The Last Plant Controller

Chapter 158: The Dawn of Virus Vaccine

"Set up a medical team?"

Lin Chen looked at Lao Fan who took the initiative to come to the door, and didn't understand why he suddenly made this suggestion: "If anyone feels uncomfortable, they can just go to you directly. There is no need to set up such a group, right?"

"Ahem, it's like this. When I left the base, I didn't bring anything with me. In the past two days, everything I ate and drank was provided by the team." At this point, Lao Fan's face turned a little red. , and then laughed twice and said: "I thought that I couldn't always live in vain, so I wanted to use my remaining energy. And I asked, I am the only doctor in the entire team. This way, in case of any serious illness or emergency that requires surgery, I can’t do it alone. With such a team, I can train two apprentices at the same time.”

This suggestion moved Lin Chen.

He thought for a while and was about to agree when he suddenly found a question: "As a doctor, of course it would be better to have two more doctors. However, do you have any teaching materials, medical equipment or anything like that now?"

"That..." Lao Fan's face turned even redder, and he mumbled, "Nothing."

Lin Chen glanced at this guy helplessly. After all, he still had a lot of common drugs in his car. It's great that this genuine doctor didn't bring anything with him when he came out! It seems that I have been a researcher in a biology laboratory for too long!

"Okay, when someone comes down the mountain again, I will arrange for them to help you find the things you need. In addition, the medicines obtained from the team's hunting will also be handed over to you for safekeeping! As for now, do you want a legitimate name? It’s not impossible, it’s just that you can only have a shelf for the time being, and you have to build it yourself!”

"Okay, thank you captain!"

He originally wanted to use the word you directly, but soon realized that Lin Chen's identity was different, so he changed his words in time. The speed was so fast that even Lin Chen didn't notice anything strange.

"You're welcome. Just make a list for me of the most commonly used equipment and medicines."

After giving the instructions, Lao Fan went back happily. But before waiting for two hours, he came over again with several long forms: "The first two are the required medicines, and the third one is for various equipment and instruments."

"So fast?"

Lin Chen curiously took the list and flipped through it. He didn't see anything strange about the medicines, but the list of medical equipment made him a little confused. At first, things like stethoscopes, scalpels, and hemostats were normal, but later, things like electron microscopes and microplate readers puzzled him. Even though he is not a medical student, he also knows that several of the instruments whose names he has never seen before are definitely not used to treat ordinary diseases!

"What are these things used for?"

Lin Chen scratched the second half of the third form and asked him in a questioning tone.

Lao Fan probably expected it in his heart. He looked at it and said sheepishly: "Well, what is written in black ball pen below are all non-essential instruments. It's the best you can find. It doesn't matter if you can't find them. As for their uses, I I plan to use it to continue analyzing zombie viruses!”

"you?"

Lin Chen was startled by his words. He quickly stood up and looked at Lao Fan carefully. But no matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a world-class biochemical virus expert!

"What's wrong?" Lao Fan seemed a little puzzled by Lin Chen's doubts and asked, "Didn't I say before that I worked as a researcher in the biological laboratory of the base?"

Lin Chen shook his head and asked: "So, what do you want to do by analyzing the zombie virus?"

Lao Fan was even more surprised by this question. He said matter-of-factly: "Of course I want to develop a virus vaccine!"

Lin Chen was really stunned by his words. Medical experts from so many countries in the world all want to crack the zombie virus, but so far they have not heard of any success. He is an ordinary laboratory researcher who also wants to develop a virus vaccine? I really don’t know if it’s because I don’t know what I can do, or because a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers!

However, despite some disapproval in his heart, Lin Chen did not express his doubts and distrust directly.

"Oh, captain, you think I don't have that ability, right?" Although Lao Fan is a bit simple in his dealings, he is not a fool. Seeing Lin Chen's expression, he thought about it and understood in his heart: "Honestly, although I consider myself somewhat professionally accomplished, and have been studying zombie viruses with other experts since entering the base, I know that I do We don’t have the ability to develop a vaccine alone.”

So why do you want these instruments?

Lin Chen looked at him puzzled.

Lao Fan smiled and continued: "However, I have a completed and very systematic virus analysis report in my hand. It was made by the real authority on biochemical viruses in the base. Even if it is not the most comprehensive virus analysis report in the world, It’s ahead, but it’s definitely very rare. Based on this report, I can research something!”

"Report? What report?"

After what he said, Lin Chen began to pay attention to it, so he suggested that he want to see what he regarded as a treasure.

"Follow me."

