Zhang Ping's hands were very soft, fleshy, smooth and tender, and it looked like a husband. Pang Xiaonan held it for a while before he let go reluctantly, but Zhang Ping's face was already full of redness. This was the first time she was held by a boy.

After coming out of the rental house, Pang Xiaonan received a call from Dr. Qiu. Dr. Qiu seemed very tired, but a little excited: "Xiaonan, where are you?"

"I'm near Dongli Military Academy." Pang Xiaonan looked at the time, it was morning.

"Can you come to the hospital?" Dr. Qiu spoke very quickly, probably because he was often interviewed recently and had developed the ability to respond quickly.

"Are you back?" Pang Xiaonan was a little surprised. At this time, as the leader of the Weilin virus epidemic expert group, shouldn't Dr. Qiu still be in Wenhe City?

"I'm back, but I'm leaving soon. This time I'm back mainly to implement your Weilin virus drug development." Dr. Qiu actually just arrived at the hospital, but as soon as he entered the office and before he could sit down, he called Pang Xiaonan.

"Okay, I'll come here right away." Pang Xiaonan hung up the phone and drove to the Affiliated Hospital of Dongli Military Academy.

Pushing open the door of Dr. Qiu's office, Anna was sitting in front of the computer and scattering information. Seeing Pang Xiaonan coming in, she stood up with a smile, made a gesture to the door in the inner room, and said, "Doctor Pang, the director is waiting for you inside."

Anna was wearing very sexy today. The white translucent shirt you can vaguely see the lace underwear, a black short skirt, and a pair of black stockings, which outlined the charming curves of her plump long legs.

However, Pang Xiaonan ignored all this, waved to Anna with a smile, and then pushed open the door in the inner room.

Dr. Qiu was sitting in the office, supporting his head with his right hand and his eyes were slightly narrowed. He was dozing.

"Doctor Qiu, I'm here." Pang Xiaonan sat on the chair in front of Dr. Qiu's desk and woke Dr. Qiu up without hesitation.

"Oh, it's Xiaonan, you're here." Dr. Qiu woke up from his sleep and sat up straight.

Pang Xiaonan looked at Dr. Qiu with sleepy eyes and asked with concern: "What? Didn't you sleep well? Have you been dizzy recently?"

"Yes, there are too many things," Dr. Qiu rubbed his eyes, "but the epidemic in Wenhe City has basically been controlled, so I have time to fly back."

"Is it controlled so quickly?" Pang Xiaonan was a little surprised, "How did you control it? Is Wenhe City now released from quarantine?"

"This is thanks to your prescription," Dr. Qiu showed a gratified smile to Pang Xiaonan. "If your prescription hadn't been able to cure this unknown disease, the epidemic would have been controlled so quickly. However, Wenhe City is still in a state of lockdown. It will not be lifted out of quarantine until the epidemic is completely controlled."

"You have tried my prescription on a large scale, right?" What Pang Xiaonan is most concerned about is the results of clinical application.

Dr. Qiu nodded, showing a look of relief, "I have conducted a large-scale clinical trial in Wenhe City, and the effect is very good, so I decided to start the production of the prescription immediately."

"That's great. In that case, treating this Weilin virus gastroenteritis is as simple as treating a cold." Pang Xiaonan slapped the table with a palm, which made the water cup on the table jingle.

Dr. Qiu pulled out a piece of paper from the briefcase on the table, handed it to Pang Xiaonan, and said, "I applied for a patent for your prescription, invention patent, and the patentee is you."

Pang Xiaonan took it and saw that it was indeed a patent certificate. He looked at Dr. Qiu in confusion and said, "Is this patent application so fast? You are moving fast enough."

"I applied for you before I left." Dr. Qiu picked up the water cup, opened the lid and took a sip of water. "This is a special matter. If you say that this prescription does not need to be kept confidential, you must apply for a patent. Once the patent is applied, the prescription will be disclosed. However, if others want to use this prescription to produce, they will need to pay you the usage fee."

At this time, someone was knocking on the door, and then Anna walked in with a cup of tea, placed it in front of Pang Xiaonan, and said gently: "Doctor Pang, please use tea."

Then Anna turned around and left, leaving Pang Xiaonan with a swaying and imaginative back.

"Doctor Qiu, you are not moved by Anna's charming every day?" Pang Xiaonan was very suspicious of Dr. Qiu's ulterior motives with Anna in his office.

"Hey, you're thinking too much. What age am I? How can I still be interested in this kind of thing?" Dr. Qiu waved his hand and pointed to the door. "Anna, I hired her because her image and temperament are suitable for representing me at some occasions. Besides, I have an eye-catching assistant in the office. Can it also reduce stress?"

"Don't explain to me, I understand." Pang Xiaonan winked and didn't believe Dr. Qiu's words at all.

