Chapter Fifty-Six: Special Merit
Lu Ming remembered one more thing.
"The vigilante in the southern city...... What's the name? I was initially infected with that, how did I deal with it? ”
"It's Li Hu, right? He's okay, he's back at work. However, someone will secretly monitor him in the future, and he will not be evacuated until he is confirmed to be fine. ”
"Does he agree with the 'public health event' explanation?"
At the beginning, Li Hu was deeply involved in the investigation of this incident and knew part of the truth.
Professor Ning smiled: "It's a very simple thing to let him believe this explanation, after all, we are the authority." Besides, even if there are doubts in your heart, what can you do? There are so many conspiracy theories, no less than one of them. ”
Even if it is the truth, it is possible to be drowned in conspiracy theories and become part of conspiracy theories.
Lu Ming nodded slowly: "It's the same." ”
Even if Li Hu didn't believe this explanation, but went out to preach something like "when you see the star map, you will be polluted by evil gods, and people will go crazy", no one will believe it.
"And ...... South of the city there, how to explain the sky in the picture that is projected on the star map? ”
Professor Ning shrugged: "It's simpler. At present, the official caliber is that a popular science lecture is being held on the outskirts of the southern city, and astronomers use projectors to project the picture of the star map so that the audience can experience the magnificence of the galaxy firsthand.
Then, the weather happened to be special, and it happened to be a power outage in the whole city, and after a series of coincidences, the projection there was refracted on the clouds, and the clouds acted as a curtain, so the projection was projected. ”
Lu Ming said with a smile: "This reason should be convincing to ordinary people who don't have professional knowledge." ”
"You're underestimating our public opinion propaganda team."
Professor Ning also laughed and shook his head slightly: "Not only ordinary people, even meteorologists will believe it." Because this model, theoretically, it is indeed possible to achieve this effect. ”
Lu Ming was taken aback: "It's true?" ”
"Of course. It's just that the conditions are extremely demanding, and it is only theoretically possible. Moreover, the relevant factors involved, our current technology is also not affected. So there's no way to reproduce it in reality. But it is enough to explain the incident. After all, it's a coincidence, a series of coincidences, it can't be repeated, and no one can find fault with it. ”
"That's right."
Lu Ming thought about it, and it felt like it was true.
"Is there anything else you'd like to inquire about?"
"Nope."
"Okay, that's it for this time."
Lu Ming got up and shook hands with Professor Ning.
"I'm waiting to hear you tell me these stories next time."
"Don't worry."
Leaving the research room, outside, Zhang Dingshan, He Wei, and Lu Qingliang were already waiting.
He Wei complained: "Lu Ming, you are the slowest every time. Is there so much to say? The staff of the research room can handle it casually. ”
Lu Ming scratched his head: "I'll pay attention next time." ”
"Alright, let's go, it's getting late."
"Where?"
"Nonsense, let's have dinner! Walk around, don't ink. ”
"Let's go!"
……
In a remote and quiet restaurant in the capital city, with private dishes as the signboard, the four of them had a full meal.
Even Zhang Dingshan, who has never drunk a drop of alcohol, made an exception to drink two glasses this time.
The atmosphere of the banquet was very relaxed, and several people talked and laughed, and hours passed before they knew it.
"This mission is finally over."
Feeling the relaxation during the banquet, Lu Ming was very emotional.
He Wei glanced at him: "That's not necessarily. Maybe another monster will pop up at some point. ”
"Crow's beak! You can't hope for something good! ”
Lu Qingliang complained.
He Wei immediately retorted: "I call this being prepared for danger in times of peace!" Where is it like you, there is no sense of crisis. ”
Zhang Dingshan smiled and watched the two of them bickering, and waited for the two to stop before saying: "Even if there are still fish that have slipped through the net, under the premise that we already know the truth of this incident and continue to monitor them strictly, they will not be able to make waves in the past ten years."
In terms of biotech and medical technology, breakthroughs can happen at any time. Once there is a breakthrough, just like Lu Ming speculated, it is very likely that we will find out this pathogenic factor.
When we find the causative factor, we take the initiative. The monsters are even less likely to make a fuss. ”
Lu Ming nodded: "I feel that there is also a window period for the Demon Eye Galaxy to infect the rest of the civilization creatures through this mode. For a civilization, as long as it has passed this window, it does not have to worry about this matter anymore. And our human civilization now seems to be about to pass by. ”
"I hope so."
