Chapter 120: Feng Shui and Medicine
On the square in front of the Binhai Building, on the monitoring screen in the temporarily built headquarters, the figure of the bacilli, which looked round and full of clumsy breath, was clearly presented in front of Lu Ming through the shooting of the camera equipment installed in the microscope.
Lu Ming looked at it carefully, watching it wriggle clumsily and move forward slowly.
At the same time, another monitoring screen shows changes in the position of Professor Shen's team, including the observation table where the microscope is located. Lu Ming saw that the entire observation platform was placed on a special shock-absorbing platform, and then followed the footsteps of Professor Shen and others, and left directly from the gate of Binhai Building and came to the square outside.
At the moment when the microscope left the Binhai Building, I don't know if it was an illusion or what, Lu Ming suddenly felt that the peristalsis speed of this bacillus seemed to have slowed down a bit.
Because its original movements were extremely slow, and the naked eye was not precise enough, Lu Ming couldn't be sure if this was true. He could only continue to observe carefully.
The group left the Marina Building and walked along the square to the periphery, ready to undergo the disinfection procedure. As a result, the microscope is getting farther and farther away from the Marina Building.
So Lu Ming was very shocked to confirm that under the camera, the bacillus that had been slowly wriggling was ...... Its movement speed has indeed slowed. Even, after being far enough away, it didn't move.
It came to a complete stop.
Not only that, when the microscope was carried by Professor Shen's team after the sterilization, it left the square, and after being hundreds of meters away from the main building of the Binhai Building, it was completely presented in front of Lu Ming's eyes, and the bacillus that had not moved had changed again.
It's slowly melting.
It's like a grain of salt or a grain of sugar is put in water, and it slowly dissolves in the liquid. The outer layer of its cells disappeared, and the internal tissue fluid seeped out, merging with the surrounding fluid, so it completely disappeared from Lu Ming's field of vision.
Thinkers
Lu Ming stood up, his heart full of shock.
It's true...... Is it true that you will die as soon as you leave the Marina Building?
"Professor Shen, stop, stop first."
Hearing Lu Ming's voice, Professor Shen was stunned, waved his hand to stop the staff, and stood still at the edge of the square.
"What's the matter?"
"You go and take a look at that bacillus."
Professor Shen didn't dare to slack off, and immediately took off his photographic equipment and put his eyes on the microscope. After looking at it for a moment, he carefully moved the field of view of the camera, carefully searching for the figure of the bacillus.
In the process, he discovered a large number of other bacilli that looked almost indistinguishable. But upon further observation, he confirmed that they were just immobile bacilli and not his latest discovery.
After this, he simply changed to one of the remaining specimens and continued to observe. After finding nothing, I changed another one.
The rest of the specimens also have this bacillus. I had already confirmed this when I was in the Marina Building.
After a long time, he raised his head, his face full of doubt.
"Gone, all gone."
"This is the picture I just shot, you can come and take a look."
Professor Shen hurriedly came to the temporary headquarters, and Lu Ming replayed the footage he had taken earlier.
When he saw the whole process of the bacillus dissolving and disappearing, Professor Shen's face was even more puzzled.
"Hmm...... It is possible that other factors are responsible. At present, this bacillus should be the type that dissolves and disappears after death, and the cause of its death may be environmental changes, such as temperature, light, or contamination by some sensitive substances in the external environment. It's not strange, it's not strange. ”
"Professor Shen, please go and take some more specimens, and try to keep the environment inside the specimens consistent with the environment in the Marina Building. On this premise, try again to take it out of the Marina Building. ”
"Okay."
Several smart specimen boxes were quickly retrieved. This time, Professor Shen carefully set the environmental parameters for these smart specimen boxes to ensure that they are consistent with the internal environment of the Marina Building.
Although the hall on the first floor is open at the moment, and there is direct communication with the outside world, theoretically there should be no environmental differences between the two, and even if there is, it is very small, and there should not be any perceptible impact on the survival of living organisms.
However, in order to ensure rigor, Professor Shen still solemnly completed this series of processes.
Microscopes, cameras, etc., are placed in the smart specimen box.
This time, he dared to guarantee that the environment inside the smart specimen box was the same as that in the lobby on the first floor of the Marina Building.
After that, the group left the Marina Building once again with the microscope. And Lu Ming watched the whole process again in the temporary headquarters.
