I Really Didn’t Want To Make A Lot Of Money

The southeastern part of Gabon belongs to the province of Haut-Ogooué, whose capital is Franceville.

Although this city is a far inland city from the capital Libreville, the level of urban construction is second only to the capital. Gabon's only railway connects these two cities.

François has a special status for two reasons.

This province is the home of the Gabonese president’s family. During the presidential election, 100% of the votes in this province can be voted for the current president.

Another reason is that this province is very rich in manganese ore. Gabon is the second largest manganese ore producer in the world, and all of Gabon’s manganese ore comes from Haute Ogooué Province.

The main application area of ​​manganese is the iron and steel industry, which accounts for more than 90% of manganese consumption. At present, the manganese mines in Gabon are mainly controlled by the French.

Chen Ling stood on the commanding heights of Franceville and was amazed. Unexpectedly, there is such a small clean city in such a remote place.

The Frenchman Samuel introduced was Thomas, who was in his forties and had white curly hair. He has lived and worked in Gabon for many years and is very familiar with the country.

He pointed to a building in the distance and said: "Mr. Chen, this city is not only clean, but also high-tech. That is the most advanced place in the city."

Chen Ling looked around and saw a group of buildings of varying heights on a small hill, looking unremarkable.

Thomas continued: "There is the Franceville International Medical Research Center. There is a P4 laboratory. Mr. Chen, do you know what the P4 laboratory means?"

Chen Ling was really taken aback: "P4 Lab? How is this possible!"

The P4 laboratory is the laboratory with the highest level of protection. There is no such laboratory in China, so why does Gabon have such a laboratory?

Toma was quite proud of Chen Ling’s surprised expression, and said: “Yes, the President of Gabon has decided to fund the government and France provides technology, equipment, and management personnel. The first P4 laboratory in Africa is built here. Researchers from all over the world enter the laboratory to do research..."

Chen Ling praised: "I really didn't expect the President of Gabon to be so bold and support scientific research!"

"The social and economic benefits of this research center are very good." Toma said, pointing in another direction, "There is COMILOG, the largest manganese mining company with an annual output of 3 million tons."

Chen Ling nodded: "I know this company is the largest user of the Gabonese Railway. It is said that it also participates in the operation of the Gabonese Railway."

Thomas smiled and said, "Mr. Chen knows well, do you know what that building is?"

He pointed to a white building in the northwest. The white building was surrounded by open space, and dozens of meters further away was a tall fence. There seemed to be power grids and barbs on the fence.

Chen Ling smiled and said, "That's a prison, right?"

Thomas had expected that he would say this, and shook his head: "No. The prison will not be so deserted. It is more terrifying than the prison. It is the laboratory of the uranium mining company."

Obviously Thomas thinks that uranium mines are terrible, so the laboratory is protected like this.

Chen Ling heard of the uranium mine and thought of what Molly had said. There is a uranium mine in Gabon. When the Indians wanted to smuggle nuclear fuel, the starting point should be Franceville. But now it seems that the drums have died down and the Indians have all withdrawn.

"Like manganese mine, uranium mine is also being developed by a company in France." Toma has a sense of national pride.

Chen Ling asked: "It is said that the oil and gas industry in Gabon is also dominated by French companies, is that true?"

"Yes. There are about 5,000 French citizens in Gabon, all of whom are engaged in very important jobs. However, recently there are more and more Chinese people, and Chinese people are very capable. After Mr. Chen's timber business is on the right track It must be the largest family in Gabon.” Toma did not forget his identity and did not go too far in national pride.

At this time, a few tourists who looked like Indians and Pakistan also came here, overlooking Franceville.

Chen Ling asked Thomas softly: "Are there many Indians here?"

Toma glanced at the Indians and Pakistani, and said, "There were quite a few in the past, but it seems that a few have left recently."

"What do Indians do?"

"It's mainly mining and trading, and some are researchers from the Medical Research Center." Thomas said, lowering his voice, "Those should be Indians, and they look like mining."

Several Indians were also looking at Chen Ling and the group, their eyes met and each nodded.

At this moment, another group of people came up. Two of them were Chen Ling's acquaintances, Charles and Margaret.

They are surrounded by a black man, an Indian and Pakistani.

After the couple climbed high, they panted slightly, and after a while, they saw Francois towering in the crowd.

"This world is too small!" The couple were very happy to see Chen Ling and François again. Chen Ling was in a good mood when he came across these two old men with both ability and political integrity in a foreign country.

Several people chatted for a while, only to realize that the couple were invited by an Indian scholar to attend an academic conference in Franceville.

This conference is held here, the main reason is the P4 laboratory here. The couple are willing to come because of this laboratory.

Because Indian scholars promised to support their husband and wife to use this P4 laboratory for research in the future, and the expenses will be borne by the Indian government.

Chen Ling's inner alarm bell mastered. Nothing is courteous, and if one is rape or steal.

He asked, "Do the Indians have any requirements?"

Dr. Shire shook his head: "Yes, but I refused. The Indian government is preparing to build a P4 laboratory, and they asked us to manage that laboratory. The two of us are not happy to take care of this kind of thing, but we promised the Indians, I will go to their laboratory to do research work in the future."

Chen Ling sneered secretly, this Indian wanted to be so beautiful and wanted to pick peaches.

Pick the peaches from the Gabonese P4 laboratory, and pick the peaches from the research results of top French experts.

"I don't recommend you to go." Chen Ling said directly, "I hope you stay in France and continue your research work. If you need to come to Africa, I'm happy to support your work."

Chen Ling did not lower his voice, the Indian heard clearly, frowning and staring at Chen Ling.

"Look at what?" Chen Ling stared back unceremoniously.

François stepped forward gently, looking down at the Indian with his back on his back.

Seeing this situation, Dr. Charles quickly walked between the two and said, "Retreat!"

The old man usually speaks and is kind, but at the moment he is quite majestic, and both sides take a step back.

Dr. Shire said to Chen Ling: "Our vaccine research and development is going well and will soon be approved for marketing. Next, my research direction is the virus in India, not the filovirus in Africa."

"What is the virus in India?" Chen Ling asked, looking at the Indian and the Indian and Pakistani who came up first.

Dr. Margaret answered this question: "The virus in India does not know what it is, so we are going to study it. Foreigners go to India, no matter how they pay attention to hygiene, as long as they stay there for more than a week, they will definitely have diarrhea, and There is no specific medicine."

Dr. Shire took the conversation: "We guess that this is caused by a special virus. Indians have achieved herd immunity. Our research goal is to find out this virus and the process of achieving herd immunity. Find the corresponding vaccine."

Chen Ling understood a little bit. It was like playing a game. The couple had already cleared the map of Africa. Now they change the map and go to India to play.

This kind of thing is hard to persuade.

Chen Ling said, "Doctor, this Indian virus..."

"It's not the Indian virus!" The Indian interrupted Chen Ling roughly.

Chen Ling blinked and said, "It's not an Indian virus. What kind of virus is that? Is it the Ganges virus?"

The Indian angered: "Stigmatizing India is not allowed!"

Chen Ling didn't expect the Indians to be angry about this, and smiled: "This virus is only available in India. Indians have been immunized. The Indian virus is very easy to understand. Just like the Ebola virus..."

Dr. Shire stopped Chen Ling and said, "Alright, alright, you don’t have to argue about this matter. This virus is just a speculation and has not been confirmed. It is not a wise person to argue about something that does not necessarily exist. Will do."

Chen Ling just hated the way the Indians frowned and stared at him.

But at this moment, Chen Ling's security system actually issued an early warning.

Early warning of fatal danger!
