Chapter 624 Race with Time

When Wu Tianlin first arrived in Xiuli County, he was not familiar with the place and although he had a purpose in his heart, he was still in the dark. However, finding the source of the virus is undoubtedly a very exciting thing for Wu Tianlin and the others. After all, time waits for no one. Now they can basically be said to be racing against time. If they fail to find out the source of the virus in time and develop a vaccine to treat this virus, a virus disaster similar to SARS may happen again.

According to Wu Tianlin's instructions, William conducted a test on the water samples of several wells in Xiuzhuang. It was found that except for one well on the back mountain in Xiuzhuang, there was no virus contamination, all other wells contained this unknown virus. Wu Tianlin was very confused about this situation, but now he did not have any extra time to consider this issue, so he immediately buried his head in various research.

The dusk in late autumn always comes quickly. Before the water vapor evaporated by the sunlight in the mountains dissipated, the sun set into the west mountain. The sunset burned like flames, covering half of the sky. Since Xiuzhuang is located in the suburbs of Xiuli County, the air here is particularly clear at this time, like glass, and a soft mist is shrouded in the distance. From a distance, it looks like a landscape painting with bright colors wiped out. The only regret is that because of the virus, the people of Xiuzhuang all went away, making this beautiful picture lose its color.

Time passed by minute by minute. When the last sunset in the west had melted into the dark twilight, Wu Tianlin and his team still made no progress in their research. Originally, Wu Tianlin was preparing to continue the research, but because Wei Zhongxi had already arrived in Xiuli County and it was already dark, it was obviously impossible to continue the experiment here. In the end, Wu Tianlin could only give up the idea of ​​continuing the experiment locally and asked William to collect some water samples and prepare to take it back to the county town for the experiment.

Wu Tianlin packed up his things and smiled and said to Ruan Yuguang who had been waiting for him for a long time: "Secretary Ruan! I don't say that you are taking time out of your busy schedule to arrive in Xiuli County. Now I'm sorry to have you waited for me in this wilderness for the whole afternoon."

When Ruan Yuguang heard Wu Tianlin's words, he quickly replied politely: "Doctor Wu! Look at what you said, you and your colleagues have traveled thousands of miles to our Xiuli County for the sake of our Xiuli County people. I thank you so much, so why would you have different ideas? As the Secretary of the Dingzhong Municipal Party Committee, Xiuli County, I feel very guilty that this happens in Xiuli County, so as long as this virus crisis can be successfully resolved, let alone accompany you for an afternoon, I am willing to accompany you even for a month."

Wu Tianlin knew that what Ruan Yuguang said was indeed a true truth. As the secretary of the Dingzhong Municipal Party Committee, there was such a serious virus incident in Xiuli County, and he had an unshirkable responsibility. If they really could not control the virus this time, once the virus spreads, not to mention these officials in Xiuli County, even the secretary of the municipal party committee would be implicated because of the virus problem in Xiuli County, and they might even be dismissed.

Wu Tianlin smiled at Ruan Yuguang and said, "Secretary Ruan! You are a secretary of the municipal party committee. There are countless tasks you have to deal with every day, and many things are not something you, the secretary of the municipal party committee, and the problems in Xiuli County are originally very complicated. They intend to conceal your Dingzhong Municipal Party Committee, so you naturally cannot know, so you don't have to blame yourself too much at this time. By the way! Your deputy secretary Wei Zhongxi of the Provincial Party Committee has arrived in Xiuli County just now. Let's go back first!"

After Ruan Yuguang arranged the matter, he went to Wu Tianlin to see that the other party had been addicted to research experiments, so in order not to disturb the other party's work, he returned to the car at the intersection and waited for the other party to finish his work. As a result, he received a call from Wei Zhongxi not long ago, asking where Wu Tianlin was currently, so he returned to Wu Tianlin's work site again. As a result, he saw Wu Tianlin packing up his things and preparing to go back.

As the secretary of the Dingzhong Municipal Party Committee, when Ruan Yuguang saw Wu Tianlin packing things, his first thought was to ask Wu Tianlin's research results. However, before he could ask, Wu Tianlin took the lead. At this time, when he heard Wu Tianlin mention Wei Zhongxi, he nodded and replied: "Doctor Wu! Secretary Wei has called me before. I just asked Director Lin of Xiuli County Public Security Bureau to be responsible for entertaining Secretary Wei on behalf of me."

