Reborn in 2000 as a scholar
Chapter 138 The last line of defense of mankind
In fact, in addition to the Regulus laboratory this time, the US federal government also secretly sent letters of appeal to other countries through the United Nations.What happened in Antarctica cannot be hidden from those big countries, so the US government does not intend to hide it.After all, this matter is no longer something that the US government can solve independently, and if it is not resolved, it will lead to the extinction of mankind, so the US government thinks that everyone should take responsibility together.Therefore, all countries with a certain status in the medical and biological fields have sent their top scientific researchers.
Now is not the time to hide and hide, because once this defense line in Antarctica collapses, the countdown clock can be hung up for the extinction of human beings.While explaining the importance and danger of the incident to the Regulus laboratory staff, other scientific research institutions also got the same content, so everyone was thinking about whether to accept the next task.
While everyone is thinking, the technicians at the Amundsen-Scott station are also busy modifying your scientific research vehicle or experimental vehicle, because it is not ordinary to use it under the extreme weather conditions of the Antarctic continent. Trouble.For example, the tires of the car have been replaced with crawler tracks; and fixers are also added to prevent the entire vehicle from being blown down or even blown away when the strong wind hits.At the same time, the sealing of the vehicle should be strengthened. On the one hand, it is to worry about virus leakage, and on the other hand, it is to ensure that the staff in it will not be frozen and numb by the severe cold weather.The most important thing is the power system of the car. The vehicles used on the Antarctic continent are basically gasoline-electric hybrids, and gasoline emissions are strictly regulated.The abundant solar and wind energy in the Antarctic continent also allows the vehicle to replenish enough power when driving and stopping, so the hybrid electric vehicle is relatively more environmentally friendly and more suitable for the power system of the Antarctic continent.
"Boy Lin, do you know how dangerous your current behavior is? I now order you to give up this mission immediately and return to the United States immediately. What does this matter have to do with you? You are not a medical or biological Expert?" Just after Lin Jinqi and Long Yuan finished contacting, Xu Yili's encrypted email was sent to Lin Jinqi's private mailbox.
"Now you not only belong to yourself, but also belong to the country! You have to know, what a huge team the country has built around your idea, and if any accident happens to you, the cost of these preliminary preparations will be in vain. More The most important thing is that our national recovery plan around your plan will also be disrupted, and then you will be a sinner of the nation!"
"Old Xu, I don't understand your worry? But I have to do it now." Lin Jinqi replied in the email, "When the European colonists landed on the American continent, the original splendid harvest in America Why did the Inca civilization, a cultural fruit, collapse in an instant? In addition to the terrible artillery fire of the colonists, what is more important is the viruses brought by the colonists. These viruses have already produced antibodies for the colonists and are not enough to form life Dangerous; but for humans in the American continent who have been closed for tens of thousands of years, these viruses are undoubtedly brand new, so they are naturally deadly. This is also the premise that humans in the new world and humans in the old world belong to the same human being will cause such terrible results .
What if it wasn't a virus for our planet?Although this virus has not been named, but I think 'doom virus' may be the most suitable name for it.I believe that the Ministry of Health should have a report on this virus. I suggest you consult a professional, and you will know how dangerous this virus is.
If we can't solve this virus as soon as possible, then the survival of human beings is already a problem, and there is no need to talk about other things.As for my professional level, you don't need to worry about this, whether it is 'super foul-loving bacteria' or 'targeted gene testing and targeted drug therapy' are all completed under my auspices.On the occasion of the life and death of all human beings, I think we should show some spirit of internationalism. "
About ten minutes later, Xu Yili's encrypted email was sent again. "Boy Lin, I compared your opinion with the opinion of the Ministry of Health, and found that your view seems to be more pessimistic than ours. The country is currently planning to build shelters on several closed islands in case something happens. In the worst case, there are still a small number of us who can survive.
But what you said is correct, if our ability can only guarantee the survival of a few people in the end, then our ideas and plans are meaningless no matter how great they are.I reported your matter to the leader, and the leader felt that in this case, your personal judgment should take priority.But I still hope that you can come back safely, which at least means that we humans have passed this hurdle.Because I know that you are about to embark on a journey, I will not take the initiative to contact you in the next few days. "
After reading Xu Yili's email, Lin Jinqi only replied "Thank you".
After logging out from the private mailbox, Lin Jinqi saw a document on the desktop.The content of the document is the information about the doomsday virus collected by Xiao Heizi's database at the Amundsen-Scott Station, as well as several databases including the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.This meteorite with the doomsday virus is suspected to have come from the Kuiper belt. It visited the earth about 50 years ago and was then frozen in the permanent ice of the Antarctic continent.
The Kuiper Belt is a collection of asteroids or dwarf planets, located outside the orbit of Neptune, at the edge of the traditional solar system.Unlike the asteroids in the main asteroid belt of the solar system, which are mostly composed of rocks and metals, although celestial bodies in the Kuiper belt also have metal or rocky cores, they are all covered with thick "ice".
According to long-term observations, the main components of these "ices" are the frozen state of methane, ammonia and water.Therefore, Kuiper belt objects are regarded as the most important life seeding machines in the solar system. For example, important resources such as the early water of the earth and Mars are believed to be left over from the impact of Kuiper belt objects.It is precisely because of this assumption that the astronomical community is becoming more and more interested in Kuiper belt objects. They all believe that organisms and even life should be found on Kuiper belt objects.
However, the Kuiper belt is very far away from the earth, and there are strong gravitational forces of giant planets such as Saturn and Jupiter in the middle, so there should not be many Kuiper belt objects that can finally reach the earth.Coupled with the special composition of Kuiper belt objects, meteorites or meteorites left by Kuiper belt objects are even rarer.Therefore, it is no wonder that the United States attaches so much importance to this meteorite this time, and it can't wait to mine it out.It's just that they didn't expect that this meteorite not only contained the organisms they expected, but also a doomsday virus that might lead to the extinction of human beings.Therefore, curiosity may be the most likely murderer behind the murder of the entire human race.
After 24 hours of full rest and thinking, all the scientific researchers invited by the US government to the Amundsen-Scott Research Station have made their final decisions.No one chooses to leave here, maybe everyone knows that if this line of defense is lost, even if they flee to the ends of the earth, they will not be able to escape the pursuit of death.But at the same time, [-]% of the people chose to stay behind. This number is within the range of everyone's estimates.Not everyone has the courage to face death head-on, and being able to participate in defense on this line of defense is already a very brave act.Because there are more people willing to go to the front line, the United States divided everyone into two teams.Unless the first batch of support teams has been reduced to the point where they must be replenished, the second support team will stay at the base.
