Back To The Age Of The '80s

"How is the result?"

"This is the inspection report for the past three days. We do a comprehensive inspection for them every six hours. As expected, because the second virus injection has very little effect on the serval, almost negligible."

"What about Africa? How are they doing?" On the eve of Li Zheng's return to Xiangjiang, the University of Cape Town contacted him and offered to undertake part of the experiment.

Li Zheng was not polite to them either, and handed over the most tedious job of screening to them.Experiments show that not all cats carry polygram virus antibodies.

The serval cat is the only animal known to carry antibodies at this stage.

African countries, especially Doman, suddenly became nervous. The country issued three consecutive decrees within a day, strictly prohibiting any organization or individual from hunting serval cats. Doman even directly listed it as a national first-level protected animal.

When Li Zheng heard the news, he was stunned for a moment, and then a strange look appeared on his face. Did he change the fate of a group of people?

Before the serval cat was included in the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora in 2006, the inaction of African countries was also the main reason why it was hunted in large numbers.

As soon as the news that serval cats carry Doc virus antibodies comes out, presumably the poaching behavior of the people will be greatly reduced, and the threat to the survival of serval cats will also be greatly reduced.

"Keep close contact with the University of Cape Town at all times. I need their help for some experiments that are not convenient for us." Li Zheng said in a deep voice.

"Okay." Zhang Yuejun replied.

As the experiment progressed step by step, Li Zheng began to miss the experimental equipment of later generations. If 30 years later, he could completely simulate the virus antibody model and the action process on the computer, but now...

Li Zheng pursed his lips, resigned himself to manually recording the experimental data, and constructed related models on the original computer.

In June 1984, Huajing publicly put forward the slogan of "one country, two systems, Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong, and a high degree of autonomy". For a while, discussions inside and outside Xiangjiang Island were raging. Explaining the concept of "one country, two systems" indicates that the game between China and Britain has entered a fever pitch.

From summer to late autumn, pedestrians on the road put on thick windbreakers. The negotiation between Huaying and Ying has come to an end. The atmosphere in Xiangjiang seemed to become tense all of a sudden. The calm before the storm is shocking.

December 1984, 12, Huajing Great Hall of the People

It was not the first time for Li Zheng to come to the Great Hall of the People. He remembered that when he came last time, he stood on the podium and spoke.And today he is just a spectator.

But his mood today is more exciting than ever before.He never thought that he would have the opportunity to witness this scene with his own eyes. Li Zheng's hands were tightly clenched into fists, his breathing became a little heavy, and his body trembled slightly because of the excitement.

Liang Zhe at the side put his hand on Li Zheng's clenched right hand.

The blazing heat coming from the palm relieved Li Zheng's tense nerves a little.

Two months ago, Li Zheng's laboratory finally screened out 48 substances that might be antibodies from the serval cat.Everyone cheered in the laboratory like a traveler who finally saw the light after walking in the dark for a long time.

At this moment, Zheng Lingling received a call, saying that a woman named Zhao Qiuhua was looking for Li Zheng outside.

When Li Zheng heard this name, he frowned, but he was invited in anyway.

He took off his protective clothing, put on a white coat, and walked outside.

Zhao Qiuhua stood in the yard, her professional female attire was a bit sharper than what Li Zheng saw at the banquet.

"You're here." Li Zheng said.

He hesitated, "Would you like to sit inside?"

Zhao Qiuhua gave Li Zheng a complicated look, "No need. I'm here to deliver something this time." After speaking, she handed over an envelope.

On the upper right corner of the envelope is a Tamron stamp, a Tamron ticket from [-], which will be worth a lot of money in later generations.

"Aren't you going to take it apart and have a look?"

Li Zheng was startled, and then he opened the envelope. Inside was a piece of exquisite letter paper, and on the back of the letter paper was a photocopy of the pair of "So many beautiful mountains and rivers" hanging in the Great Hall of the People in Huaguo.

Unfolding the letter paper, it turned out to be a handwritten invitation letter.

"Mr. Li Zheng is specially invited to be the guest of honor at the signing ceremony of the Huaying Joint Statement." The strong and powerful calligraphy, and the arrogance revealed between the lines is shocking.

Yes, it is already October.Li Zheng remembered that on September 1984, 9, the heads of the respective delegations of Huaying and Ying signed the Huaying joint statement on the Xiangjiang issue, and the official signing of this statement was in December this year.

Watch the ceremony!

Li Zheng took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.He had the opportunity to witness this great moment with his own eyes!

"The British side has already compromised. In 1997, Xiangjiang will definitely return to the embrace of Huaguo. Although the people of Xiangjiang still have many misunderstandings and fears about Huaguo, I believe that with our efforts and media propaganda, Xiangjiang's sense of identity with China will become higher and higher!" When Zhao Qiuhua said this, his eyes were shining.

