Break out of the courtyard

"Advisor Zhang, we've discussed internally and decided to only test for 5,000 seconds on February 1st. We'll then determine whether to conduct a 10,000-second test based on the extent of damage to the controlled nuclear fusion device components."

"After the 10,000-second test passes, run the test for 15,000 seconds, and so on until the 100,000-second test passes."

"Do you think this is feasible?"

Zhang Heping went to the control center of the controlled nuclear fusion device. After listening to the plan of the person in charge, he nodded and agreed to their test plan.

“When the test reaches 5,000 seconds, we could consider inviting members of the US-China negotiation team from the EU-Japan-US-Magma to come and witness it. What do you think, Elder Hua?” Zhang Heping said, looking at Elder Hua beside him.

Looking at the futuristic-looking control console and monitoring screens in front of him, Hua Lao smiled and nodded, saying, "This is good, so that foreign media won't keep saying that our controlled nuclear fusion device is fake."

"There's no need to invite foreign media. Let's use our own media and interview the Eagle Fa members about their impressions after watching the film." Zhang Heping said with a calm smile, "We must firmly grasp the initiative in public opinion!"

While the old man and the young man were chatting and laughing, they decided on the subsequent testing tasks of the Dapeng Peninsula controlled nuclear fusion device.

However, just as they left the signal-blocked area of ​​the control center, Old Hua received a phone call that ruined his good mood.

"Monitor his movements first, I'll get back to you later!" Old Hua hung up the phone, frowned, looked at Zhang Heping sitting in the right seat, hesitated for a few seconds, and then asked:
"Heping, I remember you said before that regeneration bacteria can survive for three hours in dehydration?"

"Hmm!" Zhang Heping replied casually, having already sensed the content of Elder Hua's phone call.

It is said that surveillance footage captured the director of a capital hospital accidentally injecting regenerative repair fluid from a syringe onto his white coat, and he concealed the incident from those around him.

Before Mr. Hua could even organize his thoughts, his phone rang again.

"Professor Hua, Dean Jia has left the biological gene laboratory building because he had something to attend to temporarily. He didn't take the white coat that was stained with the regeneration and repair fluid with him, so we didn't stop him. What do you think we should do about this?" The voice on the other end of the phone was urgent, and Zhang Heping could hear it clearly without having to consciously perceive it.

Old Hua frowned and thought for a moment, then asked, "Is that white coat damaged?"

"No!" the other end of the line replied decisively, "and no further signs of water damage."

Old Hua was a little confused. This person must have made a scene to take away the regenerative bacteria. "Is it possible that the bacteria seeped into the clothes underneath the white coat?"

The person on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment, then said uncertainly, "Professor Hua, the regeneration and repair fluid is seeping into the outside of the waist pocket of the white coat. We suspect that Dean Jia has hidden tissues or handkerchiefs in the pocket, because the inside of the pocket fabric is not wet!"

"But the guard at the door just searched him, and he didn't have any suspicious items on him!"

Old Hua frowned, at a loss for what to do, and looked at Zhang Heping, who was pretending to be asleep with his eyes closed.

"sock!"

Hua Lao was hesitating whether to tell Zhang Heping about this when Zhang Heping suddenly uttered this word.

"The moist environment inside the shoe allows the regenerative bacteria to multiply and survive like fungi!"

Upon hearing Zhang Heping's explanation, Elder Hua hurriedly ordered the guards on the other end of the phone to arrest the man.

A few minutes later, Mr. Hua's cell phone rang again.

"No socks?" Old Hua's relaxed expression suddenly turned serious again. "What shoes is he wearing today?"

"Wearing leather shoes without socks, do you think that's possible?" Old Hua said with a deep frown. "Check the surveillance footage along the way and see if he's had any contact with anyone else!"

"There's no surveillance in the locker room. Have them implement Emergency Plan No. 3. Everyone entering and leaving the lab today must undergo procedures like showering, changing clothes, and disinfection!" Zhang Heping frowned. "Use the police dogs to assist in the search. I'm afraid there aren't just one or two people behind this!"

As Zhang Heping was speaking, Hua Lao held out his phone and pointed it at Zhang Heping's mouth.

After he finished speaking, Mr. Hua confirmed with the person on the other end of the phone and told them to quickly carry out what Zhang Heping had just said.

Zhang Heping remained silent, while Hua Lao seemed preoccupied. When the convoy returned to Heping College in Shenzhen, the guards had already cordoned off the area around the biological gene laboratory building, where more than a dozen black-backed wolfhounds were searching for something.

As soon as Elder Hua got out of the car, Brigade Commander Chu, with his square face, came to greet him with his men.

Before Elder Hua could ask, Brigade Commander Chu told Elder Hua and Zhang Heping about the investigation.

