Part 3: Rising Africa Section 29 Rand Virus
"Got it." Tiana shouted in the on-board laboratory, the person who set up this on-board lab is an angel, without him, the results would not have been so early, and now time is life, which is equivalent to saving many people's lives.
Rand virus, also known as rand disease hyperfever virus, is one of the most lethal viruses ever discovered, appearing in the United States of America in 2949, and its name comes from the Rand River, a river in the United States of America. The virus is mainly transmitted through blood and body fluids, the incubation period ranges from five days to 4 weeks, the patient has a high fever that does not go away, the muscles of the body are unbearable, the surface of the body appears speckled ulcers, and finally its heart, liver and other internal organs will erode into semi-liquid, high fever and bleeding to death, at that time the Rand River Basin was polluted by local chemical companies and the first outbreak of the Rand River Basin took nearly 1,000 lives, and finally found effective treatment and vaccination to control the spread of the virus.
Lei Dong looked at the information on the computer, "You mean that it is possible for a multinational group to set up a chemical company in Chad, and then be contaminated by the local chemical company and spread the virus?" ”
Tiana asked curiously, "Mr. Lei Dong, why are your people not sick and infected, is it because you got some news in advance, or are you the one who started a chemical company in this multinational group?" ”
On the surface, it seems that Lei Dong is suspected of this, and Lei Dong is not angry, "My people don't drink the water in the ground, we only drink the water in the sky, and we have to go through many processes such as disinfection." ”
The sand pit is a great way for the people of Areshan to get water. They first dug large pits in the sand, spread oil-soaked special parchment paper in the pits at sunset, and pressed the sand around them, so that the dew could be collected on the parchment covered with dew the next morning. This is because the sand cools down quickly during the night, and the space enclosed by the parchment and parchment also cools down, and the dew condenses on the paper, forming valuable clean water. Now, the people of Diareshan have changed their parchment paper to plastic film. The water catchment rate is greatly improved.
Originally, Messad's caravans continued to use this method in the arid desert, but when the water source was available in the oasis, in order to ensure that the horses and camels used a large amount of water, they directly used the drinking water of the oasis, and the thunderous people were strictly disciplined, and regarded the desert water as a basic daily training, even in the oasis did not directly draw drink. Just use it to fill the car with water.
Mesad, who understood it, reluctantly regretted it, and invited everyone who had been busy all night to breakfast, and served Tiana coffee, because Divibins had secretly reported last night. In Ethiopia, coffee trees are planted next to almost every house, and coffee is a common thing for them to drink. There is not a day going by Ethiopians who don't drink coffee, and they drink coffee like every meal we eat, even in the ancient Kakalo royal family.
After a night of filming, Mangla Star, who also needed coffee to refresh herself, asked after taking a sip of fragrant coffee, "The World Health Organization is only a specialized agency under the United Nations, and the Africa office has not been very efficient. I'm afraid of delaying the report, so I want to send the report back to the Atlanta headquarters right away, and if they don't broadcast it, I'll give it to Silas. ”
"Please forgive me for being the go-to guy when the data came out just now. I emailed my supervisor, Professor Herb, and the World Health Organization. After Tiana finished saying this, she said with sincere admiration, "This laboratory is really amazing, may I ask which scholar designed it, can you ask where he is?" I would like to say thank you in person. He is an angel to the people of Africa. ”
"He's in Bamako now, and he worked as an elementary school teacher for a few days a while ago. These days he should be waiting for the opening of the Bamako car 4S store, he is the majority shareholder, he is going to cut the ribbon. ”
"What? Such a professional talent goes to business, and you, as his friends, don't dissuade you, are you the legendary fox friends and dog friends? Tiana was indignant that there was one more copper-smelling businessman and one less scientist in the world.
Bai Baojun said disdainfully, "Other people's world and choosing outsiders are not qualified to judge, even if they are friends, now we need to find the source of pollution, buy time for international rescue, and how much the current government of Chad can help with the war-torn Chadian is really hard to say now." Bai Baojun has a lot of respect for Song Chutian, and he has always admired his foresight and development, and his own group has its own tasks, which outsiders can't understand and guess, so he couldn't help but say a few words.
