Chapter 162: FBC emerges, TerraGroup emerges
Over the next few days, after everyone had a great time in Honolulu, Hawaii, they began to plan their own things.
After all, the entire state of Hawaii is about 15 times the size of Hong Kong, so it is impossible to visit the entire state in a short period of time.
The Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA), funded by the Global Pharmaceutical Federation, initially plans to establish branches in all continents of the world.
They are: Middle East Division, North America Division, South America Division, Western Africa Division, Eastern Africa Division, Far East Division and Oceania Division.
After Chris and others parted ways with Yang Ren, they went to the European headquarters in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (in Chinese: Great Britain).
……
2003 3 Month 20 Day.
It can be said that the Iraq War broke out without warning just as the trip to Hawaii ended.
The United States, together with the British Empire, launched a military invasion of Iraq on the grounds that Iraq "had weapons of mass destruction and secretly supported terrorists."
In this regard, TerraSave does not even have the power to interrupt.
They can only provide some meager humanitarian assistance to the people in the war silently in the rear.
Not long after, Chris, who was far away in Europe, also received some bad news:
The Global Pharmaceutical Federation's proposal to the United Nations was rejected.
The United Nations simply refused to recognize the international legitimacy of the BSAA on the grounds that "the global biological terrorism problem is not very serious."
Without the support of the United Nations, there would be no support in terms of personnel and equipment.
By the time Chris contacted Yang Ren, BSAA had only 11 members.
Their work is limited to assisting police around the world to establish anti-bioterrorism departments, and the journey is extremely difficult.
BSAA originally planned to set up a North American branch in the United States, but was directly rejected by the U.S. government.
The reason is very simple: we already have our own anti-biological organization.
But… not TerraSave.
A new anti-biological organization named [FBC] emerged, the full name of which is "Federal Bioterrorism Committee".
The organization is directly managed by the U.S. government, and all its actions are aimed at safeguarding the national interests of the United States, followed by responding to the global threat of biological and chemical terrorism.
The leader of the organization, Morgan Lansdale, was a former US military officer and had engaged in espionage activities for many years in the DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency). After retirement, he served as a consultant to the Global Pharmaceutical Federation.
He once used a wave of public opinion to call on Congress to set up a special agency to deal with the risk of biological weapons leaking to the black market after the collapse of Umbrella.
Therefore, after the establishment of FBC, Morgan was naturally elected as the leader of FBC and served as the National Director of Biological Prevention.
He even openly mocked TerraSave, another anti-biochemical organization, by name on the Internet:
"It is nothing more than a civil organization with a mere name and no real power."
After seeing this organization, Yang Ren finally understood why Adam had been so cold towards his TerraSave recently.
This is obviously a biological child, so why not just keep it as an adopted child?
In the face of Morgan's blatant provocation, Yang Ren could only swallow his anger and keep silent.
After all, if you endure for a while, you will have peace; if you take a step back, you will have a broader horizon.
Since you like dogs barking, let you go to the front line of the anti-biochemical war and "fight, cool!"
Anyway, it’s not my money that is being spent, and it’s not my people who are dying. I’m only responsible for eating, eating, and eating in the back.
According to the planned development plan, Yang Ren intended to build a large air force base directly above the Philadelphia mother nest.
Originally, there was a large ranch above the Philadelphia mother nest. The area was extremely large, and it was more than enough to build an air force base.
After the base is built, it is necessary to purchase some transport planes, helicopters, and even...
Multi-role fighter, or fighter-bomber.
After all, we are in America, and we cannot do without the traditional art of "air support".
However, the construction of an air force base in the suburbs of Philadelphia certainly could not be hidden from Adam and President Graham.
Adam readily agreed to build the base and purchase transport aircraft, but the purchase of fighter jets was directly rejected.
Adam's reasoning was also valid:
Do you want to be a warlord in Philadelphia by having such strong weapons? Do you really want to rebel?
If you really want to fly a plane, go buy a few propeller planes and modify them yourself. Jet fighters are absolutely not available to you.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with Adam doing this.
After all, the FBC had just been established, and a large number of advanced weapons and equipment were provided to the FBC on a priority basis. It was like being born with a silver spoon in its mouth.
TerraSave just suffered a big defeat. It's good enough that you are not blamed. How can you be blamed?
At this point, the development of TerraSave and BSAA seemed to be at a stalemate.
……
On April 4, the World Health Organization officially announced a new coronavirus called "SARS".
The virus, which causes severe acute respiratory syndrome, appears to have emerged in China's Guangdong province late last year and has since spread around the world.
When Yang Ren saw this news, he couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity.
Although he had not personally experienced this epidemic in his previous life, he knew clearly that this was the SARS epidemic that caused a sensation back then.
Soon, in early May, a drug called [TGLabs SJ5] from the American company TerraGroup flowed into China.
Yang Ren directly told China's ambassador to the United States, Yang Jiehu, that this was a specific medicine for SARS and would not have any sequelae.
To exaggerate a little, it may be able to "cure all diseases" and play a role in "strengthening the body".
In fact, it is just red grass + blue grass + a very small amount of T virus.
When Yang Jiehu heard the news, he was reluctant to believe it at first.
Even when I heard Yang Ren say something like "cure all diseases", I thought he was joking with the lives of billions of people in China and even the world.
However, based on the principle that there is no harm in giving it a try, and considering that Yang Ren had helped solve the Morpheus issue before, the Chinese side agreed to conduct the clinical trial.
The subject of the clinical trial is a middle-aged and elderly patient who suffers from hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, liver cirrhosis, and is in the late stage of SARS.
Suffering from so many diseases, his life can be said to be coming to an end.
With the mentality of giving it a try, and with the consent of the patient and his family, the patient underwent an injection experiment in a local hospital.
The results of the experiment shocked everyone:
Five minutes after the injection, the patient's condition began to improve.
30 minutes after the injection, the SARS virus in the patient's body was completely eliminated, and he was able to get out of bed and move around freely. He said frankly, "I feel 30 years younger."
Not only that, other diseases in the patient's body also improved, and even the hidden illnesses left over from injuries in early years disappeared.
Subsequent testing also found that his physical functions and various indicators had indeed recovered to the levels when he was 2,30 or years old.
That injection of SJ1 really seemed to have the effect of "curing all diseases" and "strengthening the body"!
Unfortunately, 12 hours after the injection, the patient's body functions gradually recovered, accompanied by a strong sense of hunger and increased appetite.
Compared to being tortured by various diseases, just being hungry... doesn't seem to be a sequelae.
At most there will be some side effects.
After the test, China did not hesitate to purchase the first batch of 1 TGLabs SJ injections from TerraGroup for the treatment of SARS patients in the country.
However, the patients still had to pay for the medicine themselves, and the final price was $2000 per dose. (Approximately equivalent to 8 RMB today.)
At this price, an average family would have to work hard for several years without eating or drinking to be able to afford one.
In other words, this is not for ordinary people.
Instead, it is used for those wealthy people who are unfortunately infected with SARS.
To them, $2000 is nothing. It is enough to “cure all diseases” and even adding another zero will do.
For the general public, there is also a weakened TGLabs SJ2, priced at $50 (about 2000 RMB today).
It can be said that TerraGroup has officially appeared in the world's attention.
