Xueba's life simulator

Chapter 120
To talk about Barrick, his identity is really not simple, but we have to start talking about what happened in 03.

Before 2003, Ralph Barrick's biology lab at the University of North Carolina received so little sponsorship that Barrick was ready to quit and find other work.

But after 2003, Barrick's funding soared.

In 2012, MERS, also known as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, broke out. This disease is also a respiratory disease caused by a new type of coronavirus. The pathogen of MERS belongs to the same family of Coronaviridae as SARS.

It was also shortly after the outbreak of MERS in this year that Barrick's funding reached an unprecedented peak since he began to receive funding in 03. The total funding he received this year was US$6871244.

In 2013, Ralph Barrick received US$8985633 in funding.

……

After reading the written materials about Barrick, Zhou Ming didn't speak. He just stared blankly, thinking about things related to it.

In addition to thinking about things, Zhou Ming also called up his previous simulated text experiences from the life simulator, looking for related descriptions.

Finally, Zhou Ming seemed to have figured out something. He suddenly stood up from his chair, clapped his hands, and said to himself with a look of enlightenment: "So that's it, that's it, that's it. No wonder, no wonder they are behind. He always tried to kill me in several simulations."

After the excitement was over, Zhou Ming turned on the computer again, created a document, and started typing, not knowing what he was writing.

After about ten minutes, Zhou Ming named the document and saved it.

After that, Zhou Ming looked at several other folders in the file sent to him by the Information Resources Department, and then looked at the time. Finally, he decided to go to bed first and wait to watch other videos and audios tomorrow. Anyway, he had a lot time and shut down the computer.

After turning off the computer, Zhou Ming went to take a shower.

After taking a shower, Zhou Ming threw the dirty clothes into the washing machine, leaving only the underwear and socks, and he separated the two clothes and washed them by hand separately.

The trousers and socks were washed quite quickly. It didn't take long for Zhou Ming to wash these two clothes and hang them on the hangers on the balcony.

As for the clothes in the washing machine, it would take a while to wait for it to be washed. Naturally, Zhou Ming could not wait for the clothes in the washing machine to be washed and then hang them before going to bed. He went directly to bed, and the clothes in the washing machine were waiting. I'll dry it again tomorrow morning.

When he woke up the next morning, the first thing Zhou Ming had to do was to prepare to take a bunch of photos of the sunrise in the early morning. However, this morning was cloudy and the sun rising from the east could not be seen. Zhou Ming would not be able to complete this task today. .

After a simple wash, Zhou Ming went out early and went downstairs to a breakfast shop near the neighborhood to have breakfast.

Zhou Ming ordered a leek pancake, a bowl of camellia oleifera, and a deep-fried dough stick at this breakfast shop.

Camellia oleifera is not native to Luzhou, but has been passed down from the north. People in many places in the north like to drink camellia oleifera since ancient times. It is also a very famous snack in several places in the north. It is mainly made by frying flour and then Add butter or five kernels and other ingredients, boil it into a paste, and eat it for breakfast.

Camellia oleifera tastes soft, glutinous and salty, and has a long aftertaste. It is a rare and delicious specialty. Zhou Ming had never eaten it when he was a student at Metal Works University. He only ate it when he went to Jingu with Shen Qingqiu during the summer vacation.

In modern society, the population is highly mobile. The camellia here in Luzhou, at least the one at the breakfast shop that Zhou Ming ate in the morning, was passed down from the north by the boss.

After breakfast, Zhou Ming returned to his residence.

As for the breakfast fee, Zhou Ming had already paid for it after ordering.

After returning to the residence, Zhou Ming sat in front of the computer again and turned on the computer.

In the materials about Barrick sent to Zhou Ming by the Department of Information and Resources yesterday, Zhou Ming only read the text part last night, and he has not read the video materials and audio himself.

For a university professor like Barrick, his video data is not too much, only seven or eight hours.

The audio material is even less, just over two hours, less than three hours.

If Zhou Ming was watching the video and listening to the audio at double speed, he would be able to watch it in about five hours.

But Zhou Ming couldn't read it at double speed. After all, he wanted these materials to find information, and it was easy to miss information when he turned on double speed.

In the end, Zhou Ming spent a whole day watching and listening to the video and audio materials. When he finished browsing these materials, it was dark outside.

"Hey, I had lunch at twelve o'clock, and it's already seven o'clock now. I'm hungry, so I should go out to eat." After sitting in the room for a whole day, Zhou Ming stood up and stretched his waist. Started gurgling.

Zhou Ming usually eats at home sometimes, and he cooks by himself.

Sometimes, Zhou Ming would go out directly and meet casually in a small restaurant downstairs.

Therefore, whether to cook at home or go out to eat depends on Zhou Ming's mood.

After dinner, Zhou Ming returned to his residence and contacted the person in charge of the Information Resources Department, asking them to keep an eye on Ralph Barrick and his experiments and remember other related matters.

Seeing that it was still early, Zhou Ming sent a message to Shen Qingqiu, asking if he was in the dormitory or in the library tonight.

If Shen Qingqiu could reply Zhou Ming's message in time, then she was naturally in the dormitory, if she didn't reply in time, it meant she was in the library, Zhou Ming could easily confirm this.

Seeing that several minutes had passed since Shen Qingqiu had not replied to the message he had sent, Zhou Ming guessed that she must be in the library, and put her mobile phone on silent and put it in her schoolbag.

Therefore, Zhou Ming made a video call to his family first.

"Dad, where's my mother?" Zhou Ming's video call was for his mother, but it was his father who answered the call.

"Your mother is taking a bath. What do you want your mother to do? Is there anything different from what I said?" Zhou Ming's father said unhappily to Zhou Ming when he heard that Zhou Ming said that he was his mother, "You say you, Didn't you pay the teacher back to your mother before? Why do you always go to her first if you have anything?"

……

After Zhou Ming chatted with his parents for a while, he hung up the phone and started busying himself with his own affairs. It wasn't until Shen Qingqiu called him that he started a video chat with Shen Qingqiu for a while.
