Chapter 435: Facilitating a Meeting Between the Leaders of the Two Countries?
Preconceived notions are human nature.
In the period when the earth was not known to have gravity, no one would believe that the earth was a ball, and after proving that the earth was a ball, human nature made human beings subconsciously believe that the earth was the center of the universe.
Worthington is based on a preconceived notion that zombies are not attacking the patient infected with the deadly virus, only because of the deadly virus that can turn humans into zombies, not because the patient is terminally ill.
And because the time was too tight, Worthington was anxious to achieve results, hoping that his research would produce some results as soon as possible, so that the U.S. government would pay more attention to him. So, without conducting more research experiments, he directly reported the news.
Just as someone like Worthington can be the head of this research team, the White House chief of staff who chose him, and even the US secretary of defense, who doesn't like him, believe that he has enough expertise.
Well, since Worthington believes that it is the homology of the deadly virus, so that the zombies do not attack the patients, they have the same understanding.
This is a very coincidental misunderstanding, and an inevitable misunderstanding.
If the zombie crisis in this world breaks out, and there are zombies everywhere in the world, someone will inevitably find a problem, that is, zombies will not attack people with terminal diseases, not just people infected with deadly viruses.
But because of Wen Ming's advance prediction, all the research work began before the zombie virus broke out.
At this time, no one dared to create more zombies, and there were only three laboratories in the United States, including Wenming's Jurassic Island Laboratory, that studied zombie viruses, and in these three laboratories, the number of zombies did not exceed ten.
Lacking sufficient base, it is naturally difficult to find the crux of the problem.
"You're saying that Professor Worthington discovered that zombies don't attack infected people with deadly viruses?"
When Wen Ming got the news, he was extremely excited, because he disclosed the news of the zombie crisis to the United States and Huaxia, and he had a purpose, that is, to let one of the two parties discover this problem.
"This is really good news, and I am now starting experiments to confirm the veracity of this conclusion."
Wen Ming's performance was also full of surprise as if he knew the news for the first time.
The person who came to tell Wen Ming the news was the US Secretary of Defense, a person of this position, who had so many things to deal with, but he personally came to convey the news, which shows the importance of this news and the importance of the zombie crisis.
The Minister of Defense said: "Does this conclusion have any substantial help for you to solve this zombie crisis?" ”
This question has already shown that the purpose of the defense minister's visit is not only to convey information, but also to gain more confidence from Wen Ming.
Although Wen Ming has been judged as a 'spy' at a certain level and has also engaged in 'espionage operations', at this time, the US government must also rely on Wen Ming and put more hope on Wen Ming.
Wen Ming pretended to arrange for Cui Chuanming to verify it first, and then replied: "It's very helpful, because this gives us a good research direction, that is, how to make zombies no longer actively attack humans." Moreover, this is not just a research direction, but also a problem solving that has been proven to be successful in some way. ”
The Minister of Defense was shocked and asked, "You don't want to tell me that you are going to infect humans all over the world with a deadly virus, and then achieve the goal of avoiding a zombie crisis, right?" ”
Wen Ming was also shocked in his heart, and his face also showed a surprised expression at the same time, but these two surprises were not the same reason at all. He asked, "How can you think like that?" This is not to save the world, but to destroy it. ”
The Secretary of Defense breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said: "It's not that I have this idea, but Professor Worthington has this idea, and he is ready to carry it out." And, now his research direction has changed to find a cure for deadly viral infections. ”
Wen Ming also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he wanted others to find that zombies would not attack deadly virus infected, which did not mean that he hoped that others would find zombies and not attack terminally ill patients.
Now that Professor Worthington's research direction has changed, and the Secretary of Defense believes that zombies just don't attack people infected with the deadly virus, he can really rest assured.
"In this way, I really admire him."
Wen Ming said: "Daring to put forward this kind of idea shows that his ability to withstand pressure is very strong, otherwise, it is equivalent to personally destroying the entire human world." ”
The Minister of Defense disagreed with Wen Ming's point of view, saying: "He is not strong in resisting pressure, he is just an idiot." Until there is a solution to the deadly virus, even if the zombie crisis is about to break out, no one will agree to infect the world with a deadly virus. ”
"Leaders are not going to make this decision, and all the people in the world are not going to agree to this approach, they would rather find a place to hide than infect themselves with a deadly virus."
The zombie crisis broke out, and it is still possible for human beings to survive, but everyone is infected with a deadly virus, and if the method cannot be researched at that time, human society will only have the consequence of extinction.
Wen Ming laughed in his heart, he was already clear about Worthington's hostility towards him, he didn't care about this kind of little person at all, and he wouldn't retaliate. But since the other party died, and he missed the way to become a savior, Wen Ming didn't mind falling into the well.
"Although I say I admire him, he is really idiotic for this idea." Wen Ming said: "Moreover, it is also very dangerous. ”
Having said that, it is enough, the performance of the Minister of Defense in front of Wen Ming no longer needs Wen Ming to fall too seriously on Worthington.
The Minister of Defense asked: "Why haven't you found such a simple conclusion?" ”
Wen Ming laughed and said: "Huaxia already had engraving printing in the Tang Dynasty, but it was not until the Song Dynasty that there was movable type printing, and the time when Europeans invented movable type printing was 400 years later. ”
"Do you think that with the woodblock printing, it is easy to invent movable type printing?"
The Minister of Defense did not answer, but looked at Wen Ming, in fact, he had some doubts that Wen Ming had been until this matter, because although Wen Ming was very nervous before, it was not the kind of tension that was either life or death.
Wen Ming continued: "Let me ask you a question, two strangers fall into the water at the same time, you can only save one person, and the other person will definitely die." And at this time, you learn that one of them has a terminal illness and will die in a month or two, and there is no cure. So, who will you choose to save? ”
The Minister of Defense frowned and asked, "You mean, people infected with the deadly virus are certain to die at the moment, so when you are looking for a way to deal with the zombie virus, you are using normal people as experimental samples?" ”
Wen Ming praised the Minister of Defense in his heart and said: "Yes, this is not only our research direction, but also the research direction of all scientific research workers. Moreover, we were worried that if the deadly virus encountered a zombie virus when it did not become a zombie virus, it would cause changes that we could not control, so we left the experiment of infecting deadly virus patients with zombie viruses for later. ”
The zombie virus will not attack the terminally ill patients, and no one will want to give priority to saving those terminally ill patients when all mankind is facing a crisis, which is human nature and the long-term love of scientists.
Although some people may think of fighting poison with poison, as Professor Worthington said, what human beings lack most now is time, and the outbreak time of the zombie crisis is getting closer and closer, and it is impossible to experiment with every possibility.
This is also Wen Ming's confidence that he dares to let others discover this problem, he is also a scientist, so he naturally knows this truth.
The Minister of Defense understood, and then said: "I hope that you can find a solution to the problem as soon as possible, and in addition, next Monday, our president, Mr. President, will meet with the leaders of China." ”
"It can also be said that you made this meeting a success."
When he said the last sentence, the Minister of Defense looked at Wen Ming's eyes with a warning flavor, however, Wen Ming had a blank and ignorant expression on this.
"Mr. Minister of Defense, I don't have the ability to let the two of them meet, you really think too highly of me."
