Chapter 160: Excitement
This time things were handled very well.
The time is tight, the treatment is fast, the infection situation of the citizens is finally under control for the first time, and now they only need to find a way to fight this strange disease, and they can save these innocent infected patients.
While they were eating and thinking about where to start researching how to treat these patients, Qiao Maimai's cell phone rang.
She took it out and saw that it was Qi Ming calling.
She knew that Qi Ming must have brought her friends to the hospital for a check-up today, and now that she was calling at this time, she had some bad premonitions in her heart.
"Hey?" said Jo Mai Mai after answering.
Qi Ming was a little emotional: "Teacher Qiao!"
Qiao Maimai sighed in his heart, not knowing what Qi Ming was excited about.
"What's wrong? Why are you so excited?"
Qi Ming gasped several times on the other end of the phone: "Teacher Qiao, is it convenient for you and Doctor Gu to come out now, we seem to have found something very important here." ”
Qiao Maimai frowned: "What is the important thing?"
She and Gu Chuanjiu were supposed to stay for vigil tonight, responsible for observing the situation of all the patients in the quarantine area and comforting those who had just become ill today.
If it wasn't for something very important, she and Gu Chuanjiu would definitely not walk away.
"Well...... The result is ideal, but it may not be a good thing, so don't be angry if I say so. "Qi Ming first gave himself a gold medal for avoiding death.
Qiao Maimai was very puzzled by his betrayal.
The result is very good, but the process is not good? What small actions did Qi Ming do behind his back?
"Say, what did you do? How do you know if I can not be angry?"
Qi Ming was a little scared in his heart, but considering that Qiao Maimai might be very busy now and didn't have time to say too much, in the end, he didn't insist on avoiding the gold medal anymore, and spoke honestly.
"After I took your protective clothing and masks, I went to the place where we had disposed of the animal carcasses, looked for the carcasses of the animals, and took them to the laboratory of our school for study. ”
Qiao Maimai was listening while eating, and when he heard this, a mouthful of rice was directly squirted out, and the spray was all over Gu Chuanjiu's face on the other side.
Gu Chuanjiu's face darkened suddenly.
Qiao Maimai's face was full of embarrassment, but he didn't bother to help Gu Chuanjiu wipe it clean, and scolded excitedly.
"Are you crazy, do you know that those animal carcasses are likely to be the biggest source of infection, and it is very dangerous for you to touch those animals!"
"Quick, listen to the teacher, leave the laboratory immediately, and lock off the laboratory so that no one can enter, we will find someone to come over to dispose of those animal carcasses and disinfect the laboratory, and be careful not to let anyone in during this period. ”
Gu Chuanjiu couldn't hear what Qi Ming said on the other side, but he could tell from Qiao Maimai's words what he probably said, and his emotions became excited.
He knew that Qi Ming was bold and dared to do anything, but he didn't expect that he would be so bold as to touch the source of infection!
"Teacher Qiao, these are not important, the important thing is that I seem to have found antibodies to this strange virus, which was found from one of the dead animal carcasses, and the composition of this protein seems to be able to restrain this virus, as long as they come into contact with it, this virus will lose its vitality, and it will soon disappear completely, as if it has been decomposed. ”
Qi Ming knew that he would be scolded for doing this, of course he wouldn't be scolded like a fool all the time, so he immediately took advantage of Qiao Maimai's criticism to tell him about his major discovery.
He believed that this discovery would definitely make Qiao Maimai and Gu Chuanjiu change their minds about blaming him, and it could also help those who were suffering from the infection now.
Qiao Maimai's face changed suddenly, and he stood up from the stool excitedly.
"Are you telling you true? Can that protein really inactivate that virus?"
Qi Ming gave a very serious sigh of gratitude.
"That's what I'm researching, but my skills and level are limited, so I want to ask you and Dr. Gu to come over and see if I'm wrong, if not, I think you can use this protein to develop a vaccine against this virus. ”
Qiao Maimai was so excited that the smile on his face couldn't be hidden when he looked at Gu Chuanjiu.
"Great, Gu Chuanjiu, Qi Ming said that he seems to have discovered a protein that can restrain that virus, we will go to him now to determine if this is true, if it is true, as long as it is studied through that protein, then this condition can be treated. ”
Gu Chuanjiu immediately nodded, asked Qiao Maimai to ask Qi Ming's specific location now, and rushed to the scene with Qiao Maimai.
Soon the two arrived at the university where Qi Ming attended.
Because the car couldn't drive into the university, Qiao Maimai and Gu Chuanjiu stopped the car at the door and got out of the car and went in.
The doorman of the university saw that two strangers wanted to go in, and immediately came out to stop Gu Chuanjiu and Qiao Maimai.
