44. Overseas viruses
For Gu Yi's parents, they are really afraid of something.
The two of them have been honest all their lives, and they have never done anything to be sorry for others. However, in the matter of Cui Bailu and Gu Yi's marriage and love, they especially felt sorry for others, and they were always uneasy in their hearts, which was more uncomfortable than doing things lacking morality. However, the two of them couldn't convince Gu Yi. Gu Yi is particularly screwed in this matter.
When Cui Lan knocked on the door of Gu Yi's house, Gu Yi's parents were ashamed and had an out-and-out faceless expression. On the contrary, Cui Lan took the initiative to step forward and clasped Gu Yi's father's hand with both hands. made Gu Yi's father, with his head down, he would only say that: "Shame, shame!"
In fact, they don't know that all talented people are vain and tolerant. Cui Lan lived overseas with her father when she was a child, and was deeply influenced by Western culture. The relationship between men and women is a matter for young people themselves, and parents rarely interfere. What's more, Cui Lan has also been in love for a long time, how could she not know the crux of this.
Cui Lan was also born in a bitter background in her early years, and when she was a teenager, she worked hard in the United States with her father, set up a stall, worked as a helper, and was chased by people from the immigration bureau. After so many years of hard work in the business world, he has read countless people, and he has long been accustomed to the mask life. Therefore, when he faced the simple expressions of Gu Yi's parents, he had an indescribable sense of intimacy. This is the true feeling of human nature that he has not seen for a long time.
The general manager of the enterprise group who accompanied President Cui to visit almost dropped his jaw when he heard the few conversations between the two families in front of him. He always thought that Gu Yi was just an ordinary department manager in the Weak Water Group. At that time, I was looking for him, but I just wanted to draw a thread through Gu Yi. But he never thought that this kid almost became President Cui's only son-in-law, and he was unwilling to dump other people's daughters.
The general manager saw that Cui Lan was so good to Gu Yi, and he was really impressed and puzzled. If you dare to dump my daughter, what a big hatred it is in the country! But seeing that President Cui, who is still a human being, can he actually visit his parents in person, talk to each other, regardless of past suspicions? Is this still a human being? This is God!
Originally, the general manager had already set up a banquet at noon, but Cui Lan still insisted on eating at Gu Yi's house. The general manager looked at them like family, chatting about family life, and having a good time with each other, so he left first. Before leaving, President Cui was invited to give a lecture to the executives of the enterprise group.
Now that cooperation is planned, unity of thought is also important. Therefore, Cui Lan agreed.
Cui Lan proposed to Gu Yi's parents that he wanted Gu Yi to work abroad for a period of time, and he wanted to train Gu Yi to be his successor. However, Gu Yi refused.
The last time he dealt with the two financial fraud cases for Cui Lan, he went abroad twice, although he could travel back and forth from the universe since he was a child, but after all, his abilities could not be revealed casually. In life, if he wants to act in front of people, he must act like a normal person.
It's not that Gu Yi doesn't want to go abroad, but Ye Yiping is about to give birth. At this time, he was still running around, so irresponsible. In addition, he was also worried about the old monk's side, if Tang Feng had a breakthrough on the Heavenly Bead, he would probably have to help them transport those puppets. If, those remnants on Zhongnan Mountain, there are also those who want to go back early, he may also send them over.
However, a person with a title like Wu Shichen probably still wants to wait for Gu Yi to return to the four-dimensional time and space before getting them back. It's up to them to have their own opinions. After all, the return of the small universe to the four-dimensional world is a large-scale group smuggling, and people with knighthoods may not be willing.
It's just that Gu Yi's parents didn't know all this, and when they saw Gu Yi's refusal, they showed a very anxious look. It seems that they are very willing to let Gu Yi work abroad.
In fact, Gu Yi went abroad and stayed away from his family, which was a kind of spiritual torment for his parents. However, the older generation of Chinese parents is always accustomed to thinking from the perspective of their children, and their son's career and future are more important than themselves. As a secular parent, having this mode of thinking deeply touched Gu Yi!
Cui Lan saw that Gu Yi was reluctant to work abroad, and she was not reluctant. However, there was one thing he had to help. That's one of Cui Lan's most recent philanthropic projects in Africa: overcoming the new coronavirus that is spreading there.
