LRAB #762 - Chapter 762: Gilding? Trying to steal the credit in an ugly way? No! He is a master!
#762 - Chapter 762: Gilding? Trying to steal the credit in an ugly way? No! He is a master!
Seeing Chen Hao bowing to him, Academician Gu was momentarily stunned.
This young man…
He looked very familiar.
That's right!
He quickly remembered.
The chairman of the largest group in China!
He had seen him on the news more than once, but why was he… showing him such respect?
"Hello, everyone!"
The old man nodded to Gu Lao and then turned his gaze to everyone: "Without much formality, you all know the situation. It's certain that this epidemic threatens more than just India!"
The epidemic has an incubation period of several days, during which there are no symptoms, but the carriers are highly infectious.
In the past few days, have any Indians come to China?
Have any Chinese people returned from India?
Certainly, there have!
And definitely more than just one or two.
This means that this epidemic may have already started spreading within China, but is currently in the incubation period and has not yet broken out on a large scale.
Impossible to isolate.
Small countries with little contact with the outside world are still okay.
But large countries like China and North America are inevitably going to be infected.
"The live virus sample is on its way."
The old man's expression was solemn: "Next…"
The next moment.
He locked his gaze on Chen Hao: "Chen Hao will be the person in charge, responsible for this epidemic issue!"
Huh?!
All the scientists were dumbfounded.
It was already strange that Chen Hao appeared with the old man.
After all…
Although his status is extraordinary, he is ultimately just a front man, someone pushed to the forefront by the country.
But now!
Letting a front man be responsible for the epidemic issue?
What a joke?!
"I guarantee the completion of the task!"
Gu Lao was the first to come back to his senses, first making a guarantee to the old man, and then turning to look at Chen Hao: "Chairman Chen, I'll leave the rest to you!"
He understood!
The country needs a front man, and to represent the country, there must be some aura, right?
Just like…
How many mathematicians solved the sunflower conjecture?
To build this front man, they gave the result to Chen Hao.
In short.
The front man needs gilding.
As an older generation scientist, he must unconditionally cooperate with the country.
This time, in response to the Indian epidemic, as the most prestigious person in the field, he will do everything in his power to complete the task, as for the credit falling on Chen Hao… Since the country needs it, he thinks it's normal.
This is Gu Lao's awareness.
Compared to national interests, personal honor and disgrace are insignificant!
"Alright!"
The old man looked at Chen Hao: "Xiao Chen, I'll leave the rest to you."
"You go ahead and get busy, I'll handle things here," Chen Hao smiled.
"Good!"
The old man left.
Next, they had to wait for the live virus to arrive.
Suddenly!
The old man had just left, and the live virus hadn't arrived yet, when Xiang Yan led a group of people in.
The leader was Zhao Jianfeng.
He brought the elite of the gene project department!
After receiving Chen Hao's call, he not only brought his subordinates but also brought a lot of advanced equipment.
"Chairman Chen, am I late?" Zhao Jianfeng asked quickly.
"No."
Chen Hao nodded to him and looked at Gu Lao and the other scientists: "Let me introduce you, this is Zhao Jianfeng, who is engaged in gene science research. Next, he will also join the team and participate in…"
What?!
The scientists led by Gu Lao were completely dumbfounded.
Then came anger.
Previously, everyone saw from Gu Lao's statement that letting Chen Hao be the top person in charge was to gild the front man for the higher-ups.
If the country needed it, they would do their part and were willing to give up the first credit.
Giving the first credit to Chen Hao was fine!
But…
What did it mean to bring another group of people?
With national interests at stake, they had already given up the first credit, but you still brought a group of people to take all the credit?
What they cared about was not the credit, but that the other party's eating habits were too ugly.
You not only ate the meat.
But also divided the soup to your subordinates?
That was too much!
"Chairman Chen!"
Someone couldn't help but stand up: "This mission is about viruses, I don't think gene technology can play a big role!"
He had already expressed it euphemistically.
It was really too infuriating!
Chen Hao was stunned.
Guessing what the other party meant, he was about to tell them that he had never thought of taking credit…
"Chairman Chen! The live virus has arrived!"
Xiang Yan and Shi Dali ran in.
Carrying a refrigerated box.
"Let's get to work!"
Without time to explain, Chen Hao took the box: "Gu Lao, please take people to do virus cultivation!"
"Director Zhao, take your people to immediately conduct a virus genome sequencing analysis!"
"The rest of you come with me to verify the virus attack mechanism!"
"Everyone, get moving!"
What?!
The scientist who had previously questioned Chen Hao was stunned for a moment.
Just the work arrangement…
Was very professional!
"Everyone, get moving, don't be stunned!" Chen Hao shouted.
"Quick! Group up and take action!" Gu Lao shouted.
A group of people immediately split into groups.
Disinfection!
Wearing protective clothing, they went straight to the laboratory.
"Without the infected person, it's difficult to verify the attack mechanism!" Someone raised a question immediately.
"Xiang Yan!"
Chen Hao shouted to Xiang Yan outside through the walkie-talkie: "Have the death row inmates been sent over? Hurry!"
Death row inmates?
That scientist was instantly stunned.
"Is there a problem?" Chen Hao stared at him, his eyes like torches.
Special circumstances.
Special treatment.
The old man had come in person, this epidemic was not just about India, it was likely related to all of humanity, how could they care so much?
"No… no problem!" The scientist shook his head.
"It's too late!"
Gu Lao said anxiously: "The virus has a long incubation period, we can't just wait a few days…"
"What was brought back from India was not just the live virus."
Chen Hao took out a document, distributing it while explaining: "After the patient falls ill, there is an obvious symptom of scratching the neck with both hands."
"This is severe hypoxia, so the virus's target should be the upper and lower respiratory tracts."
"Two possibilities."
"Either attack the lower respiratory tract, causing the lungs to lose their oxygen absorption function."
"Or attack the upper respiratory tract, causing severe edema and blocking the trachea."
"So, instead of waiting for the onset according to the usual procedure, directly apply the virus to the upper and lower respiratory tracts for testing!"
A group of scientists was completely stunned.
Based on the symptoms collected by the embassy, making this series of inferences, the scientists present could also do it.
The problem was…
Everyone identified him as a front man.
They believed that he didn't understand medicine at all!
A virology and infectious disease expert could give similar predictions, but to change it to a layman…
Was he still a layman?
"Mr. Chen, do you… understand medicine?" Gu Lao asked in surprise.
"Huh?!"
Not far away.
Zhao Jianfeng was conducting a genome sequencing analysis.
Hearing Gu Lao's words, he almost choked to death on the spot.
With an incredulous look: "Gu Lao, don't you know?!"
Gu Lao was the father of virology, Zhao Jianfeng certainly respected him very much, but the only person he admired most in his life was Chen Hao!
In his eyes…
Chen Hao was almost no different from a god!
"Know… what?" Gu Lao asked, puzzled.
"Jianfeng!" Chen Hao frowned.
"Yes!"
Zhao Jianfeng didn't continue to speak, and quickly focused on his work.
Not long after, the death row inmates arrived.
Facts speak louder than words!
Without Zhao Jianfeng praising his virtues, Chen Hao's subsequent various professional operations changed the way everyone looked at him.
