Chapter 369 Metal Virus
As for the construction in full swing on the moon, that's something to be said. The time came back to the time when the mother worm was just captured. Tang Chen and their adventure had actually just begun. The mother worm was forced to stop by them and was thrown into the storage soul guide. .
Everyone boarded the off-road vehicle and set off again. There are many strange creatures in the metal ecosystem, and the metal zerg is just one of them. Metal creatures that walk on four legs also exist.
However, these organisms are generally not strong, and their use value is not as good as the metal plants that can enrich the metal elements in the soil. The people just drive or kill them without intending to capture them.
"Did you find it? There are more and more metal creatures here!" Posesi stopped the car, looked at the darker ground, and took out a satellite map.
In the map, the closer this area is to the core, the darker the color. It is obvious that they are closer to the core of the area.
"Ha Qiu! I don't feel right." Meng Shu sucked his nose, took out two toilet papers and blew his nose severely: "I always feel like there is something in the air!"
Chaotianxiang frowned, "You just got a runny nose, because of our immunity, you shouldn't have a cold." He said, pressing his forehead against Meng Shu's head.
"It's hot! You..."
Meng Shu's forehead was so hot that it was definitely not the temperature that a normal person should have.
"Stay away from me." Meng Shu also realized that his state was not right, and signaled everyone not to approach him, lest it might be an infectious disease.
"Extend your hand, I will take some samples for testing." Jian Hongchen controlled the metal and turned it into a lancet, collected a drop of blood from Meng Shu's fingertips, and tested it under a microscope.
"How? What is it?" Chaotianxiang asked when he closed it up.
"It's not a bacteria or a virus. On the surface, there is not much problem with the blood, but the red blood cells have been inactivated to a considerable extent. The inactivated red blood cells cannot continue to transport oxygen. It does not seem to be life threatening at present, but it takes a long time. I'm not sure if it is." Jian Hongchen gave a not very good answer.
"Meng Shu has blood type O, and any of you is also O type. Let's draw blood to prepare! If the inactivation of red blood cells cannot be suppressed, then only blood transfusion will be the only option."
Everyone looked at each other when they heard the words, and in the end only Chao Tianxiang raised his hand: "I have blood type O, let me get it!"
Fortunately in the misfortune, there is at least one O-type blood in the crowd. With the activity of the soul master hematopoietic stem cells, it can be supplemented with nutrients in time and can be maintained for a long time.
"I think the problem may be in the air. You'd better wear a gas mask." Meng Shu sniffed. Although he was feverish, his mobility was not affected much.
"What are we going to do now? Return now?" Chao Tianxiang stretched out her left arm and stuck a blood collection needle on a vein in her arm, and dark red blood slowly flowed into the blood bag.
"I have already sent a radio to Senior Brother. He will come to our location. It doesn't make sense to return now. Unless it is a Tidal Fighter and return directly to Douluo Continent, otherwise the medical conditions in other parts of Sun Moon Continent cannot be better than ours. Better." Tang Chen handed out gas masks to everyone.
"Then let's return! With the speed of the tidal fighter, it won't take long to fly back!" Chao Tianxiang said anxiously.
"Don't worry, if you go back, the most is the test. The teacher is not a god." Meng Shu himself shook his head and said, "It is good for the tidal fighter to fly a short distance. Flying a long distance is very likely to be attacked by a cloud shepherd. "
"Since the space station can deliver space-based weapons to us, it should also be able to deliver emergency supplies. The risk factor is actually not as high as expected."
"I also prefer to stay here. Detoxification herbs can generally be found near poisons. Although this is not certain, since it is a disease caused by metal life, it should be easier to find a radical cure here." She was the one with the most adventurous experience among the crowd, and she spoke, and Chao Tianxiang couldn't refute anything.
"Don't worry, I have found the reason for the inactivation of red blood cells!" Jian Hongchen pointed his finger on the glass slide: "The iron element in hemoglobin was taken away.
Meng Shu’s body seems to have an extremely small amount of something. They are similar to viruses, but require iron. Therefore, when he disassembled his hemoglobin, it was probably not the antigen carried by the pathogen itself that triggered his immune system response. Don't disassemble the hemoglobin whose properties have completely changed and be identified as an intruder."
Jian Hongchen can manipulate metals, so it is more sensitive to the iron element in red blood cells.
In order to relieve Meng Shu's dizziness and other conditions, Chao Tianxiang's blood has been injected into his body.
"In other words, the reason why the pathogen attacked my body was caused by the need for iron?" Meng Shu shook his head, the lack of brain oxygen made him a little dizzy.
"You said, is it possible that if the pathogen gets enough iron, he will not attack me? It stands to reason that there are very few mammals in this area.
From an evolutionary point of view, pathogens here should not evolve parasitic capabilities specifically for mammals. The environment in the human body is probably extremely harsh for them, which will destroy hemoglobin.
The purpose of pathogens is to survive, and viruses will parasitize host cells. That is because they have to use host cells as factories to replicate themselves. However, human genetic material is probably different from these suspected silicon-based organisms. I speculate that they may not attack at all. The reason for my cells, as long as they are given enough metal elements, I may even get along with the pathogen."
Meng Shu's question produced common sense of everyone, but silicon-based biology is no longer something that common sense can explain, and Meng Shu's thinking is indeed not too problematic.
Jian Hongchen nodded and said: "My limit is to break the metal into nano-sized particles. The blood transfusion should be stopped first. I mix a little saline solution and mix it with metal powder to form a suspension. I should be able to try it.
"Are you sure?" Jian Hongchen broke 50 grams of iron into nanometers. Such a large amount of metal elements is enough to make ordinary people metal heavy.
"Come on! Even if it fails, it doesn't matter, the big deal is just to continue the blood transfusion!" Meng Shu stretched out his arm, and the physiological saline mixed with metal was injected into his body. The powerful physical quality of the soul master was immune to metal poisoning to a certain extent.
Jian Hongchen collected blood samples from Meng Shu every five minutes: “It’s effective! The amount of hemoglobin has stabilized and has even begun to rise, but very small metal particles appear in some white blood cells, the size of which is about fifty times that of mitochondria. One part, it does not damage cells, and even repairs macrophages that have swallowed the virus!"
