"...Alright, I understand the situation. Let them use the two Titan machines for now. I will send the maintenance pilot and spare parts over later." In the communications room of the Research Center, Chen Xin was on a call.
After hearing Chen Xin’s response, the person on the other end seed to say sothing else, but since Chen Xin had the receiver pressed against his ear, no one else could hear what was being said.
"Vaccine developnt? I might be able to help with the production, but the research..." Upon hearing the ntion of vaccines, Chen Xin had so understanding of the matter, but didn’t quite grasp what the other party ant: "Is there anything I can assist with in this regard?"
Vaccine research and production are two completely different fields. Research essentially involves identifying harmless viruses that can stimulate the human immune system without causing harm or having minimal impact.
Production, on the other hand, involves mass-producing these harmless viruses isolated from the lab and using them for actual dical applications.
The research work itself, from a technical standpoint, doesn’t involve particularly high technology, it’s primarily about isolating the virus strains, then inactivating and attenuating them.
Although modern dicine employs new technologies in these processes to enhance vaccine developnt efficiency and effectiveness, which is the key focus.
If these elents are disregarded, even using a standard dical school lab with students conducting the operations can achieve similar results.
However, this takes a long ti, and the effectiveness of the resulting vaccine is not guaranteed.
It’s like drawing cards from a pool, where ordinary dical students are like non-spenders, relying on daily efforts to gather a few stones and making single draws from pools without guarantees.
Though those with bad luck often see no returns, it can’t be denied that so lucky ones manage to draw miracles with single attempts.
anwhile, specialized dical labs are like spenders, who can invest to acquire more stones, drawing from discounted and guaranteed pools, even those with enhanced chances.
Even if luck isn’t favorable, possibly resulting in diversions or failures, spenders have another option: attaining enough draws for a guaranteed obtainnt.
So essentially, dealing with a virus, vaccines can generally be developed, it’s rely a matter of developnt ti.
Diseases like smallpox, rabies, tetanus, and HIV fall under those cases where the pools either aren’t implented yet, or are deep, making results unavailable, hence not suitable for discussion.
The role Chen Xin can play is rely increasing the pool’s chances and reducing guaranteed draw counts, offering discounts so fewer stones and attempts are needed to achieve results.
Though it’s not about having no ans to help, the actual assistance he can provide is indeed limited.
What’s more, in terms of modern dical technology, his contribution could be considered a minor enhancent, with negligible impact on actual production.
Since factory production and lab research take divergent paths—labs focus on quick, efficient thods, while production emphasizes cost-effectiveness, accuracy, and stability.
Thus, to achieve similar goals, labs prefer simple and efficient thods, whereas these thods get discarded at production scale.
For instance, the simplest solid-liquid separation, where labs would initially opt for mbrane filtration, specifically disposable mbrane primary filtration, or more advanced mbrane chromatography, where cost isn’t an issue for such small-scale thods!
However, these technologies fail even in pilot production, not feasible at larger scales! Then what?
They have to revert to centrifuges—cheap, stable, and easy to use, with CIP/SIP; not a problem.
In such circumstances, Chen Xin’s ability can play a greater role by upgrading factory equipnt to make them more advanced and efficient.
Yet, the person on the call evidently considered these issues, and after saying more, Chen Xin finally agreed and hung up.
Seeing Chen Xin end the call, Tang Tang, who had been standing beside him watching, asked, "What does the higher-up an? Do they want you to help develop a vaccine?"
"No, it’s the rescue team." Chen Xin shook his head, explained to Tang Tang: "They’ve been in the infected area for a while now and can’t return, but they want to continue developing vaccines yet lack equipnt.
The higher-ups hope to provide them with a simple set of usable equipnt, and asked if we have any good solutions here, otherwise, the equipnt would need air transport from the holand, which is too troubleso and costly."
After Chen Xin’s explanation, Tang Tang understood, but she still asked curiously, "So why don’t they use Lucia’s equipnt? They’re there to help Lucia, surely the Lucians wouldn’t be so stingy as to not lend a set of equipnt?"
"The situation in Lucia Capital is very tumultuous; although they’ve deployed troops to suppress it, the condition hasn’t improved. Rioters have blocked the underground passages and are in standoff with the Lucia authorities." Chen Xin conveyed the latest situation from the call to Tang Tang: "Without using heavy weaponry, the Lucia military has no good ans of resolving the problem swiftly, so things are dire.
For safety, the rescue team has evacuated from Lucia Capital’s underground city and is staying aboard two ark ships, currently unable to use Lucian equipnt and labs."
"Things are truly lousy..." Tang Tang also felt speechless at such a situation, considering one of Blue Planet’s top five powers couldn’t suppress a riot in their own Capital, leaving one uncertain what to say.
Nevertheless, strictly speaking, these matters don’t involve them much, so Chen Xin quickly patted Tang Tang on the shoulder, smiled at her: "Alright, these things we don’t have to ponder over, senior, please help gather equipnt, the task assigned needs completing."
"Okay, I got it." Tang Tang nodded, having been at the Research Center long enough to understand Chen Xin’s "capabilities" and knew how to collaborate with him: "Are you planning to modify so equipnt and send it over?"
"Integrate them into a mobile lab, so it’s easier for them to use. Sending just a set of equipnt requires additional test site arrangents, which is cumberso." Chen Xin thought about it, felt that simply upgrading a set of equipnt wouldn’t be convenient enough, deciding to create an integrated mobile lab.
Tang Tang rely raised an eyebrow after hearing Chen Xin’s proposal, although surprised, it was sothing she was used to: "Alright, I’ll make arrangents."
