Chapter 543: Hope After Despair
"What's the matter with the three of you?" Qin Yan stood up and asked with a smile.
These people are all medical researchers, they do not participate in political and military affairs, and they do not participate in disputes between countries, so they will definitely not be enemies with Qin Yan.
On the contrary, all the virus experts who came here received orders from their respective countries to cooperate with Qin Yan unconditionally and share information resources with each other, without the slightest concealment. What's more, at the Global Medical Symposium, Qin Yan proved his extraordinary medical skills with his strength, and no one would have the slightest doubt about him, and he pinned the hopes of everyone, including them.
The eldest old man nodded respectfully to Qin Yan and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Qin, I just wanted to ask if there is any progress on your side." β
"What about you?" Qin Yan asked rhetorically.
"Nope."
The old man's brows furrowed, and he shook his head helplessly: "We have used all feasible methods, and so far we have not found any virus at all...... I even doubt that the so-called viruses and infections are not real. β
Qin Yan shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile and said, "Each other, the situation on my side is the same, can these viruses be stealth?" β
"Now that we can't continue our research, what do you suggest?" The old man asked.
"Can we only wait two days for the first symptoms to appear?"
Speaking of this, Qin Yan also frowned and muttered: "The time for our research is originally very short, just half a month, and it takes five days to remove the initial symptoms, that is to say, the time really left for us to study is only ten days." β
"I just can't figure out how the virus is hidden, if it really exists." The old man looked very weak.
"Unless it's not a virus at all." Qin Yan smiled bitterly.
That's it!
He just said this casually, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he said, "That's right! There is also the possibility that they are not viruses at all, or rather, not viruses as we understand them! β
The three of them, you look at me, I look at you, they all looked at him with surprised eyes, and then Qin Yan asked urgently, "What observations have you made?" β
"Blood, soft tissues, bones...... At almost every site, the most detailed virus analysis was done. β
"What about DNA?"
βDNAοΌβ
"I mean, if it's not what we understand as destroying the body through some kind of microbe, but tampering with DNA, have you ever observed that before?"
"Damn it!"
Another thin old man in his fifties and sixties suddenly brightened up, and then looked at Qin Yan with shock: "If it is not a conventional virus, but an attack on DNA, it is impossible for the virus to exist with the method we use." But...... The medical skills of the Osde laboratory should not be so strong, right? What's more, if this is the case, the DNA problem may not be solved at all with the current medical technology! β
Any disease that originates from a DNA defect is a terminal illness in the current medical field, and no doctor can cure it well.
Not even Qin Yan!
If everything is really as Qin Yan guessed, then the next research will not make much sense, and billions of people can only wait for death!
"Let's not talk about it for a while, let's try it in this direction and first determine if it's a DNA problem."
"Good! I'll go! β
The three of them quickly left Qin Yan's side, and Qin Yan was about to diagnose according to this line of thought, when the ringtone of the satellite mobile phone suddenly rang.
Seeing that the call was from Sikong Huilan, he hurriedly pressed the answer button, and as Sikong Huilan spoke, his face became strange: "Narrow down as much as possible, wait for my news." β
What is a virus?
To put it bluntly, a virus is a microorganism.
The essence of infectious viruses is that after this microorganism enters the human body, it will multiply and divide on a large scale, and then a small part will circulate to the outside world with the respiration and excretion of the infected person, and then enter the body of more people through transmission, resulting in geometric multiple diffusion and infection.
As Qin Yan proceeded according to the whimsical train of thought just now, a terrible result appeared, which was completely consistent with the results obtained by other virus experts.
First of all, there is no doubt that the subject is indeed infected.
Second, it's a virus like never before.
No!
It is not a pure virus, it is much smaller than a virus, and after entering the human body through airborne transmission, it does not exist on its own like other viruses. They penetrate into the DNA of the human body and merge with the DNA, so that it is impossible to detect its existence.
Conventional viruses can be found in their existence, they are not part of the human body after all.
However, these things do not exist on their own, and once they are integrated into the DNA, they have become an integral part of the human body in a way.
But it has the characteristics of a virus, that is, it is highly contagious.
After they are integrated into the DNA, they begin to gradually tamper with the human DNA, and eventually the human body will die of various strange genetic diseases.
