Chapter Sixty-Six: Outlaw Researcher, Mail Family!
On December 18, 1979, after two years of hard study, we completed our postgraduate studies and skills development with honors, and the three of us became researchers in the same laboratory of the Pluto Medical School.
Our laboratory specializes in the research and development of new viruses, as well as new vaccines and drugs corresponding to new viruses.
The supervisor and director of our laboratory is Dr. Nikolai.
In the laboratory, I served as the assistant to the director of the laboratory and the leader of the genetic engineering group. Nguyen Van Vu is the leader of the inspection team; Lai Hin Tak is the head of the Pharmaceutical Engineering Group.
Now, all three of us have our own offices, labs, and a few assistants, among other things.
Uncle Liao is still teaching Chinese medicine, and at the same time, the school built and put into operation a Chinese medicine factory for him, and he served as the chief pharmacist in the Chinese medicine factory, so our school and Paradise Station Farm began to popularize Chinese medicine and Western medicine to prevent and cure residual viruses in the body!
During the two years we have been here, Brother Dong Jiaxing of Paradise Station Farm has been in touch with us.
Brother Dong said that now, the treatment and working environment of the Chinese people in the Paradise Station have improved, because in the past two years, there are fewer and fewer patients entering the Paradise Station, in order to ensure that there is enough labor to work on the farm, the management and medical personnel have strengthened their Western medicine treatment and Chinese medicine conditioning, so they are healthier than before.
However, Europeans, Americans, and Africans on the farms are still very resistant to traditional Chinese medicine, and in order to avoid contact with the Chinese and them, they have been isolated and managed with those people.
......
At 9 a.m. on December 19, Director Nikolai held a meeting with all the staff of our laboratory to lay out the research plan.
Nikolai said: "Children! We currently have a total of 25 people in our new technology laboratory! Our shareholders in the Lab Institute invested nearly $100 million, and every month we were able to get $150,000 in research grants, which included your salary, and the full cost of the experiment! If, we can't develop a new virus, and a new drug, in 12 months! We're definitely going to be sent to other labs for live experiments! Then, die back on the farm! We have to work hard, or they're going to kill us! Do you understand? ”
I said, "Director Nikolai! We know our situation very well! So we don't waste time, we desperately try to make a difference before they deal with us! Give us a task! We will complete the development of new viruses and new drugs within the specified time! ”
"The new virus is a new genetic weapon, which must meet the requirements of high infection, high transmission, high lethality, and be precisely targeted and controllable," Nikolai said. Byron! Your mission is to find working gene fragments on influenza viruses, coronaviruses, and HIV viruses, and create new viruses through genetic engineering experiments! If this virus can be created, our position in this institute will be solidified! In terms of new drug development, we mainly develop targeted gene repair drugs, viral gene modification drugs, and drugs that kill residual viruses in the body for coronavirus, HIV virus, typhoid virus, tuberculosis branch baculovirus, etc., which have good affinity with human cells. As you should know, the difficulty and complexity of our research work are very high! I hope you'll be able to develop them all before they sentence us to death! Okay, I've been getting worse and worse lately, I'm going to take my medication, so go to work! ”
After the meeting, Dr. Nikolai went back to his office to take his medication and rest.
We're in our office to write the experiment plan and budget!
In fact, in the past two years, Dr. Nikolai's health has become worse and worse, because his body has residual HIV, tuberculosis branch baculovirus and other terrible viruses, therefore, his immunity has almost been lost, he often has colds and fevers for no reason, and he has many terrible skin diseases!
At the same time, his joints and nervous system began to appear to varying degrees, and his mobility has become worse and worse, and perhaps after a while, he will lose his mobility!
When we think of Dr. Nikolai, we seem to see our future, and if we don't work hard and can't develop new drugs, we will also become what he is now!
......
At 3 p.m., after the three of us had made our research plans and budgets, we had a discussion in a conference room.
