Section 698 War and Peace
"The main battlefield has been calmed down, and only a small number of countries refuse to admit defeat. India is one of them, with its new prime minister denying defeat and demanding mediation within the limits of tolerance. I don't understand, why are these Indians so stubborn? At such a time, I am embarrassed to say anything about "mediation". Speaking of which, they were actually the earliest victims of equatorial fever bacteria. The number of people who have died from infection is as high as hundreds of thousands. They don't see the numbers, and they keep treating us as enemies. Could it be because of the so-called sense of national honor? β
"For the surrender ceremonies of Vietnam and Japan, there are no arrangements for the same day. This was mainly due to the course of the Russian campaign against the Japanese side. In accordance with the pre-war division of spheres of influence, the Russians demanded all of Hokkaido, as well as the whole of northern Japan, including Tokyo. In exchange, we only demanded Kyushu, and the rest of the occupied areas were handed over to the Russians. Of course, the Russian side also promised to give part of Siberia in exchange. All in all, we both got the desired result. β
"The reaction of the Vietnamese to the defeat is interesting. They moved out of the old leaders, who had long since taken a back seat, and began to engage in warm diplomacy. Speaking of which, these people used to be our "old friends". It's just that the timing of their appearance is not coincidental. I am very satisfied with the words of the diplomatic spokesperson at the surrender ceremony in Vietnamββββ we used to be friends and we share the same political formation. We have had close cooperation and common enemies throughout history. In the most difficult time, we spared no effort to help you and provided you with hundreds of millions of dollars worth of free assistance. But at the end of the day, what do we get? Treachery! Deceit! They have wantonly killed our nationals in disregard of morality and occupied the territory that originally belonged to our country without any bottom line. There is an old Chinese saying that it is not that you do not report it, but the time has not yet come. You have always regarded our forbearance as weakness and deception, and you have always felt that China needs to take into account too many enemies and will not use force against you at all. This is typical of a gambler's mindset. Now, the time has come for you to pay for your stupidity and hubris. β
"The occupation of Vietnam was much more troublesome than expected. With Da Nang as the boundary, tens of millions of civilians were exiled from all towns and cities throughout North Vietnam. As a ceded territory, we don't want a single Vietnamese. Staying where these people are will only be a source of instability. Napoleon was right when he said that China is indeed a lion. Since he is a lion, he cannot always have an amiable attitude. We also get angry and we also roar. We must recover from the enemy what we have been robbed of, and we must calculate with them the interest we must pay for the years of forcible occupation. β
"Combat reconstruction can only be ranked second in the list of "important things". The most important thing at the moment is to concentrate on the study of equatorial fever bacteria. This time, the joint body has not been hindered in any way, and all the work is proceeding smoothly. It's just that Pfizer has set up too many obstacles, and no one knows where they got the source of this germ. In particular, the evolution rate of equatorial fever bacteria has far exceeded expectations and is continuing in a terrible direction. β
"Recorder: Fang Yujie, Director of the Third Research Department of the Joint Research Institute."