At the same time, the tissues of the human body will constantly detach from the body, such as hair loss, cuticle loss, etc., which is the most basic metabolic process of human beings and cannot be avoided. However, in this metabolic process, the DNA in those shedding tissues has been tampered with, or it contains this extraordinary virus, and normal people will be infected once they come into contact with it, which is a new infectious mechanism.
How is it treated?
When it was determined that this special virus, which has the infectious characteristics of a virus but is different from a conventional virus, is infected and pathogenic in this way, virus experts from various countries were collectively dumbfounded.
Fundamentally, they don't believe that DNA lesions have the potential to be cured, which is the ultimate task that the global medical community cannot fully achieve.
At the same time, they also realized a problem: they were also infected, before this virus experts from various countries gathered together, and Qin Yan, the holy hand of medical Taoism, subconsciously they had a lot of hope to find the antidote, and now this hope is completely shattered, not only can they not complete the task delivered by the state, but the result of not finding the antidote is - including them will die!
Death!
This word has a great deterrent to anyone.
As medical research experts, they are accustomed to seeing life and death, but it is someone else's death, and what happens to them when death befalls them one day?
There are a few virus experts who have almost broken down, and with their state of mind, there is no way to continue doing research.
After getting a definite conclusion, Qin Yan gathered dozens of virus experts from various countries, he knew that Dao DNA was not his specialty, and if he wanted to crack this new virus, his strength alone was not enough, and he needed everyone to unite.
"Ladies and gentlemen."
Looking at the crowd in an extremely poor mental state, he said in a deep voice: "I know that everyone is very afraid, and no one can handle death calmly, and I am also afraid of death." However, it is precisely because we want to survive that we should concentrate all our energy and focus all our energy on cracking the virus. β
"Mr. Qin, you should know very well that this is not a conventional virus, a DNA lesion, it is impossible to crack it!" Virus experts from the United States looked desperate.
"I don't want to tell you big things, I don't want to put pressure on you, I don't want to tell you that billions of lives are in our hands."
Qin Yan glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "What I want to say is that since the Osde Laboratory can create this kind of virus that can tamper with DNA, why can't we correct the tampered DNA in some way?" I can't give you any guarantees right now, I don't even have some basic information, but tampering and correction are relative, whether you want to give up research or not, but I will continue along this line of thought, because I don't want to die! β
Of course, these people didn't know the identity of Lu Dao as a martial artist, they didn't even know that there was another group of people in this world.
Qin Yan's physique is too strong to be infected by the virus at all, but in the eyes of these virus experts, he is also infected by the virus.
Because I don't want to die!
This sentence is like a heart booster injected into everyone at the scene: they also don't want to die, instead of sitting and waiting for death, why don't they fight with death?
What's more, Qin Yan proposed a plan: if the virus released by the Ausde laboratory can tamper with human DNA, there must be a way to correct the tampered DNA, and everything is complementary to each other.
With these words, the hope of experts from various countries has been rekindled, and they have devoted themselves to research.
It is said that in the face of death, human beings can burst out with far more potential than usual, and this sentence has been verified here.
Day 4, 9 a.m.
Virus experts from Switzerland concluded that the virus does not cause any infection in other animals, which means that the virus is only effective against humans.
This conclusion may seem generic, but the importance is clear: since the virus is only aimed at humans, it is possible to narrow down the infection to regions of DNA that are different from those of other animals, rather than covering the entire DNA strand.
Day 4, two p.m.
Qin Yan came to another conclusion: the virus was extracted by him in some way, and he had found an effective way to kill the virus.
As a result, his method began to be implemented on a large scale in the shortest possible time, after being proven.
If you change to other viruses and find a way to kill them, it is equivalent to developing an antidote, but this virus is different: it does not enter the human body and multiply on a large scale like other viruses, but is integrated into the DNA and tampered with. To put it bluntly, it was a viral form before it entered the human body, and after it entered the human body, it was integrated into DNA, and it changed into another form and became a part of the human body.
Qin Yan's discovery can fundamentally prevent further infection, but it is impossible for people who have been infected to be cured in this way.
As it stands, the Osde laboratory is dropping the virus in major cities around the world, and given the lack of manpower, it is limited to large and medium-sized cities. Therefore, there are still many people who are not infected, and his method can prevent infection, which means that whether or not a cure can be found, it can ensure that those who have not yet been infected can survive.
Then, just when virus experts from various countries, as well as genetic experts temporarily dispatched, were trying their best to crack the virus, Qin Yan quietly left the research institute......
