Chapter 59

When there was no class on the weekend, Lu Liang's original plan was to relax himself and sleep until twelve o'clock before getting up.

As a result, Lu Liang was woken up by a phone call at eight o'clock in the morning on the first day.

Looking at the unfamiliar number displayed on his phone, Lu Liang felt like smashing his phone.

However, Lu Liang still answered the phone patiently.

"Hello, is this Mr. Lu?" After the call was connected, a young voice came from the other end, with a hint of nervousness in his voice.

Lu Liang couldn't help but frown when he heard this strange voice.

He had never heard the other party's voice before. This couldn't be a scam call. He had downloaded the anti-fraud APP, so he was more aware of precautions.

However, just in case the other party really had trouble with him, Lu Liang hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Who are you?"

And the other party's answer was beyond Lu Liang's expectations.

"I'm Zhou Jun, an UP manager of the science popularization area at Xiaopo Station. I have no other intentions. I just want to conduct an online video interview with you, Mr. Lu. I wonder if it's inconvenient for you, Mr. Lu?" Zhou Jun was a little confused. asked cautiously.

Online video interview?

Lu Liang was stunned for a moment. Would anyone interview a small person like him?
When Zhou Jun saw that Lu Liang was silent, he thought that Lu Liang didn't believe him. He quickly said: "Student Lu, if you are worried, you can search on the Xiaopo website. My ID is 'Zhou Jun never believed me'." pigeon'."

"I saw your published review paper on new drugs for type 2 diabetes in the New England Journal of Medicine, so I wanted to interview you."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Jun nervously waited for Lu Liang's reply.

Lu Liang opened the Xiaopo website and entered Zhou Jun's ID in the search box. He soon saw Zhou Jun's identity.

He is a UP host in the science popularization area, and he knows that his paper was publicly reviewed in the New England Journal of Medicine, so the other party is unlikely to be a fraud.

After all, no one would read the paper before committing fraud.

After a moment of silence, Lu Liang asked: "How long will it take?"

After hearing Lu Liang's answer, Zhou Jun immediately became excited. He quickly replied: "It won't take long, probably a few minutes will be enough. Classmate Lu, is it convenient for you?"

"OK, no problem."

Lu Liang sat down in front of the computer screen, then opened Penguin and agreed to Zhou Jun's friend application.

Soon, Zhou Jun received a video call.

After Lu Liang connected, Zhou Jun's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, classmate Lu."

"Hello, I would like to ask, how did you know my phone number?" Lu Liang asked curiously.

Zhou Jun said with some embarrassment: "Actually, I am a graduate student majoring in pharmacy at Lu University. My supervisor and Teacher Ji Hong are friends. Then I went to my supervisor and asked for Teacher Ji Hong's contact information, and then I gave him the contact information through Teacher Ji Hong. Contact you with the contact information.”

Lu Liang was a little surprised. No wonder the other party could find the open review paper in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Zhou Jun coughed dryly: "Classmate Lu, then our interview will begin."

Lu Liang nodded: "Okay, let's get started."

Zhou Jun took out the questions he had prepared in advance and asked: "Student Lu, as far as I know, you have joined Professor Ji Hong's research group since you were a freshman, so I would like to ask what made you decide Are you starting to get involved in scientific research?”

Zhou Jun thinks this is a very interesting question.

Most students don't think about scientific research at all when they first enter college. Most of the time, they choose to join the student union.

Therefore, in Zhou Jun's opinion, if he started doing scientific research during his freshman year, he must have had lofty ambitions and ideals.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jun began to look forward to Lu Liang's answer.After Lu Liang thought for a while, he said seriously: "It's very simple. I looked through the student handbook and found that doing scientific research will add a lot of comprehensive test points, so I came here."

Zhou Jun:? ? ?
Lu Liang's answer made Zhou Jun suddenly dumbfounded.

How can anyone engage in scientific research just to increase their comprehensive test scores?

This is equivalent to developing a photolithography machine in order to earn two credits.

After a moment of silence, Zhou Jun spoke in disbelief: "No, Classmate Lu, besides this extra point, don't you have any other ideas?"

When asked by Zhou Jun, Lu Liang once again fell into thinking. After hesitating for a moment, he asked: "Does it count if I can get a scholarship with extra points?"

Zhou Jun was silent. He felt that asking this question was a wrong choice.

"Forget it, forget it, let's move on to the next question."

Zhou Jun forced a smile on his face, but he thought in his heart that he would cut off this part later.

Then, after Zhou Jun asked a few irrelevant questions, he began to ask some key questions.

"Student Lu, judging from your publicly reviewed paper in the New England Journal of Medicine, this research is about treatment drugs related to type 2 diabetes. Are you currently doing research in the direction of type 2 diabetes?"

"Correct."

"What stage is this research at now?"

When asked about this question, Lu Liang thought for a moment: "At present, as you can see, the animal experiment has been completed."

Zhou Jun asked the question he wanted to know the most: "Student Lu, I would like to take the liberty to ask, how long do you think this drug will need to be studied before it can successfully pass the third phase of clinical trials?"

Lu Liang understood what Zhou Jun meant. Zhou Jun's question was asking him how long it would take before he could see it in the drugstore.

According to Zhou Jun's guess, the drug has only just completed animal testing, which shows that Lu Liang has found a preliminary direction, but the subsequent clinical trials are likely to fail, but this does not matter.

Because most drugs fail in the first clinical trial.

The important thing is that after a drug fails in clinical trials, scientific researchers will continue to adjust and screen the drug. After about three or four failures, the drug adjustment and screening are almost complete.

Therefore, after taking these factors into consideration, Zhou Jun estimated that it would take at least six or seven years for Lu Liang.

Of course, this matter must also take into account the special nature of Lu Liang. Zhou Jun knew that Lu Liang was the person who independently developed a treatment drug for chronic myelogenous leukemia.

Therefore, Zhou Jun did not dare to use his own thinking to speculate on Lu Liang's research ideas, so he decided to shorten the time by one to two years based on this estimate.

Four years.

Shortening the time a bit more exaggeratedly, Zhou Jun silently guessed in his mind the answer Lu Liang might give.

This is the respect given to geniuses, and the minimum period is four years.

If the time is short, even a genius wouldn't be able to do it!

"One year!"

At this moment, Lu Liang calmly gave his answer.

Lu Liang didn't dare to say this kind of thing too exaggeratedly. After all, he didn't know how long it would take for the third phase of clinical trials to end, so he gave a very conservative answer.

Lu Liang's voice was not loud, but it sounded in Zhou Jun's ears like thunder on the ground.

"One year?!"