Ruan Van Vu's testing team is responsible for the preparation and provision of virus strain samples required by my genetic engineering team and Lai Hin Duc's drug development team, as well as follow-up new virus infection experiments, animal infection experiments, virus toxicity tests, treatment mechanism analysis, virus mutation analysis and other viral utility determination and evaluation.
The work of the drug development team is to carry out various inhibition drugs that destroy viral replication, adjuvant therapeutic drugs such as preventing immune system overreaction and damage to the virus designated by Dr. Nikolai, drugs that directly kill residual viruses in the human body, genetic mutation attenuation and disinfection of viroids, targeted antiviral gene drugs, targeted gene repair drugs that repair cells that lose genes of viruses, and antiviral vaccines.
Therefore, everyone's workload is very heavy, we only have seven team members in each group, one team leader and six trial researchers, and we have to work in three shifts in order to produce results quickly, so that we can complete the first phase of the trial task in half a year.
Then, in half a year, we locked and harvested the first batch of research results to avoid us being sentenced to death by the institute!
Nguyen Van Vu said: "Lone Dragon! You can rest assured! I will work closely with the needs of both of you to do a good job of supply, testing and testing for you! Alas, these devils are so inhuman! They want us to create a new virus to harm mankind, through this method to eliminate the population, to achieve the despicable purpose of monopolizing the world's resources, and at the same time, they are squeezing the hard-earned money of the people of the world through the sale of antiviral drugs! What a shame they have become! ”
Li Xiande said: "Alas! This is the Devil's Cave! Let's leave the devil alone! Let's hurry up and start the research and development of new viruses and drugs tomorrow! Otherwise, we won't survive! ”
I said, "Alas! We're swaying back and forth behind the door of the hell! Now, let's not have any thought worries! Let's get through the difficulties in front of you first! ”
After the meeting of the middle-level cadres, we held a meeting of all the staff of the laboratory.
Because Dr. Nikolai was not in good health, he did not attend this meeting, which I chaired.
Our laboratory has an administrator, who is responsible for the collection and management of funds and materials in the laboratory; There are two storekeepers who are responsible for the management of experimental items; There are 18 experimenters who are responsible for various specific experimental operations and experimental data collection.
Of course, the team leader should also personally participate in the experiment and arrange and guide the work of other experimenters!
These lab operators are all transferred from other closed labs, they are all skilled workers, and they are all masters of doing biochemical experiments!
Here, everyone is called and numbered, and the numbers are printed on their uniforms, so we don't need to remember their names, or even their ages and genders!
Because, everything here is temporary, and no one knows when?! Who won't see it?!
At the meeting, I assigned research tasks, work plans, division of labor, materials and funding arrangements.
After everyone applauded and agreed, the meeting was dismissed!
Then, everyone went about their work and got ready to work!
Our laboratory has a construction area of more than 2,000 square meters and three independent 4P biological laboratories, which are all conducted under highly dust-free and sterile, as well as highly negative pressure isolation and protective conditions!
And the most advanced experimental equipment is installed, as well as facilities and equipment!
Therefore, the cost of running here is very high!
These costs are directly covered by the property management company of the institute, and we only need to manage our own funds!
At the same time, our laboratory also has office area, canteen, temporary overtime dormitory, animal experiment and observation room, human experiment and observation room, patient isolation observation room, etc.!
Really, this is a demon cave that makes people cold-blooded and extremely melancholy!
And just like that, our urgent and painstaking research work began!
......
After the experiment began, all three of us moved from the dormitory to the research room.
In this way, we can manage and conduct our scientific experiments and research twenty-four hours a day.
During the day, we usually consult with Dr. Nikolai about the experimental plan and evaluate the results of the experiment.
Dr. Nikolai is a very experienced biologist, and he heard that he was the first to isolate AIDS and other viruses that infect humans from poisonous African monkeys, and successfully genetically modified these viruses so that these viruses can parasitize, replicate and infect humans in humans! I heard that he also carried out the genetic modification of the virulence of these viruses! Moreover, in the absence of vaccines and antiviral drugs, he himself did experiments on live infection of these viruses!
