This bunker is too huge, and Egger and Joanna haven't had enough time to walk around it. There must be other places to store supplies, but for now, it doesn't make much sense to find those reserves.
There are three days' worth of ingredients in the freezer in the internal restaurant, and they are prepared for 300 people. These ingredients alone are enough to feed the three of them for several months.
These ingredients are semi-finished products that are not shelf-stable. Fortunately, the normal operation of the refrigeration equipment keeps them intact. On the other hand, this saves a lot of processing steps and time.
The deer died in vain, and even Iger felt that its death was a pity and worthless.
All the remaining bits and pieces of the deer were stuffed into a half-empty freezer, where it would probably freeze to death.
Dina yawned one after another. If it weren't for the fact that she was too full and needed a while to digest, she would have gone to bed.
In the bunker, there is no longer the concept of morning, noon and evening. When to rest, when to work, and when to eat can all be decided at will according to personal needs.
After the dinner, Iger asked Dina when she would conduct the next experiment. Dina did not answer. She bit the ice cream spoon in her mouth in a daze.
Dina only looked at a very small part of the experimental data measured in tens of thousands of pages. As Dina often said, there is too much junk information in the world and it is necessary to select the useful part.
Dina read the information very quickly. When Egger and Joanna went out just now, Dina browsed thousands of pages of experimental data. After examining Egger's body, Dina already had a clearer understanding of the treatment serum.
concept, which allowed her to ignore at least 99.9% of spam messages.
These are all experimental data that failed before.
The development of blood plague treatment serum was also carried out in many ways, and various methods were used. However, except for one, all other attempts failed.
The truly successful experiments are not the latest ones, the latest ones are just another flurry of failures.
In fact, the only successful experiment had very little information and was independently developed by a researcher.
This researcher with a sharp mind did it with the mentality of giving it a try. Unexpectedly, he developed the only successful and effective treatment serum.
From this point of view, it has been verified again from another aspect that the idea of killing viruses may be wrong at all.
Before, Dina always thought that the experiment failed because they lacked the core code of the virus, but now it seems that is not the case.
When the virus has spread all over the body, any attempt to eliminate them will end up with nothing more than a single kill or a double kill.
Kill the experimenter alone, or kill both the virus and the experimenter.
Of course, these materials all show that before the outbreak of the blood plague, Krisburg had not yet begun formal human experiments, but Dina already knew all the results.
It is often easier to reverse the steps after knowing the results, whether it is solving problems or doing scientific research.
First have certain results, and then look at the problem-solving ideas, and 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 go through the steps.
But she didn't expect that this experiment was simpler than Dina imagined. It was more like a "science experiment" for elementary school students.
"What's 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."
Egg scratched his head and said: "I'm probably at the level of a high school student."
High school, especially senior year, is the intellectual peak of a person's life. The further you go, the dumber you become.
"Okay, then I'll speak slower." Dina thought for a moment and then said to the two of them: "I now understand how the treatment serum is made. The principle is so simple that it is shockingly simple.
Do you know about the intraspecific struggle of living things?
It doesn’t matter if you don’t know the word, let me give you a practical example.
There are many tadpoles in a pond. As the tadpoles grow, they will continuously release a toxin to the outside world. The larger the tadpoles release, the more toxins they release. Of course, the larger the tadpoles, the more resistant they are to the toxins.
powerful.
When the toxin concentration reaches a certain level, those weak tadpoles will be poisoned to death.
However, the concentration of toxins in the pond will further increase as the tadpoles grow, until eventually, only the largest and strongest tadpoles survive to become frogs or toads.
This behavior of tadpoles is called self-poisoning, and it is a natural mechanism to regulate population density."
What Dina said in this paragraph is very simple and thorough. Everyone is familiar with this theory of survival of the weak by eliminating the strong.
After all, what América is practicing is Social Darwinism.
Egger said to Dina: "You mean, this is the principle of the treatment serum? Use excessive amounts of viral toxins to kill the virus?"
"Yes, the meaning is close." Dina nodded approvingly at Egg, and she said: "First of all, I have reservations about calling blood plague infections viruses. I think they are not viruses, but a virus.
A living organism discovered for the first time by humans.
But everyone calls me this way, so let’s use this title for the time being.
A researcher in Chrisburg discovered 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 whether the virus had an internal control mechanism.
Then he filtered the virus culture solution, concentrated it 180 times, and then dropped the original solution into the virus culture dish. Great, all the viruses were instantly inactivated."
"Is it that simple?" Egger said to Dina in surprise.
