Pretty good Solarpunk prompt with some medium-hard sci-fi thrown in.

    Forgot? Have you seen what’s needed to make CPUs? Clean Room Manufacturing is a fragile thing.

    Developing countries often need a lot of help just getting to ISO Class 7, which is what’s needed to safely make cough syrup.

    Injectable drugs are ISO Class 5. CPU manufacturing is ISO Class 1 and 2. In some post-apocalyptic scenario, depending on the scenario, it would be decades or generations of work to get semiconductor manufacturing back. Even if you have an abandoned factory sitting right there. It would potentially be decades to get back to making anything safely injectable. Supply chains involved with specific parts and inputs. shudder
