Chapter 650, Immunization Vaccine
In the Imperial Palace, Li Fu held a piece of data with a serious look on his face. Judging from the data obtained from various external time and space ocean current channels, the situation is not too optimistic, because more or less everything has been I found some people who were being boarded, and the situation was more serious than imagined.
Fortunately, the empire knew this in advance. If it hadn't been for Li Jinghui's major discovery, the empire might have been infiltrated by parasites. With the powerful spreading ability of parasites, the entire empire might have fallen soon.
"They were all found at the entrance of the space-time ocean current leading to the center of the Karawi world. A total of more than 1,000 boarded people were found in 5 ports, and all of them were caravans of the Fuyun Group, specializing in long-distance cosmic trade. Judging from the situation, the spaceships should have been parasitized in the river system near the Blood Moon Empire, and the situation is not too bad. "
Li Fu made a simple analysis of the data. As the empire closed its borders, the empire's caravans abroad also began to urgently recall. Those doing business near the empire found no boarded people, but among the caravans conducting far-space trade, But the person who was being boarded was found.
"As the notice continues, the caravans returning later must be inspected more carefully, especially those space caravans returning from river systems outside the Honor League."
Li Fu thought for a while and issued another order. At this time, he had to be careful, careful, and more careful.
"Brother Fu, the Honor Alliance has contacted us to protest our unilateral blockade of the space-time ocean current channel for no reason."
Beside Li Fu, Yu Liang, Chen Bin, Cao Haitao and other elders also arrived at this time.
"Hmph~ Let them protest, they are already dying and we don't know yet."
"Our empire has not signed any trade agreement with them. If we want to block it, we can block it. There is nothing we can do."
Yu Liang snorted dissatisfiedly.
"The Blood Moon Empire has also contacted us through the Honor Alliance, hoping that we can join them in the fight against the Zergan Alliance. Now these parasitic organisms are controlling more and more river systems, like a rolling snowball. Come here."
"Now we can no longer trust anyone except ourselves. These river system civilizations and forces may have been almost controlled by these parasites. Only ghosts dare to join them."
Cao Haitao and Yu Liang were discussing with each other, and everyone else was also thinking about the empire's response strategies.
"Should we tell them about these parasites?"
"Tell them what to do? Let these bugs know in advance? Now these bugs are in the light and we are in the dark. Once we notify them, these bugs will definitely know soon, and we will be exposed by then."
"Unless we can develop an effective response method and then we can truly declare war on these bugs, otherwise, it is better to delay it now."
Li Fu has never said anything. He listened to everyone discussing and discussing. What makes Li Fu unsure now is that he is very afraid that these bugs will penetrate into the empire and cause large-scale harm to the ordinary people of the empire. As for other things, he is not very worried.
"Let's go to the Imperial Institute of Biological Sciences."
Li Fu thought for a while and found that there was really no good solution. He was going to see the research progress of these bugs at the Institute of Biological Scientists.
…
A secret research base of the Imperial Institute of Biological Sciences, a huge space city. The entire huge space city has been tightly guarded. There are imperial space battleships guarding and supervising outside at all times. Once the space city If an uncontrollable situation occurs here, the entire space city will be destroyed immediately.
In the space city, there are immortal Yuanli masters from the empire sitting in every direction, and there are also a large number of advanced Yuanli monks from the empire who are constantly inspecting the checkpoints.
At the core of the space city, elite biological scientists from the empire are busy. Because they are worried about being controlled by bugs, the scientists transferred here are all people with deep Yuanli cultivation. Yan Jia, Li Shukuang, Jiang Xian He and other top biological scientists in the empire were also dispatched.
At this time, Li Shukuang was accompanying Li Fu, Yu Liang, Chen Bin and others on an inspection.
"Currently, we are making very rapid progress. Because we have living samples, coupled with Gu Yun's previous research results, our most important thing at the moment is to conduct research in three aspects."
"One is to study how strong the parasitic ability of these bugs is, and what kind of people can resist their lodging."
"The other is to develop an immune vaccine that allows ordinary people to be immune to insect parasitism."
"The last step is to develop a genetically targeted devil virus, a devil virus that specifically targets parasites, so that we can gain more advantages in the future war with these bugs."
Li Shukuang gave a detailed introduction while taking everyone to visit.
