349: Chapter 349 Good News!

"Is this for real?! You aren't joking, are you?!"

In a graduate and doctoral student exchange group at a well-known domestic medical university, that sudden piece of news shocked quite a few of the usually silent experts out of hiding.

"It's no joke. My advisor just got back from Jingzhou First Hospital, and he's been acting all weird, saying that there's going to be a massive earthquake in the medical world!"

"Right, my classmate is at Jingzhou First Hospital. I heard their hospital has already received an official red-headed document from the Xia Academy of Sciences, requesting their assistance in conducting clinical trials for a batch of new drugs!"

"The key is, do you guys know what diseases these miracle drugs are targeting?!"

This message immediately had everyone in the group on the edge of their seats.

"Among those drugs, there's one for scarless skin regeneration for burn victims, one for inducing secondary bone growth, and another for mitochondrial targeted fat burning."

"There's even one that perfectly reshapes pancreatic islet cells to cure hyperglycemia at its root..."

"When I heard all this, my first reaction was to check if today was April Fool's Day!"

It wasn't just him; every medical student and researcher staring at their phone screens and reading these words couldn't believe their eyes.

Behind each of those professional terms lay insurmountable mountains of despair in the field of modern medicine.

And now, someone was telling them that these mountains were going to be leveled all at once!?

Soon, this massive wave originating from professional circles burst forth, quickly sweeping across the entire Xia country and even the global public internet.

When the general public finally pieced together the content of this new round of clinical trials from various channels, they went even crazier!

"Scarless skin regeneration for burns?! Am I reading that right?! My younger brother was scalded by boiling water years ago, which ruined half his face. He's been rejected on over a dozen blind dates and has lived his whole life in self-abasement!"

"Secondary bone growth... height increase... Oh my god! I'm 169.5 cm tall, just short of that damn 0.5 centimeters. This has been the pain of my life!"

"And targeted fat burning, curing hyperglycemia at the root! This is the real life-saving stuff!"

On the internet, the mood of ecstatic joy erupted like a geyser.

A netizen with the ID "Bathed in Fire" posted a photo of their arm covered in hideous burn scars, with a caption containing only one sentence.

"I've waited for this day for twelve whole years."

In the comment section of this post, there were no usual jokes or memes, only thousands of uniform messages saying "Come on, brother!" and "Wishing you success, may you be reborn!"

In another support group for hyperglycemia patients with hundreds of thousands of members, the moment the group owner posted a screenshot of the new drug clinical trial news, there was a silence that lasted for several minutes.

Immediately afterward, countless voice messages popped up frantically. When opened, they were all filled with uncontrollable, tearful laughter and roars.

For them, this wasn't just a new drug; it was a pardon that would thoroughly liberate them from a life sentence of medication and strict dietary restrictions!

The entire Xia country's internet was immersed in a sense of happiness mixed with shock, ecstasy, and infinite longing.

Meanwhile, when these messages were translated and spread overseas, they triggered a completely opposite and intense reaction.

"Miracle drugs for obesity and hyperglycemia?!"

In the Northern Continent Federation, where high-calorie diets are the norm, obesity and diabetes have long become the most severe national health issues, with related medical expenses and complication mortality rates remaining consistently high for years.

When they saw that Xia country was about to begin clinical trials for a miracle drug that could fundamentally solve these problems, countless people completely lost their minds.

"My God! My father passed away due to diabetes complications, and I don't want to repeat the same mistake! Who can help me get that Xia country miracle drug? I'm willing to pay one million dollars!"

"I don't want to see my obese body anymore! I'm willing to trade everything I have for that fat-burning agent!"

However, reality soon dealt them a fatal blow.

"Don't bother, it's useless. Put away your checkbooks."

"It was clear from the previous two drugs from Xia country; they were all strictly prescribed through hospitals and forced to be linked to their national citizenship identity system! We foreigners don't even have the qualification to line up for them in the short term."

This comment extinguished the fire of hope that had just ignited in the hearts of all overseas netizens.

"Why? Technology should belong to all of humanity! Xia country is engaging in technological dictatorship!"

"Dictatorship? Friend, did you forget who was blocking their chips and sanctioning their companies before? Now that they've created something based on their own capabilities, why should they let you use it?"

"I'm crying, I'm actually crying. Watching the people of Xia country celebrate while I can only wait... For the first time, I hate this passport in my hand so much."

As for the wailing of overseas netizens, Xia country's netizens were naturally pleased to see it and quickly started a new round of "cultural export."

"Don't rush, friends. You can try our traditional crafts first, like acupuncture for weight loss, or learn our 'Refining Essence into Qi' manual, which can also strengthen your body. [Dog Head]"

"If that doesn't work, you can come to Xia country for a visit and experience our healthy food culture, like light Cantonese cuisine. Who knows, maybe you'll lose weight while eating it? [Funny]"

Every friendly tease, in the eyes of those suffering foreigners, turned into the sharpest mockery and showing off.

...

Time slowly passed in this peculiar atmosphere of ice and fire.

As the "Hair Growth and Strengthening Agent" and the "Foundation Strengthening and Vitality Cultivation Agent" were rolled out nationwide, their astonishing effects began to manifest in reality for countless citizens.

Young people who used to wear hats all year round because of receding hairlines began to confidently walk into barbershops, requesting to try various trendy hairstyles.

People who used to have cold hands and feet, fear of the cold, and weak constitutions every winter found themselves full of energy and with a rosy complexion throughout the winter, no longer needing to wrap themselves up like walking cotton balls.

These visible and tangible changes made the whole society radiate a vitality that could be seen with the naked eye.

In Xishan Base.

Lin Yuan, through the Artificial Intelligence "Xiaolong," browsed the various states of life on the internet with great interest during his leisure time.

Everything was developing in the most perfect direction.

Just then, a familiar name suddenly popped up on his phone screen.

Zhou Ping.

Lin Yuan leisurely swiped to answer, his voice gentle and calm.

"Hello, Director Zhou."

On the other end of the line came the smiling voice of Zhou Ping.

"Academician Lin Yuan."

"I have some huge good news to tell you!"

"Nationwide, the renovation and installation work for all seventh-generation communication base stations... has been completely finished!"
