CHAPTER 10 TUCKER BASE 10
Chapter 10 Tucker Base 10
To put it simply, the staple food here is the cheapest, basically full, followed by meat, and fresh vegetables are scarce, as for canned fruits... It's a luxury!
The production of cans is not complicated, but nowadays, whether it is a glass container to make cans and bottles, or metal to make cans and bottles, it is difficult to obtain enough raw materials, and there is not so much energy, resulting in large-scale production, and the most important raw material, the fruit itself, is difficult to cultivate for a while!
The natural environment here is just too bad. It can only be produced on a small scale in the laboratory, and it produces some strawberries, watermelons and other fruits that can grow quickly, and fruits such as apples and pears should not be thought of in a few years!
And the little melons and fruits cultivated by the laboratory with great effort are a drop in the bucket for hundreds of thousands of people in the entire base!
One of the reasons why it is possible to supply canned fruits that are almost invisible outside is to supplement the nutrition of researchers, and most importantly, to motivate them and mobilize their enthusiasm: Do you want to eat it? If you want to eat, go to work!
In addition, more importantly, it looks like there is, but the vast majority of people can't afford it......
If nothing else, 300 canned yellow peaches......
Li Jie looked at these fruits, he was not short of fruits, but he also wanted to change the taste at the moment.
Turning his head and asking Ma Xiaodong next to him in a low voice: "I have the rank of major general, how much is my salary?" ”
"Eh" Ma Xiaodong was stunned, he really didn't know this.
Li Jie rolled his eyes, and suddenly remembered that he, a major general, had a military rank, but he had no documents, military uniforms, guns, and nothing! Didn't even talk about the treatment! How can this work? Salary is very important, okay! Not to mention anything else, I can't even afford to eat a canned yellow peach without food stamps! No, I'll ask for a salary when I go back!
But what now? As soon as his eyes rolled, Li Jie had a way.
With a slightly embarrassed expression on his face, Li Jie turned his head and asked Director Qin: "Eh, that, Director Qin, look at my salary, can you advance it for a month first?" ”
Qin Huanian was stunned for a moment at first, and immediately smiled after reacting: "Oh, this is our negligence, it is definitely okay, your salary will be paid at the beginning of the month, and you will be issued a card in a while!" ”
"Can you still swipe your card?" Li Jie was surprised.
"Well, electronic payment is also possible, and mobile phones can be scanned." Qin Huanian nodded.
Li Jie: ......
……
did not let Li Jie pay, this meal was the so-called hospitality meal, Qin Huanian gave Li Jie some of each dish, and invited Li Jie and two guards Ma Xiaodong and Mao Tianyu to eat together. In his words, it can be reimbursed.
The seasoning of cumin is Li Jie's great love! And the dish of stir-fried pork with cumin is simply the best taste in the world for Li Jie!
didn't say it, it was spicy enough, and the cumin flavor was fragrant enough cumin fried meat, so that Li Jie couldn't be more satisfied with this meal! This is the first cumin fried meat he has eaten since the end of the world!
As an AX person, Li Jie can eat spicy food, likes to eat spicy, and is almost not spicy! And since the end of the world, I can occasionally get some chili peppers or chili powder from some places in the early stage, but now, it is difficult to find these things.
Fresh chili peppers have long been spoiled, and chili powder, to put it bluntly, can be eaten, and people who are extremely hungry have already sent these things to loot, so Li Jie, who has not eaten chili peppers for a long time, now can't say that he can't eat or know the taste, but he also desperately wants to eat a bite of spicy dishes!
While eating a lot, I recalled, I remember that someone in the show said that human beings will be addicted to spicy things, Li Jie didn't believe it at the time, but now he hasn't eaten spicy food for so long, this is uncomfortable, he believes it!
In the future, chili peppers must become their own standing resources!
It's just hate, you can't extract chili peppers in your phone......
After eating a meal, Qin Huanian rejected Li Jie's plan to immediately treat Qin Feng and the others, but instead persuaded that there was no need to rush at one moment, wait for the researchers to prepare the laboratory in the afternoon, and then go over for treatment.
So, Li Jie was taken to his dormitory at the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
It is said to be a dormitory, but it is on the top floor of the office building of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a one-bedroom and a living room that is not too big, but there should be no less things inside, and it can be seen that it has indeed been carefully arranged.
