Chapter 650, Vaccine immunity

In the Imperial Palace, Li Fu held a piece of data, with a serious look on his face. Judging from the data obtained from various external space-time and ocean current channels, the situation is not too optimistic, because more or less Some people who were boarded were found, and the situation was more serious than expected.

Fortunately, the empire knew this in advance. If it weren't for Li Jinghui's major discovery, the empire might have already been infiltrated by parasites. With the powerful proliferation of parasites, the entire empire might soon fall.

"They were all discovered at the entrance of the space-time ocean current channel leading to the center of the Karawi world. A total of more than 5 boarders were found in 1000 ports, and all of them were caravans of the Fuyun Group, specializing in long-distance space trade. According to the situation, the spaceships should all be parasitized in the river system near the Blood Moon Empire, and the situation is not too bad."

Li Fu made a simple analysis of the data. As the empire closed its doors, all caravans outside the empire also began to be recalled urgently. No one was found in the business near the empire, but among the caravans trading in the far universe But found the person who was boarded.

"The notice continues. The caravans returning later must be inspected more carefully, especially those space caravans returning from river systems other than the League of Honor, and they must be inspected more carefully."

Li Fu thought for a while and gave another order, but at this time, be careful, be careful, be more careful.

"Brother Fu, the Honor League has contacted us to protest our unilateral blockade of the space-time ocean current channel for no reason."

Beside Li Fu, Yu Liang, Chen Bin, Cao Haitao and several other veterans were also present at this time.

"Hmph~ Let them protest, they don't even know when they're dying."

"Our empire has not signed any trade agreements with them, so we can block it if we want to, and we can do nothing."

Yu Liang snorted dissatisfied.

"The Blood Moon Empire has also contacted us through the Honor League, hoping that we can join them to join the team against the Zelgan Alliance. Now these parasitic creatures control more and more river systems, like a rolling snowball Come here."

"Now we can't trust anyone except ourselves. These river system civilizations and forces may have been almost controlled by these parasites. Ghosts dare to be with them."

Cao Haitao and Yu Liang were discussing with each other, and the others were also constantly thinking about the empire's coping strategies.

"Should we tell them about these parasites?"

"Tell them what to do? Let these Zergs know in advance? Now these bugs are in the open and we are in the dark. Once we notify them, these bugs will definitely know soon, and we will be exposed by then."

"Unless we can develop effective countermeasures, then we can really declare war on these bugs, otherwise, it would be better to delay now."

Li Fu has not said anything, and listened to the discussions and discussions. What makes Li Fu feel confident now is that he is very afraid that these bugs will penetrate into the empire and cause large-scale harm to the ordinary people of the empire. As for other things, he is not very worried.

"Let's go to the Imperial Institute of Biological Sciences."

Li Fu thought about it, and there was really no good way to do it. He was going to see the research progress of these insects at the Institute of Biological Scientists.

……

A secret research base of the Imperial Institute of Biological Sciences, a huge space city Here, the entire huge space city has been strictly guarded, and there are imperial space battleships guarding and supervising it all the time outside. Once the space city If an uncontrollable situation occurs here, the entire space city will be destroyed immediately.

In the space city, no matter in which direction, there are immortal masters of the empire sitting in command, and there are also a large number of advanced monks of the empire who are constantly checking here.

At the core of the space city, the elite biological scientists of the empire are constantly busy. Because they are worried about being controlled by insects, the scientists transferred here are all people with profound Yuanli cultivation. Yan Jia, Li Shukang, Jiang Xian He and other top biological scientists in the empire were also dispatched.

At this time, Li Shukuang was accompanying Li Fu, Yu Liang, Chen Bin and others to conduct inspections.

"At present, our progress is very fast, because we have living samples, coupled with Gu Yun's previous research results, our most important thing is to conduct research in three aspects."

"One is to study how strong the parasitic ability of these bugs is, and what kind of people can resist their boarding."

"The other is to develop an immune vaccine that allows ordinary people to be immune to insect parasites."

"The last thing is to develop a genetically targeted devil virus, a devil virus that specifically targets parasites, so that we can gain more advantages in the future war against these insects."

Li Shukuang gave a detailed introduction while leading the crowd to visit.

