Book of Technology

On this day, Wang Xiao was making a hummingbird robot step by step, and Zhang Lin was watching TV, but suddenly the TV series skipped.

"There's a piece of news below."

Wang Xiao looked up, curious about it.

"The Ministry of Health announced that Huaxia has entered a special stage of emergency epidemic prevention and control to avoid large-scale infection caused by the Ebola virus variant introduced by men in West Africa. Citizens are requested to wear masks when going out, wash hands frequently, and avoid going to crowded places ..."

When Wang Xiao heard the news, she sat up in shock. What's the situation with the variant of Ebola virus?

"Citizens, don't panic. The specificity of this Ebola variant is not too clear. The Chinese Ministry of Health is also urgently developing related therapeutic drugs..."

It seems that the matter has reached a serious point, otherwise Huaxia will never release this news.

This notice made Wang Xiao feel a little familiar, which reminded him of the previous epidemic of atypical pneumonia, a highly contagious disease that rapidly expanded the scale of infection after it first appeared.

Wang Xiao immediately changed the channel, and found that almost all the channels reported the prevention and control order announced by the Ministry of Health. Of course, the hosts were different, and the wording they said were also different, but the general core constant.

Don't go to crowded places, wash your hands frequently, don't believe in rumors, all epidemics are under prevention and control.

Wang Xiao believes in ghosts.

He first called his parents and told them to prepare food at home during this time and not to go out.

"Cough cough, don't worry, we won't go out during this time, we have everything at home, there is no need to go out to play, and people here are unfamiliar, cough cough..."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Xiao frowned because his mother's cough seemed to get worse.

This is a bad sign, and under this background, Wang Xiao had to think a little more, but since his mother had no contact with other people, it shouldn't be the mutated Ebola virus.

Wang Xiao is now a master of basic biology, so if he is given some medical equipment, he can tell whether his mother has the mutated Ebola virus, but where can I find the medical equipment?

The medical equipment he bought before remained in Ningcheng and was not moved here, so he had to buy it again, but now that the rumors are so tight, it may be difficult to purchase these medical equipment.

But it's impossible not to buy medical equipment, so Wang Xiao immediately inspected the large and small cities around Shanghai, and then successfully contacted a group of people who sell medical equipment.

These clearly stated that medical equipment can be bought and sold, but now this situation requires a price increase. Under this turbulent situation, the price increase is also understandable.

So Wang Xiao immediately bought some necessary experimental equipment, and he had people transport these medical experimental equipment directly to the villa where his parents lived.

In addition to these equipment, Wang Xiao also needs to purchase some other medical equipment that is prohibited from sale. It is very troublesome to buy these medical equipment, especially now, but as the sentence said , Money can make ghosts turn millstones.

After Wang Xiao continued to increase the price, he also successfully purchased the equipment he needed, and even bought some banned medicinal materials.

After placing all the equipment and experimental medicinal materials in his villa, Wang Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, you can't do these things on the bright side, because you will be caught if you don't pay attention, and Wang Xiao doesn't want to get into any trouble, so he is so cautious.

The medicinal materials he purchased allowed him to make a lot of strength potions. With these power potions, he no longer needed to use them sparingly. Even if he took them uninterruptedly, he could keep his whole body full of strength for more than a day.

But making the potion of strength will come later, which is not Wang Xiao's main purpose. What he has to do now is to find out whether his mother is infected with the Ebola virus variant.

So he tried his best to get some saliva from his mother, and then microscopically magnified the saliva in batches. Under the observation through the microscope, Wang Xiao discovered a fact that surprised him.

Under the microscope, these viruses are line-shaped and have unusually obvious characteristics of Ebola virus, but they are slightly different from ordinary Ebola virus.

It was very obvious that his mother had a variant of the Ebola virus. He couldn't figure out why his mother, who had been living in the countryside, had the Ebola virus? Could it be that the previous ones were all common colds, and the virus was contracted through certain channels after boarding the plane?

That being the case, what happened if neither he nor Lin'er nor Lin'er's parents were infected with the Ebola virus variant? Instead, his father had a slight cough.

After Wang Xiao got his father's saliva, he also passed microscopic observation and found that it was indeed the same Ebola virus.

Wang Xiao's mother passed it on to his father, but not to himself and Zhang Lin's family.

It seems that the contagiousness of the Ebola virus is not as strong as imagined, and it may need to be transmitted through some special channels.

Now that it is clear that it is a variant of the Ebola virus, Wang Xiao is very anxious. The variant of the Ebola virus is still a type of Ebola, so the fatality rate will definitely not be low.

The Ebola virus, which has a fatality rate of 50% to 100%, almost turned pale upon hearing of it, so Wang Xiao would never allow anything to happen to his mother.

He has to research a cure that can overcome the Ebola virus. He is now a master of basic biology, so he wonders if he can develop a cure.

You must know that Ebola alone has barely been brought under control thanks to the joint and unremitting efforts of medical institutions all over the world, and there is no fundamental way to treat it.

So he wasn't sure if he had this ability at all, but when things came to an end, he couldn't allow him to think too much, so he immediately started to experiment.

The first thing is to collect enough samples. Only when there are enough samples can he conduct reasonable experiments one by one until he finds the final cure.

But now pathogens can be said to be continuously produced, because both my mother and father are carriers of pathogens. Although this is somewhat unacceptable, there is no way.

Before doing the research, Wang Xiao isolated his parents from Uncle Zhang and the others, and prohibited contact with them.

This made his mother a little confused, but Wang Xiao said that she had the flu, so she understood it right away, so she didn't say anything more.

Just when Wang Xiao started his research here, in Tiancheng, a variant of the Ebola virus had infected many people.
