Chapter 462: Building a biological laboratory in the desert?
Even though it's close to seven o'clock, the daylight in the desert is still bright in this summer. Generally speaking, it doesn't get completely dark until eight or nine o'clock.
This phenomenon seems commonplace to the locals, but it surprises many outsiders, especially those from lower latitudes and eastern regions.
In fact, many people in Western Xinjiang say that it doesn’t get dark until after ten o’clock there. This is not bragging, but a real reality.
The setting sun has set, leaving only a little red light, and the bright outlines of the moon and stars have appeared on the pure blue sky.
Because of the return trip and taking care of Zhang Jun who was motion sick, the vehicle drove slowly, which also gave them more time to focus on the scenery outside.
"The lonely smoke is straight in the desert, and the sun is setting in the long river."
Seeing this scene, Zhang Jun couldn't help but say something.
When Wu Hao heard this, he smiled and joked: "Where did the lonely smoke come from, and where did the moon come from?"
"This is called artistic conception. The artistic conception is ever-changing. Everything else is not important, as long as the artistic conception is achieved." Zhang Jun waved his hands and said angrily.
Wu Hao smiled, and then said to Li Wenming who was driving in front: "Don't rush back to the control center, take us for a spin in the desert."
"Huh?" Zhang Jun showed a puzzled look, then looked at the vast desert Gobi and said, "What is there to see in this poor place? It's so bare, there isn't even a decent tree."
"Weren't you still reciting poems and talking about artistic conception just now? Why are you so realistic now?" Wu Hao said with a smile.
"Go away, do you think I don't know? If you don't go back now, you don't want to disturb them and give them enough time to analyze and summarize." Zhang Jun looked at him and said angrily.
Haha, Wu Hao did not deny it, but looked out the window and said: "We as leaders must give the people below full space to display their talents, and we must also give them sufficient breathing space.
Blind intervention and intervention is not a good thing. Instead, it will destroy their will and become puppets who obey our words.
Factories may do this because they need the labor of workers and do not require you to have too much subjective initiative, which makes it difficult to manage.
But we, as a technology company, cannot do that. What we want are scientific researchers who have the ability to think independently. What we have to do is to guide them, rather than blindly control them.
The experiment failed, and they were the ones who suffered the most. Although we tried our best to comfort them, we still had to give them time to sort out their mood and get back on their feet.
It's like a wolf licking its wounds alone, how could it allow other wolves to get close to it."
"I see."
Zhang Jun nodded, then leaned to the window and looked at the desolate scenery outside and asked: "There is nothing here, where are we going?"
Wu Hao thought for a while, and then said to Li Wenming who was driving in front: "Find a commanding height and stop. I want to take a good look at this place."
"What's so interesting about this crappy place?" Zhang Jun complained.
"Desolation also has its advantages. At least it is isolated from the world." Wu Hao said with a smile.
"Well, do you have any ideas?" Zhang Jun turned to look at him and inquired.
Wu Hao smiled and said nothing, but continued to look out the window. Seeing that he didn't answer, Zhang Jun also stared at the sand dunes outside the window. He couldn't understand that in this vast desert, there was nothing but sand and stones.
Good place.
The vehicle stopped on a huge sand dune, where you can see the entire surrounding area. This area belongs to the transition area between desert and Gobi. In addition to stones, it is sand, and there are some drought-resistant plants.
Compared with an area that is just a desert, it is more difficult to manage such a place. Because of the drought and lack of water, this area is sparsely populated, and the nearest villages and towns are sixty or seventy kilometers away.
It is precisely for this reason that they chose this area to build a rocket launch test site. In the future, this area will also be used as a rocket launch base for launching some small rockets. As for large rockets, they can only be placed in Jiuquan further west.
Or a professional rocket launch center. Because the facilities there are more complete and more convenient, and there are also restrictions on relevant policies.
"Not to mention, standing here, overlooking the entire desert panorama, it is a desolate and magnificent scene." Zhang Jun took out his mobile phone and started taking pictures.
Haha, Wu Hao smiled and waved. Li Wenming understood and immediately took out a map and laid it on the front cover of the off-road vehicle.
"Let me tell you, you guys definitely don't have the leisure and elegance to visit the scenery. You must be paying attention to something." Zhang Jun leaned in front of him and said with excitement on his face: "Tell me, you are fighting again.
What the hell idea."
Wu Hao looked at the terrain and pointed at the map and said: "The Center for Biological and Life Sciences Research is planning to build a biological laboratory. I'm here to take a look."
"Why, you want to build the laboratory here. Are you crazy? You can't build it anywhere in Anxi. Even if you don't build it in Anxi, you can put it in a developed city. What's wrong with building it here?" Zhang Jun was very puzzled.
road.
Wu Hao shook his head: "This laboratory must be isolated from the outside world, and this desert is an ideal barrier."
"Huh?" Zhang Jun frowned when he heard this, and then said with a worried look: "What do you want to do? You have to build a place like this and isolate it from the outside world.
Let me tell you, we must not get involved in anything illegal. We cannot let this great situation, which we finally achieved, be ruined like this."
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Wu Hao comforted him and then explained with a smile: "If we want to make breakthroughs in the field of biotechnology in the future, we must conduct research on some high-risk projects.
Therefore, we must establish such a laboratory that is far away from humans and natural ecosystems to conduct research in the field of plants and animals.
In this way, even if there is an accident in the laboratory in the future, these experimental products cannot spread and affect humans and nature."
"Experimental subject?" Zhang Jun glanced at him, and then muttered: "Why do I sound so scared? This reminds me of many scenes in science fiction movies."
"Haha, I'm overthinking it, it's not as exaggerated as you think."
Wu Hao smiled and shook his head and said: "To give a very simple example, for example, our biological experts used genetic technology to cultivate a new genetically modified plant, let's say it is a flower.
We cannot let it flow out before ensuring that it is safe enough and will not cause harm to us humans and the natural environment.
In Anxi and many areas in the mainland, the temperature is pleasant and the climate is humid, suitable for the growth of most plants. If this kind of plant, which is not yet known to be harmful, is allowed to flow out, it may grow in a large area and even cause an ecological disaster.
But here, with this desert as a barrier, it will be much safer."
