In Europe and North America, the number of infected people has reached a terrifying number.

There are frequent cases of medical staff being infected with the virus, and there are even news of doctors dying of infection, which has caused a lot of panic among medical staff.The most serious countries have even dispatched chemical defense forces to isolate designated hospitals and strictly control the entry and exit of personnel.

This virus crisis has thrown the world into chaos, and the situation has become unprecedentedly severe.

Some countries have introduced the strictest entry restrictions, except in the case of trade, temporarily suspending all inbound flights from Europe and North America.

……

The isolation area of ​​Binhai People's Hospital.

Li Yufang took the inspection report, opened Zhao Min's isolation room and entered.At this time, she was wearing a thick mask, protective clothing, and glasses, and there was no skin exposed to the air all over her body.

Passing the test report sealed in a plastic bag to Zhao Min, Li Yufang said, "The results are here. One good news and one bad news. The bad news is that we have isolated the VFV virus in your blood, which has metabolic activity. Prove that you are indeed infected with the VFV virus."

Li Yufang's voice was dignified.

At the beginning, the blood routine examination in the laboratory only found relevant antibodies in Zhao Min's blood. Even if Glaxo's test reagents responded, but Zhao Min had no symptoms, he could only be judged as a suspected case. The incubation period needs to be observed.

But Zhao Min's identity was different, so they separated the blood components of Zhao Min's blood, and found VFV virus in the separated blood.

This shows that Zhao Min is indeed infected with VFV and is in the incubation period.

Li Yufang's answer made Zhao Min's face change slightly, and he quickly calmed down: "Then what's the good news?"

"The good news is that the antibodies in Zhao Min's body are higher than those of ordinary people. The metabolic activity and quantity of the VFV virus are much lower than those of ordinary infected people. This is the main reason why the virus in her body is less contagious and has a longer incubation time. But not It means that she is not contagious, and there is still a possibility of contagion in close contact with her.

The virus was also found in Lanxi's blood, and the number increased significantly, much faster than Zhao Min's. It is believed that the symptoms of the disease will appear soon.It should be that during the recent contact between the two, Ms. Zhao infected Ms. Lan Xi, which led to the fact that neither of them had any symptoms for a month.Ms. Zhao Min's onset time is not yet certain.She is an exception, the first case in which the virus has been found to have incubated for such a long time. "

"Okay, thank you doctor."

Chen Mo put down the phone, frowning. The news from Binhai City was not good news.Now that he is diagnosed, what he worried about has happened.

Although the VFV virus in Zhao Min's body did not break out, it has metabolic activity, which means that the number will increase. Once it exceeds Zhao Min's immunity, the virus will break out. If there is no treatment plan by then, it will definitely be very troublesome.

"That's why you suddenly joined the research team, right?" Wu Bing, who was next to him, looked at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo suddenly joined, she was a little strange.It's been a month since the outbreak of the epidemic, and Chen Mo should have joined if he wanted to participate, but he just chose to join last week. There must be something that made him change his mind and he had to participate.At that time, she didn't want to ask too many questions, and she kept it buried in her heart, and now she finally knows the answer.

"Yes." Chen Mo nodded, and told the truth: "Zhao Min attended the economic forum in New York. Last time in Binhai City, he was suspected of being infected with the virus and was quarantined for observation."

"If Zhao Min wasn't infected, you wouldn't be involved, right?" Wu Bing was stunned.

"This is the responsibility of your doctors. There are tens of thousands of medical personnel around the world participating in the fight against the epidemic. Sooner or later you will find a drug to solve the problem. There are still many research projects.”

Chen Mo did not deny Wu Bing's words.

"It's just that Zhao Min is suspected of being infected, so I have to get involved, just in case, and I can help."

"No wonder she is willing to work under you without complaint or regret, and help you lay down such a big fortune." Wu Bing's expression was a little complicated, and he didn't get entangled in this issue, and quickly shifted the topic to the key point: "Then find a medical solution quickly , If the VFV virus breaks out, no one can say for sure the consequences."

After thinking for a long time, Chen Mo said: "I want to apply to send Zhao Min here for isolation and treatment. Her case is special, and she has been latent for a long time without breaking out. Maybe I can find a breakthrough in her."

In addition to the above-mentioned reasons, this proposal also has his own little selfishness.

At present, the isolation area in the capital is the most complete and advanced isolation area in China. The medical team and medical staff are all top-notch in the country. Many of them participated in the rescue of the epidemic that year. Zhao Min was sent here for isolation. The safety factor is relatively high. Everywhere is taller.

At the beginning, I chose to join the officially established research team instead of doing it myself.In addition to the top-notch medical team here, there are also the most favorable experimental conditions here, which can keep abreast of the progress of the epidemic and have the fastest logistical help, which can also speed up his drug development. good treatment conditions.