"Do you believe it or not? Tell me the serious business," Dr. Qiu stood up and moved his waist, turned his head and said to Pang Xiaonan, "There are several production plans for this prescription, one is to make capsules, the other is to make powders, and you can also make honey pills, oral liquid, etc. Which method do you think is the best?"

"What's the difference? I mean production and application." Pang Xiaonan felt that if the effect was, oral liquid must be the best.

Dr. Qiu sat on the chair and said: "The effect of oral tablets and capsules usually requires the process of disintegration and release in the human body first. There are two parts of ordinary oral drugs disintegrate and dissolve in the human body, one is the stomach and the other is the small intestine. When developing drugs, the choice of where to release drugs is related to the nature of the drug. Some drugs are not suitable for disintegration and release in the gastric acid environment, or have a greater stimulation to the gastric mucosa. From the preservation of the active ingredients of the drug and the effect of the drug, it is more suitable for release in a weakly alkaline intestinal environment. Whether in the stomach or intestinal tract, the drug needs to be absorbed into the blood circulation and then brought to the part where it needs to play a role."

Dr. Qiu picked up the water cup and took a sip of water. "Compared with tablets and capsules, oral liquid does not need to disintegrate and dissolve in the human body, and the absorption speed is faster. The drug design of different dosage forms meets patients of different ages, different pathological and physiological states and different needs. For patients with swallowing dysfunction and emergency patients, injection injection is a dosage form with fast effect and high convenience. For children, from drops suitable for babies, oral solutions suitable for young children, to chewable tablets that cater to children's tastes, all of them take into account the tolerance and medication compliance of people at different physiological stages. In terms of convenience of carrying, oral solutions are slightly inferior to tablets and capsules."

Dr. Qiu scratched his face, and a white hair fell on his face, which made him feel itchy. "Not all drugs are suitable for making various dosage forms. Some drugs are not suitable for long-term stable storage in liquid environments, which limits that it cannot be made into liquid dosage forms such as solutions and injections. Some drugs that are prone to oxidation, deterioration and dehydration in the air can be made into tablets through coating technology to make it more conducive to maintaining the effect of the drug for a long time. Most drugs that make suspensions are insoluble in water or difficult to dissolve in water, and it is difficult to make uniform liquid preparations. It is necessary to reduce the size of the drug particles and add surfactants to disperse them in a suitable dispersion medium to make liquid preparations."

Dr. Qiu moved his head and continued: "In addition, the physical and chemical properties of some drugs are more suitable for making soft capsules. The attached capsules can isolate the functional materials that are sensitive to light and oxygen from the air and light to avoid the oxidation of effective substances, so that the product remains stable during the effective period and ensures the performance of its efficacy. There are certain differences in the processing and manufacturing processes of the same dosage form drugs, and some will be very different. Due to different process flows, the manufacturing costs of the products will be different, which is also one of the important factors affecting the pricing of drugs."

Dr. Qiu picked up the water cup and took a sip of water. "Dose form factors can determine or affect the stability of the drug, clinical effectiveness and safety, and can reduce the dose and improve patient compliance. This is also the reason why drug manufacturers continue to make new dosage forms. There are many cases where the convenience of the takers are improved through dosage form changes. For example, after the Qingfei Xiaoyan Pill was changed from Xiaomi Pill to water pill, the dosage was reduced from 8 grams to 5 grams, and the amount of honey was greatly reduced, which reduced the burden on diabetic patients to take medicine; after the Huoxiang Zhengqi Water was changed to a soft capsule, the alcohol in Huoxiang Zhengqi Water was removed and the taste was improved; after aspirin was made into enteric-coated tablets, it reduced the irritation to the gastric mucosa, etc.."

"Doctor Qiu, are you still a professor at the university? I see that you talk endlessly when you talk about your major. I admire you." Pang Xiaonan bowed to Dr. Qiu.

"I did serve as an external professor in several schools," Dr. Qiu was not modest, "but I rarely go out to class, and the hospital is too busy with business. I hope you can help me share some of the burden after coming here so that I can have the opportunity to go out to attend more classes in the future."

"No," Pang Xiaonan waved his hand, "I still expect you to assign less tasks to me. I don't want to be as busy as you."

"You, what age are you, what age are I," Dr. Qiu pointed to Pang Xiaonan and said, "You are not busy now, and you have no capital to relax in the future."

Pang Xiaonan shook his head and said, "Doctor Qiu, I don't agree with this. Look at you, I don't believe that you were not busy when you were young. Now you have achieved success? Are you getting busier and busier?

Dr. Qiu stared at Pang Xiaonan's eyes and said after a long time, "You are right. This is indeed the case. Oh, when people reach a certain stage, they are involuntarily. They still have to think about it. I still have to learn from you and think less about things in the future."

