Chapter 54 The Ministry of Science and Technology's Zombie Report and Reform
So far, the Special Committee has built a total of three observation bases for the captive breeding of zombies.
As a source of meat breeding base is widely distributed, Beijing and Tianjin have mutant animal breeding bases, in addition to the mountainous areas to demarcate a few human safety areas, the rest as wildlife breeding areas, rivers as edible fish breeding bases, but when fishing, you need to pay attention to the danger of carnivorous fish.
The old river bay observation base is the first, a total of one million zombies, Daxing Mountain Area observation base, a total of 500,000 zombies, near the port of Tianjin, after the recovery, because of the marine mutant organisms, a large number of zombies were introduced into captivity, mainly to observe the relationship between zombies and marine life.
The original Beijing Zoo is the first mutant animal breeding base, the subway system is the mutant rat breeding base, and the high-rise buildings in the Xizhimen area are the mutant bird breeding base.
These are observed under the auspices of the Ministry of Science and Technology.
Because zombies are currently the absolute first priority object to observe, the Ministry of Science and Technology has invested almost all of its manpower and material resources in the zombie base.
On September 15, 2015, Minister Liu had already saved up a thick stack of reports, and he thought that he could come up with a reasonable report to the Special Committee, although they were all placed on the special committee's regional OA network, and he couldn't show it at the meeting a few days ago, and he was ready to show his hand this time - scientists don't eat steamed buns for nothing, fooling so many scientific research funds in vain!
In order to strengthen the weight, a thick stack was printed, and the special committee was invited to hold a zombie report meeting, which included the leaders of various ministries, the standing representatives of the people's congress, and the zombie hearing team of the people's congress.
Before the report meeting, the people's congress first struck him a head-on blow, and they demanded that the supervision of the Ministry of Science and Technology's funds be strengthened; it was obvious that the people's congress had university professors and the like who were undesirable before the end of the world, and they were in the liberal arts, and they naturally had a weakness in making money.
They said that the scientific research system, including universities and other institutions that undertake the project, must use all scientific research funds for scientific research, and all scientific research personnel no longer enjoy administrative positions, which means that in the future, Minister Liu's right to report scientific research results will no longer be carried out, and the relevant scientific research personnel will have to do it themselves.
What researchers need, they themselves report to the governing body, which is also composed of elected researchers, for approval.
Before the end of the world, once the scientific research funds in the scientific research industry are allocated by default, according to the announcement of the relevant departments, about 40% can be used in scientific research, but according to Li Fengyi's experience in cooperation with scientific research departments, many electronics companies have cooperated with scientific research departments, they get a project money, and then take out a little bit to find a company in the society to make a project, it is about 20%~30%, and the rest are all divided by people from all walks of life, which plays a role in all kinds of academic tyrants, administrative officials, and so on.
The current people's congress demanded that scientific research be scientific research, implement an annual salary system for scientific research personnel, set annual salaries according to the results of scientific research, and scientific research personnel of management organs at all levels should be elected by themselves and could not be appointed by the government; of course they still agreed that there should be party organizations at all levels, and party organization officials could not be held by scientific research personnel.
Li Fengyi knew the original drawbacks, and although he didn't know whether the proposed new system was reasonable, when he saw Minister Liu's ugly expression, he signed and passed it under the pretext that the people's congress was an expression of public opinion.
He knew very well that these people were not surprisingly political elites, not politicians, and completely exterminated in the last days...... Pulled out of the last remaining squirt after extinction......
Minister Liu's first and last briefing at the Special Committee began.
There were all kinds of zombie videos, pictures, and text descriptions playing on the projector, and it was obvious that Minister Liu was unhappy, and he made the disgusting pictures the most eye-catching.
"According to our observations, zombies have initially taken on a social form."
His first words caused a stir in the venue.
"This social form is similar to that of ants. The difference is that it is not as clear as the division of labor among ants, there is no difference between worker ants, soldier ants, male ants, and queen ants, but every zombie is like a soldier ant. Communication between them is carried out through pheromones. ”
The venue continued to be sensational.
The host of the report meeting, picked up the small hammer and knocked it excitedly, smashed it, Li Fengyi looked at it, yes, this guy couldn't control himself excitedly, he was Wu Tianxiong, a gold speculator before the end of the world, and Li Fengyi came out of the No. 5 Courtyard A all the way, and now he has a ...... idle position,
He quickly raised his hand and shook it in front of the host a few times, and the host came back to his senses, picked up the hammer and struck it a few times, and yelled at the microphone, "Quiet! Be quiet! ”
"This pheromone is currently something that we humans can't interfere with and can't make. We experimented," Minister Liu clicked on the laptop, and the projector changed a few screens, revealing a few black boxes, "and finally we found that only sealed boxes made of lead can be shielded at a certain distance, and they must be more than 100 centimeters thick to be effective." And humans need a lead box of more than 100 centimeters to effectively avoid the zombie perception to escape the zombie perception. If you rely solely on distance to get rid of zombie induction, you need to be about 100 meters away from the nearest zombie, and you need to consider factors such as wind speed, wind direction, and sound. ”
"In the past, pheromones were transmitted through air or water, but the pheromone transmission route for zombies can be carried out even in a vacuum. Here are a few experiments we have done, and in the case of a simulated cosmic vacuum, we are still able to complete normal propagation. The propagation radius of pheromones is about 50 kilometers and can be connected in series, that is, three zombies can be evenly distributed in an area of 150 kilometers together and can transmit information to each other. The reason why this substance is named pheromones is proposed by an expert who specializes in the psychological state of Shenzhen ants, who said that this substance has the basic characteristics of pheromones. ”
"Zombies have the skills to spread the experience learned, we found that the same group of zombies within an effective transmission range of 50 kilometers, if a zombie is burned to death by fire or drowned by water, all the zombies in this group of zombies will know the danger of fire and water within 1 hour, which is as fast as the speed of human artificial foot transmission of news."
