Chapter 14 So Serious?
Although Professor Chen from Zhongjing University did not say a word to blame Zhang Zhongyu in the report, his words completely put the responsibility for the situation facing Zhongjing City on Zhang Zhongyu.
It is precisely because of the concealment that the virus has now formed a climate and becomes uncontrollable! This is what Professor Chen means. If possible, Zhang Zhongyu hopes that Professor Chen can shut up forever, but he has no way to do with Zhongjing University.
The education system and the medical system are completely different systems. Chen teaches Zhang Zhongyu.
The most fatal thing is that Professor Chen's words are far more convincing than Zhang Zhongyu's own speech without any solid evidence.
"Professor Chen, is your conclusion too serious? You predict that in five days, the number of new virus infections in Zhongjing City will be 10,000 every day? How is this possible?"
Zhang Zhongyu's eyes turned dark, and his eyes were full of fierceness, and he wanted to kill Professor Chen! The number predicted by Tong Weizhong was only one thousand people. Professor Chen, an old guy, actually reported that 10,000 people went up. What was he trying to do?
"There is nothing impossible. Based on the measures taken by the government now, the number I estimate is still calculated in an optimistic direction. Because we now know how many viruses are carrying in Zhongjing City, I can only ask Professor Wu from the Department of Mathematics to make a mathematical model."
"And this model is the most optimistic one."
Zhang Zhongyu couldn't help it anymore. He stood up quickly and said hoarsely: "Professor Chen, is your research result too alarmist? Everyone knows how weak the survival ability of this virus that relies on saliva and sneeze is!"
"Normal, your point of view is not wrong, but have you not listened to me? This time the virus was created artificially, not a new virus that was naturally produced, and its capabilities have been strengthened!"
"If there is no special medicine, our ability to heal this virus is less than one-tenth of that of the common cold."
"Man-made? Your evidence?" Zhang Zhongyu believed that the virus incident was a human factor, but he did not say that the virus was created artificially. This is completely different, and the severity level is fundamentally different.
"My report is included, Dean Zhang, you can read it yourself!"
"Okay! Stop quarrel! Professor Chen, can you be responsible for the reports you made?"
"Of course!"
"Secretary Zhao intends to notify Zhongjing City to enter Level 4 martial law. From tomorrow, all schools, factories, shops, and all holidays must be on duty. They are required to wear masks!"
"The martial law time, three days, will be extended depending on the degree of development of the situation!"
"Director Feng, I ask all the personnel of your Criminal Security Bureau to be dispatched. In addition to implementing martial law orders, we must find out the virus spreaders hidden in the dark!"
"The public security office and other departments should fully cooperate with the Imperial Medical Bureau and must cut off the transmission chain of the virus and no new sources of transmission infection will appear!"
Once he made a decision, Zhang Zhaohui decisively began to issue orders. During this period, he did not mention Zhang Zhongyu at all.
The outcome of Zhang Zhongyu depends on the development of the virus in the future. If the virus really spreads on a large scale as Professor Chen said, then no one can save him.
If the situation is not serious, then he may escape this crisis. But is this possibility really there? The people present are not optimistic. If Professor Chen did not submit his report, Zhang Zhongyu would still have a little vitality and even have a chance to turn around, such as really finding a virus spreader.
The credibility of imperial scholars is quite powerful, especially Professor Chen, who is well-known throughout the country, even if he is a three-month official, he must pay attention to his opinions.
This is also the reason why Zhang Zhaohui immediately changed his previous decision and issued a martial law order after listening to Professor Chen's report.
After arranging the matters, everyone was about to leave, but Professor Chen was kept by Zhang Zhaohui.
"Professor Chen, I'm not convenient to ask some of my words just now. If there are too many people and talkative words, it is very likely to cause greater anxiety if the information is spread."
As for scholars, Zhang Zhaohui put away the majesty he had just expressed and became kind.
"What does Mayor Zhang want to ask? I basically have everything in my report!" Professor Chen has been studying science all year round, and this aspect is a bit worse.
Zhang Zhaohui understood this, so he asked straight to the point: "Professor Chen, the question I want to ask is actually the source of this virus. The information given to me by the intelligence department is indeed a human-spreading virus."
"And their experts told me that although artificially created viruses have increased their power in a certain aspect, they will inevitably weaken their capabilities in a certain aspect at the cost. However, according to your research report, the power of the virus this time is obviously too powerful."
"I need you to explain the difference between this in detail. The actions the government will take next need a reference!"
Professor Chen organized the language in his heart, and then slowly said: "Mayor Zhang, from a certain perspective, what you said just now is not wrong. But that is just an ordinary situation. The virus we face this time is an exception."
"After the hospital gave us the virus sample, it was found that this new virus mutates very quickly. We want to study vaccines unless the original virus sample is found."
"The reason why the mortality rate of the virus is not high is that the empire's medical technology can fundamentally improve the human body's resistance and offset the power of the virus. If this virus is placed abroad, especially in the West, I believe that the mortality rate of the virus will increase by dozens of percentage points."
"One conclusion I did not write in the report is that this virus seems to have been specifically optimized for the racial characteristics of the empire. Because there is no evidence, it is not written in it, but its possibility is very high."
After listening to Professor Chen's words, there was no change. He thought for a while before whispering: "Professor Chen, what do you mean is that someone has specially developed this virus to target the empire?"
"That's right. After the empire changed its reign, it attached great importance to medical care, but most of the medical resources were tilted towards traditional Chinese medicine, and the importance of Western medicine was not high. Western medical research has emerged in recent years, and their research has penetrated into the genetic level."
"We already feel helpless in the face of some Western medicine's methods!"
"You mean, our Chinese medicine is behind?" Zhang Guanghui didn't believe this. You should know that the so-called Western medicine was originally the superficial development of traditional Chinese medicine. Now that Western medicine surpasses traditional Chinese medicine, he certainly doesn't believe it anymore.
"How is this possible? Western medicine is not as good as our traditional Chinese medicine! But in recent years, they have taken a new path and have taken a new path. In fact, they can greatly promote traditional Chinese medicine, but we have ignored this information!"
"This incident is a lesson. The new virus shows that the other party has made great progress in genetic research!"
"Professor Zhang, please give me a real idea! What price do we need to pay for this virus!" Zhang Guanghui only has a superficial understanding of medical skills, so he has no idea about the dispute over the superiority of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. He only needs to know how to deal with this virus incident.
"In fact, it is not scary at all just to cut off the transmission route of the virus! Now we have taken action. If there is no new source of infection, then the virus will not be able to spread after all the newly infected people appear."
"However, the number of people infected by the virus, even if properly controlled, will increase to more than 10,000."
When Zhang Guanghui heard the number of 10,000 people, he was shocked. Although this number is inconspicuous compared to the number of 20 million people in Zhongjing City, the most fatal fluctuations it caused.
"I understand! Thank you Professor Chen!"
"There! This is what I should have done!"
"Professor Chen, after you go back, you must speed up the research on the virus, let the vaccine appear as soon as possible, give citizens a calming agent, and crush the enemy's conspiracy!"
"I will!" This responsibility was too great, and Professor Chen's heart trembled.
After Professor Chen left, a figure appeared behind Zhang Guanghui.
"How true do you think what Professor Chen said is?"
"It's hard to say! But you must be careful."
"I have to be careful! It's so damn, it's this time!"
