Xiaomi Heavy Industry, its first entrepreneurial venture!

Chapter 691 Universal Evolution? (Third Update!)

Lin Yi sensed something amiss, frowned, and pondered for a moment before voicing his doubts:
"You mean, inject everyone with a booster to fight off this potential virus!"

"Correct!"

"Great idea!" Lin Yi praised Leng Yun readily. After a couple of compliments, he held up three fingers. "Then let me ask you, firstly, where will the money come from!"

"Secondly, how do you convince them to get the injection?"

"Thirdly, if the virus had not appeared, or had not spread to China, who would take responsibility for the hindsight consequences after the vaccination?"

This question also caused Leng Yun to fall silent.

After all, what Lin Yi said was true. There are over a billion people in the country. Even if each person spends just one yuan, that's still over a billion yuan. And from the current perspective, this potion is not cheap. Even if Lin Yi only charges for the materials, it would still be a huge sum of money spread over a billion people.

At this juncture, it's simply impossible to come up with that much money.

Moreover, these days many people feel like they've been given a shot to prevent miscarriage, and they react negatively to the mere mention of vaccination, let alone this kind of medication.

As for Lin Yi's last point, it can only be described as a 50/50 split.

Rather than the basic laws of virus transmission, he was more inclined to believe that America's gang of scoundrels would find a way to spread the virus around the world and drag the whole world down with them.

Or rather, they have been dragging the whole world down with them from the very beginning.

Hindsight is 20/20!

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and looked at Lin Yi very seriously, saying, "That's why I contacted you and asked you to come over."

"I just want to ask about a few minutes."

"First, if it is a complete drug, will the resistance increase significantly and will it be able to withstand so many viruses at the same time?"

"Secondly, what is the minimum cost if we use the current medication?"

"Thirdly, if we lower the current standards for the drug, it might only allow people to develop sufficient resistance, but what would the cost be then?"

Lin Yi had anticipated Leng Yun's thoughts, and after she finished asking, he decisively spread his hands:

"To answer your first point, the issue with the complete drug was never about cost, but rather about the equipment."

“I spoke with Saeed on the phone a couple of days ago. He told me that Sall had received some of the equipment, but the rest was still unavailable. The reason for the delay was that the EU and America had tightened their controls, so it would take longer to get the rest.”

"The majority of the remaining cases are because the equipment hasn't been manufactured yet."

"If we want to start large-scale production in a short period of time, we need to get all the equipment from the biological laboratories that we can in China and put them together."

"We also have to put people together. This way, we can produce some things, but the quality of the finished products cannot be guaranteed."

"And I can't guarantee..." Lin Yi's voice trailed off, then he gave Leng Yun an innocent smile: "I can't guarantee that the people in the various laboratories will follow my standards and requirements to carry out production."

After saying this, Leng Yun looked puzzled, but before he could speak, Lin Yi raised his hand to stop him: "Don't ask!"

“If you carefully review the two times America’s labs were burned down, you’ll find that there’s something fishy going on.”

"Then there's point number 2!"

"Assuming the equipment meets the requirements."

"I can do it without any fees, but I'm not responsible for the materials."

"In this situation, if a drug were to be developed that could combat the virus, the price of the related materials would skyrocket."

“The soaring prices are only one aspect; the more important factor is hoarding and speculation.”

"I can't guarantee that!"

"As for point 3, as long as you can guarantee the supply of materials for point 2, that's easy to discuss!"

"That's absolutely not a big deal!"

After answering Leng Yun's three questions, Lin Yi tapped his fingers lightly on the table: "So, did the boss approve of you doing this?"

"This is going to be difficult!"

At this point, Leng Yun showed a helpless expression, turned around, picked up the documents Lin Yi had placed on the table, opened them, and explained as she read:
"The leaders are even more frustrated than we are!"

"As soldiers, all we need to do is eliminate the enemy, but what we are about to encounter is not an enemy in the conventional sense, but an invisible enemy."