When Wu Tianlin heard Ruan Yuguang's words, he did not waste time and said to Ruan Yuguang: "Secretary Ruan! Since that's the case, let's go back quickly!"

The two cars carried Wu Tianlin and the others towards the county town together. Ruan Yuguang was sitting in the car and enjoyed the bumps that were difficult to enjoy. He looked at Wu Tianlin sitting beside him. After all, he was the secretary of the Dingzhong Municipal Party Committee, so what he was most concerned about in his heart is the research results of Wu Tianlin and the others. So before the car had been driving for a long time, he asked Wu Tianlin: "Doctor Wu! I saw that you and your colleagues had been busy for the afternoon, but I wonder if there was any result?"

Ruan Yuguang would ask this question Wu Tianlin was not surprised at all. If he didn't ask, it would surprise him. So when he heard Ruan Yuguang's question, he didn't think much about it and replied directly: "Secretary Ruan! This afternoon, we conducted various tests on the water source of Xiuzhuang, and finally we can confirm that Xiuzhuang is indeed the origin of this unknown virus. However, we have not found a vaccine to restrain this virus so far. There is another problem we have not found. According to our inspection of the water quality of Xiuzhuang, the water samples in Xiuzhuang stream were severely exceeded the standard, but no virus was found. However, when we tested the water quality of several wells in Xiuzhuang, we found that except for the water quality of the well on the hillside, the entire Xiuzhuang had this virus in several wells. This phenomenon is very strange. However, because we only have four of us, the focus of our work is to find the vaccine to restrain this virus first, and then look for this answer."

When Ruan Yuguang heard Wu Tianlin's answer, he thought about it for a while and said to Wu Tianlin: "Doctor Wu! Thank you very much for your help in Xiuli County. I will call to implement the arrangements for investigating the source of the virus later. In addition, if you have enough staff, if not enough, I can draw some doctors from the municipal hospital specialists to assist you in your work."

Since before we arrived in Xiuli County, we could not determine whether Xiuli County was the origin of the virus, and the work in the hospital was very tense, Wu Tianlin could not draw more people to go to Xiuli County to engage in research and investigation. Now, although they have found the source of the virus, no matter how high their medical skills are, the hope of the four of them trying to develop a vaccine for the virus in a short period of time is obviously very slim. In addition, he knew the purpose of the other party's suggestion, so when Wu Tianlin heard Ruan Yuguang's suggestion, he immediately nodded in agreement and replied: "Secretary Ruan! If this is the case, it would be great. There are many people and great strength. At present, we can almost say that we are racing against time. If there are enough people to assist, our research work will be much easier."

The reason why Ruan Yuguang made this suggestion was because he saw that Wu Tianlin and the others had only four, and he was afraid that they would delay the research speed. However, because due to the other party's identity, it was difficult to directly send someone to intervene in the investigation and research work, so he adopted this tactful method and carefully put forward this suggestion to Wu Tianlin.

Now when he heard Wu Tianlin agreeing to let Dingzhong City's medical department also intervene in Xiuli County's virus investigation, he was happy and ordered Lin Feng who was sitting in front of him: "Xiaolin! Call Mayor Wang immediately and inform him of the current situation in Xiuli County, so that he could immediately organize the health department to arrive in Xiuli County overnight, so that he could devote himself to the research work tomorrow morning."

Lin Feng responded immediately when he heard Ruan Yuguang's orders and immediately took out his cell phone. When he was about to implement Ruan Yuguang's instructions, his cell phone rang out of place at this time. When he heard the ringtone of the cell phone, Lin Feng looked down at the caller ID on his cell phone. Seeing that it was Zheng Jianhua's mobile phone number, he turned his head to report to Ruan Yuguanghui: "Secretary Ruan! It's Zheng Jianhua, Secretary of Xiuli County Party Committee, and he called at this time. I guess he was waiting for us to have supper."

