On the other hand, Merlin also spoke with Stark again to discuss the research on the T virus.

"How's your research going?" In the laboratory of the military base, Stark, who was wearing dustproof clothing, looked at the Merlin projection in front of him and asked.

"The invasion of the virus is thwarted by the body's immune system, and the damage of the immune system requires a lot of food and energy, so I fused it with the cells of the leech." With a wave of his palm, Merlin picked up a test tube projection containing a blue liquid.

However, some of the people who were injected began to cough, sneeze or itch like a rash, and after examination, the virus still attacked the cells and tissues of the infected people. Immediately after the flesh decays, the virus invades the brain, the body's energy proteins cannot keep up, and the person will gradually become a rabies-like patient. ”

"Moreover, after the injection of T virus, cell division can be accelerated, metabolism can be accelerated, so that although the physique will also be strengthened to be different from ordinary people, it also accelerates mitochondrial damage, accelerates aging, and reduces lifespan."

"Our goal is to alter or destroy the infected virus cells in the body." Merlin paused one last time and looked at Stark.

"Yes, if in the early stage of infection with the T virus, after activating the dead cells, we are trying to destroy them and restore them to a normal person's body, so that the disease can also be treated." Stark snapped in agreement.

The T virus is only not deeply invaded in the early stage, and it is expected to be eliminated in the first stage.

But in the second stage, the virus infects all the cells of the human body, and after the central nervous system is damaged, it is basically hopeless.

The serum has been studied, but what they want to do is to combine the effect of the serum with the effect of the virus to complete the mass-produced super drug!

At present, there are still too few enhancement potions on the platform, and there are no cheap and numerous enhancement potions, which is a blank area, and Stark wants to fill this gap with the help of the T virus after researching the serum.

"Where are you in your research now?" He asked curiously.

"Drugs to increase immune support have been found, and allicin has a certain anti-virus effect, but it cannot be completely eliminated. Now the main thing is to develop specific drugs that can destroy the genetic material of the virus. Merlin waved his hand, and the projection of the potion in his hand vanished, replaced by a piece of helical cell assemblage data.

Since it's a virus, there's always a way to kill it.

As a result, current agents have begun to be used in rodents.

Rodents, apparently, use guinea mice for our experiments.

There are 30,000 to 40,000 genes in mice, 90% of which are the same as humans, which can minimize experimental errors and make the experimental results accurate and reliable.

And the lactation period is short, the reproduction is fast, and it is not affected by the season.

Therefore, mice are the most important and indispensable part of the experiment.

Merlin said, and projected the experimental data of the T virus injected into the mice.

It can be seen from the screen of the instrument that the virus began to infect the chromosomes of the mouse after it invaded its body, and the genetic factors inside began to change and recombine, but not quickly.

Then, sensing the invasion of the virus, for better or worse, the immune system began to function and began a suicidal fight.

But the immune system is clearly not keeping up with the rate at which the virus is infecting.

And this is probably still the incubation period, and it will start to enter the second stage after the immune system completely collapses.

At the same time as the immune system collapses, the virus continues to multiply, the metabolism continues to accelerate, the energy supply in the body is insufficient, the fur begins to fall off and rot, and the bone begins to soften.

Then, in the third stage, the virus begins to invade the brain, and the mind begins to become confused, and according to the body's instinct to take in energy, it unconsciously ingests all the proteins around it.

Then, in the fourth stage, if there is no protein intake, the body slowly only has autonomic nervous system remaining, and it begins to return to instinctive evolution of smell and hearing.

Although the side effects of the T virus are very large, if the side effects can be solved, then this virus can cure most of the world's diseases, people with disabilities can get up again through injections, and patients with genetic diseases can be injected with viruses to speed up metabolism and activate dead cells in the body.

With energy intake, viral cells continue to evolve. Cells such as mitochondria and telomeres in the body may also be affected. In terms of lifespan, there is a high probability that it will be reduced.

"The next thing is the experimental data on the ratio of serum to virus."

Merlin waved his hand again, but this time directly from the side, projecting his own experimental scene.

In the projection screen, in the vast laboratory, Merlin took out a 4.5:5.5 ratio agent and injected it into the body of the mouse.

About half an hour into the clock, the mice began to have some flu symptoms.

Merlin increased the serum ratio, injected it into the other mouse, and threw it back into its cage.

The mouse that was thrown back into its cage gradually stabilized, and the data showed that the virus cells in its body were gradually killed, but it seems that the serum dose was too much, and many cells that were not infected by the virus were also killed.

…………

Nearly 190 tests have been carried out, and the effect of the fusion ratio agent is still not perfect.

One of the problems is that it is difficult for the T virus to cross the two major lifespan problems of the human body, terminal particles and mitochondria.

Only after the virus completely infects all the cells of the human body, the genetic recombination changes, these two are not a problem.

But apparently, humans can rarely tolerate the fusion of T virus infection.

…………

"That's the end of my research...... Merlin said as he turned off the projection and spread his hands helplessly.

Listening to Merlin's eloquent conversation, Stark looked at his newly started mouse test subject and fell into deep thought.

I fell so far behind.

"Ahem......" Just as he coughed lightly twice and was about to speak, an emergency communication suddenly came in.

"I'll go answer the phone first." Stark held out his hand to ask Merlin to wait, then immediately picked up his phone and ran out of the lab.

…………

It wasn't long before Stark was back in the lab, but his face was grim.

"What's going on?" Seeing the other party's face, Merlin also knew what the other party had just talked about.

"The plague broke out in Florida, and this time the virus was weird and more difficult than the T-virus. Stark pulled up the scene and saw strange humanoids scurrying around the streets.

Some are like Hulks, with hideous muscles, like a small mountain of meat.

Others are like branches, their bodies are dry, and their flesh is like vines spreading out.

Some are holding a long second brother......

The whole city was in shambles......
