Chapter 480: Once Upon a Time on Mars (3)
"Hello!" Khalid greeted Dr. Doom and prepared to go and take a break.
Dr. Doom's stand-in robot suddenly grabbed Kelid's arm, "Kellyd, you wait a minute. ”
"What's wrong? Doctor! Kailid asked in surprise.
"Are you feeling sick?" Doom asked a little nervously, mainly because he saw some red spots on Kellyd's body, like an allergic reaction.
"Uncomfortable?"
"You've got some red spots on you." Dr. Doom opened a holographic mirror to Kellyd, who immediately became nervous when he saw a number of small red spots on his neck and forehead.
Hurriedly activated the automatic body detection system, and the results came out after a while, [Alarm, alarm, infected with the Mars 17 virus, there is a slight inflammation, please Kailide team members to receive isolation and treatment as soon as possible.] ]。
After a while, Liao Qingsong and others also rushed over, and the artificial intelligence system of the base automatically notified Liao Qingsong.
"Captain, I'm infected with the Martian virus, I'm ......," Kellid said a little nervously.
"I know the matter, you should be isolated and treated immediately, don't worry." Liao Qingsong has turned on the anti-biochemical function of the spacesuit.
Although he was a little scared, he also knew that the alliance had a unique set of nano treatment plans for virus treatment, and even if he did not find a suitable antiviral vaccine or nano binding point of the virus, he could use the "Great Purge Treatment", and there was no problem in saving his life.
In about three hours, Kai Lide has been sent to the isolation chamber for isolation treatment and observation.
The other 9 members of the second squad of the Space Expeditionary Force at the Mars base also quickly conducted a comprehensive physical examination, and the existence of the Mars 17 virus was found on their bodies, which suddenly made the Human Innovation Alliance feel like a great enemy, and what they were most worried about still happened.
Zhao Hailun, Luo Wenxi, and Assiduo, three virus and medical experts, quickly came to the Mars base through the stand-in robot.
Looking at Kailide's medical record report, as well as the condition of other people, Luo Wenxi instructed: "Helen, you are a medical expert, and the matter of virus treatment will be left to you and Assido." ”
"Okay." Zhao Helen nodded.
"Yes." Assido replied while reading the examination report, and the two acted quickly, Assido was responsible for finding a vaccine for the virus, while Zhao Hailun was responsible for using nanotherapy to test the nano binding point of the virus, as long as the accurate nano binding point was tested, the physical harm to the patient could be reduced.
Luo Wenxi turned to discuss the Mars 17 virus with Dr. Doom.
"Dr. Wenxi, the Mars-17 virus is a virus found in the Martian atmosphere, it is a typical airborne virus, and from some previous studies, this virus should not be very destructive." Dr. Doom thought for a moment and said.
"I know it's not very destructive, but we can't guarantee that they won't mutate, and viruses that can survive in a harsh environment like Mars show how tenacious their vitality is." Luo Wenxi replied worriedly.
"Let's study the situation of the Mars-17 virus and their properties in the human body as soon as possible!" Dr. Doom proposed.
Luo Wenxi nodded, and the two of them began to test the traits of the Mars 17 virus and the like.
Three days later, everyone in the Mars base showed symptoms of red spots, but the vaccine and nano binding points could not be completed in a while, and although these red spots did not affect the astronauts' work, the Mars base development mission was suspended.
Mars space station, inside a conference room.
"One bad news and one bad news." Zhao Hailun said to the members of the expert group.
"Let's talk about the bad news first!" Luo Wenxi said with a headache.
"The condition of Kailid and Nikolai has deteriorated, and I recommend that they be observed for one more day, and if there is still no improvement, the purge treatment plan should be initiated." Zhao Hailun explained with a solemn face.
After discussing with the others for a while, Luo Wenxi nodded in agreement.
Zhao Helen continued: "The good news is that we have preliminarily figured out the characteristics of the Mars 17 virus, which is similar to the smallpox virus, with an incubation period of about 7~15 days, which can be transmitted by air and blood. ”
"By the way, Dr. Helen, this virus also has a characteristic, it has a dormant period, once the ambient temperature drops below minus 27 degrees Celsius, it will begin to enter a dormant state, if the purge does not work, it is recommended to transfer a batch of ultra-low temperature life support cabins from Blue Star." Dr. Doom reminded.
"Okay, I'll make a note of it."
……
Mars base, inside the temporary quarantine area.
Liao Qingsong and the others were very helplessly waiting for treatment, he glanced at Fang Haibo, who was watching a movie, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he quickly thought about what was wrong.
Well? Liao Qingsong hurriedly turned on the mirror function of the holographic bracelet, and he looked at the red spots on his face, which seemed to be less than before, was it an illusion? Or is it really less?
"Zhu Rong, bring up my image from yesterday."
Zhu Rong, the artificial intelligence of the base, immediately called up Liao Qingsong's image yesterday to him, and Liao Qingsong hurriedly compared it.
"Sure enough, it's a little less." Liao Qingsong hurriedly dialed Zhao Hailun's phone and explained his physical condition to her.
After a while, the stand-in robots of Zhao Hailun and Asidor appeared in the quarantine area and conducted a comprehensive inspection of Liao Qingsong and others.
Looking at the inspection report, Zhao Hailun said with a happy face: "Captain Liao, their body has produced virus antibodies, and now it is getting better. ”
"Or why didn't Nikolai and Khalid produce antibodies?" Dr. Asidor said confusedly.
"Well?......" Zhao Hailun also pondered, and suddenly she seemed to think of something, and hurriedly turned on the holographic computer, called up the information of Liao Qingsong's 10 people, and then conducted a genetic comparison, looking at the results of the genetic comparison, she suddenly realized and said:
"I know what's going on."
"You mean genetics?"
"Yes, five people, including Liao Ji Chang and Fang Haibo, are pure East Asian races, and the other three people from Kazakh and Burmese are mixed races with East Asian races, while Nikolai is 13% East Asian ancestry, and only Kai Lide is pure white." Zhao Helen paused and said again:
"Combining the gene concentration of East Asians with their disease, can we see that the gene concentration is inversely proportional to the disease, that is, the East Asian gene has a resistance gene to the smallpox virus."
Dr. Asidó made some observations and discovered this pattern.
Three days later, the erythema and inflammation of Liao Qingsong, Fang Haibo and others had completely disappeared, and Kai Lide and Nikolai had no choice but to choose a major cleansing treatment, and then quickly transported to the Martian space station to recuperate.
The alliance issued a gag order for the inability of white genes to fight the smallpox virus, after all, this thing is simply a natural racial gene virus, and it is not good that it will be used.
In addition, the astronauts or others who were sent to the Martian Territory have been readjusted, and all pure white genes are temporarily restricted from entering the Martian Territory, but fortunately, there are not many pure whites in the Human Innovation Alliance, and even many of the Lucia Commonwealth are mixed-race.