Lei Dong directly ignored Tiana, who wanted to grab Bai, "The people of the Kakaro clan and the Leyshan caravan mark the route, so that the range is a little smaller, and then send the people out in a radial pattern, and find out the chemical company for me." ”
Tiana asked, "So what are we going to do?" ”
Lei Dong said, "You and your mentor and the World Health Organization continue to contact, Manla and the media contact, Leopard and Xiaobai contact our people in Africa to prepare for emergencies, Zhang Nanjiang will check the people in the convoy to learn medical rescue knowledge." ”
Everyone nodded and acted separately, Tiana was originally hungry when she stood up to leave, but when she saw Lei Dong leisurely picking up the teacup, she asked, "Everyone assigned the task just now, but one person was missed, what do you need to do?" ”
"Really? My task is to inspect and supervise you in completing these tasks, and most of the time I am thinking about a problem? Lei Dong replied very deeply.
Tiana said, "Can you ask your Excellency what is the big thing you are thinking about?" ”
Lei Dong put down the teacup, "I'm thinking about how much it costs to run a chemical company in Africa, where does the basic electricity come from, is it better to divide the shares or directly find someone to join the shares?" ”
"You are a capitalist through and through, and you have the blood and sweat of cheap workers dripping from every penny." Tiana turned around and left.
The next day, a search team led by a caravan of the mountains disappeared in the direction of the city of Abéché in Chad.
Zhang Nanjiang said a little anxiously, "There is a member of our team in the No. 19 team, with a satellite positioning system, and the system is still working, but whether it is safe cannot be guaranteed." ”
Abéché is an important city in eastern Chad and the capital of Ouadaï province. In the eastern foothills of the Vadaï Plateau. The population is close to 120,000. It has always been a trade center between Chad, Sudan and Libya, and is an important distribution center for livestock, leather, dates and other agricultural and livestock products, with a stallion farm, a veterinary center, and an airport.
Where there are people, there will be a market, and there will be enterprises, which is the direction, Lei Dong said, "Mesad took your people to ask for people, and Tiana took your people to help people, it is estimated that things are not as easy as imagined." ”
As expected, the local government refused to hand over the people without cooperation, claiming that they had killed the local residents and would be punished by law, even if the faction of Areshan where Mesad moved out had no effect, and reprimanded him, and after Tiana's brigade of cavalry appeared, his attitude eased, but he still refused to let them go. Abéché has a garrison of nearly 7,000 troops, including about 6,000 in the army, 50 in the air force, 500 in the military police, and more than 200 in the French garrison.
Lei Dong asked strangely, "Tiana, you just said that there are staff members of the World Health Organization in Abéché, did they happen to have other tasks in advance or did they already know about the staff sent by this plague?" "It's such a coincidence, I'm in contact with people here, and there are already people working here.
"I contacted them, and they promised to report the discovery of the Mississippi virus, but strangely they didn't seem to care about the source and spread of the infection, which is not scientific as a qualified medical worker." Tiana said.
The leopard said, "It's all like this, no matter how high you go, there are such a group of bureaucrats everywhere." ”
Tiana said angrily, "The previous staff was not like this, and the current money worship is too serious, Manla, you can help expose their behavior that is not in line with their own medical staff, so that the officials and masters can also be touched." ”
Bai Baojun came in and said, "There are no large-scale modern chemical companies found in Abéché, the river sewage detection is normal, those World Health Organization staff live in the veterinary center, and the joint force of the Kakalio and the Desley Mountains is full of government spies outside the station, which is a bit unusual." ”
"Tiana, do you want to find a way to verify the identity of these so-called World Health Organization staff, and then send some people to feel the situation at the airport, so that they can notice our actions, and see if they have any overreactions, and then they will understand if there is any catery inside? The troops are on alert to prevent a sneak attack by the government army, Xiaobai, you collect intelligence, what are the rebels here, and they don't come to harass such a big city, why are they so unprofessional? ”
Bai Baojun immediately reported, "Lei Shao, the Chadian rebel armed group, called the Union of Democratic Forces, once organized multiple columns and hundreds of pickup trucks to cross the border between Chad and Sudan into Chad and engage government forces. Later, the government army announced that it had won a decisive victory, destroying more than 200 enemies, and since then the domestic political situation has gradually stabilized. ”
"Where did you gather the information that you destroyed more than 200 enemies and declared a decisive victory? Is the domestic political situation gradually stabilizing? Are you confused or am I demented? Where did you get the information? Lei Dong asked suspiciously. (To be continued......)