Li Zheng gave this woman a complicated look. Although he is in the laboratory, he still knows a thing or two about the changes in the outside world. Not long ago, the founder of Xiangjiang Daily officially announced his retirement and handed over this great paper media empire to Gave it to his son, Shen Hongji.

As soon as Shen Hongji took over the Heung Kong Newspaper, the Heung Kong Daily changed its neutral policy and spread the concept and slogan of "one country, two systems, Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong". If this had nothing to do with Zhao Qiuhua, Li Zheng would not believe it.

Maybe this woman is not a good wife or mother, but in terms of patriotism, she is no worse than anyone else.

"Thank you, I will go." Li Zheng said.

Zhao Qiuhua finally showed a real smile on her face, she raised her hand slightly, as if she wanted to pat Li Zheng's shoulder, hesitated for a moment, then lowered it again.

"Then, I'll go first." She said and turned to leave.

The three-month-old belly was already slightly swollen, and Li Zheng thought of the dark circles under her eyes, and couldn't help but say, "Pregnant women need more rest."

Zhao Qiuhua paused, his eyes were slightly red, "Thank you."

Li Zheng walked back with the invitation letter. Zheng Lingling, who was making coffee for everyone, saw him and glanced behind him.

"Didn't Editor-in-Chief Zhao come in and sit down?"

"Editor Zhao?" Li Zheng frowned slightly.

"It's Zhao Qiuhua. She was kicked out by Mrs. Shen, and Mr. Shen didn't stop her. It was spread in Xiangjiang circles because of the newspaper. Mr. Shen never wanted Xiangjiang newspaper to stand in line, while Mrs. Shen preferred British side. But editor-in-chief Zhao personally wrote a report explaining Huajing’s ruling philosophy.”

"She is still pregnant with a child, but she lives in the newspaper office and refuses to leave. In the past few months, she has been watching the subordinates to make the newspaper."

Li Zheng was silent for a while, "How do you know so clearly?"

Zheng Lingling: "My second mother's sister-in-law's daughter works as an accountant at Xiangjiang Newspaper."

Li Zheng...

The Chinese and British delegations entered the arena one by one from both sides, and the auditorium was visibly commotioned.

The leader of the Huajing side has gray temples but is hale and hearty. He has a smile on his face. This is a gentle and refined face, but it reveals a sense of domineering.

Mrs. Thatcher, headed by the British side, had exquisite makeup, but her lips were tightly pursed.

The leaders of the two parties took their seats, and the scene fell silent, and everyone in the auditorium couldn't help but hold their breath.

In the center of the long table covered with dark green velvet cloth, a red leather-covered statement has been placed. The leaders of the two sides signed the joint statement on behalf of their governments with Huaguo's desktop hero gold pen.

When the last stroke fell, the audience burst into warm applause.

Li Zheng could see that the representatives of Xiangjiang people watching the ceremony had complex expressions, some relaxed, some lost, some confused, while the people watching the ceremony not far away from Huaguo were full of joy, and all of them had joy on their faces. look.

Xiangjiang is not far from returning!

Li Zheng laughed softly, "I'm very happy."

Liang Zhe held his hand, "If you are happy, I will be happy too."

Li Zheng didn't stay in Huajing for a long time. It wasn't because he deliberately avoided Zhao Mu and Zhao Qiuhua, but because news came from Li Zheng's laboratory that the antibody had been found.

The probability of Duoman's newborns being infected with Doc virus is very high. The sooner the vaccine comes out, the less tragedy will be. Therefore, as soon as Xiangjiang's call came, Li Zheng got on the plane back to Xiangjiang that day.

"How about it!"

"These are two selected from 48 substances, and they are both highly sensitive to the virus. After experiments on guinea pigs, the two have certain resistance to the virus, but it is still relatively difficult to develop a vaccine with this."

Zhong Peng said, and handed a thick stack of experimental data to Li Zheng.

While observing the guinea pigs, Li Zheng quickly flipped through pages of paper.

"Impossible, if this is the reaction, the serval can't be immune to Doc virus! Something must be missing! Something must be missing!" Li Zheng muttered to himself.

Li Zheng repeated the simulation experiment one by one as if no one else was there.

"Mr. Zhong..." Seeing the hour hand approaching twelve o'clock, Zhang Chao couldn't help but said, "Mr. Li Zheng..."

Zhong Peng shook his head, "Don't bother him now. You two go upstairs to find a room to rest, and I will accompany you."

"How can this work? We are young, so it doesn't matter if we stay up late, and Yue Jun and I will take turns."

"No need..." While the three were arguing, the door outside the laboratory was pushed open, and Liang Zhe skillfully put on protective clothing and walked towards them.

"You don't have to fight, I'll accompany him." He sat down on a stool not far from the experimental platform, turned his head and looked at Li Zheng who was bowing his head and doing the experiment without blinking.

Zhong Peng and others...
