her niece's voice.
She did a lot of research before coming, but she never imagined that Yang Xiaotao had these kinds of things.
After taking a serious look at Helen, it suddenly dawned on me that the child must have done her homework.
This child's thoughts...
Hathaway sighed inwardly.
However, considering Yang Xiaotao's background, she felt that this was a good match!
However, it's hard to say what will happen in the future.
Little did she know that Helen wasn't deliberately researching these things; she genuinely enjoyed studying genes and similar concepts.
Yang Xiaotao was surprised that someone would bring this up, and then laughed and said, "That's right, I wrote that article."
"It's just a theoretical paper."
"As for the specifics, we still need to prove it through practice!"
Upon hearing Yang Xiaotao's agreement, Helen excitedly covered her mouth, her eyes brimming with admiration like little stars.
"My God, this is so incredible."
"When I was studying, I was extremely curious about these genes."
"I also searched for many books and materials on this topic in China, but none of them had the concise and clear explanation you gave in your paper. Moreover, I know that many people are studying your theory, and although they want to prove you wrong, they have all ultimately proven you right."
Looking at the little girl with such an adoring expression, Yang Xiaotao felt like he was being idolized.
Although I've gotten used to this feeling.
But right now, I still feel a bit proud in the face of foreign children's admiration.
As for those studies with malicious intent, it doesn't matter.
Let them do their research; the final result will be the same anyway.
"I've studied your article about double-stranded DNA for a very long time, and I feel that human genes should be the same, just as you said, all composed of the same nucleotides..."
Helen gestured excitedly with her fingers in the air. Yang Youning and Bai Jingshu, who were standing nearby, were speechless upon hearing their conversation.
How did a perfectly good explanation turn into a worship session?
This isn't the right occasion either.
Then everyone remembered that their boss, Mr. Yang, was a true all-rounder.
High-yield hybrid corn directly established its unshakeable position in agriculture.
It can be said that even without the identity of the Nine Departments, the other party could still achieve something in agriculture.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg that Yang Xiaotao has shown.
That's the scariest part, because you never know how big an iceberg is beneath the surface.
Perhaps, without your knowledge, a shocking piece of news will emerge.
Yang Xiaotao was surprised that the young girl in front of him was so familiar with biology. He then smiled and said, "You're right, there are similarities in human genes, but there are also differences!"
"Just like your hair is blonde and ours is black, that's determined by different genes!"
Helen nodded immediately, "I understand, I understand that."
"This is the difference in gene dominance, which is influenced by their respective genes."
Yang Xiaotao nodded with a smile, "Yes, that's what I mean!"
"It's clear you're a good student who pays attention in class."
Hearing Yang Xiaotao's praise, Helen's cheeks turned bright red, which was quite adorable, but she quickly returned to her present state, "Uncle Yang."
"Does this medicine also have the corresponding properties?"
"Is it because of changes in genes that different traits are produced?"
"Could these traits be the cause of the disease?"
Helen's eyes were full of curiosity, more like those of a child with a thirst for knowledge.
At this moment, comparing myself to my own son, I felt that this was the real 'other people's child'.
Just as Helen was about to continue asking questions, she saw Yang Xiaotao shake his head and say, "Helen, there's a lot to learn about this."
"It can't be explained in just a few words, and the virus's genetic material is not double-stranded, but single-stranded!"
"Single chain?"
Helen's eyes widened, her mind filled with confusion.
Yang Xiaotao nodded to the other person without saying anything more, but looked at Hathaway beside him and said, "What we need to study next is the virus's mutability. To put it bluntly, the virus will continue to get stronger in the future, and our medicine will also need to become stronger!"
Helen's eyes lit up, and then she asked with a look of surprise, "Uncle Yang, does this mean that the new drug being researched is for dealing with single-stranded viruses?"
Yang Xiaotao nodded. "You can understand it that way."
Helen was thrilled again upon hearing this.
When Yang Xiaotao saw that everyone's eyes were on him, especially on Lou Xiao'e and Liu Lixue's faces, he knew that he had said a bit too much today.
So he took the initiative and said, "Let's go check out the next workshop; that's where they produce the artemisia annua antidote."
Bai Jingshu quickly stepped forward and led the crowd away.
"Mr. Yang, this young lady is quite good."
Lou Xiao'e walked up and said with a smile, while Liu Lixue beside her also chuckled.
Yang Xiaotao glanced at the two of them, not wanting to pay them any attention.
These two guys are already morally corrupt, and now they want to lead the children astray?
What qualifications do they have?
Seeing that Yang Xiaotao didn't want to talk to them, the two exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.
At noon, Yang Xiaotao hosted Hathaway and her entourage in the reception room.
A table of authentic Chinese food, regardless of the cuisine, is made with whatever is available and whatever tastes good.
This meal not only opened the eyes of British people like Hathaway to a whole new level of culinary delight, but also made Hong Kongers like Fatty realize that there were even better dishes than Cantonese cuisine.
After the meal, Yang Xiaotao prepared to return to the Ninth Division to report the situation here to Elder Chen.
Helen stepped forward from the group and asked again, out of curiosity, about heredity and genes.
At first, Yang Xiaotao didn't think anything of it and answered whatever was asked.
After all, many of these things have already been researched; Yang Xiaotao has simply summarized and clarified them more clearly.
Helen listened attentively, but the more questions Yang Xiaotao asked, the more uneasy he felt.
"Uncle Yang, what you mean by hybrid vigor is that the offspring of two people with different traits, or those with less desirable traits, will be better than their parents?"
Looking at the girl in front of him with wide, expectant eyes, Yang Xiaotao suddenly realized that this girl was probably more than just an admirer.
However, Yang Xiaotao did not let personal feelings get involved in this matter, but only used data to speak for itself: "Helen, since you know my paper, you should be able to see the principle of hybridization, right?"
Helen bit her lip gently as she asked the question, then nodded.
Upon seeing this, Yang Xiaotao smiled.
"Then you should know that one-quarter of these traits are dominant traits, two-quarters are the same as the parents' traits, and one-quarter of these traits are the parents' undesirable traits."
"This is the probability of combination, which cannot be changed by human will."
"You should understand."
Helen nodded again, then looked up and said with a smile, "So, only a quarter is unacceptable, right?"
Yang Xiaotao was speechless for a moment.
