At this moment, Zhang Dingshan, who had figured out Lu Ming's thoughts, began to breathe quickly.

This matter was so important and important that even he, who was always known for his calmness and composure, couldn't help but feel moved by it.

This is a major event that is enough to overturn the entire situation and change the entire incident from the source!

We originally thought that we had reached a dead end and there was no way forward. At the cost of abandoning a city, relying on a hydrogen bomb to completely destroy the fungus was the only hope, but now it seems that there is actually another possibility?

The twists and turns are not enough to describe the magnitude of this change.

If Lu Ming's speculation is true, doesn't it mean that there was no need for outside intervention in this incident from the beginning?

Just let the building god command the fungi to break the formation - once the Binhai Building collapses, the dragon-suppressing pile formation pattern will be destroyed, and the greenhouse environment created by coincidence for the fungi to survive will also completely disappear. No need If anyone interferes, all the fungi will die!

Has our side been doing nothing all this time? Not only has it not helped resolve the situation, but it has wasted resources and worsened the situation.

If our own side had not intervened, the superiors would not have decided to use a hydrogen bomb to solve this incident!

However, taking a step back, even if the situation has developed to this point, as long as Lu Ming's speculation can be clarified at this moment and confirmed to be true, at least in this incident, I will not have to pay more. The price is, at least the hydrogen bomb attack will not come again, the people of Yangyuan City will not have to relocate, and the city will not have to be abandoned!

This is the most important.

The only one who needs to pay the price may be Operation Team Two.

After all, once it is confirmed that the speculation is true and that our side is just doing useless work, no matter what the original reason is, judging from an objective perspective, the second operation team has worsened the situation and caused what can be called a relatively serious impact.

Lu Ming was slightly worried about this.

Zhang Dingshan seemed to understand Lu Ming's thoughts and only shook his head slightly.

"Lu Ming, don't worry about what responsibilities our second action team needs to bear. It's still the same saying, as long as you don't do things, you will never make mistakes. As long as you do things, there will be a probability of making mistakes. Mistakes and failures are inherently allowed. Besides, , looking at it from another perspective, even if this incident is really as you speculated, could we not have intervened from the very beginning?"

He gently shook his head again: "Our operations office relies on the system, not luck. In this case, let's assume that we didn't intervene at all, and the final outcome proved that not getting involved was the best choice, but... the matter The direction is not something we can control. This time we were lucky and got the right option. What about next time? Do we still have to get it? Do we still have to rely on luck?"

Zhang Dingshan walked up to Lu Ming and patted his shoulder gently: "Don't worry, if your speculation is true, not only will we have no fault, but we will have merit."

Lu Ming nodded, and most of the worries in his heart disappeared.

Just like traffic police officers investigating and punishing drunk driving. Maybe among the one hundred drunk driving cases they investigated, ninety-nine drunk driving drivers will not get into trouble in the end. Then, the investigation and punishment behavior of these ninety-nine drunk driving drivers can be Is it a waste of time and social resources?

Obviously not.

Looking at this case, even if it turns out that this case should not have been involved at all, could Action Team 2 have chosen not to intervene at the very beginning of this case, or when encountering the next similar case?

Obviously not.

You have to rely on the system to do things, not luck.

If we have to make an analogy, if Lu Ming's conjecture is true, that is, the second operation team does not need to intervene from the beginning, then the situation can probably be compared to a traffic police officer investigating and punishing a drunk driver who was not involved in an accident.

The drunk driver got angry and hit and killed another innocent person with his car.

Judging from the objective facts and timeline, it is obvious that the traffic police officers' actions in investigating drunk driving turned an originally innocent situation into a situation in which an innocent person was hit and killed.

But the final responsibility obviously cannot fall on the traffic police. Just like at this moment, although it may have caused some serious consequences, the responsibility cannot fall on the second action team.

Lu Ming nodded: "I understand."

A smile appeared on Zhang Dingshan's lips: "What's more, even if your speculation is true, even if the ultimate responsibility for this incident falls on us, will you choose not to disclose your speculation and choose to let Yangyuan City be destroyed?

"

Lu Ming was startled and raised his head suddenly.

How is this possible!

If given a choice, he would rather go to a military court than let a city be destroyed!

Zhang Dingshan knocked on the table lightly: "Since we take responsibility or not, you have to do it, so what else do you have to worry about?"

The last worry in Lu Ming's heart completely disappeared.

"Okay. Let's discuss your conjecture. Your conjecture seems reasonable, but there is something I can't figure out. That is, the fear bacteria can quickly restore the population after a large dose of disinfectant, and can

According to your speculation, the vitality of a species that has rapidly evolved to adapt to a high-radiation environment is so weak? It can't even adapt to a normal environment?"

This does seem contradictory. But after Lu Ming thought about it for a while, he found a reasonable explanation.

"Have you ever heard of Acinetobacter baumannii?"

