Chapter 267: Tiny Bacteria [Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Subscription]

Tick, tick.

The clock kept turning, and on the big screen in the emergency command center, there was only 4:00:00 left in the countdown for Team B's departure, four hours.

The countdown to blow up the passage is ten hours remaining.

It has been two hours since Team A's problem team entered the Dream Realm, and the physical passage in Jiangxing Town is still stable, and more personnel are in place to guard it. Teams B and C are also rapidly assembling and will have more spell crews on the team.

All parts of the command center are busy, and the personnel of various departments are making various coordination and arrangements.

Tong Ye was talking with Dr. Shen, Dr. Jiang and others, and long before Team A set off, when Gu Jun was still connected, they talked about whether they could send people to spiritual dreams, and follow the spiritual connection with him like last time. Spiritual dreaming doesn't consume that physical channel.

They didn't know where Karl Plains and the House of Worms were, but Dr. Jiang said that as long as there was a connection, they could theoretically give it a try.

"Don't let Wu Shiyu's spirit fall asleep." At that time, Gu Jun said solemnly, "Her spiritual dreaming may bring bad luck, which the Great Elder Attar has specially explained." ”

The problem is that Wu Shiyu is the person who is most closely connected to his spirit, but Gu Jun said that if he really wants to take this step, then find Wang Ruoxiang, she knows how to do it.

There is an employment principle in extraordinary times, and Wang Ruoxiang has set off silently from the isolation base and gone to the dream team that is also assembled......

"It's been two hours." Dr. Shen was really worried, "I don't know what happened to Ah Jun. ”

At the same time, another thing that made the command center nervous was the "Laihua Tree" tree species, which was given by Atal and must be of great use.

The scientific research fleet has already planted the tree seeds in the greenhouse, and since Gu Jun has repeatedly emphasized that Attar said that it should be planted naturally, the fleet follows this principle and is cultivated and cared for by a team of botanists. Zhang Jinmin, the commander-in-chief of the fleet, said: "We will never let the organization down. ”

"Tongye, the situation of the corpse is not quite right."

The number of patients and deaths continues to surge globally, nationally, and in Shanhai City, and the Kingdom's new corpses have been transferred to the scientific research fleet for further study.

At this time, an eight-speed surveillance video was played on the large screen of the command center, and everyone could quickly and clearly see the changes in the new corpse of the kingdom.

The medical staff were particularly chilled when they saw it, and Xiao Huiwen, who had observed the dissection of ghouls, muttered in surprise: "It's too fast, it's too fast......"

The new corpse of the kingdom has been kept in a state of heat above 40 degrees, which is higher than before death. This is not a strange thing, because after the death of patients with encephalitis and pneumonia, due to the action of bacteria and viruses, the decomposition in the body is enhanced, and the thermogenic activity increases, and it is normal for the corpse to heat up for a period of time.

But the other corpses are happening too fast!

The decomposition of corpses usually begins to appear in the 24th hour after death, and Wang Guoxin has been deciding for less than 5 hours before his whole body is clearly decomposed.

First the lungs, then the abdomen, swelled high like a blow, and then bloody pus gushed out from the mouth and nose, and dense pustules appeared on the skin of the whole body, which did not need external force to puncture, and exploded to a certain extent, splashing out a puddle of pus that exuded a peculiar smell.

The whole body is rotting like this, and there must be bacteria devouring and decomposing the tissues of the whole body.

"Bacteraemia." Xiao Huiwen made this judgment, "When the patient died, Legionella bacteria had already entered the blood from the lesion, and bacteremia was complicated. ”

If it is not bacteremia, the bacteria in the lungs do not spread throughout the body.

Bacteraemia is when bacteria multiply in the bloodstream and spread throughout the body with the bloodstream. Even bacteremia caused by ordinary bacteria can cause extremely serious results, leading to acute failure of multiple organs, and the mortality rate of bacteremia complicated by pneumococcal pneumonia can be as high as 60%.

Now it's this new type of Legionella...... This also explains why the survival time of patients is so short.

Their medical department had this judgment before, but they didn't have time to do a clear examination and autopsy.

It is now almost certain that the late hallmark of this Legionnaires' disease is bacteremia, which leads to the appearance of purulent infection throughout the body. However, before this symptom appeared, the patient had already died due to acute failure of multiple organs, and the symptom became a cadaveric phenomenon.

Not only the corpses of Wang Guoxin, but also the corpses of other patients in the hospital in Jiangxing Town, as well as other corpses in other places, also appeared in this situation.

They have that fast-multiplying Legionella bacterium all over their bodies! Otherwise they wouldn't rot so fast, they're turning into a pile of pus.

And after the death of the patient, the Legionella bacteria seem to multiply even faster......

"I bet you there must be a spell in it." Tong Ye said in a sullen voice, "The vitality of this bacterium is too unusual. ”

"It's supposed to be a spell...... Dr. Jiang thought, "or maybe it's a science we don't know yet." ”

In general, Legionella bacteria are 0.6-1.2 microns in diameter and can sometimes grow to more than 50 microns.

Now that scientists have detected from patients' blood sputum samples, some of the new Legionella bacteria have grown to more than 100 microns, and they can be very large.

But how small this Legionella bacteria is when it is at its smallest is not yet known to scientists.

However, it is definitely smaller than 0.3 microns, because the N95 medical mask with a filtration rate of more than 95% for 0.3 microns is completely ineffective, and the filtering respiratory protector that can filter 0.07 micron particles usually used in tertiary protective clothing is also useless.

Bacteria can be very small, and the smallest known bacteria "nanobacteria" were only 50 nanometers in diameter, or 0.005 microns.

Therefore, when this Legionella bacteria is spreading, it is entirely possible that it is less than 0.01 microns, so that now only airtight protective clothing is still effective, but it cannot support such a large demand, especially the needs of the general public.

However, so far, researchers have not found such a small Legionella bacteria from existing blood sputum samples and air samples, and the smallest is 0.1 microns.

Can they still shrink and deform?

In some previous scientific research experiments on bacterial culture on space stations, bacteria do know how to resist drugs by deformation, but they are not deformed at any time......

But maybe that's a good thing. Everyone heard Gu Jun describe a kind of heteroliterate plague "coughing up blood" that can be transmitted without relying on bacteria, viruses, and parasites, and the specific mechanism is unknown, and it seems that it can be transmitted by one thought like nightmare disease.

If this new type of Legionella is targeting "coughing up blood", it is undoubtedly very close......

The state has already launched the "Tinder Project", and some big and important people are evacuating from the secret base.

At this time, no matter Tongye, Dr. Shen, or Yao Shinian, everyone was silently thinking, Ah Jun, Ah Jun, what is the situation over there, you can hurry up.

It was also at this time that the alarm suddenly sounded in the command center, and the personnel whispered and exclaimed, "There is a fleet!" There is a fleet of ships! ”

The real-time image from the scientific research fleet showed that on the sea outside the fleet, there was a ghostly fleet sailing in the dark night.
