    Southern China, Shenhai City.  "The Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention issued an influenza prevention and control warning to the public: During the Spring Festival, people go out frequently and visit relatives and friends more, which makes it easier for the influenza virus to spread. Therefore, it is a period of frequent influenza in previous years. Chief Physician Gu Qing, Director of the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention said  Winter and spring are the seasons of high influenza incidence. The latest monitoring data shows that there is currently an outbreak of influenza in this city. The incidence of influenza this winter is significantly higher than in the previous two years, and there has been a significant increase in influenza cases in this city in the past week compared with the beginning of the year.  The proportion of cases among outpatient cases has increased several times compared with the same period last year. However, the public must be vigilant, pay attention to maintaining good hygiene habits, and do a good job in influenza prevention. The municipal party committee and government have issued important instructions on disease prevention and epidemic prevention.  , introduce effective control measures" You Xiaojing, the host of Shenhai TV's news broadcast, carefully organized her press release after completing the live news program.  "Ahem!" You Xiaojing had a slight cough since yesterday, but she didn't take it to heart. She bought some cold medicine and took it, but it had no effect.  "Xiaojing, do you have a cold too? You have to be careful about the recent influenza outbreak. According to internal news, this time the influenza virus is a new mutated type with very strong drug resistance. There are now hundreds of thousands in the entire deep sea.  Infected people. All hospitals are crowded. The antiviral drugs in pharmacies are almost out of stock." Liu Chen, a colleague of You Xiaojing, asked with concern.  I don't really care.  As for the flu virus, outbreaks seem to be normal.  "What You Xiaojing and Liu Chen don't know is that this virus is far from as simple as they imagined.  The outbreak of influenza virus is not only in Shenhai City. From south to north, almost all large, medium and small cities have been swept by this new influenza virus.  The situation in Huacheng City is more serious than that in Shenhai City.  Millions of people are infected with the influenza virus.  Already many factories have had to close due to influenza virus outbreaks.  The migrant workers who sensed that something was not quite right began to evacuate from Huacheng in panic.  This rapid population flow has accelerated the rapid spread of this new influenza virus.  Because it was a flu virus, it didn¡¯t attract much attention at first.  The disease control department is only trying its best to ensure the supply of medicines.  The focus was also on the research on specific drugs for this new virus. I never thought about the conspiracy contained in this influenza virus.  Zhang Qi and fellow villager Zheng Jinfeng were carrying their bags and preparing to go home.  The factory where they were working was raided by a large number of workers suffering from colds.  It is no longer possible to start work.  There was no way to find a new job right away.  Zhang Qi discussed with his fellow villagers that since it was approaching the twelfth lunar month, he might as well go home early.  Come to Huacheng again next year.  There are not many people who plan like Zhang Qi and Zheng Jinfeng.  Let the Spring Festival travel season, which is nearly a month away, come ahead of schedule.  The train station suddenly became crowded, with a large number of passengers coming from north to south meeting here.  It also happened to spread the new influenza virus rapidly to all parts of the country.  After more than ten days of treatment, hospitals in Shenhai and Huacheng discovered something unusual about this new influenza virus.  Li Xiaosong, a respiratory doctor at Shenhai People's Hospital, found that various existing antiviral drugs were useless against this new influenza virus.  Previous treatment methods have completely lost their effect.  Ribavirin is ineffective, oseltamivir is ineffective, rimantadine is ineffective even some traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions have lost their due effect in this treatment.  Li Xiaosong smelled something wrong.  In his experience, influenza viruses have spread over the years.  No matter how they vary, some effective drugs can always be found for them.  This situation is unprecedented.  Unless this virus did not mutate under natural conditions, but was artificially created in a laboratory.  If the latter, then the situation is more complicated.  Li Xiaosong told the department director Zhao Jiqian about the situation.  Zhao Jiqian disagreed: "Xiao Li, you are overthinking. Young people should not always hold conspiracy theories. This is a new type of influenza virus. The current overuse of antibiotics has caused the influenza virus to mutate faster, and a new type will appear.  It¡¯s a natural thing. Besides, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are paying attention to this matter, and experts in various fields are also studying this new influenza virus. Could it be that they can¡¯t see the problems you can see?¡± Li Xiaosong  He still wanted to defend himself a few words, but was dismissed by Zhao Jiqian with one sentence: "Young people should not think about becoming famous all day long. While you are young, you should do your job well in a down-to-earth manner. Instead of thinking about unrealistic things.  ¡± R&D Center of Handing Group in Tanshan City, Sanxiang Province.  Samples of the new influenza virus have been sent to the laboratory of Handing R&D Center.  Various studies on this new virus are already being carried out intensively.  "Everyone, come and take a look. There is something abnormal about this nucleic acid chain. We have searched all the nucleic acid chains of previous influenza viruses. We have not found such a sequence. It is these strange sequences that make this new virus?Has very strong drug resistance.  Immunity to virtually all existing anti-flu viral drugs.  This nucleic acid fragment is not formed by natural mutation, but is artificially synthesized.  It is a product of genetic engineering technology.  On this point, I have more evidence.  " Song Rui stopped here and dug out some new information. "This is the nucleic acid sequence data of the virus sample that we obtained through various channels.  From this, we found some sequences that are homologous to this new influenza virus.  And these sequences can be proven by a large amount of data.  It is an artificially synthesized sequence.  Someone cloned this synthetic sequence into the genome of this new virus.  This makes this new virus extremely capable of spreading and highly resistant" Zhao Jianwei waited for Song Rui to finish his introduction. Then he said: "In addition to what Dr. Song said, we also have an amazing  Discover.  We discovered an even more terrifying ability of this virus, its ability to identify the people it infects.  To be more specific, this virus only targets Chinese people.  It can even accurately distinguish Chinese, Japanese and Xianbei people.  This is not a flu virus, but a man-made biochemical attack.  " There was an exclamation in the conference room of Handing Group's R&D center. Zhao Jianwei waited for the conference room to become quiet before continuing: "In our research, we found that this virus specifically recognizes some characteristic genes on the Chinese genome.  Only Chinese people can be infected with the virus.  " "Damn it!  "Sun Chaokun couldn't help but cursed. In the conference room, the researchers at the R&D center were also very angry. At this time, Qin Chuan slowly entered the conference room. All the researchers in the conference room immediately focused their attention on Qin Chuan.  Chuan stood up one by one to welcome Qin Chuan's arrival (to be continued).
