"I met Captain Richards at the base hospital. Both of his legs were blown off by mines. Compared to the others who died, Richards was undoubtedly lucky. The Arabs are getting stronger in close combat, they have that terrible exoskeleton system, they know the terrain well, and they are ruthless...... Reluctantly, it must be admitted that they are not what they were when we first launched Desert Storm. Time has changed everything, and they have gone from sheep to hungry wolves. It seems that it is time to withdraw the troops, and this desert should be returned to them. ”

"I heard that Washington is working on issues related to the militarization of exoskeleton systems. They should be able to get results easily. In addition to the strengthening of the power system, bulletproof armor must also be added...... If you continue to do it according to this model, I am afraid that there will be mobile armor in science fiction. ”

This page is only half of the document, and this is the end of it. Liu Tianming opened the back part and found that there were two other pages.

It was another recorder, and the content of the document was no longer about the exoskeleton medical system, but about germs.

"Recorded by: Samantha, Infectious Disease and Epidemiology Specialist, Columbia University's Institute for Global Health."

"June 28: The Taj Mahal is really beautiful, it completely removed all the bad feelings I had for India since I got off the plane. Forrester thinks so, too. Although the country is dirty and the streets are filled with all sorts of unimaginably horrible smells, for now, I am happy with the trip. ”

"I don't like the food here. I'm not referring to curry, but sweets like fried dough. My God! Do people here have to put sugar in everything they eat? It's definitely not about putting a little bit of flavour on the food, or about two spoonfuls of milk. They just picked up the sugar jar and turned it upside down...... I know a few British friends who don't have this horrible dim sum in English afternoon tea. I tasted the kind of deep-fried dumplings sold on the street and couldn't eat them anymore, they were so sweet. Forrester ate with great relish, and ate all that was left of me. He patted his stomach and told me: don't waste food, you should enjoy happiness in the process of eating. This is absolute obedience to the Creator. ”

"July 3rd: We left Mumbai and came to Kathmandu."

"Forrester wasn't doing well and he was feeling very uncomfortable from the moment he got on the plane. It was the first time I saw him ask a flight attendant for a glass of water instead of eating on the plane. After this, Forrester was sweating incessantly, accompanied by a strong vomiting followed by a cough...... Luckily, there weren't many passengers on that plane, so we moved to a less crowded position in the back. Forrester was gasping for breath all the time, and his skin was frighteningly white. I've never seen him sweat so much, and he's almost collapsed. ”

"When I finally got off the plane, I got Forrester into the nearest clinic. The doctor diagnosed peritonitis with an upper respiratory tract infection. These two diseases basically coincided with Forrest's symptoms, and the doctor prescribed medicine to Forrestal. I didn't go anywhere all day, I stayed in the hotel with him. ”

"5 July: Forrester's situation shows no signs of improving. He coughed more severely and even had intermittent tremors and convulsions. I have serious doubts about medical technology in India. Luckily, I bought my ticket yesterday and got in touch with my friends in Switzerland. At this time, it was no longer possible to measure the problem in terms of money, so I chartered a direct flight to Zurich. On the way, Forrester held my hand tightly as if I was his only hope. ”

"July 6th: Dr. Hoffman informed me of the test results. It's not peritonitis, it's not an upper respiratory tract infection. Forrester is infected with a very terrible bacterium with a frighteningly high chance of death. ”

"The purpose of human antibiotics is to fight bacteria. Just as tanks appeared to fight machine guns, there are also antibiotics in bacteria that are helpless and powerful. This is the case with the bacteria that infect Forrester. It is stubborn and there are no cured cases so far. All known infected individuals have died. Hoffman could do nothing about it. He gave me two pieces of advice: First, bring enough stimulants and complementary drugs and travel the world with Forrester. Second, take a conservative approach and let Forrester try to see how to increase the dose of antibiotics. ”

"I'm the latter, of course. I'm going to save my husband. Traveling the world is a two-person affair, and I would never go with a dying patient. I want him to get back to health and get back on his feet. ”

"July 22: Dr. Hoffman's treatment has no effect. High doses of antibiotics are not harmful to the bacteria in Forrester's body. This was something that had been expected, and there was no unexpected hope. To make matters worse, the bacteria in Forrester's body have developed resistance. Today's blood test confirms this. ”

