Chapter 92: Testing
In a transparent culture chamber in the laboratory of the epidemic prevention center.
Several robotic arms with different instruments at the front are working around the echinodermal balls held in place by dozens of silver metal columns inside.
Sectioning, analysis, and data are obtained, and then matched with the rest of the drug data in the database one by one, and a certain result is obtained, and then it is returned to act on the original echinodermal fleshball tissue.
Dozens of researchers shuttle through the lab, manipulating instruments and monitoring data changes, anticipating the moment of success.
Although the government of Thousand Sails City has confirmed several times with the Ouroboros organization that the people in the low-level communities are not infected because of some unknown epidemic that suddenly broke out in Thousand Sails City, it is undeniable that the bodies of the infected people are indeed affected by some special substance that will cause ordinary people to undergo abnormalities.
This is not much different from the situation caused by the spread of the virus.
Not to mention, with the emergence of contaminated areas, the original argument that flesh transmission is the only way has been completely overturned.
As long as they are within the contaminated area, almost no one can resist the invasion of the human body by the source of infection, and the fact that no survivors have been found in the polluted area of Community 37 is the best proof of this!
Who can guarantee that the same polluted area will not appear in other neighborhoods in the lower city in the future?
In addition, the news of human experiments on Ouroboros has been known, what if in the future they develop an infectious virus that can be transmitted in a more direct way?
A way to contain or prevent this terrible situation had to be found, and that was now the primary goal of the Thousand Sails City government.
And this task naturally fell on the head of the epidemic prevention center.
The mission given by the Thousand Sails City government was quite brief, and they asked the epidemic prevention department to do everything possible to find a way to counteract the source of infection, preferably to make a preventive injection as if it were for certain diseases, so that the people could resist the virus in advance.
However, it is easy to say, but it is not known how many resources it will cost to do.
The epidemic prevention center is now almost fully staffed, and even seek help from life and medical care to jointly tackle key problems.
In order to solve this problem as soon as possible, it is obviously not enough to rely on simple theory and small-scale experiments in the laboratory, they need more intuitive experimental data.
Therefore, in addition to the function of serving as a front-line command post, the community hospital in Community No. 35 also undertook part of the experimental function under the tasks assigned by the Qianfan City government and the urgent needs of the epidemic prevention station.
It's just that the community hospital is just a low-level community building in the end, not to mention cutting-edge experimental equipment, and even the network signal has been cut off due to the loss of Heaven's permissions, and most experiments are impossible to achieve in such a situation.
So Director Ge Lang personally gave the order.
The community hospital is required to put aside all the cumbersome experimental projects and only conduct one experiment.
Infected Clinically Tested!
This decision can be said to take advantage of the only advantage of the community hospital compared to the epidemic prevention center and the two laboratories of the Life Medical Group.
It's on the front lines of the scavenger program!
To put it simply, most of the data analysis and the production of special drugs are handled by the epidemic prevention institute and the life medical group, and the temporary laboratory in the community hospital has to make use of their results, as long as the infected body is caught, it can be put into the experiment immediately, get the corresponding data and then give feedback as soon as possible.
This division of labor and cooperation saved the transportation and handling of infected objects, greatly improved efficiency, and was quickly approved by the high-level government of Thousand Sails City.
As a result, the third floor of the community hospital was completely transformed into an experimental area.
No one is allowed to enter, except for researchers from the epidemic prevention center and soldiers sent by the security department.
......
Due to the lack of power supply, only three temporary wall lamps were installed in the entire corridor, and the white lights mixed with the red and blue warning lights reflected outside the window were mixed into a strange scene against the background of the darkness.
At some point, a figure appeared at the staircase at the end of the corridor.
Wearing a psychic protector, Lawrence put his hands in his pockets and walked slowly into the corridor.
Passing by a ward, he stopped and looked through the glass on the door to observe the situation inside.
The room that was originally used to house the sick had now become a cage for monsters, with strangely shaped infected bodies bound in several thick iron chains, and several researchers in protective suits holding smart tablets watched a soldier with a gun shoot the monster in the cage.
