Chapter 364: Superbugs
Harvard Medical School is the top medical school in the world, and it is said that in the laboratories of Harvard Medical School, any kind of organism can be cloned.
Professor Locke is the head of the Department of Pathogenic Microbiology in the Haval Medical Laboratory, and his deep reading glasses and pale hair indicate that he is nearly 100 years old.
Professor Locke has been very tired these days, because Boston has recently seen several patients with very serious infections, high fever, dizziness, a sharp increase in white blood cell count, and a systemic purulent infection. This disease was very common during the First World War, and in that harsh environment, it was easy to cause the rapid growth of bacteria, and at that time, people were under the pressure of hunger and cold, and their resistance was insufficient, so the final death of purulent infection accounted for two-thirds of all deaths.
But with the discovery and use of penicillin, the number of infected patients has been greatly reduced. And today, the whole hospital is flooded with antibiotics, how can there be bacteria infected with this disease, and there are several cases in a row.
Old Locke was tired of lying on the leather chair and wanted to sleep, he was old, although he still had an enterprising spirit, but his physical strength was no longer exhausted, now it was the world of young people, Old Locke muttered in his heart, he glanced at the figure of the busy young man in the laboratory, smiled unconsciously, and closed his eyes.
In the laboratory, there is only the soft sound of various machines "dripping".
"Ahh A scream suddenly sounded in the silent laboratory, and Old Locke opened his eyes violently, guessing in his heart that it must be some damn student who smashed the precious silicon-free flask again, these children. It's so hairy.
Old Locke struggled to stand up, and heard a "da-da-da" sound of small leather boots hitting the floor towards him, old Locke knew that this was the voice of his most proud doctoral student Mary when she walked, although Mary is now nearly thirty years old, but she still retains the skin of a twenty-year-old girl and the cuteness of an eighteen-year-old girl.
Sure enough, soon a woman with blond hair and a lab coat walked over quickly, taking a deep breath as she walked.
Old Locke spoke, "My dear Mary! You're thirty years old, and I'm already a father of two children at your age. Can you be more steady? Go ahead. Did you break the experimental equipment again? ”
Mary's towering chest rose and fell a few times, and the pair of legs exposed under the lab coat moved rapidly, and said, "No, teacher. It's amazing. Come and see. Look what those damn bacteria do? ”
Old Locke looked at Mary suspiciously, and said, "What's going on?" ”
There was a slight surprise in Mary's eyes, and she couldn't hide the excitement, excitement, and fear on her face. "Teacher, they are devouring antibiotics, they are devouring vancomycin, which is currently the most powerful potent force, and they are still changing their form. ”
Old Locke saw that his students were a little incomprehensible, so he trembled to a huge electron microscope and said, "You kid, you are all doctoral students, and you are always so arbitrary. ”
Old Locke said, adjusted the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, and looked at the screen of the electron microscope with his eyes, which directly scared Old Locke out.
I saw that on the black and white electronic screen, a bunch of rapidly wriggling bacteria were devouring the antibiotics in the petri dish, and they completely took vancomycin, which is said to be able to kill all bacteria, as food, and then this pile of bacteria began to divide rapidly, and the bacteria after the division completely changed their form, obviously, they have integrated the structure of vancomycin, and vancomycin can be directly fused and swallowed.
"Oh God! What do I see? Old Locke suddenly cried out, and then he looked at Mary and said, "This ...... Where did this thing come from? ”
Mary also saw the excitement and fear in Old Locke's eyes, and said, "It was taken from the seriously infected patients in Boston. ”
Old Locke nodded and muttered, "No wonder, no wonder such a violent infection occurs, Mary, you immediately experiment with other antibiotics, as well as other biochemical methods, to record the survival state of this bacterium." Il, Il, is he in the lab? Damn, Wade, go ahead, go and repeat this experiment right away, oh my god, that's crazy. ”
Old Locke seemed to be twenty years younger all of a sudden, his eyes were full of fanaticism, he immediately rushed to the reference room on the side, and said, "Kang Li, burn the materials that are going to apply for the Nobel Prize, now you have a new task." ”
Kang Li in the reference room was stunned for a moment, looking at his teacher, he had never seen his teacher so excited. "Teacher, I haven't heard of it, we have been preparing for three years of hard work? Don't declare? ”
Old Locke said: "Yes, I don't need that part, now there is an even more amazing discovery, okay, Conry, go to the laboratory, Mary will explain it to you in detail." ”
The Haval medical laboratory was quickly in chaos, and Mary gradually turned from excitement to fear, because she suddenly found that all antibiotics nowadays have no effect on this damn bacteria, and this bacteria is very adaptable to environmental radiation, PH, temperature, etc., that is, if humans are infected with this bacteria, they will face a situation where there is no medicine available.
