Chapter 14: Private Bases
The feeling of weightlessness soon disappeared and the elevator began to move downward at a uniform speed.
After about a minute, the elevator began to slow down, and soon stopped smoothly, Ye Zhenzhen estimated according to the speed and time of the elevator, and now the two of them are at least a thousand meters underground.
The elevator door opened, and a cool breeze poured into the elevator, Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but shiver, looked up at the scene outside the elevator, and instantly had a feeling of traveling to the future world.
The mirror walls around the elevator automatically retracted upward, the incandescent lights outside the elevator were a little dazzling, and a huge rotunda appeared around the two men, and the hall was filled with people in white overalls shuttling back and forth in front of rows of computer screens.
Looking up, the scattered elevators were reassembled, returning to the ground along the same path, and then looking at the surrounding sky, a circle of pure white underground floors, along the direction of the elevator, arranged vertically, extending from the center of the earth to the ground, the height is too high, the distance is too far, and there are countless floors.
"There is such a large underground building under the villa!" Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but exclaim.
Nan Jianguo was not surprised by Ye Zhenzhen's reaction, anyone who saw this underground base for the first time would be extremely surprised, compared to others, Ye Zhenzhen's reaction was already very calm.
"Uncle Nan, is this your private hospital?" Ye Zhenzhen's exclamated tone concealed a curiosity of inquiry.
"Yes, but this place is usually used for scientific research projects and as a warehouse, because the underground temperature is relatively constant, so the laboratory is built here. ”
"There are thirty or forty floors, right?" Ye Zhenzhen looked up and asked tentatively.
"There are forty-six floors, most of which are used as warehouses. ”
"It's huge. Ye Zhenzhen sincerely sighed.
"It's ok. Nan Jianguo replied that the wind was light, and the implication was that there was a bigger place than here.
Ye Zhenzhen quickly recovered from her surprised state and returned to the topic, "Uncle Nan, where is Senior Nan?"
"Follow me. ”
Nan Jianguo took Ye Zhenzhen through the hall, passing through the crowd of people in white overalls, the crowd was busy, and when they saw Nan Jianguo, some people bowed slightly, which was regarded as a greeting.
Walking to the corner of the hall, entering another small internal elevator, ascending two floors, the elevator stopped, and the two entered a small white room, where a staff member brought two sets of biosafety suits.
At the same time, the staff member pricked her arm with a tiny needle.
"Oops, it hurts! What did you inject me?" Ye Zhenzhen asked angrily.
The staff did not answer, but Nan Jianguo explained, "Ebola vaccine. ”
"Is there a vaccine against Ebola? I haven't seen any reports of a vaccine that can protect against Ebola. ”
"The vaccine is still in the laboratory research stage. ”
Ye Zhenzhen shouted in her heart, this time she was used as an experimental pig.
It seemed that seeing Ye Zhenzhen's worries and dissatisfaction, Nan Jianguo explained, "The animal experiment of the vaccine is quite safe, and it is also safe to vaccinate the experimental population on a small scale. ”
Ye Zhenzhen understood in her heart, and finally squeezed out two words, "Thank you!"
"Wearing protective clothing, the place where Zhiqiao is now is the protective standard of a biosafety level 4 laboratory. Nan Jianguo simply ordered.
There is such a P4 laboratory in China that has been built and put into use!
First surprised for a second, Ye Zhenzhen immediately reacted, this underground base looks very mysterious, the outside world has not reported anything here, it seems that it is indeed a secret base.
Previously, I had entered the P3 laboratory with Senior Nan at the Institut Pasteur in Paris, France, and Ye Zhenzhen had only seen the operating procedures of the P4 laboratory on video, although she knew the specific process, but it was the first time for the actual operation.
Seeing that Ye Zhenzhen was distracted, Nan Jianguo asked rhetorically: "Do you need help?"
"No, I can do it myself. ”
Put on the protective clothing, connect the air circulation device behind the back, everything is ready, Ye Zhenzhen looked at Nan Jianguo.
Ye Zhenzhen was surprised to find that Nan Jianguo was dressed much faster than herself, and she looked very proficient at first glance, but she didn't expect that Nan Jianguo, as a businessman, would have so much knowledge of infectious diseases, and he was worthy of being the father of Nan Dashen.
"Alright, you can go in. ”
Press the code, and the two code doors open one after the other.
Walking into the innermost room, a huge transparent plastic cover was erected in the center of the room, and on the hospital bed in the plastic cover, Nan Zhiqiao was lying quietly.
Running two steps quickly, standing in front of the plastic cover, Ye Zhenzhen's head was next to the plastic cover through the protective clothing, looking at Nan Zhiqiao who was haggard on the hospital bed, Ye Zhenzhen's tears couldn't stop flowing.
Nan Zhiqiao was lying on the hospital bed in the plastic cover, dying, with various tubes and instrument wires inserted in his body, and the exposed skin was covered with a morbilly-like maculopapular rash, dense, and his originally handsome face was crowded with rashes, unrecognizable, and there were undried blood stains at the corners of his mouth, which was a sign of just vomiting blood.
Nan Jianguo also stepped forward, looked at his son on the hospital bed, and was silent with a painful heart.
After crying for a while, Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but feel sad, now Senior Nan is the most in need of help, and I must be strong first.
Encouraging herself in her heart, Ye Zhenzhen stabilized her mood and asked Nan Jianguo beside her, "Uncle Nan, what do you need me to do?"
"There is a dedicated medical team to carry out the treatment, and you only need to be responsible for talking to Joe and awakening his will to live. Then he pointed to a small bookshelf next to the room and continued, "There are all the books that Zhiqiao liked to read when he was a child, you can read them to him." ”
"Okay, I can do that. ”
Ye Zhenzhen happily agreed.
Nan Jianguo then said, "Outside the quarantine area, a room has been specially prepared for you, if you are tired, you can go there to rest." ”
"Can I stay here? ”
Nan Jianguo was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Ye Zhenzhen to have such a request.
Although he was very moved, Nan Jianguo still decisively refused, "No, there is still a certain risk of infection when living here, and it is not convenient to live here, you can stay here for a while longer, and when you rest at night, you still have to go back to the room prepared for you." ”
"Oh. Ye Zhenzhen was slightly disappointed, but Nan Jianguo's reason was also reasonable, and Ye Zhenzhen couldn't refute it.
"If you have other requirements, you can tell me, I have also arranged an assistant for you - May, she will wait for you outside your room, when I leave, you can find her if you have anything. ”
And assistants!
Ye Zhenzhen nodded, and immediately made a request, "Uncle Nan, in the bachelor apartment where Senior Nan lives, there is a row of bookshelves, and there are travelogues about Africa on the shelves, Senior Nan likes those books very much, can you help me bring them over?"
