Chapter 286 Level 5 Virus Agent
Li Chenglong and Yun Lan were enjoying a rare moment of leisure together. Just then, Wang Jie knocked on the door. The two quickly separated, and Yun Lan straightened her clothes, saying, "Come in!" Wang Jie entered, looking at Yun Lan's slightly flushed face, and scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly. However, she immediately remembered that she had something to discuss with them.
Wang Jie immediately said, "City Lord Li, Deputy City Lord Yun, the Research Department just contacted us, saying that the Level 5 virus immune vaccine and antiviral drugs have been developed. After a week of experiments, the effectiveness of these two drugs has been confirmed. We came here today to inform you."
Li Chenglong said with delight, "That's great! The successful development of the Level 5 virus agent will greatly protect our soldiers and people, and reduce many sacrifices on the battlefield." As he spoke, he pulled Yunlan and Wang Jie together to go to the Dawn City Research Department. Pei Ji would stay in the office for the time being so he could take care of anyone who came.
As Li Chenglong went downstairs, he contacted Zheng Yong, Feng Tian, Ma Tiancheng, Yun Qian, Shen Menghua, and Qin Fangyu. Their full cooperation was essential for the production and distribution of the medicines. Half an hour later, the group arrived at the Dawn City Research Department.
The Research Department was previously integrated with the Ministry of Education, but it was later separated into its own division to demonstrate Dawn City's emphasis on the Research Department and to meet its own development needs. Over the long period of Dawn City's development, it has attracted many scientists from various disciplines, including several academicians.
Among the various units of the research department, the most important is the zombie virus research laboratory, which was established under the leadership of three virologists: An Qingyuan, Liu Mingchang, and Li Qinghe. Previously, all three scientists had received psionic apples from Li Chenglong, becoming superhumans. After becoming superhumans, their physical strength, which had been lacking due to old age, gradually recovered. Currently, they can even work fourteen or fifteen hours a day, making their younger students feel ashamed of their abilities.
These three virologists had previously been invited to give lectures at headquarters, greatly advancing the headquarters' virus research progress. This time, they were the first to develop a Level 4 virus agent, making outstanding contributions to the development of Dawn City. To facilitate their virus research and to prevent biohazard incidents, four Level 7 ability users with purification capabilities are stationed in the research department. Additionally, the central computer room within the research department has a virus monitoring system that will immediately issue an alert if a suspected biohazard incident is detected.
When Li Chenglong arrived at the Research Department, Yun Qian, Zheng Yong, and Feng Tian were already there, and soon the other three arrived as well. Seeing that everyone was present, he was greeted by a department head and some staff members and went inside. The group first visited the laboratories and offices of other disciplines, and were very satisfied with the atmosphere of learning and research.
The final stop was definitely the zombie virus research laboratory. Today was Academician An Qingyuan's day off, so only Li Qinghe and Liu Mingchang were in the lab, along with their respective teams. The three scientists were working together, but their roles were somewhat different. Academician An Qingyuan was mainly responsible for the research and analysis of the virus, Academician Liu Mingchang was responsible for developing a virus vaccine, and Dr. Li Qinghe was mainly responsible for developing antiviral drugs.
The zombie virus vaccine, as the name suggests, serves as a preventative measure, much like a pre-apocalyptic vaccine. Currently, the Level 4 zombie virus vaccine in Dawn City has achieved an 85% vaccination rate. The rest are either allergic to the vaccine or do not meet the age requirement of 6 to 65 years old for vaccination.
The anti-zombie virus drug is an injection administered only after a person has been infected with the virus. This drug has strict requirements; it must be injected within half an hour of infection, and the longer the time elapsed, the larger the dosage needs to be. Li Chenglong had previously suggested extending this timeframe, but Li Qinghe expressed difficulty because the more advanced the zombie virus, the more toxic it is, and the shorter the time allotted for the antiviral drug.
Before entering the laboratory, Li Chenglong and his group underwent security checks and disinfection. They then donned protective suits and went inside. Upon entering, they were greeted by all the members of the zombie virus laboratory. Li Chenglong and his group shook hands with all the staff, and then, led by Liu Mingchang and Li Qinghe, carefully toured the vast laboratory. Li Qinghe explained the development process of the antiviral drugs and vaccines to Li Chenglong and his group, and also briefly explained their mechanisms of action.
Yun Qian asked, "How fast can this vaccine be produced?" Academician Liu Mingchang replied, "With the equipment in our laboratory, the production speed of the zombie virus vaccine is 50 doses per day, and the production speed of the antiviral drug is 100 doses per day. However, with the support of the Ministry of Security and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, we can build several production lines in the industrial zone. This will not only be enough for our needs, but we can even trade with other bases."
Li Chenglong said happily, "This is a good suggestion. All the vaccines in the past came from the laboratory. At that time, there were fewer people, so although the production was low, it was enough. Now our Shuguang City has 20 people, and the demand is huge. The laboratory's production is definitely not enough. Sister Shen and Yunqian, you two will work hard to build the pharmaceutical factory together."
The two women nodded, indicating they would begin the work immediately after leaving. Li Chenglong then inquired whether the lab was facing any difficulties or needed anything, resolving the issue on the spot. Simultaneously, at the joint recommendation of all lab members, four members who had played a significant role in the lab were presented with psionic apples by Li Chenglong.
More than an hour later, Li Chenglong led everyone out of the laboratory. Shen Menghua and Yun Qian left first because they had to deal with matters at the pharmaceutical factory. Li Chenglong said to the others, "This vaccine and antiviral drug should be given priority to the military. Our Dawn City is still very safe. As long as the people are in Dawn City, there will be no problem. But our soldiers are going out to fight, and their need for the vaccine and antiviral drug is more urgent."
Zheng Yong, Feng Tian, and Qin Fangyu nodded, deeply agreeing. Then the military personnel left first, while Li Chenglong, Yun Lan, Ma Tiancheng, and Wang Jie chatted as they walked, exchanging views on recent developments in Dawn City. Ma Tiancheng asked, "What do you think of that recent Four Directions Games?"
It turns out that because there haven't been any combat operations recently, the Qianyun Base, which relocated to Tianjin, proposed to hold a sports meet with the participation of all four bases. The sports meet is divided into a sports meet for people with superpowers and a sports meet for people with non-superpowers. The venue is set in Dawn City, which is currently the most developed city. However, in order to reduce the pressure on Dawn City to host the event, the other three bases will also provide supplies and crystals to support them.
Li Chenglong thought for a moment and said, "I think we can agree. We can get started soon. And with New Year's Day just around the corner, there aren't many entertainment activities. Why not hold a sports meet? It can liven up the atmosphere in Dawn City and enhance the friendship between the four bases."
After a video conference that evening between Li Chenglong and the leaders of the other four bases, it was unanimously decided that the Four-Way Games would be held from December 20th to January 3rd, a total of 12 days. The games would be basically based on the events of the pre-apocalyptic games, divided into groups for those with superpowers and those without. Of course, the groups for those with superpowers would also have their own exclusive events.
