Chapter 478: Past events on Mars ([-])
"Hello!" Kay Rucker greeted Dr. Doom, ready to take a rest.

Dr. Dum's substitute robot suddenly grabbed Kay Rucker's arm: "Kay Rucker, wait a minute."

"What's wrong? Doctor!" Kay Rucker asked in surprise.

"Do you feel unwell?" Dum asked nervously, mainly because he saw some red spots on Kay Rucker's body, like an allergic reaction.

"uncomfortable?"

"You have some red spots on your body." Dr. Dum turned on a holographic mirror for Kay Rucker, and Kay Rucker suddenly saw many small red spots on his neck and forehead, and suddenly he became nervous.

Quickly activated the body automatic detection system, and the result came out after a while, [Alarm, alert, infected with Mars 17 virus, with slight inflammation, please receive isolation treatment as soon as possible. ].

After a while, Liao Qingsong and others rushed over, and the base's artificial intelligence system automatically notified Liao Qingsong.

"Captain, I'm infected with the Martian virus, I..." Kai Ruide said nervously.

"I know the matter, you receive isolation treatment immediately, don't worry." Liao Qingsong has already turned on the anti-biochemical function of the spacesuit.

Although a little scared, Kay Rucker also knows that the Alliance has a unique set of nano-treatment solutions for virus treatment. Even if no suitable anti-virus vaccine or virus nano-binding point is found, "cleaning treatment" can be used, and life-saving is no problem.

About three hours later, Kay Rucker had been sent to the isolation cabin for isolation treatment and observation.

The other nine members of the second team of the Space Expeditionary Force at the Mars base also quickly conducted a comprehensive physical examination, and the Mars 9 virus was found on them. This situation immediately made the Human Innovation Alliance feel like a formidable enemy. What they were most worried about still happened.

Zhao Hailun, Luo Wenxi, and Asido, three virus and medical experts, quickly came to the Mars base through the substitute robot.

Looking at Kay Rucker's medical records and other people's conditions, Luo Wenxi ordered: "Helen, you are a medical expert, and the virus treatment will be left to you and Asido."

"Okay." Helen Zhao nodded.

"Yes." Asido replied while reading the inspection report, and the two of them acted quickly. Asido was in charge of finding the virus vaccine, while Zhao Hailun was in charge of using nano-therapy to test the nano-binding points of the virus. Precise nano-combination points can reduce physical damage to patients.

Luo Wenxi turned his head to discuss the Mars 17 virus with Dr. Dum.

"Dr. Wenxi, the Mars 17 virus is a virus discovered in the atmosphere of Mars. It is a typical airborne virus. According to some previous research, this virus should not be very destructive." Dr. Dum thought for a while Said.

"I know it's not very destructive, but we can't guarantee that they won't mutate. Viruses that can survive in the harsh environment of Mars show how tenacious their vitality is." Luo Wenxi replied worriedly.

"Let's study the situation of the Mars 17 virus and their characteristics in the human body as soon as possible!" Dr. Dum suggested.

Luo Wenxi nodded, and the two began to test the characteristics of the Mars 17 virus and so on.

Three days later, everyone in the Mars base had symptoms of red spots, but the vaccine and nano-combination points will not be completed in a short time. Although these red spots do not affect the work of astronauts, the pioneering mission of the Mars base is still paused.

Mars space station, inside a meeting room.

"A bad news and a good news." Zhao Hailun said to the members of the expert group.

"Let's tell the bad news first!" Luo Wenxi said with a headache.

"The condition of Kai Ruide and Nicholas has deteriorated. I suggest to observe for one more day. If they still don't improve, start the cleaning treatment plan." Helen Zhao explained with a solemn expression.

After discussing with the others for a while, Luo Wenxi nodded in agreement.

Helen Zhao continued: "The good news is that we have initially figured out the characteristics of the Mars 17 virus. It is similar to the smallpox virus. Its incubation period is about 7 to 15 days. It can be transmitted by air and blood. In the initial stage, the infected person only has red spots and slight symptoms. Inflammation symptoms, severe pneumonia, high fever, and large areas of erythema will appear in the mid-term, and berberine has a certain inhibitory effect on this virus."

"By the way, Dr. Helen, this virus has another feature, which is a dormancy period. Once the ambient temperature drops below minus 27 degrees Celsius, it will start to enter a dormant state. If the big cleansing fails, it is recommended to transfer a batch of ultra-low temperature maintenance from Blue Star. Come over to the living cabin," Dr. Dum reminded.

"Okay, I took note."

Liao Qingsong and others were helplessly waiting for treatment. He glanced at Fang Haibo who was watching a movie, and suddenly felt something was wrong. He quickly thought about what was wrong.

Huh? Liao Qingsong quickly turned on the mirror function of the holographic bracelet. He looked at the red spots on his face, which seemed to be less than before. Is it an illusion? Or is it really less?
"Zhu Rong, recall my video from yesterday."

Zhu Rong, the artificial intelligence of the base, immediately called out Liao Qingsong's video from yesterday to him, and Liao Qingsong quickly compared it.

"Sure enough, a little less." Liao Qingsong hastily called Zhao Hailun and explained his physical condition to her.

After a while, Zhao Hailun's and Asido's stand-in robots appeared in the isolation area, and conducted a comprehensive inspection of Liao Qingsong and others.

Looking at the inspection report, Zhao Hailun said with a smile on her face: "Mr. Liao Ji and his body have produced virus antibodies, and they are getting better now."

"Or why didn't Nicholas and Kay Rucker develop antibodies?" Dr. Asido said very confused.

"Huh?..." Zhao Hailun also pondered, suddenly she seemed to think of something, quickly turned on the holographic computer, called up the information of Liao Qingsong's 10 people, and then performed a genetic comparison. Looking at the results of the genetic comparison, she suddenly realized:
"I know what's going on."

"You mean genetics?"

"Yes, Liao Jichang, Fang Haibo and other five people are of pure East Asian race, and the other three people from Kazakhstan and Burma are mixed with East Asian race, and Nicholas has 13% East Asian blood, only Kay Rucker is Pure white people." Zhao Helen paused and said again:
"Combining the gene concentration of East Asians with their disease, it can be seen that the gene concentration is inversely proportional to the disease, which means that East Asian genes are resistant to smallpox virus."

After some observations, Dr. Asido discovered this rule.

Three days later, the erythema and inflammation of Liao Qingsong, Fang Haibo and others had completely disappeared, while Kay Rucker and Nicholas had no choice but to choose a big cleansing treatment, and then they were quickly transported to the Mars space station for recuperation.

Regarding the white gene's inability to resist the smallpox virus, the alliance issued a gag order. After all, this thing is simply a natural racial gene virus, and it might be used by others.

In addition, the astronauts or other people sent to the Mars Territory in the past have been readjusted. All pure white genetics are temporarily restricted from entering the Mars Territory. Fortunately, there are not many pure whites in the Human Revolution Alliance, and even the Lucia Federation has many is of mixed race.
