Time passed by, and after about half an hour, everyone coordinated all the information.
"Didi!"
A request for a call came through Zhang Heng's watch. Zhang Heng did not answer, but walked out directly to the huge square.
"Xiao Zhang, the information is here!" Luo Jincheng raised the information in his hand to Zhang Heng. Zhang Heng quickly walked over to take it. Various data about the seat and the experimental mice were recorded on it.
"Can the plane that was opened just now be opened again?" Zhang Heng looked down at the information and asked subconsciously.
"We don't know, but there is an extra code on the plane shuttle's recorder. Do you want to experiment?" Luo Jincheng's eyes lit up.
"For the time being... it's not necessary anymore." Zhang Heng thought about it and finally shook his head, "Forget it today, otherwise it will easily cause the two nuclear fusion generators to overload."
"Hey, what's going on? Why can't I upload data?" Suddenly, an assistant said, "Professor Luo, there seems to be a problem with the intranet. My computer cannot contact the Honeycomb main server."
"Contact the person in charge of the main server to see what's going on." Luo Jincheng said immediately.
"No, the communicator can't contact me either!" the assistant said again.
Zhang Heng did not speak. Instead, Yue Hua's figure appeared on the huge screen in the lobby. "Everyone, please be patient. There is an unknown fault in the contactor and elevator on the B8 floor. The B8 floor has been automatically closed. I am going to send someone to repair it." , it will probably take a few days to repair.”
"Ah, why is the fault so serious? How many days will it take?" One of the assistants frowned, "If it is automatically sealed, won't we be unable to get out?"
"Yes, but don't worry, the food stored on the B8 floor is enough for us to live for a month." Zhang Heng said calmly, "Don't panic, everyone, do whatever you have to do, and to compensate everyone, everyone's salary this month will be doubled ”
Luo Jincheng on the side glanced at Zhang Heng suspiciously, then smiled and said, "That's right, listen to Xiao Zhang, isn't it just a delay of a few days? Just treat it as we are conducting a long-term experiment, everything will be as usual. It’s business as usual.”
Now that Zhang Heng and Luo Jincheng both spoke, all the assistants didn't say much.
Zhang Heng secretly smiled bitterly. At this moment, he could finally understand why major events that happened in the country had to be hidden. It was not for anything else, but for the sake of order.
If Zhang Heng said at this time: We have been attacked by some unknown meme, and the chance of everyone dying is more than 99%. It can be said that we are basically dead. In order to prevent the meme from spreading, everyone is not allowed to leave! So don't talk about uniting to develop a strategy to crack the meme. It would be better if there is no chaos in the world.
At this time, Zhang Heng also silently remembered everyone's faces and every move in his heart. He didn't know whether this information could be used to fight against that unknown meme, but in order to survive, all useful information and intelligence were needed. Write it down silently.
Today, there are a total of eighteen people including himself on the entire B8 floor. In addition to him and Luo Jincheng, there are two foreign scientists and fourteen assistants, a total of thirteen men and five women.
"Hey, this isn't right!" However, while Zhang Heng was observing everyone silently, a female assistant came to the mouse's observation box and suddenly screamed loudly.
Everyone subconsciously looked at the female assistant, only to see her pick up the observation box and look inside with a surprised look!
Zhang Heng immediately stepped forward and took the observation box without any rebuttal. He saw that the white mouse inside was dying, and traces of pitch-black color appeared on its four little feet.
"Some kind of microbial infection? Impossible!" The assistants who heard the sound couldn't help but mutter.
"Test, test again!" Luo Jincheng immediately said in a deep voice, "Obviously the previous test was wrong. This is probably an infection we have never seen before!"
The assistants started to turn on the equipment like crazy, and everyone had a look of fear on their faces. "Fortunately, this white mouse has been kept in isolation. Otherwise, if this disease is contagious, I'm afraid we..."
"I hope we haven't been infected." Another assistant said, "But there was obviously no problem with the previous test. Why is it like this now? Damn it!"
For a time, a dark cloud gradually enveloped everyone's heads.
"Professor Luo, everything is still normal." After more than ten minutes, an assistant came out of the biological isolation room. He said with an ugly face, "We did not find any pathogens in the blood of the mice, but..."
"But what?" Luo Jincheng said seriously, "If you don't want mother-in-law and mother-in-law, just say it if you have anything to say!"
"However, we found that the mouse's genes are collapsing..." the assistant said with a grimace, "its gene chains are constantly breaking and dying!"
For a moment, everyone’s expressions changed!
"I'll go take a look." One of the old American scientists said. Zhang Heng turned his head. He remembered that this old scientist was called Edward, and he also joined the headhunting plan. Although he was not as good as Feng Lun and Kong Zhongcai, he could still be considered a leader. A world-class biologist.
"Okay, Professor Edward, then I'll leave it to you." Luo Jincheng nodded. He turned to look at Zhang Heng, "Xiao Zhang, this disease is unprecedented. I hope everyone can wear it even in the outside world. Level-A chemical protective clothing to prevent microbial infection.”
"Okay." Zhang Heng nodded. After hearing this, all the assistants hurriedly ran into the changing room nearby. When they came out again, everyone had already put on heavy chemical protective clothing. This kind of isolation type chemical protection The whole suit is in a completely closed state and cannot be penetrated by any microorganisms.
Just like that, everyone began to wait restlessly.
About ten minutes passed before the biologist named Edward walked out of the isolation room again, but at this time his face looked even more ugly.
"How's it going? Have you found the pathogen?" Luo Jincheng couldn't help but ask.
"No, there's nothing..." Edward's face turned pale, "And I found a very serious problem." As he said that, he lifted up the closed observation box in his hand, and everyone hurriedly gathered around, but the next second, among them A female assistant couldn't help but screamed!
Zhang Heng stood at the end of the crowd, half leaning on the instrument. With his good eyesight, he immediately saw that there was nothing in the observation box, leaving only a pool of black ashes sticky on the bottom of the observation box. , in addition, there is no sign of the experimental mice!
"That little white mouse melted." Edward said with a bitter smile, "I don't know how this happened, but its gene chain was collapsing rapidly, and even the muscle tissue and bones were melting, as well as the... Protein structure... To be honest, I have never encountered such a situation in all my years of studying biology.”
"I, I want to get out of here!" One of the obese assistants suddenly panicked. As he said this, he roughly pushed everyone away and ran towards the elevator!
"Stop him!" Luo Jincheng's expression changed, "If we go up there, it's very likely that even the top will be infected!"
However, Luo Jincheng's words did not make anyone take action. Everyone watched the assistant running further and further away, and finally ran to the elevator. His face just showed the joy of escaping, but his face became stiff the next second. .
He found that no matter how hard he pressed the elevator, the elevator didn't respond at all.
"No need to press the button, the entire B8 floor has been completely sealed." Zhang Heng said lightly, "And what if you run out? In addition to increasing the chance of spreading this virus, do you think you can be saved if you go out?"
"But, but the technology of the Honeycomb Laboratory is so advanced, can't this disease be cured?" The obese assistant couldn't help but retort.
Hearing this, Zhang Heng sneered and turned to look at Edward, "Tell him."
"I'm sorry, I have to tell you." Edward shook his head. "As a biologist, I know a lot about the hive's medical technology, but this disease of gene chain collapse, let alone the hive, I believe... at least one No one can solve it in a hundred years.”