Zhang Dingshan shook his head.

Lu Ming slowly said: "Multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii has been found in many intensive care units, infected many patients, and claimed the lives of many patients.

However, the intensive care unit is one of the places with the highest environmental requirements. Needless to say, how strict are the disinfection measures there?"

Zhang Dingshan nodded slightly.

"But even so, even if the environment is so harsh for this kind of bacteria, they can still survive, and can infect and kill human patients. From this point of view, the vitality of this kind of bacteria is strong enough.

Bar?"

Zhang Dingshan nodded again.

"But why haven't these bacteria spread into nature? Their vitality is so tenacious. Logically speaking, they should be everywhere in the world."

Zhang Dingshan was thoughtful.

"Because the fact is that multi-drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii can survive in the harsh environment of the intensive care unit, but it cannot adapt to the natural environment outside. Once they go out to the outside world, they will die. It's that simple.

The reason is that the root cause of bacterial resistance is that through evolution, they can synthesize a certain enzyme. Synthetic enzymes require energy. But this enzyme is only useful in special environments, such as intensive care units, and in natural environments

Among them, it is completely useless. Therefore, this kind of super bacteria that requires extra energy to synthesize this enzyme cannot compete with ordinary bacteria in nature. If it takes a little longer, they will be eliminated."

Lu Ming spread his hands: "So, Captain, species like Dinospora, which can quickly recover its population after a large dose of disinfectant, and can quickly evolve to adapt to a high-radiation environment, may seem to be extremely viable, but in fact, it is not necessarily true. Background

A slight change in the environment may still kill them."

"I understand." Zhang Dingshan said: "Your speculation is indeed possible. However, my opinion is that we must find absolutely solid evidence for this matter. It must be absolutely solid, without any ambiguity.

.Otherwise, looking at the overall situation, the hydrogen bomb must be launched and Yangyuan City must be destroyed."

Compared with Lu Ming's own future and destiny, Lu Ming obviously believed without hesitation that the city of Yangyuan City and the more than one million people who lived safely were more important.

But he also believed without hesitation that Yangyuan City was not important at all compared to the threat that the leakage of the fungus could pose to the entire human world.

It’s still the same sentence. It’s just a relocation, and no one will die. It’s just a city. If it’s destroyed, it will be destroyed. How can the safety of the entire human world be important?

On such a major issue, not to mention the decision-makers at the top, even Lu Ming himself would never be able to make the final decision relying solely on some speculation.

There must be evidence. There must be strong evidence, and it must be thoroughly proven that without destroying Yangyuan City, the threat of the germs leaking can be completely eliminated. Only in this way can Yangyuan City be preserved and the lives of more than one million people be improved.

Not affected!

This is the core and most critical part of the problem.

Without evidence, even if they knew that Yangyuan City might have been destroyed in vain, superior decision-makers would never hesitate at all about launching a hydrogen bomb!

The reason is simple, no one can bear this kind of risk. Even if it is just some risks, it involves the safety of the entire human world, and it is enough to be worth destroying a city to eliminate it.

But how to find evidence?

Previously, the person in charge of the scaled-down version of Zhenlongzhuang had made it very clear that the changes that had occurred in Disobacteria were not even sure whether they were abnormal or not.

They are working hard to investigate the factors that may cause the abnormal increase in the activity of Disobacteria, but so far, they have found nothing.

Assuming that the abnormal changes in Disobacterium are really due to some kind of "greenhouse" effect caused by the Zhenlong Zhuang, then so many and excellent teams of microbial experts could not find any abnormalities in the environment at the Binhai Building.

, can the team of scientists here find it?

The hope is obviously not high.

This road doesn't work.

However, if we cannot find a direct connection between the two through scientific means, how can we find any evidence, let alone evidence that "must be excellent"?

This is almost impossible to do!

But Lu Ming knew that he had to do it!

He gritted his teeth tightly, clenched his fists tightly, and veins popped out on his arms.

There are about six days left.

Six days!

During this period of time, he not only had to find evidence, but also confirm the evidence through experiments, and then test the results on the spot at the Marina Building.

There is really no time to waste!

"Captain, find me a quiet place and don't let anyone disturb me. Then prepare water, compressed biscuits and the toilet for me."

Zhang Dingshan nodded unusually solemnly.

A place like this exists right here in a scaled-down version of the Zhenlong Zhuang Test Base.

Outside the building complex, there is a temporarily built access road. This road is not long, only about 300 meters. At the end of the road is a public toilet.

The entire road is relatively smooth, with a searchlight on both sides and in the middle. Under each searchlight, there is some mineral water and some compressed biscuits that can quickly replenish energy.

At this moment, three searchlights were turned on.

Although we are at the foot of a mountain, the temperature outside is not too low at the moment. If we wear long sleeves and long pants, the temperature can still be considered moderate.
