Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

With almost no hesitation, Johnson agreed to the proposal to cooperate with the experiment.

Although the Chinese researcher named Zhao Shuxuan emphasized to him that relevant clinical experiments have only been performed on mice, the direct application to humans may be accompanied by certain risks. However, for Johnson, this Is the only way he can return to earth.

If the Martian bacteria cannot be solved, he may have to stay on the Moon House for a lifetime, be isolated from the earth ’s ecosystem, or even be abandoned.

This is unacceptable to him who has a family on the earth and people waiting for himself to go back.

Sitting next to the medical bed, quietly waiting for the medicine prepared by the two researchers in the infirmary. After a while, the Chinese researcher who brought him here brought three capsules and a small bag. Water came over.

"Eat it."

I took three capsules from Zhao Shuxuan. Johnson didn't hesitate, threw it into his mouth, took a puff of water through the straw in the bag, and swallowed with the water.

I sat in the medical bed and waited quietly for five minutes, Johnson looked a little restlessly and looked around, seeing everyone in the laboratory looking at himself, so he said awkwardly.

"Uh, is this done?"

"I don't know," Zhao Shuxuan shook his head, "It will take an hour or two to know the specifics. I suggest you lie down and sleep for a while."

Johnson: "May I ask, where did the capsules come from just now? Don't get me wrong, I'm just curious ..."

Professor Leslie and Professor Zhao Shuxuan looked at each other, looking at him with a strange expression.

"... knows too much, it is not necessarily a good thing for you."

Johnson speculated: "Related to secrets?"

"That's not going to happen," Professor Leslie shrugged. "It's just ... only one person has an immune response to this bacterium."

I didn't hear the words, Johnson frowned and asked, "So?"

咳 With a slight cough, Professor Leslie continued, "And the bacteria are mainly lodged in the esophagus, especially the large intestine ..."

Johnson's face changed instantly.

"Shet ... wouldn't it ..."

"Yes, it's Shet ... or Shet's extract, but I think there should be a lot of differences."

I felt a tumult in my stomach, resisting the urge to vomit, and Johnson stared at him with a murderous look, asking hard, "Are you sure this thing ... works?"

"I ... I'm not sure," Professor Leslie smiled a little awkwardly, "but some things have to be tried before I know, right?"

Johnson still wanted to say something, but at this moment, a feeling of drowsiness hit his brain, and he couldn't help but put his index finger on his brows.

Wu realized his condition, Professor Lesley and Professor Zhao Shuxuan flashed a surprise in their eyes.

With the last trace of consciousness left, Johnson faintly heard the voice of the two talking.

"God ... our guess is correct!"

"Antibodies that can kill X-0172 bacteria are indeed in the extract of the metabolite of Colony No. 3!"

"... report the success of your research."

"..."

Uh ...

Almost the same time researchers on the Moon Palace completed the experiment.

Yuan Yuan is at the Jinling Institute of Advanced Research on the Earth.

Lu Zhou, who has been closely monitoring the progress of the experiment, came to the X-0172 Bacteria Special Laboratory, which was recently established, after learning about the success of the experiment. He asked Professor Liu Zuobing, the person in charge here, about the research on the Moon Palace .

"How are the conditions of the two colonists now?"

“I slept soundly. We tried various physical methods such as low temperature, overheating, and static electricity, and we could n’t wake them up,” he pushed and pushed the glasses, and Professor Liu continued. “In general, the experiment was quite successful, it was a verification To our conjecture. From the sampling of metabolites, traces of spores were observed in the metabolites of both colonists. "

Lu Zhou was refreshed and asked immediately: "That is to say, Taiwei's body did produce antibodies to X-0172 bacteria."

"Theoretically this should be the case," Professor Liu nodded, but then sighed again. "But the trouble now is that even if we find the antibodies, we can remove some of the X-0172 bacteria in the colonizers. , But it is difficult to further kill the spores with antibodies. "

Spore spores, also known as endospores, are bacterial dormant bodies, and are also known as the most tenacious living organisms in the biological world. They have outstanding performance in heat resistance, chemical resistance and radiation resistance.

Take Clostridium botulinum as an example. It takes 5 to 9.5 hours for its spores to be killed in boiling water. The anti-radiation ability of Bacillus megaterium is 36 times stronger than that of i cells. Even under the direct irradiation of ultraviolet rays and high-energy rays, it can still maintain its original life form for a long time.

The freely existing spores have no obvious metabolic effect, and only maintain the potential for germination, so they are also called hidden life. Once the environmental conditions are appropriate, the spores can germinate into vegetative cells at any time.

An inappropriate analogy is like instant noodle dehydrated vegetarian dish dumped into boiling water.

Therefore, if the spores in the colonists cannot be completely killed, it will be sooner or later until the conditions are good.

The atmosphere in the lab was silent.

Staring at the paper on the screen of the computer, Professor Liu Zuobing was lost in thought.

From the dignity in the eyes of this old professor, Lu Zhou can clearly feel that it is not easy to solve this problem ~ www.readwn.com ~ Even if it integrates the world's top biomedical research and development forces, and wants to find A solution is not an easy task.

Lu Luzhou: "About spores ... is there any good way?"

"If any, we must have tried it," Professor Liu shook his head. "International experts have met several times to discuss it. At present, the more reliable idea is probably intermittent sterilization, and constantly activate the spores. Then Kill again. But this involves a more troublesome problem. We may be able to toss several times to reduce the content of X-0172 bacteria in these colonists, but it is difficult to remove them. "

Lu Lu: "Like cancer cells that have spread?"

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

After listening to Professor Liu's statement, Lu Zhou thought for a while, then suddenly asked.

呢 "What about those extracts that contain antibodies? Do we have them in our laboratory?"

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

"Here ... what happened?"

Lu Luzhou: "Can I take a copy to study?"

Prof. Liu Zuobing glanced at Lu Zhou strangely, "It can be done, but it can be ... although I think it may not make sense."

He doesn't believe in Lu Zhou's strength, but he doesn't think it makes any sense at all.

This is just a metabolic extract. There are no X-0172 bacteria in it.

Even if you really want to study, you should n’t take this thing to study?

Lu Zhou smiled slightly and said.

"Is it meaningless? Only know if you try it."