Lao Fan felt that there was nothing wrong with talking to Lin Chen, and it would be easier to gain his support, so he agreed. A few minutes later, he dug out a thick stack of extremely detailed zombie virus analysis reports from the tent where he was temporarily staying!

Lin Chen took the stack of unbound papers, flipped through them casually, and asked curiously: "Is this it?"

"That's it!"

Seeing Lin Chen's somewhat random movements, Lao Fan couldn't help but feel worried, and said quickly: "This is the latest research result of Professor Xia at the base on zombie viruses! Unfortunately, for some reason, this report was scattered on the ground when the laboratory was moved. Maybe they had already made a copy before leaving. I saw no one was around, so I took it myself.”

After receiving his confirmation, Lin Chen calmed down and took a closer look.

Unfortunately, this thing is a bit professional. The first part is a description and some guesses about the characteristics of the virus, and then there are large sections of experimental data and pictures. It was not until the end that Lin Chen saw a summary of the system and some temporary transcripts of the data. The handwriting of the last part of the data was obviously a bit sloppy. It may have been written in a hurry by the owner who was in a hurry.

"Only based on this, can we develop a vaccine for the virus?"

Lin Chen still had some doubts. If the country had really reached this level of progress, it would have been promoted on radio broadcasts all over the world. How could it still be answered with "The vaccine is still under development, please be patient". ?

"It's true! This report has just come out, and the central government may not have this progress!"

As he said that, Lao Fan took the report from Lin Chen's hand, pointed to some key places in it that were highlighted with red pen, and said: "You see, Professor Xia's experiments and analysis are already quite reliable. According to our interpretation Through numerous samples and repeated tests, the third-level zombie virus has a suppressive and phagocytic effect on the first- and second-level viruses. With this, we can develop a vaccine that is suitable for some people infected by the virus! It’s a first step, but it’s already amazing!”

"don't know!"

Lin Chen shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand. Why is it called a vaccine suitable for a small range? It works, but is it possible that this thing can only be mass-produced on a small scale? Or is it a virus that only works on some zombies?

"Let me explain it to you." Lao Fan thought for a while and decided to give an example: "In the experiment, we once used virus samples extracted from third-level zombies and viruses from second-level zombies to infect an animal at the same time. You guessed it? What are the consequences?"

"It must have turned into a zombie..."

Lin Chen's straightforward answer made Lao Fan roll his eyes. He was depressed for a moment, and then said: "Yes, of course it turned into a zombie. But the problem is that after it turned into a zombie, the virus samples extracted from it were only level 3 The first-injected second-level virus sample is gone. Note that there is no trace at all!”

"Why is this?" Lin Chen asked following his words.

Lao Fan shrugged and said, "Professor Xia was very surprised when he discovered this. Later, we repeatedly conducted experiments and came to an inference. That is, after the virus of high-level zombies enters the human body, it will interact with the low-level zombies The virus competes for the right to infect the host. If this process goes smoothly, it may only take a few minutes with the blood flow! "

Lin Chen vaguely understood. He pondered for a while and asked, "So, how can we use this to develop a vaccine?"

Lao Fan shook his head and corrected: "I must explain to you that the reason why experts have been unable to come up with a vaccine is not because they cannot crack the zombie virus. The most critical point is that they themselves are constantly mutating. Hard research The vaccine may lose its effect on the original virus within two days. Therefore, we decided to develop a vaccine for a specific third-level zombie virus, and then save some samples that have been specially processed to suppress its mutation activity. . In this way, when someone is infected by the zombie virus, we will immediately infect him again with the preserved third-level zombie virus sample!”

Having said this, Lin Chen suddenly realized.

If you really want to talk about it, the core of this treatment method is just four words: fight fire with fire!

The foundation for its function is based on the fact that third-level zombie viruses can unconditionally devour lower-level viruses. Then, once someone is infected by a mess of low-level virus variants, they can use this specific third-level zombie virus to devour them all. In this way, the infection can be eliminated by using a specific vaccine!

I have to say that the person who came up with this method is really a genius. Although the finished product of the vaccine has not been officially released yet, this idea makes Lin Chen feel that it is very feasible!

"Understood?"

Lao Fan looked at Lin Chen's excited face and said with a smile: "So, this method is only effective for those infected by second-level zombies and below. Moreover, because the zombie virus only takes more than ten minutes to fully attack, So we don't have much time left. It takes a few minutes for the third-level zombie virus to eat up the lower-level virus, and it also takes a few minutes for the vaccine to take effect. If the time is not right, people will still die, just after being infected. The zombie viruses are just at different levels!” (If you like this work, you are welcome to come to (qidian.) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