Everyone came to a laboratory. In each laboratory, people from the empire were imprisoned. These people were all volunteers to participate in the experiment. There were immortal masters and people with relatively shallow cultivation , all stages of Yuanli cultivation are available.

"Ah~"

"Woo~"

One after another voices came from the laboratory. The citizens of the empire with low cultivation were easily parasitized by the parasites with little resistance, their eyes turned scarlet, and there was an unpleasant cry in the voice.

As for those who are at an average level, they are constantly competing with parasites for control of their bodies. Their bodies convulse and twist, and at the same time they make painful sounds. The bugs in the body were forced out, and some of the eyes turned scarlet and strange after failure.

As for the advanced Yuanli monks, they are basically fine. Even if they are invaded into their bodies, they can easily force these bugs out with their strong and profound Yuanli, which is rarely easy.

"We have recruited more than 1 volunteers, including men, women, young and old, and people of all stages of cultivation. We found that the higher the cultivation level of Yuanli, the stronger the resistance to this bug. There is no need to worry about those above the Yuanshi level, but below the Yuanshi level, it is difficult to resist the erosion of this parasite."

Li Shukuang looked at the painful report in the laboratory and sighed. There is no way. If you don't carry out the experiment, you will never know the ability of the bug, so some sacrifices are necessary.

"Is there no way for the boarded person to be rescued?"

"No way, it's all about the brain being destroyed. The brain is the most vulnerable part of our body, and it's also the most mysterious place."

"You can arrange some experts to go there. Once you can't resist, you can help force the bugs out immediately, so as to reduce some deaths."

"Well, the experimental data is almost mastered, and there is no need to sacrifice any more."

Li Fu looked very sad looking at the painful faces. These volunteers are the most courageous people in the empire. Many of them are scientists from the Academy of Sciences. Now, for the sake of science, many people donate their lives without hesitation. This made Li Fu very sad, but he also knew that this was a necessary sacrifice.

"This is our immune vaccine research center. We are studying the characteristics of this parasite and want to find out their weaknesses so as to study the corresponding vaccines."

Soon, everyone came to the Vaccine Immunization Research Center. Everyone is familiar with vaccines. In fact, the principle of vaccines is very simple. Generally speaking, they can be divided into two types.

One is to remove the replication genes, that is, the reproduction genes, from the corresponding virus genes, and then transplant these viruses into the human body, so that the human body can produce corresponding antibodies. Because these viruses do not have the ability to reproduce, they will not reproduce indefinitely and cause harm to the human body .

The most representative of this type of vaccine is the hepatitis B virus vaccine. The hepatitis B virus vaccine removes the core RNA of virus replication, making the virus unable to replicate, and only retains the outer shell of the virus. This outer shell is the antigen. When this non-toxic After inoculation of the non-replicating virus shell into the human body, it will stimulate the human body's immune system, produce specific immune factors specific to the virion, and retain the immune memory. When the real hepatitis B virus invades the human body, the body will immediately mobilize The original immune mechanism of the human body kills the invading hepatitis B virus and protects the human body.

The other is to use dead bacteria and viruses.They are no longer pathogenic, but they are still covered with shells, those with characteristic protein shells, this information is enough for macrophages to put on these coats when they are phagocytized, and then regenerated by helper T cells Processing, so that B cells release a large number of antibodies, so as to obtain immunity.

The two principles are popular and simple, which is to let the virus think that this living body has been occupied by its own kind, so it will not continue to occupy this living body again. After all, it seems that they are all family members, so naturally they will not There will be no more harm.

"Parasites are something special. They're not viruses. They're much larger. We've used dead parasites to make vaccines, and they've all failed. They seem to be very aware of each other's presence or absence. Progress on this has not been very smooth."

Li Shukuang took Li Fu on a tour, and shook his head repeatedly at the research progress of immune virus vaccines. After all, parasites and viruses are not the same thing, and the method of researching virus immune vaccines is useless to deal with parasites.

"I remember one thing mentioned in Li Jinghui's report. These parasites seem to be highly hierarchical. Can we start researching immune vaccines from this aspect?"

Li Fu has been listening. In fact, he is very concerned with the research of immune vaccines, because only the research of immune vaccines can guarantee the safety of ordinary people in the empire.
