Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1450 Bing Bing Artemisia

In the middle of the mountains, in the valley, is the No. 3 Research Base.

Bright lights.

A group of people were busy. After another experiment, everyone carefully tidied up the experiment site.

Outside the laboratory, there was a group of people in white coats standing, communicating softly. From time to time, some people were writing and drawing on notebooks.

The leading middle-aged man had wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. He stood there with his hands behind his hands without saying a word. There was a strong sense of oppression just standing there.

There were two other people standing beside him.

A middle-aged man with a one-eyed patch, thin figure, and his body was wrapped tightly.

One person was a slovenly middle-aged man with messy hair and a pencil in his hand that was spinning constantly.

Although these three people have different surnames, they are usually called boss, lao, second and laosan here, and outsiders regard them as three brothers.

In fact, the three of them are indeed brothers in life and death.

"Boss, how about we change direction?"

The middle-aged man with one eye asked, "Everyone is studying that virus now. I think we should keep up with the needs of the times and study it quickly!"

"It's best to research and understand it, develop the medicine, and contribute to the country."

"Second brother, I don't like hearing what you say."

"What's the point of keeping up with the times? Do we need to follow others and eat their ashes?"

The third child, the stationmaster in charge of this valley base, immediately retorted.

"Besides, if you follow others, let's not say whether it can be researched. Even if it is researched, with so many people studying it, sooner or later we will be able to develop countermeasures."

"Maybe if we figure it out here, someone else will complete the antidote. If you don't waste your time, you will always be one step behind others."

The third child said confidently, while the second child glanced at it and sneered, "I don't think you can figure it out."

"Nonsense, can't we figure it out?"

"We don't want to steal the second institute's job."

"The division of labor is very clear. We develop locks, and they develop lock keys."

"If this takes away people's jobs, wouldn't it mean that they are depriving people of their livelihood? You can't do it, you absolutely can't do it."

The third child looked like he was thinking about the overall situation and spoke very frankly.

The second child sneered after hearing this.

"Okay, stop talking. The effect of No. 6 in this experiment is good."

The boss spoke in a hoarse voice, and the two immediately shut their mouths.

Looking away from the laboratory, the boss looked at the two of them and said, "Third brother, the security here still needs to be strengthened."

"Especially future experiments will become more and more dangerous, so you have to be more careful."

The webmaster looked serious after hearing this, "Don't worry, we will conduct tests before and after each experiment. The next experiment will not be conducted until all hidden dangers are eliminated."

"And during the experiment, if any abnormality occurs, the entire laboratory will be closed and disinfected."

"It will never be leaked."

The webmaster said affirmatively, and both the boss and the second nodded.

When it comes to safety issues, Laosan is still very reliable.

buzz
While the three of them were talking, the warning light on the side suddenly turned on and buzzed at the same time, and then they heard voices coming from inside.

"Yes, Captain Wang."

The webmaster's expression changed as he recognized who it was.

"Old Wang, what's going on?"

"Stationmaster, we have a visitor."

Ten minutes later, conference room!

The three of them were sitting in the conference room, looking at the stern-faced old man in front of him, wearing an old military uniform and looking calm and powerful.

"I have said many times that everything here must be kept strictly confidential, and at the same time the highest level of protection must be provided. This is not only responsible for yourself, but also responsible for the country!"

"The results of it?"

"What's more important is that we don't know it yet and we let others find it out. Ask yourselves, is this right?"

The three of them lowered their heads, and then the leader raised his head again, "Chief, I am responsible for this matter."

"The superiors contacted us urgently at that time..."

The boss is well aware of the consequences of this matter. If we really pursue the matter, none of the three of them will be able to escape.

It's better to take the responsibility for the matter and protect the two brothers.

"No, chief, it's because we didn't do a good job in protection. The responsibility lies with me!"

The stationmaster spoke quickly, and the second man beside him also wanted to speak, but was interrupted by the old man.

"Speak clearly."

The three of them looked at each other, and then the stationmaster began to speak.

After a while, the three of them finished their supplements, and the office was silent again.

"That's what happened. It should be the last experiment. We didn't have time to clean up completely, so we encountered these people, and it happened to leak out."

The old man nodded silently after hearing this, "Although this matter is excusable, if it is wrong, it is wrong."

