Paranormal incident investigation notes

At this moment, Zhang Dingshan, who had figured out Lu Ming's thoughts, began to breathe quickly.

This matter was so important and important that even he, who was always known for his calmness and composure, couldn't help but be moved by it.

This is a major event that is enough to overturn the entire situation and change the entire incident from the source!

Originally, we thought that we had reached a dead end and there was no way forward. At the cost of abandoning a city, relying on a hydrogen bomb to completely destroy the fungus was the only hope. But now it seems that there are other possibilities?

The twists and turns are not enough to describe the magnitude of this change.

If Lu Ming's speculation is true, doesn't it mean that there was no need for outside intervention in this incident from the beginning?

Just let the building god command the fungi to break the formation - once the Binhai Building collapses, the dragon-suppressing pile formation pattern will be destroyed, and the greenhouse environment created by coincidence for the fungi to survive will also completely disappear. If anyone interferes, all the fungi will die!

Could it be that our side has always done nothing? Not only did it not help resolve the situation, but it was a waste of resources and worsened the situation?

If our own side had not intervened, the superiors would not have decided to use a hydrogen bomb to solve this incident!

However, even if the situation has reached this point, as long as Lu Ming's speculation can be clarified and confirmed to be true, at least in this incident, he will not have to pay more. The price is, at least the hydrogen bomb attack will not come again, the people of Yangyuan City will not have to relocate, and the city will not have to be abandoned!

This is the most important.

The only one who has to pay the price may be the second action team.

After all, once it is confirmed that the speculation is true and that our side is just doing useless work, no matter what the original reason is, from an objective perspective, the second operation team has worsened the situation and caused what can be called a relatively serious impact.

Lu Ming was slightly worried about this.

Zhang Dingshan seemed to understand Lu Ming's thoughts and only shook his head slightly.

"Lu Ming, don't worry about the responsibilities of our second action team. It's still the same saying, as long as you don't do something, you will never make a mistake. As long as you do something, there will be a probability of making a mistake. Mistakes and failures are originally allowed. Besides, , from another perspective, even if this incident is really as you speculated, could we not have intervened from the very beginning?"

He gently shook his head again: "Our operations office relies on the system, not luck. In this case, let's assume that we didn't intervene at all, and the final outcome proved that not getting involved was the best choice, but... the matter The direction is not something we can control. This time we were lucky and got the right option. What about next time? Do we still have to get it? Do we still have to rely on luck?"

Zhang Dingshan walked up to Lu Ming and patted his shoulder gently: "Don't worry, if your speculation is true, not only will we have no fault, but we will have merit."

Lu Ming nodded, and most of the worries in his heart disappeared.

Just like traffic police officers investigating drunk drivers. Maybe out of the one hundred drunk driving cases they investigated, ninety-nine of the drunk drivers would not have had any accidents in the end. So, can the investigation and punishment of these ninety-nine drunk drivers be considered a waste of time and social resources?

Obviously not.

Looking at this case, even if it turns out that this case should not have been involved at all, could Action Team 2 have chosen not to intervene at the very beginning of this case, or when encountering the next similar case?

Obviously not.

Doing things depends on the system, not luck.

If we have to make an analogy, if Lu Ming's conjecture is true, that is, the second operation team does not need to intervene from the beginning, then the situation can probably be compared to a traffic police officer investigating and punishing a drunk driver who was not involved in an accident. The drunk driver got angry and hit and killed another innocent person with his car.

Judging from the objective facts and timeline, it is obvious that the traffic police officers' actions in investigating drunk driving turned an originally innocent situation into a situation in which an innocent person was killed.

But the ultimate responsibility obviously cannot fall on the traffic police. Just like at this moment, although it may have caused some serious consequences, the responsibility cannot fall on the second operation team.

Lu Ming nodded: "I understand."

A smile appeared on Zhang Dingshan's lips: "What's more, even if your speculation is true, even if the final responsibility for this incident falls on us, will you choose not to disclose your speculation and choose to let Yangyuan City be destroyed? "

Lu Ming was startled and raised his head suddenly.

How can this be!

If he had a choice, he would rather go to a military court than let a city be destroyed!

Zhang Dingshan knocked on the table lightly: "Since we take responsibility or not, you have to do it, so what else do you have to worry about?"

The last worry in Lu Ming's heart completely disappeared.

"Okay. Let's discuss your conjecture. Your conjecture seems reasonable, but there is something I can't understand. That is, the fear bacteria can quickly restore the population after a large dose of disinfectant, and can According to your speculation, the vitality of a species that has rapidly evolved to adapt to a high-radiation environment is so weak? It can't even adapt to a normal environment?"

