Chapter 1034 Xu Chuan: I’ll give you an explanation!
Meanwhile, on the other side.
The upper floors of the Johnson & Johnson headquarters building in New Brunswick, New Jersey, USA.
Holding a glass of champagne, Dryden Porter, one of the directors of Johnson & Johnson, looked at the bustling city below.
On the sofa not far behind him, another middle-aged man, who was also a director and one of his allies, looked at Dryden Potter's back and asked.
"Has everything at the Hopkins Institute of Microbiology been taken care of?"
Hearing his companion's inquiry, Dryden Potter turned around, took a sip of the wine in his glass and said with a smile: "Of course, I hope Professor Carl can bring us some surprises."
"Cryogenic hibernation technology is indeed a great technology. If this problem can be solved, I believe many people will choose to go to the future."
Rhodri Morgan asked curiously: "Would you choose the same way?"
Dryden Potter shook his head and smiled: "I have no interest in going to the future."
"Then why are you investing in it like this?"
"Of course it's to make money." Dryden Potter smiled and said: "I believe everyone can see the value of this technology. It can not only make money but also expand influence. Why not Why?”
"Anyway, for you and me, investing two or three billion dollars is just a game."
For people like them, let alone two or three billion, even one billion or two billion is just a game.
For the Johnson & Johnson Group, which has been accumulating for more than two centuries, except for the actual people in power, not even the Federal Reserve knows how much money they have.
Rodri Morgan shrugged and said: "One or two hundred million meters of gold is indeed not a lot, and it doesn't matter even if it fails."
After a slight pause, he looked at the other person and continued: "But to be honest, I don't think it's a good idea for you to provoke Professor Xu."
"Are you talking about the young man who was a late rookie?"
Dryden Potter glanced at him and said with a smile: "That means he was born in that red country. If he was in the United States."
He didn't finish his sentence, but Rhodri Morgan knew what he meant.
Indeed, compared to a behemoth like the Johnson & Johnson Group, Professor Xu and even the entire country of China appear to be exceptionally young.
After all, it has only been more than seventy years since the founding of China, less than a century.
Especially for the descendants of old plutocratic aristocrats like them, their wealth accumulation and interests have already penetrated into all aspects of the world.
If Professor Xu was in the United States, the technologies he created would undoubtedly become wealth in their hands.
It's a pity that he was born in a country where they couldn't get many tentacles in, which is really a pity.
After chatting for a while, Rhodri Morgan looked at his friend and asked curiously: "Speaking of which, I'm curious about how you got Martian microorganisms and bacteria from the moon?"
Dryden Potter glanced at him and said with a smile: "As long as you have enough money, there is nothing you can't buy in this world, including a place to participate in Mars microbial research."
Rhodri Morgan curiously asked: "The quota is indeed easy to get, but how do you bring those Martian microorganisms back from the moon? Have you bribed those Chinese people who are sometimes extremely stubborn?"
It is indeed not difficult for them to get a researcher spot on Mars microorganisms from NASA.
But the key point is not here. The key point is how to bring Martian microorganisms out of the Yuehuatai outpost scientific research station base.
"Buying the Chinese?" Dryden Potter smiled and shook his head, saying: "It is impossible to bribe them. Even if it can be done, it is basically impossible to get Martian microorganisms out of the moon."
"Professor Xu's regulations and a series of inspections for scientific researchers from various countries are more detailed than you and I thought."
"It's not easy to get around the rules he set, but no matter how perfect the system is, there will always be loopholes. It's impossible to bribe those Chinese people, but I can use Franklin to make the Americans work for me!"
Rhodri Morgan: "And how did you do it?"
Hearing this, Dryden Potter smiled slightly and uttered two words: "Infection!"
Upon hearing this word, Dryden Potter's pupils suddenly shrank, and he probably understood how Dryden did it.
No wonder this is a life-breaking job.
If he guessed correctly, this plan requires at least two people, and one person also needs to participate in the research of Martian microorganisms at the lunar base.