"This is not possible," Pang Xiaonan said with a smile, "Who said you are the dean in his position? You should work harder? Well, you should be very tired, so I won't disturb you. You should make the decision on the specific details of the production of the prescription. I don't have special requirements here. Oral liquid must be the best effect, but it involves cost, production process and pricing. You are an expert, and you have the final say. I suggest to do more categories to give consumers a rich choice."

Dr. Qiu nodded and said, "I think so too, okay, then I will make the decision myself."

After leaving the Affiliated Hospital of Dongli Military Academy, Pang Xiaonan drove to the old city. Because he promised Zhao Sijiajia's iron ball production, it had been completed. The old blacksmith of the blacksmith shop informed Pang Xiaonan to get it.

Driven by the shepherd in the old city, Pang Xiaonan found the dilapidated blacksmith shop based on his memory.

Before entering the door, I heard the ding-dang sound, and the old man was still working tirelessly to beat the iron.

When Pang Xiaonan entered the door, he saw the red fire. The old man was beating against a pile of iron on the fire. His naked upper body was clear and his sweat was flowing like a stream.

Pang Xiaonan entered through the door and blocked the sunlight that shot into the blacksmith shop from outside, making the scene inside the shop slightly darkened for a moment. The old man noticed the slight change and looked up at the door. Seeing that it was Pang Xiaonan, he immediately stopped his movements, picked up a towel next to him, wiped his sweat, and walked towards Pang Xiaonan.

Pang Xiaonan greeted warmly: "Old man, I'm here to bother you again."

The old blacksmith casually pointed to a stool and said, "What trouble is it? This is my job, come and sit down."

After saying that, he took a stool and sat down, feeling a little thirsty again, so he stood up and took a large enamel jar, took a big sip of tea, and breathed comfortably.

Putting down the enamel jar, the old blacksmith walked to the corner of the wall, took off the hookah hanging on the wall, and sat back on the stool.

Pang Xiaonan pointed to the hookah and asked the old blacksmith: "Old man, your hookah is probably an antique, right?"

The old blacksmith smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's not considered an antique. It's only a few decades old. It's just made by me. All the materials I use are good. If it is passed down, it can be considered an antique in the future."

"Yes, it must be a family heirloom!" Pang Xiaonan scratched his forehead. The temperature of the blacksmith shop was higher than that outside. His forehead was a little sweaty, and he was a little itchy, "Have I played the iron ball?"

"It's done," the old blacksmith picked up the hookah and pointed the cigarette holder at a corner of the blacksmith shop. "Where are you there, but I'm a little curious, why are your iron ball getting smaller and smaller? If you are practicing, as your skills grow, you will be able to use the original iron ball with no challenge. You should play a bigger iron ball."

The old blacksmith is also a master, and he knows the principle of progressing step by step.

"You misunderstood, old man," Pang Xiaonan explained, "This was not for me. A friend of mine, she was also very interested when I saw me practicing with a big iron ball, but she was not as powerful as me, so I couldn't use my big iron ball, so I could only help her create another one."

"So that's it." The old blacksmith took out a small handful of tobacco from his cigarette pipe, put it on the cigarette butt of the hookah tube, lit a stick of incense with a kerosene lighter, then lit the tobacco with incense, and then smoked the cigarette.

"Old man, have you heard about the Weilin virus?" Pang Xiaonan was very concerned about the impact of the epidemic on the lives of ordinary people, but in his opinion, the old man in front of him seemed to have no idea about this.

The old blacksmith nodded, took off the copper cigarette butt and knocked the ash inside to the ground, "I heard that everyone is discussing such a big thing, how could I not know?"

"But it seems you don't care at all. I heard that Wei Lin's virus is very powerful. Are you not afraid of infection?" Pang Xiaonan noticed that the old blacksmith did not take any protective measures, and there was not a breathing shield in the blacksmith shop.

"Haha, what am I afraid of?" The old blacksmith put on a small handful of tobacco again. "What should come will always come. This is called life and death. If the virus collects me, it is my destiny."

Pang Xiaonan admired the weather-beaten old man in front of him, and raised his thumb and said, "I didn't expect that the old man is so open-minded. I really should learn more from you."

"You don't have to learn from me," the old blacksmith waved his withered but strong hand holding the hookah. "When you reach my age, you will naturally be as open-minded as me."

After leaving the blacksmith shop, Pang Xiaonan walked towards his shepherd with the small iron ball.

Compared with the big iron ball, this small iron ball has a punch smaller and weighs about a hundred kilograms less. It is quite delicate in Pang Xiaonan's arms. Pang Xiaonan is also very easy to move, but this weight may be a bit difficult for Zhao Sijiajia.

