The rise of nanometers

Night falls, the weather is crisp and clear in autumn, and the starry sky without any clouds is filled with the everlasting stars and bright moon.

Leaning by the car window, his eyes swept across the side of the road, where the dark shadows of the trees occasionally revealed a few rays of light. The bulletproof glass blocked out external sounds, making the car exceptionally quiet.

This kind of unfocused memory will soon be cleared from his brain. The memory storage capacity of a hypermemory patient is precious. He only retains general pictures of many things, and other useless and bloated memories can only be kicked out. mind.

Even if they can control the entry and deletion of memories, hypermemory patients must pay great attention to the memory storage capacity. Once the memory is exceeded, it will easily cause confusion in thinking.

Huang Xiuyuan sighed silently in his heart: The scenery on this road is too ordinary, and my brain has no place for this scenery.

The convoy set off from the urban area of ​​Shanmei and headed for Zhelang Town in the Red Bay of Shantou.

After driving for more than half an hour, we arrived near a remote coastal village, where there was a factory with towering walls.

In the car's high beams, the sign of the Shantou-Mei Red Bay Institute of Marine Biology comes into view.

After entering the research institute, the security captain of the research institute took Huang Xiuyuan and others to a warehouse near the seaside. Inside was a small ferry.

This time I came here to go to the biological laboratory he asked Fengmin Agriculture to establish. Just in case, the biological laboratory was fully closed and was located on an isolated island.

The Gudao laboratory is officially under the Institute of Marine Biology, but in fact, it is engaged in biological research on various poultry and livestock.

The ferry's diesel engine roared, and the propeller pushed the ferry toward the open sea. Soon the ferry disappeared on the coastline, heading for Caiyu Island, which is seven or eight kilometers away.

Under the vast night, the surroundings were dark, but soon they saw the light, which was the lighthouse of Caiyu Island.

After ten minutes, the ferry docked at the simple pier. The entire island is not big, only about 2.6 square kilometers.

In addition to the lighthouse that stays lit all night, there are also very large buildings on it. Looking down from a high altitude, the outline of Caiyu Island looks like a running pig, and the lighthouse looks like a pig's eyes.

"Chairman, Caiyu Island is currently divided into three areas. The dock where we are located is the storage area, the lighthouse is the living area, and the second half is the scientific research area." Huang Xiaoguang, the security director of Caiyu Island, introduced it to him.

Huang Xiu looked far away and found that the island was divided into three obvious areas. As he walked, he asked, "Can the daily necessities on the island be guaranteed?"

Meng Wuxin, the laboratory's logistics director, replied nervously: "Chairman, in terms of logistics support, we specialize in transporting fresh vegetables, fruits and meat every two days."

"What about other supporting facilities?"

"We specially paid to lay a submarine optical fiber and add satellite signal towers, which makes it very convenient to access the Internet."

Huang Xiuyuan took out his mobile phone and found that the signal was indeed good. He turned his head and looked at Li Wenchang, the technical director of the laboratory:

"Wen Cang, laboratory safety must be done well. Biological research is very dangerous."

"Chairman, don't worry, our operating regulations are the strictest in the world, and there will never be any problems." Li Wenchang is a middle-aged short man with very sharp eyes.

Huang Xiuyuan shook his head: "Don't be too complacent. Even if you have good internal management, you still need to be prepared to prevent natural and man-made disasters."

A natural or man-made disaster? Li Wenchang couldn't react for a while.

Huang Xiaoguang, who has been engaged in security work, immediately understood that the security of the Suiren Department has always been directly managed by the Ministry of Security.

In the onboarding training of the Security Department, there is a lot of anti-internet and anti-infiltration content, as well as emergency plans for special circumstances.

These emergency plans include sudden outbreaks of war, large-scale natural disasters, and out-of-control biological research.

As an island, the Caiyu Island Biological Laboratory has reduced its exchanges with external personnel, but it should not relax its vigilance at all when it comes to preparations.

For example, some enemies use submarines to carry out special infiltration; earthquakes in surrounding areas trigger large tsunamis; laboratory personnel are bribed to leak biological viruses and bacteria in the laboratory.

Things like these need to be considered, rather than just strict internal control, everything will be fine.

Huang Xiaoguang said in a low voice: "Chairman, don't worry, the security level of Caiyu Island is A-5. I will use my own life to protect the safety here."

"Well! Take precautions and don't be careless."

The so-called Level A 5 security is an internal management evaluation system established by the Suiren Department of Security. It is divided into four major levels: A, B, C and D, and each major level is divided into five sub-levels.

Generally, biological research projects are Grade A.

As for Caiyu Island's Level A 5 laboratory, it is equipped with a self-explosion device and a forced killing system. If there is any problem in the laboratory, it will enter the first level of alert.

Huang Xiuyuan, led by Li Wenchang and others, first went to the living area and visited the researchers, logistics personnel and security personnel working in the laboratory.

There are nearly three hundred people in the entire Caiyu Island Laboratory. This is not a small institution, but a large research base.

After paying condolences to the people in the living area, he walked along the seawall passage and passed through six or seven gates before entering the scientific research area of ​​the laboratory.

On the side of the channel facing the sea, there are many bulletproof glass windows, and the outside is a welded steel mesh. You can see that there are many floating rafts floating on the sea, which are experimental floating rafts for cultivating abalone, scallops and the like.

These experimental floats are real experiments, and are handled by the Institute of Marine Biology. Since this is called the Institute of Marine Biology, it has to be a full set of dramas.

After passing the last gate, you enter the periphery of the scientific research area. The structure here adopts a box-type design.

The box-in-box design, as the name suggests, is a large box inside a small box. The Caiyu Island Biological Laboratory has three layers, and the entire scientific research area is divided into an outer layer, a middle layer, and an inner layer.

Each floor has only one entrance and exit, which are managed and closed in an emergency respectively.

After arriving at the outer level, Huang Xiuyuan and others disinfected their entire bodies and put on the highest level of protective equipment before entering the middle level of the laboratory.

The middle floor is divided into dozens of rooms, with functions such as breeding, observation, destruction, testing, and deployment.

Li Wenchang inserted his employee card and entered the password. After everyone came to a pig breeding room, there were more than 20 local black pigs.

"Chairman, these black pigs are hybrid breeds cultivated by Fengmin. Their feed conversion efficiency is worse than imported white pigs, but they have better disease resistance, especially foot-and-mouth disease. As long as the pig house is kept relatively dry, they will basically not be affected. Easily get sick.”

Huang Xiuyuan looked at the computer data in the breeding room, turned around and asked, "What about the research on anti-African swine fever?"

Li Wenchang looked a little embarrassed: "The vaccine test was not ideal. The protein of the African swine fever virus is too complex and the vaccine cannot act accurately."

For this result, Huang Xiuyuan expected that the genetic sequence length of African swine fever virus is 24 times that of foot-and-mouth disease virus and about 15 times that of ancient swine fever virus.

If the genetic sequence is too long, it will be difficult for the vaccine to accurately target the virus. This is also an important reason why humans have been helpless since the discovery of African swine fever in 1921.

However, the virus has been unable to be conquered, and there is another important influencing factor, which is man-made disasters.