This does seem contradictory. But after Lu Ming thought for a moment, he found a reasonable explanation.

"Have you ever heard of Acinetobacter baumannii?"

Zhang Dingshan shook his head.

Lu Ming said slowly: "Multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii has been found in many intensive care units, infected many patients, and claimed the lives of many patients.

However, the intensive care unit is one of the places with the highest environmental requirements. I don’t need to say more about how strict the disinfection measures are there, right? "

Zhang Dingshan nodded slightly.

"But even so, even if the environment is so harsh for this kind of bacteria, they can still survive, and can infect and kill human patients. From this point of view, the vitality of this bacteria is strong enough Bar?"

Zhang Dingshan nodded again.

"But why haven't these bacteria spread into nature? Their vitality is so tenacious. Logically speaking, they should be everywhere in the world."

Zhang Dingshan was thoughtful.

"Because the fact is that multi-drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii can survive in the harsh environment of the intensive care unit, but it cannot adapt to the natural environment outside. Once they go out to the outside world, they will die. It's that simple. The reason is that the root cause of bacterial resistance is that through evolution, they can synthesize a certain enzyme. Synthetic enzymes require energy. But this enzyme is only useful in special environments, such as intensive care units, and in natural environments Among them, it is completely useless. Therefore, this kind of super bacteria that requires extra energy to synthesize this enzyme cannot compete with ordinary bacteria in nature. If it takes a little longer, they will be eliminated."

Lu Ming spread his hands and said: "So, Captain, species like Dinospora, which can quickly recover its population after a large dose of disinfectant, and can quickly evolve to adapt to a high-radiation environment, may seem to be extremely viable, but in fact, it is not necessarily true. Background A slight change in the environment may still kill them.”

"I understand." Zhang Dingshan said: "Your speculation is indeed possible. However, my opinion is that we must find absolutely solid evidence for this matter. It must be absolutely solid, without any ambiguity. . Otherwise, looking at the overall situation, the hydrogen bomb must be launched and Yangyuan City must be destroyed."

Compared with Lu Ming's own future and destiny, Lu Ming obviously believed without hesitation that the city of Yangyuan City and the more than one million people who lived safely were more important.

But he also believed without hesitation that Yangyuan City was not important at all compared to the threat that the leakage of the fungus could pose to the entire human world.

It’s still the same sentence, it’s just a relocation, no one will die, it’s just a city, if it is destroyed, it will be destroyed. How can the safety of the entire human world be important?

On such a major issue, not to mention the decision-makers at the top, even Lu Ming himself would never be able to make the final decision relying solely on some speculation.

There must be evidence. There must be solid evidence, and it must be thoroughly proven that without destroying Yangyuan City, the threat of germ leakage can be completely eliminated. Only in this way can Yangyuan City be preserved and the lives of more than one million people not affected!

This is the core and most critical part of the problem.

There is no evidence, even if they know that Yangyuan City may have been destroyed in vain, the superior decision-makers will never hesitate at all about launching a hydrogen bomb!

The reason is simple, no one can afford this risk. Even if it is just a few risks, involving the safety of the entire human world, it is enough to be worth destroying a city to eliminate.

But how to find evidence?

Previously, the person in charge of the scaled-down version of Zhenlongzhuang had made it very clear that the changes that had occurred in Disobacteria were not even sure whether they were abnormal or not.

They are working hard to investigate the factors that may cause the abnormal increase in the activity of Disobacteria, but so far, they have found nothing.

Assuming that the abnormal changes in Disobacterium are really due to some kind of "greenhouse" effect caused by the Zhenlong Zhuang, then so many and excellent teams of microbial experts could not find any abnormalities in the environment at the Binhai Building. , can the team of scientists here find it?

The hope is obviously low.

This road won't work.

However, if we cannot find a direct connection between the two through scientific means, how can we find any evidence, let alone evidence that "must be excellent"?

This is almost impossible to do!

But Lu Ming knew that he had to do it!

He gritted his teeth tightly, clenched his fists tightly, and veins popped out on his arms.

There are about six days left.

Six days!

During this period of time, he not only had to find evidence, but also confirm the evidence through experiments, and then test the results on the spot at the Marina Building.

There is really no time to waste!

"Captain, find me a quiet place and don't let anyone disturb me. Prepare water, compressed biscuits, and a toilet for me."

Zhang Dingshan nodded unusually solemnly.

This kind of place can be found here in the scaled-down version of Zhenlongzhuang Test Base.