Lin Jinqi got the first lottery to start, so he wasn't surprised.And Dr. Johnson, who accompanied Lin Jinqi to the trip, also drew the first batch of departure lists, which actually made Lin Jinqi a little curious.While waiting to set off, Dr. Johnson saw Lin Jinqi's curiosity. He said with a smile: "In fact, many of my colleagues are already ahead. Although their luck is not bad, there are still people who died or were infected. I continue There is no point in staying behind, so I specifically asked to participate in the first batch of teams. But I feel a little relieved that you got the first batch of lists, because I think your luck is good, maybe we will Good luck will take care of you!"
By this time, even the most determined scientist has become a little superstitious.Dr. Johnson's words made everyone in the room who was waiting to leave a happy smile. In the face of death, it is necessary to have good luck.Because of this good luck, everyone started talking.The first batch of people who went to support there were more than [-] people, most of them were scholars from the United States or Canada, a small number came from the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and one was from Japan.Lin Jinqi vaguely remembered that there were scholars from China, presumably they had won the list of the second batch of departure.After everyone chatted for more than ten minutes, someone came in to remind everyone that the transport vehicle was ready and everyone was ready to get on the vehicle.
The clothing required for operations outside the Antarctic continent is definitely not enough for a few down jackets. The clothing here is specially made, adding a lot of new industries and materials.With the possible exception of underpants, the rest of the attire was prepared by the Amundsen-Scott site.Close-fitting underwear is clothes with good sweat-absorbing and breathable functions, which can ensure that the heat of the skin is not easily dissipated, and at the same time prevent sweat from making the clothes sticky.In addition to the close-fitting thermal underwear, there is another set of thermal underwear. This set of thermal underwear has a certain heating effect, which can continuously and stably provide heat without causing the skin to be scalded by low temperature.
Under normal circumstances, a sweater or a slightly thicker jacket in addition to these two sets of underwear is enough to move inside the base, but if you move outside, you need to wear a thicker down jacket.The outer material of this down jacket is wind-proof and water-proof, and the length is generally about above the knee.In addition to the clothes and pants, the mask is also two layers.The inner mask keeps the mouth and facial skin warm and moist, while the outer mask also blocks water and wind.Then there are full-cover glasses that combine the functions of sunglasses and windshields. On the one hand, it ensures that the glasses can see the front clearly in strong winds, and on the other hand, it also prevents snow blindness.
And everyone has at least three pairs of socks, the innermost pair is moisture-absorbing and warm, the middle pair has a certain amount of heating and warmth, and the outermost pair is wind-proof and water-proof.Strictly speaking, the outermost pair of socks is almost the same as a pair of plastic-soled shoes.But such feet have to be stuffed into a pair of snow boots, and the snow boots have to be put on the outside of the trousers.
The bottom of the snow boots is designed to prevent slipping and reduce the pressure of the foot on the snow layer.To put on such a set of clothes, a novice couldn't do it at all, so several old men had to help each other get dressed.Hearing that it was time to start, Lin Jinqi put on windproof gloves on his gloves, then put on and fastened the hood, and finally boarded the transport vehicle with everyone.
The snow transport vehicle is similar to the armored personnel carrier, of course, because it is for civilian use, it does not have such strong defense capabilities.The comfort level in the car is not very good. Although the closed compartment is isolated from the cold and wind from the outside, in order to save precious energy, there is no heating facility in the compartment.Everyone can only rely on their own body temperature to keep themselves warm. Fortunately, there are enough people in the compartment, so the temperature soon hovers around zero degrees. Although it is not very warm, at least it is not particularly cold.
The carbon dioxide breathed out by everyone is discharged to the outside through the exhaust equipment on the roof; then there are several small air inlets to slowly input the fresh air from the outside, and the air is still cold as soon as possible, but not violently.Although the Antarctic continent looks like a flat place, it is indeed the place with the highest average altitude in the world, so the oxygen content in the air is much less than that of the plains.
But to be able to come to Antarctica for scientific research work, everyone's physical fitness is still passable.Not to mention that everyone can maintain a state of dragon spirit and tiger fierceness, but the basic state of action is still no problem.Because it was in the carriage, everyone took off their masks and chatted one after another.Although everyone bravely chooses to face the god of death, there is still fear in their hearts.
If it is in other places, it will take about ten minutes to drive for a five-kilometer journey.But on the windy Antarctic continent, the five-kilometer journey took us almost an hour.Just when everyone in the car had almost nothing to talk about, the driver finally reminded everyone that the temporary base had arrived.Everyone put on their masks and hoods again, and at the same time equipped their radios.The strong winds on the Antarctic continent make it difficult for you to hear what the other party is saying even if you are shouting face to face, so radio equipment has become a very critical means of communication.
At this time, someone instructed on the radio: "All newcomers, please pay attention to the following, this will affect your life safety. The dome facility in front is the quarantine area where we found the virus and the first batch of infected people. If Anyone who is not authorized and subject to strict disinfection is prohibited from entering or leaving. Once found, we will have to isolate you in an isolation area. Not far from the isolation area is the research area and command center; and next to us is the living area. Now please go to the living area to rest for a while, and we will arrange your own work later. Finally, according to the isolation measures, we cannot get too close to this isolation area, and you may need to walk for the rest of the journey. Thank you for your kindness to human beings I hope to hear good news as soon as possible.”
After everyone got off the bus, they lined up in groups of five.At the same time, according to the pre-departure training, everyone buckled each other's laces on the front teammates, and the last teammate was also responsible for pulling a cargo sled.The reason why we choose this way of advancing is to avoid that when the ice layer breaks, everyone still has the opportunity to rescue teammates who fell into the crack.
Of course, if it is found that things are inviolable, then teammates have the right to cut off the connection belt.This is like when climbing Mount Everest, those who can continue have the right to take away the oxygen cylinders of those who can no longer move.This is the law of survival in an extreme world. It may be cruel, but this is reality.Of course, as the location of a temporary base, the ice near here is still very stable, so everyone arrived at the living area very smoothly.
The living area is actually four parts: the rest area, the living area, the dining room, and the washroom. It feels a lot like a Japanese-style capsule apartment hotel.Although there are divisions in the living area, except for a single area reserved for female staff, the rest of the areas are mixed.Lin Jinqi and Dr. Johnson found two beds in Area C, and then matched their own identification cards.There is no need to wear such heavy clothes in the living area, so everyone’s windproof down jacket and snow boots are placed in their respective wardrobes in the departure preparation area.
In the living area, most people only need to put on a thicker sweater in addition to the two thermal underwear; or some people with a cold constitution will add a thin down jacket.At this time, there were not many people in the living area. Except for the people on shift sleeping in their beds in the rest area, there were only a few people on shift looking at their notebooks in the living area.
According to the introduction, there are only a few public computers and public telephones in the living area that can be communicated with the outside world, and the internal wireless network cannot be accessed by the outside world.The use of those computers and phones needs to be reported and monitored at the same time, in order to prevent the information about the doomsday virus from being leaked in advance.After the computers of Lin Jinqi and other supporters had been put on record, a person who looked like a supervisor sent everyone an introduction document of the doomsday virus to everyone's mailbox, which was the working daily of the last week.He said that in the future, everyone will receive the work report of the day before dinner every day, and at the same time, everyone should also develop the habit of submitting their own work reports before the deadline, so that the personnel in charge of logistics support can collect relevant content in time and make daily work reports.
