Chapter 254: Mystery Veil
Between a pile of fish bones and bones, the two men slept soundly. Wang Dazhuang is greedy for a cup, snoring and satisfying at the same time. Yang Xiaohai was a little wronged, he was the master of the bottle blowing with the wine jar in his arms. My body has changed, but my drinking habits have not. The two are intertwined, and they make themselves unaware.
He doesn't care about anything, but that doesn't mean everyone is the same. At least the three mercenaries of Huang Congjiang, Gaocheng, and Sun Lei were still standing straight, even if the alcohol made them blush and have thick necks, they were still as tall as pine.
"The order has been read," Li Wei sighed, sat back in his chair with a sigh of relief, his clear pupils dilated again, his head arched into the mountain of garbage, and he fell asleep on the table. It seems that this one also drank no less.
For a while, only Wang Dazhuang's undulating snoring and three standing mercenaries were left in the small cafeteria. It wasn't until Li Weiguo also blew bubbles that Gao Cheng took the lead in breaking the silence: "I don't know what you guys think. I noticed that Lee used two heavy words: 'all-out' and 'at all costs'.
Does 'full strength' mean that the state company will work together with us, or does it only refer to our base? In particular, 'at any cost', it is creepy to hear. Moreover, how did the headquarters determine that the first generation of viruses was in the north? It's scary to think about it, how much information is there that we don't know? ”
"I agree with Lao Gao's idea." Sun Lei touched his chin, stared at the drunk Li Weiguo and said slowly: "No matter what you do, whatever it costs means huge sacrifice and loss. Although the base has been reborn, it is not completely invincible. I'm personally fearless and believe you're just like me, but that's not a reason to represent survivors.
I suggest that you put it off for a while and see. If you can't, we can ask the Yanmar. She's the smartest and weirdest person I've ever met. Every time I see her, I feel like I've seen through it, but there's no doubt that she sees things accurately. ”
Gaocheng Sun Lei's face is as red as a jujube, and the other is as white as paper. This is a typical reaction after drinking too much, and it is said to be related to blood type and liver function. But Huang Congjiang is different. His face was as usual, only slightly pale. obviously drank more than Gaocheng Sun Lei combined, but he was the most sober of the six.
"I want to ask you, what is the soul of a mercenary?" Huang Congjiang raised his eyebrows and suddenly asked. "Adhere to the absolute leadership of the state company over the mercenaries; Always ready to sacrifice oneself and sacrifice oneself for China; The rise and fall of the state company is the responsibility of the husband, and the mercenary is the one who stands up among the thousands of people, and the person who needs to bear the rise and fall of the state company. Gao Cheng didn't even think about it, he opened his mouth and came.
"Well, you haven't forgotten who you are. During the banquet, I learned from Li Bu's mouth that all foreign companies have lost control of their own companies, and our situation is slightly better. All four major military regions fell. A formed mercenary system, only we ......"
"So, what does the old squad leader mean?" Sun Lei already knows the answer, but he still has to ask. "Cooperate with the action of the state company, but be sensible. At least we have to have the courage to refuse to jump into it, knowing that it is a fire pit. ”
Sun Lei Gao Cheng glanced at each other and was speechless. Mercenaries, pay attention to absolute obedience, what they want is to obey the absolute command of the national company. From this point of view, Huang Congjiang is no longer a qualified mercenary.
After the reception banquet, Li Weiguo and the nine people were arranged in the communication building. Egret and several other female soldiers live on the top floor of the third floor, and they live on the second floor. The entire base is still under construction, and the communication building and scientific research building for female soldiers are relatively stopped.
Li Weiguo originally wanted to live with virus experts, but Yang Xiaohai disagreed. As it turned out later, the old otaku's unintentional actions avoided a lot of trouble. Li Weiguo has had private contact with international virus experts such as Zhao Guijie. I talked about the background of the national company one by one.
Zhao Guijie rejected the suggestion of merging with the state-owned company on the grounds that the scientific research work had just started and was not suitable for further transfer. Chinese experts are the only ones who look forward to Zhao Guijie, and the results speak for themselves. As for Billy. Justin and a few foreigners directly made it clear that no matter what you say, our brothers will not go anywhere.
Just kidding, looking at the whole planet, what better place than the "Whale Nuclear Power Plant"? If you really want to follow, let alone study the virus, whether you can bask in the sun and eat enough is a matter of whether you can bask in the sun or eat well.
In order to show his intentions, Yang Xiaohai specially told Bailu that as long as Li Weiguo wanted to, he could contact the head office at any time, and the base would not defend Li Weiguo. Therefore, the officials of the state company were busy inspecting this and that, but they didn't make much trouble.
Yang Xiaohai asked Winnie to take care of it more, and he left the people of the state company behind. Sign every day, tease the dogs, and by the way, watch the mercenaries' never-ending training, and give some guidance if you don't know how to pretend to understand. Once that's all done, the rest of the time is left to the single-player game. is so heartless, life is easy.
After a few days of mixing like this, one morning, before the temperature rose, Zhao Guijie knocked on the door of the old otaku. With two dark circles under his eyes and his hair messy like a bird's nest, Yang Xiaohai yawned and asked, "Lao Zhao, is there anything you can't say in the afternoon?" I haven't woken up yet! ”
Expert Zhao sighed helplessly: "There are dead people outside every day, how can you still play games all night long?" I really don't know if it's because of the big heart or the small brain. ”
"I was born without heart and lungs, and you can't envy me. What's the matter, it's only seven o'clock, I'll try to get back to sleep! ”
“…… I don't have the vitality of a young man at all, and you're still the leader of the base......"
