Chapter 46: A Month Later
Su Beidou's school plan was delayed.
Originally, I was going to invite a tutor to come to the class, but now it is temporarily put on hold because of this accident.
People once fantasized about the scene of viruses and creatures invading the earth, but now the fear has come true, and it has spread, and several people who have been in contact with Zhou Wei have been confirmed to be infected.
There must be panic, but for the time being, there have been no deaths of others, so there is no big mess, and it is well controlled.
No one cares about superconductors anymore, and news about Martian life is flying all over the world, with one media outleting it as the Martian parasite, the name that is most widely circulated, and people call it that.
Direct contact or indirect contact can only cause infection, and there are no examples of airborne transmission for the time being, and animals can also be parasitized, so there is no problem after boiling at high temperatures.
It has been a month since Chen Dafeng surrendered, and during this period, more than 5,000 people have been identified, and the number is still expanding, with parasitic cases appearing all over the world, with the largest number in Hong Kong City, and the number of infections in other places is also soaring wildly.
Ultraviolet lamps and all kinds of disinfectant water have already been sold like crazy in Hong Kong City, and instant noodles and the like have also risen to sky-high prices, and some residents who stay at home all day do not even dare to use tap water.
The once bustling streets quickly became empty, factories closed, schools closed, and only official people armed with weapons to kill stray animals and provide help to residents who did not dare to go out.
After controlling the news, people finally began to believe that even after being infected, they would not necessarily die, after all, Chen Dafeng, who had been stabbed a thousand times, is still alive and well......
Chen Dafeng was a member of the God of War Company before, and the Su family was naturally affected by this.
The elders were worried all day long, even Su Baichuan temporarily suspended the research and development of the nuclear fusion project, and moved the office to his home, and the old man Su was so busy that he couldn't see people all day long, and the more low-key the better.
If it weren't for the fact that people didn't dare to go out, the trouble would probably come, and the reason why that kind of parasite appeared on the earth was announced more than 20 days ago, and no one dared to hide this kind of thing, in order to prevent large-scale expansion, a little sense of worry is a good thing, and it is easier to control.
Su Beidou once thought that he was also infected, because when he woke up when he returned to the earth, something got into his nostrils, but after someone helped him take blood for testing, nothing happened.
It's still the same, lying in bed and pretending to be unable to stand up, relying on acting skills when carrying out rehabilitation training, recently I have been able to get out of bed and walk a few steps with the support of the nurse, people only think that he is still in the development period, and he has a strong ability to adapt to changes in the environment, in addition, his eyes are all staring at the Martian parasite, who has the leisure to care about what happened to him?
Today.
His father, Su Baichuan, rarely put down the work in his hand and came over to sit by his son's bed to help peel fruit.
Su Beidou couldn't find anyone who understood the situation, and at this moment, he had the opportunity to ask sideways: "There is news of large-scale recruitment of volunteers on the Internet, as long as you are terminally ill, or an elderly person with little lifespan, what is going on, is Chen Dafeng right, that thing can really prolong the life of human beings, and can also cure diseases?"
"Where did you know that?" asked Daddy Su.
Seeing his son pointing to the VR headset, he shook his head and said, "It's all shadowless things, but some people believe it, and they are indeed preparing to do experiments and voluntarily join, and it's hard to say whether they can survive." Of course, except for the two guys who were the first to discover, there is no definite news that the Martian parasite must be harmful to us humans, and I heard that some old rich people took the initiative to participate in the experiment, in order to prolong their lives, tens of billions or hundreds of billions of dollars were donated, and they came to Hong Kong City to beg for infection, and they all went crazy. ”
“…… Maybe there is really hope, Chen Dafeng's character you also know, if there is no evidence, he can't do human experiments on himself for no reason, trying to cure his ALS genetic disease, if he is a madman, he can do more excessively, so that more people will be infected. ”
Su Beidou leaned on the bed and said, he hadn't had a chance to contact Chen Dafeng for a while, and naturally he couldn't ask what was going on with the cat.
I didn't mean to excuse Chen Dafeng, if that guy had told the company from the beginning, or told other professional organizations, most likely there would not have been the current panic situation.
The global economy, which had flourished for a while because of superconductors, is now almost on the verge of total collapse, and the consequences would have been even more serious if it had not been for the strong control of the world.
Unlike other similar crises in history, no one has yet given a definite answer to the question of whether a Martian parasite will die if it is infected, on the contrary, some good news has been announced one after another, about the efficacy in the treatment of diseases and the extension of life, from Chen Dafeng's mouth, everyone now knows that there was a mouse on Mars that has been infected for nearly ten years and is still in good health.
This gives some hope to the infected.
It's okay to be worried, but there is hope that everything will be fine, and most of the people who have been quarantined are still normal.
Su Beidou continued to ask: "There are so many institutions that study Martian parasites, is there no way to get rid of them? There is a kind of targeted medicine or something, isn't it researching?"
"It's being studied, but it's not much progress, that thing can disguise as normal cells in the human body, just like cancer at that time, it's not that it can't be killed, just kill them, and the normal cells will also be damaged, and in the end the gains outweigh the losses.
The people in our company have come up with a way, just like dialysis blood, directly use the dialysis machine to draw the blood out of the blood and then kill it, maybe it is not suitable for the atmospheric composition of the earth, the kind of Martian life will become less active when exposed to the body, which gives the opportunity to clear, it should not be a big problem. ”
Father Su didn't want his son to be suspicious, and he just didn't have much to talk about, so he couldn't sit here with big eyes and stare at him, so he said more casually.
Su Beidou asked him again: "As long as you don't divide and reproduce too much and keep a certain number, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?
"It's not something you should care about, Chen Dafeng came up with a method, and it was used in the laboratory, it seems to have some effect.
It's not some intelligent life on Mars, it's just a single-celled organism, and we can always find a way to deal with them, and it may not be long before things pass like this......"
