Chapter 847: Stealing Penicillium
Chapter 847: Stealing Penicillium
In front of the building, two guards were walking back and forth with pistols on their waists and batons in their hands.
"Hey, Tom, there aren't many people coming here right now, why don't we go over to the side and have a cigarette?" Guard Daniel said to his companion.
Tom turned his head and looked around, then nodded and said, "Let's go over there!"
The two men walked to the flower bed next to the building's gate, and each of them lit a cigarette and started smoking.
In order not to alert the enemy, Zhang Yunhe was planning to find another entrance to sneak into the research laboratory building. Unexpectedly, the two guards hid aside to smoke. Now he didn't need to find other ways to sneak in, and he walked in directly through the gate.
The research laboratory building was brightly lit, and even the floors where no researchers were working were lit.
Zhang Yunhe stood at the stairs on the first floor and turned on the scanning function of the Iron Blood computer to search for the three-dimensional virtual holographic image structure diagram of the research building.
After two soft "beep, beep" sounds were heard, a three-dimensional virtual image was projected in front of my eyes, and the structural diagram of the entire research laboratory building appeared in front of me.
The three-dimensional virtual structure diagram not only shows the main reinforced concrete frame of the entire building, but also the images of cabinets, desks, chairs and some furnishings in each room.
First, eliminate the offices, utility rooms, toilets, tea rooms, conference rooms, security rooms, lounges, elevator shafts, and stairs. The remaining rooms are either document rooms with a large number of cabinets filled with paper materials, or laboratories with various instruments and equipment.
What surprised Zhang Yunhe even more was that there was an entire floor in the building filled with rooms housing a variety of animals, including gorillas, monkeys, pigs, sheep, dogs, chickens, ducks, mice, and so on.
"These animals and poultry should be used for drug experiments!" Zhang Yunhe muttered.
He also discovered that there was a secret room on the east side of the eighth floor. This secret room contained a low-temperature system and a thick metal safe. Because the walls of the metal safe were too thick, the scanning rays could not penetrate it, so the situation inside the safe could not be seen.
Zhang Yunhe guessed that there must be very important secrets in this secret room.
After closing the three-dimensional virtual holographic image, Zhang Yunhe walked up the stairs. He decided to go to the archive room first. Although there was a security system there as well, it was much simpler than the security system in the secret room.
The data archive room is also on the 8th floor, next to the secret room.
There is an elevator in this building, but Zhang Yunhe did not take the elevator but took the stairs. Taking the elevator may lead to unpredictable risks, so it is safer to take the stairs.
When he reached the fourth floor, Zhang Yunhe saw four guards patrolling the corridor with flashlights, checking the conditions of each office.
He went to the fifth floor and waited for the four guards to finish checking the fourth floor and then go down to the third floor. Then he continued to walk up the stairs until he reached the eighth floor and the door of the archive room.
Through the window, Zhang Yunhe saw two female employees sitting behind the desk in the archive room, chatting and eating snacks.
His eyes rolled, and he took out a blowpipe from the backpack and blew the smoke into the window.
Two minutes later, the two foreign women lay motionless on the table like dead pigs.
There are two doors to enter the archive room. The outermost one is an iron gate, and the inner one is a steel door. However, the locks of these two doors are ordinary mechanical locks, which is not difficult for Zhang Yunhe.
He took out a hairpin, inserted it into the keyhole, fiddled with it for a few times, and easily opened the outermost iron gate. Then he opened the inner steel door. Although it took ten seconds longer, it was still easy to open.
After entering the archive room, he immediately closed both doors.
Turning around and walking to the desk, he checked the two foreign female employees and found that they were indeed drugged. Then he began to search the document room for relevant literature and research records related to the research and manufacture of penicillin.
Most of the materials in the data room are literature and research materials on drug development. There are research materials on drugs from various medical disciplines, and most of them are manuscripts, but these are not Zhang Yunhe's goals.
His goal was very clear, which was to obtain research data on penicillin, and it would be best if he could find data on penicillin fermentation technology under liquid conditions.
He found some research materials related to penicillin and put them into his backpack without hesitation. However, these research materials did not include the penicillin liquid fermentation technology information he needed.
This technology involves culturing bacteria in deep liquid culture medium. Zhang Yunhe learned from the popular science materials he had learned in his previous life that this technology should have been developed by now. This is the key technology for the industrial mass production of penicillin.
After searching the archive room thoroughly, Zhang Yunhe still couldn't find the liquid fermentation technology for penicillin. He believed that the technical research materials should be in the secret room next door.
To reach the secret room, one must go through the archive room. It is not possible to enter the secret room from the outside. There is a secret door in the archive room leading to the secret room. If Zhang Yunhe had not scanned it through the Tiexue computer, it would have been difficult to find this secret room and the secret door.
Relying on his memory of the scanned three-dimensional virtual image of the building structure diagram, Zhang Yunhe quickly found the mechanism button. After pressing the button, a row of file cabinets against the wall slowly moved to the left, revealing a round steel door.
The shape, thickness and security technology of this steel door are comparable to those of a bank's vault door.
Zhang Yunhe first found the location of the security system switch through the Tiexue computer scan, turned off the alarm device, and then began to try to unlock it.
The lock of this door also adopts a dual mechanical structure. To open this door, you need to insert two keys into the keyhole at the same time to open it, and then turn the steering wheel to lock it.
For an agent, it is somewhat difficult to insert two keys at the same time to open the first mechanical lock, but Zhang Yunhe is still confident that he can do it. It just takes a little more time.
He inserted two thin steel wires into the two keyholes and fiddled with it for nearly three minutes before he figured out the internal structure of the lock.
With a "click", the first mechanical lock finally opened.
At this time, a thin layer of sweat appeared on Zhang Yunhe's forehead. He had opened many locks, and the lock of the bank vault had been opened nineteen times. This was the first time he spent so much time.
Next was the turntable mechanical lock. This time, Zhang Yunhe took out the best medical stethoscope of the era and put it on his ear. He fixed the earpiece to the steel door with tape, and slowly turned the turntable with both hands while listening to the sound of the mechanical gears turning inside the steel door.
After 8 minutes, Zhang Yunhe was sweating all over and finally heard a click in his headphones, and the turntable mechanical lock was finally opened.
He slowly opened the large round steel door. The temperature inside should be around zero degrees, and a gust of cold air rushed out.
The secret room is very simple, with only a table, a metal password box on the table, and a safe next to it.
Zhang Yunhe first used technical means to open the metal password box, and saw three brown glass bottles inside, with "Penicillium species" written on the bottles.
"It seems that this should be the strain used to make penicillin!" Zhang Yunhe muttered, closed the metal password box and put the box into the backpack space.