"Yes, it's that simple." Dina said while biting the deformed ice cream scoop.
"But." Dina said to Egger: "But this is his theory. I think the actual situation is not that simple. The reason is you."
"Me?" Egger said to Dina doubtfully.
"Yes, you." Dina said: "Although judging from the results, the treatment serum does have an effect, the process 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 the virus, 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 does not think that Egg is a normal ordinary person. He is in an intermediate state between an infected person and a healthy immune person.
Dina yawned again, and she said to Egger: "I can't do it anymore. I'm going to take a nap first. 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 that, I’m very angry when I wake up."
Dina floated away, leaving Iger and Joanna behind.
Iger looked at his watch. He didn't like mechanical watches. This watch showed the time at 2 o'clock. He didn't know whether it was 2 o'clock in the morning or 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
Egger helped Joanna put the dishes into the sink and soak them, and then wash them in the dishwasher when there were enough.
After having household appliances, people suddenly became lazy.
It's rare that I'm in a good mood now, and Iger wants to go shopping around again.
Dina returned to the rest area at the entrance to go to bed, and Egg was going to go to the accommodation area with Joanna.
…
Mary discovered that the workload of the gospel team was much greater now than before. The work had only stopped for two days and it was already piling up.
Such a huge workload cannot be completed by one person.
Poor Andy.
Although she didn't work as a consultant for the sub-team for a long time, 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.
“Shepherd the flock of God that is among you, overseeing them according to the will of God, not under compulsion but willingly; not out of love for money, but willingly; and not as lords over those entrusted to you,
He is an example to the flock.”
The church is the Lord’s pastor on earth.
Maria re-promoted three of her subordinates who were still on the gospel team, and then she called Alison. Maria needed Alison to recommend some trustworthy people for her.
Jixi Town, Chairman's Office on the 4th floor of Morgan Building.
In addition to Maria and Sister Alison, there were six other male and female believers in the room. These six people were all brought by Sister Alison from Rose Town after receiving the message sent by Maria.
The helpers who came were all believers of the Evangelical Church.
A small ceremony is being held here.
"Sister Alison, I am here to hold a renewal ceremony for you today." Maria said to Sister Alison.
Sister Alison stood in front of 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 do." Sister Alison whispered.
"Are you willing to always observe poverty, chastity, and obey the three vows in accordance with the canons of the Evangelical Church?" Maria continued to ask.
"Yes, I do." Sister Alison said very firmly.
"May the Almighty God grant you the grace to strengthen your good wishes." Maria blessed Sister Alison.
"Amen," Sister Allison chanted.
"Amen." The six believers also praised in unison.
Mary dipped her fingers in the holy water and poured it gently on Sister Alison's head, and said to her: "My Lord, please look down on your daughter.
Today, she renewed her vow to obey the sacred scriptures and will use the advice of the gospel as the criterion for her behavior.
Please protect her so that her life may glorify your holy name and help others obtain salvation.
Amen."
"Amen," Sister Allison said again.
"Amen." The six believers chanted in unison.
"Well, Sister Alison, from today on you are an official nun of the Evangelical Church." Maria blessed Sister Alison: "May God be with you."
After the ceremony, several other believers exited the chairman's conference room. At this time, Sister Alison said to Maria: "Last time you left Ross Town, according to your request, I transferred 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 then handed it to Maria.
what is this.
When Maria opened the notebook and took a look, she found that it was all filled with words that were twisted and stuck together like earthworms, making it difficult to read.
"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 read it out by feeling.
"This is a Bible manuscript?" Maria flipped through the notebook page by page and looked at it, almost filling the whole book.
"This was copied by Egg in less than a month after you left Ross Town." Sister Alison said to Maria.
Egg 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 discovered 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 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 encountered an unexpected incident, and I hope you can pass on the responsibility of protecting me."
When Sister Alison heard this, she nodded excitedly.
Before Alison became a novice, 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 Catholic churches like the Evangelical Church generally call Jesus the Son.
Today, Sister Alison is finally qualified to know this secret that needs to be guarded with her own life.
Maria slowly said to Sister Alison: "There is a man whose soul comes from heaven; he once resurrected from the dead; 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 Allison's face, Maria thought back to that afternoon.
Sister Maria was walking around Jixi Town with Father Locke. Father Locke, who was in a melancholy mood, suddenly turned his head to Sister Maria and said: "Mary, do you believe that there are souls from another world without disasters?"
, his body is dead, and what is resurrected is another soul."
