195 Blood Disease
“I remember you. Does your project have any clinical drugs now?” Guo Miao asked.
Cheng Su shook her head with a sad look on her face. “We’ve been studying medicine all this time. We even went to a county near Lancheng to investigate the disease, but there were no results.”
Guo Miao sighed. The blood disease was similar to hemophilia. Patients would lose blood platelets at a very young age and have bruises all over their bodies. In serious cases, they might even die from loss of blood.
The disease had been cured during the Empire era.
“We’re doing a medical charity project there. We’ve tried our best, but there are still many children who haven’t been saved,” Cheng Su said.
“I learned from a village doctor and know some Chinese medicine formulas. I don’t know if I can help,” Guo Miao said.
She would be training in Huaqing for a few months, so she should have time to help them with their project.
Thinking of the lives of the children in Lancheng, Guo Miao couldn’t bear it.
“Really?” Cheng Cheng’s eyes widened.
Cheng Su knew that Guo Miao had displayed her computer skills at the Science and Technology competition, but he didn’t know that she also knew medicine.
“I can help you make some Chinese medicine prescriptions, but I have training every day, so I might not have time to experiment with you.”
After researching the prescription, he needed to make the medicine. He also needed to go through many experiments to develop an effective medicine. The experimental time required in between was very long.
“It would be great if you could come and help. I’ll talk to my mentor. Those children are so pitiful. We have to try everything.”
Guo Miao and Cheng Su agreed, and Cheng Su was ready to take Guo Miao back to discuss it with her tutor.
When he returned to the lab, his tutor, Huang Miao, was teaching a student how to modify the planting system.
“This herb needs a very special environment to grow in. In addition to maintaining a constant temperature and humidity, the watering time needs to be fixed. Your program obviously can’t achieve the effect we need.”
Nowadays, the lab’s plant pods were basically controlled by computers, so there were some computer science students in the Research Institute.
The student in charge of the plantation cabin was called Kang Yue. He was a computer science student from Huaqing. He wasn’t interested in medicine or botany. If it weren’t for his credits and projects, he wouldn’t have been willing to suffer in this place. “This system setting is too troublesome. Why is this medicine so expensive?” Kang Yue complained. If he hadn’t woken up late when he was choosing his classes, he wouldn’t have been in this laboratory. “You have to be patient. These medicines are used to save people.” Huang Miao wasn’t happy with Kang Yue’s attitude either. In her eyes, medicine was a great career, but Kang Yue’s attitude was always not serious.
Just then, Cheng Su walked in with Guo Miao. “Teacher, I’ve brought someone over.” Huang Miao turned to look at Guo Miao. “Is this the legendary genius?
Huang Miao knew about Guo Miao’s rejection of the university’s invitation after the competition. “May I know why you’re here at our lab? Are you interested in our research?” Guo Miao studied under a village doctor who knew a little about Chinese medicine. When she heard about the children in Lancheng, she took the initiative to come and help. Huang Miao frowned. “Ive been looking for this medicine for a long time. I’ve also found some ancient Chinese medicine books, but they didn’t have any effect. I wonder which famous doctor your master is and if he has any previous cases. Guo Miao changed the time and background of the patients she had treated during the Empire era and told Huang Miao about them. Huang Miao’s eyes suddenly lit up as he listened. “I really didn’t think of this method of treatment. I’ve seen some details of the prescription you’re talking about in ancient books, but it’s notcomplete. We can try your prescription. Guo Miao wrote down the prescription. Huang Miao looked at the herbs in the prescription and was a little worried. The growing environment for these herbs was even more demanding. “Kang Yue, can you come over for a moment? Can our laboratory’s growth chamber meet these conditions?” Huang Miao showed Kang Yue the names of the herbs and the requirements for their growth. Kang Yue furrowed her brows. These herbs were all very precious, and they required different conditions. According to the current program of the growth cabin, it would take about half a year to cultivate the required herbs. “The requirements for these are too high, and the opportunity cost of time is also very high.”.