"You go and apply with Team Leader Shi yourself, Team Leader Shi probably won't reject your application." Wu Bing took a deep look at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo is an all-rounder who can be said to be proficient in everything.The potential potion that can improve the body's physique was made by Chen Mo, and she is one of the few people who knows the inside story.Chen Mo is experienced in drug development.

What's even more enchanting is his ability to learn and understand. He can master the principles once he explains them, and he can master the instruments once he uses them. The members of their expert team were stunned. If they didn't know Chen Mo's identity, they would definitely think that he is a professional medical doctor. personnel.

Each of them has its own team and research direction.

Chen Mo only joined the research team for a few days, and he had a thorough understanding of the research materials of everyone in the team, and he would propose some more out-of-the-way methods, giving them a feeling of enlightenment.

Now in the team, all the researchers treat Chen Mo as a professional. Shi Hongtu puts a lot of hope on Chen Mo, hoping that he can create miracles.

"Then I'll leave for a while now and talk to Team Leader Shi." After Chen Mo finished speaking, he turned and left.

Chapter 466 Other people have nothing to do with me

Zhao Min left the isolation warehouse and was sent to an isolation room by the medical staff. He looked at the surrounding environment with doubts in his expression.

Yesterday, she was notified that the hospital wanted to transfer her to the capital for treatment. She said it was Chen Mo's intention, and she agreed without hesitation.

As a result, this morning, she was sent to the isolation warehouse. Accompanied by medical staff, she took a special plane and was sent here.

The environment of this hospital is much better than that of Binhai People's Hospital, as can be seen from the layout and details of the rooms.Through the glass windows, you can still see the flowers and plants outside the window, which can open up your mood a lot.

click...

The door of the ward opened suddenly, and two medical staff in protective suits, masks and glasses walked in.

"How does your body feel?"

"It's you?" Zhao Min was startled when he heard a familiar voice.

Now that Chen Mo is wearing protective clothing, a mask and glasses, she can't recognize him, but when she speaks, she immediately knows Chen Mo's identity. This voice is the one she is most familiar with.

"Why are you here? This is a quarantine area, so you're not afraid of being infected?"

"Come in to find you, I won't come in because I'm afraid of infection." Chen Mo said.

He applied to send Zhao Min here, but Shi Hongtu agreed without hesitation, and arranged for medical personnel to help isolate and transfer.Yesterday's application will transfer people here today.

"Okay, since you're not afraid, give me a hug first." Zhao Min walked over and hugged Chen Mo casually. Even though he was separated by protective clothing, he still felt inexplicably at ease.

"Have you had enough hugs? Are there any nurses here? Don't spoil my reputation, I'm a family man."

"Look, sister nurse is more sensible than you, don't overdo it." Zhao Min was in a good mood, and most of the worries about contracting the VFV virus disappeared: "Xiao Yu won't mind with me. At worst, I'll go back and explain. When a woman is sick, You will be particularly vulnerable and emotional, so you should give me some comfort."

"You're an old girl at best, the kind of old leftover girl."

The female nurse next to her laughed tremblingly when she heard Chen Mo's words.

Zhao Min was so angry that she rolled her eyes, this guy sometimes intentionally straightened her, which always gave her the urge to hit someone: "I've finished watching, my sister has nothing to look at, hurry up and go."

"Walking is not going away. Starting today, I will be one of your attending physicians until you recover."

Zhao Min looked at him curiously: "You also know medicine? Are you sure you're not a quack doctor?"

Chen Mo was completely speechless, the daily life of the two hurting each other was always like this.

"Academician Chen joined the VFV specific drug research team last week, and is now a member of the expert team. It is Academician Chen's intention to transfer you here this time." The little nurse next to him explained for Chen Mo.

Zhao Min's heart warmed up, and she didn't look joking, she was very moved.Chen Mo has been indifferent to the epidemic for a month, and now she joins the team, she can naturally guess the reason.

"Thank you."

"Okay thanks again, I need to check your situation now."

"Do you want a full physical examination?" Zhao Min asked with a ruddy face.

Seeing Zhao Min's faltering appearance, Chen Mo almost ran away, feeling that it was a mistake to transfer her here.

Before Chen Mo answered, the nurse next to him was overjoyed.It's rare to hear a conversation between two big figures. I didn't expect the conversation between the two to be quite interesting, not as far-fetched as it was seen in the news.

"Your condition hasn't broken out, what can a full body check check? I'm not a professional doctor, I'm just in charge of developing specific drugs. Now it's a blood test. I need your blood to see what's going on with the virus in your body."

Chen Mo turned to look at the nurse.

"Give her a blood test."

Sitting on the bed, Zhao Min saw the nurse come out with the needle, feeling anxious and restless, his body was stiff and subconsciously leaned back, his hands were trembling.

"Ms. Zhao, don't move." The nurse pressed Zhao Min's arm.

"She's afraid of needles." Chen Mo suddenly remembered Zhao Min's fear of needles, and reminded him, "Maybe she's nervous."

Afraid of injections?

