Chapter 429: Another Experiment [Request for Month Ticket, Request for Subscription]

After Wang Jinbao vomited, the medical team washed his stomach and washed out all the 50 grams of soil he had eaten before slowly lowering his heart rate, blood pressure and other vital signs to a high normal level.

All 10 patients who participated in the experiment had this result, food poisoning symptoms, abdominal pain, vomiting, and six patients had hemoptysis after eating the soil.

The medical team then performed a gastroscopy on all 10 patients and found that patients with hemoptysis had ruptured esophagus and gastric mucosa, which should be acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding caused by their sudden swallowing of soil. The medical team immediately treats hemostasis and infuses plasma and glucose.

Acute gastrointestinal bleeding is not a big deal, and more seriously, changes in the mental state of patients.

After the experiment, ten patients became more emotionally agitated than irrational, and five patients, including Wang Jinbo, needed an injection of tranquillity. They used to yell at doctors and nurses to deceive them, not to eat this dirt, but to kill them.

If the patient simply does not have an appetite or even is unable to eat, he or she can also sustain life by injecting intravenous nutrients.

But psychosocial is on the other hand, in addition to sedation therapy, the next step is to fix the patient's body, artificial coma, damage nerves...

Even if the medical team has the best resources, there are not many means.

In this dilemma, Skull is clearly going through it again. When people with different scales feel itchy, they have to scratch, and locust patients feel hungry, they have to eat certain dirt. They may be the same principle, and the patient's spirit is influenced by some ritual, some force.

Even so, the effect comes from the mutated region.

The mutation zone is there, and no matter what it does, NASA is temporarily unable to put an end to it.

Are patients given that kind of abnormal soil? What kind of neurological damage do you want to do? Leukotomy of the brain lobe?

The programmes of these clinical experimental projects have been placed on the command deck of the command centre, where destruction and excision cause irreversible permanent damage, while the administration of abnormal soil feeding may lead to the patient's disease progression to the next phase.

Previously, through an autopsy of Principal Choi, the medical team had a question: Did the patient eat mud because of an infection with a parasite, or did he eat an infection with a parasite because of mud?

And now that Director Wang has another problem with their symptoms, is the patient eager to eat abnormal soil, for insect eggs in the mud, or just the mud?

That unusual wasteland is quite large, and some soils contain large amounts of eggs, but not all of them.

The first question cannot be directly clarified at this time. A normal person would not suddenly eat mud, and there were more than 300 missing people, who should have eaten the mud before they were affected by the spirit. But there is no clue as to what state Principal Choi was in before eating mud and when he first ate mud.

But if you can figure out the second question, the first question is almost answered.

If the patient is mentally affected, driven to eat locust eggs, eats insect eggs and infects parasites, the parasite drives the patient to eat more dirt.

If this is such a pathological process, no matter how much ordinary or abnormal soil you eat, you will not progress to the next stage as long as you do not eat the worm eggs. It also means that these patients infected by Principal Choi do not have xenolocust parasites, or any physically transmissible pathogens.

In that case, as long as they are not exposed to locust eggs and transported out of the desert, even if their epidemic is under control.

In terms of treatment, it is also possible to see whether abnormal soil, desert north soil can satisfy them.

However, if these patients are mentally affected, there are parasites in the body that can be incubated, grown and bred by eating the corresponding soil.

Or Principal Choi ate worm eggs before he became infected, but new patients infected by him did not need to inhale worm eggs, and worms appeared in the body...

This is the worst case scenario, harder to understand, harder to control.

NASA has no control over where the more than 300 missing persons have gone, nor is it certain that the abnormal soil is anything more special than the presence of worm eggs.

Because from the results of the soil composition test, "abnormal soil” is no different from other wasteland soils in the desert north, and there is no nuclear radiation.

In view of the current critical situation, the Command Center ordered the clinical trial to be conducted.

The results need to be experimented before you know it.

On March 17, it was more than 10: 00 p.m., and the isolation base was busy. Wang Ruoxiang rubbed his temple and continued to cheer up.

Six patients participated in this study. Four had just been experimented with eating common soil, two had hemoptysis, and two had not, one of them had injection tranquillity; two patients had not eaten common soil.

Because locust disease transmission mechanisms are unknown, teachers and students are witnessing and listening to Principal Choi's suicide bombing.

This experiment must be carried out with caution, as patients who eat abnormal soil may produce insects and then may self-destruct and thus become infected. Surveillance of the advanced quarantine ward, where six patients are located, will continue, but real-time conditions will not be observed at the command center.

Not even the medical team is watching, or walking into the ward if anything happens.

There were only three people on the front line of the operation, watching surveillance and entering the ward, all of whom were prepared for possible infection.

“I can see what the patient is, I can spell, I can understand first aid. ”

One of them actively invited Wang Ruoxiang, she wanted to make a contribution. After being locked up for so long, this situation was so serious, Gu Jun disappeared, Wu Shiyu lost his soul, Deng Xie Mai and many others on the front line ran out of dose equivalents, it was time for her to do something.

Grandpa Tong agreed to her request. This operation was no less dangerous than walking into a mutated area, but the spell department personnel came to do this.

In addition to Wang Ruoxiang, the other two were nurses Lin Shizhe and investigator Chen Xiang, both of whom knew the old stamp.

Six patients were not experimented at the same time, and if something went wrong from the beginning, the following was not necessary.

The first patient in the experiment was Chow Kevin, male, 18 years old, senior year student, who had eaten ordinary soil, had vomiting and had stable injections.

At this time, Zhou Kewen was sitting semi-fixed on the patient bed, his feet were tied up, and his hands could move, although he played calmly, he still could not calm down. The ward door was opened, an unmanned car drove in, and the door was shut, leaving only 50 grams of unusual yellowbrown dirt with no eggs.

“Ah, ah...” Zhou Kewen's heart rate suddenly rose rapidly, struggling excitedly, and before the car reached the bed, he reached for the little piece of dirt.

The horn in the corner of the ward emitted Wang Ruoxiang's voice: “Mr. Zhou, you can start eating, try to eat slowly, don't hurt the esophagus again...”

But Zhou Wen didn't seem to hear it. The trembling hands grabbed the dirt and stuffed it into his mouth. The look was almost insane.
