Chapter 659 Noah's Ark Base
The team dispatched by Huier Hospital this time was magnificent.
Professor Tang, a veteran in internal medicine, his disciple Wang Sungui, the two directors of the Department of Cardiothoracic Medicine, the three second-level directors of the Department of Neurology, Director Qin of the Department of Hematology, Ye Ru and Tang Zhengyuan of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and more than 30 team members who are developing specific cancer and leukemia drugs.
These people are the backbone or mainstay of Huier Hospital.
Ye Ru, Tang Zhengyuan, Wang Sungui, these people are all rising stars of Huier Hospital.
Among them, Ye Ru and Tang Zhengyuan were both Li Quan's top disciples.
Both of them were very talented, and with enough hard work and Li Quan's generous teaching, their medical skills improved very quickly. Whether in theory or practice, they were far superior to their peers.
Both of them took the path of combining Chinese and Western medicine.
At the same time, each has its own focus.
Tang Zhengyuan majored in orthopedics, including orthopedic surgery and orthopedic internal medicine, and can treat rheumatism, arthritis, fractures, sprains, etc.
Ye Ru focuses on blood diseases, including leukemia, hemophilia, etc.
At the same time, under the guidance of Li Quan, she also studied internal medicine.
Because she is a girl, she is not as physically strong as men, but girls are more careful and have certain advantages in diagnosing and treating internal medicine diseases.
"Dean, why do I feel a little scared when I walk in here? I can't explain it, I just feel a little scared." Ye Ru subconsciously followed Li Quan closely.
The people selected this time are mainly elites in internal medicine.
The elites from departments such as obstetrics and gynecology, surgery, and ophthalmology did not come.
Because the zombie virus mainly invades nerve cells, it also damages multiple organ tissues throughout the body, including blood, organs, lymphatic system, and skin.
Surgery specializes in various surgeries, while internal medicine excels in interventional surgery, disease course research, pharmacology research, etc.
People who often go to the hospital will find that surgeons often send patients to the operating room for treatment. Internal medicine doctors like to have patients undergo a series of examinations, then write down a lot of information in a notebook, and finally prescribe a bunch of medicine for patients to take.
Of course, when encountering some emergency situations, the internal medicine's ability to treat and save lives is no less than that of surgery.
He is quite skilled in various interventional surgeries, fistula creation, and intubation.
It is undeniable that internal medicine is indeed better than surgery in studying the progression of the disease.
"With so many people here, what's there to be afraid of? Besides, haven't you been practicing the Five Animal Exercises breathing method with me recently? Even if there is real danger, you can easily handle it with your current strength."
Li Quan has been practicing the Five Animal Exercises breathing method unremittingly in recent years.
You can improve a little bit every day.
Now he was very close to the master realm, and only 2% of skill points were needed to advance to the next level.
His strength is close to that of a martial arts master even in ancient times.
It is estimated that he can be comparable to the leaders of Wudang, Shaolin and the like.
So, even though it was dangerous here, he remained calm and composed.
After they passed through the first iron gate, what came into view was a complex of buildings that resembled ancient mansions.
If you want to get in, you have to go through many levels.
At this time, a woman in military uniform in her thirties walked out.
There was no grand welcome, just her.
However, the aura of this woman in military uniform is so strong that no one dares to underestimate her.
"On behalf of the government, I welcome all the medical staff. Let me introduce myself. My name is Yang Di, and I am the person in charge here. In the future, you can report any problems to me. As long as I can solve them, I will do my best to meet your needs."
She said with a smile.
"Ms. Yang, where is this place?" Ye Ru still seemed a little scared.
She hurriedly asked Yang Di where this was.
"This is called Noah's Ark Base, also known as Doomsday Fortress No. 4. Because the zombie virus this time is particularly serious, if it is not handled properly, it may even lead to the extinction of the human species. So we activated the Noah's Ark Base and drew a large number of top elites from major hospitals and medical research institutions across the country.
I want to gather all of your strength and strive to develop a drug ."
Yang Di didn't smile this time, her expression was very serious.
