Chapter 70: The Boss Allies Have a Dispute, and Have a Chance to Be Free!
At 2 p.m. on June 2, 1981, after I, Uncle Liao, Brother Wen Wu and Brother Xiande returned to Pluto Science City from the farm barracks, we took the research room of the central scientific research base to work.
Shortly after we got to work, Dr. Wakchi called the four of us to Pasteur's boss's office for a conversation.
Pasteur said, "Byron! You guys did a great job on the farm! Our troubles are finally lifted! There is a stipulation on it, in the future, we can't use our own people for human trials! In the future, we will carry out biochemical virus development and research in accordance with international practice! Now, we are a peaceful non-governmental scientific research unit for the benefit of mankind! β
I said, "Yes! That's what we should have done! Pasteur Boss! Do you mean that you are ready to set us free and go home to our families?! β
Pasteur laughed and said, "O Byron! You are so naΓ―ve! I'm just as hostage here as you are! We may also be able to help them continue to develop new products! Otherwise, they wouldn't have brought us back to the free world! β
I said, "Oh! DIDN'T WE ALREADY HELP THEM DEVELOP THREE DOOMSDAY VIRUSES, SUCH AS ENDVIRUS 1NO, ENDVIRUS 2NO, AND ENDVIRUS 3NO?! What else do they want us to do?! β
Pasteur laughed and said, "Alas! It's because of these three viruses! The Allies are indeed ready to order these three viruses from us! However, they have put forward a demanding requirement for us, we must develop vaccines and antiviral drugs for these three viruses! They are willing to place an order with us! By that time, perhaps, I should retire! At that time, I can take the four of you as my personal staff and take you out of here to enjoy your freedom in the outside world! β
I said, "Great! Pasteur Boss! When are they asking us to develop these vaccines and antiviral drugs?! β
"Now," said Pasteur, "they want to be good friends with their old enemies!" Therefore, they did not stipulate our development time! However, you should hurry up and develop it! I'm over 60 now, and I want to live a few more years in the free world! β
I said, "Good! Sparta Boss! In the development of vaccines and antiviral drugs for three new viruses! We already have a clear idea of development! If you equip us with enough R&D strength, we will be able to develop them all within a year! β
Sparta laughed and said, "Byron! I will support you according to your budget! Hopefully, we will soon be free! β
After the conversation, the four of us went back to the office of the laboratory to make R&D plans and budgets!
After that, our R&D team of more than 100 people conducted non-stop scientific experiments day and night, as well as repeated development and clinical trials of vaccines and antiviral drugs!
......
AT THE BEGINNING OF JUNE 1982, OUR R&D TEAM SUCCESSFULLY DEVELOPED VACCINES AND ANTIVIRAL DRUGS FOR THREE APOCALYPTIC VIRUSES, INCLUDING ENDVIRUS 1NO, ENDVIRUS 2NO, AND ENDVIRUS 3NO!
The technical indicators of vaccines and antiviral drugs have fully met the application standards of the international health and medical community and allied forces.
In addition, these vaccines and antiviral drugs have been manufactured and finalized, and the "Scientific Development Report" has been formed, and batch samples of vaccines and antiviral drugs have been backed up and sealed.
......
At 9 a.m. on June 8, 1982, in the lecture hall of our headquarters building in Pluto, we received a delegation of Allied procurement who had come here to learn about our achievements in the development of new viruses, new vaccines, new drugs, etc.
The head of the Allied procurement mission was General Vasiyev, a Nordic soldier in his forties.
First of all, I, Uncle Liao, Brother Wen Wu and Brother Xiande, as well as Director Pasteur, Dr. Wakchi and other headquarters personnel, accompanied the purchasing delegation to visit our various laboratories and biochemical production workshops.
Finally, in the lecture hall of the Pluto headquarters building, we introduced to the members of the purchasing delegation through a computer projector the development process, experimental and clinical indicators of new viruses, new vaccines, new drugs, and various clinical indicators, and the results that have been applied.
After listening to my presentation, the delegation had a discussion on cooperation and business.
