Chapter 42: Tonic Ointment

"The data you brought back from Denver was important, it gave us a whole new kind of data to refer to, and we combed and organized the data further.... But..."

A look of regret appeared on the string's face.

"Our research strength is still insufficient, and the materials here are so barren that we can't really do much, so I'm sorry to tell you one thing, the Great Dome's attempt to develop a vaccine failed."

Andy is not disappointed, he has already said before that it may be the result.

"It's okay, thank you for putting together the data further, you can give me the data, I know there's another place that may have R&D qualifications... Although I haven't found my way there yet. ”

Xian only thought that Andy was joking again, and didn't care.

"Although we can't develop a vaccine, we still have some results, combined with our previous drug, we have successfully developed a tonic cream that can make the virus dormant, after taking it, the disease will be temporarily suppressed, and the spread of the virus will be contained."

She pulled out a box of black paste, which seemed to be the so-called tonic paste.

"We are sure that taking it is effective for the patient, and only a few common materials are needed....

Andy suddenly had an idea.

"That's great, don't you have a platform here, and the railroad is smooth, right?"

String nodded suspiciously.

"But there are no trains in the Dome, and we don't have railroad links with other places."

Andy was excited.

"It's okay, when Eddie fixes his car, you can go to Dog City and establish contact with the NCR, their signal transmitters have been repaired, let them send the materials you need to the Dome and then you can send the tonic paste out, we can send the tonic paste to the various settlements by rail, at least this will alleviate the epidemic that is getting worse now."

The two discussed the details for a while, and Yuxian went to inform Eddie to take Paul and James to Dog City, which meant that they would have to hang around in protective suits for a long time.

Andy would have liked to go, but now he still needs to be observed after surgery.

He picked up the small box and ate the black ointment inside, but he didn't expect the taste to be a strange sour and bitter taste, which made people's tongue numb.

"It's unpalatable."

The string nodded to indicate that it was bitter.

"It won't make people eat too much, and medicine shouldn't be delicious in the first place."

.............

In the underground freezer area, Dr. Goddard was standing silent in front of a freezer, staring at the transparent part of the freezer, where a young girl with a bald head was lying.

The tonic ointment has been injected into her body, which will at least save her life....

But without the vaccine, she still can't be thawed.

For a long time, everyone has done a lot of effort to save this most critically ill colleague, especially Dr. Agnes, who even came to monitor Nina's physical condition in person, spending a lot of energy, which once seriously interfered with her research plan.

Looking at Nina in the freezer, Dr. Goddard's eyes became more and more complicated.

His right hand came out of his coat pocket and slowly moved towards a button.

Closer, closer and closer....

Just as his fingers were about to touch the button, a hand jerked at Dr. Goddard's hand.

He turned his head to see Dr. Agnes' shocked eyes.

"What do you want to do Kaliningodad?"

Dr. Agnes looked at him almost in exasperation, his hands gripping tightly.

Because if she hadn't happened to be here, the power supply to Nina's freezer would have been shut down by Dr. Goddard, and in less than a minute, she would have turned into a corpse, and thawing would have caused another blow to her overwhelmed organs, and she would never have a chance to wake up again.

Dr. Goddard's expression didn't change.

"Nina is done, and there's no point in wasting any more time on her."

Agnes shook her head.

"If I tell anyone about this, do you know what people think of you, you inhuman old thing, do you remember how you abused Dr. Prester?"

Goddard knew this, so he withdrew his hand.

"I know.... I didn't want to tell anyone, so I let Nina die in an accident caused by a malfunctioning equipment, we can't develop a vaccine, we can't save her... You've been spending unnecessary energy on her before, but what's the point of everything if she's hopeless in the first place? ”

Dr. Agnes did not debate the issue with him.

"That thing aside, I want to know one thing now, and that is what kind of existence Nina is in your heart."

Dr. Goddard could not answer, and was silent.

Dr. Agnes sighed and asked a different question.

"Or what kind of feelings do you think Nina has for you?"

This time Dr. Goddard responded.

"Of course I know that she has a lot of respect for me... But sometimes I feel like it's a bit too much, and she even shaves her head because of me..."

Dr. Agnes asked directly.

"In other words, you think Nina has a love for you?"

Dr. Goddard touched his bald head.

“........ Probably, I don't know much about this aspect of things, and I'm naturally cold to this aspect. ”

Dr. Agnes suddenly realized.

"Actually, her feelings for you are not the love of men and women, I can see it very clearly, the way she looks at you is the way a daughter looks at her father, I am very familiar with that kind of look."

Dr. Goddard furrowed an eyebrow, his expression a little stunned.

"Father? ....”

He looked at Nina in her sleep, her face full of incredulity.

"How so?"

Agnes shook her head and left.

Dr. Goddard stood there alone and looked at Nina, not moving for a long time. ..............

Andy stayed in the room for a while and started to get bored.

He runs out of the room, and String says she's going to do research and won't talk to Andy anymore, so Andy starts messing around.

It wasn't long before he noticed the backbone duo of the Great Dome, James and Dr. Donald, who were under the orders of Dr. Goddard.

The two of them were listening to each other, and James was talking to Donald with a smile on his face, and Donald was listening intently, occasionally taking notes.

Andy slipped over and heard James bragging.

If you want girls to notice you, you have to learn from me!

James is giving Donald some kind of coaching.

"To have an expression, to have a charismatic expression, to smile, to raise eyebrows, to throw flattering eyes.... Of course, everyone's style is different, and you might want something a little more masculine, the tough one! ”

"To take the initiative, to have taste, to know that as a man, you have to give women a sense of security, and you have to make others feel that you are powerful!"

"Be personal! Be aggressive! Have the status of a conqueror! ”

.......

Andy listened to it for a long time, and felt more and more that this guy had changed from a good talk at the beginning to a misguided child later.

So he walked out decisively.

"With those alone, without sincerity, it will be empty in the end."

Andy walked up to James.

"Be honest with each other, don't boast about something that is false, doesn't the lie be shattered with more contact? Be yourself well and correct yourself with your own judgment, that is meaningful and long-lasting. ”

James glanced at Andy, smiled awkwardly and left.

Donald seemed to be a little touched by Andy's words.

.............

Three days later, Andy's observation period expired, and Dr. Goddard gave him a simple cognitive test and strength test again, and was convinced that the implant in Andy's body was in good condition.

String brings new news to Andy, and Eddie's truck has been repaired.

Andy and Paul immediately follow Eddie to Dog Town, disarm the mines that Jack had planted, and help Paul get the opportunity to borrow a transmitter from Potter.

The Hoover Dam took the news back from scientists very seriously, guaranteeing that the train would soon be on its way to the Dome to provide all the necessary supplies and help distribute the tonic paste.

A few days later, Andy was overjoyed to see the new prompt, which meant he had plenty of time to find a vaccine.

[Because of the effect of the tonic cream, the spread of the epidemic is less efficient, and the rate of increase in values is slowed down.] ]