"Good Night ......"
"Don't close the door, don't close the door. I'm really in trouble......"
"Great expert, you don't speak well at all, really...... Ha ......" Yang Xiaohai yawned for a long time, and he had long forgotten the identity of the other party. Fortunately, Zhao Guijie also knew Yang Xiaohai's temperament, so he was not annoyed at all.
"After twenty-seven virologists working day and night, we have finally caught the tail of the deadly virus." In a word, drive away all the sleepiness.
"It's only been a little over a month, and it's been fruitful so quickly?" Yang Xiaohai was quite surprised. He threw these virus experts at the research building and didn't pay any attention to them. So I don't know what progress the white coats have made and what they have done.
"It's slow. We only grasped some of the laws of the virus, but we didn't say that we developed a vaccine. There is an essential difference between the two. ”
“…… Didn't come out with anything? That's what it means, right? ”
“……”
"Excuse me, get back of way, I'm closing."
"An ignorant boy who doesn't learn anything. You know, what I'm going to tell you about is the most cutting-edge virus information on Earth. No amount of money can buy it. ”
"Huh? Money? Is it expensive? ”
"I said it, it's hard to buy a thousand dollars."
"Okay, okay, come in and say. I've been standing at the door, and those who don't know think I don't respect the elderly! ”
"......" Zhao Guijie straightened his tie, brushed his hair, and got into Yang Xiaohai's kennel with a briefcase.
Under a pile of household garbage and empty wine bottles, the big expert found the chair. Pulling the things on it to the ground, Zhao Guijie didn't wait to sit down and said: "From a human point of view, this deadly virus is terrible; But from a purely scholarly point of view, this virus is interesting, very interesting. ”
"I don't even find it funny to make the whole world like this."
"You're not a virus student, so of course you don't understand. To put it simply, this virus is a ...... Well...... Very strong and very weak creatures. Well, it's a bit inaccurate to say that it is a living thing, and maybe it would be more appropriate to say that there is some kind of existence. ”
"I said Lao Zhao, don't go around, it's too professional and I don't understand. Just say, what the hell are you trying to tell me? ”
"Rogue boy, if it weren't for a coincidence, I really didn't want to pay attention to you."
With a "stab", Zhao Guijie opened the briefcase in his hand. A wad of white A4 paper pulled out.
"Have you ever heard of immortal creatures? Not a fairy tale, not a myth, but a living creature. ”
"Turtle?"
“……”
Zhao Guijie shrugged helplessly, and divided the garbage to the left and right, so that he could sit more comfortably. and handed the document in his hand to Yang Xiaohai.
"Drink less, the alcohol concentration in your house, I'm afraid that sooner or later it will reach an explosive concentration...... Do you know about lighthouse jellyfish and tardigrades? Yes, it's the picture you have. The former can be reborn through the process of cell transdifferentiation. It can turn adults into larvae, transforming somatic cells into powerful stem cells.
Stem cells can then re-divide into new tissues or life, and thus be reborn. And the latter is the existence with the strongest vitality of the earth star. It has strong vitality and superb survival skills, and can survive at low temperature, low humidity, hypoxia, metaosis and high temperature, and even survive in outer space without protective measures. "It's a good cow to break, why haven't you seen it tired?"
Yang Xiaohai shook the picture in his hand, looking incredulous. "Both of these creatures are very small and have to be seen with a microscope. The photos in your hands are what they look like when they are magnified countless times. ”
"In other words, it's not enough to stuff your teeth? Not interested. ”
"Hey, play the harp to the cow. Boy, if you do this again, I'm really gone. ”
"Hey, Lao Zhao, why are you so funny? You say, you say, I don't open my mouth. "No matter how tired Yang Xiaohai is, he knows how to do it. Can you not listen to what the famous virus expert on Earth Star said?
"The two creatures I've listed, deadly viruses, have something in common. Not only does it have the stem cells in the lighthouse jellyfish, but it also has the super high vitality of the tardigrades. It's like jellyfish are internal organs, and tardigrades are external splicing things. ”
"Slow down, I don't understand. Two organisms know, what is a 'stem cell'? ”
"The lighthouse jellyfish can live forever because it has regenerative genes. And humans have this gene, but it's inactive, or dormant. Regenerative genes, on the other hand, are similar to stem cells, and by the way, modern medicine likens the search for stem cells to the search for the Holy Grail, which shows how difficult it is.
Hehe, far from it, the so-called 'stem cell' is actually a cell with the ability to proliferate, self-repair, mass-produce and differentiate offspring. Regeneration and renewal are of far-reaching significance for the treatment of necrotic or diseased tissues in the human body and the treatment of aging. If you have a thorough insight into the secrets of stem cells, cancer, Parkinson's disease, stroke, heart ......
All existing diseases will not be a problem. Just doing embryonic stem cell research is bound to destroy the embryo. The embryo is a life form before the human being is formed, which is contrary to bioethics. ”
Zhao Guijie is worthy of being an expert, as soon as he opened his mouth, professional academic knowledge came to his face, and he was confused and confused by the scumbags who had not graduated from high school.