If this new virus is not contained, it is likely to spread around the world. Because it has a long incubation period, rapid contagion, and a high mortality rate. Cui Lan is also anxious because the virus has affected his project, and the local government has halted the project because of the virulent virus.
Whether as an ambassador of the charity fund or an employee of the Weak Water Group, Gu Yi is obliged. In fact, Cui Lan's work positioning for Gu Yi is very clear, in addition to the research and development of the Exploration of Life Fund project, he is only responsible for resolving the company's risks in times of crisis.
There is now a delicate relationship between Gu Yi and Cui Lan and Cui Bailu, which is beyond the employment relationship, but not exactly friendship, because there seems to be a little family affection mixed in there.
Gu Yi immediately agreed. However, he hoped to give Cui Lan a little time, and after Ye Yiping finished giving birth, he would set off immediately.
After Cui Lan left, Gu Yi's parents felt very relaxed. Because, Cui Lan's arrival finally untied the knot in the hearts of the two of them. Gu Yi's mother also specially asked Cui Lan to bring Cui Bailu a Shu embroidered shawl that she embroidered by herself.
Shu embroidery, one of the four famous embroideries in China, is almost lost. Gu Yi's mother also participated in the local Shu embroidery class, and under the guidance of the famous teacher, she learned it seriously. Although this Shu embroidery is not precious, it was embroidered by her own hands.
In the past few days at home, Gu Yi took the time to go to Liu Po's house several times. However, he did not see Liu Po.
Liu Po was not at home, and the third uncle said that she had gone far away, and she had just set off. Gu Yi regretted it a little at this time, and didn't make an appointment to say hello to her in advance. He didn't expect that she would also go far away.
It seems that Liu Po is definitely not an idler, and must have her own mission. He was a little skeptical that Liu Po was guarding the barbarians in the three-dimensional world. After all, there are quite a few barbarians who have also come.
Do these barbarians also need to be trained in the three-dimensional world like the royal people? Or do they have another mission here? Gu Yi realized at this time that his concern and understanding of the barbarians was far from enough. He only cared about Ah Die before, and he knew very little about the real mission and survival state of the barbarians.
Since he came into the mortal world, everything he has passed here has had a great impact on Gu Yi, especially the complex emotions between people.
In the world, the love of parents, teachers and students, classmates, mentors and apprentices, friends, and the love between men and women, all of them have a great impact on his outlook on life. It's a whole new kind of awareness and experience. Although four-dimensional people are no different from three-dimensional people in love, the love between men and women in the mortal world is more delicate and complex. For example, Tang Yijing, there is also love in friendship, otherwise, it would be impossible for her to easily agree to Ziyun's request for borrowing. The cooperation of the soul like borrowing the body must have a strong sincere will of both parties.
Gu Yi has a feeling that if the four-dimensional space-time is like a thick book, then the three-dimensional space-time is only one page in it. And when you really integrate into this page, then this page shows him a whole volume of life that is another full volume of delicate life.
Gu Yi has only just read a small part of this page, and there are many life scenes waiting for him to experience reading.
returned to the capital, Gu Yi and Ye Yiping hugged each other and cried, immersed in a kind of nostalgia for Xiao Biesheng's newlywed. Gu Yi briefly explained the trip to Mount Emei and the cooperation with the weak water group enterprises to Ye Yiping. However, he didn't say too much to the puppeteers, it was a miserable crowd, he was afraid that it would affect Ye Yiping's mood, and he was also afraid of their children's health.
Conceived in October and delivered in one day. During this period, Gu Yi has been playing the role of a good husband at home. Mother Ye also often came to disturb them, sending chicken soup for a while and fruit for a while. made Ye Yiping a little fat. Later, Gu Yi told his mother-in-law that if this continues, when Ye Yiping gives birth to a child, she will have to suffer, the child is too big and will have a difficult birth. This frightened her so much that she stopped giving Ye Yiping food.
Ye Yiping's production is going well. Under the personal protection of Gu Yi and the careful care of the two mothers, a beautiful little princess was born.
It was a full moon that looked a lot like Adie's daughter. The suspicious look at him made Gu Yi deeply believe that his daughter was his lover in his last life.
