"How is the result?"
"This is the inspection report for the past three days. We have done a comprehensive inspection for them every six hours. Unsurprisingly, because the impact of the second virus injection on the serval is very small and almost negligible."
"What about Africa? How are they?" On the eve of Li Zheng's return to Hong Kong, the University of Cape Town took the initiative to contact him and was willing to undertake part of the experiment.
Li Zheng was not polite to them, and handed over the most complicated screening work to them. Experiments have shown that not all felines carry polyclonal antibodies.
The serval is the only animal known to carry antibodies.
African countries, especially Dorman, became nervous all of a sudden. The country issued three consecutive decrees in one day, prohibiting any organization or individual from hunting servals. Dorman even listed it as a national first-class protected animal.
When Li Zheng heard the news, he was stunned for a moment, and then a strange look appeared on his face. Did he change the fate of a group
Before the serval was listed in the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora in 2006, the inaction of African countries was also the main reason for its mass hunting.
Now that the news that servals carry Dok virus antibodies comes out, presumably folk poaching will be greatly reduced, and the threat to the survival of servals will be greatly reduced.
"Keep in close contact with the University of Cape Town at any time. We need their help for experiments that are not convenient for us to do." Li Zheng said in a deep voice.
"Okay." Zhang Yuejun replied.
As the experiment progressed step by step, Li Zheng began to miss the experimental equipment of later generations. If it were 30 years later, he would be able to simulate the model and action process of virus antibodies on the computer, but now...
Li Zheng pursed his lips, and resignedly recorded the experimental data manually, and constructed relevant models on the original computer.
In June 1984, Huajingfang publicly put forward the slogan of "one country, two systems, Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong, and a high degree of autonomy". For a time, the discussion inside and outside Hong Kong Island was noisy. Explaining the concept of one country, two systems indicates that the game between China and the UK has become intensified.
From summer to late autumn, pedestrians on the road put on thick trench coats. The negotiation between Huaying and Ying is coming to an end. The atmosphere in Xiangjiang seems to be tense all of a sudden. The calm before the storm was shocking.
December 19, 1984, Huajing Great Hall of the People
This is not the first time Li Zheng has come to the Great Hall of the People. He remembered that the last time he came, he stood on the podium and spoke. And today he's just a spectator.
But he was in a mood he had never felt before. He never thought that he would actually have the opportunity to witness this scene with his own eyes. Li Zheng's hands were clenched into fists, his breathing became a little heavy, and his body trembled slightly from excitement.
Liang Zhe, who was beside him, put his hand on Li Zheng's right hand, which was clenched into a fist.
The heat from his palm relieved Li Zheng's tense nerves a little.
Two months ago, Li Zheng's laboratory finally screened out 48 substances that might be antibodies from the serval. Everyone cheered in the laboratory like a traveler who finally saw the light after walking in the dark for a long time.
At this moment, Zheng Lingling received a call, saying that a woman named Zhao Qiuhua came to look for Li Zheng.
When Li Zheng heard the name, he frowned, but he was still invited in.
He took off his protective suit, put on a white coat, and walked out.
Zhao Qiuhua was standing in the yard, her dress as a professional woman was a bit sharper than what Li Zheng saw at the banquet.
"You're here." Li Zheng said.
He hesitated, "Are you going to sit inside?"
Zhao Qiuhua glanced at Li Zheng with a complicated expression, "No need. I'm here to deliver something this time." After speaking, she handed over an envelope.
In the upper right corner of the envelope is a Tamron stamp, a Tamron ticket from 1984, which will be worth a lot of money in later generations.
"Don't take it apart and see?"
Li Zheng was stunned for a moment, then he opened the envelope and found a piece of delicate letter paper.
Unfolding the stationery, it turned out to be a handwritten invitation.
"Mr. Li Zheng is specially invited to be the guest of honor at the signing ceremony of the Huaying Joint Declaration." The strong and powerful calligraphy, the domineering revealed between the lines is shocking.
Yes, it's already October. Li Zheng remembered that on September 26, 1984, Huaying and Huaying had initialed the Huaying Joint Statement on the Hong Kong issue by the heads of their respective delegations, and the official signing of this statement was in December this year.
Watch!
Li Zheng took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He had the opportunity to witness this great moment with his own eyes!
"The British side has already compromised, and in 1997, Hong Kong will definitely return to the embrace of China. Although there are still many misunderstandings and fears about China among the people of Hong Kong, I believe that with our efforts and media propaganda, Xiangjiang's sense of identity with China will become higher and higher!" Zhao Qiuhua's eyes were glowing when he talked about this.
Li Zheng gave this woman a complicated look. Although he was in the laboratory, he still knew a thing or two about the changes in the outside world. Not long ago, the founder of Heung Kong Daily officially announced his retirement and handed over this great paper media empire to the To his son, Shen Hongji.