General Vasiyev said: "Thank you very much for the wonderful presentation of the great young scientists! I think these new viruses are indeed invincible weapons of doom! And your development of vaccines and antiviral drugs can keep our troops and people in a very safe state, so this is a very perfect combination of biochemical products! Our military is very interested in these products! Chairman of the Board of Pasteurs! How are you going to work with us? We want to buy these viruses, medicines and vaccines in a basket! Make an offer first! β
Pasteur smiled and said, "Oh! Thank you General Vasiyev for his straightforward and generous hostess! We only provide products, not technical cooperation! The products are carried out according to the international market price! The equivalent of a single laboratory use of a virus sample is $20 million! Three viruses are $60 million! We will give you as much as you buy! In terms of medicines, the cost of a course of treatment for a person infected with the virus is $2,000, while the vaccine is $5,000 per serving! We can supply you in unlimited quantities! β
As soon as Pasteur's words fell, Vasiyev immediately slapped the table hard!
Vasiyev said angrily: "Alas! I hate you merchants! You're always so mercenary! If we use this virus, we have to conduct 1,500 tests a year, won't we have to pay you 270 billion virus samples every year?! We have 15 million active-duty military personnel in the Allied series, and we're going to pay you $7.5 million a year for the vaccine alone! You have nearly 40 new drugs, and we will supply the troops with a course of treatment for $120 million! We now protect 1.5 billion people, and we don't have to pay $1.275 billion for a course of treatment! Do you want us to start a war to occupy this place, so that you can hand over to us the technical solutions and samples of these viruses, vaccines and drugs for free?! β
Pasteur smiled and said, "The general is angry! You should know that our development costs are very high, and we are at great risk of being killed by a virus! Our quotations are quoted in accordance with international rules and levels! If, you guys feel that there is a problem with this offer! You can come up with your ideas and solutions! Of course, if the price is right, we can also talk about technology transfer, and the cooperation in the production of these viruses, vaccines and drugs! β
Vasiyev said: "Okay! When we get back, we'll report the situation here to Allied headquarters! I think they should be better at settling accounts than I am! You should know that you are also under our protection, so you can live to this day! You should think about how you can contribute more to our free world! No matter how much money you make, God won't let you take it! Now, it's time for you businessmen to wake up! β
After this unpleasant discussion, Pasteur and the others sent Vasiyev and other members of the delegation to the headquarters city airport.
There they were, on their dedicated flight, back to Allied headquarters in North America.
......
After the meeting, the four of us also drove our jeep back to our villa for lunch.
After lunch, the four of us had coffee and chatted in the living room.
Uncle Liao smiled and said, "Lone Dragon! Judging by the atmosphere of negotiations between the Pluto Institute and the Allied procurement group today! The Allies may soon send agents and troops to blockade and occupy Pluto Science City! If something like this happens, we should take advantage of the chaos to get out of here! Otherwise, we will fall into the hands of the Allies, and this life will really be over! β
I said, "Yes! Vasiev: They clearly don't want to pay Pasteur! Let's get ready to escape! However, we must bring technical information and samples of the viruses, vaccines and drugs we have developed! But we must master Vasiev their dynamics! We must not betray Pasteur them! Otherwise, even if we leave here, the members of their organization won't let us find peace! β
Brother Wenwu said: "Yes! Pasteur: They are obviously inferior to the military! However, both of them are more than enough to deal with us! We must hide our opinions, everything can only be pushed with the water! β
I said, "Okay! Let's wait for our chance! As long as they can't do business! We have a chance! β
Brother Xiande smiled and said, "Understood! In the end, the military will definitely grab things and people! In this way, after we escaped, the Pasteur boss could only tell the military that we were poisoned by the virus! Right?! Dear colleagues, β
Everyone laughed!
I said, "Don't be busy laughing, everybody! Wait, let's go to the laboratory to prepare a set of experimental samples for viruses, drugs and vaccines in accordance with the first-level biochemical protection and confidentiality regulations! Then we will receive all our research reports, experimental data, technical documents such as product development and trading plans of the institute! I have these things, and in the future, we will have the capital to save our lives and develop! β
Then, the four of us returned to the central scientific research base, our research room, and began to prepare samples and collect data!
......
At 9 p.m., we moved three sample boxes containing viruses, medicines, and vaccines, and a data lockbox back to our villa.
We stored these things in the basement of the villa.
Actually, all four of us have been vaccinated against three new viruses, and we don't worry about being infected by these deadly viruses! The reason why we carry out first-level leakage protection for viruses is mainly because we are worried that these leaks will cause social plagues and infectious disease disasters!
