Chapter 289 Microsoft is really soft
"Professor Jacks, Reston City just sent a group of crab-eating monkeys."
Lynch, a Hispanic biological researcher, was reporting to his superiors on the biological samples recently received by the laboratory as usual.
"Okay, let's send them to the isolation room first."
The white scientist named Jacks nodded slightly and made corresponding arrangements as usual.
De Crete Biological Laboratory is the only highest protection research laboratory under the DOD in the United States with a level four biosafety protection level.
Microorganisms such as Ebola, smallpox, anthrax and plague are stored here.
Jacks has worked in this laboratory for sixteen years and is very familiar with various processing procedures.
However, just as he was about to sign the memorandum, Lynch said with some hesitation: "Professor, these monkeys have begun to show some symptoms, and extraction plans need to be made in advance."
It turned out that this batch of cynomolgus monkeys were imported from the Philippines and were originally planned to be used for medical research.
But soon after arriving at a primate isolation center in the United States, they began to develop anorexia, fever, and listlessness.
After four weeks, nearly one-third of the monkeys were dead.
Scientists dissected the dead monkeys and found that their internal parts were necrotic.
At first, scientists thought the condition was caused by monkey hemorrhagic fever.
The pathologist then sent the remaining viable tissue samples to the DeCrite Laboratory in the suburbs of Maryland for in-depth analysis.
After listening to Lynch's story.
Professor Jacks was stunned for a while, and then slowly said: "Then send them to the third-level laboratory. You don't need to wait for me. You can conduct observation experiments on them first to obtain some preliminary data.
.”
This level of laboratory is completely sealed and the room is under negative pressure. It is very safe and can handle most situations.
After arranging this matter, Professor Jacks left in a hurry.
He is going to Washington today to attend an important meeting.
According to news from some old friends, dod personnel will also attend.
The meaning of this is self-evident.
After Professor Jacks left, Lynch and another scientist, Thomas Gaisbert, immediately analyzed the samples sent.
During the course of their research, both of them sniffed up close cell culture bottles containing samples.
However.
A few days later.
Thomas identified under an electron microscope that the sample sent was not ordinary monkey fever at all, but a special variant of the pathogen.
It can even spread through direct contact and droplets.
This result shocked them.
It is obvious that the sample has reached the level four danger level and should be placed in a level four laboratory with the highest biological protection level.
This means that both Lynch and Thomas may have been infected.
The two reported the discovery to their superiors.
But they were very tacit and did not mention that they had been exposed to samples.
At the same time, nearly 200 people at the isolation center where monkeys are kept in Reston City had been exposed to sick monkeys, and the test results of 6 of them were red.
However, they don't have any symptoms.
After in-depth research, scientists discovered that they were infected with a certain subtype, which is fatal to apes but does not affect humans.
This is undoubtedly a relatively lucky discovery.
But for the sake of safety, the biological laboratory decided to cull the remaining monkeys.
Soon, they organized a small team to carry out the culling task.
Everyone wears protective clothing and is equipped with air-supply respirators.
In addition, they need to check every room the monkeys are in and make sure each monkey is sedated and euthanized.
At the same time, ensure that the protective clothing will not be scratched by monkeys.
However, while they were executing it, something unexpected happened.
There was a monkey in a room that escaped from its cage.
The room where the monkey was located was about nine meters long and fifteen meters wide. Several culling officers spent several hours failing to catch it. Instead, it escaped from the narrow ventilation window...
In order to avoid causing unnecessary panic, this information is kept strictly confidential.
After that, they completely sterilized the remaining isolation rooms.
Some scientists believe that the sample is for ape-like primates and will not cause harm to humans, which makes many people secretly relieved.
After a while, people almost forgot about it.
However, what they don't know is.
After this cynomolgus monkey escaped from the laboratory, the microorganisms in its body mutated again...
at the same time.
Driven by many parties, the war in Afghanistan finally broke out.
This incident immediately attracted the attention of the world.
After all, the 911 incident caused heavy economic losses to the United States.
What's more important is that this is simply a provocation.
This has been most intuitively reflected in the financial market. The Dow Jones and Nasdaq indexes are languishing and even have a tendency to drop again.
To this end, they must retaliate to deter potentially restless people, including consolidating the dominance of the U.S. dollar currency and oil energy fields...
The market rewards those who have foresight the most.
As a normal person, it is naturally impossible for Chen Weidong to forget some major events that have happened around the world.
It seems reasonable to take advantage of this unique advantage and earn huge profits.
The free donations that followed made people all over the country fall into a sea of joy.
However, only Chen Jie was heartbroken.
He does not object to Chen Weidong donating money, but this is too much.
What a waste!
Young! Too young!
If you don't become a householder, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, and you don't know the importance of money at all.
Two hundred billion US dollars is enough for him to retire directly.
You can even become the richest man in the world.
Life is like this, what else can I ask for?
Because of this, he couldn't even eat for several days.
Only Li Yun and others sincerely admired him.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Most people like to stand on the moral high ground and demand selfless dedication from others, but when it is their turn, they demand tolerance.
Put yourself in their shoes and ask yourself if they had so much money, they would never be able to write so lightly.
Many business owners are becoming more and more greedy about making money, wishing that they could only be rich while everyone else was pauper. There are too few people like Chen Weidong who are truly willing to lead the way to wealth.
You should know that the market value of Infinity Company in the Hong Kong stock market is only over HK$700 billion.
Fortunately, their company's shareholding structure is very simple, and control is only in the hands of a few people.
Otherwise, any company's board of directors will resolutely oppose such "stupid" money-spreading behavior.
"Okay, okay, isn't it just money? There will be plenty of opportunities to earn in the future." Chen Weidong saw Chen Jie lying on the sofa and sighing. He couldn't stand it anymore and hoped that he could be normal.
"It's easy for you to say it. I was able to make so much money this time because of this unexpected incident. I don't believe that I will encounter this kind of opportunity again in the future." Chen Jie still looked half-dead, and he had long been worried about it.
The planning process has been reviewed several times.
Although he didn't understand why Ah Wei seemed to know about this in advance, he also knew that this was an extremely rare event that could only happen.
You will definitely be able to make money in the future, but it will definitely not be that easy.
When Chen Weidong saw his third uncle's appearance, he didn't explain too much. He would slowly understand it later.
Carrying huge amounts of capital is inherently sinful.
Instead of holding it in your hands and letting it be coveted by some people, it would be better to give it to everyone directly.
In this case, even if someone wants to touch them in the future, they will be wary.
Just when they were about to discuss where to go next.
The TV in the living room suddenly played a piece of news.
Microsoft Corporation releases the latest generation of desktop operating system "windows xp".
It is so excellent that many computer experts are full of praise for it, even calling it "an epoch-making and landmark product."
This indicates that Microsoft still has an absolute monopoly in the field of operating systems.
Basically anyone can shake it.
Chen Weidong watched for a while, then suddenly turned around and asked Chen Jie, who was lying on the sofa: "What do you think of their software compared to our company's?"
Chen Jie glanced at the host on the TV who was talking endlessly about the introduction. Although he couldn't understand what she was talking about, when he saw the rough software interface displayed on it, he couldn't help but twitch on his face and spit out two words.
words.