"It's still a secret at this time." After reading the explanatory document provided by the temporary base, Lin Jinqi couldn't help complaining silently in his heart.
However, Lin Jinqi also understands the difficulties of the US government. After all, if Lin Jinqi did not know that the US government has a so-called "finding creator project" through Xiao Heizi, he would also feel that the US government is too petty.But after reading the US government's "Finding the Creator Project", Lin Jinqi admired the American brains a little bit.There are many theories in the academic world about how life on earth was born and how human civilization emerged, and "outsiders" is a relatively mainstream theory, although it is also quite controversial.
To put it simply, "Foreign Talk" believes that life on Earth was not born directly from the Earth, but came through the impact of alien celestial bodies.Because if life completely originated on the earth, then the emergence of life should be a slow and steady process from low-level to high-level, from less to more.But in the Cambrian period 5.42 million years ago, as if everyone had made an appointment, almost all species known to humans appeared.Although higher organisms like mammals have not yet appeared, some higher organisms have appeared, and at the same time, the richness of species has reached a level that scholars cannot understand at all.
Based on the phenomenon of the "Cambrian Explosion of Life", some scholars believe that during this period, there were definitely alien species that supplemented the earth's native species.As for whether this is an accidental phenomenon that occurs naturally, or whether there is a "seeding behavior" of a higher life, it is unknown.In addition, it is about the birth of human beings. Although the current mainstream view is that human beings evolved from ancient ape-man, so far, there is still a lack of archaeological evidence for several key links in the evolutionary process.In addition, it is the ancient civilization stage of human beings. Why are there signs of aliens?Even some ancient civilizations are suspected of using nuclear energy, which is an unexplainable phenomenon.That's why someone put forward a hypothesis, in the process of the emergence and evolution of human civilization, did humans learn anything from aliens?That's why the United States has this "Finding the Creator Project". They hope to find the creator of human civilization.As for what to do after finding it, Lin Jinqi felt that it was self-evident.Could it be that after finding his father, he just acted out the plot of father and son getting to know each other?
After the new personnel rested, the supervisor of the temporary base found everyone to talk.Since the place has been taken over by the military, the supervisor is also a soldier.After his introduction, everyone knew that the current research direction here is to produce effective antibodies.And antibodies are two aspects, one is conventional vaccines, and the other is active antibodies used for injection therapy. "I won't talk about unnecessary nonsense, I just want to tell everyone that people die here every day. Maybe the next one is your partner, so for you and your partner, use all your abilities!" said the supervisor Finished and left.
Virus antibodies are the natural response of organisms in response to virus invasion. Normally, the production of virus antibodies is a race against time.If the living body can carry it into the body to produce antibodies, then the living body wins and the virus is produced; conversely, the virus wins and the living body dies.In modern medicine, in order to ensure that antibodies can be produced, the virus injected into the living body is inactivated to reduce toxicity.This is actually a cheating behavior, allowing the living body to run through the virus 100% and obtain the final antibody.As for whether to use in vivo or in vitro methods to produce vaccines, it is a follow-up issue. The most important issue is how to inactivate and detoxify.
The toxicity of this virus used to produce antibodies is required. It is too low to stimulate lymphocytes to take it seriously, that is, no antibodies appear; if the toxicity is too strong, the living body will die before the lymphocytes are fully mobilized. Then the lymphocytes die with hatred.However, the doomsday virus is a strange thing. Up to now, no suitable inactivation method has been found to ensure that its toxicity is within a safe range.
However, since these studies were done by others, Lin Jinqi did not want to evaluate the difficulty of the incident before Regulus's laboratory completed the relevant tests.In fact, Lin Jinqi has already submitted an application, hoping that the staff of Regulus Laboratory can form a group to use the experimental vehicle donated by Regulus Laboratory, so as to maximize the effect.Although the director of the temporary base approved Lin Jinqi's application, he let the Japanese researcher Yasuo Hatoyama in.The opponent's reasons are also very aboveboard. Yasuo Hatoyama was rejected by most of the teams when he formed a team. I hope that Lin Jinqi will accept him because he is also of Asian descent.
Lin Jinqi chuckled at this, and then chose to keep it.The scientific researchers who can come here certainly have no major problems in ethics and professionalism, but do they have a second identity behind them?Lin Jinqi himself has a second identity, who knows if Yasuo Hatoyama is working for the Japanese intelligence agencies?Is it even possible that the United States has placed a double agent in the Japanese intelligence agency?However, Lin Jinqi was not worried about leaking secrets. As the leader of a scientific research team, he had too many ways to prevent the Japanese from accessing any core secrets.So Lin Jinqi agreed, as a way of repaying the goodwill of the base management.And Yasuo Hatoyama is also very good at being a man. After learning that he was assigned to Lin Jinqi, he immediately ate and lived with everyone.
The temporary base's research on the doomsday virus is not completely without progress, but they have developed an "enzyme".If exposed to a doomsday virus with sufficient activity, the enzyme will change from a very beautiful tender green to a very scary blood red, and at the same time emit a harmless but very pungent smell, and this enzyme will also change from an insulator to a Conductor.Because the sensitivity of this enzyme is very high, the temporary base is now using this enzyme to manufacture alarms and place them in any place that may leak.
Currently there is only one entrance and exit in the closed area, which must undergo repeated disinfection and wear very heavy biochemical suits.For the sake of safety, the newly arrived scientific research equipment has also been classified as a new closed area. Although there is no need to wear particularly strict biochemical suits here, general protective measures still need to be taken.Lin Jinqi led his scientific research team into the closed area to check the infected patients and their bodies. According to the current cases and autopsy reports, their symptoms after infection were very similar to pneumonia, but the severity was far beyond pneumonia.
Speaking of which, before the discovery of sulfa drugs, pneumonia was also one of the biggest health killers in human history.But fortunately, there are not so many transmission routes for pneumonia, otherwise pneumonia can wipe out human beings if it is really bad.After having first-hand contact, Lin Jinqi and others sequenced the genes of the doomsday virus in the experimental vehicle.In terms of gene sequencing, many of the equipment in Regulus' laboratory are already at the black technology level.
So just three days later, the Regulus laboratory produced the gene sequencing map of the doomsday virus.To the surprise of the researchers at the temporary base and the Amundsen-Scott Research Station, although the doomsday virus is definitely a virus from outer space, it is essentially the same as many viruses on earth.The reason why it has caused such great harm to human beings is that the human immune system has never been exposed to it, and even similar antibodies cannot be produced to make do with it; at the same time, the virus is too toxic, and it can be detected in human lymphocytes. The entire GG was destroyed before the corresponding antibody could be produced, so this virus became the "doomsday virus" that everyone has heard of.
