Chapter 475: Heaven and Earth Are Unkind

Knowing that there is a kettle in the mountain, he prefers to go to Busan.

When human beings fall into despair, they always make wrong choices, which are all instinctual hidden in the genetic sequence. Is it true that human instincts are given by nature, and nature prefers to weed out "redundant" individuals in order to ensure the balance of the ecosystem.

"The outbreak of the virus on the peninsula is a blessing in disguise. After the research on the virus got into trouble, Liang Baoguang did not continue to stay in the clinic and retreat, and was escorted to the Samsung Hospital by the armed forces of the Celestial Empire and the Southern Peninsula to observe the development of the infected people's diseases.

The old men who accompanied him were all president-level experts of Samsung Hospital, and Li Shuoke could only stand in the second row among them, and they actually agreed with this argument in their hearts, but they couldn't accept it emotionally, "Doctor Liang, today, it's too much to say such a thing, right?"

The South Peninsula is a moderately developed country, and its citizens, especially those living in Seoul, are far less physically and nutritionally than poor black people in Africa, and are much more resistant to the virus. The unique geographical and political environment here determines the possibility of a total blockade, with the demilitarized zone to the north (if you don't know, please do your own), and the other three sides are the sea, making it extremely difficult for infected people to leave. The outbreak of the smallpox virus here is indeed a blessing in misfortune for other countries in the surrounding area.

"I'm sorry, just talking about it. Liang Baoguang shrugged his shoulders, he had always said something, he never cared about the so-called atmosphere and occasion, if it weren't for the fact that the research couldn't go on, he wouldn't want to waste time here at all, "For this modified smallpox virus, has Samsung Hospital made progress here?"

"Not yet, if the virus is genetically reversed at a normal pace, the results will not be deciphered in half a year, and after half a year, the virus may have mutated and become unrecognizable. "Viruses are also constantly evolving, especially when they live in people, they are very prone to mutations, for example, the plague has many different variants in different eras, some of which are incurable, but some can be treated.

"The priority is to develop a vaccine, and those who have been infected will either survive permanent immunity on their own, or they will not survive the 20th and die directly, and our 20 days are too precious to ......" The old man who spoke didn't finish his words, but his meaning had already been conveyed, the infected people were a small number of people, and only a quarter of these people would die, rather than delusionally creating a special drug that his predecessor had not made for 5,000 years in 20 days, it was better to hurry up and create a targeted vaccine to let the remaining most people live.

Since the outbreak of the smallpox virus, 60,000 people have been infected and have been accommodated in various hospitals and medical institutions in Seoul. In proportion, 20,000 of these 60,000 people could not withstand the virus on their own, and the old man's words were equivalent to the death sentence of 20,000 people, and they were abandoned from the beginning.

Liang Baoguang couldn't tell what he was feeling, there was anger and self-blame, and he remembered the only four failures since he started medicine, and this time the number is likely to change from four to four digits. Heaven and earth are unkind, taking all things as dogs, standing high in the clouds and looking at it, 20,000 is just a number, but he is standing in the world and standing in a hospital where life and death are intertwined.

Every infected person is a great individual in human beings, some of them are good men who support their families, some are good mothers who care for their children, some are teachers who teach and educate people, and some are doctors who treat diseases and save people...... And then in front of the most terrifying killers in the history of mankind, everything they carry is meaningless, "I didn't give up in my dictionary, let alone 20 days, even if it was only 20 hours, I wouldn't leave so many people behind." ”

"Bastard, what qualifications do you have to say that?" The old man standing next to Li Shuoke rushed up with an angry face, obviously a head shorter, but still grabbed Liang Baoguang's collar and glared at him angrily, "In the ward to your left, there is my granddaughter, who is just 4 years old this year, and my daughter and son-in-law who refused to leave her to go to the quarantine area, so that they were infected with the smallpox virus, your family, your friends, and the women around you, where are they?"

Everyone is a doctor, and they are unwilling to give up on any patient, but the cruelty of reality is that the course of smallpox is too short, and even more powerful research institutions can do very little at this time, and individual doctors are even more powerless to do anything about the current situation. From the discovery of penicillin in 1928 to the mass production of drugs in 1943, it took 15 years for the medical elite to work together, so even if any doctor suddenly discovered a special drug to deal with smallpox, it would be meaningless to the infected people in the Southern Peninsula.

Li Shuoke hurriedly stood up to be a peacemaker, neither side could say that there was anything wrong, but the positions were different and the choices were different, Liang Baoguang could have gone back to the Heavenly Dynasty to hide, and was willing to risk his life to study the virus in the epidemic area to find a solution, no one could blame him, "Baoguang is also reluctant to let those patients go." ”

"The smallpox virus this time is different from what has appeared in history, and you must have discovered that the antigen and antibody cannot bind in the body of patients infected with this modified smallpox virus. "The smallpox vaccine is not very technical, and it stands to reason that it can be easily manufactured, but at this time, no one dares to say that it can provide the vaccine to the people of the Southern Peninsula, because the manufacturer of the virus thought of the vaccine in advance.

Liang Baoguang conducted experiments on infected people in the Celestial Empire embassy, and the combination of traditional vaccinia vaccine and immunoglobulin was very poor, and the vaccine injection not only did not curb the development of the disease, but made the complications break out more ferociously, and almost killed people. The smallpox virus was artificially concocted, and the effect of immunoglobulins was restrained, so much so that the traditional smallpox vaccine became firewood thrown into the fire, which only made the fire burn harder.

Back to the professional issue, everyone is much more sensible, the people present are noble doctors who can sacrifice their lives for the medical cause, otherwise they will not appear on the front line closest to the virus infected people, "The specific principle is not clear, if we can get the original laboratory culture records of this virus, we promise to be able to make a vaccine in time, if we simply rely on cracking, I am afraid that the infected people will become 100,000 or even 150,000, and we will not be able to get a vaccine." ”