Perhaps, she wanted to use this method to tell everyone that this zombie virus is more serious than imagined.
The history of mankind with written records is only about 5,000 years old.
If we count from the time when the first primate appeared on this planet, humans have existed for about 5 million years. If we count from the time when true ancient humans appeared, humans have existed for about 65,000 years.
During this process, although mankind has suffered all kinds of hardships, it has never encountered a crisis that would lead to human extinction.
Including the smallpox, the Black Death, various plagues that were rampant, and even the outbreak of wars among humans, none of them were serious enough to destroy the entire human race.
But this time, the zombie virus brought from outer space poses a threat to the extinction of humanity.
This shows the seriousness of the matter.
"You are the legendary Dean Li Quan, right? You look even younger than I imagined." After Yang Di finished introducing this place, her pair of almond-shaped eyes fell on Li Quan's face.
She had apparently been notified long ago that experts from the Wheeler Hospital would join the Noah's Ark base.
"I am not a legendary figure, but just an ordinary doctor in reality. Thanks to the support of more than 7,000 employees of Huier Hospital and the favor of the leaders of various competent departments, I became the dean, that's all."
Li Quan appears very humble.
It must be extraordinary for this woman to be the person in charge of this base.
He didn't dare to act arrogantly in front of her.
Countless practices have proved that the best way to avoid being slapped in the face is to keep a low profile.
"Haha, Dean Li is so modest! Didn't you solve the last small-scale outbreak of unknown fungi in the capital? Also, the Black Jade Ointment you developed is a blessing for our soldiers.
Injuries during training are inevitable.
What I feared most in the past were various fractures or sprains of joints and ligaments.
Because it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, the recovery period is extremely long. This also means that we have to rest for a long time and may even miss many important tasks.
With the Black Jade Interruption Cream you developed, I can simply apply it to the injured area and be back on the training ground in less than a week.
Many of our soldiers would like to meet you and say thank you in person."
When she said this, her gratitude to Li Quan was beyond words.
Li Quan felt ashamed.
How can I be so great?
It's just that we took the wisdom of the ancients and applied it in modern times.
At most, he is a knowledge carrier.
"Oh, I was so busy talking that I almost forgot what I was doing. Let me lead you in first. For the sake of safety and confidentiality, your cell phone signals will be blocked after you enter the base, and you will not be able to contact the outside world.
The networks here are all intranets and can only be used to search for information.
But if you need anything, you can ask me for permission to use the base’s landline.”
As Yang Di spoke, she led Li Quan and others inside.
The environment they were in now was a corridor, about ten meters long.
At the end of the corridor there is another large iron door.
Judging from the thickness of this iron door, even a missile might not be able to penetrate it.
To open it, you need to verify the fingerprint, iris, and digital triple password.
Only Yang Di has the authority to open it.
After entering this iron door, there is a closed passage.
It's kind of like a tunnel.
You can see black holes on the walls on both sides of the passage.
Li Quan felt his scalp tingling as he walked in the passage. If he guessed correctly, those black holes were probably shooting holes.
If by any chance they are infected with the zombie virus and want to escape from here.
When they pass through this passage, they will be shot mercilessly.
After exiting this passage, everyone's eyes were brightened. This was a large courtyard. It was somewhat similar to a siheyuan, but more complicated.
There are rockery in the courtyard, a fish pond and lotus flowers, where you can see red goldfish wagging their tails.
Some evergreen plants are planted in the flower beds.
"This is the front yard, which is the living area for all researchers. At night or when you are tired, you can come back here to sleep, or sit and chat, read a book, play chess, whatever. You can even do some square dancing as long as it does not disturb others."
After Yang Di finished speaking, she led Li Quan and others directly to the eleventh building on the left.
"Due to the limited space in the base, we are unable to provide a home-like living experience for everyone. On behalf of the base, I would like to apologize. This building has fifty-one rooms, all of which are currently unused. Please ask Dean Li to make the arrangements for the specifics."
She was lazy and directly threw the task of dividing the rooms to Li Quan.
"Ms. Yang, are all the other buildings occupied?" Ye Ru asked like a curious baby.