"I can't believe that we actually found the companions of our earth creatures on a meteorite from a Kuiper belt object?" A paleontologist couldn't help but exclaim, "This is almost the most direct evidence of 'saying from outside' , I think our biology textbooks may need to be rewritten! This may be the most important archaeological discovery recently, right?"
"Not only will biology textbooks be rewritten, but our human understanding of the entire earth will be subverted!" Someone said.
"Dr. Lin, now that you have completed the genetic sequencing of the virus, have you found a similar virus to this virus? At the same time, have you created a method that can reduce the virus's activity and toxicity while stimulating lymphocytes to produce antibodies?" The person in charge of the base asked the man very nervously.
Counting it, Lin Jinqi's Regulus laboratory is the biggest progress of the base recently.Being able to complete the gene sequencing of the virus is equivalent to completely grasping the identity of the virus. Although knowing yourself and the enemy may not necessarily win the battle 100%, one of the prerequisites for winning the battle is to know yourself and the enemy.
"Do you have any schedule?"
"I'm sorry, Professor Williams, I have just completed the gene sequencing of the doomsday virus, and my understanding of this virus can only be said to have just begun." Lin Jinqi said, "Based on what we know so far , this kind of doomsday virus has the original form of many viruses, or we regard the doomsday virus as the original form of a certain large group or certain types of viruses. Strictly speaking, this kind of virus is not the kind of 'super virus' that we often encounter Virus'.
The super virus was born by accelerating the pace of evolution under the pursuit of us humans.On the contrary, the doomsday virus is relatively degenerate or retro virus. If it is a relatively primitive creature, there may be a better way to deal with them.However, with the evolution of species, the immune systems of modern and contemporary organisms are becoming more and more specialized. Therefore, in the face of this doomsday virus that may cover multiple types of virus styles, the immune systems of modern and contemporary organisms do not know what to do. .For example, our supercomputer has been able to help us crack some electronic encryption locks, but you can't use this tool to deal with ancient copper locks. "
"Dr. Lin, do you mean that because we are too advanced, we have no way to find or cultivate antibodies to this virus?" Professor Williams suddenly became in a bad mood.Although he doesn't fully believe in the conclusions of Lin Jinqi's team, he has to admit that maybe so far, Lin Jinqi's team is the most authoritative team. "Can we just wait to die?"
Professor Williams' words made the scholars who were happy to crack the gene sequence of the doomsday virus depressed. There is nothing so sad as you work hard to the end but find that you are actually powerless.Lin Jinqi can understand everyone's pessimism, but he didn't say that he can't deal with this virus.
Usually, the way to deal with viruses is to kill them with antibodies.In addition to using the human immune system to obtain antibodies through targeted stimulation, antibodies can also be cultivated in vitro.Although in vitro cultivation also involves the immune system of modern species, but who is Lin Jinqi, he is the person who holds a black technology system!
In the plane of black technology, the method of human beings to cultivate antibodies is simply weak.If there is a sudden large-scale outbreak of an unknown virus, according to the human antibody cultivation method, it is inevitable to sacrifice some people's lives.But the plane of black technology is very simple. After they directly use the supercomputer to obtain the gene sequence of the virus, they then simulate the gene sequence of the antibody produced by the immune system, and then cultivate the antibody.It can be said that as long as the virus sample is obtained, the production of antibodies is almost a matter of minutes.In the plane of black technology, this kind of equipment is basically a standard product in small town hospitals.
Of course, the selling price of this kind of equipment in the mall is very high, but Lin Jinqi has other ways to make it.First of all, the system has so-called experience opportunities, and you can get several trial opportunities for a certain price; at the same time, there are so-called DNA replication equipment in the system mall. Although the cost of replicating animals and plants is extremely high, replicating virus antibodies is not too expensive. .The important thing is that even if Lin Jinqi does not use the above methods, he can still use the existing human cloning technology and gene editing technology to produce the immune system of ancient organisms, and then use this immune system to mass-produce antibodies.It's just that the final method will take a long time, and Lin Jinqi is worried that the few survivors will not be able to wait.Besides, in addition to using T lymphocytes, humans still have interferon, a big killer, to deal with viruses.
"Professor Williams, although I said that the current keys may not be able to open the ancient locks, but besides opening the locks, can't we just destroy the locks?" Lin Jinqi said helplessly.
Lin Jinqi found that everyone seemed to have entered into a misunderstanding of thinking, and they all went to the edge of the horns.Yes, getting antibodies is indeed the best solution to a certain virus once and for all.For example, after long-term injection of smallpox vaccine, humans finally made smallpox the first virus to be eliminated in human history.
"Since we have obtained the gene sequence of the doomsday virus, we can completely produce interferon targeting its reverse transcriptase. If we block the proliferation of the doomsday virus in the human body, and the infected cells will survive Periodically, we only need to wait for a certain period of time to recover. Although the cost of interferon is more expensive than that of antibodies, at present, the production of interferon is relatively feasible. Even, I can directly produce it here. "
Only then did Professor Williams realize that he seemed to have been circling in a dead end for too long, forgetting that there was actually another way to go.Reminded by Lin Jinqi, Professor Williams immediately agreed with Lin Jinqi to start producing interferon.When the first batch of interferon was injected into the infection survivors 24 hours later, everyone was surprised to find that the signs of the infected did not deteriorate.
After surviving the so-called "72 hours of death", everyone was finally convinced that this interferon was effective.As time goes by, the originally infected cells gradually die in the body, and the physical condition of the infected person gradually recovers.After the last three weeks of observation, it was finally determined that the infected person had recovered from the clinical symptoms.
To be sure, these recovered infected people were transferred to another isolation area for a three-month isolation observation. If they had no symptoms after three months, they could return to human society.Although facing three months of "house arrest", these infected people have no objection. It is a great fortune to be able to escape from death alive, and other things are not so important.
Lin Jinqi's team quickly organized the event handling process into a paper and submitted it to "Cell", and also provided the corresponding interferon technology to the World Health Organization for free.This made the United States a little embarrassed, because the U.S. government did think about the patent of interferon and wanted to persuade Lin Jinqi's team to agree to share it.As a result, Lin Jinqi transferred it to the World Health Organization in a "selfless" manner, saying that "in the face of the threat of the doomsday virus, I hope that human beings can have their own weapons."
For Lin Jinqi's generosity, the World Health Organization naturally sent a special letter to express its gratitude, and said that any country in the world can produce this interferon free of charge.As soon as the World Health Organization's letter of thanks was made public, the Chinese government immediately issued a document praising Lin Jinqi's actions, arguing that this was the "spirit of internationalism" of a Chinese citizen.By the way, the Chinese government also publicized the merits of artemisinin and artificial insulin, and insinuated the shameless act of a pharmaceutical company in a developed country using Chinese artemisinin technology to apply for patents and collect money.