At twelve o'clock in the evening, the pathogenic microbiology area of the Havard Medical Laboratory was still brightly lit, and Mary shivered as she continued to look for a new way to kill the germ.
Conry was writing materials on the computer next to him, and a row of big black bold words "superbugs" stood out, which was the new name given to the thing by the Haval Laboratory.
"Jingle bells, jingle bells......"
The phone in the lab rang suddenly, and Mary's whole body shook violently, and then she calmed down.
Wade, who was on the side, touched Mary's hair with a smile and said, "Hey, Mary, what's the sweat on your head, come, let my brother hug you, and relieve your fatigue." ”
Mary smiled, deftly dodging Wade's embrace.
At this time, Kang Li, who answered the phone on the side, shouted: "Hey, Mary, a man is looking for you, oh my God, it can't be your boyfriend, I'm so unlucky, it turns out that you are already famous." ”
Mary knocked on her little leather boots, walked over with a "da-da-da", and took the phone from Kang Li's hand, "Well, dear, are you back home?" The trip to Huaxia went well...... You won't have to pick me up today, I might have to work all night,...... Shut up, Jack, and you are not allowed to insult my work, or insult sacred medicine...... Hey, Jack, I really have a very important experiment, don't come, don't come......"
Before Mary finished speaking, the phone had already "beeped", Mary put down the phone, smiled apologetically, and said, "My uneducated boyfriend has to come over, and please tolerate his rudeness." ”
Kang Li shrugged his shoulders and said, "What if you don't tolerate?" Damn, I wanted to melt him in a test tube, and he snatched our 'Haval Flower'. ”
Mary laughed, "No, Conrier, I promise you'll dismiss that when you see him." ”
Five minutes later, a deafening sound of motorcycles sounded in the empty Havard campus, and then I heard the alarm in the laboratory start to go off, and I heard the sound of footsteps, and I heard a security guard shouting: "Stop, damn, stop, you can't trespass." ”
Kang Li and Wade in the laboratory all stopped what they were doing and looked at Mary blankly, Mary smiled apologetically, and said, "Oh, it must be Jack who has arrived." ”
Sure enough, soon a strong man in a tattered biker costume ran into the lab, followed by a bunch of professional security guards with pistols behind his ass. And this strong man is the seal agent that Song Jian rescued in Tokyo, Jack.
Jack took the Seal Elite Special Combat Team to Huaxia Kingdom to help Song Jian once, although he didn't make any effort, and he didn't even waste a single bullet, but Song Jian still gave Jack three pills, a healing pill, a pill to enhance strength, and one to enhance strength, and one is a beauty pill.
As soon as he returned to the United States, Jack immediately took off his poster special combat team clothes and came to look for his girlfriend, he really wanted to give his girlfriend the beauty pill to eat immediately, and see if he could instantly make his girlfriend back to the delicate and compact when he was eighteen years old, as Song Jian said.
Mary smiled bitterly and hurried up to explain to the security guards, who retreated.
Jack whistled, nodded at Wade and Conry, and said, "Hey, guys, it's hard." ”
Wade and Conry saw this strong, ox-like Jack, and they all worked silently.
Mary angrily grabbed Jack's ear and said, "What the hell are you going to do?" Did you know that this is Haval, the most famous laboratory in the world? ”
Jack shrugged his shoulders and said, "So what?" Can you make vampires? ”
Mary couldn't help but be stunned, and then said, "I'm going to work all night tonight." ”
Jack smiled: "Okay Mary, it's okay to work all night today, but I brought a magical pill from Huaxia Kingdom, you must eat it immediately." ”
Mary listened and laughed angrily: "Jack, you are also an adult, can you be serious, you also believe in the backward technology of Huaxia Kingdom, those deceptive witchcraft?" Aren't you afraid that those pills will poison me to death? You must know that the alchemy of Huaxia contains excessive amounts of lead and mercury. ”
Jack hurriedly said: "No, no, Mary, this pill of mine is different, this pill of mine can make you young forever, and you can ...... It can also make your little ass as compact as an eighteen-year-old ....... Jack had a lewd, smile on his face.
Mary glared at Jack with a red face, and as soon as she reached out, she swallowed the elixir into her stomach, "Now you're satisfied, you bastard, get out of the lab, oh my God, how could I find such an uneducated boyfriend as you......"
Mary cursed angrily and kicked Jack out of the lab.
And on the experimental table, a report on "superbugs" is like a blood-red death summoning book, exuding a faint blood light...... (To be continued.) )