"Director Jia insisted that the misfire of the regeneration repair fluid was an accident. He didn't wear socks because he hadn't had time to wash the socks he brought with him. He washed them all last night, and they weren't dry this morning!"

"When he came out of the lab and went outside, the surveillance cameras didn't capture him interacting with anyone; the police dogs didn't find any suspicious items!"

"Currently, the laboratory staff's clothes, personal belongings, and items in the locker room are being disinfected and sterilized. No suspicious items have been found so far!"

Political Commissar Li Qing interjected, "Elder Hua, Advisor Zhang, is it possible that Dean Jia is just trying to alert the enemy and probe our security measures here?"

"Let's check the surveillance first!" Zhang Heping said with a serious face, and took the lead to walk towards the biological genetic laboratory building.

In the surveillance video room on the underground first floor of the laboratory building, Zhang Heping first checked the videos of Dean Jia entering and leaving the laboratory in recent days, and then looked at the videos of other external personnel entering and leaving.

过了一会，张和平调出那个贾院长今天进入更衣室盲区的视频，对其他人说道：“他今天于11点12分35秒进入更衣室，11点16分56秒才出来，用时4分21秒。”

"Yesterday at noon and in the afternoon, he chatted and laughed with others in and out of the locker room, taking 1 minute 32 seconds and 2 minutes 9 seconds respectively."

"He's the only one here today, and he's just taking off a white coat. How could it take so long?"

"He said he was on the phone inside!" A security captain interrupted. "We checked his call records. Before he left the lab, he received a call from Li Xingguo, the vice president of Shenzhen City Hospital."

"After he entered the locker room, he received another call from Li Xingguo."

Brigadier General Chu added, "We've already asked someone to bring Li Xingguo back for questioning!"

"According to Emergency Plan No. 3, we've already checked their clothes, shoes, socks, and dentures!" Political Commissar Li Qing said with some embarrassment, "But we can't check their private parts!"

Zhang Heping and Hua Lao also felt it was troublesome, after all, they were all senior experts and professors, and they would have to deal with them again in the future.

Old Hua thought for a moment and said, "Heping, you go back and have dinner first. I'll talk to them about this. I believe they can understand the necessity of this investigation!"

"Well!" Zhang Heping left the surveillance computer, frowned and left a message, asking the guard to check the previous movements of Dean Jia to see if there was anyone else who had contacted him.

Many people from other hospitals also came to Heping Hospital, and Zhang Heping suspected that Dean Jia had people there. He wasn't worried about them taking the regeneration and repair fluid with them.

Because when the three-person medical team was first set up, it was intended that they supervise each other.

As long as there is no mistake in the process of the regeneration and repair fluid entering the treatment chamber, there is no need to worry about the regeneration bacteria being stolen even if the doctor opens the chamber later and steals the treatment fluid mixed with the regeneration and repair fluid.

Simply because the regenerative bacteria come into contact with the treatment fluid, they will be catalyzed to accelerate division and regeneration, and then produce catalytic enzymes that turn on the human body's regenerative gene switch.

To put it simply, the regenerative bacteria soaked in the treatment solution will not live long!
Therefore, Dean Jia must have sent out a batch of sterile therapeutic fluid, which did not meet the buyer's requirements, so he came to the laboratory to steal the regenerative bacteria concentrate.

This matter was investigated very late. Today, all people entering and leaving the biological genetic laboratory, including the guards, were searched inside and out, and the laboratory was cleaned and disinfected, but nothing was found.

The next day, Professor Hua forbade anyone from outside the institute from entering the biological gene laboratory building.

Zhang Heping did not waste his energy on this because he knew that even if the foreigners got the regenerative bacteria, they would not be able to reproduce the regenerative bacteria quickly and could not conduct large-scale drug trials like the Shenzhen Heping Hospital.

Even if they got the formula for the treatment fluid, it would be of no avail. It would only accelerate the rapid division of the regenerative bacteria until they died.

Unless, they also have Zhang Heping's blood to serve as a catalyst!
Although the public investigation has ended, it does not mean that this matter will not be investigated anymore!

On the third day after the incident, the Mexicans repatriated Professor Lu and his family, who were dying, back to the capital.

After completing the transfer procedures, this group of Americans came to Shenzhen under the pretext of improving relations with the Heping Group. They ostensibly wanted to meet Zhang Heping, but first went to visit the Shenzhen Hospital.

"There's definitely something fishy about Li Xingguo, the vice president of Shenzhen City Hospital. We've seen him whispering with the Magnesian people on surveillance video more than once!"

Director Zhao of the Shenzhen Smart City Management Center watched Zhang Heping examine his father while talking about how their management center was cooperating with the investigation.

Zhang Heping, who was sitting next to the treatment cabin, did not respond and was concentrating on examining the abnormal growth in Captain Zhao's body.

