Chapter 295: Zebra Virus

The black viper's robot will not have its own private activities like people, so generally as long as they come out, they are with a task, and the things involved in being able to let the black viper robot come out will not be small, just like the previous thing about "sea blue gold", in order to spur the academicians of the Royal Academy of Sciences who are busy working all day how to expand their reputation, the people behind the incident directed the incident. Since then, however, research on Aquamarine has advanced by leaps and bounds, and the results have been remarkable. That's why leaders are natural strategists.

Having said that, Xilin didn't receive any news about the major incident in the black viper when he arrived here, although Guan Feng hasn't completely let go now, Xilin is only in an adaptation period, but if it's a really major event, it shouldn't be left unnoticed.

Although he hadn't told Xilin about the incident before, since Xilin asked, the robot wouldn't hide it.

"We're here to monitor suspected carriers of the virus." The robot said.

"Suspected virus carrier?" Cillin wondered, he came to this planet and didn't hear anything about virus carriers.

"Yes." The robot told Cillin the cause of the incident and the relevant information.

A virus has emerged in the Empire, which the people at the Institute of Virology of the Royal Academy of Sciences call the zebra virus. This is not to say that the virus is related to zebras, but that the symptoms caused by this virus are like stripes on zebras.

Initially, it will manifest itself in a change in the color of the body, with the appearance of two alternating colors, which will change from light to dark as the disease progresses. The nerves and muscles will be severely affected, and the muscles will become soft, hardened, and hard and soft with the appearance of the two colors. Same as the color distribution of the surface.

Whether it is an excessively softened muscle or an excessively hardened muscle, it will cause inconvenience to the human body, and finally completely lose mobility, the body's conditioned reflexes become dull, and the body's nerve conduction is blocked, but the nerves in the brain are relatively normal, and the patient's consciousness is clear, knowing that they are dead.

It has to be said that it was torture. Unable to move, unable to speak, and even facial expressions began to fade, and could only express emotions through the eyes. When the disease worsens, the pupils begin to change color, the same color as the stripes on the body.

At first, a patrol team of soldiers in the eleventh star field detected the energy signal on an uninhabitable uninhabited planet to collect energy mines, but saw five people who had been dead for more than a few days there, and there were also energy mines dug up next to the five people.

The planet's energy mines are not located on the surface, and it is not easy for patrols to detect energy mines deep underground. If it weren't for these five people digging up some of the energy mines, the patrol wouldn't have found the energy signal at all.

Since it is an energy mine located deep underground, how did these five people know? It was apparently not just the five of them, as the patrol had seen traces of the aircraft landing there. But when they arrived at the planet, they didn't see any flying machines, which means that they actually have companions. But their companions left them and left.

The five dead men did not have any wounds on their bodies, and the patrolmen pulled back their protective suits. Seeing the tragic situation of these five people, all five of them were covered with two-color stripes, some were blue and red, some were black and purple, and some were blue and yellow, all of which were symptoms caused by different virus variants.

The soldiers who opened the protective suits on the five people at that time also noticed that something was wrong, and immediately reported it to others, and then took a little blood from the deceased for scanning and analysis, and it was found that it was the virus that caused the death.

Several soldiers were wearing protective clothing, and after collecting some information, they returned to the fleet, and when they returned to the team, they carried out six layers of disinfection in the sterilization room, but unexpectedly, it didn't take long for the nails of those soldiers to begin to show two-color stripes, and they didn't feel uncomfortable at first, but because they had seen the five deceased, the soldiers were quickly sent for examination. None of them returned to the team.

Because of the existence of this unknown substance, ordinary virus scanners cannot detect its existence at all, and the analyzer can only determine whether it is caused by a virus or other reasons according to the patient's physical condition. And many sterilization devices cannot completely kill this single-stranded virus.

The soldiers did not kill the virus after six rounds of sterilization in the sterilization room, but only temporarily inactivated it, and when the conditions were right, they would be reactivated.

The samples they sent from the five deceased were later sent to the Royal Academy of Sciences, where they were classified as Class I dangerous by the Royal Academy of Virology, which also named the new virus zebravirus.

Soon the entire patrol was quarantined, and three days later, more than 60 percent of the patrol members were confirmed to be infected with zebra virus under scanners made by the Royal Academy of Sciences.

But there were many people who came into contact with the patrol, and then the virus spread more and more widely, from one planet to another, from one star field to another.

Because the incubation period is long and short, even if the Royal Academy of Sciences rushed to make a detector to detect latent viruses, it also increased the difficulty of the work. With so many planets and countless people, how could it be possible that each of them was caught and probed with a probe?

Now the upper authorities are deliberately suppressing this matter, and the black viper people are also getting busy. Because it is not very convenient for humans to move, in addition to the military's special operations department, this time it is mainly the black viper's robots that secretly track and find the primary mutants and primitive bodies of the virus.