Seeing the rabbit's malicious sneer, Ying Jiang could only swallow the bitter fruit with tears, and then thanked Lin Jinqi and Regulus' team.According to U.S. government officials, Grove always
Now is not the time to hide and hide, because once this defense line in Antarctica collapses, the countdown clock can be hung up for the extinction of human beings.While explaining the importance and danger of the incident to the Regulus laboratory staff, other scientific research institutions also got the same content, so everyone was thinking about whether to accept the next task.
While everyone is thinking, the technicians at the Amundsen-Scott station are also busy modifying your scientific research vehicle or experimental vehicle, because it is not ordinary to use it under the extreme weather conditions of the Antarctic continent. Trouble.For example, the tires of the car have been replaced with crawler tracks; and fixers are also added to prevent the entire vehicle from being blown down or even blown away when the strong wind hits.At the same time, the sealing of the vehicle should be strengthened. On the one hand, it is to worry about virus leakage, and on the other hand, it is to ensure that the staff in it will not be frozen and numb by the severe cold weather.The most important thing is the power system of the car. The vehicles used on the Antarctic continent are basically gasoline-electric hybrids, and gasoline emissions are strictly regulated.The abundant solar and wind energy in the Antarctic continent also allows the vehicle to replenish enough power when driving and stopping, so the hybrid electric vehicle is relatively more environmentally friendly and more suitable for the power system of the Antarctic continent.
"Boy Lin, do you know how dangerous your current behavior is? I now order you to give up this mission immediately and return to the United States immediately. What does this matter have to do with you? You are not a medical or biological Expert?" Just after Lin Jinqi and Long Yuan finished contacting, Xu Yili's encrypted email was sent to Lin Jinqi's private mailbox.
"Now you not only belong to yourself, but also belong to the country! You have to know, what a huge team the country has built around your idea, and if any accident happens to you, the cost of these preliminary preparations will be in vain. More The most important thing is that our national recovery plan around your plan will also be disrupted, and then you will be a sinner of the nation!"
"Old Xu, I don't understand your worry? But I have to do it now." Lin Jinqi replied in the email, "When the European colonists landed on the American continent, the original splendid harvest in America Why did the Inca civilization, a cultural fruit, collapse in an instant? In addition to the terrible artillery fire of the colonists, what is more important is the viruses brought by the colonists. These viruses have already produced antibodies for the colonists and are not enough to form life Dangerous; but for humans in the American continent who have been closed for tens of thousands of years, these viruses are undoubtedly brand new, so they are naturally deadly. This is also the premise that humans in the new world and humans in the old world belong to the same human being will cause such terrible results .
What if it wasn't a virus for our planet?Although this virus has not been named, but I think 'doom virus' may be the most suitable name for it.I believe that the Ministry of Health should have a report on this virus. I suggest you consult a professional, and you will know how dangerous this virus is.
If we can't solve this virus as soon as possible, then the survival of human beings is already a problem, and there is no need to talk about other things.As for my professional level, you don't need to worry about this, whether it is 'super foul-loving bacteria' or 'targeted gene testing and targeted drug therapy' are all completed under my auspices.On the occasion of the life and death of all human beings, I think we should show some spirit of internationalism. "
About ten minutes later, Xu Yili's encrypted email was sent again. "Boy Lin, I compared your opinion with the opinion of the Ministry of Health, and found that your view seems to be more pessimistic than ours. The country is currently planning to build shelters on several closed islands in case something happens. In the worst case, there are still a small number of us who can survive.
But what you said is correct, if our ability can only guarantee the survival of a few people in the end, then our ideas and plans are meaningless no matter how great they are.I reported your matter to the leader, and the leader felt that in this case, your personal judgment should take priority.But I still hope that you can come back safely, which at least means that we humans have passed this hurdle.Because I know that you are about to embark on a journey, I will not take the initiative to contact you in the next few days. "
After reading Xu Yili's email, Lin Jinqi only replied "Thank you".
After logging out from the private mailbox, Lin Jinqi saw a document on the desktop.The content of the document is the information about the doomsday virus collected by Xiao Heizi's database at the Amundsen-Scott Station, as well as several databases including the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.This meteorite with the doomsday virus is suspected to have come from the Kuiper belt. It visited the earth about 50 years ago and was then frozen in the permanent ice of the Antarctic continent.
The Kuiper Belt is a collection of asteroids or dwarf planets, located outside the orbit of Neptune, at the edge of the traditional solar system.Unlike the asteroids in the main asteroid belt of the solar system, which are mostly composed of rocks and metals, although celestial bodies in the Kuiper belt also have metal or rocky cores, they are all covered with thick "ice".
According to long-term observations, the main components of these "ices" are the frozen state of methane, ammonia and water.Therefore, Kuiper belt objects are regarded as the most important life seeding machines in the solar system. For example, important resources such as the early water of the earth and Mars are believed to be left over from the impact of Kuiper belt objects.It is precisely because of this assumption that the astronomical community is becoming more and more interested in Kuiper belt objects. They all believe that organisms and even life should be found on Kuiper belt objects.
However, the Kuiper belt is very far away from the earth, and there are strong gravitational forces of giant planets such as Saturn and Jupiter in the middle, so there should not be many Kuiper belt objects that can finally reach the earth.Coupled with the special composition of Kuiper belt objects, meteorites or meteorites left by Kuiper belt objects are even rarer.Therefore, it is no wonder that the United States attaches so much importance to this meteorite this time, and it can't wait to mine it out.It's just that they didn't expect that this meteorite not only contained the organisms they expected, but also a doomsday virus that might lead to the extinction of human beings.Therefore, curiosity may be the most likely murderer behind the murder of the entire human race.
After 24 hours of full rest and thinking, all the scientific researchers invited by the US government to the Amundsen-Scott Research Station have made their final decisions.No one chooses to leave here, maybe everyone knows that if this line of defense is lost, even if they flee to the ends of the earth, they will not be able to escape the pursuit of death.But at the same time, [-]% of the people chose to stay behind. This number is within the range of everyone's estimates.Not everyone has the courage to face death head-on, and being able to participate in defense on this line of defense is already a very brave act.Because there are more people willing to go to the front line, the United States divided everyone into two teams.Unless the first batch of support teams has been reduced to the point where they must be replenished, the second support team will stay at the base.
Lin Jinqi got the first lottery to start, so he wasn't surprised.And Dr. Johnson, who accompanied Lin Jinqi to the trip, also drew the first batch of departure lists, which actually made Lin Jinqi a little curious.While waiting to set off, Dr. Johnson saw Lin Jinqi's curiosity. He said with a smile: "In fact, many of my colleagues are already ahead. Although their luck is not bad, there are still people who died or were infected. I continue There is no point in staying behind, so I specifically asked to participate in the first batch of teams. But I feel a little relieved that you got the first batch of lists, because I think your luck is good, maybe we will Good luck will take care of you!"