As soon as Shen Hongji took over Heung Kong Newspapers, Heung Kong Daily changed its neutral policy and widely promoted the concept and slogan of "one country, two systems, Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong". If this had nothing to do with Zhao Qiuhua, Li Zheng would not believe it.
Maybe this woman is not a good wife or a good mother, but in terms of patriotism, she is no worse than anyone else.
"Thank you, I will go." Li Zheng said.
Zhao Qiuhua finally showed a genuine smile on her face. Her hand was slightly raised, as if she wanted to pat Li Zheng's shoulder, she hesitated, and then put it down.
"Then, I'll go first." She said and turned to leave.
The three-month-old belly has been slightly bulging, Li Zheng remembered the dark circles under her eyes, and couldn't help but said, "Pregnant women need more rest."
Zhao Qiuhua's body froze, and his eyes were slightly red, "Thank you."
Li Zheng walked back with the invitation letter. Zheng Lingling, who was making coffee for everyone, saw him and glanced behind him.
"Didn't editor-in-chief Zhao come in and sit down?"
"Editor Zhao?" Li Zheng frowned slightly.
"It's Zhao Qiuhua, she was kicked out by Mrs. Shen, and Mrs. Shen didn't stop her. It's spread all over the Xiangjiang circle because of the newspapers. Mr. Shen always didn't want Xiangjiang Newspaper to stand in line, and Mrs. Shen preferred to The British side. But editor-in-chief Zhao wrote a report explaining Huajing's ruling philosophy."
"She is still pregnant with a child, but she lives in the newspaper office and refuses to leave. In the past few months, she has been staring at the people under her to make the newspaper."
Li Zheng was silent for a while, "How do you know so clearly?"
Zheng Lingling: "My second mother's sister-in-law's daughter works as an accountant in Hong Kong Newspapers."
Li Zheng…
The delegations of Hua and Ying entered the venue one by one from both sides, and the auditorium was obviously agitated.
The leader of Huajing Fang has white temples but he is in high spirits. He has a smile on his face. This is a gentle and elegant face, but it shows a domineering look.
Margaret Thatcher, headed by the British side, had delicate makeup, but her lips were tightly pursed.
The leaders of the two parties took their seats, and the scene became quiet all of a sudden, and everyone in the audience couldn't help holding their breaths.
In the center of the long table covered with dark green flannel, a statement with a red leather cover has been placed. The leaders of the two sides signed the joint statement on behalf of their governments with the Chinese desktop hero gold pen.
When the last stroke fell, the audience burst into warm applause.
Li Zheng could see that the expressions on the faces of the representatives of the Xiangjiang people who were watching the ceremony were complicated, some were relaxed, some were lost, some were confused, while those who were not far away from the Huaguo were very happy, and they all had joy on their faces. look.
Xiangjiang is not far from returning!
Li Zheng laughed softly, "I'm very happy."
Liang Zhe held his hand, "If you are happy, I will be happy too."
Li Zheng didn't stay in Huajing for much longer. It wasn't because he deliberately avoided Zhao Mu and Zhao Qiuhua, but news came from Li Zheng's laboratory that the antibody was found.
Doman's newborns have a very high chance of contracting the Dok virus. The sooner the vaccine comes out, the fewer tragedies. Therefore, as soon as the call from Xiangjiang came, Li Zheng boarded the plane back to Xiangjiang that day.
"How about it!"
"These are two selected from 48 substances, both of which are highly sensitive to the virus. After the guinea pig experiment, the two have a certain resistance to the virus, but it is still relatively difficult to develop a vaccine with this."
Zhong Peng said, and handed a thick stack of experimental data to Li Zheng.
While watching the guinea pigs, Li Zheng quickly turned pages and pages in his hands.
"Impossible, if it's just this reaction, it's impossible for a serval to be immune to Dok virus! There must be something missing! There must be something missing!" Li Zheng muttered to himself.
Li Zheng repeated the simulation experiment one by one without anyone else.
"Mr. Zhong..." Seeing that the hour hand was slowly approaching twelve o'clock, Zhang Chao couldn't help but said, "Mr. Li Zheng he..."
Zhong Peng shook his head, "Don't disturb him now. You two go upstairs and find a room to rest, I'll accompany you."
"How can we do this? We are young, it doesn't matter if we stay up late, it's okay for me and Yue Jun to take turns."
"No need..." While the three were arguing, the door outside the laboratory was pushed open, and Liang Zhe skillfully put on protective clothing and walked towards them.
"You don't have to grab it, I'll accompany him." Said he sat on a stool not far from the experimental bench, turned his head and looked at Li Zheng who was doing the experiment with his head down without blinking.
Zhong Peng et al...