"March 12: We have run out of things against the equatorial fever bacteria. Of course, this is not to say that there is no way to contain this germ, but that none of the existing antibiotics can work against it. Penicillin completely lost its effect, and there was no way to use cephalosporin-fortified antibiotics. Equatorial fever bacteria have even evolved a very strong phagocytic ability, which has a diametrically opposite digestive effect on antibiotics. This morning, all the directors of all research divisions, including me, signed an executive order that counter-studies of equatorial fever bacteria should no longer be conducted on the basis of antibiotics for any reason. Because...... That thing has become food for equatorial fever bacteria. β
"March 15: The plague has affected the world, and the ability of equatorial fever bacteria to adapt to temperature is increasing. Finland, Norway, and Sweden, which are perennially cold countries, are no longer immunization zones, and tens of thousands of suspected infections have been detected. Due to the physiological structure, the activity of equatorial fever bacteria is very weak in winter, and after a while, we will have a very hot season this year. I can't imagine how many people will die during this time. β
"The use of bacteriophages against equatorial fever bacteria is not a new topic. Such proposals were made long before the outbreak of the Third World War. However, the phage itself is not reliable. It's a virus, and we don't know much about it, and we haven't done any research. Although there are many patients with malignant bacterial infections who rely on phages to regain their lives, and there are many reports about this, they all ignore the fact that these patients have a very short survival time after cureββββ and none of them have reached the normal age of natural death in humans. β
"This phenomenon is extremely abnormal. I'm sure I'm not alone in seeing this. There is no doubt that equatorial fever is the cloud of death that currently hangs over the heads of humans, but we cannot simply solve this problem and release an even more terrible devil from another cage. To make matters worse, no one knows what kind of changes will occur when phages invade the human body. That's not just a few dozen cases, or hundreds of cases of malignant germs. There are billions of human beings, and we need a wider range of clinical data, but no one dares to take the risk. β
"Maybe we should try using nanobots. But there is another opinion in the study of the seventh and ninth parts, and that is antimicrobial peptides. This substance is extracted through snake venom and is hailed as a new generation of super antibiotics. Experimental data show that antimicrobial peptides have a good inhibitory effect on equatorial fever bacteria, but there are still technical difficulties in extraction. In a short period of time, the number will not be able to meet the needs of all patients and potentially infected people worldwide. β
"Personally, I tend to use antimicrobial peptides. The strong alkalinity, thermal stability and broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties of this substance are excellent, as well as the structure is also stable. However, the objections of other departments are also obvious: after all, antimicrobial peptides act by acting on bacterial cell membranes, and we have not yet been able to figure out how antimicrobial peptides kill bacteria. β
"The idea that antimicrobial peptides destroy the integrity of bacterial cell membranes and cause the loss of barriers inside and outside the cell, so as to achieve the purpose of killing bacteria, has been recognized among research departments. However, the specific process of action, whether there is a specific membrane receptor, and whether there is a synergy with other factors are still not clear. There are also different views between departments, especially the mechanism of action of antimicrobial peptides from different organisms may be different, and further research is needed to determine it. β
"It's still the same problem beforeββββ biggest difficulty restricting the large-scale use of antimicrobial peptides is extraction. Its content in animal body is very small, and the whole extraction process has low yield, long time-consuming, complex process, and high cost, which cannot achieve large-scale production. β
"April 11: A high-level meeting of the joint research institute held today to discuss the specific use of nanobots or antimicrobial peptides. The benefits of nanobots are obvious, they are ideal for large-scale production, but they take a long time to kill equatorial heat bacteria, and there are some instability. For example, the reception and execution of commands, the biodecomposition mode after entering the human body to clean up the lesions, and so on. However, the issues involved in the large-scale use of nanobots are very complex, especially the licensing of patented technologies. None of the governments involved in the study are willing to disclose their technical parameters for nanorobotics and refuse to cooperate on the issue...... At one point, the meeting reached an impasse. β
"June 22: This morning, the Australian Government reached out to us to collaborate on nanorobot production. My guess is that this is probably the result of the death of the country's prime minister last week. As early as two months ago, the country's prime minister was diagnosed with equatorial fever bacteria. Although the medical authorities injected it with expensive antimicrobial peptides, the highly evolved equatorial fever bacteria clearly possessed opposing powers. The man was stubborn, had always been resistant to joint research, and had publicly claimed that "Australia is perfectly capable of fighting the plague on its own". β
"Only the dead can make the living see reality clearly, and the bloody lessons have an educational effect at all times. The Australians must have been frightened, and the successor of the prime minister took the initiative to contact us as soon as possible, and he showed enough sincerity to give the most preferential policies in terms of raw materials and factories. β
"In the afternoon, we received another message from the Vatican: the current pope is willing to give most of the church's assets to speed up the research and development of new antimicrobial substances by joint research institutes. This is undoubtedly good news for the top of the government. It's just that between the various research departments, this matter is treated as a joke. At dinner, a lot of people were gagging that God had given up the world and made us God's agents. β
"June 25: The situation is getting worse, and the equatorial fever bacteria have completed six consecutive evolutions this summer. The interval between each one is only one week, or even less. Their cell membranes become stronger, and there is even a tendency to keratinize. We used thirty-nine antimicrobial peptides in our experiments, and now twenty-eight have lost their effectiveness. At an impromptu meeting this evening, all senior executives agreed that given the many instability of antimicrobial peptides, and the fact that equatorial fever bacteria have evolved to be extremely difficult to kill, we have to resort to a last resort: nanobots. β
