Chapter 158

Just as everyone was discussing the solution, Yang Weiwei suddenly said in a tone of extreme shock: "Everyone, now we have to face an even more difficult problem. Just now www.biquge.info Nigerian authorities forwarded Niger's latest threat to us. They claim to have mastered the Ebola variant, and I think this is the last weight they can be so arrogant, and it seems that bacteriological warfare is not far away. ”

Hearing that the Nigerien authorities had mastered the Ebola virus, the faces of everyone attending the meeting changed, some were shocked, some were incredulous, and Tang Xueyan even jumped up in her chair.

This kind of hellfire, which has cursed mankind in this world for more than 300 years, has left mankind helpless, although technology is advancing with each passing day, but for Ebola, the devil's most loyal believer, mankind has always faced its existence with extreme fear.

For humans, one or two cases of Ebola may be curable, but if it spreads like a plague to the whole country, or even the whole of Central Africa, then even the hand of God is helpless.

Chen Xinyao saw the pale expression on Tang Xueyan's face, so he stood up and said to the people present: "Now it seems that Mr. Pierre can't get rid of this war, and now the meeting is adjourned, I think the most important task now is to contact our partners, we must reach a consensus with them in order to fight the devil." ”

Chen Xinyao did not immediately consult with Pierre and the others after leaving the conference room, the first place he came to was the tavern on the beach of Mahado Island, where he met Julie as he wished. Julie was not surprised by Chen's sudden visit. When Chen Xinyao talked about the crisis that Niger is now encountering in a very anxious mood, Julie sat aside and listened patiently.

Chen Xinyao saw that Julie only listened to what he didn't listen to, but didn't express his opinions, so he was a little impatient and directly stated the purpose of the trip. He told Julie that he had come here to help him solve the dilemma he was facing.

Because in response to the announcement by the Nigerien authorities that they would use the Ebola virus in their wars, Nigeria and other neighboring countries have set off large-scale demonstrations against OTWC.

The people who marched believed that the Ebola virus had been brought by the Blue Bird Country, which threatened their lives. The local population demanded that the OTWC get out of the way in the area where they lived, and also demanded that the Blue Bird Country be held accountable for the military aggression in Niger. As the situation deteriorated almost instantaneously, and for safety reasons, Yang Weiwei ordered all subsidiaries in Africa to close their doors, and the senior staff of the subsidiaries of the subsidiaries were either on paid leave or went to other countries for training, and a total of 100,000 workers were laid off on the spot, until the situation subsided.

This information was all learned by Chen Xinyao on the way back to the Blue Bird Country, and the massive amount of information and complex forms made Chen Xinyao feel unprecedented pressure on his body. The only thing he can do now is to get help from Julie, which is why Chen Xinyao is a little impatient after meeting Julie.

Seeing that Chen Xinyao was a little anxious, Julie sat opposite Chen Xinyao and said with a smile: "Although I am not interested in politics, I am not interested in the Ebola virus. You have to know that when dealing with a virus, whether it is new or old, as a professional, you have to start with the host where it starts. We must know how it came about, how it is contagious, and how harmful it will be, and this is the key to solving our problems. As for the virus itself, although our extraterrestrial technology is much ahead of human technology, for the virus that came out of nowhere, we only have three hundred years of understanding of viruses like Ebola and human beings themselves. ”

Hearing Julie's answer, Chen Xinyao said a little anxiously: "Isn't there even a way for you to control the spread of this virus, you must know that this virus is like the flu, it spreads faster than other viruses, and the death time is only 2 to 20 days." In the case of an overload of medical resources, the lethal time of this virus is greatly reduced, and that situation is terrible. ”

Hearing Chen Xinyao's concern, Julie said calmly: "We investigated the way they obtained the Ebola virus bacteria, and it is ironic to say that the source of their bacteria is actually a small tribe in Chad. This tribe has a long tradition of cremation after death, unlike other races. Their traditional culture is to place the bodies of relatives and friends in their sacrificial pits. It was a sulfur crater formed 10 million years ago, and you could also say it was an extinct volcanic crater from the ancient world. The depth of the pit was about 200 meters and it was covered with sulphurous material. The people of that tribe felt that their ancestors came from the pit, so when people died, they would be thrown into the pit, and it has been 300 Earth years since the first case of Ebola was known to humans. Those carriers of the Ebola virus have been in the pit for 300 years. After the old corpses decompose, the new ones provide a better breeding ground for these viruses. It's like yeast used by humans, in fact, all viruses are the same, when conditions allow, when the environment allows, they will form colonies. Scientists in Niger risked their lives to scrape off some Ebola colonies in the pit, which of course could be placed on missile warheads, which would become bacteriological bombs. ”

Listening to Julie's description, Chen Xinyao said a little anxiously: "I know that they will put these viruses on the bomb, and the question now is how to deal with the Ebola virus." You know that now the space program has been affected by this incident, and I can't continue to work, and if I continue like this, I'll have to be laid off. ”

Hearing that Chen Xinyao was about to be laid off, Julie laughed. After taking a sip of fresh orange juice, Julie continued: "The Ebola virus was first hosted by the cannibal peaks of the African rainforest, and their production is related to the genes that control the digestive and nervous systems in the cannibal peaks. According to us, it is a corrosive parasite, and the presence of this bacterium is beneficial for the cannibal peak. In the food-starved Salaha Desert, these cannibal peaks also risk sucking the blood of African gorillas and other animals to survive. Some Ebola viruses are transmitted to chimpanzees through blood, and they find new hosts in some chimpanzees with weak antibodies, and genetic mutations and DNA make them lethal Ebola viruses. It's like a child, certain circumstances make him a good person, and certain circumstances can make him a bad person, because it doesn't belong here fundamentally. It has not found natural predators in its new host that inhibit its reproduction, so it makes sense that it is wreaking havoc. ”

"The Ebola virus that travels to chimpanzees is almost the same as the Ebola virus that travels to humans, and they also harm the host's liver, spleen, and other blood supply organs, and of course have some effect on the 22 autosomes of humans. It's almost exactly like having a tank of docile tropical fish in your house and one day you suddenly catch a piranha in it. The human immune system confronted the invading Ebola virus, and the invasion war eventually consumed the entire body's lymphatic immune tissue, and finally human beings could only wait for death under unclean blood circulation. ”

Listening to Julie's description of the Ebola virus, Chen Xinyao asked a little unwillingly: "Can't we find a way to deal with the Ebola virus now?" Could it be that in the face of it, we can only be caught? ”

"There is no feasible and effective way, whether it is us or human beings, the developed vaccines are lagging behind the virus. Especially for this invasive alien species, the effect of our vaccines on them is not very obvious. It's like human beings know that they have 22 pairs of autosomes and a pair of sex chromosomes, but what they don't know is that the DNA chain in each pair of chromosomes is always being updated, and these DNA are repairing and updating themselves in order to better adapt to the environment. With that, Julie got up and walked towards the locker at the other end of the room.
