Complete Pharmaceutical Database

Two pieces of good news at once!

The instant his engineering level rose to level 1,

Wu Chen felt that he had gained experience and judgment.

The system had not directly given him engineering knowledge. Instead, it had fused the theoretical knowledge he already understood with countless instances of muscle memory.

It was like someone who knew how to ride a bicycle but had never actually ridden one. They would definitely fall the first time.

Only through actual practice could they ride steadily and well.

It was much the same for Wu Chen.

He had read plenty of theory on production and construction and knew roughly how screws were fastened in a factory, but he had no hands-on experience.

The system had directly filled that gap in his practical skills!

Now he not only knew how to tighten a screw, but could also tell by feel exactly how tight it should be.

He not only understood the principles of welding, but could also tell the quality of a weld at a glance.

It was no exaggeration to say that if he went to work at a factory now, he would be the brightest star on the assembly line!

He had truly achieved thirty years of work experience without ever having worked a day!

For a moment, Wu Chen even wanted to find a factory job.

After his excitement subsided a little, Wu Chen took out the production line documents for Little Jiang No. 2 again.

This time, he truly understood the data, rather than seeing it as dry text.

Previously, all he had thought was that the steps in the documents were laid out clearly.

But why had things been designed that way? Why had a particular screw been specified as M3 rather than M2.5? Should the welding current be kept at 1.2 A or 1.5 A?

He had been completely unable to work out the underlying logic.

But now, drawing on the experience in his mind, he knew why.

Phillips screws were used to make rapid disassembly easier.

A current of 1.3 A ensured a secure weld while avoiding damage to the copper layer on the PCB.

After reading through the production line documents in full once more, Wu Chen let out a long breath.

He had really been brave to strut into the factory and show off before.

The others had probably realized he was an amateur long ago.

That would not happen again.

Unfortunately, though he could understand the drawings, he could not design a production line like this.

Just as someone who had spent a lifetime tightening screws could not design a car.

To gain design ability at a higher level, he would probably need engineering to reach level 2 or 3.

Composing himself, Wu Chen took a sip of coffee and summoned the system again.

He still had one random draw left!

"System, draw!"

As his words fell, a golden wheel appeared before his eyes.

The pointer began to spin.

Wu Chen's heart tightened along with it.

No wonder some people liked gambling.

An unknown reward like this was a deadly temptation for curiosity-driven humans.

Even Wu Chen was not immune.

As he watched, the pointer finally began to slow.

It eventually stopped right in the middle of the sample option.

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained the Complete Pharmaceutical Database!]

[Data includes:]

[1. Core protein sequences corresponding to all common diseases]

[2. Efficacy data for drugs already on the market]

[3. Unpublished experimental data]

[Data updated through 2008]

[Subsequent data updates require Skill Points]

A flash of golden light passed, and a vast amount of medical data suddenly appeared in Wu Chen's mind, while a metal USB drive appeared in his hand.

Fortunately, the enormous amount of data was quickly organized into perfect order, allowing him to consult it whenever he wanted, as though a database had been added to his brain.

After looking through it, he plugged the USB drive into his computer.

Though the drive looked small, its capacity was an astonishing 512 TB. It was clearly black technology provided by the system.

It even had anti-counterfeiting authentication and could only be unlocked with his passcode and fingerprint.

Its contents, however, were the same as the data in his mind.

Looking at the data, Wu Chen's breathing grew a little heavier.

His goal was to create a large AI model, but in 2008, there were two difficulties standing in his way.

The first was hardware. Even the latest graphics cards could not get the job done, so he had to find another way.

The second was data.

Training a large AI model required vast amounts of data.

Take ChatGPT 3.5, a genuinely usable large AI model, for example.

Its initial training text amounted to a staggering 45 TB.

Although OpenAI said the data had all been obtained from the internet,

in reality, a large portion had to be purchased directly.

The data Wu Chen had obtained from the system's draw was absolutely unavailable on the internet and had to be bought.

It might be top-secret information that major pharmaceutical companies had spent billions of dollars and more than a decade accumulating!

It was worth at least hundreds of millions of dollars!

And even at that price, it was impossible to buy!

It could be said to represent everything humanity had accumulated in the field of pharmacy!

But now, not only was this astronomically valuable data in his mind, it was also stored on the USB drive in his hand!

Although it could not be used to train a large model like ChatGPT,

once it had been labeled, training a drug design model similar to AlphaFold would be no problem at all.

So all he needed to do was work out the theoretical algorithm framework.

Once completed, it could be used specifically for drug research and development, bringing various miracle drugs that would otherwise only appear in later years onto the market early.

In an instant, Wu Chen thought of several research directions.

Cancer, AIDS, Alzheimer's disease...

If he changed his research direction now, he could immediately become a top expert in the industry!

No one in this world would understand pharmacy better than he did!

But after some thought, he still decided to focus on GLP-1 and develop semaglutide!

This drug, later known as a miracle weight-loss drug, was actually used to treat type 2 diabetes.

Its difficulty was manageable, its value immeasurable, and it met an essential need!

Full of excitement, Wu Chen forced himself into bed and off to sleep.

There were many things he could do in the future.

But the most important thing right now was sleep.

The next afternoon, there was another general education class on artificial intelligence for third-year students.

Min Xinrou had probably been held up by her work in the cafeteria at noon, so she ran into the classroom just as class was about to start.

The seat in the first row, directly facing the lectern, was still empty, though.

After all, not many people wanted to sleep soundly in front of the teacher on a drowsy afternoon.

After quickly taking out her textbook, Min Xinrou gave Wu Chen an apologetic smile.

Wu Chen nodded to her and began taking attendance the moment the bell rang.

Almost everyone was present this time.

The class also went very smoothly, with nothing unexpected happening.

At four thirty, however, several students kept glancing toward the classroom door.

Wu Chen frowned.

"There are still five minutes before class ends. Can't you wait?"

Wu Chen was easygoing during breaks and could joke around with everyone, so the classroom atmosphere was good.

But during class, Wu Chen would not tolerate any behavior that disrupted it.

That afternoon, he had already warned people twice for talking in class.

So, for a moment, everyone lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

Min Xinrou, however, raised her hand.

"What is it?"

Wu Chen was a little surprised.

Min Xinrou stood up awkwardly and said quietly, "Teacher, someone outside is looking for you."

"Oh, sit down."

Wu Chen turned to look and saw that there really was someone standing at the classroom door.

She did not seem to have expected herself to cause a commotion in the classroom, either.

She had underestimated how popular a beautiful woman could be in the School of Information Engineering.

Wu Chen pinched the bridge of his nose and first apologized to the students.

"Sorry, everyone. I didn't understand what was going on just now. Carry on practicing."

Then he stepped down from the lectern and went to the door. Looking at the person outside, he asked in surprise, "Teacher Jiang, what brings you here?"