"Don't talk about that. The mission is over, how are you going to spend this holiday? ”
He Wei asked this question with great interest.
Zhang Dingshan said: "I'll go home to accompany Xiao Lizi." ”
Lu Qingliang said sullenly: "Stay at the headquarters, where else can you go." ”
Lu Ming said: "I'll go home too." ”
"It's boring. I'm still going to pick up what I didn't finish last time, I'm going to go by car. ”
Lu Qingliang looked at a few people, and suddenly laughed: "Don't be in a hurry to go tomorrow, there are new regulations in the department, for the team that successfully completes the task, according to the difficulty, contribution, disposal results, etc., different levels of rewards must be carried out." ”
Lu Qingliang originally thought that a few people would be excited, but he didn't expect that all three of them looked like they were lacking in interest.
"What other rewards do you need, food, clothing, housing, housing, work, pension, treatment, children's schooling, all of them have been solved, and there is no place to spend the reward money."
Lu Ming could feel that his teammates in the second team of Action were actually the same as himself, and they were all people with low material desires.
For money, power, etc., several people don't have much pursuit. is also a He Wei, because she likes to travel and have fun everywhere, visit food everywhere, etc., and spend more money. But it doesn't really cost much either.
He's feeling fine right now.
"This time the reward is different. You must be interested. ”
"Oh?"
Lu Ming really had curiosity.
"What is it?"
"Don't worry, we'll find out tomorrow."
"It's still selling."
He Wei pursed her lips again, extremely disdainful.
Although she was disdainful, He Wei followed Lu Qingliang and Lu Ming to Zhang Dingshan's house the next day. Because according to Lu Qingliang, this reward is directly distributed to the family.
chatting with Zhang Dingshan's mother, teasing the little pear, several people waited for a while, and then heard the sound of gongs and drums outside.
Zhang Li, who likes to be lively, jumped and rushed to the gate, and several people also went over. When he saw the scene at the door, Lu Ming was instantly dumbfounded.
He saw a lot of people, many people in uniform, with serious and solemn expressions, walking forward in an extremely neat queue, as if they were holding some kind of grand government ceremony.
This posture ...... There are hundreds of them.
This is not counting the people who maintain order, block the streets, and set up cordons, not to mention the people on both sides of the street watching the excitement.
At the front of the procession, there were four uniformed personnel holding a huge mahogany plaque with several large characters on it: "Home of Special Meritorious Heroes".
Some government officials came over to shake hands with Zhang Dingshan with a smile on their faces, and took Zhang Dingshan's mother's hand very warmly: "Auntie, you have taught a good son...... Comrade Zhang Dingshan has made great contributions to civilization and the people......"
Mother Zhang's face was full of smiles and she was very pleased. Zhang Li looked at the official with expectation: "Uncle, is my father a hero?" ”
The official smiled and nodded: "Yes." Comrade Zhang Dingshan is the hero of all mankind! ”
"Daddy is a hero! Daddy is a hero! ”
Zhang Li jumped with cheers. Next to her, several children who seemed to be Zhang Li's friends and classmates looked at her with envy.
The array of uniformed personnel stopped and saluted Zhang Dingshan in unison. The officer commanded the personnel to bring the ladder and hang the plaque.
The onlookers applauded and cheered at the same time.
Although it is impossible for people to know what Zhang Dingshan did, they know that what Zhang Dingshan did must be extremely significant. And such a major event is very likely to be directly related to the interests of civilization, as well as its own interests.
Zhang Dingshan looked solemn, and solemnly raised his arm to salute the people.
Looking at Zhang Dingshan in the center of his line of sight, Lu Ming's eyes suddenly showed envy.
He is very satisfied with his current life, and his desire for material things is not very strong. But it would be great if the work I was doing made my parents and sister proud and proud of me, and brought glory to the family.
Lu Qingliang squeezed Lu Ming and said, "Don't worry, you are also a special hero, and I will send you home in a few days." How's that, this ceremony, it's strong enough, right? ”
Lu Ming nodded sincerely: "It's really strong." What about you? ”
"Me?"
Lu Qingliang sighed: "It's a second-class merit." ”
"Send it to your house too?"
Lu Qingliang waved his hands around: "Don't you dare, I don't even dare to let them know." If they want to know that I have made a second-class meritorious service, they may think that I am in great danger, and maybe they will take me home and inherit the family property. ”
Thinking of Lu Qingliang's family situation, Lu Ming thought so.
