Chapter 1361 Still Going to Murmansk
Anna's words reminded Xiao Peng.
Whether they brought the virus to Svalbard or to Russia, as long as the virus spreads and causes an impact, it will give people a handle and have a bad impact!
Don’t forget, there is a country in the world that likes to make random accusations!
What's the most terrifying infectious disease in human history? The Black Death? No, no, it was the Spanish flu that broke out in 1918. At the time, the world had a population of only 1.7 billion, yet nearly 100 million people died from the disease.
Why is the epidemic called the "Spanish Flu" when "Patient Zero" was clearly in Kansas, USA? The reason is simple: to shift the blame. That's what they do best. It's just like how the Americans immediately linked the virus's name to China during the early stages of the global pandemic.
It's just that today's technological means are not what they were in 1918. As the virus tracing work progressed and more and more evidence pointed to the Americans again, they closed Fort Detrick and banned the UN investigation. Even with so much hard evidence in front of them, they just acted like "I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen."
If this virus is really brought into Svalbard or Russia, as soon as the virus spreads, the Americans will definitely come forward to "name" it at the first time!
I have to say, this move was really ruthless! Now Xiao Peng feels like he can't go anywhere!
He thought for a moment and then said, "Never mind! Let's go to Svalbard! I can't just watch you die! Take the scolding! Life is more important than reputation!"
Anna's eyes softened after hearing this, and she said to Xiao Peng, "If you really decide to do this, I suggest you go to Murmansk."
"Why?" Xiao Peng's eyes widened. "Didn't you say this was a new, unknown virus? Wouldn't it be easy for it to spread on a large scale?"
Anna said, "Without prevention, it's easy for it to spread on a large scale. But with prevention, there won't be any problems. After the global pandemic, almost every country in the world has developed a set of effective methods to deal with this kind of infection. They will effectively prevent its spread. You don't think that only the Americans have such a terrible weapon, do you? After the Americans have done this, other countries may not need it, but they cannot do without it. They must research it. Call Ivan now and have him prepare everything. As long as he's prepared to be a guinea pig, I think the problem can be solved. And Ivan will be happy to know about this."
"Happy?" Xiao Peng was confused.
Anna explained, "I'm certain this virus is different from anything I've encountered before. If it's really a new virus that requires a catalyst to be effective, as you say, then the sooner we understand its parameters, the easier it will be to respond to emergencies. Understanding the source of this virus will be beneficial to a country."
Xiao Peng straightened Anna's quilt and stood up and said, "Anna, you should have a good rest here. I'll contact Ivan and come back to accompany you later."
Anna nodded and closed her eyes to rest, while Xiao Peng walked out of the room with a sullen face and went to the cockpit, where Chen Cheng was directing the anchor. Seeing Xiao Peng, he greeted him: "Boss, we'll be leaving soon!"
Xiao Peng said directly, "Notify Ma Xiao to change direction and head to the anchorage outside Murmansk Port."
"Ah?" Chen Cheng was stunned.
Xiao Peng ignored him and continued, "Also, notify everyone to turn off the air conditioning and heating systems on both ships!"
Chen Cheng was shocked when he heard this: "Boss, this can't happen! The temperature is already minus 14 degrees Celsius! The crew can't handle turning off the heating!"
Xiao Peng said, "At the same time, shut down all cabin ventilation systems on both ships, except for the engine room! We should be able to reach Moransk in two days at full speed! Let's hold on for two days!"
"The ventilation is also turned off?" Chen Cheng's eyes widened. "Boss, this can't be just a flu. People will freeze to death like this!"
Xiao Peng shouted impatiently: "Do as I say!"
The entire cockpit was silent, and everyone was looking at Xiao Peng. They had never seen Xiao Peng so angry.
Chen Cheng hurriedly said, "Boss, I'll notify Ma Xiao right away."
Xiao Peng took a deep breath and said, "Wait a moment."
Everyone in the cockpit was looking at Xiao Peng.
"What I am going to say next, you all have to keep your mouths shut! If you can't keep it a secret, close the door and get out now. If you hear it and leak the news, I don't care who you are! Get out! Do you understand?" Xiao Peng said.
The people in the cockpit looked at each other and finally nodded.
Xiao Peng lit a cigarette and said, "Chen Cheng, the disease on the ship isn't influenza, but most likely a new type of anthrax virus."
"What?" Everyone in the cockpit exclaimed after hearing this.
Xiao Peng said, "Don't make a fuss! Also, secretly inform Ma Xiao and have him send two reliable people to keep an eye on Doctor Sun."
Chen Cheng immediately understood what Xiao Peng meant: "Boss, are you saying there's something wrong with Doctor Sun?"
"There's no definitive evidence yet." Xiao Peng shook his head. "But one thing is quite suspicious. You all have been carefully selected to work here, right? You're all so-called 'experts,' so the ship's doctor should be no exception. But how can he not even distinguish between anthrax and influenza? This inevitably makes people wonder."
He said it tactfully, but in reality, he was already pretty sure there was something fishy about Dr. Sun: the more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became about him not getting on the plane that day. He was being so tactful because Dr. Sun had boarded the ship at about the same time as them. Who knows if they had a close relationship or something that tipped them off...
Chen Cheng nodded and said, "Xiao Du, go and centralize all the heating equipment in the duty room to the patient rooms. We can hold out for two days! Boss, don't worry. I'll notify Ma Xiao right away."
"This matter must be kept secret!" Xiao Peng said, "Don't put too much pressure on everyone. Shut down the network signals of the two ships, and tell Ma Xiao to use the excuse of 'malfunction' to shut it down. Forget it, tell Ma Xiao about this, and remember to remind him to keep it secret! Otherwise, this idiot won't go to Doctor Sun again without knowing the reason and alert the enemy!"
Chen Cheng nodded: "I understand."
Xiao Peng patted Chen Cheng on the shoulder and said, "I've already contacted the people in Murmansk and have prepared for the response, but we are now racing against time. The sooner we get to Murmansk, the higher the patient's survival rate! Everyone's safety is in your hands!"
Chen Cheng nodded: "I understand. I will inform Ma Xiao and tell him what to do!"
Xiao Peng said, "Remember to tell him to keep a close eye on Doctor Sun!"
"Don't worry!" Chen Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "I also want to ask him, how did the brothers offend him to do such a cruel thing?"
