Section 226: Strange fish and primitive bacteria
"He's saying those kids had fevers in the first place?" After Chu Anruo listened to the translator's words, he looked at the elder who was talking to the translator.
The translator nodded yes.
"I'm going to take all the healthy kids out and take a sample of their blood!" Chu Anruo said to the translator, then looked at Shou Jinfeng, and smiled brightly, "It's up to you!" ”
"That's, happy to serve!" Shou Jinfeng raised his eyebrows lightly.
Then there was the conversation between Shou Jinfeng and the elder. However, the elders did not agree to bring the child to the tribe, nor did they agree to send the child to the hospital.
Shou Jinfeng finally had to call the person in charge of the island and ask for a doctor from a private hospital to bring their equipment here.
As for the place where you live, since you can airdrop food and medicine in the sky, it is no longer a problem to airdrop temporary tents for outdoor use. Chu Anruo doesn't worry about this, he has a longevity and Jin Feng. She was concerned about who was the first person in the tribe to get sick and what happened in the first place.
After everyone's memories and arguments, in the end, there was a slight agreement, and the first person to get sick was the daughter of the patriarch, and the tribesmen called her: Haenye
"Amen!" Song Jiao looked at the name tag on the toe of the corpse and sighed, "You're still so old!" ”
The body was covered with a white cloth and pushed out. As soon as the foreigner team leader clapped his hands, everyone began to get busy with their own work.
Soon, new discoveries were made in the tissue samples of ama.
"Teacher, this is a bacterial infection, I used the computer to match it. It was found that there is no classification of the bacterium in the existing records. The bacteria found in the ama organization are of the primary era, and they combine with some bacteria carried by us humans to mutate and give rise to this new bacterium! Song Jiao was the first to make the discovery, she projected her discovery on the white screen with a projector and explained, "Our previous guess was right, the infection is mainly in the respiratory tract, and the symptoms are completely similar!" ”
All the people in the laboratory are busy, and the bacterial infection is confirmed, so it is necessary to test the bacteria with the existing agent to see if it can be restrained by the agent of such bacteria
"Get into the water. Are you sure? Shou Jinfeng looked at Chu Anruo. Asked with a frown.
Chu Anruo nodded, "The people who were with the sea lady are all dead, but there is one consistent thing that the people in the clan say, that is, they have all been in the water!" Chu Anruo turned around. Look to the surface of the sea. "The sea itself is not a problem. But it's hard to say what will lie beneath the ocean floor. Didn't your people send me a message that now they found germs. And it's a bacterium that has never been documented, so let's think about it. It's very likely that this bacterium is the ama that they encountered underwater and contracted it! ”
"That's why I don't agree!" Shou Jinfeng put his hands on Chu Anruo's shoulders and straightened her up to face his face, "It doesn't matter if there is no bacteria under the water, if there is really one, in case you are too!" Anruo, now we don't have a special medicine to treat this disease! ”
Chu Anruo grinned, "Look at your serious appearance, I didn't say that I would go into the water." What has become of today's technology, you always say that you can do anything, so it shouldn't be difficult to get a robot or something into the water, right? No, I'm relying on your big tree to enjoy the shade! ”
Shou Jinfeng was stunned for a moment, then touched Chu Anruo's hair and laughed, "Poor and nervous, okay, as long as you are not personally involved in danger, robots or something, I can indeed get it!" ”
"If you want to be a little more competent, it's better to take some original samples of bacteria!" Chu Anruo raised some of his requirements.
"I don't really know if it's so advanced, but just try to use the best!" Shou Jinfeng shook the phone in his hand and pressed a button.
Chu Anruo looked down at the analysis report that was uploaded to her mobile phone not long ago, which came from the children and the pregnant woman before.
The area to be searched underwater is very large, and the transportation of machinery and equipment takes time, so Chu Anruo can only control the infected people before all this has a result. Traditional Chinese medicine has been airdropped, but these medicines can only have a small effect, and cannot cure anyone's disease.
When night fell, Chu Anruo and the others left the tribe and returned to the hotel. After a few bites of food in a hurry, Chu Anruo printed out all the information in his mobile phone, and then spent all his thoughts on data comparison.
She didn't find anything in the data of the pregnant woman, maybe the abnormality of the pulse was just her illusion, Chu Anruo planned to confirm it in a few days, but the data analysis of several children who recovered after being infected was very interesting: their white blood cells were twice as large as normal people, but the other data that would appear with the phenomenon of high white blood cells were all normal. But in the cost of the children's blood samples, the existence of proteases was discovered
How can proteases be present in the blood?