"Pheromones are produced from the brains of zombies, which are pictures of zombies' brains," a human brain-like object on the projector that glows an unusually dark red color shows multiple angles.
"We removed the brainstem, diencephalic, cerebellum and teleencephalon respectively, and removed part of it, so that the brain does not come into contact with the air, and the zombies will still move normally, and we have experimented with making the zombie brain into a brain pulp, as long as it does not come into contact with the air, it still does not affect the normal movement of the zombies, which can explain why the violent vibration of the cannonball will not cause zombie concussion and other human problems."
"At present, it is not clear what pheromones can transmit, and it is not clear whether it will develop into the transmission of complex and effective information."
"The brains of zombies are almost all made up of viruses, with a content of up to 75%, and the viruses that cause zombies will quickly become inactive once they are exposed to the earth's air, and if they can be reinserted into the brain, they will be activated again," Minister Liu clicked on several human brains that had been experimented, and these were the brains of death row prisoners.
"In the cosmic vacuum, these viruses are also in an inactive state, spreading through the air after entering the Earth, and losing their activity within a few hours. We found that the same is activated, and it can survive for 5 hours from the cosmic vacuum into the earth's environment and then be inactive, but the virus that comes out of the zombie brain will be inactive within a few seconds once it comes into contact with the air. The exact reason is unknown. Minister Liu couldn't help but say a term.
"How zombies establish a connection with a virus in the same brain is still being observed and experimented."
"The recipe or energy source of zombies is relatively strong," Minister Liu couldn't help but say this word, "Zombies that eat human flesh have the most adequate energy, and the most adequate means that their cell division speed is in the most vigorous state--- we don't know what such a vigorous cell division represents." Zombies that eat the rest of the meat replenish energy at about half the rate of eating human flesh. They can maintain their vitality even in a vacuum, and the cells are still in a state of slow division, indicating that the zombies are still absorbing energy, and it is speculated that it is absorbing the free energy of the universe, and the specific facts still need to be experimented. Zombie cells do not increase in size after division, but their body density increases proportionally. ”
"When they find human flesh and blood, they will pounce on them despite the warnings of the burning and flooded zombie hordes."
"Zombies are not tolerant of water, and they die 15 minutes after being completely submerged in water, and their brain cells will also die completely."
"The strength of zombies has reached 3 times the standard of post-apocalyptic humans, and the sprint speed is 2 times that of post-apocalyptic human standards, and when their physical strength is almost exhausted, their activity ability does not exceed the scope of pre-apocalyptic humans, they can't fly, they can't make super jumps, and they emit powers like electricity, fire, and shock waves in post-apocalyptic film and television works." ,
"Zombies are hardy and drought-resistant."
"It is not yet known if zombies will reproduce and how."
"Zombies have strange digestive organs, not human stomachs and intestines, but mouths, and they are able to store the flesh they eat in the esophagus and stomach, and then ruminate like cows. This is a good explanation why many zombies with a rotten stomach can also eat, although the food flows out of the stomach and intestines, but relying on the flesh and blood passing through the mouth, their cells will also get some energy. ”
"A direct explanation of the characteristics of zombies is that zombies have the characteristics of swarms, they will gradually form a group of zombies, and after forming a zombie group, they will devour all the flesh and blood they see like marching ants."
"So far, zombies can only be eliminated by directly smashing their heads, and the zombie's head resistance ability is comparable to that of the human body."
Moreover, the ant researcher suggested that a similar way of controlling the brain appeared in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest, and that many archaeologists have found similar ant zombies made by plant fungi about 48 million years ago in the history of the earth. The reason why this researcher studied the psychological morphology of ants in Shenzhen is that after he returned from the Brazilian rainforest, he found that a specimen ant had disappeared in Shenzhen. ”
"In fact, since ancient times, there have been examples of fungus Cordyceps sinensis controlling bat moths to become zombies."
"However, this zombie virus is completely different from fungi, but in some similar ways, which can be used as a reference for human research on zombies. The specific morphology of the zombie virus is still being studied, and the above analysis is only some of the characteristics of zombies and zombie groups jointly observed by the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Medicine. ”
"The roar of the zombies is made by the air flowing through the vocal cords of the human form, and it has no meaning to transmit information, and after we removed the vocal cords of several zombies, they can still transmit some information normally."
