Son of the Stars

Chapter 112 The Hypocrite

There is no doubt that during this process, damage to other cells consumes a large amount of the energy carried by the energy-releasing photons.Breaking a chemical bond requires absorbing energy, and the energy carried by photons is significantly greater than that required to break a chemical bond - this energy is eventually dispersed and converted into heat energy.

This thermal energy is not very likely to cause the human body's body temperature to soar suddenly at first. The biggest reason is that the area that absorbs the thermal energy is concentrated near the damaged ball.Its properties should be close to those of low-temperature burns, and should not become a whole-body heating source.

"So, the high temperature at the beginning should be mostly due to the body's own immune fever." Yang Weimin said to himself while rubbing his chin. "The fever at the beginning is due to the concentration level of heat shock protein in the tissue. Rapid rise...this is wrong." He shook his head and said, "We have used hormones on patients. If it is a simple immune hyperthermia, hormones can suppress the high fever."

"That only shows that we still don't understand the mechanism of heat shock proteins deeply enough." Lu Chen is very confident in his reasoning, "As long as the basic physical laws do not change, this basic concept will not go wrong. The only problem is , what is the relationship between heat shock protein and immune fever, how does it work, and how does it affect fever."

Mu Zhiran, who had been listening in, suddenly asked, "What is the function of this heat shock protein? Does it cause cells to...shock under overheating?"

"That's not true." Lu Chen, who had been educated by Dr. Mu for almost three months, finally found the knowledge that he could teach Mu Zhiran. His whole mental outlook was a little different, "Heat shock protein... it mainly plays a role in A protective effect. From a microscopic perspective, the concentration of this protein is positively related to the cell's tolerance to heat, ultraviolet rays, and other damage. But its specific mechanism of action is not yet clear - after all, it does not show long-term effects. Protein, only when the human body is under stress, cells will begin to synthesize a large amount of this protein."

Tang Qinglong suddenly waved his hand. He interrupted Mu Zhiran's question and asked, "Xiao Lu, this... this protein you are talking about, does it react to ultraviolet light?"

"When the human body is exposed to ultraviolet rays, heat shock proteins will begin to be synthesized in large quantities in the cells." Yang Weimin interrupted and explained, "There should be no special relationship between heat shock proteins and ultraviolet rays. Its reaction is the same as that of all other proteins." The same thing—ultraviolet light causes the chemical bonds within the protein to deteriorate and break, thereby triggering protein denaturation.”

Although this explanation may even sound a bit rogue, it is indeed the current explanation for many drugs, proteins, antigens and even cell apoptosis in the entire medical community and even in the basic medical industry.

We don’t know how it works, and we’re not even sure if it’s related to a certain phenomenon.But based on statistics and clinical testing, it works.The so-called "it doesn't matter if it's not clear yet, it doesn't matter if it remains to be seen." This is a somewhat nonsensical discovery.

Tang Qinglong nodded, "Although we don't know how it works specifically, and we can't be sure whether it can really increase the ability of cells in the human body to resist heat and damage. But according to the observations of the medical community and biologists, We can draw a rough conclusion - through the concentration of heat shock proteins in the human body, we can reversely infer whether the individual has experienced severe heat, mechanical injury or excessive ultraviolet radiation, right?"

Lu Chen seemed to vaguely understand what Tang Qinglong meant, "Yes, that's right, what you mean is..."

"We just discussed how to diagnose quantum energy release syndrome." Tang Qinglong nodded, "Then can the blood concentration level of this protein be used as a marker?"
-
As the saying goes, it may not be your peers who kill you, sometimes it may be someone from across the border.

Lu Chen and Yang Weimin now have a new and profound understanding of this sentence.

How to determine whether a living person suffers from quantum release syndrome is really a difficult problem.The process of electrons falling from the excited state of n=2 back to the ground state does not happen frequently, and it is also a fleeting process.It is almost impossible to detect this phenomenon with ordinary pathological examination.