"More importantly, we can't just launch two nuclear bombs and blow up the place like in the Resident Evil movies to prevent the virus from spreading."

"As for physical isolation..."

Extremely annoyed, Leng Yun threw the documents in her hand onto the table, turned and walked to the water dispenser, poured herself a glass of ice water, gulped it down to calm herself down, and then turned back to continue:
"Tell me that we are about to emerge from the impact of the financial crisis and that we are about to live a good life."

"If we suddenly have to cut off ties with other trading countries, what do you think we should do?"

"It's none of my business!" Lin Yi said decisively, and also nonchalantly, spreading his hands: "That's not something I should be thinking about. What I just said is what I just said. The rest has nothing to do with me."

His direct attempt to discourage the old man left Leng Yun speechless. She poured herself another glass of water and took out her blood pressure medication from her pocket. After drinking the water and taking down two pills, the old man's expression eased slightly.
"Your words are enough."

"I'll have the orderly take you to the next meeting room. You can prepare a relevant report there, mainly about the cost and time. Make sure you clarify these two points."

"After I finish discussing this and compile the reports here, I'll send your report to the leader along with the reports."

"Let's see what the leader thinks!"

Nodding, Lin Yi turned and left the joint command center, following the orderly downstairs to the reception room.

In the joint command center, Leng Yun looked at the huge sand table in front of him, rested his chin on his hand and said, "Then we can basically focus on Japan, South Korea and India."

“These three countries are the most populous in the surrounding area and have the most exchanges with America. If there is a virus leak, America will definitely put their minds at ease and not worry.”

“Once the virus spreads to their local area and causes problems, they will definitely try to shift the blame. At that time, the only ones who can help them shift the blame will be us.”

"As for South Korea, they don't have many options. I estimate they can only use tactics in terms of public opinion and the economy, which won't hurt our core interests. As long as they don't do anything reckless, we can basically ignore them."

"Japan is expected to take both economic and military action simultaneously. We have close economic ties with them, so if they use economic means against us, they will also hurt themselves."

"It belongs to the Seven Injury Fist."

"It's mainly about force. The force they use is their ships, which are loitering around the edges of our islands and causing trouble."

"We don't have enough boats, so we don't need to worry about them too much. Let them have their fun."

"The final focus is India. India is absolutely capable of taking action to shift the blame, so we must pay close attention to them."

“If they really make a move, we’ll cut off their hands and their heads too, and scare off the others who want to pounce on us and take a bite out of us. If that doesn’t work, we’ll cut them all off as well.” After saying the last word, Leng Yun picked up the flag in his hand and planted it in New Delhi.

As the flag was planted, the people nearby burst into cheerful laughter, especially the younger ones.

After they finished laughing, Leng Yun smiled and said, "I'll give you two hours to prepare the relevant strategies for me."

"Two and a half hours later, I need to take the relevant report to see my supervisor."

In a word.

The laughter disappeared.

Leng Yun walked out of the command center, went downstairs, and found Lin Yi in the meeting room. He discovered that Lin Yi was writing a report, so he simply asked the orderly for a cup of tea and then sat down next to him.

And so, in the meeting room, one of them wrote a report, and the other drank tea.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye. Lin Yi stopped typing on the computer, picked up the cold tea beside him, and took a sip.
"The report is finished, would you like to take a look?"

Leng Yun leaned closer to the computer and carefully studied the contents of the document. After a while, he turned around and said, "You don't seem surprised that America released a virus to threaten the whole world?"

"Why should it be a surprise?"

"It's mainly...it's mainly your generation of young people who are more affected. Many people feel...feel..."

"You think America is a beacon of freedom, incapable of doing something like this? Right?" Lin Yi finished Leng Yun's sentence, then picked up the now-cold tea, sat down on the sofa next to him, and crossed his legs.
"To personify a country is a very foolish thing to do."