"Xu Rong, please prepare yourself. The organization will investigate."

"Tell the truth then!"

The webmaster's face was paralyzed, and he felt a million reluctances, but he could only admit it.

"Yes, Chief!"

Seeing this, the old man also knew that it was an accident, not to mention that nothing happened here over the years, and he worked conscientiously, so he revealed, "Of course, it was also mentioned above that the current situation is special and we need to cooperate with our brother departments to conduct research. "

"So, your work continues."

"I hope you will make up for your mistakes, cooperate with the brother departments, and complete the task as soon as possible."

The boss said something again, which immediately put a smile on the webmaster's face.

I don’t care about anything else, as long as I can continue research.

"Okay, I'll give you a call later, and you can contact the people in your brother's unit!"

"Remember, nothing here can be exposed."

"Also, try to meet the other party's requirements."

"You two just stay here and keep an eye on him so that he doesn't cause any more trouble."

"Yes. Understood."

The three people immediately stood up and said yes. The old man looked at the third child again before leaving the base.

After the matter was figured out, he had to go back and clear things up quickly, especially Lao Zhang, who was communicating with him. This time he accepted his feelings and had to express his feelings.

Superiors come and go quickly.

It was only ten minutes in between, but the mood of the three of them went up and down like a roller coaster.

"Let me just say, we shouldn't have let those people come last time."

When the third child saw his boss leaving, he immediately complained.

The boss turned away. He was the one who gave the order at that time.

But at that time, there was only one way.

Fortunately, things are still looking around.

The second child glanced at the boss, then stood up and said, "Okay, things have happened, think of a solution quickly."

"Didn't I ask you to cooperate with the research?"

"Hurry up and ask what's going on so we can make some preparations!"

"Also, what was the date you experimented with last time?"

When it comes to business, the webmaster immediately gets into the mood.

"No. 18, I remember it clearly."

"In that experiment, we used a local kind of kid as a carrier. As a result, nothing happened after a week of experiment."

"The experiment failed, which means that the cultivated No. 18 is very toxic and not suitable for transmission, and..."

Having said this, the webmaster was suddenly stunned, and then looked at the boss who was also stunned. "Why are you still standing there? Look for him quickly."

The second child also thought of something and immediately urged him.

The third child rushed out in a hurry.

……

The next day, it was dark.

In the conference room.

Ji Xiang was resting on the table. After staying up for most of the night, she was sleepy. She didn't care about her image at the moment, so she lay down and fell asleep.

On the side, Yang Xiaotao was leaning on a chair with his legs on the table, also snoring.

Boom…

Suddenly, a faint thunder sounded, waking the two of them up from their daze.

"It's thundering?"

Yang Xiaotao rubbed his sore thighs, stood up and walked to the window, looking at the gloomy sky.

Ji Xiang raised her head in confusion, then realized something, quickly wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, then smoothed her hair down, put on her white coat, then stood up and walked to the window.

"It is going to rain!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "One autumn rain and one cold."

"Yes, it's getting colder and the disease is harder to control. We have to speed up!"

Ji Xiang frowned and stared at the gloomier sky outside, feeling a sense of urgency in her heart.

Hearing this, Yang Xiaotao didn't speak, and his eyes still looked deep outside.

Research is not just playing house, nor is it always smooth sailing.

What's more, it's just showing signs now, and we might encounter some special problems next.

"Let the logistics comrades be prepared. The heaters and radiators must be installed in advance."

"Clothes and quilts must also be prepared in advance. Don't be careless."

"We must be prepared for a protracted war!"

Yang Xiaotao said softly, Ji Xiang took a deep breath and nodded.

In his eyes, a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, followed by a rumble.

patter
Raindrops fell on the window sill, and a gray dot suddenly appeared on the cement surface.

"It's raining!"

After breakfast, Yang Xiaotao came to the ward again to check the situation.

"Mr. Yang, this is the temperature monitoring from yesterday afternoon to now."

As soon as they arrived at the door of the ward, the nurse in charge of monitoring handed over the thermometer.

"How often do you monitor it now?"

"As instructed by Team Leader Wang, once every half hour."

"Monitor your temperature for five minutes each time!"

Yang Xiaotao read through the results and calculated in his mind for a moment. The repetition time was extended. This was good news.