"July 30th: Forrester's condition continues to deteriorate and the bacterial infection has spread to the bloodstream and lungs. He began to develop purulent shock, constantly fell into a coma, and even hallucinated. He woke up and fell asleep and woke up in the hospital bed, and kept talking nonsense, and I watched from the side, and my heart was like a knife. I knew that Forrester might not be able to hold on, which was a sign that a seriously ill patient was dying. ”

"August 2: Hoffman invited me into his office. He was very sorry to tell me that he had exhausted all the antibiotics available to him, and that there was still nothing he could do about the bacteria in Forrestal's body. Bacteria are evolving much faster than new antibiotics are developing, and this is the biggest challenge that all doctors in the world have to face. ”

"I'm in utter despair."

"In the evening, Forrester came to his senses very rarely. He wanted to watch the Discovery Channel, which was his favorite TV show. I did so, and the screen was filled with a picture of the eagle fighting the snake. ”

"Maybe that's what God inspired me in a time of despair!"

It occurred to me that the key to Forrester's life was to be able to destroy the bacteria that were constantly eating away at his body. This is the same as the police catching the murderer in advance and letting the victim survive. So, is there anything else in this world that can kill bacteria when antibiotics can't kill bacteria? ”

"My profession is studying infectious diseases and epidemics, and I know the answer is yes. ”

"Quite simply, bacteria are also living organisms, and they are also in the food chain of the earth's nature, which is also preyed upon by other species. Just as snakes are natural enemies of mice, bacteria are also natural enemies in nature. This is the law, no one can be an exception, and it must be followed unconditionally. ”

"It's called a bacteriophage."

"Bacteriophages are a special group of viruses. They are small in size and will parasitize specific bacteria or fungi in a targeted manner, replicate and reproduce themselves, and eat and disintegrate bacteria from within...... This process is predation, no different from lion hunting on the grasslands. Although bacteria are much larger than viruses, they are the best granary for phages. As long as you live in it, you don't have to worry about food anymore. ”

"It's a purely physical biological attack, a process of eating and decomposing the prey after it is killed, so there is no problem of resistance at all. This is the case with predators, there is never a carrion left on the grassland, and they have their own value in the eyes of creatures at all levels. ”

"I became excited: if I found the right bacteriophage, I could kill the bacteria in Forrester's body and save his life."

"Speaking of which, this method is not unique to me. In fact, bacteriophage therapy was discovered early and described in detail in medical journals. Little is known about this treatment, mainly because of the discovery of a large number of antibiotics and then into practical use. Human beings always like simple and effective things, and do not choose complicated and cumbersome objects. The same goes for bacteriophage therapy. If it weren't for Forrester's accident, I wouldn't have thought of this. ”

"August 5: Lieutenant Commander Hammer from the Naval Medical Laboratory called me. I couldn't find him yesterday, so I had to leave him a message on the answering machine. Lieutenant Colonel Hammer is the head of biodefense research at the Naval Medical Experiment Center. More than a decade ago, the military's medical department noticed that antibiotics were ineffective in the face of evolving bacteria, so they set up this laboratory. Just because there aren't any actual cases, Hamau's study is rarely known to the outside world. ”

"Hammer was happy to help. This is a very enthusiastic man, and he proposes two options: I take Forrester to him, or he flies to Switzerland with a phage. In terms of timing, it is clear that the latter is much better. ”

"August 7: Forrester's kidney has failed and he must rely on dialysis to maintain it. His condition got worse and worse, and he fell into a persistent coma. Since yesterday, I have only woken up three times, and each time my consciousness is blurred, and there is no sign of wakefulness. ”

"Lieutenant Colonel Hammer arrived at the hospital at noon today. Dr. Hoffman did the medication in the shortest possible time. When the phages were slowly injected into Forrester through the veins and chest catheters, I felt like the whole world was once again covered in the sun, and everything was full of light. ”

"I'm right, the phage treatment has worked well for Forrester, and his body and consciousness are starting to regain gradually. After several weeks in a coma, he opened his eyes for the first time and became conscious. He recognized me and called me by name. My God! I've never been so excited in my life as I am today. ”
