"What, that packet is really expired?! Cough cough cough, cough cough cough!" He put down the teacup and coughed twice, as if he was choked.
"Lao Ning, we can talk about the past after we finish our conversation! Let's get down to business!" A sturdy man sitting opposite him reminded him.
"Ahem, no rush, ahem, some people haven't arrived yet!" Ning Weihe was choked by the tea and coughed several times while speaking.
Not long after, the door to the conference room was pushed open again, and several people in formal attire filed in. They found their seats according to a certain established order. They were carrying some boxes in their hands, and after everyone was seated, they couldn't wait to put them on the table.
Seeing that everyone was present, the chief chairperson began conducting the meeting according to the usual procedure. He first had his assistant distribute a dozen documents. Then, clearing his throat, he spoke in Mandarin, heavily accented with erhua (Chinese erhua), "Since everyone who can come is here, let's get started! Xiao Liu, please read the manuscript first."
"This internal meeting of the Countermeasures Bureau has three main topics: the new situation along the eastern coast, the development of broad-spectrum new drugs, and cooperation on space programs. The specific information is on the file..."
As Xiao Liu read aloud the script, the light in the conference room gradually brightened, and flipping through the documents became easier. The documents were just a few words on black paper, not many in total, but the content was extremely explosive.
Jiang Ling finished reading it in a short while, and she found that these three things seemed to be related to herself.
The so-called "coastal situation" refers to the recent unusual activity observed in the ocean east of the Magic City. These underwater mutants have grown enormously, ignoring underwater predators and actively attacking any alien species that intrude upon their territory. They also pose a constant threat to the newly constructed desalination plant.
The traditional human arsenal is no longer sufficient to deal with these behemoths. The Countermeasures Bureau must change its thinking, such as finding a powerful external aid.
The so-called "broad-spectrum new drug" is still referring to the infamous JYWD-02 on the site. That thing must be iterated, otherwise, with its extremely high mortality rate, it will sooner or later cause problems. It only works on humans. The global biological mutation rate is still accelerating, and humans are already lagging far behind. If this continues, humans will be biologically eliminated.
Developing new drugs seems difficult, but there are ready-made examples in front of us, and we can completely conduct reverse research.
As for the "space program", Jiang Ling has already participated in it, but judging from the content of the documents, their purpose may not just be to restore the technological level before the war.
They want to leave this planet and get out of their comfort zone.
