Chapter 170 Virus
"This time, only the special envoy and I came as special investigators. As for the need for experts and doctors to come for support, it depends on our report and evaluation results." Li said in a businesslike tone, "Sergeant Fleming, you seem to be very disappointed."
"Of course I'm disappointed. No, I'm more than disappointed. I'm simply desperate! What should we do if there is no expert? What should our soldiers and my brothers do? Do you still have to wait for the report and evaluation? God Emperor, when is this? When all these procedures are completed, they will die and be buried in the earth!"
"Phergeant Fleming, calm down!" Li said, "First of all, understand your identity and think about who you are talking to. Standing in front of you is the temporary investigator and special envoy of the special investigation team. You have to understand our identity. Secondly, you should understand that your anger is unfounded, because the rules are so. It is impossible for one of your reports. Throw the valuable expert group into a dangerous place. You should understand."
"Yes, I understand, I just," Fleming said almost broke down, "I just can't watch my brothers tortured to death by this hateful virus. I'm too tired..."
Fleming is really tired. He is just a little hygienist. He hasn't even graduated from medical school yet. To be precise, Fleming is just a senior in medical school who is about to graduate. He will serve as an intern in the Storm Commando for a full year, and then be recommended to the relevant military hospital to complete a full seven-year internship. After the end of the internship, he will be qualified to become a A respected professional doctor. Now, the life burden of a whole company is on the rookie. His enemies are extremely powerful, but for the sake of those brothers who are groaning in pain, he has to rush up.
If Fleming is not so tired, if his brain is not full of the morphology of those bacteria, the knowledge of pathopathology, not all kinds of question marks, then he should be able to find the obvious problems in it. First of all, Li did not show any documents, although he has a good style. Secondly, it is impossible for any spiritual envoys in this kind of investigation team. Even if some spiritual people have communication with human officials, they will occasionally send special envoys to human society, but it is impossible for the military to let these spiritual envoys act at will. It is impossible for these spiritual people to come to the sudden place of the incident.
But Fleming can't control this now. He doesn't have the energy in his mind to think about these problems now.
Because Fleming is fighting, for him, this is an almost desperate battle, but the soldiers still have to fight until the last moment. Under Li's sculpture-like face, some indifferent places are quietly touched. How can the empire fail with such soldiers? Yes, those revolutionaries, people who complain about social injustice, see too much dark things. Their eyes have been worn with colored glasses. They are frightened by the strength of the enemy, and then lose their calmness. They can't see the efforts of these ordinary people, or even if they see it, they disdain it. But the truth Yes, it is because of the efforts of countless ordinary people and the fighting that countless ordinary people insist on, that human beings still stand in the Milky Way, occupying the vastest space and having the largest empire.
As long as there are admirable warriors like them, the empire will not fall.
"Cergeant, how long has it been since you had a rest?"
"Three days, I haven't closed my eyes for three full days."
"Cergeant Fleming, I know you're very tired," Li took the initiative to go to the corner of the room, turned on the coffee machine, made a cup of coffee for Fleming, took the coffee to Fleming's hand with both hands, led him under the sofa to sit down, and then said, "But it's not the time for you to rest, Fleming The battle is still going on, and your brothers are still fighting with the disease. You can't stop. At least it's not the time for you to rest.
"Yes, I can't stop. I can't give up. With so many lives, I can't relax like this. I have to continue to study. This new virus is really wonderful. I hate that I didn't study hard in college..." With this, Fleming was about to stand up and return to the workbench, but was Li stopped it.
"Don't worry about this. Listen to me. The best thing you should do now is to drink this cup of coffee first." After watching Fleming pour a whole cup of coffee into his mouthful, Li continued, "Now you can tell me about these viruses, from the beginning, from the first patient."