After taking a nap, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Li Jie's door was knocked, and he asked sleepily and unsoberly: "Who ......?"
"Chief! Director Qin Huanian was infected at noon! Ma Xiaodong's anxious voice came from outside.
"What!?" When Li Jie heard this, his originally half-closed eyes widened suddenly, and he sat up from the bed at once, lifted the quilt, jumped out of bed, opened the door and asked, "What did you say!?" ”
"Director Qin Huanian, at 1:30 in his dormitory, the epidemic prevention bureau received a computer alert, and when he arrived at the scene, he was already infected! Dean Liu asked me to call you! ”
"Okay, now let's go!" When Li Jie heard this, he went out without saying a word, followed Ma Xiaodong down, went downstairs, and just arrived at the door of the building, Dean Liu stood in the foyer and paced back and forth, and when he saw Li Jie, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward: "Xiao Li, Hua Nian is even a quota, let's start the experiment with him first, the laboratory is ready, follow me!" ”
After speaking, he pulled Li Jie and walked to the location of the 501 Institute.
Walking out of the office building of the headquarters of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, there was a battery sightseeing car with photovoltaic panels on the roof of the building, President Liu took Li Jie and two guards, and after getting into the car, he said to the driver: "Hurry up!" ”
The car was driving in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Dean Liu was anxious, but he still chatted with Li Jie: "Don't be nervous if you go for a while, just follow me, don't worry, all the people who can appear in the 501 Institute have been selected and assessed at various levels, and they are absolutely reliable!" ”
The battery car traveled, and soon arrived at the 501 Institute.
Approaching the 501 building, Li Jie followed Dean Liu to the elevator, only to find that the buttons in the elevator were not only on the 1st-3rd floors, but also on the 5th floor!
5 basement floors!?
Professor Liu pressed the "-5" button with his hand, and then smiled at the surprised Li Jie: "What, I didn't expect it, right?" ”
"This, I really didn't expect it!" Li Jie nodded honestly.
"Hehe, just to be on the safe side." Dean Liu didn't say much, and when he arrived at the -5th floor, as soon as he got out of the elevator, Li Jie was surrounded by four gun-wielding soldiers, wearing gas masks and biochemical equipment, which startled Li Jie.
"Go, follow me!" Without stopping, Dean Liu walked to the end of the room, where there were two doors, one read: Male and the other Female.
This... Lavatory?
Li Jie was a little dizzy, but he still followed Dean Liu into the "men's toilet", and when he entered, he found that it was not the case at all, the dressing room, the protective equipment wearing room, the disinfection room... With the assistance of several staff members, they changed clothes, wore protective clothing, disinfected, and tossed for 20 minutes before Li Jie gasped for clothes like spacesuits and walked into the real experimental area.
"OMG!" Li Jie was already shocked, but he really didn't expect it to be so rigorous!
"A large part of the subjects waiting for the experiment here are infectious, and there are many types of airborne transmission, although there is a perfect isolation and protection system, disinfection system, and protective clothing can not be missing, this is our last line of defense! You know what! Every time you come, don't be careless! Dean Liu was also wearing protective clothing, and said to Li Jie with some breath.
The voice came from the miniature megaphone in Li Jie's helmet, and Li Jie nodded, signaling that he understood.
Following Dean Liu to walk forward again, finally, after several areas, I arrived at the laboratory in Area Q.
Li Jie didn't understand what the so-called Q zone meant, but after passing through the disinfection room again and entering the laboratory, he was shocked by the scene in front of him again.
This is a laboratory with a floor height of more than 5 meters, and its area, according to Li Jie's visual measurement, is at least about 200 square meters!
Divided into several areas by transparent glass, more than twenty people in protective suits are talking incessantly.
In addition, there are almost as many armed guards as the researchers, which makes Li Jie understand how tight this place really is!
In addition, on a simple instrument in the middle of the laboratory, a person is lying there naked.
Li Jie took a closer look from a different angle, it was Qin Huanian's director!
"Have you completed the collection of all values?" When Dean Liu arrived here, he seemed to be a different person, his tone was serious and serious, and his actions became so rapid that he could hardly see his old state.
"Dean, the collection has been completed! A man's voice came from a man in a hazmat suit.
"Okay, keep all the equipment on, keep an eye on the γ rays, and ......" all kinds of professional terms that Li Jie had never heard of at all, said from the mouth of Dean Liu, and the people below checked and checked one item at a time, and if they did not complete one, they would report: "XX is complete!" ”
"XX done!"
