Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

There was little hesitation, and Johnson agreed to cooperate with the experiment.

Although the Chinese researcher named Zhao Shuxuan stressed to him that clinical trials had been conducted only twice in mice and that there might be some risks associated with their direct application to the human body, for Johnson this was the only way to return to Earth.

If he can't solve the Mars bacteria on his body, he may have to stay on the Moon Palace for the rest of his life, isolated from the Earth's ecosystem, or even abandoned.

It was unacceptable for him to have a family on the planet and for someone else to wait for him to return.

Sitting beside the medical bed, he quietly awaited the medicine dispensed by the two researchers in the infirmary. Soon after, the Chinese researcher who had brought him here came with three capsules and a small bag of water.

“Eat it. ”

After picking up three capsules from Zhao Shuxuan's hand, Johnson did not hesitate to throw them into his mouth, then sucked them with a straw of water in the bag and swallowed them with a sip of water.

After a quiet five-minute wait by the medical bed, Johnson felt a little restless and looked to the right and saw everyone in the lab looking at themselves, so he said an embarrassing word.

“Uh, is that it? ”

“I don't know,” Zhao Shuxuan shook his head. “It takes an hour or two to find out exactly. I suggest you lie down and sleep for a while. ”

Johnson: “May I ask where those capsules came from? Don't get me wrong, I'm just curious...”

Professor Leslie and Professor Zhao Shuxuan looked at him and looked at him strangely.

“… knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing for you. ”

Johnson speculated, "Involving confidentiality? ”

“Neither does it,” Professor Leslie shrugged, "except… only one person is immune to the bacteria at the moment. ”

Without hearing the words in this sentence, Johnson frowned and asked: "So? ”

With a slight cough, Professor Leslie continued, "This bacteria is mainly found in the esophagus, especially in the large intestine area…”

Johnson's face changed instantly.

“Shet... isn't it...”

“Exactly, Shet… or Shet's extract, but I think there should still be a lot of difference. ”

Feeling his stomach twitching for a while, holding on to the urge to vomit, Johnson stared at him with a murderous eye, and asked hard, "Are you sure this thing... works? ”

“I... am not sure," Professor Leslie laughed a little embarrassed, "but there are some things you have to try to find out, aren't there? ”

Johnson wanted to say something else, but just at this point, a feeling of tiredness hit his brain and he had to stick his index finger to his eyebrow.

Professor Leslie and Professor Zhao Shuxuan's eyes flashed a surprise when they perceived his condition.

With the last hint of remnants of consciousness, Johnson seemingly hears the voices of the two conversations.

“God… our speculation is correct! ”

“The antibodies that can kill X-0172 bacteria are in the extract of colonial metabolite number three! ”

“… report on the success of the study. ”

“ …… ”

……

Almost at the same time that the researchers on the Lunar Palace completed the experiment.

Jinling Institute of Advanced Studies, far from Earth.

After learning about the success of the experiment, he immediately came to the X-0172 Bacteriological Specialty Laboratory, which he had recently established, and asked the person in charge here, Professor Liu Zuobing, about the research on the Lunar Palace.

“How are the two colonists doing now? ”

“Sleeping soundly, we tried all kinds of physical means such as low temperature, overheating, static electricity, and couldn't wake them up," pushed the glasses, Professor Liu continued, “Overall, the experiment was quite successful, which confirmed our assumptions. From the metabolite samples, traces of spores were observed in both colonists' metabolites. ”

As soon as the spirit of the ark was vibrated, he asked, "That means that that Tyvey did produce antibodies to X-0172 bacteria in his body. ”

“This should be the case in theory,” Professor Liu nodded, but then sighed again, "but the trouble now is that even if we find an antibody that can remove some of the X-0172 bacteria from the colonizer, it's hard to kill the bacteria further through the antibody. ”

Bacillus, also known as endospores, is a bacterial dormant body and is also known as the most resilient organism in the biological world, with remarkable performance in terms of heat resistance, antichemical drugs and radiation resistance.

In the case of Clostridium botulinum, it takes 5 to 9.5 hours for the blasts to be killed in boiling water. Giant Bacillus is 36 times more radiation-resistant than E. coli cells, even under direct ultraviolet, high-energy radiation, and is able to maintain its original life-form for a long time.

Freely present spores have no obvious metabolic effect and only retain their potential germination and are therefore also referred to as hidden life. And once the environmental conditions are right, the spores can germinate into nutritional cells at any time.

Make an inappropriate metaphor, like a instant noodle dehydrated dish bag thrown in boiling water.

Therefore, if the spores in the colonizer could not be completely eliminated, it would be sooner or later when the situation was good.

The atmosphere in the lab was silent.

Staring at the paper from the Moon Palace on the computer screen, Professor Liu Zhuobing fell into contemplation.

From the weight of the old professor's eyes, the ark could clearly feel that it would not be easy to solve the problem. Even integrating the world's top biomedical research and development forces, it's not easy to find a solution.

Ark: “Is there any good way to do this about Bacillus? ”

“If there is, we must have tried," Professor Liu shook his head, "international experts have already met several times to discuss, at present the more reliable idea is probably intermittent sterilization, constant activation of the spores and then killing. But this raises a more troublesome issue, and we may be able to toss it several times to reduce the amount of X-0172 bacteria in these colonizers, but it is difficult to remove them at all. ”

Ark: “Like a spreading cancer cell? ”

Professor Liu: “Although not very appropriate, there is no big problem with this metaphor. ”

After hearing Professor Liu's statement, Ark Zhou thought for a while and suddenly asked.

“What about the extracts that contain antibodies? Do we have one in the lab? ”

Professor Liu pointed to the sealed glass bottle on the finger table.

“Right here… what's wrong? ”

Ark: “Can I take one back for research? ”

Professor Liu Zhuibing looked at the ark strangely, “Yes you can... although I don't think it might make any sense. ”

Instead of not believing in the power of the ark, he did not see any point in doing so.

This is just a metabolic extract, and there may not be any X-0172 bacteria in it.

If you really want to study, you shouldn't be studying this stuff, should you?

The ark smiled slightly and said.

“Whether it makes sense or not, only try it. ”