After counting the days, Xilin asked, "Xi Kai left during the Black Viper handover meeting, is it because of this incident?" ”

"Yes, but Emperor Lanza urgently contacted Lord Xi at that time."

"However, since I know that this virus is so dangerous, why haven't I received news for so long, and if the situation is bad, the three kings will let the three of Yuan Xingming run around?"

"Feng Shou said don't let you know yet. And now the virus is still controlled in the eleventh star field, so many things are not public. I think the Three Kings should also think that this place is far away from the Eleventh Star Domain. Therefore, there is no restriction on the three princes, if there are infected people in this star field, the people who are guarding the three highnesses will definitely forcibly tie the three highnesses back. ”

Xilin glanced at him, and now Guan Feng has not completely handed over power. Talking is still more effective than citrin. However, Guan Feng didn't let Xilin get involved in this, not because he was reluctant to have the right in his hands, but because he didn't want Xilin to get involved in this matter.

In the past, Guan Feng was not involved in virus research, so even though he was the main academic student in the black viper, he did not participate in any research projects on viruses and molecules, but Xilin was different, Guan Feng was afraid that Xilin would participate. The initial research risk of the new virus is the greatest, which is also a means of protection for Xilin by Guan Feng.

No wonder Gu Changan and Christie. Langdu has been handed over, but Guan Feng has not handed over the power yet. I knew about it early on, so I didn't let go. Because verbal handover does not count. After the actual handover, the black viper's robot will re-set the new program commands. And the people responsible for changing this main program order are the decision-maker royal family and the executor Xi Kai. Both of them had obviously been greeted by Guan Feng in advance.

"How high is the mortality rate now?"

"Ten percent of those infected have died, 30 percent are critically ill, and the rest are in the early stages of infection. This virus mutates quickly and has a large number of extendent bodies. So the antibody has not been made to a satisfactory one so far. The drugs that are made only prolong the patient's life as long as possible. The robot said.

"The route of transmission has not been determined?" Cillin asked again.

"There is transmission of respiratory tract and body fluids, and secretions on the body surface may also contain them, and until now, all people who have been in contact with the patient have been infected."

"How's the situation with the xenomorphs?"

"Xenos are not avoided. The virus mutates faster in their bodies. ”

Sirin was silent.

The robot continued: "Later, the military and the black viper investigated and found that the planet that the patrol found was not the first point of the virus. Now there are two views above, one is conspiracy theory. They believe that this is a conspiracy, that someone deliberately arranged such an event to release the virus, in order to take revenge on the Empire. As for the other point of view, the Royal Academy of Sciences is the majority, and they have come up with some experimental results as a basis, arguing that such a virus molecule is not artificially created, but a naturally occurring new type of molecule, and there is great accident. ”

"Got the molecular diagram, right? Show me. Cillin spoke up.

The robot's eyes flashed, and two beams of light shot out of the machine's eyes, converging into a three-dimensional image in front of him. The effect is the structure of a virus with an advanced variant, and the molecular diagram of all the atoms that make up the virus is clearly revealed. Conformational map of a single-chain virus molecule.

The DNA of the human body is a double-stranded helix, which is relatively stable, but the stability of a single-stranded like this is much worse, let alone this single-stranded virus.

Pointing to a black circle in the molecular diagram, Sirin asked, "What does this represent?" ”

"Unknown substance."

"Don't have a clue?"

"No, this is a substance that has never been seen before, the people of the Royal Academy of Sciences and the research group in the black viper have not come up with effective information until now, but they have all pointed out that in order to understand this substance, it is necessary to start with the original body of the virus, but until now the primary variant in the virus samples obtained has only accounted for a very small part, and the original body has not been seen at all."

It is for this reason that the people at the Institute of Virology of the Royal Academy of Sciences deny conspiracy theories in favor of the naturally formed view. However, at a time like this, is it useful to argue about these? Either way, there has been no progress on either side.

"Pass me all the information about this zebra virus." Cillin opened the communicator in his hand, which had a confidential reception function and could store the information he had measured.

The robot did not refuse, and directly passed all the things and information it knew to Xilin.

"You came to this planet because you found a virus carrier?"

"It's not confirmed, it's just tracking, because of this wedding, there are nobles from the Eleventh Star Domain coming out, although the Eleven Star Domain is now closed, but there is still leniency for the upper nobles, when they came out and scanned and detected, they didn't find the infected virus, but the above let us follow up and observe, and take measures as soon as someone is found to be infected."

Cillin nodded, "Then who are you following?" Where are you now? ”

The robot said the individual. This man was one of the people who later entered that room.

"Keep watching, and let me know if anything happens."

"Okay."

Xilin waved his hand, and the robot's figure faded again.

