When the lights of the rest area gradually dimmed, the roar of the machinery on the nearby construction site did not stop, including the power station in the distance, and in the huge chimney, the smoke column was like a fog.

The construction site here has not rested for 24 hours from the time of construction a few months ago, and the workers have divided into three batches, and eight hours and one shift have taken turns to ensure the construction period.In order to catch up with the progress, there are also many people who have fallen ill during this period, but the medical facilities in the camp are very complete, and the people who have the situation are no big problem.

In the mountainside, a small camp was also built at the door of the Doomsday Seed Vault, and the road between the mountains was already encased in the camp, and when the camp was fully completed, the seed bank and the foot of the mountain would be connected.

More than a dozen nuclear reactors were installed at the foot of the mountain, and the remaining ones were hoisted, and the equipment responsible for energy conversion and transmission spread from there to the mountainside, far away like vegetation covered in snowy mountains.

Of these reactors, four are from China, all of which are thermal neutron reactors.The working principle is to first irradiate the reactor by the neutron source, and the neutron bombards uranium-235 fission to release the binding energy of the atomic nucleus.This energy is mainly reflected in the kinetic energy of fission debris, by the collision of these fragments and debris, debris and fuel casings to convert energy into internal energy, and then by a circuit working medium (such as water, heavy water, or helium, nitrogen dioxide and liquid metal sodium, etc.) to the second circuit, the two-circuit water vapor evaporation to push the steam turbine power generation.

The energy required for the Glacier Initiative’s 2010 project was all provided by these nuclear reactors, which convert nuclear energy into heat, and then convert heat into electricity through steam generators.This sounds similar to the working principle of the coal-fired power station, in fact, from the equipment point of view, nuclear reactors and steam generators play a role in the fossil fuel and boiler of the power station.

Pure fossil fuels may not be enough to hollow out the coal mines under the city of Longyearbyen, so the coal here can only be used to provide electricity to the construction site and civil facilities.Nuclear energy, with an energy density of more than a few million times that of fossil fuels, has become the first choice for everyone to promote "glacier action", because nuclear energy is small in fuel, transportation and storage are convenient, and it does not emit huge amounts of pollutants into the atmosphere like thermal power generation, and does not produce carbon dioxide that aggravates the greenhouse effect.

“Can we succeed?”George, who was leading the team inside the doomsday seed bank to try out the equipment, Mather suddenly looked up and muttered, and he helped his glasses, his eyes were a little tired.

"What's the matter?"The Doctor.”Rubin, one of his assistants in the camp, asked with some surprise.

“We only have one chance, and we haven’t tested it accordingly before,” George Mather said, “and three years, this time it’s been more than three years, and it’s beyond the limits of our abilities, and it’s still theoretical.”

"I can understand your mood," said Robin, nodding, "but as soon as there is a one in ten thousand chance, we must try, and that's what you told me on the way to Longyearbyen."

“Is it?”George Mather smiled, "I hope God bless us."

“Can we succeed?”From the fleet from Bohai Bay, an old man who had just finished the meeting and returned to his cabin, sat by the bedside of the cabin, looking out the window at the deep sea.

The time to travel is stretched to three years, which is already the limit after the ability of the countries to assemble, and it may continue to grow, because this will happen as long as the progress of the project is slightly delayed.

Dr. Qin Yi is now on his way to Longyearbyen, where he is not responsible for the construction of the camp and the construction of equipment, so he is worried about the progress there.

The plan of this operation is interlocking, pulling the whole body, and Qin Yi's concern is not a worry.He is concerned with this action and with the future of mankind.

Zhang Cang and Zhao Kang could not sit on the boat, and I would like to fly to the poles immediately.The two went to the Changping Institute a while ago, and then set out from the Bohai Bay with Yanjing researchers to the poles.

"Now think back to the first time in Chongming to see academician Qin, I said that the United States in the process of cracking extraterrestrial civilization and conquering the zombie virus research than we have an advantage, he said not necessarily, at that time I thought he was just joking, now we know that our country is really emboldened to say this sentence."Zhang could lean on the shipboard, let the night wind lightly brush his face, his eyes look at the dark sea.

"China South Bowan (NO.1)," Zhao Kang also excitedly shouted out his own voice, he and Zhang can see the biggest miracle in the Changping Research Center, the two people at that time can not be described in words.