The nurse looked at Zhao Min in amazement, the dignified president of the Marching Army Ant Group, with a man of less than [-], and a cold and domineering personality to the outside world, he did not expect to be afraid of injections.But at least now it seems that it is not as close to strangers as before, which is a bit cute in contrast.

"Look at other things, think about things you like, and divert your attention without looking at the needle." The nurse reminded.

Zhao Min's eyes fell on Chen Mo, looking straight at him, with a much calmer expression.

Sensing Zhao Min's gaze, Chen Mo's face under the mask felt a little helpless. Seeing her nervous appearance, he still asked, "Have you taken any medicine in the past month since the last forum?"

"Why do you ask this?"

"According to the information from Binhai City, your condition is a bit special. The incubation period of the virus is too long, and the metabolic activity of the pathogen is much lower than that of ordinary people. Therefore, I need to confirm whether you have taken any drugs to cause this kind of disease. Depending on the situation, there may be a breakthrough in research.”

Zhao Min thought for a while, then shook his head for sure: "No, during this period of time, he ate regularly and did not take any medicine."

"After you participated in the forum in New York, have you experienced any discomfort in the past month? Or something particularly abnormal?"

"Does auntie count?" Zhao Min asked.

"Abnormal?"

"No, it's quite regular and normal."

A few black lines appeared on Chen Mo's forehead: "That doesn't count."

"That's gone." Zhao Min thought for a while, as if thinking of something: "However, you used that medicine for me last time, and I haven't been sick, not even a small cold."

"Yes!!"

Chen Mo patted his head, suddenly realized that Zhao Min's words awakened him, the authority.

Potential medicine, in addition to enhancing strength and speed, can also increase the body's immunity.Zhao Min is one of the users, and he personally helped Zhao Min inject it.

Zhao Min's immune ability is much better than that of ordinary people, because he had used potential potions back then.

This is a good reminder, at least know that the body and immune ability strengthened by potential medicine can make the metabolism of the virus not so fast.

It may also be helpful for the development of specific medicines.

The nurse pulled out the needle, and Zhao Min let go of it with a sigh of relief, his face turned pale, frightened by the needle.

"You stay optimistic and leave the rest to me."

Zhao Min smiled, his pale face came back to life, with tears in his eyes, all the worries in his heart disappeared.It seemed that it was the first time someone said this to her so seriously, and it felt very good.

……

Potential medicine improves Zhao Min's immunity, which makes Zhao Min have the ability to resist the virus!Hearing this answer, Wu Bing was full of surprise.

Potential medicine, she participated in the clinical trials all the way, so she naturally knew the function of that medicine.Improve the metabolic activity of human cells, enhance human strength, speed, endurance and immunity.It can make ordinary people have the physique of a trained soldier.

This strategic drug is still top secret and is only used by a few special forces and guard regiments.Zhao Min knew about this project, and it was normal for Chen Mo to use it for her to improve her physique.

"I'm not sure if this is the case, but this is the best explanation. I have to try it and see the effect." Chen Mo said.

Wu Bing pondered for a while, and asked, "Do you want to experiment with potions of potential?"

"Yes."

"It is impossible for the higher authorities to agree to the large-scale use of medicines by ordinary people, especially Westerners. If this medicine is exposed, it will reveal a hole card, and the formula of the medicine may be leaked." Wu Bing said.

"I don't plan to use it on a large scale either. I just want to get rid of Zhao Min's disease and Lan Xi's disease. The others have nothing to do with me."

Chapter 467 Not too good news

The Hughes Medical Institute, here is one of the most famous non-profit medical research institutes in the United States, the global bioterrorism outbreak, under the coordination of the WHO, the Hughes Medical Institute, became an 'angel team' to tackle the VFV virus specific drug research institute.

Qiu Xiang led the team and walked towards the meeting room.

Qiu Xiang now has a report in his hand, a report on VFV antibody research, but there is not much joy on the faces of everyone.

Antibodies in the patient's serum or body fluids are the most commonly used method for treating viral infections.During this period of research, their team found that the antibodies in the patient's serum were too weak to clear the VFV virus at all.

And they have no way to find patients in the recovery period. The VFV virus is too toxic, and the antibodies produced by the human body's immune system cannot 'kill' the virus at all.

This led to their research on specific medicines, at a loss.

After discussion, the team decided to use animal immune serum to try, and found 8 kinds of animals for experiments to infect the animals with the virus, but soon found that even the immunized bovine serum had no obvious effect on the treatment of VFV.

During this time, I have been experimenting every day, trying hundreds of possible ways.

They tried all the possible conjectures they discussed, and finally found that the one with the highest probability of success was the monoclonal antibody.

In order to speed up the research, the 72-person team was divided into eight groups, four groups were responsible for finding other therapeutic drugs, and the remaining four groups were responsible for testing the 16 monoclonal antibodies developed. The team led by Qiu Xiang is one of them.

During the test, the four groups of people used 50 times the LD1000 (half lethal dose) to infect the experimental mice.