Therefore, Dr. Nikolai's body is the most difficult to heal! However, his scientific experience is really important to us!
Really, with Dr. Nikolai's guidance and help, the three of us are really much more at ease!
In the evenings, we are generally in the office; is on duty, waiting for the report and consultation of the experimenter on the night shift.
When we have nothing to do, we usually read books and think in the office.
Sometimes, of course, we also write research ideas and papers on our office computers.
Since I am the assistant director of the laboratory, my computer is equipped with a computer Internet that can be used to communicate with the Pluto Medical School and Research Institute.
This is because the work plan and budget of our laboratory, as well as the material application report, are sent to the management department of the university and the research institute through the Internet.
This Internet is connected to the Internet through a gateway, and we cannot communicate with the Internet through the gateway without authorization.
However, when I was a student at the University of International Liaison in Hong Kong City, I specialized in network communication programming technology!
Therefore, it took us a few nights to obtain and crack the authorization file of this webmaster!
Soon, I will be able to log in to the Internet directly on my desktop computer!
Of course, we didn't tell anyone about this.
Because, if others know that I did this, the school and the research institute will definitely execute me as a spy!
Therefore, I log in to the Internet through my computer in the middle of the night when no one is around.
......
At 1 a.m. on the night of December 22, I logged in via the Internet, the email address I registered on the website of the Hong Kong City Interbank Association.
This email address is the contact information I agreed with Qiao Yan, and Qiao Yan also registered her own email address on this website.
When I logged into my email, I saw that Qiao Yan sent me a lot of email messages!
The general information is written in English for me to read, and only the important information is written in Bible ciphers.
These emails were all written by Qiao Yan and me about the situation at home and asking me about my situation, so Qiao Yan wrote them in English.
The main content that Qiao Yan conveyed to me was:
At 10 p.m. on January 18, 1977, after Lee Kwok-wai and I left Hong Kong City by plane, on the morning of January 20, she and Lo Hsiu-ying received the news that Lee Kwok-wai and I were missing.
The Civil Aviation Administration announced that the plane we were flying on failed in the surveillance radar, and the plane we were on may have fallen into the deep sea of the Pacific Ocean after taking off from Guam!
However, Qiao Yan and the others believe that we are still alive.
Qiao Yan gave birth to our child on August 28, 1977, and she gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins, the boy is the elder brother and the girl is the younger sister!
In this way, I used both names, my brother's name is Jia Buwei, and my nickname is Ah Wei! My sister's name is Jia Lixian, and her nickname is Ah Xian!
They look a lot like me, very healthy, now over two years old, can talk and recognize people, they love to see my pictures very much, they know that I am their dad, they miss me so much!
Again, it's about some of my personal accounts.
After reading Qiao Yan's letter, I replied to Qiao Yan with an email, which read as follows:
Dear Qiao Yan! Dear children!
I'm a lone dragon! I'm alive! Now, this one secret research institute conducts research work!
However, I have a lot of virulent viruses in my body that can infect others!
I'm going to get rid of the virus in my body through my research before I can figure out how to get out of here.
Recently, I have seen that the price of gold has grown very fiercely!
Qiao Yan, you are going to sell all the gold spot certificates we bought at about $800 per ounce, and then use the cash to buy some high-quality international bonds on the trading platform of the Hong Kong City Interbank Bank!
Wait for my further good news!
Merry Christmas to you all!
Half an hour after sending the email, I received an email from Qiao Yan to reply to me, which reads as follows:
Dear husband!
I can't help but receive your message!
Remember, there is a chance to live!
We are always waiting for you!
When it comes to financial management, do what you want!
I will definitely help you take care of the children and this family, and do your scientific research with peace of mind!
In the future, we just need to contact once a month, we must protect ourselves, safety is the most important thing!
Your wife Qiao Yan!
After reading Qiao Yan's letter, I quit the Internet, closed the computer, and rested on the sofa in the office!
