I Have A Super USB Drive

When the international community just turned its attention to the epidemic in Africa, Chen Chen was already experimenting.

At this time, hundreds of patients infected with BE-006 have been accommodated in the closed isolation room.

These patients are all volunteers selected by the company from nearby areas and signed a personal agreement. Even if they eventually die, Blacklight will not be held responsible.

The professors of Bernhard, who was in charge of the virus research, stood in front of the isolation window, watching the rows of hospital beds in the window, and checking the process of each treatment.

At this moment, the door of the observation room opened quickly, and Chen Chen appeared directly behind the door.

"Boss, why are you here?"

Everyone turned their heads and said hello.

"Of course I can't stay out of the troubled times."

Chen Chen waved his hand and said to the headed Professor Bernhard, "Has the symptoms of the virus been counted?"

"Through the analysis of 30 corpses in the past few days, and the study of hundreds of patients, we have a certain solution to the symptoms of BE-006."

Bernhard took out a file with confidence and handed it to Chen Chen, "The situation is basically recorded."

Chen Chen took the album and turned it over slightly.

The first picture of the atlas is a pattern taken by an electron microscope. On it are a few filaments that are coiled into a bow tie, just like worms.

And under the pattern, the words are being marked.

Bernhard explained to the side, "It looks very beautiful, it looks a bit similar to its relatives, but it is actually a true killer."

"Who said no."

Chen Chen shrugged and turned to the second page, which was a picture of a black man.

It's just that this black man bleeds from seven holes, even his skin is oozing blood, and the whole person looks extremely dull.

"This is the standard symptom of hemorrhagic fever."

Bernhard explained, "The principle of the BE virus is almost the same as that of its relative Reston virus. Both enter the air through droplets produced when the host speaks, and then follow the eyes, nose, mouth or wounds of the infected person. Into the body of an infected person."

"The phenomenon that occurs after entering the human body, I divide it into three steps."

Bernhard held out a finger.

"The first step is the initial stage of infection. It first attacks human white blood cells and destroys the perception of white blood cells. The body of the infected person loses the protection of white blood cells. Then the blood of the infected person will change and become more and more. The thicker it gets."

"Moreover, this virus also likes to attack connective tissue. The connective tissue is mainly composed of collagen, where they multiply in large quantities. Then the skin of the infected person will liquefy and necrotize from the bottom layer, and blisters that break at the touch of a touch appear. Symptoms of bleeding..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Chen turned to the third page, only to see hundreds of blood blisters on the face of a black patient, and he could hardly even see his face.

"Next is the second step."

Bernhard continued, “Patients will bleed, mouth, gums, breasts, eyes...no matter how small the pores will start to ooze, because after the white blood cells, the blood cells will be killed and the cells will be lysed by the virus. The organelles are scattered everywhere, except that the blood is full of viruses that lyse cells..."

"This speed will happen quickly within a few days, because this is the power of a powerful virus."

Bernhard said, spreading his hands, "Then the third step is the last step in the life of the infected person."

"At this time, the infected person’s mouth begins to rot, his tongue and necrotic organs will be coughed up when he coughs, and his liver will become mushy, and his intestines will be filled with blood, as if the whole person began to move from the inside out. melted……"

"Furthermore, their nerves have also begun to die, showing a sluggish look, until then the patient will gradually die."

Chen Chen turned to the back, and they were all anatomical drawings of corpses.

"Sure enough, it's an accurate Ebola method of death."

Chen Chen simply closed the report, "Publish this on the homepage of our company's website and promote it to the world. Now let's say something intuitive. Have you found the incubation time of the virus and the treatment?"

Bernhard shook his head when he heard the words and said regretfully, "According to our investigation, the current incubation period has risen to 7 days. We suspect that the incubation period of BE-006 is the same as other Ebola viruses, and can reach up to 20 days. ."

"This is really bad news."

Chen Chen's expression became more and more serious. The longer the incubation period, the farther the virus can spread and the greater the threat to human civilization.

"As for the treatment, we have only tried two therapies for the time being, namely NPC1 blocker therapy and conventional symptomatic treatment."

Another professor explained, “The Ebola virus needs to enter the nucleus through NPC1 to replicate itself. Once the NPC1 protein blocks the transport of cholesterol, the disease will be significantly inhibited. After the first group of patients were injected with the NPC1 inhibitor, The condition was temporarily suppressed."

"However, traditional symptomatic treatment methods are much less effective. Traditional symptomatic treatment includes electrolyte fluid oral rehydration and intravenous infusion, repairing lost platelets to prevent bleeding, and maintaining the oxygen content in the blood."

"Today, the mortality rate of traditional symptomatic treatment is about 35 percent."

Chen Chen did not speak, because he understood that the mortality rate of traditional therapy is not high, just because it has not reached the late stage of the disease.

The longer the delay, the higher the mortality rate.

"Now it seems that NPC1 blocker therapy is the most effective treatment for Ebola virus."

Evans on the side added, "The only drawback is that NPC1 blocker therapy can cause patients to get Niemann Pick's disease, which is too expensive."

"This is no way."

Chen Chen solemnly said, "By the way, when can our company start researching vaccines?"

"About half to a month later, when you fully understand the nature of the virus."

Evans thought for a while and estimated, "After half a month, the death rate of this plague can probably be estimated, and some international aid will arrive. That's when the real counterattack will be launched."

"Moreover, at that time, there will be some patients who have developed antibodies and are self-healing. Then they can use their serum to treat the virus. In other words, what we need to do now is how to stop the spread of the epidemic within a month."

"well."

Chen Chen nodded, "You can rest assured. Although I can't guarantee that the virus will not spread into the Life Sciences City, I can at least guarantee that any epidemic will be immediately suppressed once it is discovered, and it will definitely give you stability. Research environment."

Encouraging everyone again, Chen Chen took a live strain of BE-006 and left the research center.

For this live strain, Chen Chen will conduct another study in the Minaret Laboratory. After all, the advanced equipment of the Minaret Laboratory has to exceed the level 4 biosafety laboratory of the Research Center.

Moreover, there are top talented scientists such as Hannibal and Li Lei in the Spire Lab. In addition, Chen Chen will let Xiao X join the research.

Although there is no creativity, but with the computing power and micro-manipulation ability of Xiao X, it can easily analyze the gene map of the virus and use complex gene editing technologies such as CRISPR-Cas9.
