Chapter 181: Research Results
When Shen Chen and the others returned to the base in two transport vehicles full of goods, they were naturally warmly welcomed by everyone in the base.
It turned out that the people at the base happily stepped forward to carry the goods one by one, and you could see how happy they were in their hearts from their demeanor.
In order to thank Shen Chen and them, Zhang Kuo deliberately vacated a single room in the base and used Shen Chen as a laboratory, which Shen Chen would certainly not refuse.
After carrying the experimental equipment, Professor Wang took his students and began to study them.
The two of them stayed in the lab for days on end, not knowing what they were doing, and only came out a few times during meals.
Shen Chen was very curious about this, and repeatedly asked for hope to go in and have a look, but he was rejected by Professor Wang with righteous words, and the reason was very simple, that is, he was afraid that Shen Chen and them would make trouble.
Shen Chen also went with him, and took advantage of this effort Shen Chen and they used the tools in the base to renovate the vehicles of themselves and others, and at the same time simply modified the transport vehicles that had newly joined the team.
During this period, Shen Chen also planned to select some people to join the team in the base, after all, there are more vehicles in the team now, and the manpower needed will naturally increase, otherwise it will be difficult to hold these materials.
But now the remaining survivors in the base are some old and weak women and children, first of all, it is not whether they are willing to go outside with Shen Chen to take risks, even if they are willing, Shen Chen does not dare to recruit into the team, after all, these people who join the team say something unpleasant, even if they are a group of burdens.
The only thing that could make Shen Chen look at it was Zhang Kuo's original armed police member, but Shen Chen knew that Zhang Kuo would definitely not release anyone to him, so he dispelled this idea.
A few days later, Professor Wang and Qin Yu, who were tired and haggard and dirty, found Shen Chen with an experimental report.
Seeing the two of them come out together, Shen Chen knew that the research must have results.
Immediately, he became excited, "Professor Wang! How did you have a result? ”
Professor Wang's face showed a look, not knowing whether he was happy or worried, and reached out and took out a jar of blue liquid from the pocket of his white coat.
Seeing the blue glass tube in Professor Wang's hand, Shen Chen was first overjoyed, and then he looked puzzled, knowing that the TX virus stock solution he had injected before was dark yellow.
"Professor Wang, is this?" Shen Chen asked.
"In the past few days, according to my research and Qin Yu's research, I finally figured out why there was a white mist on that Min T1's head." Professor Wang's answer to the question was not the answer.
"What is the reason? Professor Wang, you say! ”
"We all know that whether it is an ordinary zombie or a high-level zombie, their bodies have a strong self-healing ability, and the reason why they have this terrifying self-healing power is because the TX virus in the zombie will carry a large amount of energy substances attached to the wound, thereby speeding up the recovery of the wound.
It's the same as your body's ability to heal itself, but it's your own energy that you consume.
To put it simply, after the zombie brain is destroyed, a large number of TX viruses in the body will pour into the brain, but once the human brain is damaged, it is difficult to repair.
In order for the host to "come back to life", the accumulation of the TX virus in the brain will continue to increase. As I said before, once the virus reaches a certain concentration, then a white haze similar to antibodies is created in the air.
This is the reason why white fog will form near the brain after a period of time after the zombie dies, and of course, not all zombies will induce white fog to appear.
After our continuous experiments in the past few days, we found that only the virus concentration in the zombie itself reaches a certain level, and to achieve this condition, at least zombies above T1 can do.
Of course, there are exceptions, and the white mist produced by the corpse of the zombie cat you will come to two days ago is much thicker than that of T1. ”
"Then Professor Wang, since you have the white mist, does it mean that you can make TX virus stock solution again, is it the one you have in your hand? But I don't think the color is right! Shen Chen couldn't help but interrupt Professor Wang's words and asked.
"Hey! It seems that you have also discovered that what I am holding in my hand is not the TX virus stock solution you injected earlier, but the antibodies to the TX virus! ”
"What! Antibody! Shen Chen exclaimed.
"Not bad! It's antibodies! Professor Wang nodded and replied.
"Look at it!"
Professor Wang handed the bottle to the past.
Shen Chen carefully took the bottle, put it in front of him and carefully took a large number of it, the blue liquid inside looked as pure as a sapphire and very beautiful.
Returning the vial to Professor Wang, Shen Chen asked curiously, "Professor Wang, it's also a white mist, why is it an antibody made this time, instead of the stock solution?" ”
"Hey! Actually, I'm also a little disappointed, after all, if the virus stock solution can be synthesized again, then humans will have to evolve, and it will be much easier to destroy these zombies.
There are two reasons why the original solution cannot be synthesized, one of which is that I told you in the research institute before that the premise of synthesizing the original solution is that a large amount of unknown Z substance in the white mist is required, and obviously the amount of white mist on the zombie body obviously cannot meet this condition.
The second is that the white fog produced by these zombies seems to be a little different from the white fog that filled the air before. ”
"Oh! What's the difference? ”
"Let's put it this way! The white fog before the end of the world is mainly produced to purify and suppress the TX virus, and this time the white fog on the zombie's body, after our research, found that it is constantly destroying the TX virus, this discovery surprised me and Qin Yu.
So we began to study this white fog, and the more we studied, the more surprised we became, after the virus was killed by the white fog, it would produce a substance similar to a silkworm cocoon in the zombie brain.
After our research, we found that there are still a large number of enzymes that can destroy the virus in these substances, so we extracted and synthesized this substance to have such an antibody. ”
"Does that mean that with this antibody, we don't have to worry about being hurt by zombies anymore?"
"We can't say that, we have experimented, and this antibody in our hand can only deal with some cases of being injured by ordinary zombies, and the injured person can't have too many viruses in his body, otherwise it will be useless even if the antibody is injected.
If you are injured by a zombie above T1, this antibody will not have any effect, and at most it can only delay the mutation time. ”
"Why is this happening?"
"This time is too short, there is still time to study, and the sample is too small to get accurate data."
Hearing this, Shen Chen was slightly disappointed, but after thinking about it, it is better to have antibodies than not to have them, at least they are still injured by ordinary zombies now that they still have a glimmer of life.