Lu Chen and Yang Weimin put forward some diagnostic suggestions based on the standard thinking mode of clinicians and based on the symptoms summarized so far.But that’s about it—these recommendations are based on known symptoms.This diagnosis relies on the clinician's knowledge and their sensitivity to the symptoms.

It is the "tradition" and even the "foundation" of clinical medicine to suspect that a patient suffers from a certain disease based on clinical symptoms.But it's certainly not accurate enough.

Both clinicians knew this and believed that doing so was not an option.After all, quantum energy release syndrome is a disease caused by changes in physical properties. It has no pathogen and will not cause any changes in markers in the blood.

Within hours, the two clinicians were being taught a lesson by academicians in the field of physics.The most annoying thing was that Lu Chen and Yang Weimin told him about the change markers they suggested.

The two clinicians remained silent the whole time as they got off the bus and returned to the hotel.This silence even made Tang Qinglong feel slightly uneasy.

Fortunately, Mu Zhiran knew her boyfriend well enough, and she was very sure that her partner was not a petty person.She gave her mentor a comforting look, "They are just a little stimulated, they will be fine in a while."

Although they were mentally stimulated, considering how anti-human it was to get up at four o'clock, everyone decided to disband first and go back to bed.Now that they have met several core members of the coalition government, perhaps after waking up, they can pack their bags and prepare to go home.Watching the other team members gradually disperse, Li Xiaohui slowly turned around and walked towards the door.

She walked out of the hotel lobby step by step, walked through the parking lot outside the lobby, and walked to the road.

Then she got into a car that parked slowly beside her.

The door closed. Driven by the hydrogen fuel cell and electric motor, the black car accelerated smoothly and quickly merged into the increasingly busy traffic flow.

Sitting in the car, Director Li Xiaohui was silent for a long time.From the moment she got in the car to now, she had no communication with the driver in front of her.Just sitting in silence like this, not saying a word.

About 10 minutes into the drive, a layer of frosted glass suddenly stretched out between the back seat and the front seat.After completely separating the front and rear rows, the green light flashed and a screen flipped down from the roof of the car and appeared in front of Li Xiaohui.

On the screen was a young girl with a pen and paper and a folder, her hair was messy, and she looked very at a loss.

"Director Li." The young girl on the screen greeted Li Xiaohui, "The bureau already knows that you are going to meet with the committee - we don't need to know the specific content."

"I'm not asking for a meeting to tell you what the three core members said to us." Li Xiaohui said with a cold face, "Have you obtained the information I requested? Who proposed and pushed us to withdraw from the North American base immediately? of?"

The little girl replied with a look of embarrassment, "Mr. Li, the bureau has regulations that all information involving the academic committee and academicians cannot be disclosed to outsiders."

Li Xiaohui was silent for a few seconds and then asked, "That means at least one academician was involved in this matter?"

Seeing her contact person in such a difficult position, Li Xiaohui felt a little irritated. She shook her head and said, "None of this matters anymore. Tell the bureau that there must be something wrong with this withdrawal - even though the academic committee clearly stated that There is a discussion about whether Watanabe is still a human being, but there is no urgency to this issue."

"No matter who promoted the emergency evacuation, he must have known about the explosion in advance." Li Xiaohui frowned and said, "He learned about the explosion in advance, but he did not notify the United Guards troops who had assisted in the defense to evacuate, nor did he let the surrounding The residents were evacuated. All the doctors sent by the mental health center have lost contact, and there is no news until now..."

Her voice was obviously angry, "I don't know what this person's purpose is for withdrawing us in advance, but it is obvious that he is not very friendly."

"I have recorded your report." The little girl on the screen said, "Is there any other news that needs to be reported?"

"No more." Li Xiaohui shook her head and turned off the screen.The glass sound insulation layer slowly lowered, the car turned around at a traffic light, and then stopped in front of the hotel again.

Li Xiaohui got out of the car and walked silently on the side of the road for dozens of meters, and then slammed the mobile phone in her hand to the ground.

She looked at the phone that was shattered into powder, spat on the ground with disgust and lack of quality, and then cursed in a low voice.

"A bunch of fucking hypocrites!"
