Chapter 56: Viruses and Anatomy

Aragorn shook the test tube in his hand, the cloudy liquid hanging from the wall of the tube, and a slightly flattened leech with a green and black back could be seen.

His expression was heavy, and he looked at the test tube for a long time without speaking.

The leeches were found from the depths of the Onuma and carry a virus that causes the immune system of infected people to collapse. All infected samples will have lesions on the skin within a day, bleeding easily, pus oozing from the erosions that form after cracking, and the wound will not heal on its own.

Mentor Aemond personally took a few first-class apprentices to the depths of the swamp to collect a large number of leeches, and they built a miniature swamp in the laboratory to simulate the living environment of leeches, and finally cultivated a single individual with the most stable effect.

Not counting manpower and time, the magic stone cost a full seven hundred, half of the budget for this quarter.

"It's a pity...," Aragorn shook his head and said to the crowd, "I propose to give up research on the leech virus directly, it can't be integrated into witchcraft through energy, it can't hurt wizards at all, and it would be a waste of time to continue researching." ”

"Maybe there's another way? The leech virus is so powerful that everyone can see it. One of the apprentices said reluctantly, unwilling to give up.

"Hmph, it's easy to say, the method of energizing the carrier is still handed down from the Wizarding Alliance. We're just apprentices, how can we do something that even a full-fledged wizard can't do. The other apprentice said mercilessly, raising his hands, "I agree to give up, and besides, isn't there a new batch of samples sent in today? ”

Kevin listened quietly and didn't say anything, he had only been on the side for a month, and he was still playing soy sauce most of the time before.

"I agree. ”

"Me too. “

As the chorus grew, everyone gradually came to an agreement, and then looked at their mentor Edmond together.

Mentor Edmund, who had not participated in the discussion, nodded and instructed lightly: "You throw all the samples and culture medium of the leech virus into the incinerator, and save the data and experiment reports in the second data room. ”

Everyone immediately took action, with a clear division of labor, and soon cleaned up the messy laboratory.

"Are you alright?" Kevin asked as he walked over to Aragorn and said in a concerned tone.

The two of them have special statuses, and as students of Vodorik, they are not able to do ordinary hard work.

"Of course, this little setback is nothing. Aragorn replied with a smile, "When I was exploring the unknown, I was ready to hit a wall. ”

Kevin leaned against the laboratory table and asked with a sideways face, "Do you know what the sample sent today is?"

A hint of excitement flashed in Aragorn's eyes, and he said mysteriously: "Today's sample is different, you will know later." ”

Kevin raised his eyebrows, whether it was humanoid creatures such as centaurs and fishmen, or all kinds of plants, as long as the experiment required it, it could basically be obtained.

Aragorn has been in the lab for a few years now, and as a research maniac, what is the specimen that excites him all?

"Drop. ”

The red light in the buffer room came on, indicating that someone was being disinfected inside, presumably by the person transporting the samples.

"Click. ”

The door of the buffer room opened inward, and eight apprentices carried four sets of stretchers and walked out, the specimen wrapped in a white cloth, and a strong pungent smell came out.

"Gandos water!"

Kevin sniffed and sniffed out the source of the gas, which was a preservative.

He looked at the undulating figure under the white cloth and blurted out, "This is the human body?"

The laboratory has used many alien organisms as specimens, and some of them are even alive, but they have never been experimented with by their own family.

Kevin thought that this was the wizard's bottom line, and it seemed that he was thinking too much.

"Why are you so surprised, this is a dead body. Aragorn looked at Kevin's surprised face and explained: "There is a plague in a principality near the academy, the fatality rate is extremely high, and there is no residual magic fluctuation on the corpse, which is suspected to be a virus infection. ”

"The academy's law enforcement team was going to destroy all the corpses, so I wanted them to keep a few corpses down. ”

"Normally, only official wizards are allowed to experiment with human beings, but this is a special case. ”

For ordinary people, infected with an unknown plague, they can basically wait to die. Wizards and Bloodline will only kill all the infected with thunder at the first time, ensuring that no more people will be infected, and when the source of the spread cannot be determined, they will destroy the entire city.

Several major plagues in history have been solved in this way, cruel to cruel, but the control effect is very good.

Anyway, human beings are as resilient as weeds, and it won't take a few years to reproduce.

Wizards may develop an antidote, but only if the virus can be successfully used in curse science, they will only consider saving people.

In other words, as long as the virus doesn't pose a threat to wizards, they won't care at all.

"And...," Aragorn thought for a moment, but didn't continue, "Forget it, when the plan is confirmed, the mentor should tell you." ”

"What plan?" Kevin was a little puzzled, but didn't ask.

After the corpse was placed on the test table, Edmund lifted the white cloth, and after cryopreservation surgery, the deceased's body remained intact, with a large number of dark spots on his skin, and his expression was extremely painful.

Everyone used mental power to probe the body of the deceased, and if they wanted to extract the virus, they must first know the cause of death and remove the diseased tissue.

Edmund released an isolation technique, reached out and pried open the deceased's teeth, and observed for a while: "The law enforcement team said that every patient had a high fever and mental confusion before he died, and the diseased tissue was likely to be Kuibe. ”

"But to be on the safe side, all the internal organs have to be dissected. ”

The internal structure of the human body in this world is relatively special, with some extra organs, and Kuibe is one of them.

Edmund divided the group into four groups and dissected them at the same time, while Kevin joined a group with Aragorn.

Kevin gave the body a brief physical examination, recorded the data, and stood aside to watch the Aragonese show.

Aragorn took a scalpel from the shelf, but didn't start the operation, he smiled lightly and handed the scalpel over: "You can do it." ”

"Me?" Kevin said unexpectedly, taking the scalpel.

Aragorn nodded and blinked, "You've dissected centaurs a few times before, so you're experienced, and I'll be there to guide you." ”

"Okay..."Kevin turned his sharp scalpel with some anticipation in his eyes.

Aragorn patted Kevin on the shoulder and comforted: "Take it easy, when you practice once, even if you fail, the other three groups can complete the task." ”
