blood plague

Chapter 296 So Simple

This bunker is too huge, and Iger and Joanna haven't had enough time to visit it. There must be other places to store supplies, but for now, it doesn't make much sense to find those reserve resources.

There are three days of ingredients in the freezer of the internal restaurant, and this is prepared for 300 people. These ingredients alone are enough for the three of Iger to eat for several months.

These ingredients are semi-finished products that are not durable for storage. Thanks to the normal operation of the refrigeration equipment, they are preserved in good condition. On the other hand, this saves a lot of processing steps and time.

The deer died in vain, and even Iger felt that it was a pity that it died, and it was worthless.

All the remaining bits and pieces of the whole deer were stuffed into a half-empty freezer, where it would probably be frozen until the sea was dry and the stone was rotten.

Dina yawned one after another. If it wasn't for the fact that she was too full and needed to digest for a while, she would have gone to bed.

In the bunker, there is no concept of morning, noon and evening. When to rest, when to work, and when to eat, can be arranged at will according to individual needs.

After the big meal, Iger asked Dina when the next experiment would be carried out, but Dina didn't answer, she bit the ice cream scoop in her mouth in a daze.

Dina only looked at a very small part of the experimental data in units of tens of thousands of pages. As Dina often said, there is too much junk information in the world, and it is necessary to sort out the useful part.

Dina reads the information very quickly. When Iger and Joanna went out just now, Dina browsed thousands of pages of experimental data. Through the physical examination of Iger, Dina already has a clearer understanding of the treatment serum. concept, which allowed her to ignore at least 99.9% of spam.

These are the experimental data that failed before.

The development of blood plague treatment serum is also multi-pronged, and various methods have been used. However, except for one, the other attempts have all failed.

The really successful experiments are not the latest ones, the latest ones are nothing more than another round of failures.

In fact, the only successful experiment had very little information, and it was independently developed by a researcher.

This researcher with a clear mind had a casual attitude to try it out, but he didn't expect that he would develop the only successful and effective therapeutic serum.

From this point of view, it has been verified again from another aspect, and the idea of ​​killing viruses may be fundamentally wrong.

Before, Dina always thought that the experiment failed because they lacked the core code of the virus, but now it seems that it is not.

Now that the virus has spread all over the body, any attempt to eliminate them will end up with either a single kill or a double kill.

Kill the experimenter alone, or kill the virus and the experimenter at the same time.

Of course, all these materials indicated that Chrisburg hadn't started formal human experiments before the outbreak of the blood plague, but Dina already knew all the results.

It is often easier to reverse the steps after knowing the results, whether it is doing questions or scientific research.

First have definite results, and then look at the problem-solving ideas, all the mysteries will be easily solved.

After all, the most difficult part of problem solving and scientific research is to find the only correct answer from the unknown. When the answer is already presented in front of you, it is very easy to make up the steps.

It's just that I didn't expect that this experiment was simpler than Dina imagined, and it was more like a "science experiment" for elementary school students.

"How is your biological level?" Dina asked the two people in front of her.

Joanna shrugged and said: "The biology teacher said that humans evolved from monkeys. I asked her where so many monkeys came from, but she couldn't answer."

Iger scratched his head and said, "I'm probably at the level of a high school student."

High school, especially the third year of high school, is the intellectual peak of a person's life. The further you go, the more stupid you are.

"OK, let me speak slowly." After thinking for a while, Dina said to the two of them: "I have now learned how the healing serum is made, and the principle is so simple that it is outrageous.

Do you know the intraspecific struggle of organisms?
It doesn't matter if you don't know the word, I will give a practical example.

There are many tadpoles in a pond.During the growth process, tadpoles will continuously release a kind of toxin toward the outside world. The larger the tadpole, the more toxin it will release. Of course, the larger the tadpole, the stronger the resistance to the toxin.

When the toxin concentration reaches a certain level, those weak tadpoles will be poisoned to death.

However, the concentration of the toxin in the pond increases further as the tadpoles grow, until eventually only the largest and strongest tadpoles survive to become frogs or toads.

This practice of tadpoles is called self-poisoning, and it is a natural mechanism to regulate population density. "

Dina's speech is very simple and thorough, and everyone is familiar with this theory of survival of the weak and the elimination of the strong.

After all, Ameri is solidly practicing social Darwinism.

Iger said to Dina: "You mean, the principle of the treatment serum is like this? Use an excessive amount of virus toxin to kill the virus?"

"Yes, the meaning is close." Dina nodded approvingly at Iger, and she said: "First of all, I have reservations about calling the blood plague infected body a virus. I don't think they are viruses, but a A living organism discovered for the first time by humans.

But everyone calls it that, let's use it for the time being.

A researcher in Chrisburg found that when blood plague viruses were cultured, they would have a very precise maximum density regardless of the nutrient concentration of the culture medium.He wondered if the virus had an internal control mechanism.

Then he filtered the virus culture solution, concentrated it a hundred and eighty times, and then dropped the original solution into the virus culture dish. It was great, and all the viruses were instantly inactivated. "

"It's that simple?" Iger said to Dina in surprise.

"Yes, it's that simple." Dina said while biting the deformed ice cream scoop.

"But." Dina said to Iger: "But this is his theory. I don't think the actual situation is that simple. The reason is you."

"Me?" Iger asked Dina suspiciously.

"Yes, you." Dina said: "Although judging from the results, the healing serum has indeed played a role, but the process between and the actual results may not be what we imagined.