When Ruan Yuguang heard Lin Feng’s report, he frowned and ordered Lin Feng: "Xiaolin! Now whenever I think of Zheng Jianhua and Gu Weiping, I am angry and can’t eat any more. If you tell him, I will have dinner with Dr. Wu and the others in the evening. If you ask him and Gu Weiping to do whatever they should do, don’t wait for us to eat."

Lin Feng nodded when he heard Ruan Yuguang's instructions and pressed the answer button on his phone. Before he could speak, Zheng Jianhua immediately heard the phone call and said kindly: "Secretary Lin! Hello! I am Zheng Jianhua. Is Secretary Ruan with you now? The investigation team sent to our Xiuli County in the city has arrived in Xiuli County. Now everyone is waiting for Secretary Ruan to come back for dinner."

When Lin Feng heard Zheng Jianhua's words, he smiled and replied, "Secretary Zheng! Hello! That's right. Secretary Ruan wants to accompany Dr. Wu and the others to have dinner in the evening, so that you can do your own things and don't have to wait for him to have dinner."

Zheng Jianhua on the other end of the phone knew very well that Ruan Yuguang would definitely not sit with him for dinner. The reason why he made this call was entirely out of dealing with it. After all, the other party was the secretary of the municipal party committee. When the other party came to Xiuli County, he, as the secretary of the county party committee, had to do a good job on the surface. So when he heard Lin Feng's answer, he pretended to be regretful and replied: "It seems that Secretary Ruan is quite dissatisfied with the work in Xiuli County. I originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to have dinner to give Secretary Ruan a profound review of the current situation in Xiuli County, and at the same time expressed his sincere apology to Dr. Wu and his colleagues for the misunderstanding that happened today. However, now it seems that the leader is definitely giving birth to us subordinates who concealed work. Since that's the case, let's wait tomorrow."

When Lin Feng heard Zheng Jianhua's words, he did not comment on Zheng Jianhua's answer. Instead, he said goodbye to Zheng Jianhua directly, hung up the phone, and then took the phone to implement the work Ruan Yuguang had previously explained.

Wu Tianlin looked at Lin Feng making a phone call and turned his head to Ruan Yuguang beside him and said, "Secretary Ruan! As the saying goes, half is gold and half is sewage. At noon today, we extracted the water sample from Xiuxi for testing and found that there were great problems with the water quality of Xiuxi. Although I have not yet gone to the gold mine upstream of Xiuxi, based on this water sample analysis, I can determine that the gold mine upstream is quite large, and its sewage discharge has not been treated at all. It is discharged directly into Xiuxi. According to the international blood lead diagnostic standards: equal to or greater than 100 micrograms/liter, it is lead poisoning, so as long as

Drinking water from Xiuxiu will definitely cause blood lead to exceeding the standard. Lead is a heavy metal element with neurotoxicity. It is one of the heavy metals with the most toxicity and strong accumulation. The content of lead element in the blood exceeds the normal value of blood lead content. If it is too high, it indicates that lead poisoning occurs, which will cause a series of abnormal manifestations of the body's nervous system, blood system, and digestive system. Although we cannot prove at present whether the culprit of Xiuzhuang's virus is due to the pollution of gold mines, I am sure there must be some connections between the two that we have not found yet."

When Ruan Yuguang heard Wu Tianlin's answer, the anger in his heart surged up again and cursed indignantly: "I am really ashamed to talk about this. If you and your colleagues had not come here this time, I would have been kept in the dark. This is enough to show that I am not a qualified municipal party secretary. Otherwise, these cadres would not be lawless. So no matter what, I will destroy this gold mine, punish these corrupt officials, and give justice to the people of Xiuli County."

Wu Tianlin is not an official. Although he was angry at the lawless behavior in Xiuli County, he was no longer the young man who hated evil and was prone to impulsiveness. He had already given Ruan Yuguang a promise before. So when he heard Ruan Yuguang's words, he did not make any comments. Instead, he said to Ruan Yuguang with a smile: "Secretary Ruan! Although you are the secretary of the municipal party committee, the secretary of the municipal party committee is also a human being, not the omnipotent Sun Dasheng. There are already many things you have to deal with every day, and it is possible to achieve a comprehensive range.