After the trigger was pulled, it was not the sound of gunfire, nor the muzzle of the gun was not a bullet, but a slender syringe about a finger long, which naturally contained a prepared medicine.
In just a few seconds, the infected inside the cage began to struggle frantically, constantly trying to pound the iron cage, but it was just useless.
The combat effectiveness of the infected is also hierarchical, and the strength of the infected who can be captured alive here as an experimental subject is naturally the weakest.
After a few minutes, the infected body fell silent again, and the limbs of the body still took on a terrifying posture, without any change, and several researchers looked at each other and shook their heads.
Clearly, this is yet another failed attempt.
Lawrence, who was outside the door, withdrew his gaze, his face not disappointed, turned and continued to walk to the other side of the corridor, stopping until the door of the doctor's office on the third floor.
"Mr. Lawrence!"
Two gunmen saluted with their chests held up.
"Well, hard work. ”
He casually answered and raised his hand to open the door.
The smell of disinfectant water came to his face, and Lawrence, who had long been accustomed to this smell, stepped in without changing his face.
Some of the utensils that had been in the room had been cleared and replaced with small refrigerated warehouses and potion dispensing units, which did not require complicated installation steps and were ready to use, while a few researchers were busy on the sidelines.
"How's the experiment going?"
Glancing at the discarded sealed test tubes in the trash, Lawrence asked.
"There is no room for optimism, the nature of this virus is extremely special, and the experience accumulated by the epidemic prevention center cannot help us, although we have found a vague direction with some secret information and special materials, but it is still in the exploration stage......
Noticing Lawrence's arrival, the head of the research group here hurriedly got up.
"I've seen that part of the secret information, what is recorded is the data of human experiments, only those are not enough, if we want to develop a drug that can resist the source of infection as soon as possible, we need more references, can the Ministry of Security or the epidemic prevention center think of a way again, since you can get this level of secret information, maybe you can get more, right?"
Pulling out a glass test tube, shaking it slightly, watching the translucent liquid vibrate back and forth in the test tube, Lawrence leaned on the edge of the table, motioned for the researcher to sit down as well, and continued,
"In fact, I'm more curious about why the epidemic prevention center suddenly got this part of the information, this kind of human experiment data is an internal secret of the Ouroboros organization no matter how you look at it...... Could it be that we have an informant in the Ouroboros?"
"Perhaps...... This information did appear a little suddenly, we didn't receive any relevant news before we came, and the deputy director of Newcastle never mentioned it, but it could also be something provided by the security department, after all, they are the main force responsible for dealing with terrorist groups. ”
Perhaps because they had been experimenting for too long, they finally had a legitimate opportunity to rest, and the researchers didn't want to waste it.
"Do you know the new Mr. Fox, the gentleman who was assigned by the deputy director of Newcastle to help, I thought he was an expert on epidemics, but I didn't expect him to be involved in our work, it seems that he is really just an overseer?"
Lawrence moved on to another topic.
"I don't know, in fact, I have never seen him in the epidemic prevention center before, I heard that he was sent by the security department, and I know a lot of inside information, as you said, I think he should be the person sent by the government to supervise the work on the spot. ”
"You've never seen him at the quarantine center?"
Repeating the fragment of the researcher's words, Lawrence seemed a little surprised,
"Are you sure?"
"Of course, I have been working in the epidemic prevention center for 6 years, and I may not recognize all the staff at the bottom level, but I recognize all the middle and senior staff, and if Mr. Fox is an employee of the epidemic prevention center, I must have seen him before. ”
As a veteran employee of the epidemic prevention center, he is quite confident in this regard.
"It looks like it's someone from the Security Department...... I'll take a look at the experiments outside, and you can keep busy. ”
"Walk slowly!"
The researcher subconsciously got up to send it, but was pushed back into his chair by Lawrence.
Leave the room and return to the hallway.
Passing by the previous lab, Lawrence just glanced at the situation in his eyes and left the third floor without looking back.
