Natural Disaster: My Portable Farm in the End of the World
Chapter 205 Amazing Discovery
Thirteen of the twenty samples contained valid eggs. Each fifty grams of corn containing insect eggs can extract ten grams of insect eggs, and each gram of insect eggs can extract one milligram of active ingredients.
An adult only needs one injection of the vaccine to completely kill all the new pneumonia virus in the body. Each injection contains two milligrams of active ingredient.
This means that one injection requires two grams of insect eggs, which is ten grams of corn. At first glance, not much corn is needed.
The one hundred bags of corn brought back weighed one hundred kilograms each. If the proportion of insect eggs contained could be maintained at 60%, then a total of 300,000 milligrams of pesticide could be extracted from these corns.
These medicines can only supply vaccines to 150,000 people at most.
The number of infected patients now completely exceeds this number. Dancheng still has a population of nearly 1.8 million, and there are currently as many as 500,000 patients in various isolation points.
The gap in needed vaccines remains large.
After Dean Ge brought the corn back, he quickly carried out inspection and testing. These are "life-saving food" in every sense, and not a single bit should be wasted.
After preliminary testing, the corn containing insect eggs was screened out, and the remaining "clean grain" had to be returned to Minister Liao.
Then there is the more precise method of peeling off the eggs. After experiments, Dean Ge has learned that eating corn that has taken away the eggs can also achieve the purpose of cure.
However, this method is not very efficient. Although it can delay the progression of the disease, the content of effective substances does not meet the required standards and cannot eliminate all viruses.
The number of vaccines currently produced is limited, and after one day, only more than a thousand vaccines were extracted.
After discussion, the vaccine was first given to those who had been infected for more than four days. At the same time, other people with moderate to mild infections could eat corn porridge once a day to delay their illness.
Every second now is a race against death. All the people in the laboratory are divided into two parts. One part is responsible for peeling off the eggs, and the other part is the professional and technical people who cooperate with the experts to research substitutes for the eggs.
It is always easier to have the conditions to deduce the conclusion than to get the results without knowing anything. After two days of sleepless trial and error, an expert finally found a substance that has the same effect as the active ingredients in insect eggs.
Interestingly, it is also obtained from bugs.
The emergence of insect eggs inspired experts. Some researchers applied for several groups of insect eggs for cultivation. During the process, they found that the eggs were very similar in color and individuality to another type of insect eggs that appeared in the early period of high temperature.
What is even more surprising is that the researchers found another type of egg for comparison and testing and found that this type of egg also contains virus-killing amino acids and peptides, and the content is higher!
During high-temperature periods, this insect flourished on a large scale. It was finally discovered that the ashes after burning the adults of this insect will cause the eggs to rot and melt, and the residue after the decay and melting is rich in special nutrients, which can increase vegetable production.
Because of its special nature, officials collected a large amount of remnants at that time.
Worried that high-temperature fire would destroy the active ingredients, Dean Ge came forward to find stored insect ash.
Fortunately, it was well preserved and was not contaminated by floods.
After a series of tests, everyone was nervously waiting for the results. In the end, there is no end to the problem and it did not affect the composition of the active ingredients.
The officially stored insect ash weighs not only tons but also hundreds or even thousands of kilograms. Coupled with the active ingredients extracted from corn insect eggs, it can basically cover the entire Dan City population.
The only problem now is the speed of vaccine production. An existing production line has been modified and its speed is limited. It can only produce two thousand vaccines per day.
The top priority is to modify production lines to meet standards that can mass-produce such vaccines.
…………
When Xiang Chi and Xu Ge received notification that they could be vaccinated, it was their fourth day in the greenhouse.
This is already considered an early batch, because Hexi Village is currently the only vegetable planting base that has resumed production in Dancheng. Officials are paying great attention to this place. In order to ensure that the planting staff here are not infected, the number of vaccines is enough to directly A special batch of vaccines is specially allocated for people in Hexi Village to receive priority vaccination.
On the day of vaccination, Xu Ge went home and took Xu Tao and Xu's father to the vegetable greenhouse.
When receiving the vaccine, Xiang Chi and Xu Ge were told that there may be a rise in body temperature or heavy sweating after vaccination, but there is no need to worry, it is just a normal reaction.
A sudden disease ended in a dramatic way. Except for those who suffered sequelae after the infection, within a few days, everyone else returned to their normal lives, trying to find jobs they could do according to official announcements, and exchanging labor for food. , to live with hope.
Xu Tao stopped driving to the dredging team because the greenhouse was too busy.
Now that the epidemic has been brought under control, Xiang Chi and Xu Ge still live and eat in the greenhouse. Xu Tao drives Han Dongdong, Xu's father, and Xiang's mother from Biliu Community to the greenhouse every morning to help. At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Then drive them back to the community.
Xiang Chi had previously thought of letting them live directly in the space, which would save the hassle of going back and forth every day.
However, Xu Ge considered that if so many people really lived in the greenhouse, in the eyes of outsiders, the lounge could not accommodate so many people. The rest room in the greenhouse was also limited in area, and had anyone lived in it? The traces are very obvious, and such a big flaw cannot be exposed.
I had no choice but to trouble Xu Tao to make two more trips every day.
In this regard, Xu Tao said, what's the point? Driving is a piece of cake for him, not worth mentioning.
One month soon came. During this period, in addition to cultivating various sprouts, Xiang Chi and the others also cultivated leeks and Chinese cabbage with a growth cycle of only ten days.
After getting vaccinated and Xu Tao and the others came to help, Xu Ge and Xiang Chi felt much more relaxed and no longer had to be as busy as a spinning top every day.
It's not that no one came to help. In order to express their gratitude, the official promised to Xiang Chi that they could recruit two helpers, and the official would pay the daily salary.
There are hundreds of tons of food in Xiangchi's space, even if there are two more people to eat, but considering the goodwill of the officials, they don't refuse.
As a result, the two helpers who came here didn't know how to talk about this or that, and they were always looking for something to steal.
If he doesn't know how to work, Xiang Chi and Xu Ge can teach him, but Xiang Chi can't accept being caught stealing and brazenly shouting that since they are so rich, what's wrong with giving him some food?
There are always some people who stand in the position of the weak, acting like "I am weak and I am justified."
