Chapter 29 - Experiment

Qian Ziming is not tall, his figure is rather thin, his silent and reticent personality has confined his already narrow social circle, his pale face gives him a touch of melancholy that is currently popular among young women, but it was thoroughly destroyed by the thick-bottomed glasses. Walking on the street, no one would pay special attention to his existence. A simple appearance with no particular characteristics inevitably makes him an ordinary person without any special features.

A biological research major at Tsinghua University, the golden brand of the renowned university and the narrow subject combination have made him a pharmacological researcher at a southern pharmaceutical company.

Like all men, he has gone through marriage, having children, and the gradually aging age and sub-healthy physical condition have gradually eroded all the liveliness in Qian Ziming. When his meager salary can no longer match the soaring housing prices, and when more and more wealthy men appear around his beautiful wife, the word "divorce" finally made its way onto the family's agenda.

A man, with a small child, is living a difficult life in a rented house. Clearly, he is among the ranks of the financially unsuccessful. Naturally, his research became a way for him to pass the time and find a source of excitement. The South Medicine Company has over thirty researchers, and besides the three people who enter and exit the laboratory that has been neglected for years, the rest are bosses, managers, and chairmen who boast of their "authority" and "expertise". The company releases a batch of new drugs every year. Compared to the old products, the new drugs have better effects and quicker results, of course, at a higher price. Whenever the TV is full of advertisements for various new and innovative drugs, the names of drugs such as "penicillin", "sulfonamide", and "aspirin" will unconsciously appear in the mind of Mr. Qian. By simply changing the packaging, a few cents of penicillin can be sold as a "new antibiotic" for hundreds of dollars, and aspirin can become a "strong sustained-release pain reliever", with a price that has long exceeded its cost by thousands of times. The pharmaceutical company almost always plays this trick of repackaging old wine every year, and the decision-makers do not allocate any research funds. In response, Mr. Qian never makes any extraordinary moves, he just sits in the laboratory, doing what he is supposed to do, quietly.

He has no control and no authority to control it.

Diligent study will eventually yield results. Two years ago, on a certain day, when he walked into the factory manager's office with a newly successful special medicine, all he got was a leather envelope with 5,000 yuan.

A week later, a paper that recorded the entire research process appeared in a authoritative academic journal. The names of all the leaders, such as the factory manager, secretary, and manager, were neatly arranged at the end of the article.

There was no Mr. Qian.

Half a year later, the research results had become a best-selling new drug on the international market. All the signatories at the end of the article received at least 500,000 yuan or more in cash or tangible rewards.

There was no Mr. Qian.

One year later, the new drug was selected into the National Innovation Technology Catalog of that year, and all relevant personnel received administrative level promotions.

Still no Mr. Qian.

"You are an employee of the company and your job is to create wealth for the company. Therefore, your research results naturally belong to the company. Using the company's money and equipment, you can even get an additional reward of 5000... You must not forget your roots."

In response to Qian Ziming's questioning, the Secretary of the company's Party Committee, who has enjoyed many benefits, made a weighty explanation and guidance.

After that, he never entered the laboratory again.

Heart, very cold, very gray.

Just when Qian Ziming was preparing to find a way out again, he and all the scientific researchers of the company were summoned to the capital to study the R12 virus sample.

This is an opportunity.

After reading the introduction to the relevant materials, Qian Ziming did not enter the heavily guarded laboratory like others, but instead used poor physical health as an excuse to stay alone in the hotel for a few days.

No one expressed suspicion. Because he did not have direct contact with the sample, the military also did not include him in the monitoring range. The confidentiality level of R12 is not high, and in this world, many places can get this terrifying virus besides mainland China.

Tying together a dozen empty pull-can barrels at the entrance of the military research institute, deliberately making noise to cause a conflict with the sentinel, and finally entering it. Qin Ziming believed that, with the "R12" name he had seen from the data and his own genuine biological researcher identity, he would definitely attract the attention of the real ruler.

This was a gamble.

If successful, he could achieve his goal smoothly.

If failed, he might never see anyone, and be executed on the spot by the sentinel on the grounds of "attacking the military zone."

But no matter what, Qin Ziming had to try.

Fortunately, he succeeded.

...

