Chapter 509: The Original Driving Force of Technology

On January 5, 2022, Xiaohan in the 24 solar terms.

On this day, the weather in Jiangcheng was extremely cold, and it was a heavy fog in the morning.

Subsequently, small snowflakes appeared in the sky, and the snow fell more and more, and the huge river city was covered in silver.

After receiving the permission of the leaders, the employees of Pangu Science and Technology Park came to the square outside the headquarters of the science and technology park and the courtyard of the park to enjoy the snow scene, and they were excited.

Many girls are circling around the square, using the selfie camera stretched out by the green lotus device to take pictures of the beautiful scenery at this moment.

Pangu Technology's work system is actually relatively free, seeing that the employees are so happy, Lin Li, as the rotating chairman, simply let the employees freely arrange today's time according to their own work conditions.

On the notice issued by Pangu Technology Group a minute ago, it was written: Work has to be done every day, but snow is not every day, and today is a holiday.

A few seconds later, Pangu Technology's holiday notice appeared on the Internet and instantly became a hot search content on Weibo.

"Someone else's company!"

"Because it's snowing, it's a holiday, and there's no reason for it!"

"It's good that your own company can be as highly humanized as Pangu Technology. Xiao Chen, an employee of a self-media company in Jiangcheng, sighed while scrolling through Weibo.

"Chen Li, what are you doing?Playing with your phone during work hours, have you edited the video screen today?" The boss ghostly appeared behind Xiao Chen, frightening Xiao Chen to stare at the screen.

The geographical location of Jiangcheng determines the climate, like today's heavy snowfall, which has not occurred for several years.

"Xiao Chu, open the window. Xiao Ming walked to the balcony of the office.

The window opened slowly, and a cold blew in, and Xiao Ming, who was wearing a shirt because of the heating, shivered.

Xiao Chu complained: "The indoor temperature is 24 degrees, and the outdoor temperature is minus 5 degrees, and the pressure difference between the inside and outside is formed. ”

Xiao Ming stroked his arm and said, "Is it a viral flu or a bacterial flu?"

Xiao Chu replied: "First the virus will attack your immune system, causing your immune system to decline, and bacteria will take this opportunity to slowly invade your body starting from your tonsils, and then you will have a sore throat, cough, and runny nose. ”

Xiao Ming adapted to this cold wind, he turned around and said, "Xiao Chu, then I have to ask you a question. ”

Super Xiaochu has been with Xiao Ming for so long, and he has already guessed what Xiao Ming will ask: "Do you mean how to treat mixed colds? The first step is, of course, to reduce inflammation ......."

After Xiao Ming interrupted, he said seriously: "What I want to ask is, what color mask should I use if I have a cold, blue or white?"

Xiao Chu: "I don't want to talk now...... But I think you're good for pink. ”

Xiao Ming smiled, "In areas with monsoon climates, the distinct seasons will reduce the outbreak of viruses and bacteria, and the alternation of the dry season and rainy season in the subtropical climate will also inhibit the outbreak of viruses and bacteria to a certain extent. I just read the Ebola report by Gao Siqi, and the Congo region has had five consecutive years of dry and rainy seasons, which may be the external trigger for the outbreak of the virus. ”

Xiao Chu said: "The climate anomaly in recent years is related to human activities, as well as the activities of the planet and the solar system itself. ”

The trajectory of the solar system is formed on the large screen, with the planets in the solar system revolving around the sun and the entire solar system spiraling around the center of the Milky Way.

Xiao Chu said: "The change of the earth's climate is related to the position of movement, and it is also related to the internal activities of the earth itself. Everything has an end, and humanity has only accelerated that possibility. ”

Xiao Ming smiled: "Anyway, we can't see that day, live in the moment." I'm just thinking, I hope Gao Siqi and Zheng Xuanyu don't feel guilty, we can only try our best to help others, but not save everyone. ”

Xiao Ming said this because Zheng Xuanyu, who has been in the isolation center in the past few days, has had great fluctuations in her mood, she is often anxious because of Ebola, and she is constantly reading the news about the Ebola epidemic.

When talking to Xiao Ming last night, Zheng Xuanyu kept saying that the little girl she saw infected with the virus looked at Zheng Xuanyu through the glass with big eyes, and her eyes were full of longing for life.

When Zheng Xuanyu was leaving South Anfei, she learned that the little girl had died of respiratory failure.

A few days ago, Zheng Xuanyu was able to accept this matter, but she was very sad during this time.

In the face of nature and cruel diseases, life is so small.

Xiao Ming also regretted letting the two girls go to the epidemic area, and the process of fighting the virus was a process of tormenting the souls of medical staff.

Xiao Chu knew what Xiao Ming was worried about, she said: "In fact, these kindnesses in human hearts and the desire for a better life are also the most beautiful driving force for the development of science and technology. ”

Xiao Chu quickly listed the latest news after the Ebola year, which is in the epidemic area of the hot dry season, although the epidemic has not spread further, but there is no improvement, the death rate has surged, and the WHO is calling on the gene company in the Maple Leaf country to develop the Ebola vaccine to increase the supply of vaccines to Africa.

But this call did not help, and the original intention of NL Genetics to develop the Ebola vaccine was not to help African people resist the invasion of the virus, but to prevent their own people from getting infected with Ebola.

In an interview with CNN, the chief geneticist of NL Company, Clive replied very bluntly, saying: "The development of vaccines is very expensive, and the production process is very complicated. We are producing vaccines to prevent our people from contracting Ebola, not to save the world, and our assistance to Africa is limited. ”

The CNN reporter asked: "Is Mr. Clive expressing that NL Genomics will not provide the Ebola vaccine to the WHO?"

"No, no, no!" Clive replied, "I mean, we're not going to give the WHO unlimited quantities of vaccines, and we've stopped supplying 300 sets of vaccines to them at the moment. ”

300 groups of vaccines can only prevent 300 people from being infected.

"If the WHO and Ebola-infected countries want us to provide vaccines, that's no problem, and we welcome orders," Clive said arrogantly. ”

Xiao Chu said: "The price of NL's vaccine is 200 meters for one dose, while normal people need three doses of vaccine to avoid infection, which is 600 meters for dollars. Not many African countries can afford this price, and even the WHO does not have the financial resources to cover it. At present, the WHO has spent 1 billion meters on Ebola protection, isolation, treatment and other expenses, and now it is also shy of money. ”