"Well, currently only eleven buildings are empty. The other small buildings are occupied, with only a few rooms being unoccupied."
Her words were equivalent to indirectly telling Li Quan and others that all the experts who should be invited had already been hired.
"When it comes to assigning rooms, ladies will be given priority. It would be best for you twelve ladies to choose two separate floors." The team members that Li Quan brought this time consisted of forty-seven people, only twelve of whom were ladies.
It can also be seen from this point that women are indeed weaker than men in many aspects.
The twelve ladies discussed it with some chatter, and finally chose the top two floors.
The remaining floors belong to the men.
After the rooms were divided, everyone put their luggage in their own rooms and then followed Yang Di to continue familiarizing themselves with the base's environment.
"That's the restaurant, and the food is free. If the food doesn't suit your taste, you can ask the chef. But it's hard to please everyone, so I hope everyone will try to accommodate. The main thing is to balance the nutrition.
If everything goes well, you will probably be able to leave after staying here for a month or two at most."
The restaurant and dormitory have been introduced.
She led everyone through the third door.
But this time it was not an iron door, but a transparent glass door.
"Behind this glass door is the work area. It's a fully enclosed environment. There are various laboratories, patients infected with the zombie virus, and those who have died. Everyone must pay attention to safety.
All patients infected with the zombie virus have strength more than three times that of normal people.
Once you are scratched or bitten by them, according to current statistics, the infection rate is 100%.
Another point to note is that the bodies of those infected people who died still have the ability to transmit the virus. Whether it is their blood or other tissues, once they invade broken skin or mucous membranes, they can infect people with the zombie virus.
Not long ago, an expert did not wear gloves when dissecting the body of an infected person.
I accidentally got the blood of an infected person on the back of my hand, and then unfortunately I was infected with the zombie virus."
She said it in a scary way.
Everyone had a look of fear as if they were facing a great enemy.
"There is no need to be overly afraid. As long as you wear protective clothing and gloves and avoid direct contact with the bodies of infected people, you will be fine."
The transmission of the zombie virus should be similar to that of rabies virus and HIV. It needs to invade the human body through broken skin tissue or human mucous membranes.
If the skin is not broken, you will not be infected even if it comes into contact with the blood or saliva of an infected person.
"Let's go in!"
This time she just pressed her fingerprint and the glass door opened automatically .
"You all enter one by one, and keep your eyes open. It will memorize your iris information. When you come in and out of , you only need to glance at this collection probe and it will open automatically."
Yang Di pointed at the iris recognition area on the glass door and asked everyone to stare at it one by one.
After finally recording everyone's iris information, all forty-seven people entered the work area.
At this time, bursts of non-human roars could be heard coming from some rooms.
It was as if the beasts were trapped and roaring.
I guess those are the infected people.
"Team Leader Dai, could you please come over here? A new group of research members have arrived." Yang Di shouted towards a laboratory.
"Hold on!"
After waiting for about ten minutes, a middle-aged man with gray hair walked out of the laboratory.
He was still wearing protective rubber gloves and thick protective clothing, including a helmet, which protected him from the wind and rain.
"Oh, they are basically all young people. Where did they come from? Were they temporarily recruited from some medical university?" After scanning everyone, Team Leader Dai's face showed deep disappointment.
Maybe what he wanted to wait for was a group of experts, at least over 50 years old, so that they would have some experience.
They are so young, probably just a bunch of rookies who can’t even sew leather.
"Hmph, don't look down on us. We are from Huier Hospital." Ye Ru snorted angrily.
Huier Hospital has grown rapidly under the leadership of Li Quan, and now every employee of Huier Hospital is proud to be a part of Huier Hospital.
When introducing myself, I would also proudly say that I am Doctor XX from Huier Hospital.
"Here, no one cares which hospital you work for. As long as you have the ability, you will be given important positions. Otherwise, you will only be a handyman and do some unimportant research projects."
Team Leader Dai's tone became noticeably colder.
Ye Ru wanted to argue a little more but was stopped by Li Quan.