Gu Chuanjiu and Qiao Maimai immediately took out their work cards and showed them to the doorman, saying that they were doctors, and someone else came here to contact them to help check their condition.
There's no way, if they tell the truth, I'm afraid they will scare this doorman to death, and Qi Ming will be deducted by the school.
After all, it is very inappropriate for Qi Ming to bring something as dangerous as the source of infection to the school to study, whether it will cause danger to others or not.
The doorman didn't look at the sign like it was fake, and considering that there were not many people in the school now, they were all on vacation and went home, so he didn't bother too much, and told Qiao Maimai and Gu Chuanjiu not to run around and let them in.
Qiao Maimai and Gu Chuanjiu went straight to the laboratory, and saw several young boys wearing masks and protective clothing waiting for Qiao Maimai and them at the door from a distance.
"Teacher Qiao, Doctor Gu. Qi Ming was also in the crowd, and when he saw Qiao Maimai and Gu Chuan from a distance, he waved and shouted.
Qiao Maimai and Gu Chuanjiu nodded slightly at Qi Ming, in response to his greeting.
As they walked over, they saw two packs of protective clothing on the ground next to the doorway.
"Teacher Qiao, Doctor Gu, that protective suit is for you, you can quickly put it on and go in with us." Qi Ming said very urgently.
Qiao Maimai and Gu Chuanjiu didn't waste time, they immediately took the sealed bag of the protective suit, opened it, and began to put it on.
Now the protective clothing and suits are very complete, masks, gloves, goggles and the like are all available, and soon Qiao Maimai and Gu Chuanjiu are fully armed, and they directly open the door of the laboratory and walk in.
Qi Ming followed behind and reminded: "You must be careful when you study it later, some bones of that animal's corpse have been broken, and the edges are relatively sharp, don't accidentally be cut, if you are cut, it is very likely to be infected." ”
Gu Chuanjiu said coldly: "Don't worry, we won't touch anything other than samples, and it's impossible to make such a low-level mistake." ”
Soon, Qiao Maimai and Gu Chuanjiu came to Qi Ming's microscope that they used to study bacteria and white blood cells.
can use such a simple equipment to find such critical information, Qi Ming is also a talent.
Because Gu Chuanjiu knew more and his thinking was more thorough, Qiao Maimai asked Gu Chuanjiu to look at the microscope to confirm the situation.
Gu Chuanjiu found that what was now shown on the microscope was indeed not the appearance of the virus, but something that looked like a protein.
He immediately took out a sample of unadded protein from a small dish next to him and put it under the microscope to check it, and he could clearly see the virus.
Then he used tweezers to carefully get some pieces of meat that were noted as containing special protein components, and soon found that the protein components on the meat pieces began to transfer to the original viral components, and did not break and change, slowly encapsulating those virus components.
The viruses that were still active seemed to have lost their vitality and did not move.
After a while, the shape of the virus changed to that of the protein, as if it had been completely absorbed by the protein.
This discovery made Gu Chuanjiu excited, and Qi Ming really relied on his bold comfort to do an unexpected good thing.
Could it be that the way to defeat this virus is really protein extracted from animals? It's that simple?
Soon, Gu Chuanjiu discovered a strange phenomenon.
Originally, there were some other cells in this sample besides the virus, and these cells seemed to have been absorbed by this protein, and it seemed that it could not only engulf these viruses, but also other cells.
This discovery made Gu Chuanjiu's excited mood quickly calm down.
Sure enough, it was not so simple to overcome this strange disease, and he immediately packed the remaining few specimens into the sealed bag he had brought.
Then I went to get some more samples, and they were all packed up and ready to be taken away, so that the people in the research institute could study in detail whether there was a way to solve the problem that this cell would engulf other cells.
Qiao Maimai watched Gu Chuanjiu's movements from the side and did not interfere.
After Gu Chuanjiu finished everything, he asked her to leave with him, and Qiao Maimai followed without intervening in any way.
She knew that the conditions here were not enough to produce a result, and that the discovery would definitely need to be studied somewhere with better equipment.
"You guys go out with me now, don't let anyone in here after you go out, it's very dangerous here!" Gu Chuanjiu told Qi Ming.
Qi Ming immediately made an ok gesture to Gu Chuanjiu and them.
Gu Chuanjiu and Qiao Maimai left quickly.
When leaving, the doorman talked to them, wanting to ask how the people in them were doing with the people who came to them for medical treatment, but Gu Chuanjiu and Qiao Maimai didn't bother to answer him, got in the car and left.
The two drove all the way to the research institute, Gu Chuanjiu called a friend to come out to answer, he needed to borrow their people and professional equipment to study this protein that Qi Ming discovered first.