"What about He Wei?"
"He Wei is a first-class merit. The boss said that you made a precise judgment, the captain decisively activated the emergency clause, and both of you played a key role, so both of you are special. He Wei charged into battle, first-class merit. ”
Lu Ming was a little indignant: "It should all be special." In the past few missions, you and He Wei have also played a key role. ”
He Wei shook her head and said in a low voice: "It's okay with me, it doesn't matter. Qingliang, follow up and say, my first-class merit, just remember it, don't need a plaque. ”
Her expression seemed a little lonely.
Lu Ming immediately said, "Why not?" How glorious it is. ”
He Wei rolled her eyes: "I don't even have a home, where do I want the sign to hang?" Hanging at the door of the dormitory? ”
She was an orphan and had no home.
Although she also has a house that she is assigned to in the area, she is troublesome and usually lives in a dormitory when she is not traveling.
Lu Ming was silent for an instant.
He had ignored it before.
Lu Qingliang said: "This ...... The brands are all made, or you can collect them and become a collectible......"
He Wei thought about it for a while, and said with interest: "Lu Ming, it's better to send it to your house with your brand, you can keep it for me." ”
"Uh, this ...... Okay, that's fine. ”
Lu Ming wanted to say that it was not appropriate, but after thinking about it, he agreed.
It was lively at Zhang Dingshan's house for a day, and the next day, a group of four people went straight to Lu Ming's house.
Seeing his son and younger brother again after such a long time, Lu Cheng, Li Guizhi and his wife, and his sister Lu Yuju were all overjoyed.
Lu Ming originally thought that after hearing that he had won a special meritorious service, his family should be even happier. But what I didn't expect was that my parents and sister were scared at the same time. Mother Li Guizhi pounced even more, carefully examined Lu Ming's body little by little, and said, "Xiao Ming, where is the injury?" ”
After confirming that Lu Ming had achieved some "technical" contributions, without the slightest danger or injury, several people regained their joy.
After a lively day, after hearing that He Wei had also made meritorious contributions, but because he was an orphan and had no home, he wanted to put the plaque in his home, Li Guizhi looked a little weird, and began to secretly add a large number of He Wei. A smile appeared on the corner of Lu Yu's mouth.
After arranging for several people to rest, Li Guizhi and Lu Yu pulled Lu Ming into the room.
Carefully closing the door, Li Guizhi put on an interrogation posture.
"Xiao Ming, you and He Wei are in love?"
Lu Ming felt a little confused: "Where is this, there is no such thing." ”
Lu Yu said: "My mother and I can see that He Wei is a good girl, and her family supports you, you can't start and give up." ”
Lu Ming felt a great wrong. There are too many slots, I don't know where to start.
"You see, everyone has to put the plaque in our house, doesn't this clearly mean that they want to be a family with you? Why are you so pig-headed! ”
Lu Yu poked Lu Ming fiercely, full of hatred for iron and steel: "How well do you let the girl say it?" ”
Lu Ming couldn't cry or laugh: "Don't think about it, He Wei likes me?" How can it be. We are colleagues, comrades-in-arms, what is this? ”
After distinguishing for a long time, Lu Ming fled in the wilderness.
The next day, the seven aunts and eight aunts were all invited to Lu Ming's house, and there was a flowing water seat directly in the downstairs community, whether they knew it or not, they could come and take a seat, Lu Cheng was also ruthless, and took out his private money to buy good cigarettes and wine, unlimited supply.
The liveliness is like a wedding banquet, just like the red carpet and flower door.
At noon, when the crowd was at its highest, the sound of gongs and drums came from outside. A large number of security officers set up a cordon to maintain order, and government officials at all levels also arrived, accompanied by a phalanx of hundreds of people, a plaque of the home of a special meritorious hero, and a plaque of a first-class meritorious hero's home, a total of two, and at the same time moved to Lu Ming's family and the four members of the second action team.
Looking at the envious eyes of his parents' old neighbors and friends, looking at the faces of Lu Cheng, Li Guizhi, and Lu Yu who were red because of excitement, and listening to the cheers and applause of the onlookers, Lu Ming, who was wearing a big red flower, felt extremely satisfied.
For this moment, no matter how much he pays and how much danger he endures, Lu Ming feels that it is worth it.
