Douluo see you soon
Chapter 369 Metal Virus
As for the construction in full swing on the moon, that is a story for another day. Back in time, after the mother worm was captured, Tang Chen's adventure had just begun. They forced the mother worm to shut down and threw it into the storage soul guide.
.
Everyone boarded the off-road vehicle and set off again. There were all kinds of strange creatures in the metal ecosystem, and metal bugs were just one of them. Metal creatures walking on four legs also existed.
However, these creatures are generally not strong, and their use value is not as good as the metal plants that can enrich metal elements in the soil. Everyone just drives them away or kills them, without intending to capture them.
"Have you noticed? There are more and more metal creatures here!" Bo Saixi stopped the car, looked at the increasingly black earth, and took out a satellite map.
In the map, the closer this area is to the core, the darker the color. It is obvious that they are close to the core of the area.
"Ha Qiu! I don't feel right." Meng Shu sniffed, took out two pieces of toilet paper and blew his nose hard: "I always feel like there is something in the air!"
Chao Tianxiang frowned: "You just had a runny nose. With our immunity, we shouldn't catch a cold." As he spoke, he put his forehead against Meng Shu's head.
"So hot! You..."
Meng Shu's forehead was frighteningly hot. It was definitely not the body temperature that a normal person should have.
"Stay away from me." Meng Shu also realized that something was wrong with him and signaled everyone not to get close to him in case it was an infectious disease.
"Reach out, let me take some samples for testing." Jian Hongchen controlled the metal and turned it into a blood collection needle. He collected a drop of blood from Meng Shu's fingertip and conducted testing under the microscope.
"How is it? What is it?" Chao Tianxiang Guanqi asked.
"It's neither a bacterium nor a virus. On the surface, there isn't much problem with the blood, but the red blood cells are deactivated to a considerable extent. The inactivated red blood cells cannot continue to transport oxygen. It doesn't seem to be life-threatening at the moment, but it will take a long time.
I'm not sure." Jian Hongchen gave a not so good answer.
"Meng Shu has type O blood. If any of you also have type O, please draw blood first and prepare it! If the inactivation of red blood cells cannot be suppressed, then blood transfusion will be the only option."
Everyone looked at each other in confusion after hearing this. In the end, only Chao Tianxiang raised her hand: "I have type O blood, please draw mine!"
Fortunately among the misfortunes, at least one of the people still has type O blood. With the activity of the soul master's hematopoietic stem cells and timely nutritional supplementation, it can last for a long time.
"I think the problem may occur in the air. It's best for everyone to wear gas masks." Meng Shu sniffed. Although he had a fever, his ability to move was not greatly affected.
"What should we do now? Should we return immediately?" Chao Tianxiang stretched out her left arm, inserted the blood collection needle into the vein of her arm, and the dark red blood slowly flowed into the blood bag.
"I have already sent a radio to Senior Brother. He will rush to our location. There is no point in returning now. Unless we take a tidal fighter plane and return directly to Douluo Continent, the medical conditions in other places on the Sun and Moon Continent cannot be as good as ours now.
Better." Tang Chen distributed gas masks to everyone.
"Then let's go back! With the speed of the Tide Fighter, it won't take long to fly back!" Chao Tianxiang said anxiously.
"Don't worry, the most I can do when I go back is to do some testing. The teacher is not a god." Meng Shu himself shook his head and said, "It's okay for the Tidal Fighter to fly short distances, but flying long distances is likely to be attacked by Cloud Shepherds, which would be even more dangerous.
"
"Since the space station can deliver space-based weapons to us, it should also be able to deliver emergency supplies. The risk factor is actually not as high as imagined."
"I also agree to stay here. You can usually find detoxifying herbs near poisons. Although this is not guaranteed, since it is a disease caused by metallic life, it should be easier to find a cure here." Bo Saixi
She was the one with the most adventure experience among the people, so she spoke up, so Chao Tianxiang could not refute anything.
"Don't worry, I have found the reason for the inactivation of red blood cells!" Jian Hongchen pointed his finger on the slide: "It is that the iron element in the hemoglobin has been removed.
There seemed to be an extremely tiny thing in Meng Shu's body. They were similar to viruses, but they needed iron, so they disassembled his hemoglobin. What triggered his immune system's reaction was probably not the antigens carried by the pathogen itself, but
Hemoglobin whose properties have completely changed after disassembly is not recognized as an intruder."
Jian Hongchen can control metals, so he is more sensitive to the iron in red blood cells.
In order to relieve Meng Shu's dizziness and other conditions, Chao Tianxiang's blood has been injected into his body.
"In other words, the reason why the pathogen attacks my body is that it requires iron?" Meng Shu shook his head. The lack of oxygen supply to the brain made him feel dizzy.
"Do you think it's possible for the pathogen to get enough iron so that it won't attack me? Logically speaking, there are very few mammals in this area.
From an evolutionary perspective, the pathogens here should not have evolved the ability to parasitize specifically against mammals. The environment in the human body is probably extremely harsh for them, which will destroy hemoglobin.
The purpose of pathogens is to survive. Viruses will parasitize host cells because they need to use host cells as factories to copy themselves. However, human genetic material is probably different from these suspected silicon-based organisms. I speculate that they may not attack at all.
My cells reasoned that as long as I gave them enough metal elements, it might even be possible for me and the pathogen to live in peace."
Meng Shu's question has generated common sense among everyone, but silicon-based organisms are no longer something that common sense can explain, and Meng Shu's idea is indeed not a big problem.
Jian Hongchen nodded and said: "My limit is that I can break up metal into nanometer-sized particles. Let's stop the blood transfusion for a while. I will mix a little saline solution with the metal powder to form a suspension. I think I can give it a try."
"Are you sure?" Jian Hongchen broke up fifty grams of iron into nanometers. Such a large amount of metal elements is enough to make ordinary people heavy with metal.
"Come on! Even if it fails, it doesn't matter. The worst thing is to continue the blood transfusion!" Meng Shu stretched out his arm, and the saline solution mixed with metal was injected into his body. The soul master's strong physical fitness made him immune to metal poisoning to a certain extent.
Jian Hongchen collected Meng Shu's blood samples every five minutes: "It works! The amount of hemoglobin has stabilized and has even begun to rise. However, extremely small metal particles appeared in some white blood cells, with a volume about fifty times that of mitochondria."
One percent, it does not damage cells, and can even repair macrophages that have swallowed the virus!"