By this time, even the most determined scientist has become a little superstitious.Dr. Johnson's words made everyone in the room who was waiting to leave a happy smile. In the face of death, it is necessary to have good luck.Because of this good luck, everyone started talking.The first batch of people who went to support there were more than [-] people, most of them were scholars from the United States or Canada, a small number came from the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and one was from Japan.Lin Jinqi vaguely remembered that there were scholars from China, presumably they had won the list of the second batch of departure.After everyone chatted for more than ten minutes, someone came in to remind everyone that the transport vehicle was ready and everyone was ready to get on the vehicle.
The clothing required for operations outside the Antarctic continent is definitely not enough for a few down jackets. The clothing here is specially made, adding a lot of new industries and materials.With the possible exception of underpants, the rest of the attire was prepared by the Amundsen-Scott site.Close-fitting underwear is clothes with good sweat-absorbing and breathable functions, which can ensure that the heat of the skin is not easily dissipated, and at the same time prevent sweat from making the clothes sticky.In addition to the close-fitting thermal underwear, there is another set of thermal underwear. This set of thermal underwear has a certain heating effect, which can continuously and stably provide heat without causing the skin to be scalded by low temperature.
Under normal circumstances, a sweater or a slightly thicker jacket in addition to these two sets of underwear is enough to move inside the base, but if you move outside, you need to wear a thicker down jacket.The outer material of this down jacket is wind-proof and water-proof, and the length is generally about above the knee.In addition to the clothes and pants, the mask is also two layers.The inner mask keeps the mouth and facial skin warm and moist, while the outer mask also blocks water and wind.Then there are full-cover glasses that combine the functions of sunglasses and windshields. On the one hand, it ensures that the glasses can see the front clearly in strong winds, and on the other hand, it also prevents snow blindness.
And everyone has at least three pairs of socks, the innermost pair is moisture-absorbing and warm, the middle pair has a certain amount of heating and warmth, and the outermost pair is wind-proof and water-proof.Strictly speaking, the outermost pair of socks is almost the same as a pair of plastic-soled shoes.But such feet have to be stuffed into a pair of snow boots, and the snow boots have to be put on the outside of the trousers.
The bottom of the snow boots is designed to prevent slipping and reduce the pressure of the foot on the snow layer.To put on such a set of clothes, a novice couldn't do it at all, so several old men had to help each other get dressed.Hearing that it was time to start, Lin Jinqi put on windproof gloves on his gloves, then put on and fastened the hood, and finally boarded the transport vehicle with everyone.
The snow transport vehicle is similar to the armored personnel carrier, of course, because it is for civilian use, it does not have such strong defense capabilities.The comfort level in the car is not very good. Although the closed compartment is isolated from the cold and wind from the outside, in order to save precious energy, there is no heating facility in the compartment.Everyone can only rely on their own body temperature to keep themselves warm. Fortunately, there are enough people in the compartment, so the temperature soon hovers around zero degrees. Although it is not very warm, at least it is not particularly cold.
The carbon dioxide breathed out by everyone is discharged to the outside through the exhaust equipment on the roof; then there are several small air inlets to slowly input the fresh air from the outside, and the air is still cold as soon as possible, but not violently.Although the Antarctic continent looks like a flat place, it is indeed the place with the highest average altitude in the world, so the oxygen content in the air is much less than that of the plains.
But to be able to come to Antarctica for scientific research work, everyone's physical fitness is still passable.Not to mention that everyone can maintain a state of dragon spirit and tiger fierceness, but the basic state of action is still no problem.Because it was in the carriage, everyone took off their masks and chatted one after another.Although everyone bravely chooses to face the god of death, there is still fear in their hearts.
If it is in other places, it will take about ten minutes to drive for a five-kilometer journey.But on the windy Antarctic continent, the five-kilometer journey took us almost an hour.Just when everyone in the car had almost nothing to talk about, the driver finally reminded everyone that the temporary base had arrived.Everyone put on their masks and hoods again, and at the same time equipped their radios.The strong winds on the Antarctic continent make it difficult for you to hear what the other party is saying even if you are shouting face to face, so radio equipment has become a very critical means of communication.
At this time, someone instructed on the radio: "All newcomers, please pay attention to the following, this will affect your life safety. The dome facility in front is the quarantine area where we found the virus and the first batch of infected people. If Anyone who is not authorized and subject to strict disinfection is prohibited from entering or leaving. Once found, we will have to isolate you in an isolation area. Not far from the isolation area is the research area and command center; and next to us is the living area. Now please go to the living area to rest for a while, and we will arrange your own work later. Finally, according to the isolation measures, we cannot get too close to this isolation area, and you may need to walk for the rest of the journey. Thank you for your kindness to human beings I hope to hear good news as soon as possible.”
After everyone got off the bus, they lined up in groups of five.At the same time, according to the pre-departure training, everyone buckled each other's laces on the front teammates, and the last teammate was also responsible for pulling a cargo sled.The reason why we choose this way of advancing is to avoid that when the ice layer breaks, everyone still has the opportunity to rescue teammates who fell into the crack.
Of course, if it is found that things are inviolable, then teammates have the right to cut off the connection belt.This is like when climbing Mount Everest, those who can continue have the right to take away the oxygen cylinders of those who can no longer move.This is the law of survival in an extreme world. It may be cruel, but this is reality.Of course, as the location of a temporary base, the ice near here is still very stable, so everyone arrived at the living area very smoothly.
The living area is actually four parts: the rest area, the living area, the dining room, and the washroom. It feels a lot like a Japanese-style capsule apartment hotel.Although there are divisions in the living area, except for a single area reserved for female staff, the rest of the areas are mixed.Lin Jinqi and Dr. Johnson found two beds in Area C, and then matched their own identification cards.There is no need to wear such heavy clothes in the living area, so everyone’s windproof down jacket and snow boots are placed in their respective wardrobes in the departure preparation area.
In the living area, most people only need to put on a thicker sweater in addition to the two thermal underwear; or some people with a cold constitution will add a thin down jacket.At this time, there were not many people in the living area. Except for the people on shift sleeping in their beds in the rest area, there were only a few people on shift looking at their notebooks in the living area.
According to the introduction, there are only a few public computers and public telephones in the living area that can be communicated with the outside world, and the internal wireless network cannot be accessed by the outside world.The use of those computers and phones needs to be reported and monitored at the same time, in order to prevent the information about the doomsday virus from being leaked in advance.After the computers of Lin Jinqi and other supporters had been put on record, a person who looked like a supervisor sent everyone an introduction document of the doomsday virus to everyone's mailbox, which was the working daily of the last week.He said that in the future, everyone will receive the work report of the day before dinner every day, and at the same time, everyone should also develop the habit of submitting their own work reports before the deadline, so that the personnel in charge of logistics support can collect relevant content in time and make daily work reports.