It was listed as an S++-level secret by China, and the original traitor Zhang Wenzhuo had no access to it, and this secret was hidden in the Changping Institute, where the predecessor was the Yanjing Genetic Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The miracle that Zhang Dao and Zhao Kang saw there was a person, exactly a person with no different appearance and zombie.When the two were taken to a secret room inside the institute, they were shocked to see the man, thinking that the zombies in the institute had run out.

"Don't worry, I won't bite you."The "dead" grinned, and he held the infusion rack to reach them.

At that moment, Zhang Can had felt his calf trembling, and he wanted to escape, but he could not open his leg.

"It's all right," Qin Yi's voice, like a sedative agent, calmed down his panic.

The flesh of the "undead" face has rotted, more than the appearance of the destruction of sulfuric acid, his eyes can see a little beauty, although the white part has accounted for 90% of the eyeball, but it is this filament, so that others from him feel that he is different from the zombie.

The name of the "undead" is Wen Fuchang, who was originally a researcher at the Yanjing Genetic Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and was picked up by Ge's helicopter team from Changping when the corpses were surrounded there.Later, in the study of Wen Fuchang unfortunately infected with the virus, he decisively used the drugs under development in advance to test on his own.

The bag hanging on the infusion shelf was filled with brown potions that flowed into his body along the infusion tube.Wen Fuchang both used the infusion shelf to hang the potion bag, but also used it as a crutch to help himself walk.

“You... aren’t you really a zombie?”He asked this question at the time.

Have you ever seen a dead body speak?And laughing.”Speaking of this, Wen Fuchang opened his lips, which had rotted off one-third of his lips, revealing his teeth, "I didn't mean to scare you, I just wanted to try to laugh at you."

“This... what’s going on?”Zhao Kang and Zhang Cang were in shock, and he turned his head to look at Qin Yi, who brought himself over, and his face was full of incredible looks.

“This is Professor Wen Fuchang, a member of our Changping Institute, and a companion of ours.”Qin Yi introduced them to them, "Professor Wen is using this potion, which is our largest research result."

“God, now you have developed a drug to conquer the zombie virus!”Zhao Kang exclaimed.

"No, not yet, we're just taking a small step in this direction," Qin Yi's voice was peaceful, not as fluctuating as Zhang and Zhao Kang.

“What about other countries?What is the point of their study?”Zhao Kang asked again.

"They're not out of the starting line."Qin Yi said, "We are a breakthrough in the genetic direction, and Professor Wen's own test of drugs, his sacrifice has helped our research a lot, because a living person can feedback a lot of valuable data."

"Oh," Wen Fuchang laughed, his smile looked very bruised, but Zhang and Zhao Kang were not so afraid before, "Qin Lao, you can't praise me, without this medicine hanging my life, I am afraid that I have long been a corpse."

Wen Fuchang pulled up his sleeve, one of the needles directly inserted into his wrist, brown liquid into his body, the skin near the needle tube a little white, looks different from other places.The rest of the skin is festering and can even see the unhealthy muscle tissue inside.

What does it mean to take a small step?“Academician Qin?”Zhang could look at Wen Fuchang, and then asked Qin Yi.

“The only way to make a breakthrough in our research on zombie viruses is genetics.This ... thanks to the successful transfer at the Yanjing Genetic Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, our researchers, equipment and data have been preserved and sent here together.”Qin Yi's mind also appeared in the terrible afternoon that had taken place in the capital at that time.

"We have sacrificed more than a thousand soldiers."

Qin Yi's voice with a glimmer of sadness, although the time has passed more than a year, but that day has been carved into the depths of his memory.

“Does that mean that zombie viruses are genetically related to humans?”Zhao Kang has not experienced the defense of the Yanjing Gene Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, so he can not empathize with Qin Yi, he is now interested in the zombie virus, because this virus is currently a common problem for all mankind.

"I can't give an accurate answer to this question, because we have only found a breakthrough in genetics, as you can see now, in Professor Wen's body, we have retained his 'human nature', or life, but his body tissue is still undergoing irreversible changes, which are no different from the zombies."

"The relationship between the virus and the gene, from my personal intuition, is there, but from a scientific point of view to rigorous analysis, I need more experimental data to support."You see, too, that our drugs work, but they are still very lacking.”
