In the villa on the outskirts of the capital, Lin Wenzhou and Ling Shuanghua listened carefully to the past events of Bayi.

The old principal Xu Jiaojiao closed her eyes and continued to recall: "I heard Zhao Fenglian, the dean of the School of Medicine, said that the virus brought by Africa is very transmitted, after the death of the construction engineer, several medical staff who participated in the treatment at that time also began to have red rashes due to the lack of protective measures, and soon the strange disease spread throughout the hospital, this disease is extremely fatal, and it is generally incubated for two or three days after infection, and then the disease develops, and basically does not live for a week after the onset of the disease......

Xu Jiaojiao's voice was very soft, and there was no blood on her face, obviously recalling that past still made her shudder a little, Lin Wenzhou and Ling Shuanghua glanced at each other, and they both read a trace of fear in each other's eyes, this is the instinct of human beings in the face of an unknown deadly virus.

Xu Jiaojiao finally sighed: "Therefore, at the end of October '80, the hospital saw that the situation was in great danger of getting out of control, and under the coordination of the municipal axe, they found our medical school, hoping that the medical school would send an infectious disease expert and professor Gu Tianyu to participate in this battle against the virus...... Lao Gu was the number one expert in the research and development of virus serum in China at that time......"

Ling Shuanghua couldn't help but say, "This is too dangerous, isn't it?" ”

Xu Jiaojiao nodded and said, "That's right, but Professor Gu still went, he only said one reason, because he is a doctor, how can he retreat in the face of a terrible disease?" At that time, he brought three volunteer students to the scene, and together with medical experts from other places, participated in this desperate struggle against the virus, and finally two months later, they successfully refined the antiviral serum and firmly controlled the epidemic, but the story has just begun......

Lin Wenzhou and Ling Shuanghua both sat up straight when they heard this, their expressions very serious.

Xu Jiaojiao's old voice slowly continued to recall: "Just now these things are simply to tell the two of you the background, they all happened before January 18, as a member of the party group, I already knew some sporadic things, I remember that after New Year's Day, after completing the antiviral serum, Gu Tianyu came back with three students, and the school also discussed at that time to give Professor Gu and the three students a secret commendation, why do you want to keep it secret because the municipal axe has already issued a document, asking for this matter to be suppressed, and it is strictly forbidden to spread it, so as not to cause panic in society. ”

Lin Wenzhou nodded in understanding, he could fully imagine how much social turmoil it would cause if the news leaked out, and infectious diseases have always been one of the terrible factors affecting social stability.

Moreover, at the beginning of '81, the domestic political situation was also very complicated, and indeed no one dared to make trouble at this time.

Xu Jiaojiao took a sip of water slowly and continued: "However, the four of them refused the commendation, as soon as they returned to school, they locked themselves in a laboratory of the medical school as soon as they returned to school, and no one came into contact with them, because Professor Gu said that the incubation period of the virus had not yet passed, so the four of them decided to self-isolate and continue to observe, just in case they spread the virus to other students...... In fact, they didn't want to go back to school at first, and wanted to stay in that research group to continue research, but the leaders felt that the limelight had passed and the virus had been suppressed, so they decided to disband, and they had no choice. ”

Lin Wenzhou also sighed in his heart, this Gu Tianyu is really a person with a strong sense of responsibility, and this kind of professional ethics and lofty quality are indeed worthy of appreciation.

Xu Jiaojiao changed her tone and continued: "Then on the eighteenth day, something happened...... Okay, let's go back to that emergency party group meeting, Lao Zhao cried and told us that Gu Tianyu and the four of them all began to have red rashes, and they were about to die......

Lin Wenzhou also felt that his heart sank to the bottom when he heard this, and he immediately said, "Isn't there an antiviral serum?" ”

Xu Jiaojiao said with a hint of sadness: "I also asked at the party group meeting at the time, Lao Zhao told us with a sad face, Gu Tianyu told him through the walkie-talkie that the virus in one of the four of them had mutated, and the original antiviral serum no longer worked, and the other three were also infected with the new virus ......"

Ling Shuanghua's face turned a little pale when she heard this, and she muttered, "It's okay to isolate ......"

Xu Jiaojiao nodded and said, "Indeed, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable, this is a university!" ”

Even after more than 30 years, she still paused with some palpitations, and rested for a while before continuing: "Because Professor Gu locked himself in a laboratory, Professor Gu asked Lao Zhao to bring a message to our party group, strongly asking the party group to permanently close the laboratory and never open it to let the virus spread, and he also said that he is very grateful for the cultivation and care of the party organization all the time, but regrets that he can't continue to serve the party and the country......

Hearing this, Lin Wenzhou was also a little moved, but Ling Shuanghua was still the same, with an indifferent face.