"Have Team Leader Wang and the others arrived?"

"Come over before breakfast."

"Has the patient eaten?"

"Eat, as instructed, eat the eggs and drink the rice porridge!"

"Okay, pay attention to the patient's condition and report any abnormalities at any time. Don't be too troublesome."

"Ok!"

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, he stood at the door of the ward and looked at Alfat who was lying on the bed inside. At this moment, Alfat had woken up and turned his head slightly. When he saw Yang Xiaotao, he forced a smile.

Yang Xiaotao gave him a thumbs up and a smile on his face.

Alphat wanted to raise his hand, but was unable to do so. However, he still moved his fingers and gave a thumbs up.

Yang Xiaotao waved his hand and turned to leave.

But in my heart I sighed, time waits for no one!

I walked around the research institute again, and then came to Mr. Zhang’s office.

The guard at the door was about to salute when he saw Yang Xiaotao, but Yang Xiaotao waved his hand to stop him.

"Sleep?"

The guard nodded immediately, "I received the supplies at around three o'clock this morning!"

"I was snoring in there just now!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded, gently opened the door to reveal a crack, and saw Mr. Zhang laying on the ground beside him, sleeping soundly!
Close the door slowly.

"Let him sleep well!"

The guard nodded, and Yang Xiaotao turned and left, arriving at the warehouse.

This place is responsible for taking over supplies from various places, especially the herbs delivered, and placing them here.

When Yang Xiaotao came, he saw Lao Zhu leading people to check little by little.

The medicine you take into your mouth must not be careless.

If you make a mistake due to negligence, the consequences will be unpredictable!
Yang Xiaotao walked closer and looked at the two bags of grass leaves on the ground. Lao Zhu and Dean Wang were sitting on the ground, inspecting them with red eyes.

"Lao Zhu, Dean Wang, take a rest!"

Yang Xiaotao stepped forward to help and extended his hand to help.

"It's okay, just pick and choose. It'll be quick."

Lao Zhu said nonchalantly, and Dean Wang nodded.

"By the way, this is what you want!"

Lao Zhu handed a piece of Ligusticum with rhizome to Yang Xiaotao.

Reaching out to take it, Yang Xiaotao looked at it carefully.

In the past two days, he had only seen a few leaves, and this was the first time he saw their specific appearance.

The entire Ligusticum esculentum is only the size of a palm, but it has many leaves. The bottom ones are finger-long, and the top ones are only as big as the belly of a finger.

The body is light green, and there are some jagged edges around it.

"This thing is called bleating wormwood in our area, because it looks similar to an ordinary vegetable, but has a pungent nature. The sheep herders at home spread it out, and they bleat after eating it."

“But some goats like to eat it, it’s appetizing!”

As he spoke, Lao Zhu tore off a leaf and handed it to Yang Xiaotao, "Try it!"

Yang Xiaotao put it in his mouth without thinking much. As soon as he bit it, he felt numb in his mouth.

Bah bah
Hahaha

Dean Wang smiled on the side, "I was fooled by Lao Zhu yesterday."

Lao Zhu also smiled, "This is called Shennong tasting a hundred herbs. How can you know whether it tastes good or not if you don't taste it?"

Yang Xiaotao vomited several times before the taste in his mouth cleared. He didn't care about the two people's teasing, but asked, "Lao Zhu, do you have a lot of these things at your place?"

"More, that's more!"

"In the summer, you can just go to the riverside and the woods, and there will be huge tracts of that guy."

Lao Zhu said, but quickly shook his head, "But it can't happen now. It's autumn. Look, the eyes have become lighter. I guess there isn't much left in the field!"

Yang Xiaotao frowned upon hearing this, "There are as many as there are."

"If it works, we'll have to organize more people next year!"

"Then you still need to plant seeds. If you scatter this kind of seeds by the river, there will be a lot of seeds."

Lao Zhu smiled, but Dean Wang on the side shook his head, "Lao Zhu, if this thing is really effective, then it will not be a herbal medicine, but a life-saving medicine!"

"This thing is worth a lot of money!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded after hearing this, "Saving foreigners' lives is worth a lot of money!"

Lao Zhu opened his mouth wide and suddenly felt that their barren land was nothing.
