"Hello!" Kay Lide greeted Dr. Doom, preparing to take a rest.
Dr. Doom's stand-in robot suddenly grabbed Kay Lide's arm: "Ky Lide, wait a moment."
"What's wrong? Doctor!" Kailide asked in surprise.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Doom asked nervously, mainly because he saw some red spots on Kay Rucker's body, like an allergic reaction.
"uncomfortable?"
"You have some red spots on your body." Dr. Doom opened a holographic mirror to Kay Lide. Kay Lide immediately saw many small red spots on his neck and forehead, and he suddenly became nervous.
I quickly started the automatic body detection system, and the results came out after a while. [Alert, alert, infected with Mars 17 virus, mild inflammation. Please receive isolation treatment as soon as possible.].
After a while, Liao Qingsong and others arrived, and the base's artificial intelligence system automatically notified Liao Qingsong.
"Captain, I'm infected with the Martian virus, I..." Kailide said nervously.
"I understand the matter. You should receive isolation treatment immediately. Don't worry." Liao Qingsong has turned on the biochemical protection function of the spacesuit.
Although he was a little scared, Kay Lide also knew that the alliance had a unique nano-treatment plan for virus treatment. Even if a suitable anti-viral vaccine or nano-binding point for the virus was not found, the "big cleansing treatment" could still be used, and there would be no problem in saving one's life.
About three hours later, Kai Lide was sent to the isolation cabin for isolation treatment and observation.
The other nine members of the second team of the Space Expeditionary Force at the Mars base also quickly underwent comprehensive physical examinations, and the presence of the Mars 17 virus was found in them. This situation immediately put the Human Innovation Alliance at risk.
What they were most worried about happened.
Three virus and medical experts, Zhao Hailun, Luo Wenxi, and Asido, quickly arrived at the Mars base through the stand-in robot.
Looking at Kai Lide's medical record report and the conditions of others, Luo Wenxi ordered: "Helen, you are a medical expert. I will leave the virus treatment to you and Asido."
"Okay." Zhao Helen nodded.
"Okay." Asido replied while reading the inspection report. The two of them took action quickly. Asido was responsible for finding a virus vaccine, while Zhao Hailun was responsible for using nano-treatment methods to test the nano-binding points of the virus. As long as the test showed
Precise nano-bonding points can reduce physical harm to patients.
Luo Wenxi turned around and discussed the Mars 17 virus with Dr. Doom.
"Dr. Wen Xi, the Mars 17 virus is a virus discovered in the atmosphere of Mars. It is a typical airborne virus. Judging from some previous research, this virus should not be very destructive." Dr. Doom thought for a while.
said.
"I know they are not very destructive, but we cannot guarantee that they will not mutate. Viruses that can survive in a harsh environment like Mars show how tenacious their vitality is." Luo Wenxi replied worriedly.
"Let's study the situation of the Mars 17 virus and their characteristics in the human body as soon as possible!" Dr. Doom suggested.
Luo Wenxi nodded, and the two began to test the characteristics of the Mars 17 virus.
Three days later, everyone in the Mars base developed symptoms of red spots. However, the vaccine and nano-junction points could not be completed in a short time. Although these red spots did not affect the work of the astronauts, the pioneering mission of the Mars base was still
Paused.
Mars Space Station, inside a conference room.
"A bad news and a bad news." Zhao Hailun said to the expert panel members.
"Let me tell you the bad news first!" Luo Wenxi said with a headache.
"The conditions of Kai Lide and Nikolai have deteriorated. I suggest that they be observed for one more day. If they still do not improve, start a major cleaning treatment plan." Helen Zhao explained with a solemn face.
After Luo Wenxi and the others discussed for a while, they nodded in agreement.
Zhao Hailun continued: "The good news is that we have initially understood the characteristics of the Mars 17 virus. It is similar to the smallpox virus. Its incubation period is about 7 to 15 days. It can be spread through the air and blood. In the early stage of infection, the infected person only has red spots and mild symptoms.
Symptoms of inflammation include severe pneumonia, high fever, and large areas of erythema in the mid-term. Berberine has a certain inhibitory effect on the virus."
"By the way, Dr. Helen, this virus also has a characteristic, it has a dormant period. Once the ambient temperature drops below minus 27 degrees Celsius, it will begin to enter a dormant state. If the big cleaning fails to work, it is recommended to transfer a batch of ultra-low temperature maintenance from Blue Star.
Come to the birth cabin." Dr. Doom reminded.
"Okay, I've written it down."
…
Mars base, inside the temporary quarantine area.
Liao Qingsong and others were helplessly waiting for treatment. He glanced at Fang Haibo who was watching a movie and suddenly felt something was wrong. He quickly thought about what was wrong.
Huh? Liao Qingsong quickly turned on the mirror function of the holographic bracelet. He looked at the red spots on his face. It seemed that there were fewer red spots than before. Is it an illusion? Or were they really less?
"Zhu Rong, bring up my image from yesterday."
Zhu Rong, the base's artificial intelligence, immediately called up Liao Qingsong's images from yesterday and gave them to him, and Liao Qingsong quickly compared them.
"Sure enough, it's a little less." Liao Qingsong quickly called Zhao Hailun and explained his physical condition to her.
After a while, the stand-in robots of Zhao Hailun and Asido appeared in the quarantine area and conducted a comprehensive inspection of Liao Qingsong and others.
Looking at the inspection report, Zhao Hailun said happily: "Mr. Liao and his colleagues have produced virus antibodies in their bodies and are now getting better."
"Or why did Nicola and Kay Lide not produce antibodies?" Dr. Asido said very confused.
"Huh?..." Zhao Helen also began to think deeply. Suddenly she seemed to have thought of something. She quickly turned on the holographic computer, called up the information of 10 people from Liao Qingsong, and then conducted a genetic comparison. Looking at the genetic comparison results, she suddenly said with enlightenment:
"I know what's going on."
"You mean genetics?"
"Yes, the five people including Chief Liao and Fang Haibo are pure East Asians. The other three people from Kazakhstan and Myanmar are mixed with East Asians. Nicholas has 13% East Asian ancestry, and only Kai Lide is.
Pure white people." Helen Zhao paused and said again:
"Combining the gene concentration of East Asians with their disease conditions, it can be seen that the gene concentration is inversely proportional to the disease condition, which means that East Asian genes must be resistant to smallpox virus."
After Dr. Asido made some observations, he discovered this pattern.
Three days later, the erythema and inflammation of Liao Qingsong, Fang Haibo and others had completely disappeared. However, Kai Lide and Nicholas had no choice but to choose a major cleaning treatment, and then quickly transported to the Mars space station to recuperate.
Regarding the fact that white people's genes are unable to fight against the smallpox virus, the alliance issued a silence order. After all, this thing is simply a natural racial genetic virus, and it may be exploited by others.
In addition, adjustments have been made to the astronauts or others sent to the Mars Territory. All pure white geneticists are temporarily restricted from entering the Mars Territory. Fortunately, there are not many pure white people in the Human Revolution Alliance, and even the Lucia Federation has many.