First infect the researcher during the research, and then send another person to the Wolhwadae base through aerospace companies such as NASA or SpaceX to wait for the opportunity.
Then the infected person will find an opportunity to infect another person, or send the Martian bacteria out.
Although he didn't know exactly how to implement it, this was probably the only way to get around the lunar base's rules of entry and exit.
Landing on the moon is not exclusive to the Chinese, although they lost to China in the last round of the space race, and even Artemis' plan to return to the moon suffered a heavy setback.
But they were not without gains. In the subsequent period, they also arranged for astronauts to return to the moon many times.
But compared to the various super projects China has completed on the moon, their manned moon landing project is as small as a firefly compared to a bright moon.
But no matter how small the light is, it can still do some things.
The only problem in this process is probably to bypass the monitoring at the moon base and allow the first infected person to successfully infect the second infected person.
I have to say, this is indeed a life-threatening job.
You must know that it is still unknown whether these Martian microorganisms are fatal to humans, and whether they will have a serious impact on the earth's ecosystem.
Once infected, death is very likely.
Even as a director of the Johnson & Johnson Group, he was somewhat shocked by Dryden Porter's actions.
Unable to help swallowing, Rhodri Morgan frowned and asked, "Aren't you worried about the spread of these microorganisms to the whole world?"
Dryden Potter glanced at him and said calmly: "Does that have anything to do with us? It is obvious that China is not effective in controlling these matters."
"And it has spread all over the world. It is just a little trouble for us. Maybe Johnson & Johnson can even make more money through the infection and expand into more fields."
After a pause, he smiled and said: "Of course, apart from using it to complete research on cryo-dormant technology, I don't have any other ideas about these Martian microorganisms."
"The samples obtained through special means have been strictly protected and sent directly to the level 4 biosafety laboratory." "There, let alone these Martian bacteria, even the Black Death that once ravaged the world It’s impossible to escape even if you’re sick, don’t worry, I’m not interested in creating a big turmoil in the world, that won’t do much good for me.”
Rhodri Morgan shook his head and said: "You are a little too courageous, I can only say."
"If something unexpected happens, it may lead to the death of tens or even hundreds of millions of people. By then, it will be a global super disaster."
Dryden Potter laughed and said: "What does it matter? Don't you think there are too many people in this world?"
"The huge population occupies the earth's limited resources. If the population can be reduced by half, I believe society will develop better."
Rhodri Morgan shook his head and said nothing.
Although he agreed with Dryden Potter's investment in cryo-dormant technology, he did not agree with his views.
Half the population died?
This is too radical.
Opposite him, Dryden Potter took a sip of the champagne in his glass without paying any attention, and said with some regret: "The only pity is that this time Professor Xu did not go to the moon in person to study those Martian microorganisms."< br>
"Otherwise, it would be perfect to achieve two goals in one operation."
This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@书@@!! Updated!
"This really surprised me. According to his usual research habits and personality, he should lead a team to the moon."
Hearing this, Rhodri Morgan was stunned again: "If I remember correctly, you don't have any grudges against Professor Xu, right?"
Dryden Potter shook the glass in his hand and said with a smile: "Is it important whether there is hatred? His appearance is not in the interest of this era, at least not in the interest of the United States."
"Of course, I'm not that noble to kill him for the country. Infecting the moon base is just a casual thing."
"In the Chinese language, this is called hunting rabbits with straw. It's a casual thing."
"His emergence led to the decline of the United States, and also caused the large market share we once occupied in China to be knocked back by their extremely cheap industrial productivity."
"No matter what the considerations are, I'm afraid there are countless people on this planet who want him to die."
Meanwhile, on the other side.
In Jinling, an emergency meeting on Martian microorganisms is being held.
Several scientific researchers and staff at Yuehuatai Outpost Scientific Research Station were infected. It is impossible to hide this from all countries.
For any country or any biological research institute, it would be a major accident if a leak occurs while researching such unknown microbial bacteria and viruses and leads to personnel infection.