"Unfortunately, my vision is broad enough that I wouldn't do something so foolish."

"Moreover, I'm someone who puts my own interests first. If I put myself in their shoes, I would do the same!"

"And isn't that exactly what we did? There was just a tiny little mishap."

A small accident...

Leng Yun fell silent again. According to the original plan, they were to use Adria to announce to the world's wealthy that there was a gene enhancement drug here, and that they should come quickly, spend money, and find a way to live longer.

The wealthy who are willing to spend money will do so, while those who are unwilling to spend money will inevitably resort to crooked means.

We need to find a way to get the medicine back so we can conduct our own research.

When these people start doing research, they're bound to cause trouble, and once they do, there'll be plenty of fun to come.

As long as it's fun enough, all the effort is worthwhile.

The only thing Leng Yun and the others hadn't anticipated was that this world was a huge makeshift operation, and a makeshift operation to an absurd degree.

In just a few days, less than a month.

Two laboratories caught fire in quick succession, one of which was the renowned Fort Detrick, a laboratory that was said to be able to withstand even a nuclear attack and that would take several divisions to capture.

Fire!

It's half burned!
The virus has leaked!
You bunch of beasts!

Don't you feel any pain when you receive your salary?
Do you think you're getting paid?

Leng Yun grew angrier the more he thought about it, and gradually, he felt his blood pressure rise.

Feeling his heart pounding, he quickly put down his teacup and tried to catch his breath.

It took him quite a while to catch his breath.

Although he had caught his breath, he still couldn't help but curse in his heart.

Amidst the constant cursing, Leng Yun finished reading the report, made some modifications to a few items, and then called over the orderly to print it out.

With the report in hand, he returned to the command center, asked the staff there for another report, and then left.

Go find the leader.

The country most concerned about the Fort Detrick virus leak is not El Salvador, which has the largest immigrant population in Maryland, nor India, which has the second largest. Instead, it is England.

El Salvador is not in a hurry because the country is small, with a GDP of US$214 billion in 2010 and remittances of US$34 billion from its overseas workers.

The trade deficit is $45 billion, the official unemployment rate is about 7%, the youth unemployment rate is over 20%, the official poverty rate is 38%, and the malnutrition rate among children in rural areas exceeds 15%.

The murder rate is 64 per 10 people, with an average of 20 homicides per day, and gang activity is frequent.

Are you worried because of the virus?
nonexistent!

The virus might kill you, but in this country, being targeted by gangs will definitely kill you, and even if the gangs don't target you, you might still starve to death.

As for India, their dream home is England.

The elite in America generally follow a similar path to success: born in India, educated in Europe, working in America, and finally living in England.

Therefore, when news of the Fort Detrick virus leak reached intelligence organizations in various countries, England was the most anxious.

They immediately and effectively shut down all flights to and from America, especially those departing from America's east coast.

Next came the related shipping.

Seeing this European troublemaker make these moves, other European countries followed suit. On the surface, they continued to shout slogans, but in reality, they all issued actual orders, requiring all airports to prohibit planes taking off from America's east coast from landing, and those that had already taken off were told to get out of there immediately.

As a result, a large number of planes changed course over the Atlantic Ocean.

They either head to North Africa or return home.

The news that these Europeans were outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant was quickly relayed back to America and then to Barack.

Looking at this intelligence, the black president's eyes flickered. He picked up the phone and called General Hilde, commander of the European Command:

"Tell the European countries that we will be holding a joint NATO military exercise in two weeks."

"Make them ready, because a group of American soldiers will fly to Europe to train with them."

"They can object, but their objections are futile!"

After saying what he wanted to say, Barack hung up the phone abruptly without waiting for Hilde's response, and then dialed another number.

When the call connected, he greeted the person on the other end with a cheerful smile:

"Mr. Wright, the European side has effectively closed the shipping routes. If you want to make money, you may have to put in some more effort!"