There was also a trace of choked in Xu Jiaojiao's voice, which showed that even after a long time, she was still quite emotional when she recalled Professor Gu's sacrifice, and she continued in a choked voice: "At that time, the whole party group of us cried...... Especially Principal Gu, who has the best relationship with Lao Gu, I think his whole person is about to collapse. ”

Lin Wenzhou is also gloomy, the battle against this terrible virus, sacrifice is inevitable, I remember the [***] a few years ago, which also made many medical staff sacrifice.

Xu Jiaojiao said with a little choked up: "In the end, our party group meeting discussed and decided to respect the wishes of Gu Tianyu and the three students, and permanently close the medical laboratory, and at the same time, in order not to cause panic among the students, we forced this matter down...... The three students were all treated as missing, and the matter of their trip to support the Cheongju City First People's Hospital was also highly classified...... At about 11 o'clock in the evening of January 18, Professor Gu Tianyu died, and I heard Lao Zhao say that his expression was very peaceful and satisfied when he left, in his words, he lived up to the world in this life. ”

Xu Jiaojiao's mood stabilized a little and said: "Later, we reported the matter to the municipal party committee and municipal axe, and the leaders decided to secretly recognize the four people as revolutionary martyrs, and for their families, the municipal axe took the lead in giving special care...... In the end, the seven members of our party group unanimously decided to name Professor Gu's sacrifice as the 118 Incident. ”

Lin Wenzhou suddenly realized, it turned out that this was the 118 incident.

However, he immediately thought of a serious question and said, "Is there a variant of the virus in the hospital?" ”

Xu Jiaojiao shook her head and said: "Fortunately in misfortune, I heard from the municipal axe, there seems to be no transmission of virus variants over there, in short, an epidemic was extinguished in time, and it is precisely because of the antiviral serum developed by Gu Tianyu himself that the lives of a large number of medical staff have been saved." ”

Ling Shuanghua said in a loud voice: "Then speaking of which, the ...... of that knowledge building"

Xu Jiaojiao nodded and said: "That's right, you probably guessed that our school can't publicly commend them, so everyone decided to build this building, just to commemorate Gu Tianyu and those three students, to express our school's respect for them, and hope that future generations will never forget their sacrifices, their sacrifices are worth it, and they have saved thousands of lives." ”

After listening to Xu Jiaojiao's narration, Lin Wenzhou was also excited, it turned out that behind the knowledge building was such a secret, no wonder Qi Yueyi sighed that the building was built like a monument or a tomb.

Lin Wenzhou couldn't help but ask, "So, where is the laboratory where Professor Gu and the four of them locked themselves in?" ”

Xu Jiaojiao said: "Oh, I don't know the specifics, I remember that I also asked how to deal with the laboratory at that time?" Lao Zhao replied that it was on the top floor of the medical building, but he reassured us that the virus cannot be transmitted through the air, it is mainly contact infection, but the chance of contact infection is much higher than that of ordinary viruses, reaching the point of indirect contact infection, I will give you an example, suppose I have a virus, I have touched this cup just now, if you two touch it again, there is a great chance of being infected......"

Lin Wenzhou thought for a while and said, "Oh, but no matter how powerful the virus is, there is always a survival time outside the human body......"

Xu Jiaojiao said: "That's right, so Lao Zhao also said that as long as the laboratory is closed and no one enters it, it will be completely safe after a while." ”

Lin Wenzhou nodded and stopped talking, but fell into deep thought, he always felt as if something was wrong.

Xu Jiaojiao added: "Of course, our school will not be brutal, after Professor Gu and those three classmates sacrificed, our school and the municipal axe, as well as the experts sent by the hospital to discuss how to deal with their bodies, the specific person in charge of our school is Vice President Gu Jingcheng, they formed a special team to be responsible for the operation of this matter, how they dealt with it in the end, I really don't know, because this is highly confidential, the only thing I am sure of is that it was not long after that incident, The school officially started the construction of the Knowledge Building, which is very efficient. ”

Suddenly, Ling Shuanghua interjected: "Old principal, then, 'non-existent classroom' ......"

Xu Jiaojiao said with a wry smile: "Honestly, I really don't know." ”

Seeing the disappointment on the faces of the two young people, the old principal paused, and said seriously: "I also know what the students found out in the next few years, and even I guessed the inextricable relationship with the Seeking Knowledge Building back then, but to tell you, each of our principals has received some confidential care from the previous one and the city leaders, including this, my predecessor Lao Zhao and the mayor at the time talked to me together, and they told me solemnly that no student should be allowed to investigate this." The classroom that does not exist', as soon as it is discovered, it will be strangled in the cradle, at all costs! (To be continued.) )