The BSL-4 biosafety laboratory is a "double-edged sword" for mankind. Its application may benefit mankind, but if it is not used properly, it may also bring various "disasters" to mankind.
In recent years, the international community generally believes that the potential threat of biological weapons has greatly increased. The main reason is that omissions in laboratory management and accidents have occurred frequently around the world in recent years.
Those who were studying microbial viruses were forced to blockade an entire laboratory and slaughter tens of thousands of experimental animals.
In severe cases, it may lead to the death of laboratory workers and the risk of microbial virus leakage in a critical area, a country or even the whole world.
In the conference room, Academician Chang Huaxiang presided over this emergency meeting.
"The leakage and infection of Class A Martian bacteria at Yuehuatai Base is a tragedy and a global disaster. On the basis that the scientific research base has a BSL-4 biosafety laboratory, these beings from Mars still infected many people. Researchers and staff”
As soon as it started, the entire conference room became a mess.
The first person to stand up and attack was undoubtedly the representative from the United States. He stood up, looked at Academician Chang Huaxiang who was presiding over the meeting and asked aggressively:
"Shouldn't you give an explanation for the leaked infection incident of Class A Martian bacterial research at the lunar base?"
"This is a disaster that endangers the entire human race and the whole world. You should be fully responsible!"
Faced with the aggressive attitude of the American representative, Academician Chang Huaxiang pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said:
"First of all, we are currently investigating the leakage and infection of Class A Martian bacteria at the Yuehuatai Outpost Scientific Research Station Base. In line with the attitude of being responsible for the world, if there is progress in the investigation results, we will announce it as soon as possible."< br>
"Secondly, before scientific researchers from various countries officially land on the moon to conduct research on Martian microbial bacteria, the project has contract provisions and reminders in black and white. The research project has huge risks, and there is a high possibility of an infection crisis."
< br>
"Everyone, including the national government behind him, signed a relevant liability exemption agreement when he arranged for him to go to the moon to conduct research."
"Everyone, I stand here and emphasize again that this is a global crisis!"
"In the face of this crisis that is related to the life and death of the entire human race, solving this problem should not be the responsibility of one country, let alone throwing all the blame and accusations on one country."
But obviously, faced with Academician Chang Huaxiang’s explanation, the American representative did not buy it.
He continued arrogantly: "But it was precisely because you guaranteed the safety of the lunar scientific research base at the beginning that we sent the country's top scientific researchers and medical experts to the moon to help you study Martian microorganisms. And now, hundreds of them Top experts and professors are facing a life and death crisis! ”
"If we had followed our previous proposal and built an independent microbiology research laboratory to ensure maximum safety, I believe things like this would not have happened today!"
"Now, shouldn't you give us and the people of the world an explanation?"
"You must know that these are hundreds of top scientific researchers and medical experts from various countries! I seriously doubt that your microbiology research laboratory has not reached the BSL-4 level at all!"
"I request that you fully disclose the information of the Yuehuatai Outpost Scientific Research Base, as well as the base's database and all research data on Class A Martian bacteria, and provide access to relevant documents!"
After the U.S. representative finished speaking, many representatives from other countries expressed their agreement.
Regardless of the current situation of Yuehuatai Outpost Scientific Research Base, this is indeed an excellent opportunity to obtain benefits and resources.
At the top of the list, Academician Chang Huaxiang frowned slightly.
It has to be said that the rejection of the United States' proposal to build an independent microbiology research laboratory more than a month ago became the core reason for the other party's attack at today's emergency meeting.
But it is even more impossible for them to fully disclose the access rights to the information and database of the Yuehuatai Outpost Scientific Research Base. You must know that there is all their exploration data on the moon in the past two years and many cutting-edge technological experimental data.
Just as he was thinking about how to deal with this meeting, the door to the conference room was pushed open.
At the same time, a young voice came from the door.
"You have to explain, right? I can give it to you!"