Although the epidemic is becoming clearer, with the launch of the new drug to fight Weilin virus by Dongli Pharmaceutical Group, Weilin virus gastroenteritis is no longer a terrifying disease. As Pang Xiaonan and Dr. Qiu hoped before, the disease brought by this unknown virus has now become a common disease like a cold.

As long as a disease can be treated with symptomatic drugs, it will no longer be so terrible.

The previous arguments about worrying that Chinese medicine cannot cure viral diseases are getting weaker and weaker. The female reporter who questioned Dr. Qiu at the first press conference of the Weilin virus epidemic expert group also ushered in the trough of her career. People laughed at her for overestimating her ability and dared to question experts and question Chinese medicine, which has thousands of years of heritage. Her question video has been changed to various versions, some are weird and some are funny. In short, everyone scoffed at her.

Based on Pang Xiaonan's opinions and his experience in developing drugs, Dr. Qiu made Pang Xiaonan's prescription into three forms: one is a powder, one is oral liquid, and the other is a small pill, which is convenient for consumers to choose. He named this cross-century drug "Xiaonan Powder", "Xiaonan Liquid", and "Xiaonan Pill".

No one knows why Dr. Qiu named a drug like this, because most Chinese medicines are named according to the ingredients in it. For example, Huoxiang Zhengqi Water contains Huoxiang, Liuwei Dihuang Pills contain Rehmannia, and Chuanbei loquat paste contains Sichuan Bei, but does Xiaonan Pills contain Xiaonan?

It is widely rumored in the world that the naming rules of the Xiaonan Pill are because the doctor who invented this drug is called Xiaonan. As for the strangeness in it, it is not something outsiders can tell.

Although the epidemic has been brought under control, the Chinese government still dare not be careless and has always strictly guarded against the prevention and control of the epidemic, because even if the disease can be cured, if it is spread on a large scale, it will still cause great damage to the people and the economy.

At this moment, the situation abroad is already in chaos, because the Weilin virus has already captured cities and villages in major foreign cities. Due to the lack of effective drugs for treatment, the bodies are piled up on the streets, morgues, and cremation sites. It can be said that the corpses are everywhere, and the people are panic and complain about the government's inaction.

The Xiaonan Pills produced by Dongli Pharmaceutical are in short supply in China, so naturally there is no need to say exports. Governments of various countries pointed their finger at the Chinese government, saying that the Chinese government deliberately spread the virus, and after spreading the virus, it banned the export of drugs, causing casualties in other countries.

Under diplomatic pressure, Dr. Qiu held consultations with senior government officials on behalf of Dongli Pharmaceutical. After the video conference, he called Pang Xiaonan over.

"What's wrong, Doctor Qiu, call me over in a hurry. Is there anything wrong?" Pang Xiaonan pushed open Dr. Qiu's office and saw Dr. Qiu with a haggard face. Since the outbreak of the epidemic, Pang Xiaonan has not seen Dr. Qiu have had a good face.

"That's right, Xiaonan," Dr. Qiu stood up and made a gesture to Pang Xiaonan. "The above asked us to release the production authorization of Xiaonan pills so that all pharmaceutical factories in China can produce Xiaonan pills. What do you think?"

Pang Xiaonan smiled and said, "You can do it. I remember that you named this medicine Xiaonan Pill. Have you asked for my consent? Now that your butt is burning, I remember to look for me again."

Pang Xiaonan has always been jealous of the naming of Dr. Qiu's drug. How could this be done? I have never asked my own opinions. I knew that Pang Xiaonan didn't want to become famous, but just wanted to make a fortune in silence.

"Oh, Xiao Nan," Dr. Qiu smiled bitterly, "Don't be angry with me. We are a community of shared future. Besides, the entire Hallelujah star now regards us as the saviors, so we should look at it a little longer."

"Well, you're right," Pang Xiaonan nodded, "If this Weilin virus spreads abroad, it will not have a good result for our country and the entire Hallelujah. They are all people living on the same planet, and no one can escape from anyone."

"Isn't that right? So above," Dr. Qiu raised his right index finger and pointed to the sky. "We demand that we abandon immediate interests, consider national interests and long-term interests, and release the production authorization of Xiaonan Pills so that all Chinese pharmaceutical factories can produce, expand production for exports, and assist those countries that have been severed by the Weilin virus."

"This is the right way," Pang Xiaonan shook his neck and moved his shoulders and neck. "In the case of global integration, no one can be immune to it. They can release production authorization, but do we have to fight for a right?"

"What right?" Dr. Qiu looked at Pang Xiaonan with bright eyes. He knew that Pang Xiaonan must have a perfect solution.

"Export agency rights." Pang Xiaonan is not very clear about doing business, but he has one thing he knows, that is, to grasp the channels.

"What's the use of exporting agency rights?" Dr. Qiu was not very clear about the channels for operating medical services, he only understood technology.
