Chapter 1046 Conquering the World Beyond Earth
An announcement from the Ministry of Commerce of China directly cut the market value of one of the world's largest medical and health care products and consumer care products companies by one third.
In early October, Johnson & Johnson's market value on Nasdaq was as high as 600 billion US dollars.
However, the day after this announcement came out, Johnson & Johnson's market value dropped by more than 200 billion US dollars. It directly dropped from the world's first health care products and consumer care products company to the world's fourth.
Such a cliff-like decline is extremely rare in the more than half a century since the establishment of the stock market.
Especially when there are no problems with the company's own business and operations, it is an unprecedented phenomenon.
For a time, almost all countries and companies that have developed markets in China are rethinking China's market and this unprecedented influence.
High-tech companies can also cause the other party's market value to decline, but it is impossible to exaggerate to this extent.
At the same time, on the other side, on the Internet social platform.
Compared with China's sanctions on Johnson & Johnson, netizens from various countries are more concerned about another piece of news jointly announced by the Xiashu Space Administration and the International Mars Bacteria Research Institute.
In early October, after the Martian daptomyces was completely eliminated in four astronauts who took drugs that reversely inhibited the expression of proteins transcribed by E. coli, the progress of research on Martian life on the moon and infection treatment was jointly announced by Xiashu Space Base and the International Martian Bacteria Research Institute.
Academician Chang Huaxiang of Xiashu Space Base personally hosted a press conference to announce this good news.
Media reporters from various countries asked questions about the Martian daptomyces infection of astronauts and the Yuehuatai scientific research base.
"Professor Chang, what do you think of the performance of various countries in responding to this global crisis?"
Hearing this question, Academician Chang Huaxiang replied with a smile on his face: "In the face of this disaster that endangers all mankind and even the entire earth, no matter which country or skin color, they all showed the spirit of unity and hard work."
"It is undeniable that this is another great victory in the historical monument of human development in the face of disasters brought to us by nature. To borrow an old Chinese proverb, this is called man conquers nature, that is, humans can solve any natural disasters and difficulties."
"I believe that when we face various unknown crises in the future, we will unite to solve all difficulties as we did this time."
Reporter: "It was circulated on the Internet before that the infection of Mars bacteria in the lunar research base this time was caused by human beings. Is this true?"
Hearing this sensitive issue involving international relations, Academician Chang Huaxiang thought for a while and nodded in reply.
"Yes, Constance Minik, a professor of exobiology from Georgia Institute of Technology in the United States, deliberately infected herself with the bacteria while studying the Martian caddis fungus, which eventually led to the infection of more than 35 researchers and medical experts from various countries and more than 50 staff members, causing a major safety accident."
Hearing that the previous rumors were confirmed, the media reporters in the audience were in an uproar.
Soon, a foreign reporter raised his hand and asked, "How will you deal with Professor Constance Minik? Will you file a lawsuit or repatriate her?"
Hearing this question, Academician Chang Huaxiang frowned slightly.
Not to mention the sensitivity of this question, he found it difficult to answer the question of authority involved.
Whether it is trial or repatriation, such matters should be decided by government agencies, not the Xiashu Space Base.
Just as he was about to play Tai Chi to push this question out, Wu Yuankang, the director of the Space Administration, who was sitting next to him, smiled and spoke.
"After the infection problem at the Yuehuatai research base is resolved, he will be escorted back to Earth by a space shuttle to receive the appropriate punishment for the interrogation."
"Of course, I can't give an accurate answer to what sentence he will receive, because it will be decided by China's legal department.
"But based on my personal understanding of our country's laws, Professor Constance Minik will face multiple charges such as endangering national security and crimes against humanity, and he will most likely spend the rest of his life in prison."
After a slight pause, he added: "Of course, he may not face prison, but the death penalty!"
Hearing this answer, the reporters in the audience immediately became excited.
The interrogation and sentencing of citizens of other countries has always been one of the most sensitive topics in the international community.
Especially the execution of the death penalty, it is no exaggeration to say that almost every case will attract widespread attention from the world.
Not to mention that this time it involves the two superpowers of China and the United States. This topic will explode for media reporters!
After the words fell, a reporter stood up and asked: "But if I remember correctly, Professor Constance Minik is a scholar and citizen of the United States. "
"Is China qualified to interrogate and sentence him to death? And is it possible for the United States to extradite him back to China?"
Standing on the press conference platform, Wu Yuankang replied without any hesitation: "According to the laws of our country, if a foreigner commits a crime in China, or a foreigner commits a crime against China or its citizens abroad, the Chinese criminal law shall apply. "
"Our country is fully capable of interrogating and sentencing him, as well as executing him!"
"As for whether the United States is likely to extradite him back to the country, it depends on the result of the legal verdict."
"If the sentence is a fixed-term imprisonment, then Constance Minik will serve all the sentences in the Chinese prison. If he is still alive after being released from prison, he will be deported to the United States and will be banned from entering China forever!"
The news that the Martian bacterial infection incident has been resolved quickly spread throughout the world.
Related media have reprinted and reported this incident.
"The crisis of all mankind has been resolved! A treatment plan has been found for the infection from Martian bacteria!"
No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, one look!
"Class A Martian bacteria have been officially conquered by the Chinese team at the Yuehuatai Base, and drugs that can completely kill this type of bacteria have been found! "
"Constance Minik of the United States, who deliberately leaked Martian bacteria on the moon and caused a serious infection accident, will face legal trial, or even the death penalty! 》
《Class A Mars bacteria has been officially renamed "Dead Stone Bacteria", which means that after being infected by it, the human body tissue structure will undergo a silicon-based transformation.》
When this news was officially spread on the Internet, it immediately caused a sensation in the international community and heated discussions among netizens from various countries.
In the eyes of most people, it is undoubtedly a very risky thing for bacteria from alien planets to infect humans, and the severity is even more serious than any plague disaster that has occurred in the history of human civilization on Earth.
After all, bacteria and viruses from Earth are at least life in human cognition.
Many people also believe that all things are interdependent, just like the traditional proverb that where poisonous snakes appear, there must be an antidote within a hundred meters.
But bacteria and viruses from alien planets are different.
Even if it has natural enemies like life on Earth, its natural enemies may have disappeared in the long evolutionary history of Mars.
Moreover, the life structure form that is completely different from that of life on Earth also makes it theoretically difficult to develop drugs to treat infections or kill such bacteria.
Therefore, almost everyone who has paid attention to the incident of Mars bacteria infecting astronauts from the beginning has expressed doubts about whether the International Mars Bacteria Research Institute can find a treatment plan.
Even in the past three months, many people have called on the Internet to permanently isolate the four infected astronauts, completely ban research on Mars bacteria, and cancel future plans to land on Mars to prevent the Earth's ecosystem from being infected.
But fortunately, after a long wait, the worries of countless people have finally settled at this moment and they are relieved.
As a result, the confidence in human beings' future migration to Mars and even more distant planets has increased a lot.
After all, in the era of interstellar colonization, humans will sooner or later encounter various alien life forms, bacteria, viruses and even advanced intelligent life forms.
Dealing with them is a matter of sooner or later, and it is completely foreseeable that alien life will bring trouble to humans.
But now, China has told everyone with facts that when facing alien life forms that are completely different from Earth creatures, they can still win.
If this is a war, then they have conquered the world outside the earth for the first time!