He saw Professor Shen and the others walk out of the gate of the Marina Building. So, once again, he saw that the bacillus was moving slower. When Professor Shen and the others once again finished the disinfection procedure and walked to the edge of the square with the sealed specimen box again, Lu Ming once again saw the process of the extinction of this bacillus.
Once again, it dissolved in the culture and disappeared completely. At the same time, the only bacilli that died dissolved were still the newly discovered bacilli. The rest of the microorganisms were unaffected.
"Professor Shen, come back."
Professor Shen hurried over. After watching the replay, he was shocked.
"How is this possible? What's going on? What factors caused their deaths? ”
What happened in front of him almost challenged his cognitive bottom line.
"This can't be, this ...... Could it be a magnetic field? Illumination? Some kind of radiation? ”
Faced with this bizarre situation, Professor Shen was obviously not reconciled. From a professional point of view, he proposed more possibilities with lower probabilities and was ready to try them immediately.
Validating these unconventional ideas requires a variety of sophisticated equipment. Lu Ming did not shirk, directly coordinated the matter, and let Professor Shen and others verify it one by one.
But he himself is not very hopeful.
Because, there was already a corollary sufficient to explain these phenomena, which was already in his mind before the discovery of this completely new type of bacteria.
Zhenlong pile.
It was the Zhenlong Pile that prevented Lou Shen from breaking free from the shackles of the Marina Building, and because of the unknown connection between this bacillus and Lou Shen, this bacillus could not leave the Marina Building.
As soon as you leave, you will die.
At the beginning, it was precisely because of this conjecture that Lu Ming insisted that Professor Shen's team set up a biological laboratory directly inside the Binhai Building, where he directly checked for the existence of new microorganisms.
Now, his conjecture has been tentatively verified.
He picked up the communicator.
"Captain, He Wei, Qingliang, I have made a major discovery here."
Soon after, Zhang Dingshan and He Wei returned to the headquarters. Lu Qingliang's figure also appeared in the video screen.
When Lu Ming recounted the recent discovery and played the death of the bacillus, several people fell silent at the same time.
No one thought that Lu Ming's slightly ridiculous inference at the beginning would really be confirmed at this moment.
There really is such a bacterium, and it will die as soon as it leaves the Marina Building.
"Professor Shen, they are still doing the final verification. But I don't think it will come to fruition. In the next step, I plan to move more sophisticated equipment to the Marina Building, where I will carry out microbial experiments directly to cultivate this bacillus, analyze its body composition, do genetic sequencing on it, and study whether it can actually secrete phobic toxins. ”
Zhang Dingshan nodded silently.
Lu Qingliang was still in shock at the moment.
"Fuck it, it's better than disinfectant lamps and antibiotics. This town dragon pile is so powerful...... You say, if we figure out how this dragon pile works, maybe we'll get some kind of medical award or something. ”
The feng shui formation recorded in ancient books is inexplicably connected with the most advanced modern medicine. This kind of thing, no matter where you look at it, from which angle, and who you look at, is full of absurdity. But in the face of solid evidence, no matter how much they resist in their hearts, the only thing they can do is to accept this reality.
In the following time, Lu Ming watched Professor Shen and others mobilize a large number of professional testing facilities to do as detailed testing as possible on the internal and external environment of the Binhai Building. But as a result, there is no meaningful difference between the inside and outside of the building, whether it is radiation or magnetic fields, whether it is air pressure or temperature or humidity, whether it is air composition or background noise.
The natural environment is constantly changing. Just like a person's movement, it can also cause a slight change in air density and nearby atmospheric pressure, but to say that this change can cause any noticeable environmental difference is nonsense.
This change is clearly not significant.
After a busy moment, Professor Shen finally had to admit that he really couldn't find the real reason why the bacillus would die as soon as it left the Marina Building.
In this regard, Lu Ming had already expected it.
"Professor Shen, don't look for a reason yet. Now, I need to know the biology of this new bacilli. The more comprehensive, the better. Well, I will transfer all the equipment needed to build a professional biology laboratory. ”
"Okay."
Faced with this situation, Professor Shen had no choice but to agree.
At this time, a slightly obese middle-aged man walked over to Lu Ming.
"Hello Sergeant Lu, I was ordered to report to you."
"Okay." Lu Ming nodded and looked at Professor Shen: "Let me introduce, this is Professor Wang Zhiwang, a biochemist." This is Professor Shen Leishen, a microbiologist. The rest of the work needs to be done with your cooperation. I need to know if the phobic toxin is secreted by this new bacilli. ”