To put it simply, this high concentration of venom does have an inhibitory effect on viruses, but this is only a superficial phenomenon, and we need to further analyze the truth behind this superficial phenomenon. "

Dina's worry is not unreasonable, because she doesn't think Iger is a normal person, he is an intermediate state between an infected person and a healthy immune person.

Dina yawned again, and she said to Iger: "I can't do it, I'm going to sleep for a while, I'm so sleepy. In this base, you can use the platform to call me at any time, if you choose 'urgent' ', there will be a broadcast to notify me.

But don’t do it if you’re fine, I’m very angry when I wake up. "

Dina floated away, leaving Iger and Joanna behind.

Iger took a look at his watch. He didn't like mechanical watches a bit. The watch showed the time at 2 o'clock. He didn't know if it was 2 o'clock in the morning or 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

Iger helped Joanna put the tableware in the sink to soak, and then wash it in the dishwasher when there were enough.

With household appliances, people suddenly become lazy.

It's rare that I'm in a good mood now, and Iger wants to go shopping again.

Dina is going back to the rest area at the entrance to sleep, and Iger is going to go to the accommodation area with Joanna.

……

Maria found that the workload of the gospel team was much higher than before, and the work had only stopped for two days, and it was already piled up like a mountain.

Such a large workload cannot be done by one person.

Poor Andy.

Although the time spent as a consultant in the sub-team was not long, Maria learned a lot.

Everyone has a different understanding of the core concept of the team: Iger thinks it is unity, Andy thinks it is balance, and Maria thinks it is shepherding.

"Be shepherds of the flock of God that is among you, overseeing them, not under compulsion, but willingly, according to the will of God; but to be an example to the flock.”

The church is the Lord's shepherd in the world.

Maria re-promoted the three subordinates when she was still in the gospel team, and then she called Alison, and Maria needed Alison to recommend some trustworthy people for herself.

Jixi Town, Chairman's Office, 4th Floor, Morgan Building.

Apart from Maria and Sister Alison, there were six other male and female believers in the room. These six people were all brought from Ross Town by Sister Alison after receiving the message from Maria. They are all believers in the Gospel Church.

A small ceremony is going on here.

"Sister Alison, today I will hold a revival ceremony for you here." Maria said to Sister Alison.

Sister Alison stood before Maria with her head bowed.

Maria asked Sister Alison, "Sister Alison, are you willing to continue to dedicate yourself to the Lord and continue to live a monastic life?"

"Yes, I would," Sister Alison whispered.

"Are you willing to abide by the three vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience forever in accordance with the canon of the Gospel Church?" Maria continued to ask.

"Yes, I would." Sister Alison said very firmly.

"May Almighty God grant you the grace to strengthen your good wishes." Maria blessed Sister Alison.

"Amen." Sister Alison praised.

"Amen." The six believers also praised in unison.

Maria dipped her finger in the holy water and dabbed it gently on Sister Alison's head, and said to her, "My Lord, please look down on your daughter.

Today she renews her oath of obedience before the sacred scriptures, and will make the exhortations of the Gospel her rule of conduct.

Protect her so that her life may honor your name and help others to gain salvation.

Amen. "

"Amen." Sister Alison praised again.

"Amen." The six believers praised in unison.

"Okay, Sister Alison, from today you are an official nun of the Gospel Church." Maria blessed Sister Alison: "May God be with you."

After the ceremony, several other believers exited the chairman's meeting room. At this time, Sister Alison said to Maria: "After you left Rose Town last time, I sent Father Locke's The Bible was given to Iger. Look at this."

Sister Alison turned around and took out a notebook from her purse on the table, and handed it to Maria.

what is this.

Maria opened the notebook and found that all the words on it were distorted and glued together like earthworms, which was almost illegible.

"God said, Let there be light: and there was light. (The Lord said: Let there be light, and there was light.)"

Fortunately, Maria was so familiar with this passage that she actually read it by feeling.

"This is, a manuscript copy of the Bible?" Maria flipped through the pages of the notebook, which was almost full.

"Iger wrote this in less than a month after you left Rose Town." Sister Alison said to Maria.

Iger Lee.

Maria said the name silently in her heart.

Father Locke once revealed an extremely important piece of information to himself, but out of caution, Father Locke did not mention his name.

However, through Maria's continuous observation, she found that there was a person who was more and more in line with Father Locke's direction.

Maria closed the notebook in her hand, and she said to Sister Alison: "Sister Alison, you are now the only guardian of the Evangelical Church, so I should and must pass on this secret to you. If one day I have encountered an accident, I hope you can pass on the duty of protection."

When Sister Alison heard this, she nodded excitedly.

Before Alison became a trainee nun, Maria told her the meaning of the existence of the Evangelical Church: the Evangelical Church exists to protect "THE ONE".

To Alison at the time, this was a very contradictory statement.

"THE ONE" is what Christians call Jesus, and Catholicism like the evangelical church generally calls Jesus the Son.

Today, Sister Alison is finally qualified to know this secret that needs to be guarded with her life.

Maria said slowly to Sister Alison: "There is a man whose soul came from heaven; he once died and was resurrected; he is the Son of God who came to the world, but he is not Joshua ben Joseph ( Jesus)."

Hearing Maria's words, Sister Alison's eyes widened in surprise.

Looking at the expression on Sister Alison's face, Maria recalled that afternoon.

Sister Maria was walking around Rapid Creek with Father Locke, and Father Locke suddenly turned his head to Sister Maria and said, "Maria, do you believe that souls really come from another world without disasters?" , his body is already dead, and the resurrection is another soul."