Outside the building complex, there is a temporarily built access road. This road is not long, only about 300 meters. At the end of the road is a public toilet.

The entire road is relatively flat, with a searchlight on both sides and in the middle. Under every searchlight, there is some mineral water and some compressed biscuits that can quickly replenish energy.

At this moment, three searchlights were turned on.

Although it is at the foot of the mountain, the temperature outside is not too low at the moment. If you wear long sleeves and long pants, the temperature is barely suitable.

Under the strict silence order, all equipment that produces loud noises in the entire Zhenlong Zhuang Test Base was shut down. All personnel are strictly prohibited from leaving and making noise is strictly prohibited. On the road outside, there was only the faint sound of wind, the sound of branches being blown by the wind, and the faint sound of a whistle coming from an extremely distant place.

This is a great place to think.

Lu Ming came to this road alone, and slowly walked from one end of the road to the other end.

If he felt thirsty, he would take a few sips of mineral water as he passed the searchlight. When I felt hungry, I took a few bites of compressed biscuits. If he feels the need to go to the toilet, there is a toilet ready for him.

Under this situation, he once again fell into deep thinking.

At this moment, the conference room on the second floor. In the darkness, Zhang Dingshan stood in front of the window and looked at Lu Ming who was walking on the path outside the window. Although his expression was calm, there was always a hint of worry in his eyes.

Lu Ming has not slept or rested for a long time. At this moment, under such great pressure and thinking so intensely, he didn't know if Lu Ming could withstand it.

But he did not offer any comfort to Lu Ming.

The situation has reached its most critical moment. At this moment, even if Lu Ming was forced to go to bed, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep.

If this situation happened to me, I would not be able to sleep either.

Time passed bit by bit, and the night gradually got deeper. On that path, Lu Ming was still walking around. Occasionally he would stop and stand on the side of the road, looking at the dark plains and mountains in the distance in silence, as if he remembered something.

But often after a while, he would shake his head, sigh, look away and start walking again.

His thinking didn't seem to be going well.

Zhang Dingshan always stood behind the window and accompanied Lu Ming here, seeming to be secretly supporting him in this way. Although he also hasn't gone to bed or rest for a long time.

When the clock hand pointed between 2 and 3, Lu Ming's head finally stopped hanging and was raised. His eyes regained focus again.

Zhang Dingshan saw him leaving the path and walked quickly towards the conference room.

Zhang Dingshan walked to the door and opened it gently. A moment later, Lu Ming's footsteps were heard.

"I have an idea that I can try!"

Zhang Dingshan smiled slightly: "Let's talk about it."

Lu Ming's eyes were bloodshot from being too tired, but he still looked at Zhang Dingshan with unusual solemnity and seriousness: "Captain, do you believe in Feng Shui theory?"

Zhang Dingshan was startled.

"I don't really believe it."

"Feng Shui theories such as the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth, Yin Yang and Bagua are most likely nonsense. They are the conjectures and conjectures of the ancients due to their limited understanding of the universe. However, the specific Feng Shui techniques are not all superstitious. For example Feng shui generally requires that houses face north and south, which is more conducive to lighting. It is also required that there be no certain trees in the courtyard, which reduces the threat of various insects."

Lu Ming considered the words and described his conjecture: "So, just like observing the stars and the moon, from another perspective, is it possible that it is a way to determine the longitude and latitude of the area where the observer is located?"

In the early days of human navigation, they relied on stargazing to determine direction and orientation on the endless sea. However, once the direction and orientation are clear, the weather here can be roughly determined based on the data records in some books.

"Looking at the mountains and looking at the weather, from another perspective, could it be measuring the direction of the river, wind direction, geological stability and the like?"

Zhang Dingshan said: "This is indeed a possibility."

"Feng Shui is closely related to the weather, climate, topography and geology of the region. So, as a product of Feng Shui, will the dragon-suppressing pile formation be the same?"

"Indeed. But... so what?"

Zhang Dingshan asked back.

"If Zhenlongzhuang is closely related to the current climate and weather of the region, the kind of 'greenhouse' environment it creates by coincidence that can increase the vitality of disobacteria and fungi must also be related to the current climate and climate of the region. !”

Zhang Dingshan said solemnly: "The expert team has already considered this aspect. They analyzed a variety of factors, but did not find clear relevant factors."

Lu Ming shook his head: "Of course I can't find the specific factors. But I won't look for it. As long as I make it clear that it is related to the weather and climate. What I want to do is to directly cut off the dragon-suppressing pile formation from the outside weather and climate. The connection! I want to completely isolate the dragon-suppressing pile formation from the background environment!"