"At the beginning, hey, there is almost no beginning," Fleming said with a blank face, "The virus seems to have spread in an instant. It is a sudden and large-scale outbreak. There is no warning. The virus seems to suddenly appear out of thin air. Almost half of the soldiers in the company are in the initial large-scale virus. Falling down during the outbreak, the initial symptoms are fever, high fever, which will make people confused, and even the fuzzy patient will feel extremely thirsty, and he will constantly need to drink water. At first, we could only satisfy the patient, but I soon found that drinking a lot of water not only could not curb the disease, but also accelerate the development of the disease. After drinking a lot of water, the patient will cause the whole body to edema, and even continue to drink water after drinking until he vomits, and the vomit will speed up the spread of the virus, so that more people will be infected by the virus. The two doctors in it fell down at this stage.
"This does not seem to be an ordinary state, and the natural transmission of the virus is not in this pattern."
"Yes, I also suspect that this is the enemy's biochemical battle, but the three companies stationed not far from us seem to have been infected by the virus, and who will be the enemy? Why did he bypass the three companies on the periphery and poison our company? Of course, these should not be what I, a little person, think about, and I don't have time to think about how these viruses came from. At present, the most important thing is how to defeat this virus.
"We will write these problems in the report. I agree with you. At present, your biggest enemy is not the black hand after the virus, but the virus itself. Tell me more about the virus. What happened after the large-scale outbreak of the virus? Have you found how the virus spread in the early stage? How to prevent it?
"Yes, this is the most important issue of infectious viruses, the way of transmission and prevention methods." Fleming nodded and said, "In the early stage, the vitality and infectivity of the virus are extremely strong. It is initially estimated that it should rely on airborne infection, but the possibility of food infection is not ruled out. If so, then it is very likely that an enemy has sneaked into our castle, or simply a traitor has appeared among us. After the patient is poisoned, he will be mentally ill and thirsty because of high fever. If he drinks water normally, he will be swollen all over his body after three days, with abscesses and blistering on his body. The blisters will gradually ulcerate in three days, and drinking water will speed up the process. The ulcerated blisters are like a culture tank. Countless viruses breed out in the pus. When the pus breaks, more viruses will spread into the air. At this time, the patient will have a mental disorder. He will feel irritable, afraid of light, and accompanied by symptoms of rabies.
"Symptoms of rabies?"
"Yes, the patient's physical strength will suddenly increase, and it will be extremely aggressive and lose pain."
"Is it extremely aggressive? Will it bite people?"
"Yes."
"Saliva can also transmit this virus?"
"Yes, so we put all the patients separately in their own rooms. Fortunately, they have lost their wisdom after losing consciousness and can't open the door by themselves for the time being." Fleming sighed, said painfully and numbly, "And at present, it has been found that this virus has the same weaknesses as all viruses. This virus with great harm must live on the host to survive, but at the same time, the virus is killing the host, so we just need to limit the spread of the virus. If the virus area is isolated, the problem should not be out of control. The only good news is that after the preliminary experiment, I found that the virus will die naturally due to the loss of its host a week later in the natural environment. You should be safe in most areas of the castle now. Only here, as a research area, I have cultivated some viruses in the culture tank, but not It is not safe to let it die naturally, and it is not safe in some patients' rooms with slower symptoms.
"Did anyone die because of this?"
"More than a hundred brothers have died, and more brothers are gradually dying in pain." Fleming said numbly, "I have nothing to do with this virus now. Almost all the common antibiotics and specific drugs have no effect on this virus, which can only cause more pain to patients."
"As you say, as long as an isolation zone is established, the virus will naturally dissipate after the patient dies."
Fleming's face became fierce in an instant. After a long time, he sighed and said dejectedly, "Yes, this is indeed the lowest-cost method."
"No, it should be wrong." Li said to himself, "It shouldn't be that simple."
Le Roi, a traitor, obviously regards this virus as a big killer. But if you only need to establish a quarantine area in time to let the infected person die naturally, you can stop the spread and spread of the virus, and the virus will die naturally with the passage of time, then this virus is nothing special. It is the same as most infectious diseases in the empire, and the empire will not care about this at all. With a little damage, the upper layer won't even pay special attention to this.
How can this spread terror?
