Chapter 606 It Belongs to the World

In a round of warm applause, the brief report will come to an end.

But Tu Youyou didn't mean to leave at all. She held up the microphone and said to everyone in the audience, "Professors please wait a moment."

"There will be a press conference here next, and I will announce all the experimental data and test results."

While speaking, Tu Youyou waved to the assistant next to her, who turned and left.

When she appeared again, dozens of media reporters followed behind him.

They held microphones in their hands and cameras on their shoulders, and the camera was aimed straight at Professor Tu on the podium.

The shutter kept beating like raindrops.

At this moment, the audience was silent, and everyone froze in place, staring blankly at Tu Youyou.

She actually wanted to announce the results of the experiment to the world? It's just incredible.

All of you here are the big bulls in the academic world, and they all know clearly any rules in the academic world.

You can publish all the theoretical results at the seminar, but not to the media.

It is believed that once academic conclusions are made public in front of the media, it means that academic achievements will be handed over.

Tu Youyou and his team will not be able to apply for the patent rights of dihydroartemisinin.

This is not just a loss of millions, but a loss of hundreds of millions, billions, and even tens of billions!

Thinking of this, the professors suddenly couldn't calm down.

"Professor, before making it public, I would like to ask, have you applied for a patent?" asked a professor from the Department of Life Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in the crowd.

"Yes, Professor Tu, we do not object to your disclosure, but before you publicly apologize, please be sure to submit a patent application."

"Artemisinin is our treasure in China..."

"..."

For a time, everyone was discouraged.

It's not that they make a fuss or that they are small, but that artemisinin is too important, it involves tens of billions of patent royalties, and they cannot tolerate it.

Of course, Qin Luo also thought the same as everyone. After all, it was a cost of tens of billions, which was not a small sum.

It's better to keep it in your own pocket than to profit from foreign pharmaceutical companies.

But some people think so, not everyone thinks so.

For everyone's kind reminder, Tu Youyou nodded her thanks, and then said, "I appreciate everyone's kindness, but the purpose of my press conference today is very simple."

"I'm just going to make the patent public."

Qin Luo: ? ? ?

Crowd: ...

Media reporter: card wipe, card wipe.

"Professor Tu, we want to know the reason." Someone in the crowd asked.

Giving up tens of billions of wealth is unbelievable!

"The reason is very simple. The reason why I have devoted my life to researching and developing artemisinin has never thought about how much money I will make, how many honors and praises I will get. My only purpose is to save people!" Professor Tu said slowly. : "If you hold the patent in your hands and charge the patent fee, you can indeed earn a lot of money, but in order to earn the patent fee back, each drug dealer will directly transfer the patent fee to artemisinin."

"The rich can naturally use artemisinin, but what about the poor?"

"Have you ever thought about it, what are the people who are replaced by malaria? How many rich people are there. Once I patent artemisinin, how many people will be under the evil king of malaria?"
