Chapter 21: The Power of the C Virus

Fortunately, whether you want to mass-produce the virus, or to produce the corresponding antiviral agents and vaccines, you need to grow the virus in an adapted environment.

The cultivation of the virus is inseparable from the right organic matter, air temperature, humidity and the soil in which the virus grows.

This is similar to the culture of bacteria.

It was the first time for everyone to see this thing that would change the entire world pattern and even the fate of mankind in the future, so whether it was those professional scientific researchers or Qi Zhen, they were all a little cautious at this time, for fear of any accidents.

First of all, they analyzed the composition of the virus, saying that it may not be accurate, to be precise, they need to figure out what the virus in their hands is.

Once you've figured out what it is, the next step is to figure out how it grows, and if you can figure out how it infects the body, that's the best thing to do.

Once the logic of infection is clear, it will naturally be clear what part of the tissues and cells he destroys, and then affect those organs, and what kind of symptoms will be caused.

Finally, combined with all the information mentioned above, it is possible to find a cure plan or even a prevention strategy for the virus.

When it comes to the final step, the development of antiviral drugs and vaccines can be carried out simultaneously.

In the process of analyzing the components of the virus, because these scientific researchers are all virus experts at the forefront of the country, it is naturally a matter of hand.

Judging from the progress of the current feedback, even if the ability of these "national teams" is worse than the most cutting-edge talents in Qi Zhen's company, it is not far behind.

The most important thing is that these researchers signed non-disclosure agreements before they came here, and they have a very important mission on their shoulders - this is a battle for the survival of all mankind.

Almost all of these people are party members, and they have experienced the large and small bacterial and viral analysis work encountered after the founding of New China, and they are the most top-notch talents in this country, both in terms of work attitude and ability.

Correspondingly, they are not young, the youngest Qi Zhen looks nearly fifty years old, and the oldest is gray-haired, looking seventy years old.

But what Qi Zhen couldn't imagine was that these respectable scientists worked as if they were dying, as if they were used to this rhythm of racing against the virus, even if the C virus has not yet infected anyone in this world, but there is no doubt in their hearts that as long as the corresponding drug can be developed one minute earlier, then the harm caused by this virus in this world will be less.

Not only Qi Zhen, but also Zhang Zhiwen and He Li were in awe of these scientists, and from their state of forgetting to sleep and eat, the three of them understood to a certain extent why this country could be so strong today.

After only three days in the laboratory, the results of the analysis of the virus were already available.

This virus is a type of coronavirus, and some virus variants are like a pneumonia epidemic that broke out in China in 03.

However, the origin of this virus has yet to be traced, but it is certain that the growth mode of this virus is very similar to that of the original virus, and the degree of similarity is as high as 75%!

Now that you know what your opponent is, the rest of the job is much simpler.

It's just that the unexpected thing is that the cultivation of this virus is so simple and boring.

According to one veteran researcher, the virus is like a dog's tail grass that can be found everywhere on the side of the road.

Dog's tail grass means that this thing is very easy to feed, the seeds are thrown into the ground, a large piece grows, and it grows wherever it flies, whether it is for temperature or humidity, or even soil, there are no high requirements, he has not seen a virus with such vigorous vitality and such a picky environment for many years.

In those petri dishes with different temperatures, humidity, and culture environments, these viruses all show disgusting and widespread virus spots, which look like cobwebs waiting for prey.

It is known that the lowest temperature on the earth is collected at the poles of the earth, but even in the low temperature environment of minus 50 degrees, these viruses still maintain vigorous vitality, once the temperature is higher than minus 30 degrees, these viruses will begin to be active again, like a pile of penguins that don't know how to be tired.

After the initial analysis of the virus, the Fudan University laboratory building began to flood trucks from the outside to transport wooden boxes that did not look serious.

Wooden boxes are large and small, the big ones are about one person tall, the small ones can only be called wooden boxes, and the smallest ones are even only the size of a person's palm.

Whether it is a large box or a small box, there are four big characters written on it - experimental supplies.

The workers didn't quite know what was inside, but there were occasional noises coming from inside when the boxes were being moved, and they didn't feel like dead objects.

It's not dead creatures, it's a living animal that has been tested for the effect of infection.

Although it is not possible to find all kinds of animals, it is possible to say that there are all kinds of animals that can be seen in the market.

Insects, reptiles, amphibians, and most often mammals.

Not to mention the mice, but also monkeys, cats, and dogs, the purpose of which is naturally to test the possibility of these animals carrying the virus, and most importantly, the infection pattern among the test subjects.

In the end, the results of the experiment were ideal, quite ideal, but it was not a good thing for these professional scientists.

Of course, it couldn't be better for the three of them.

Infections of the virus hardly pick race.

It's a terrible thing, which means that these viruses can be infected to a considerable extent in any animal.

Has there ever been such a virus in the world?

These scientists consulted many documents, and even opened the history books, but found nothing, and the final conclusion made them feel a little frightened.

They got a virus that had never been seen before in the world, and it was the most infectious, and even the most contagious.

Another thing that made them even more unbelievable was that none of the animals had any obvious symptoms after being infected by the virus.

Even two snakes were infected by the virus, and the malaise caused during the transportation process was much better.

At one point, these scientists suspected that they were getting a stimulant instead of a virus.

Unfortunately, this is still the virus, because after the seventh day, one of the mice finally started to show symptoms of infection.

The mouse's initial reaction was no different from a normal cold, sneezing frequently, and its body temperature began to rise, at first only slightly, and then suddenly became higher after three days.