While neither Chu Anruo nor the expert group have yet to find a solution, the number of cases on the island is still increasing. Cases have been detected not only in the north of the island, but also in the south of the island with similar symptoms. This is because many people who become ill do not get to the hospital or quarantine area as required, so that the infection continues. The person in charge of the island has the intention to forcibly isolate the patient, but the islanders are scattered in the mountains and forests, not all of them are large tribes, and there are not many people who can enforce the law, so they can only think, but the enforcement is very low.
At the same time, the earliest group of people began to have symptoms such as herpes and pus ulceration, and the high fever not only did not relieve, but continued to rise, and the patient's brain and lungs had secondary symptoms.
Pain, just look at it.
In order to avoid further infection, all the corpses were required to be disposed of and burned at high temperatures, which caused a great conflict because of the conflict with local customs.
Unfortunately, the team of experts has been conducting endless experiments, but so far they have not found a way to suppress this bacterium. Chu Anruo also participated in the expert group, although it was not accepted, she still took out the data she found and the data she had in her hand to share with everyone for reference.
Because of Chu Anruo's data, the direction of research is very clear, and now a question in front of everyone is why there are virus-like proteases in plasma since it is a bacterial infection.
So what kind of original strain of this bacterium is becomes very important.
The good news is that Shou Jinfeng called to say that they had made a major discovery, and what they found seemed to be the source of the bacteria that infected the ama
"New species!" One of the trainees of the expert group pushed his glasses and looked at a strange fish in a thick aquarium.
The fish in front of him has two thumbs and short thumbs, one index finger thickness, no scales on the whole body, purple-black, no special number of fins, but the eyeballs have more whites and less black, and sharp teeth are visible to the naked eye in the mouth. What's even more bizarre is that there is a green bump on the top of the fish's head.
The photos of the fish have been passed on to the department of experts who have studied marine fish intensively, and the reply from them is that it may be a new species. The other party also said that he wanted to fly to take a look, but he only stopped after learning that there was a plague on the island.
As for the experience of this fish, I have learned about it in the video shooting of the machine. It is a forbidden area in the sea area where ama and others often go to the sea. There is also a dagger seen in the video, and after being confirmed by the tribesmen, they recognized it as a dagger in the tribe. As a result, the possibility that the ama and others have been here has greatly increased.
And as you can see in the video, this new species is very aggressive towards anything that approaches it.
"Will it be the culprit?" Song Jiao glanced at Shou Jinfeng with complicated eyes.
"Just check it out!" Chu Anruo said, his eyes were bright.
Experiments on the fish, tentatively named "Green Finger", soon began, as rats were thrown into a tank, attacked and bitten by Green Fingers, and the white rats were observed without interruption.
The final result is exactly the same as the results of the ama examination and autopsy!
"Sure enough, it's it!" The old man of the expert group grinded his palms excitedly, stared at the green finger, and waved his big hand, "Okay, now that the original bacteria have been found, the route of infection has been confirmed, and the target protease problem to be solved has also been discovered, next, everyone must work together to find the natural enemy to restrain it!" Have faith? ”
"Yes!" All the people, including Chu Anruo, responded loudly.
The research continued day and night, but almost all the existing bacteria, fungi, synthetic bacteria and all kinds of drugs were tried, but they had no effect on the original bacteria, while the deaths and infections of the people on the island continued, and the situation was getting worse and worse.
Chu Anruo and Song Jiao cooperated, and their task was to focus on the study of the child's blood and body data, and then he found that the blood of the child who also had a high fever was abnormal, but in the end, they were all fine.
"Indeed, Professor, this is strange!" Song Jiao handed the data to the old man of the expert group and looked at Chu Anruo, "This is what we have discovered in the past few days, among the people who died, there have been no children, but it is a fact that they are infected!" In the body of the recovered person, we only find the presence of proteases. An Ruo and I want to extract this part of the protease to deal with this primitive bacteria! ”
"Good!" The old man of the expert group thought for a moment, nodded in agreement.
This direction seemed to be correct at first, the protease extracted from the blood of the recovered person did have an inhibitory effect on the bacteria at first, but when everyone cheered to find a solution, it was found that the effect of the protease only lasted for five minutes, and after five minutes, the original inhibited original bacteria engulfed the protease, thus becoming more and more powerful.
Another discovery was that the green protrusions on the top of the head of the fish named Green Finger were gradually growing upward, very slowly, but the careful Song Jiao still noticed this change.
"Looks like it's going to grow something!" Song Jiao leaned into the glass jar, looked at the green finger and said. (To be continued.) )