After settling down with the family, it was time for Gu Yi to set off.
Cui Lan asked Gu Yi to go to a region in Africa, which was a place called Benue. It is located in the equatorial tropics, the natural conditions are not very good, and there is a river that flows into the Atlantic Ocean, called the Benue River. With this river as the center, the disease is distributed in an axial river area, covering most of the country's area and affecting people in nearly 10,000 square kilometers of land.
Cui Lan has a development project with the local government, which has been halted since the onset of the disease. At the same time, in order to support the lives of the local people, the group has also conducted a year-long study of the virus in the name of a charitable foundation, and at the same time treated the infected people, but with little success.
Because this kind of Benue virus is a virulent and highly lethal infectious virus, the incubation period is long, and it is highly contagious during the incubation period. This has made it difficult to prevent and treat the disease.
Gu Yi is not a doctor, but Cui Lan knows that Gu Yi has superpowers. If he wants to solve this crisis as soon as possible, he can only rely on Gu Yi to help resolve it.
Although Cui Lan has cooperated with the world's most advanced medical institutions and has the support of the local government, she has little to no way to start researching the virus. Because, this virus mutates too quickly. As soon as a vaccine is developed, the virus has already mutated, even in the second and third generations. This is no longer a business and economic problem, but a humanitarian catastrophe.
When Gu Yi stood in the Benue River Valley, the village in front of him was already ten rooms and nine empty. In addition to the harsh local ecological environment, patients often die fatally within 48 hours of onset.
It is really "the legacy of thousands of villages, and the ghosts of thousands of households singing".
The shocking and desolate scene made Gu Yi feel a little guilty for being late to take care of his wife and children. This could well be a time bomb that could destroy humanity and nature.
Gu Yi came to the Benue virus research laboratory and had contact and communication with the researchers there. It is a research team from many countries, which is also of the highest level in the world. Gu Yi originally thought that Cui Lan was leading, but after entering, he learned that Cui Lan was just one of the members. This is an international research institute. Benue virus can be transmitted not only from person to person, but also from person to animal, mainly primates.
The researchers also told Gu Yi that viruses are different from bacteria, bacteria are double-stranded DNA, while viruses are single-stranded RNA, which are easy to mutate, and the body does not have life characteristics, and only when it enters the host cell, it releases life characteristics, replicates and reproduces, and kills the host at the same time. The genetic code or genome of a virus is mainly concentrated on the nucleic acid strand, and any change in this nucleic acid strand will affect the performance of their offspring.
Normally, viruses mutate very slowly in nature, but this mutation process can be accelerated by the stimulation of strong external factors. The virus is within the host and can generally replicate millions of times, and only a very small number of mutations are needed to cause a pandemic.
After hearing this, Gu Yi suspected that this virus disaster was likely stimulated by a strong factor given by the outside world. So, he returned to the Benue River valley and covered the nearby half of the village with a regional bureau. He wanted to find out what was the stimulus to the virus.
Suddenly, he felt a very familiar message in the regional bureau: Liu Po. Moreover, many of these Africans also have a very familiar barbarian atmosphere.
It turned out that Liu Po had come here.
Gu Yi sat on the edge of the big river and waited. Looking at those dilapidated villages, Gu Yi wondered, what is the relationship between Liu Po and these Africans? Could it be that the barbarians have also dispersed to the world in the three-dimensional realm?
Sure enough, after a while, a very broken ox cart slowly walked towards him. Liu Po was sitting on the ox cart at a leisurely pace. There were also several lean black men and women in the car.
Liu Po looked at Gu Yi unexpectedly, and there was a melancholy look in her white eyes. Gu Yi stepped forward to greet Liu Po and asked her about the situation here.
Liu Po has been here for a while. She came here through her time and space channel before Gu Yi returned to the capital to wait for Ye Yiping.
Liu Po told Gu Yi that this area was one of the three-dimensional world gathering areas of the barbarians. There are hundreds of thousands of people, and these people have a great relationship with Gu Yi. It turned out that these barbarians who lived in harmony with the local area were the inhabitants of the valley where Gu Yi and Ah Die lived in seclusion.
No wonder there's a familiar flavor.