"It's still a secret at this time." After reading the explanatory document provided by the temporary base, Lin Jinqi couldn't help complaining silently in his heart.
However, Lin Jinqi also understands the difficulties of the US government. After all, if Lin Jinqi did not know that the US government has a so-called "finding creator project" through Xiao Heizi, he would also feel that the US government is too petty.But after reading the US government's "Finding the Creator Project", Lin Jinqi admired the American brains a little bit.There are many theories in the academic world about how life on earth was born and how human civilization emerged, and "outsiders" is a relatively mainstream theory, although it is also quite controversial.
To put it simply, "Foreign Talk" believes that life on Earth was not born directly from the Earth, but came through the impact of alien celestial bodies.Because if life completely originated on the earth, then the emergence of life should be a slow and steady process from low-level to high-level, from less to more.But in the Cambrian period 5.42 million years ago, as if everyone had made an appointment, almost all species known to humans appeared.Although higher organisms like mammals have not yet appeared, some higher organisms have appeared, and at the same time, the richness of species has reached a level that scholars cannot understand at all.
Based on the phenomenon of the "Cambrian Explosion of Life", some scholars believe that during this period, there were definitely alien species that supplemented the earth's native species.As for whether this is an accidental phenomenon that occurs naturally, or whether there is a "seeding behavior" of a higher life, it is unknown.In addition, it is about the birth of human beings. Although the current mainstream view is that human beings evolved from ancient ape-man, so far, there is still a lack of archaeological evidence for several key links in the evolutionary process.In addition, it is the ancient civilization stage of human beings. Why are there signs of aliens?Even some ancient civilizations are suspected of using nuclear energy, which is an unexplainable phenomenon.That's why someone put forward a hypothesis, in the process of the emergence and evolution of human civilization, did humans learn anything from aliens?That's why the United States has this "Finding the Creator Project". They hope to find the creator of human civilization.As for what to do after finding it, Lin Jinqi felt that it was self-evident.Could it be that after finding his father, he just acted out the plot of father and son getting to know each other?
After the new personnel rested, the supervisor of the temporary base found everyone to talk.Since the place has been taken over by the military, the supervisor is also a soldier.After his introduction, everyone knew that the current research direction here is to produce effective antibodies.And antibodies are two aspects, one is conventional vaccines, and the other is active antibodies used for injection therapy. "I won't talk about unnecessary nonsense, I just want to tell everyone that people die here every day. Maybe the next one is your partner, so for you and your partner, use all your abilities!" said the supervisor Finished and left.
Virus antibodies are the natural response of organisms in response to virus invasion. Normally, the production of virus antibodies is a race against time.If the living body can carry it into the body to produce antibodies, then the living body wins and the virus is produced; conversely, the virus wins and the living body dies.In modern medicine, in order to ensure that antibodies can be produced, the virus injected into the living body is inactivated to reduce toxicity.This is actually a cheating behavior, allowing the living body to run through the virus 100% and obtain the final antibody.As for whether to use in vivo or in vitro methods to produce vaccines, it is a follow-up issue. The most important issue is how to inactivate and detoxify.
The toxicity of this virus used to produce antibodies is required. It is too low to stimulate lymphocytes to take it seriously, that is, no antibodies appear; if the toxicity is too strong, the living body will die before the lymphocytes are fully mobilized. Then the lymphocytes die with hatred.However, the doomsday virus is a strange thing. Up to now, no suitable inactivation method has been found to ensure that its toxicity is within a safe range.
However, since these studies were done by others, Lin Jinqi did not want to evaluate the difficulty of the incident before Regulus's laboratory completed the relevant tests.In fact, Lin Jinqi has already submitted an application, hoping that the staff of Regulus Laboratory can form a group to use the experimental vehicle donated by Regulus Laboratory, so as to maximize the effect.Although the director of the temporary base approved Lin Jinqi's application, he let the Japanese researcher Yasuo Hatoyama in.The opponent's reasons are also very aboveboard. Yasuo Hatoyama was rejected by most of the teams when he formed a team. I hope that Lin Jinqi will accept him because he is also of Asian descent.
Lin Jinqi chuckled at this, and then chose to keep it.The scientific researchers who can come here certainly have no major problems in ethics and professionalism, but do they have a second identity behind them?Lin Jinqi himself has a second identity, who knows if Yasuo Hatoyama is working for the Japanese intelligence agencies?Is it even possible that the United States has placed a double agent in the Japanese intelligence agency?However, Lin Jinqi was not worried about leaking secrets. As the leader of a scientific research team, he had too many ways to prevent the Japanese from accessing any core secrets.So Lin Jinqi agreed, as a way of repaying the goodwill of the base management.And Yasuo Hatoyama is also very good at being a man. After learning that he was assigned to Lin Jinqi, he immediately ate and lived with everyone.
The temporary base's research on the doomsday virus is not completely without progress, but they have developed an "enzyme".If exposed to a doomsday virus with sufficient activity, the enzyme will change from a very beautiful tender green to a very scary blood red, and at the same time emit a harmless but very pungent smell, and this enzyme will also change from an insulator to a Conductor.Because the sensitivity of this enzyme is very high, the temporary base is now using this enzyme to manufacture alarms and place them in any place that may leak.
Currently there is only one entrance and exit in the closed area, which must undergo repeated disinfection and wear very heavy biochemical suits.For the sake of safety, the newly arrived scientific research equipment has also been classified as a new closed area. Although there is no need to wear particularly strict biochemical suits here, general protective measures still need to be taken.Lin Jinqi led his scientific research team into the closed area to check the infected patients and their bodies. According to the current cases and autopsy reports, their symptoms after infection were very similar to pneumonia, but the severity was far beyond pneumonia.
Speaking of which, before the discovery of sulfa drugs, pneumonia was also one of the biggest health killers in human history.But fortunately, there are not so many transmission routes for pneumonia, otherwise pneumonia can wipe out human beings if it is really bad.After having first-hand contact, Lin Jinqi and others sequenced the genes of the doomsday virus in the experimental vehicle.In terms of gene sequencing, many of the equipment in Regulus' laboratory are already at the black technology level.
So just three days later, the Regulus laboratory produced the gene sequencing map of the doomsday virus.To the surprise of the researchers at the temporary base and the Amundsen-Scott Research Station, although the doomsday virus is definitely a virus from outer space, it is essentially the same as many viruses on earth.The reason why it has caused such great harm to human beings is that the human immune system has never been exposed to it, and even similar antibodies cannot be produced to make do with it; at the same time, the virus is too toxic, and it can be detected in human lymphocytes. The entire GG was destroyed before the corresponding antibody could be produced, so this virus became the "doomsday virus" that everyone has heard of.