Everyone came to a laboratory. People from the empire were imprisoned in each laboratory. All of these people were people who voluntarily participated in the experiment. There were immortal Yuanli masters and people with relatively shallow cultivation. , all the various stages of Yuanli cultivation are included.
"Ah~"
"Woo~"
Voices came from the laboratory one after another. The citizens of the empire with little cultivation were easily parasitized by the parasites with little resistance. Their eyes turned scarlet and unpleasant screams came from the voices.
As for those at the average level, they are constantly fighting with parasites for control of their bodies, their bodies are spasming and twisting, and they make painful sounds at the same time. Some are able to resist and use their Yuanli to force out the worms that have invaded their bodies, while others have their eyes turned scarlet and weird after failing.
As for the advanced Yuanli cultivators, they are basically fine. Even if they are invaded, they can easily force out these worms with their strong and deep Yuanli, and they rarely seem relaxed.
"We have recruited more than 10,000 volunteers, including men, women, young and old, and people at all stages of cultivation. We found that the higher the Yuanli cultivation level, the stronger the resistance to this kind of worms. There is no need to worry if the cultivation level reaches the Yuanshi level or above, but it is difficult to resist the erosion of this kind of parasite below the Yuanshi level."
Li Shukuang looked at the painful report in the laboratory and sighed. There was no way. If you don't conduct experiments, you will never know the ability of the worms, so some sacrifices are necessary.
"Is there no way to save the people who are being hosted?"
"No way, the brain is damaged. The brain is the most vulnerable part of our human body and the most mysterious part."
"You can arrange some experts to go there. If they can't resist, they will help force the worms out immediately to reduce some deaths."
"Well, the experimental data has been mastered almost, and no more sacrifices are needed."
Li Fu looked at the painful faces and seemed very sad. These volunteers are the most courageous people in the empire to give and sacrifice. Many of them are scientists from the Academy of Sciences. Now for science, many people have sacrificed themselves without hesitation. This makes Li Fu very sad, but he also knows that this is a necessary sacrifice.
"This is our immune vaccine research center. We are studying the characteristics of this parasite and want to find their weaknesses to study the corresponding vaccine."
Soon, everyone came to the vaccine immune research center again. Vaccines are definitely not unfamiliar to everyone. In fact, the principle of vaccines is very simple. Generally speaking, they can be divided into two types.
One is to remove the replication gene, that is, the reproduction gene, from the corresponding virus gene, and then transplant these viruses into the human body, so that the human body can produce corresponding antibodies. Because these viruses have no reproductive ability, they will not reproduce indefinitely and cause harm to the human body.
The most representative of this type of vaccine is the hepatitis B virus vaccine. The hepatitis B virus vaccine is a kind of virus that removes the core RNA of virus replication, making the virus unable to replicate, and only retains the outer shell of the virus. This outer shell is the antigen. When this non-toxic and non-replicating virus shell is inoculated into the human body, it will stimulate the human immune system, produce specific immune factors against the virus body, and retain immune memory. When the real hepatitis B virus invades the human body, the body will immediately mobilize the body's original immune mechanism to kill the invading hepatitis B virus and protect the human body.
Another is to use those dead bacteria and viruses. They are no longer pathogenic, but they are still covered with shells, those with characteristic protein shells, which are enough information for macrophages to put on these coats when engulfing, and then after the reprocessing of auxiliary T cells, B cells release a large number of antibodies, thereby gaining immunity.
The two principles are to make the virus think that the organism has been occupied by its own kind, so it will not continue to occupy the organism. After all, they all look like a family, so there will be no more harm.
"Parasitic organisms are somewhat special. They are not viruses. They are much larger than viruses. We used dead parasites to make vaccines, but all failed. They seem to know whether each other exists or not. Progress in this area has not been very smooth."
Li Shukuang took Li Fu to visit and shook his head repeatedly about the research progress of immune virus vaccines. After all, parasites and viruses are not the same thing. The method of studying virus immune vaccines is useless for dealing with parasites.
"I remember that Li Jinghui mentioned something in his report. These parasites seem to have a strict hierarchy. Can we start to study immune vaccines from this aspect?"
Li Fu has been listening. In fact, he is very concerned about the research of immune vaccines, because only by studying immune vaccines can the safety of ordinary people in the empire be guaranteed.