The reception room was very large, large enough to accommodate hundreds of people sitting at the same time. A huge rectangular long table was lined up on both sides of the black oak armchair. Fang Yujie, who was sitting at the top of the table, crossed his legs casually, and a touch of white grease was exposed from the ankle hanging from the white gown.

"I don't have much time, you have ten minutes to explain your purpose."

Taking a look at the delicate watch on her wrist, Fang Yujie picked up the freshly brewed tea from the table and coldly said, "If you can't tell me anything interesting by the end of the time, you will be executed on the charge of disrupting a military base."

The beautiful woman in front of him was not just threatening him, of that Qian Ziming was certain with his keen intuition towards biological research.

"I haven't come in contact with R12, but I can develop a corresponding vaccine."

With a cup of delicate porcelain tea in her hand, Fang Yujie's slender wrist stopped midair. She furrowed her brow and repeatedly examined the middle-aged man who seemed unremarkable through the focus of her glasses.

This statement was contradictory, but also shocking and audacious.

"I've seen the simple introduction in the materials, and the biggest feature of R12 is its devouring replication. It can invade all functional organs of the infected person in a short period of time, accelerate the burning of cell energy, and thus achieve the goal of completely controlling the host. As long as we can suppress its growth rate, we can limit the range of virus activity within the normal range that the human body can accept."

Qian Ziming expressed his intention clearly using the simplest language. Of course, he did not forget to take a look at the wall clock hanging on the wall and quickly calculated the time limit promised by the other party in his mind.

"Continue." Fang Yujie tapped the desktop with her slender fingers. The previous words did not help her, nor did they provide the information she needed.

"So, I have an idea -"

"Idea?"

The eyes of the hot-bodied female colonel with a frosty face suddenly released two killing cold lights.

Qian Ziming, who was sweating profusely, quickly accelerated his speech: "In the cultivation process of R12, adding a large amount of nutrient solution and promoters, forcibly accelerating their growth rate. By using the virus in its aging state as the basic virulent strain, we can manufacture a vaccine that the human body can accept."

Fang Yujie sat quietly, but was somewhat surprised in his heart.

Accelerate growth rate forcibly?

Aging virus?

He had to admit that, although the man in front of him appeared unremarkable, he was indeed unique in his understanding of biological research. He was not the kind of boastful person who talked big but had no substance.

This ten minutes was not wasted.

"Is there any actual data?" Compared to theory, Fang Yujie would rather see convincing reality.

"I've done a few experiments," Qian Ziming said as he took out a small and delicate U disk and gently placed it on the table.

Plugging the computer in, clicking on the screen, the eye-catching terms and conditions were suddenly listed in front of Fang Yujie.

"Inhibitory Adrenaline," "Fixed Ulcer Virus," "Atrophic Muscle Research..."

"These are the experimental data I obtained using the aging virus to obtain relevant preparations."

Qianzi skillfully opened the "Inhibitory Adrenaline" page: "Combining the virus and biological proteins together creates the best solidifying agent for neutralizing adrenaline. I have conducted experiments on the company's office director using this, and from two years ago to now, he has maintained an abnormal impotent state. Although his mind desires to have sex with women, his lower body will never get an erection. 'Fixed Ulcer Virus' is my second successfully developed vaccine. It forms a protective membrane around the virus, stopping its growth and preventing antibiotics from destroying it. I injected it into the body of the company's party secretary, and his chronic gastric ulcer will never worsen and will never be treatable. As for atrophic muscle, it is also based on the same principle. The company's CEO was over 1.9 meters tall half a year ago, and when he underwent a physical examination, I gave him a vaccine, and now he has become a dwarf less than 1.5 meters tall..."

Fang Yujie carefully looked at the shocking cases and experiment reports, and there was no change in her cold face.

Clearly, this man's psychology has been seriously distorted. But what does this have to do with her?

She needs to deal with the R12 vaccine, and his experiments just provide enough theoretical basis.

Pressing the call button, the tall duty officer appeared at the door of the reception room soon.

"Contact the relevant departments, transfer this person's file and work relationship to the third research lab. Inform the intelligence department to conduct a preliminary political review of him immediately. I need him to participate in the experiment as soon as possible."