"I can't believe that we actually found the companions of our earth creatures on a meteorite from a Kuiper belt object?" A paleontologist couldn't help but exclaim, "This is almost the most direct evidence of 'saying from outside' , I think our biology textbooks may need to be rewritten! This may be the most important archaeological discovery recently, right?"
"Not only will biology textbooks be rewritten, but our human understanding of the entire earth will be subverted!" Someone said.
"Dr. Lin, now that you have completed the genetic sequencing of the virus, have you found a similar virus to this virus? At the same time, have you created a method that can reduce the virus's activity and toxicity while stimulating lymphocytes to produce antibodies?" The person in charge of the base asked the man very nervously.
Counting it, Lin Jinqi's Regulus laboratory is the biggest progress of the base recently.Being able to complete the gene sequencing of the virus is equivalent to completely grasping the identity of the virus. Although knowing yourself and the enemy may not necessarily win the battle 100%, one of the prerequisites for winning the battle is to know yourself and the enemy.
"Do you have any schedule?"
"I'm sorry, Professor Williams, I have just completed the gene sequencing of the doomsday virus, and my understanding of this virus can only be said to have just begun." Lin Jinqi said, "Based on what we know so far , this kind of doomsday virus has the original form of many viruses, or we regard the doomsday virus as the original form of a certain large group or certain types of viruses. Strictly speaking, this kind of virus is not the kind of 'super virus' that we often encounter Virus'.
The super virus was born by accelerating the pace of evolution under the pursuit of us humans.On the contrary, the doomsday virus is relatively degenerate or retro virus. If it is a relatively primitive creature, there may be a better way to deal with them.However, with the evolution of species, the immune systems of modern and contemporary organisms are becoming more and more specialized. Therefore, in the face of this doomsday virus that may cover multiple types of virus styles, the immune systems of modern and contemporary organisms do not know what to do. .For example, our supercomputer has been able to help us crack some electronic encryption locks, but you can't use this tool to deal with ancient copper locks. "
"Dr. Lin, do you mean that because we are too advanced, we have no way to find or cultivate antibodies to this virus?" Professor Williams suddenly became in a bad mood.Although he doesn't fully believe in the conclusions of Lin Jinqi's team, he has to admit that maybe so far, Lin Jinqi's team is the most authoritative team. "Can we just wait to die?"
Professor Williams' words made the scholars who were happy to crack the gene sequence of the doomsday virus depressed. There is nothing so sad as you work hard to the end but find that you are actually powerless.Lin Jinqi can understand everyone's pessimism, but he didn't say that he can't deal with this virus.
Usually, the way to deal with viruses is to kill them with antibodies.In addition to using the human immune system to obtain antibodies through targeted stimulation, antibodies can also be cultivated in vitro.Although in vitro cultivation also involves the immune system of modern species, but who is Lin Jinqi, he is the person who holds a black technology system!
In the plane of black technology, the method of human beings to cultivate antibodies is simply weak.If there is a sudden large-scale outbreak of an unknown virus, according to the human antibody cultivation method, it is inevitable to sacrifice some people's lives.But the plane of black technology is very simple. After they directly use the supercomputer to obtain the gene sequence of the virus, they then simulate the gene sequence of the antibody produced by the immune system, and then cultivate the antibody.It can be said that as long as the virus sample is obtained, the production of antibodies is almost a matter of minutes.In the plane of black technology, this kind of equipment is basically a standard product in small town hospitals.
Of course, the selling price of this kind of equipment in the mall is very high, but Lin Jinqi has other ways to make it.First of all, the system has so-called experience opportunities, and you can get several trial opportunities for a certain price; at the same time, there are so-called DNA replication equipment in the system mall. Although the cost of replicating animals and plants is extremely high, replicating virus antibodies is not too expensive. .The important thing is that even if Lin Jinqi does not use the above methods, he can still use the existing human cloning technology and gene editing technology to produce the immune system of ancient organisms, and then use this immune system to mass-produce antibodies.It's just that the final method will take a long time, and Lin Jinqi is worried that the few survivors will not be able to wait.Besides, in addition to using T lymphocytes, humans still have interferon, a big killer, to deal with viruses.
"Professor Williams, although I said that the current keys may not be able to open the ancient locks, but besides opening the locks, can't we just destroy the locks?" Lin Jinqi said helplessly.
Lin Jinqi found that everyone seemed to have entered into a misunderstanding of thinking, and they all went to the edge of the horns.Yes, getting antibodies is indeed the best solution to a certain virus once and for all.For example, after long-term injection of smallpox vaccine, humans finally made smallpox the first virus to be eliminated in human history.
"Since we have obtained the gene sequence of the doomsday virus, we can completely produce interferon targeting its reverse transcriptase. If we block the proliferation of the doomsday virus in the human body, and the infected cells will survive Periodically, we only need to wait for a certain period of time to recover. Although the cost of interferon is more expensive than that of antibodies, at present, the production of interferon is relatively feasible. Even, I can directly produce it here. "
Only then did Professor Williams realize that he seemed to have been circling in a dead end for too long, forgetting that there was actually another way to go.Reminded by Lin Jinqi, Professor Williams immediately agreed with Lin Jinqi to start producing interferon.When the first batch of interferon was injected into the infection survivors 24 hours later, everyone was surprised to find that the signs of the infected did not deteriorate.
After surviving the so-called "72 hours of death", everyone was finally convinced that this interferon was effective.As time goes by, the originally infected cells gradually die in the body, and the physical condition of the infected person gradually recovers.After the last three weeks of observation, it was finally determined that the infected person had recovered from the clinical symptoms.
To be sure, these recovered infected people were transferred to another isolation area for a three-month isolation observation. If they had no symptoms after three months, they could return to human society.Although facing three months of "house arrest", these infected people have no objection. It is a great fortune to be able to escape from death alive, and other things are not so important.
Lin Jinqi's team quickly organized the event handling process into a paper and submitted it to "Cell", and also provided the corresponding interferon technology to the World Health Organization for free.This made the United States a little embarrassed, because the U.S. government did think about the patent of interferon and wanted to persuade Lin Jinqi's team to agree to share it.As a result, Lin Jinqi transferred it to the World Health Organization in a "selfless" manner, saying that "in the face of the threat of the doomsday virus, I hope that human beings can have their own weapons."
For Lin Jinqi's generosity, the World Health Organization naturally sent a special letter to express its gratitude, and said that any country in the world can produce this interferon free of charge.As soon as the World Health Organization's letter of thanks was made public, the Chinese government immediately issued a document praising Lin Jinqi's actions, arguing that this was the "spirit of internationalism" of a Chinese citizen.By the way, the Chinese government also publicized the merits of artemisinin and artificial insulin, and insinuated the shameless act of a pharmaceutical company in a developed country using Chinese artemisinin technology to apply for patents and collect money.
Seeing the rabbit's malicious sneer, Ying Jiang could only swallow the bitter fruit with tears, and then thanked Lin Jinqi and Regulus' team.According to U.S. government officials, Grove always
