Chapter 18
Operation: Find the Problem
However, that these clinical trial subjects could exist safe and sound was the best news!
The general manager of the antidote, after confirming that these clinical subjects indeed had no issues, prepared to report to Zhang Aiguo.
He was truly happy; the subgroup he was in charge of finally had progress.
And it was no small progress!
But before this general manager could take a step out, he personally pulled back his foot.
After pulling back his foot, he secretly felt lucky that he hadn't run to report the situation to Zhang Aiguo on a whim.
Otherwise... praise would be out of the question, and it would be lucky if he didn't get scolded.
After all, it was now proven that the antidote from the antidote research subgroup was usable.
However... the reason why the clinical subjects underwent mutation after taking the antidote had not yet been found.
Once he went to tell Director Zhang this good news, and Director Zhang asked about this, he wouldn't know how to answer!
Wouldn't that be delivering his own head to be scolded?
Therefore, he should first find this cause before talking about anything else!
Before the cause was found, he wasn't thick-skinned enough to dare to go to Director Zhang.
He was still a bit afraid of being scolded!
Thus, this general manager returned to the laboratory and organized a mobilization meeting.
Mobilizing all the researchers in the laboratory to participate in this "Operation: Find the Problem."
As the name suggested, it was to find the problem with this antidote.
Why did taking the antidote make the human body so unstable?
Where did the cause of the instability lie...
These were all the causes that needed to be found.
The general manager could only suppress his excitement and plunge back into the experiments...
Meanwhile, Cao Shudong, after sending multiple messages to X without receiving a reply,
Also began to stop and no longer messaged X.
She knew it was useless; X probably wouldn't message her back.
After all, she had sent so many messages, and X hadn't replied to any. She didn't want to think about it anymore.
Cao Shudong began to collect all the items displayed in the basement into her space.
Since X didn't tell her how to solve the paint dilemma, she could only make plans early.
However, when storing the items again, Cao Shudong did so in an orderly manner.
This way, in case this disaster was overcome once again, when the staff came to inspect, the basement would be fully set up, which could deceive the staff sent by the higher-ups to verify.
While storing the items, Cao Shudong secretly cursed herself for being a big fool.
If she had known it would turn out like this, she wouldn't have bothered setting up the basement.
Wouldn't it have been better to just store them directly in her space?
One must know that after every disaster, as long as the government had the time and energy, they would send staff to inspect every household.
Furthermore, they would announce some matters each time.
Especially family dispute events, which were the most common.
Every time this kind of announcement came out, it would cause a bunch of people to discuss it online.
There were even people who specialized in comparing data each time for analysis.
Because each disaster basically took the family as a unit, surviving through household lockdown.
Therefore, this also led to families that were originally not very harmonious becoming even more... during the disaster.
Thus, this was also another way to verify the population count of N City.
Particularly families with abnormal situations, which had to be inspected as a priority.
Because it wasn't as if there hadn't been cases of people suddenly going missing.
Therefore, Cao Shudong setting up the basement fully was also to deceive the staff who came to inspect.
One must know that she had even put back the fish pond on the first floor and the vegetable garden on the second floor.
After all, she wasn't lacking anything; she still had quite a lot of stock in her space!
Of course, to put on a show, Cao Shudong still moved some fruit trees from the second floor to the basement.
She only moved the fruit trees, etc.—mature trees that had more spiritual energy—while vegetables, etc., were placed directly on the second floor, only harvesting the produce.
Along with the accessories that came with these fruit trees, Cao Shudong also brought them to the basement and set up a greenhouse for them once again.
According to the original operation manual, Cao Shudong, with the help of the indoor robot, didn't take long to set up these greenhouses.
At this moment, looking at her basement structure, she admired her own foresight from the bottom of her heart for building such a large basement.
Only now could she arrange all her miscellaneous items.
Otherwise, she would currently have to worry about how to arrange these things.
Cao Shudong massaged her waist, walked around to inspect, and while storing items, she felt proud of herself. How had she managed to set up these items so fully before?
She was truly amazing!
She had to praise herself every day.
She was just too wonderful!!!
Meanwhile, Zhang Aiguo, after finishing various meetings, felt somewhat confident about this disaster.
One must know that when he first learned that this animal riot was about to happen, Zhang Aiguo didn't believe it in his heart.
However, the data and materials presented by Researcher Mai Hao had successfully convinced him.
Therefore, from that moment on, Zhang Aiguo's heart had been hanging in suspense.
After all, this kind of double-disaster scenario happening at the same time was probably the first time he had ever heard of it.
As for how to solve this new phenomenon and new disaster, Zhang Aiguo could only grope his way forward.
No one knew how to solve it.
No one could give Zhang Aiguo relevant experience.
Now, the paint problem had been found, and the research institute had also proposed a solution.
Furthermore, Zhang Aiguo had finished his meetings, and the meetings had passed the solution.
Led by the research institute, other relevant units would cooperate to solve it.
Therefore, the paint problem had also begun to be resolved.
At the research institute, Zhang Aiguo had also set a time limit.
The time for the animal riots to reach N City was constantly fluctuating.
Zhang Aiguo could only request the researchers of the research institute to quickly resolve the hidden danger of the paint ahead of schedule.
And the researchers Zhang Aiguo was thinking of, especially those of the Materials Team, were also working overtime.
With the higher-ups pushing hard, the researchers below could only work themselves to the bone.
They also had to ensure quality and quantity; otherwise, it might cost many lives.
Especially the requirements of the higher-ups, which had to be guaranteed!
Fortunately, Researcher Chen had found the problem with this paint early on.
The researchers only needed to first remove this hidden danger element and then use the remaining materials to make new paint.
Furthermore, they also had to remind some coastal research institutes about the problem with this paint.
However, the researchers of the Materials Team were not yet prepared to remind other research institutes about this.
Because they felt they would solve this paint problem very quickly, and by then, they could directly provide the latest version of the paint to the research institutes in other regions.
This way, they could reduce the chance of being scolded.
The Materials Team researchers didn't really think they wouldn't be scolded at all.
After all, the problem had indeed appeared on their end, so being scolded was only natural.
However, these Materials Team researchers only hoped that this new version of the paint could prevent them from being scolded too harshly.
Therefore, everyone agreed on a course of action: not to mention this to other regional research institutes for now.
Currently, they would first have everyone speed up to test out the latest paint formula as early as possible.
This was the most important thing right now!
The Materials Team researchers didn't want to talk about this with other research institutes.
However, they couldn't stop Zhang Aiguo from talking about this with other regional directors.
Each regional director had a private chat group.
They could exchange information with each other in the group.
And after Zhang Aiguo learned about the paint matter, he didn't think of hiding it. He directly uploaded today's work records at a fixed time.
This also resulted in the Materials Team researchers, who were still diligently conducting experiments, receiving quite a few phone calls in succession.
Then, without exception, all of them were calls to scold them.
And the scolding was exceptionally brutal!
It directly left these Materials Team researchers completely stunned from the scolding...
