The Periodic Table of Words and Spirits at Hogwarts - Chapter 499
three days later
“Recently, a mild disease is widely prevalent in Edenia, and has spread to Mexico, Chile, Japan and the archipelago and other regions. Patients often have symptoms of conventional colds such as fever, vomiting, diarrhea, and may be accompanied by conjunctival congestion. , skin purpura”.
“The medical system on the east coast of Eatonia is close to saturation. Anti-quarantine demonstrations broke out in many places and continued to turn into riots at night. The governors of many states have ordered the National Guard to maintain social order.”
In this spacious but extremely depressing conference room, the two rows of people sitting on both sides of the conference table silently watched the slightly retro TV series and the news that was playing inside.
“It’s just a flu”!
The voices of protesters were heard on the TV, and at the same time, there were obvious cries and the sound of broken glass in the background sound, probably another shop window was smashed.
“Let’s evacuate the embassy, and pack a few planes to evacuate all the overseas Chinese. Fortunately, we don’t have that many citizens in Edenia, so the pressure of evacuation will be much less.”
A middle-aged man in a tunic suit frowned and said.
“Cough cough, we managed to get some tissue samples from infected people, but since those things have just been sent to the biological laboratory of 406, we don’t know much about this pathogen for the time being, so we still don’t know much about this pathogen. We need Mr. Zhang Qi to give us a specific introduction.”
Another middle-aged man who was wearing a white coat outside but a training uniform inside coughed softly, and then the people in tunic suits on the left side of the conference table and people in camouflage uniforms on the right side of the conference table brushed together. He glanced at Zhang Qi who had moved a chair at the end of the long table, and was nibbling on fried dough sticks and steamed buns.
“Well, my intelligence information may be a little behind. Before I introduce what I know, I want to ask this person”…
Zhang Qi looked at the soldier in the white coat and hesitated when he spoke.
“Shenzhou Intelligence Analysis and Judgment Room, Lin Qianjun.”
The man who looked to be in his 40s said very kindly.
“Well, Mr. Lin, what I want to know is what characteristics you have measured”?
Zhang Qi nodded.
“The pathogen is a fungus. It is preliminarily judged that it can carry out sporogenesis and budding, and is extremely sensitive to ultraviolet light. The pathogen polymerization can produce hyphae, which seems to be able to control mammalian nerves. The specific control form needs further research.”
“According to the on-site situation provided by the special forces team, the infected person has lost all human behavior patterns, and his physical fitness is weakened compared with normal humans, but the masseter and lumbrical muscles are obviously hypertrophic and can bite or scratch extremely heavy clothing. “.
“Moreover, according to the dictation of the special forces, the body temperature of the infected person has reached a very alarming level. They saw the infected person in the slums of Brazil in the torrential rain. The surface of the body is steamed, and it is speculated that the body temperature may exceed 50 ℃.” .
Lin Qianjun eloquently dictated the situation report he had come up with after staying up late yesterday, and then took a sip of water from the teacup on the table.
“Did they see something even more strange and disgusting? Like a Roshan made of corpses or something”?
Zhang Qi frowned.
“It is not stated in the action report that the local infection spread is not as bad as imagined.”
“As for the drug susceptibility test, it will take time.”
Lin Qianjun replied solemnly.
“Let me tell you what I’ve seen.”
Zhang Qi also cleared his throat at this time.
“In the more severe stage of infection, infected people may aggregate into huge complexes, searching for all organic matter that can be used for energy to devour, and due to the concentration of organic matter, these complexes usually develop in sewers or slaughter. places that are extremely difficult to search, such as on-site disposal pools.”
“Pathogens are extremely sensitive to metallic mercury. A small amount of mercury salt solution can cause rapid autolysis of this fungus, and high temperature can also kill them quickly.”
“This pathogen is extremely scary, but it’s not the disease that is really scary, but the people behind it.”
Zhang Qi tapped on the table, and then continued:
“In layman’s terms, there is a division of status among infected people, and those high-level infected people have been hidden in this world for nearly a thousand years. They occasionally spread the disease, but due to the imperfect evolution of the disease, they do not There was no success.”
“But now, the evolution of this kind of thing has made me uneasy. The first abomination I encountered would struggle under burning gasoline, but the most recent one was barely ignited.”
“These things seem to be out of the category of biology. After all, if it’s just evolution, no creature in nature has evolved a cuticle with a certain arc to resist bullets.”
When Zhang Qi finished saying this, he took a sip of the water from the teacup, and everyone involved in the meeting fell into a moment of contemplation.
“Cough, cough, it seems that I am a little late.”
At this moment, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open.
Everyone raised their heads and looked at the door together, only to see a young man in a white coat and square glasses walking in slowly with a portfolio, and then gently closed the door.
“Dr. Chu Ci”.
Lin Qianjun gently nodded to the youngest occult doctor in China.
“I brought two good news, which one do you want to hear?”
Chu Ci sat in his place, and then opened the file bag.
“Let’s talk about it, we just heard too much bad news.”
The middle-aged man who spoke first said softly.
“The first good news is that the drug susceptibility test has come out. Several broad-spectrum antifungal drugs are effective against pathogens~www.mtlnovel.com~ Although the effect may be a little worse, it is just a matter of increasing the dose.”
Chu Ci first handed the drug sensitivity test report to Zhang Qi, who took it over and looked at it carefully, then let out a long sigh of relief.
“The second piece of good news.”
Chu Ci’s eyes swept across the faces of everyone participating in the meeting. After confirming that everyone had signed the confidentiality agreement, he said:
“The mysterious side is still useful. This fungus belongs to the mysterious side of the world, so naturally we can use those methods to solve it.”
“Mr. Kel’Thuzad now has a method to eliminate mild infections. We have experimented with mice, cynomolgus monkeys, and pigs, and the results are very good.”
“and”……
When Chu Ci said this, he paused.
“If it is a severe infection, antifungal drugs can be used under the condition of real stable anchors. Although none of the experimental animals survived in the current mammalian experiments, this is just a question of configuration.”
“After conducting a large number of animal experiments, we can find a cure for the disease within a few months.”
