Zheng Li usually goes to the public experiment area in the morning to go around the public experiment area, listen to everyone's questions, and casually say a few words to give some ideas.
Then go back to the 17th floor where he is the only one. Apart from him, there are only different kinds of experimental animals on the 17th floor.
The mainstream biological experimental animals are generally mice, and there are some more common ones, such as macaques, orangutans, dogs, rabbits and so on.
Cows and sheep used in experiments are relatively rare, but sheep are the most famous. The first cloned animal is Dolly the sheep.
In Zheng Li's laboratory, the largest number are mice, and the largest area is macaques.
With the rapid growth of domestic biomedical research and development and the continuous improvement of domestic new drug safety assessment requirements, the amount of monkeys required for preclinical research is increasing year by year.
In addition, due to their high gene homology with humans, experimental monkeys are highly susceptible to the epidemic, making them the most effective experimental animal subjects after the outbreak.
The price of experimental monkeys has been soaring, and the domestic price has climbed from 60,000 at the beginning of the year to nearly 100,000 now.
The Lion City is more expensive, and the experimental monkey generally costs 120,000.
In the previous verification stage, mice were used to implant the most basic magic brain into the mice. This most basic magic brain can only make creatures have the ability to affect reality through instinct, and cannot accurately achieve what you want. become reality.
It's like you can't use the most basic magic brain to realize the magic hand of level 0 tricks in the DND system.
At the beginning of his birth, the mage always believed in the existence of souls, and later developed into believing that intelligent life has souls.
But for a long time, mages had no way to verify this point of view, just like humans believed in the existence of gods before, but they could not verify it.
With the development of the times, mages have directly observed the existence of souls through research.
Later, mages discovered that memory, soul and body are the components of intelligent life.
Using the computer system familiar to Lanxing to describe it, the body is the hardware, the soul is the middleware, and the memory is the system and software.
This breakthrough discovery was made after mages researched space teleportation, and they found that teleportation items can be used, but if the teleportation is an intelligent creature, he can only act according to instinct after teleportation.
So the mage seriously suspected that the teleportation caused the intelligent creatures to lose their souls, and later successfully proved this point.
Until the time when Zheng Li came to Blue Star, the mage still hadn't researched a way to transmit the soul, body and memory together.
Soul, memory, and body are like an impossible triangle. When a space transition occurs, only two of the three can exist.
In other words, in Blue Star's time travel novels, soul wear is possible, but flesh wear is impossible.
In addition, the degree of matching between the soul and the magic brain is directly related to the ability to cast spells. The standard magic brain will be sent to the Mage Alliance, but some people will choose to go to a special organization to customize the magic brain.
The reason why Zheng Li needs the experimental monkeys is because monkeys are also considered intelligent creatures, and they also have souls.
How to match the artificial magic brain with the soul, he needs to experiment on the experimental monkeys.
The research and development work of the artificial magic brain is tedious and easily exhausting. Fortunately, there are accurate goals and perfect theoretical support, so that people will not lose confidence and fighting spirit.
(The specific experimental procedures are a bit disgusting, so I won't write them. I was already disgusted after writing 500 words, so forget it.)
Simply put, it is to implant the embryonic devil's brain into the embryo in the female monkey's body , Take out the embryos that have not yet fully formed but have souls, and then use a specific device to observe their matching degree.
Finally the embryos are processed.
At the beginning of 2021, a year has passed since the discovery of the epidemic, and the epidemic has not improved at all. To be precise, it has not improved in the world, but has intensified.
The global demand for endorphins continues to grow. Previously, it took five years for Kechuang Biotechnology to license its external technology. Even when it was licensed to other companies, endorphins were still in short supply.
Because α-endorphin reduces the addictive effect of opioids, the number of purchases of endorphins has risen sharply. Canada is the first to announce that endorphins will be provided to "addicts" for free in order to reduce their resistance to drug ping addictive.
Some countries in Europe and Australia have followed up one after another, which has led to a further increase in the demand for endorphins.
Since endorphins need to work together with lipotropic tryptic peptides to exert their addiction-reducing effects, the demand for lipotropic tryptic peptides has also been growing.
The management of Kechuangbio does not want to see the market occupied by other authorized pharmaceutical companies, so they also want to expand the production of endorphins.
At present, the annual production of endorphin in the production base in Suzhou is about 16,000L, which is double that of the middle of the year.
After the opening of the Lion City R&D Center, the money on Kechuang Bio's books was spent like running water.
The minority shareholders of Kechuang Bio all hope that Kechuang Bio will start the next round of venture capital investment, and the management of Kechuang Bio wants to go public directly.
Only when Kechuangbio goes public can they get options and realize financial freedom. If Kechuangbio is invested in the C round of venture capital, there is a high probability that there will be no special option pool for the management.
Zheng Li does not want to further dilute his shares in Kechuang Bio. If the next round of venture capital is carried out, his equity will most likely drop to less than 50% when the company goes public.
The drop to below 50% means that the scientifically innovative creatures are no longer his words. If the magic brain does not make progress, his life may not be as easy as it is now.
"If we want to go public, it is best to list on A-shares. It may not be a good thing to go to the U.S. stock market in the current form." Li Miaomiao said.
Zheng Li nodded: "You discuss these matters first, and then report to me after you come up with a plan."
After Kechuang Biology released the news that it was going to be listed, major brokerages broke through the doors of Kechuang Biology.
Let's put it this way: In 2020, a total of 145 companies were listed on the Science and Technology Innovation Board, and these companies raised a total of 222.622 billion RMB in funds.
The valuation of Kechuang Biology is about 120 billion yuan, and the raised funds are at least 72 billion yuan.
This is because the Science and Technology Innovation Board must issue at least 10% of the shares.
After Endorphin was listed in Huaguo, Kechuang Biology has been hailed as the largest unicorn company in Huaguo. The purpose of this listing is to expand the production scale of Endorphin.
For brokerages, this is a guaranteed business, and for the investment banking department of brokerages, it can meet the performance of the whole year with the investment of science and technology.
What could be better than completing the marketing for the whole year at the beginning of the year?
In addition to the two brothers CITIC and China Securities, Soochow Securities, which belongs to Suzhou, is the most active.
For an IPO of this scale, small brokerages generally have no chance. Soochow Securities relies on its headquarters in Suzhou to try to swallow the elephant.
