A day later.

"Squeak squeak—"

The printer beside him suddenly let out a piercing squeak, interrupting Chen Chen's contemplation.

At the same time, the crisp children's voice of Xiao X in the stereo came out, "Your Excellency Godfather, the test report of the virus has come out!" ”

"Is it finally out?"

Chen Chen took the report from the printer and looked at it.

I saw that it was written:

"Description: 80 nm in diameter, 970 nm in length, fibrous, its genetic material is a single-stranded RNA structure, there is an envelope outside the RNA, the envelope is divided into 5 kinds of protein spikes, namely VP series protein and GP protein, the nucleotide similarity rate with Reston virus is 98.8%, it has been identified as an Ebola virus mutant subspecies, and can be detected by Reston Ebola virus PCR detection reagent."

Chen Chen had already speculated about these before, so he wasn't surprised, he just continued to look down.

Below, a map of the RNA genome of the virus is attached, including NP, VP35, VP40 and other proteins.

The report continues, "Hosts infected with the virus enter an incubation period of more than two days, followed by a virulent infectious disease, Ebola haemorrhagic fever, for which there are no official fatality rates, including complications such as stroke, myocardial infarction, hypovolemic shock or multiple organ failure." ”

"At present, the mode of infection has been determined to be airborne transmission and bodily fluid transmission, of which airborne transmission is droplet transmission, and bodily fluid transmission is blood, feces, vomit transmission, etc."

Seeing this, Chen Chen's expression moved, is it really transmitted through the air, this is very tricky.

Because even if people stay in their rooms and don't go out, there's no guarantee that the virus won't fly in through the cracks in windows and doors and down the wind.

"After preliminary investigation, the incubation period of the virus is more than 2 days, and the incubation period is still contagious, with symptoms including fever, fatigue, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, followed by vomiting, diarrhea, rash, impaired kidney and liver function."

"Subsequently, the patient will die acutely due to organ failure within three days, and the virus can be temporarily classified as a fourth-class biohazard virus, which is extremely threatening to humans!"

"This virus is tentatively named 'Black Light Virus.'"

After reading it, Chen Chen put down the report in his hand and gently tapped the table with his fingers.

Black light virus?

I'm still meowing "Torture and Killing Prototype"!

After thinking about it, Chen Chen raised his head and asked, "X, can the WHO's naming of the virus be the name of a company?" ”

"There is no precedent for the time being, but it is not a violation of the rules established in 2015."

"In 2015, the World Health Organization (WHO) stipulated that new diseases cannot be named after cities, countries, regions, people, animals, foods, cultures, ethnic groups, occupations, etc., but it did not say that they should not be named after companies. ”

"So strict?"

Chen Chen was a little surprised, because the full name of the Ebola virus that was first discovered was "Ebola Zaire", the former is the name of the river, and the latter is the name of the country.

There are many other examples of viruses named after regions, such as "Australian bat rabies virus", "California encephalitis virus", "Bolivia and Paraguay virus", and so on.

The names of these viruses have been completely tied to the region.

It's just that while naming a virus after a region or country is an insult, naming it after the person who found it is not as discriminatory as naming a location, but rather an incomparably honorable thing.

For example, Yersinia pestis, Escherichia coli, Salmonella, and so on......

In fact, this naming right is often contested, as in France and the United States, for example, for several years over the right to discover HIV.

However, the naming right of this disease has been set as early as the 70s of the last century, that is, "Ebola hemorrhagic fever", so Chen Chen only has the right to name this new subspecies of virus.

Nowadays, when it is not possible to name people and places, it is acceptable to call a virus a black light virus......

"In this case, it is called the 'Ebola black light virus', which is the sixth Ebola virus discovered so far, so it can be abbreviated as ...... in academic terms."

Chen Chen thought for a moment and wrote the words "BE-006" on the blank at the end of the report.

Well, there's an inside......

Chen Chen nodded and ordered again, "X, help me contact Qian Wenhuan." ”

As Chen Chen gave the order, after a while, there was a knock on the door of the office.

"Please come in."

Chen Chen raised his head and saw Qian Wen, who was sweating profusely, walking in happily, "Boss, are you looking for me?" ”

"Wen Huan, how are the tourists in Life Science City?"

Chen Chen didn't mention the matter directly, but asked instead.

"We have informed our customers that we offer free transport and can use private jets to return them to their home countries, but many of them are still reluctant to return and travel around Namibia."

Qian Wenhuan replied.

"It doesn't matter, from now on, I will buy a large number of Reston Ebola virus PCR test reagents from Zhongzhou District, which can detect the Ebola virus this time."

Chen Chen handed the report to Qian Wenhua, "But we should inform these customers in advance that if they leave Life Science City, we will not be responsible for their safety." ”

"Understood." Qian Wenhuan nodded and looked down at the report in his hand.

"Calling you this time, there is a more important thing besides this matter."

Chen Chen instructed, "I will take care of it myself for the time being, I need you to take the live strain of the new virus, go to the WHO headquarters, and report this material." ”

"A live strain has been isolated?"

Qian Wenhuan's face suddenly became happy, "This is a great time for our company to become famous all over the world!" ”

"That's why I said fast."

Chen Chen nodded, "Not only that, but you also have to buy some media to shape our company into the image of a leader in the fight against the epidemic, I believe you should be good at these." ”

"I understand!" Qian Wenhuan's expression gradually became serious.

He immediately understood the deep meaning of Chen Chen's words, because this was not something that could be humble, if he didn't want to come forward, there would naturally be others who would come forward.

When the time comes, it will let others take the initiative, and Blacklight Technology will become a tool used by the other party, but Blacklight Technology will not be able to refuse.

After all, there is such a thing as righteousness, and if it falls, it will crush people......

After letting Qian Wenhuan set off on a private jet, Chen Chen dialed Xia Yin of the Zhongzhou District Head Office again.

"Xia Yin, I will send you a report later, what you have to do is to contact the CDC agency immediately and report the situation in Namibia.

Without waiting for Xia Yin to speak, Chen Chen took the first step and said, "At the same time, we will purchase all kinds of disposable medical supplies in the whole region, including masks, protective clothing, disinfectants, etc., as well as the most important Reston Ebola virus PCR detection reagents!" ”

"I see, yesterday I just saw the news in Africa that there is an epidemic raging, so it turned out to be the Ebola virus?"

Xia Yin was stunned for a moment before she reacted, but at this time, her voice was no longer what it used to be, but had an extra taste of a strong woman, full of vigor and decisiveness.

"That's right, this is a virulent virus that can be transmitted through the air, the mortality rate will not be less than fifty percent, and it is very likely to spread to all continents in the next few days, you be careful."

"Okay."

Xia Yin replied briefly, but before she could ask anything, Chen Chen hung up the phone.

This time the call was made quickly, and the hang-up was also fast, and when Chen Chen hung up the phone again without hesitation, a touch of loneliness appeared in Xia Yin's eyes, and then this emotion quickly disappeared.

At this moment, a secretary wearing a black silk and white shirt walked in from outside the door and hurriedly said, "General manager, the chairman has sent a document for you to see." ”

"Bring it."

Xia Yin raised her head and took the document, and when she saw the handwriting on it, she suddenly showed a solemn expression......