Cillin stood outside for a moment, digesting the information the robot had passed to him. Then he returned to the room, which was still noisy, Nayimi and a few people were talking about "vegetable cakes", and Yuan Xingming and a few others also talked about the glorious deeds of making a lot of pocket money by betting on the speeding competition.

Because of Beeller's care, when Sirin left, Libero and Lunani were not embarrassed by the others, but met a few friends who could talk, and they were chatting in a new place.

As for the gray cat. This guy can have a good time, and sometimes he coaxes Yuan Xingming a few times, but at that time, his ears flicked from time to time to tell Xilin that this guy has actually been paying attention to the surrounding movements, including Xilin's going to see the robot and the conversation between them.

Saw Cillin come in. The gray cat stopped eating the snacks on the plate, jumped on Cillin's shoulder and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Let's take a look first, and study that thing after the wedding."

The gray cat looked absent-minded, its paws clumped, scratching the clothes on Cillin's shoulders. After hesitating for a long time, he held back: "I think it's better for you not to get involved." ”

"Why?" Xilin walked to the sofa and lay down, kicking aside Yuan Xingming, who was flushed with alcohol and was about to come over and pull people to drink together.

"I think this virus is dangerous."

"Even you think it's dangerous?"

"No, I'm sure I'll be able to resist, the robots aren't afraid of me, what am I afraid of? But you can't. You are completely organic, and this virus is different from what you have been exposed to before. Especially the unknown substance, I can't figure out what it is. The gray cat said with his ears drooping.

Silin was silent. The gray cat had an idea with Guan Feng, but Xilin didn't want to avoid it like that.

"Hey, Xilin, okay if you don't care about that? It's a big deal, we don't want the leader of the black viper, and we can be a free hunter. "Greycat misses his old life in the Covenant.

Cillin took the gray cat off his shoulders and scratched its chin, "Want to go back?" ”

"Well, some miss them." The gray cat tilted its head and bared its chin for Sirin to scratch.

Xilin naturally understands who the "they" in the gray cat's mouth are, why wouldn't he want to? But I can't go back.

While scratching the gray cat's chin, Cillin's mind returned to the zebra virus. From the information that the robot wore to him, Xilin learned that now the black viper has collected high-activity virus samples collected from 10,000 patients, but more than half of the 10,000 high-activity viruses obtained are high-level variants of zebra virus, and most of the rest are intermediate-level variants.

Whether it is synthesized or naturally formed, the more advanced the virus mutates, the more it will cover up the original formation method, and the analysis configuration diagram and analysis diagram of the primary variant are not available to this robot, if you want to know, Xilin must come forward to ask for it in person, however, once you come forward to ask for the information of the primary mutant virus, Xilin is really involved in this work.

Xilin is not afraid or rejects this kind of research work, but I am afraid that Guan Feng is not the only one who opposes Xilin's involvement.

I think it is, if it is really a high-risk virus, if something happens to Xilin, there will be no one who can replace Xilin, at least at this stage, no suitable person has been found, even if it is not familiar with Xilin, other people of the black viper may not agree, their opposition will not shake Xilin much, after all, Xilin is also one of the three giants of the black viper, but it may be troublesome at that time, and there will definitely be no less delaying the policy or something.

"Hey, Cillin, what do you think so distracted?!" Biller squeezed Yuan Xingming away, hooked his shoulders and leaned over to tell Xilin about the few beauties he had just seen with good figures.

Xilin listened with a smile, and said to Biler that he wanted to introduce a few to Xilin, Xilin refused, he was not used to the nobles' set, it felt like selling his body, those aristocratic women looked at the eyes of Yuan Xingming and Xilin thought of the wolves in the forest, and always felt awkward. If it weren't for the three of Yuan Xingming's uncertain temperament outside, those few would probably come to a bully and force them to do it.

Xilin has been paying attention to the movements of the robots, although the gray cat is very reluctant to Xilin to get involved, but the movements of those robots it should always pay attention to, the gray cat wonders in his heart, if the infected person is found, is it to kick Xilin unconscious and drag him back to let the second grandfather and master lock him up, or to come to the soft pretending to be sick policy?

Anyway, the past two days have been relatively peaceful, with Nayimi racing and talking to a few speeding enthusiasts about their thoughts and experiences, and nothing major has happened.

In this way, the wedding finally began, when Xilin gave the gift, he was with Yuan Xingming, and several core figures of the Lore family and the Gleason family who received him smiled so much that chrysanthemums bloomed on their faces, and they didn't dare to fight with Yuan Xingming's ideas, but they still dared to do Xilin's idea, after all, there is still a difference between the treatment of those with royal blood and those without royal blood.

As soon as he saw the faces of those people smiling meaningfully and excessively kindly, Xilin was furious, and found a reason to go out and gasp. But before Xilin could catch his breath, the communicator rang.

Looking at the character code on the communicator, Xilin connected: "Guan Dao, what's the matter?" ”! ~!