……
Finally, after the self-inspection was completed again, Dean Liu said to Li Jie, who had been looking stupid for a long time, and said, "Xiao Li, you can start, follow what you did before, and recover Xiao Qin." ”
"Okay!" In this environment, Li Jie didn't dare to slack off at all, agreed, and took out his mobile phone from the pocket of his protective suit a little nervously!
The protective clothing looks heavy, but it is mainly concentrated in the helmet and the breath filter device on the chest, but the hands are only covered with a thin layer of material, this magical material does not make Li Jie feel uncomfortable, the skin is not covered with damp heat, and the touch on the hands has hardly been affected.
took out the mobile phone with the screen already broken, the corner of Dean Liu's eyes on the side twitched slightly, and he didn't speak, Li Jie turned on the phone, entered the game, prepared the game props - golden apple, weakness potion, and then aimed at Qin Huanian on the device: "Go in!" ”
Under the gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes and countless kinds of cameras, Qin Huanian disappeared on the test bench silently.
Qin Huanian before, although he was infected, he was injected with a strong sedative, so that he could lie on the instrument in peace, at this moment, he suddenly entered the game, and this state that was not recognized by the game was immediately contacted, and the zombie who had been manic appeared in the small room with Li Jie's characteristics!
Throwing potions, feeding apples, and after a set of regular procedures, the zombie villager slowly returned to the appearance of a normal villager, and was turning his head to look around.
Li Jie's heart was relieved, and he faced the front: "Come out!" ”
Qin Huanian appeared in front of everyone like this!
I saw that because of the sudden change in the environment, his body trembled slightly, and he shook his head a little dizzy, but found that he was not in his familiar bedroom, but in the ...... Uh, lab?
"Director Qin?" A female researcher screamed tentatively.
"Xiao Han? Lao Wang? Hey, Dean! Why do you ......" Qin Huanian was a little dizzy, then looked entangled, and then asked thoughtfully: "Am I infected?" ”
"Who......a" No one answered Qin Huanian's words, and the external speakers on everyone present began to emit "Wow! Really good? ”
"Sober!"
"It's true! Oh my God, we have ...... salvation."
"It can really be ......"
Dozens of people began to say this or that in shock, and the scene became very noisy for a while.
"Quiet!"
"Quiet!!"
In the midst of two loud reprimands, the researchers slowly calmed down, and Dean Liu's face could not be seen, but his tone was very dissatisfied: "What are you doing!?" Yes? Why don't you go and read the observations? It's okay to do it!! ”
Immediately, the researchers, who had originally subconsciously gathered together, quickly dispersed and returned to their respective posts to observe the data observed by various instruments......
At this time, Dean Liu, under the protection of the two guards, walked to the two meters in front of Qin Huanian, and said softly: "Huanian, what do you think?" ”
"Dean, I, I feel good! Nothing uncomfortable! Am I infected? Xiao Li saved me? Qin Huanian had already reacted at this moment, but he still couldn't help but look at Li Jie with gratitude on his face.
"Yes, you were infected during your lunch break, and according to the agreement you signed before, the rescue brought you here to participate in the experiment, but I'm afraid it's the first time you've participated in the experiment as an experimental question, right? Yes? Hehe...... "Dean Liu was just serious, that was his duty, but the joy in his heart, how could he have been worse than others?" At this time, he couldn't help but joke with Qin Huanian.
"Hey, this is the first time!" Qin Huanian smiled self-deprecatingly, then turned to Li Jie and said, "Xiao Li, thank you this time!" ”
"It's okay, I'm also cooperating with the research, I hope you will research a vaccine or antidote as soon as possible, so that our lives can return to the way they were before." Li Jie said sincerely.
"Yes!"
"But ......" Dean Liu first affirmed, and then looked at Li Jie hesitantly: "However, your mobile phone, do you want us to check it, and if you can, fix the screen for you?" I feel bad when you keep holding it like this......."
Li Jie was stunned for a moment, looked at the mobile phone in his hand, looked at the broken screen that he couldn't see, and said with a smile: "Okay, but pay attention, I don't know what the problem is with it, you can check it, but be careful, don't make the ability missing." ”
As he spoke, he handed over his phone!
It's that simple!? Dean Liu was a little incredulous!