"Unfortunately, we don't have substantial evidence to arrest anyone right now." Zhao Jianguo said this while glancing at the young male doctor with his back to him. "I heard that Shenzhen City Hospital is planning to start an exchange program with the hospital in Huadu, Magnesium Country. They'll be sending people to each other's hospitals for exchange and learning."

"I can guarantee that Li Xingguo will definitely go to Magnesium. Maybe he'll stay there and never come back!"

Zhao Jianguo talked for a while, but Zhang Heping didn't say anything, and the young male doctor opposite didn't say anything either, which wasted Zhao Jianguo's time.

"Uncle Zhao is recovering well. He will use the longevity 120 medicine the day after tomorrow to control the tumor in his body." Zhang Heping stood up and did not continue the topic that Zhao Laoliu had just talked about. Instead, he quickly went to the treatment cabin next door to check on the recovery of Aunt Chen's husband Zhou Jinyi.

My eldest cousin Ma Lili and her brother-in-law Zhou Chengwen had already returned to the capital with my eldest sister Zhang Zhaodi and others, leaving only Aunt Zhou Chen Liqin here to keep them company.

However, Chen Liqin felt a lot more at ease knowing that neither her mother Ma Xiuzhen nor Lao Zhang had returned.

Facing Chen Liqin's slightly worried gaze at the door, Zhang Heping finished his physical examination and learned about the patient Zhou Jinyi's cough today. Then he went out and said to Chen Liqin:

"Uncle Zhou is recovering well. He will be able to wake up in two days and then be transferred to the cosmetic department for treatment. You can talk and relieve your boredom."

"Thank you, Heping!" Chen Liqin held Zhang Heping. Just like the previous few days, she didn't know how to thank him. She always felt that verbal thanks were too cheap.

"Okay, Aunt Chen! We have been neighbors for so many years, it's only natural for us to help each other. Besides, you are my eldest cousin's mother-in-law, so it would be impolite to say thank you again." Zhang Heping looked at his mother Ma Xiuzhen beside him.

Ma Xiuzhen understood and hurried over to take Chen Liqin away so as not to delay her son's ward rounds.

In fact, Zhang Heping has seldom come to the hospital for ward rounds recently. If it weren't for the fact that Captain Zhao and Zhou Jinyi were admitted, he wouldn't have come.

After all, he had trained so many three-person medical teams before, and it was time for him to be a hands-off boss.

Because the room was full of naked male patients, it was inconvenient for the female family members to enter, so after Zhao Laoliu came out, he first told his mother about the situation in the ward.

Only after Zhang Heping came out did he and Zhang Heping leave the hospital arm in arm.

"I noticed you didn't seem too concerned about the theft of the regeneration bacteria." Zhao Jianguo clung to Zhang Heping's shoulders. "I was just testing that doctor from the Fourth Hospital, and you didn't even try to cooperate with me."

"There are so many doctors at the Fourth Hospital here, how can you doubt them all?" Zhang Heping said unhappily, "Besides, I have a lot of things to do, so I don't have time to care about such trivial matters."

"To put it bluntly, if the Magnesium people really stole the regeneration bacteria, given their nature, they would definitely send it to S.H.I.E.L.D. for biochemical research."

"If they really do that, they're on the wrong track!"

Zhao Jianguo asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Zhang Heping didn't answer but asked, "S.H.I.E.L.D. is researching super genetic warriors. You cited my accomplishments in biology and genetics, so why aren't you doing that kind of research?"

"Can't figure it out?" Zhao Jianguo replied with a possibility without even thinking about it.

Zhang Heping raised his right hand and grabbed the back of Zhao Jianguo's neck. In front of the astonished gazes of Ma Xiuzhen, Chen Liqin and others, he lifted the much stronger Zhao Laoliu up with one hand, lifting his feet off the ground.

"Do you think, based on my genes, we can create a super gene warrior?" Zhang Heping jokingly put down the dazed Lao Liu.

Zhao Jianguo followed with a frown. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out why Zhang Heping didn't do research in this area.

When they were near the villa area, Zhao Laoliu leaned in again and asked quietly, "Are you afraid that if you do it, they'll restrict your freedom?"

"No!" Zhang Heping decisively rejected Lao Liu's idea. "It's because genetic modification is very complicated and there are many uncontrollable factors."

"If not for this, I wouldn't have put the longevity potion experiment into space."

"Let me tell you this!" Zhang Heping put his arm around Zhao Laoliu's shoulders and said sternly, "Of the more than 5 space experiments conducted in the past, the products of 36 of them posed an extinction-level hazard!"

Zhao Jianguo couldn't help but frown. "You talk so horrible, what if the guys from Magnesium also develop something like that?"

"It's OK!" Zhang Heping shrugged. "If you're worried, ask your wife to bring some masks home from the hospital."
