"Speaking of pharmaceuticals, we're both experts in the field," Song He said.
"Yes." Xiang Xiaotong nodded. "There's no need to be modest about this. Whether it's Neuron or Chenghuang, the medicines we produce are unquestionably top quality."
"Drug development and production have very strict requirements for facilities. Modern medicines are becoming increasingly sophisticated; they aren't something a small workshop can handle," Song He said.
"That's right. I've visited some so-called world-class pharmaceutical companies. Their laboratories and factories are still built to standards from decades ago, so their ability to produce medicine is steadily declining. The times are advancing, but they're standing still." Xiang Xiaotong said, "Neuron and Chenghuang both have laboratories and factories built to extremely high standards."
"But they could actually be even better," Song He said. "There's a perfect place for developing and producing medicines—up there."
The two of them raised their hands at the same time and pointed at the ceiling, speaking in unison: "Outer space!"
"Space Pharmaceutical has actually been around for several decades. Whether it was the International Space Station or Tiangong Space Station, both have conducted medicine-related experiments and obtained valuable data," Song He said.
"That's right, but the key problem is that the scale of Space Pharmaceutical in the past was too small. Whether it was the size of the space medicine laboratories or the medicine factories, they were nowhere near enough to meet market demand. They were a drop in the ocean!" Xiang Xiaotong said.
"The small scale is easy to understand. After all, sending even a little something into outer space costs a fortune. Expanding the scale would mean terrifying expenses. No one has ever had the courage or strength to do it." Song He emphasized, "But Space Pharmaceutical also has tremendous advantages—advantages that Earth's conditions simply can't match."