"In this meteorite event, the supercomputer of China's National Supercomputing Center in Tianjin retrieved all previous astronomical observation records, and found that this meteorite had been orbiting the earth 500,000 years ago, and it should not be a purposeful invasion of alien organisms...... An aimless invasion is not easy to judge......"
The venue was once again in turmoil, and the host struck the hammer hard.
Hands were raised and the floor was requested.
Wu Tianxiong glanced at Minister Liu, who had no intention of objecting, so he pointed at this person with a hammer and agreed.
"How did you find out 500,000 years ago?"
"We calculated the ...... based on the light we observed 500,000 years ago."
This is profound, everyone stopped speaking, Minister Liu wiped his sweat, he also listened to the ears of those astronomers, and asked him again, he didn't know, this time he also felt that it was really good to let the researchers explain themselves, it was good to lead the limelight, but the professional knowledge was not enough.
"And the Earth is a periodic route through the meteorite belt where this meteorite is located, except for this time, the most recent one is 4,800 years ago, and the ant zombie fungus may be related to this."
Another uproar, this is worth it, isn't this a periodic attack on the earth? And ants once ruled the earth?
Wu Tianxiong wielded the hammer again......
"According to the above observations, we tested the plate armor proposed by the General Logistics Department, and the high-quality steel plate with a thickness of 2 mm is enough to cope with the vigorous embrace of the zombies, of course, due to human mechanics, it is impossible to withstand the charge of the zombies, and it is recommended to use a shield with brackets to withstand the charge."
"Agree with the plan proposed by the General Logistics Department to unify the 7.62 mm caliber firearms and weapons, agree with the plan for the use of multiple warheads for artillery shells proposed by the General Logistics Department, and agree with the barbed wire plan proposed by the General Logistics Department."
The General Logistics Department gave him a few blank looks, and it was all their credit? We've been studying killing people for years, okay?
At the end of the briefing meeting, Minister Liu went back to carry out the promotion and deployment of the "Scientific Research Law" proposed by the National People's Congress.
Li Fengyi also inspected it in the past, and he knew that it was a good thing for scientific researchers to set up their own project teams, and they could more appropriately carry out expert leadership and expert work.
It's just a little bad that in this case, researchers are used as project managers, not every researcher is suitable for project managers, and that is more of a leadership position, not a technical cow. ,
In this case, it is necessary to have a party organization to take charge of the logistics work, but this method has historically proved to be almost dead, and it has not yielded much results for many years.
After discussing with everyone, it was decided to adopt the method of dividing departments according to their functions, and each professional person was assigned to a corresponding group, and a basic salary was stipulated, and if there were not enough manpower, they could be recruited from the society, and if the manpower exceeded the needs of the project, they would need to fire a part, and those who were dismissed would have to find jobs in various companies that had recovered in the society.
When there is a topic, the researchers who are willing to take the lead select people from each group by themselves, and if someone is just a cow and has no cooperative attitude, he may not be selected to any scientific research group.
For example, if a project requires the cooperation of optical, electronic, software, and mechanical personnel, the scientific researcher who takes the lead can select technical personnel from the corresponding optical department, electronic department, software department, and mechanical department, and then select a party staff member from the department in charge of logistics to be responsible for trivial and trivial matters in logistics and ideology.
Regardless of whether the personnel of various departments are selected or not, they will not be able to achieve results, and their salaries will be reduced in the second year, from 6 steamed buns to 5 steamed buns per day, and then 4 steamed buns in the next year, until they withdraw from the Ministry of Science and Technology.
With the exception of long-term strategic plans, they are allowed to achieve long-term results, but they are subject to stricter supervision, and the National People's Congress sends corresponding teams to regularly review them according to the level of secrecy -- the Ministry of State Security's secrecy requirements have been implemented in all fields.
It turned out that the leaders of the Ministry of Science and Technology were very unhappy, and their rights were assigned to various departments and project teams, and they could only do some coordination work.
However, they are also civil servants who were only admitted after the end of the world, and before the end of the world, most of them were ordinary people, and they couldn't think of a variety of ways to resist, and they were promoted in the end.
The new project plan was announced, and for a while, the scientific researchers were full of people, hoping to join a good scientific research group, achieve results, and improve their salary.
Waiting for the new topics to be claimed by various groups, Li Fengyi found that the materials needed were more than 70% less than the original way!
"it! These brutes! Lao Tzu is beating zombies with their heads, this group of beasts is corrupt! "Commander Liu was furious and wanted to shoot the corrupt elements of the Ministry of Science and Technology.
Li Fengyi did not agree to take measures for the time being, and he was well aware of the difference between an excellent technician and a project manager.
There were a few twists and turns in the middle of the project, but on the whole it was running smoothly, and I was relieved to wait until new projects continued to emerge.
This group of technicians and project leaders can be regarded as trained, and a virtuous circle can be formed in the future.
