Bright Sword: Leading the Special Operations Squadron to Fight the Japs

Chapter 279 Biological Research Institute Test Site

That afternoon, in the auditorium of Pingshun Hotel, Zhao Gang and Wang Meng announced the final distribution plan.

Most engineers can go to the industry of their choice. A small number of engineers are "adjusted" to related industries, but this is acceptable.

Only Edward started to yell in dissatisfaction.

"Wang, Zhao, I want to protest. I am a biological engineer. Why should I go to an engineering unit? Do you want me to study earthworms and dung beetles dug out of the soil?"

"Please be patient, my dear Mr. Edward. Perhaps you have forgotten that, as you said, you have extensive experience in engineering management. I think civil engineering is also engineering. Perhaps you can play a greater role there!"

"No, I protest! If this is the case, I will leave here and go back to Country M! Friends, if they can do this to me today, they can do the same to you tomorrow!"

Wang Meng saw that it was obvious that he was planning to run away because he couldn't get any benefits. He even wanted to incite others before leaving!

However, Wang Meng looked at the engineers whose expressions changed and who were whispering, and sneered in his heart. Organizing a mass movement in front of him, wasn't that like showing off one's sword in front of Guan Gong?

Wang Meng will not give him this opportunity!

"Okay, Mr. Edward, in that case, what is your wish?"

Edward saw that Wang Meng seemed to have given in, and a hint of pride appeared on his face.

"Of course it's the same as what I filled out. I want to do research in biology!"

"Okay, I promise you! But in front of so many experts from Country M, I must make it clear to you. I will let you engage in biological research, even penicillin research, but if you dare to cause trouble again, I will cancel your status as Country M's aid consultant to China, and you must pay me a considerable amount of damages!"

Edward rolled his eyes. As long as he could carry out research on penicillin and get the secret of southern Shanxi, the so-called huge loss would be nothing!

"Okay, I promise you! But you can't deliberately make things difficult for me!"

"Of course, I treat all the M country China aid advisory group as VIPs, including you, Mr. Edward!"

Zhao Gang looked at Wang Meng with some suspicion. Isn't this inviting a wolf into the house? How could he do such a stupid thing?

But Wang Meng nodded at Zhao Gang, signaling him to relax.

All engineers of the M country's advisory group to China were assigned an English-speaking translator. The role of these translators was not only to help them communicate with the Chinese, but their more important task was to keep an eye on their every move.

When everyone thought it was a matter of course and accepted it happily, only Edward showed an unhappy expression, but since everyone had agreed, he had no choice but to accept it.

Edward was eventually sent to Fenglingdu, the farthest place from Pingshun, which had just become a testing ground for a biological research institute.

The full name is "Fenglingdu Experimental Field of the Institute of Biology, Pingshun Academy of Sciences", and the paint on the sign hanging at the door seems to have not dried yet.

This testing site is not in Fenglingdu Town, but in a village more than 20 miles away from the town.

A small yard and two small bungalows. One of them is filled with rotten vegetables, fruits and shoes with green hair growing on them, and the other one is home to an old man with hearing loss.

The translator opened the courtyard door and shouted into the house seven or eight times, but no one responded. Finally, he threw a stone and finally called out the hard-of-hearing old man.

"Uncle Qi, this is our new consultant from Country M!"

"Swine fever? We don't have swine fever here. Even though those rotten vegetable leaves are hairy, they definitely don't have swine fever! Besides, can vegetable leaves get swine fever? Don't talk nonsense!"

The translator was also speechless. Wang Meng had greeted him in advance and said that he had found an old man temporarily, but he didn't expect that he was a hard of hearing old man!

The translator doubled his voice, almost shouting.

"It's not swine fever! It's the consultant! It's the teacher we invited!"

"Oh, oh, teacher from a foreign country, come in quickly! What is this teacher's name?"

"Edward!"

"What Dehua?"

"Edward!"

"What do you love?"

"Edward!"

"Ed what?"

"Edward!"

"Oh, Edward, I can't remember! Come in!"

Uncle Qi moved aside, revealing three broken beds and a table with a broken leg. There was nothing else except a pile of old Qi's tattered clothes.

The translator looked at Edward somewhat embarrassedly.

"Mr. Edward, the conditions here are indeed a bit difficult, but what we are doing is very meaningful! We have to find those excellent strains from the house next door!"

Edward, who was originally a little disgusted and frustrated, thought that since the strain was selected from here, there must be relevant information.

"I still don't know what to call you, my translator!"

Edward was so angry along the way that he had no intention of remembering the translator's name, even though he had introduced himself many times.

"Mr. Edward, my name is Tong Zhou, and I also study biology!"

"Tong, are you saying that this place provides strains to the penicillin factory in Pingshun?"

"Yes, there is such a plan!"

"Plan? What does that mean?"

“What I mean is that although we have been working hard to screen out excellent strains, we are still working hard and have not succeeded yet!”

Edward almost fainted. Tong Zhou's words sounded so nice, but it turned out that they were all his imagination and expectations!

"Mr. Edward, why do you look so bad? Are you feeling unwell? The air here is indeed poor, but in order to cultivate the strain, we have to close the doors and windows to ensure the best temperature for the strain's development."

Edward waved his hands. He now had only one thought, which was to return to Country M as soon as possible and let the so-called mission, US dollars, and honor go to hell!

The musty smell reminded him of the smell of a damp cemetery; it was unsettling and disgusting!

"Tong, maybe I shouldn't have come to this place. Maybe I should go back to Pingshun, back to Country M."

"Mr. Edward, although the conditions here are difficult, I believe that as long as we persist, we will be able to select and cultivate the best strains! Science requires persistence!"

Edward, who was just trying to make a fortune, didn't care about the scientific spirit at all and immediately pushed open the shaky door.

"Promise me one thing, Tong. Arrange a car for me immediately!"

Tong Zhou felt a little regretful when he saw that Edward was beyond redemption.

"Mr. Edward, our country is very backward and needs your help. Please reconsider it!"

Edward could no longer bear Tong Zhou's chattering and the damp and moldy smell.

"What are you thinking about! I never thought of helping you! I was fooled by the FBI!"

Edward covered his mouth. Just one month's training was not enough to keep him rational when he was extremely angry.
